Chapter 183 - Chapter 183

((( DEO )))

"I do too. But very well, I'd be leaving you for now to get these papers done."

I sighed.

This secret that Zhio kept so firmly was to be announced. I know everybody would be surprised and there was this certainty that she'd get dragged into the death trap that Zhio probably fell into.

"The conference room has been set Sir Deo," my assistant approached me, "the attendees were gradually coming in."

"Has Mr. Brundon arrived?" I asked.

He nodded.

Derick…

I'm betting he'd be extremely surprised.

Amidst the quietness of the lounge, someone hurriedly went into view to give me a phone call.

"Sir! It's Master Zhio!"  

"Sir," I immediately answered the other line.

"Fuck Deo! Fuck!"  

It was really him.

Before I could say anything, the call got cut.

"Call the number again and trace its location," I called out to whoever was capable to do so.  

"Out of Coverage Area," one employee shouted.

"Tracing…"

Panic and a surge of excitement rose in the air.  

The door opened.

"Sir Deo," my assistant approached me.

"Atty. Wenziel is asking for you."

"Search for Master Zhio," I turned back to the specialists before going outside to where the attorney was.

"Prepare Claire," Atty. Wenziel spoke.

He was about to leave his suite just as I have arrived.  

I returned back to the lounge.

"The caller…" one of the employees tasked to track Zhio's whereabouts spoke, "…is entering the company premises. He's approaching."

"Possibly…" My heartbeat raced in anticipation.

There was an unspoken tension and suddenly, I heard my own heartbeat.

Everybody turned their gazes to the hallway.

"…Ma-master Zhio."

I turned my gaze too.  

"Sir…"

"Bullshit. Clean all this mess right now!"

Zhio's curse words never sounded as pleasant as that.  

He was alive!

"Yes Sir!"

Zhio passed as by and his men followed him to his office. Judging by how shabby his appearance was, I knew Zhio has been through hell.

"Let's get back to our jobs guys. The President is back!"

I smiled at the employees.

I took the elevator and hurriedly entered the conference room where the meeting had commenced a few minutes without me.

Atty. Wenziel and Dr. Eriez's faces were in a desolate frown while the rest of the attendees were laughing at some unpleasant notion that was pointed out.

"What could a fetus do for the company? We need a present acting president, not some yet to be born zygote," Chairman Do laughed.

"Who knew if that woman you are talking about was lying about carrying Zhio's heir in her womb?"

Claire wasn't there but they probably knew about her, not in name or in face, just her existence.  

"So gentlemen," the Chairman continued, "…should we start the voting?"
