“Have you heard that the boss will be coming today?” a female in a company

staff attire asked.

“Yes, I did. I never thought that the person who has been managing this company isn’t the boss after all,” another said.

“What did you think? That someone as young as him can be the boss of such a big company?”

“Pfft. You speak as if the Scotts‘ empire isn’t run by a person less than

thirty years old,” a male employee said as he sneered and wondered where they love to discriminate so much.

“Speaking of President Damien, have you seen how beautiful his fiancee is?”

“She is indeed beautiful but she is still inferior to Miss Anderson from the Anderson Corp,” the man said.

“Gosh, how can I forget that woman? Yes, she is so pretty but she is always cold and aloof. I wonder whether she can be romantic, I wonder who will ever fall for such a lady,” the first female said.

“Girl, you should just stop talking in that manner. After all, if you really have the finances or were brought up in such a big and the richest company maybe you would be like her. Don’t think it is easy managing a company when you are mostly a woman. Some businessmen are so scheming and always want sleep with you so that you can secure some projects and if you fail, some are even more shameless to drug you You can’t po smiling and talking to them as

sleep with you so that you can secure some projects and if you tail, some are even more shameless to drug you. You can’t go smiling and talking to them as if you regard them as friends as you will be backstabbing from behind. You need to be tough, more scheming than them and cold. Make everyone afraid o you so that they can be afraid to make a move on you,” another female who had been quiet suddenly said, making everyone around her nod their heads.

“Winnie, sometimes I envy how wise you are. I am sure that you can become a successful businesswoman if you ever open a company,” the second female said with envy evident in her eyes, making the previous woman who spoke shake her head.

“Even though our company has been declining after years passed, I still want to stay here and see whether we can revive it,” Winnie said, making everyone look at her as they wondered whether she was crazy.

“Girl, even though sometimes you speak full of wisdom. I don’t think your decision is wise at all! It is as if you are a fool to keep believing in the company cause if this continues then I am afraid that the company can’t survive even for a month,” the first female said as she shook her head but

the others agreed with them.

Hearing the words going around, Winnie sighed as she didn’t know what to do. All she was trying to do was give them hope and at least convince them otherwise since a lot of employees had resigned in just one week.

“I hope you all understand me. I have been in this company for more than five years since I got out of university. When I was desperately in need of a job, they offered me a chance. I can’t just forsake them in time of need when they were there when I needed them,” Winnie said without looking at anyone.

After they heard the reason for her persistence, they all had to agree with

“Although we also want to be with you and hope for the best. How can we continue working without getting paid? We have to pay the house rents, insurance, buy food and some have kids who need school fees or elders back in the countryside waiting for their children to send them money. At least, we don’t need to buy clothes right now but…” another man said with a defeated

tone.

“I understand. I hope that wherever you all go we will all be successful and meet one day,” Winnie said with a smile on her face and everyone agreed with her words.

In their company, they were never jealous of each other. They supported and treated each other as one big family.

As they cheered they heard the clapping of hands and they looked in that direction just to replace their big boss leaning on the elevator door, shocking them all.

“I have something to tell you all since I can see that you are all here,” their boss said, making them nod their heads in fear.

“I have heard what you guys have been talking about. Actually, I inherited this company after my father died. So it is really my company for those who were asking whether I can be the owner of such a big company,” he said with a smile but those who were speaking felt embarrassed.

“After my father gave me the company, the shareholders withdrew their shares when they saw that we were being oppressed by the Scotts since they opened the same industry as us. It isn’t that I want to lose hope or that I want to let any of you because the company has been declining. You all have been like a second family to me. You’ve made this place like a home, making me not feel

sad when I leave my house early in the morning. After I saw how many letters of resignation I got on Monday, I panicked. I don’t want my father’s hard work to be crushed just because I am not perfect in this industry, thus I decided to sell the company.” He stopped talking and looked at his employees.

They started murmuring among themselves as they wondered what was going with them. Even though they had said they would resign, they had not decided fully yet.

“I know what you all are anxious about. What will happen to you all now that I have decided to sell the company? Will you all get fired or continue working here or will the new owner change industries so as not to be oppressed by the Scotts? The answer is no, the company will still remain, maybe rebrand the name and logo. None of you will be fired since I already. made an agreement with the new boss and all your salary will be paid. The person who bought the company is from a very rich background. They are stronger and richer than the Scotts, thus you don’t need to be afraid,” he said, making them break into cheers since that was not their expectation.

They heard footsteps walking into the company, making them stay silent and look in the direction.
