    yon!

    Tyler walked over. Thomas seeing Tyler had an instant smug expression on his face. Walking

    Chairwoman Lockwood looked at her ridiculous grandson with a nk expression. She couldn’t believe how clueless he was<b>. </b>Tyler turned his head in disgust. Thomas, assuming it was due to jealousy as he had just secured the CEO position, wasted no time rubbing it in his face.


    “My dear cousin, with this new deal, I’m sure I

    to


    ld respond, his grandmother spoke.


    Thomas had a puzzled look on his face, surly she couldn’t be serious. He’d just secured a billion–dor deal, pushing back his concerns and doubts. Thomas assumed his grandmother was joking. Turning back to Aaron, he resumed their conversation.


    <i>“</i><i>Chairman </i><i>Michaels</i><i>, </i><i>you’ll have </i><i>to </i><i>excuse </i><i>my </i><i>grandmother</i><i>, </i><i>though </i>she <i>may </i><i>not </i><i>always </i><i>show </i><i>it</i><i>, </i><i>she’s </i><i>beyond </i><i>ted</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>

    <i>“</i><i>Lockwood</i><i>, </i><i>why </i><i>don’t </i><i>we </i><i>toast </i>to the <i>new </i><i>deal </i><i>between </i><i>our </i><ipanies</i>.<i>” </i>


    Thomas’s face lit up! This was surely a joyous moment. Grabbing three sses, he handed one to his grandmother and one to Tyler. Aaron did a light tap on his ss causing others to look in their direction. Suddenly the music ying paused as Aaron walked up to the podium and grabbed the mic, all eyes on him.


    “If I <i>could </i><i>have </i><i>everyone’s </i><i>attention </i><i>please</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    All eyes were on Aaron as he continued.


    <i>“</i><i>First</i>, I’d <i>like </i>to <i>think </i><i>everyone </i>for <iing </i><i>to </i><i>my </i><i>annual </i><i>charity </i><i>ball</i><i>. </i><b><i>The </i></b><i>money </i><i>raised </i><i>here </i><i>tonight </i><i>will </i>be used <i>to </i><i>fund </i>the <i>orphanage </i>center <i>here </i>in Banton, <i>Part </i><i>of </i><i>the </i><i>reason </i><i>I </i>do <i>these </i><i>events </i><i>all </i><i>over </i>the <i>world </i><i>is </i>to <i>make </i>sure <i>my </i><ipany </i><i>continues </i>to <i>help </i><i>these </i><i>organizations</i>.<i>” </i>


    Loud ps and cheers spread throughout the ballroom. Aaron held his hand up signally for the crowd to quiet down as he continued.


    “Second, <i>as </i><i>many </i><i>of </i><i>you </i><i>may </i>or <i>may </i>not <i>know</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>recently </i><i>got </i><i>engaged</i><i>. </i><i>So, </i>I’ll be <i>introducing </i><i>my </i><i>beautiful </i><i>fiancé </i><i>soon</i><i>! </i><i>And </i><istly</i><i>, </i><i>I’d </i>like to use <i>this </i>opportunity <i>to </i><i>announce </i><i>that </i><i>MGT </i><i>Hotels </i>and <i>Resorts </i><i>will </i><iing </i><i>to </i>the entire <i>Northern </i><i>continent</i><i>! </i><i>I’m </i><i>pleased </i><i>to </i><i>announce </i><i>that </i><i>Lockwood </i><i>Architecture </i><i>Corp </i><i>will </i>be <i>the </i><i>leading </i><i>architecture </i>and designing <ipany</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    Cheers irrupted throughout the ballroom, many screaming congrattions to the Lockwoods fornding such a deal. As the apuds continue, the Crests made their way over to the front. The looks on their faces were stunned. They couldn’t believe Thomas actually secured the deal. Davis was the first to congratte him.


    “Thomas <i>my </i><i>boy</i><i>! </i><i>Congrattions </i>to my <i>dear </i>son<i>–</i><i>in</i><i>–</i><iw</i><b><i>!</i></b><b><i>” </i></b>


    Thomas had a smug look as he shook Davis’s hand. Looking over at Darius and Daniel whose faces darken, he let out a <i>light </i>chuckle. Danielle kept her eyes on Aaron, she would wait until after the celebrating to make her <b>move</b>.
