Chapter 362 - THE NEW PRESIDENT

Because of Jillyanna's appointment with Atty. Lewis, Savannah cleared Travis' schedule so that she can accompany his wife.

Since she was five years old, it was her first time to set foot in the company that her father founded.

"Oh my gosh! Is Jillyanna our President's daughter? I've seen her once but she was very young back then." one of the middle aged women whispered to her colleagues.

"I guess so. It was announced that the new President will come today and Atty. Lewis even meet with her personally." responded one of the employees.

"Would it fine? Won't the directors disapprove of her? After all, she never once visited this place in these past years."

"Who knows?" shrugged one of the employees. "As long as I get my pay, I don't care who's going to own the President's seat."

"You are right."

Jillyanna walked with Travis beside her while Savannah and Hawk were following behind them.

"It's a rather big company." Travis murmured next to her ears which made Jillyanna smile proudly.

Atty. Lewis led them to the top floor where the board of directors were waiting for them. "Please come in." Atty. Lewis opened the office door and gestured them to get inside.

"Good morning." Jillyanna greeted them politely since they could be considered her seniors.

"Good morning Madam President." they greeted her back which put her in an awkward position. She didn't want to become their president at all.

"I..uh..regarding the presidential matter. I am here to clarify this." Jillyanna took a seat and faced them bravely. "I will be selling my share to my husband and let him manage the company."

For a moment, the room sank into a deafening silence before a middle aged woman asked her a question.

"Darling dear, why are you selling away your father's company? Isn't it to harsh to your late father?" the woman asked politely but her words were indeed something that Jillyanna had been thinking for a long time.

"I am not being harsh in selling the company. In fact, I am being extra careful. If you have heard of me before, I am a child with CHD. Any moment, I'd be gone and I want someone who will manage the company for me. Currently, I am five months old pregnant and in the future, my child would also inherit this company. So, why not have my husband take care of this business matter for me? I don't want to stress myself and I don't want the company to suffer either. So selling my shares to him would be the best choice."

Someone raised his hand and asked Jillyanna the same question that Travis asked her. "Why don't you just transfer the share to your husband's name?"

"I need money to give to the orphanage where my parents grew up."

"After giving this money, will stop supporting the orphanage?" someone asked again from the directors.

"Nope. Before coming here, I asked Atty. Lewis to make a draft for me. Since I have fifty-eight percent of the shares, the excess of three percent will be given to the orphanage. My husband will take care of that. And the next generation will do the same."

"Aren't you being hard to your future generation of heir and heiress?"

"Nope. It's just right that they learn to share what they have." Jillyanna answered positively. "There's no need to be selfish. You can't bring your money when you die so might as well share it when you can and help those that are in need."

"You are just like your father." the middle-age woman spoke again. "I am Linda Miran, the Vice-President."

"Oh..are you the same professor Linda who bought my father's first shoes?" Jillyanna asked the woman happily.

"Yes. That's me. Looking at you makes me remember my kind and industrious student. Your father was awfully kind that I'd have to remind him how to do his business in order to make profit. In the end, he made the Vice-President."

"Thank you so much for taking care of my father." Jillyanna mumbled at the woman before she turned to face everyone. "So here today, I am introducing to you the new President, Travis Madrigal."

Everyone gave him a round of applause and Travis made a deep bow in front of them. "This company is very important to Jillyanna and I am thankful that you keep the company intact all these years. I'd like to thank Atty. Lewis for finding my wife and for letting her know of her father's information. I will do my best in managing this company and not let down everyone."

"We trust your words Mr. Madrigal. How else can you build your own J Entertainment and manage a big Venus Plaza if not with your intelligence? We know that you will help us do better." Atty. Lewis spoke with utmost respect for the younger man.

Everyone felt the same towards him. He's young yet he was able to build her own J Entertainment, manage the Venus Plaza and the hacienda that his mother left. He was really remarkable so they didn't question Jillyanna's decision anymore.

After that meeting, Travis and Jillyanna went inside Anton's office to sign the sell of share of agreement with Atty. Lewis supervising them.

Savannah was asked by Vice-President Linda to stay behind so that they can discuss their welcoming party for the new president. Savannah must be there since she knew all the upcoming schedule of Travis.

"When will you visit the orphanage?" Atty. Lewis asked them after signing the contract.

"We'll visit them this afternoon so that we can send the money over as well." Jillyanna answered him.

"I see. That's good to know. But don't tire yourself so much. Dr. Sweden told me that you need to be in good condition for the operation in the future." Atty. Lewis stated.

"Thank you Atty. I will always take care of myself. Plus my husband always take care of me so I don't really have a problem." Jillyanna didn't forget in brown nosing her husband who was sitting beside her.

Travis could only chuckle at her statement and smile at Atty. Lewis.
