Chapter 182 - Company's Issue

Five days had passed after the burial of Grandma Elysa. Selene returned to school and Eros was accompanying her in his cupid form.

She felt a little bit better now compared to before. Eros's presence and his advice helped Selene in cheering her up.

She focused her attention on her studies while Renz became busy with the company issue. They haven't talked yet. Selene had no plan of confronting him about the video.

Renz was still clueless that Selene already knew what happened during his bachelor party. 

He had no time to talk to Selene because the moment he returned to the company, he received various concerns. A competitor stole their clients and investors.

They were about to close the deal with them when suddenly they changed their mind and backed out. They chose another company to sign a contract with them.

Because of this, they had a shortage of funding for their new project. Renz was now trying his best to recover their losses.

With Grandma Elysa's passing, the stocks of the Lockhart Enterprise went down and became unstable. The management became busy solving the problem.

The board members and directors were concerned because the heiress of the Lockhart Enterprise was still a college student.

They wondered if Selene could manage the company. If not for Renz and Chou's Family's support, they wouldn't allow Selene to take over the CEO position.

The CEO position was still reserved for her. The company was being managed by an acting CEO as of now as they were still preparing Selene for taking over the position.

Some board of members and directors were now complaining about this set-up. When Grandma Elysa died, a group of directors conspired to raise the issue.

They wanted to appoint a new CEO for the Lockhart Enterprise. They didn't want to wait for Selene to become ready. Relying on an acting CEO would not be helpful to the company.

They had a person in mind whom they thought would be suitable for the CEO position. 

Since Renz was busy with the Star Corp's matter, the people who were against Selene grabbed the opportunity to call for an emergency board meeting in the next two days.

Their agenda was to revoke the decision of waiting for Selene to take over the CEO position until she got ready. They wanted to appoint a new CEO.

Everything was going according to Mr. M's plan. His strategy worked, triggering the other board members and directors to take action.

The company was having trouble. With this, they needed a much more reliable leader who could manage the company, not a 19-year-old college student.

Selene just arrived at Anderson Family Mansion when Aunt Ling informed her that she had a visitor.

"Selene, Mr. Clarence Chin came to see you. He is waiting for you in the living room."

Selene didn't expect that he would visit her today.

"Okay, Aunt Ling. Can you prepare a snack for us?"

"Yes, dear. I'm gonna go to the kitchen now and make snacks for both of you," Aunt Ling said before leaving Selene.

"Who is Clarence Chin?" Eros asked Selene. He was in his cupid form so only Selene could hear and see him right now.

"He is my parent's right-hand man, currently the one acting as CEO of our company. You met Uncle Clarence during Grandma's funeral."

"Oh, I forgot about him," Eros responded, scratching his face.

Selene just smiled at Eros. They proceeded to the living room to meet Clarence.

Selene greeted him politely as soon as she reached his spot.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Selene asked him as they sat down.

"There is something you need to know. The company is not doing well lately. The board members and other directors called for an emergency meeting two days from now."

"Selene, they are trying to oust you as the CEO of the company. They planned on appointing a new CEO. They are now showing their fangs, targeting your position."

Selene was taken aback when she heard that. But she had already expected this. In her previous life, some people were trying to scheme against her just to take over the company.

She was aware of the power struggle within the company. Thanks to Renz and the Chou Family, she was able to keep her position.

"I came here to tell you this personally. I am also planning to inform Renz but I learned that he was busy resolving the company issue of the Star Corp."

Complex emotions flashed through her eyes when she heard that.

"Uncle, don't tell Renz about this. I don't want to hassle him with my own problems. Let me handle this. I will attend the meeting and prove to them that I have the right to keep my position. I will show them that I deserve it," Selene said, feeling determined.

She didn't want to rely on Renz or be indebted to him. She wanted to be independent. 

She already learned how to manage the company in her previous life. She was confident that she would be able to solve this problem on her own.

Clarence smiled after seeing the determination in her eyes. He believed that Selene could do it. 

"Okay, I understand. If you need my help, I am just here for you. I will support you." 

He promised Selene's parents that he would assist and help Selene in managing the company. He would not allow others to take the company away from the true heiress.

"Thanks, Uncle. I think I am ready to do my job as the CEO of Lockhart Enterprise. I will show them my capability."

Clarence chuckled seeing Selene's enthusiasm. He knew that Selene wanted to protect the company against those greedy men. 

The company was so important to Selene because of her parents. Her parents established this company not only for their family but to help people in need.

"Uncle, can you send me the files about our company's financial reports, recent activities and projects. I will look into them tonight."

"Okay, Ma'am. I will do that!"
