Chapter 126 - start of D-Day

[Start of D-DAY]

The Yue International Enterprise was still hectic as it is. Although the banquet will be held later tonight, the company continued with its normal operation.

"I still don't know what to wear tonight."

"What? Don't you know a lot of socialites will be attending? It's our chance to meet those elite men!"

"OMG! I'm so excited! This is once in a lifetime moment for us commoners!"

"Well, I think our chairwoman isn't that bad?"

Each employees gossip about their outfits and their opinion about tonight's event. Some are excited, while some are anxious at the same time. After all, it's rare that they are invited to this kind of occasion. Moreover, aside from that, it is obviously grand, there is really not necessary to invite everyone to celebrate the new leader of the Yue International Enterprise.

Normally, with this kind of occasion, only those influential associates, business partners, and the press are invited. Alas, Seraphina actually permits everyone to attend with her accession of the throne.

[Inside George Yue's office]

"Sir, is it true that Chairman has been hospitalized?"

"Then, his shares … did he gave everything to that girl?"

"Also, why is she inviting everyone? Such a waste of money and resources!"

"This girl really thinks everything is a game!"

George Yue's face was grave because of the news. Although he knew that Sebastian Yue was ill, he did underestimate the Oldman Yue for recklessly transferring all his shares to Seraphina and not a single percent was given to him. Clenching his hand into a fist, he slams the small table surrounded by his minions.

"Quiet!" George Yue burst in anger causing the constant prattle of the few boards of directors present to halt.

"He did really dare! That old man! He--" Just as he was spouting his rage, his office door was abruptly slammed open -- revealing Seraphina.

"Good morning old foxes!" Seraphina greeted with a bright smile on her face. She nonchalantly welcomed herself seeing that the people gathered inside were shocked by her sudden intrusion.

When the few boards of directors came back to their senses, they jolted from their seat and greeted her.

"Young madam!"

"Go -- good morning!"

"Chairwoman, what an unexpected visit! Hehe." They greeted her awkwardly. Her words just now troubled their old hearts as George Yue was throwing a huge fit and was worried that she might have heard their conversation just now.

When George Yue get a hold of himself, he slowly stood up as he gulps his rage. Keeping his pretentious smile, he greeted.

"Niece, what makes you visit me this early?"

"Do I need a reason to visit my nonbiological uncle? Why? Did I disturb your meeting schemes?" still bearing her innocent face, Seraphina emphases her every word as if declaring George Yue of their relation. She continued,

"Take a seat, my humble subjects. I'm afraid your aging knees can't take standing for too long." Sounding as magnanimous as ever, Seraphina permitted them to take their seat.

The old men wearing their business suits warily took her instruction and sat to where they are sitting. However, the office was already packed. Thus, when everyone including George Yue took their seats, she smirks mischievously.

"Eh? So rude, Uncle. Where will I seat? Shouldn't you offer the head seat to me?"

The crowd froze in an instant with her bold statement. This is to say she is flaunting her authority and status to them. How could they forget even for a second that she is now the most powerful individual in this company? Moreover, she is clearly targeting George Yue and tries to humiliate him.

"Oh, I apologize for my rudeness, my niece. I wasn't myself since the news about father just reach me just now and I still couldn't grasp that you are now other Chairwoman. Will you forgive your uncle?" George Yue kept his cool and pretended not to notice her verbal assault. He politely stood from the head seat and gestured -- offering his seat.

"Of course, Uncle." Seraphina gladly sat at the seat where George Yue was originally seating. Now, George Yue was the one standing since there is no seat available. Seeing the situation, one of the director presents in his late 40's same age as George Yue offered his seat.

"Sir, take my seat."

"Oh my, Director He, I think my uncle wants to exercise his knees for a bit since he hadn't workout lately, right Uncle?" Seraphina turned her head towards George Yue who was standing on her side imposing as a good role model assistant.
