Chapter 53 - THE CEO!

"Good Afternoon Everybody;" he greeted the audience with a pleasant smile.

Their was a loud cheer from the audience, making Rhehan's grin wider.

"Ahh! Such wonderful reaction. I am overwhelmed", he added gracefully.

The audience was now silent so as to hear carefully every precious word being spoken by the legend.

"It is indeed overwhelming to have such reaction from the audience. Today I realised the most important thing in my life. A thing which I had learnt long back, but was made to realise again, this evening", he added, not reducing the length of his grin.

The audience assumed that Rhehan was indeed over- excited by the performances and thus wanted to encourage the show organizers. Thus, all the show organizers were vastly excited at Rhehan's sudden decision to address the audience. The show was now already a huge success for them.

"I am a strong, influential man, thus, I recieve a warm welcome from you all. If suddenly, I trip down from the stage at this moment, you all will rush to help me. But just few minutes back a lady, who was standing helplessly on the stage because of a slight misfortune was rebuked by you all like anything. She is one of nation's most successful designers who imparted her trust in this event, but nobody came forward to help her! I am rather dissappointed at the show organizers, media and the audience for being so ruthless!!! So, as the CEO of Excel Corporation, I hereby take back all my company's share-holdings and investments from Loraine International, on the basis of unprofessional behaviour", he said trying to sound very casual.

A loud gasp was heard from the audience, which was finding it hard to digest his words. Rhehan further continued with his remaining declaration.

"So, they will have to compensate the price of 47% of shares, plus 700 million dollars investment made by us. I believe other investors would be equally unwilling to invest in such an unprofessional company. A company that tries to retain its share holding or investment in Loraine, shall have to part ways with Excel Corporations. Also, any news channel or media person who tries to cover the incident of the girl, will be considered an enemy by Excel Corporations. I, hereby declare Loraine Fashion week closed as the company is now officially in heavy loans. You all may now proceed towards the exit door. Thank you," he concluded, still maintaining his wide grin.

The audience was dead-shocked, not knowing what to do next. There was pin drop silence in the auditorium.
