Chapter 107 107
The door opened and Alexa stepped in, quickly going to Liam's room first, her eyes going through the small open space in the door.
She heard a groan and she almost went it, but she suddenly stopped, her eyes widening. He was taking steps, his hands so tight on the trainer, his face clenched in a tight agonizing frown. It was obvious he was in pain, but he had stood up. It was one thing she hadn't expected. Iren came once a week and when he comes this time, she'll have the best news to give to him.
Her mouth released a happy gasp and she immediately placed her palm over it so he wouldn't here her.
Liam's eyes moved towards the door but he didn't notice her there, so he kept on going, more groans escaping from his lips. But she saw it, a step and two, then three. He was healing up. Her chest heaved up and down as she moved away from the door, unable to contain her excitement. She quickly opened her door silently and stepped into her room, pushing her face on the pillow as she let out a happy scream.
"He isn't here..it is simple. Ever since we heard him collect a bullet for that woman, Liam has been lackadaisical in his dealings!"
"Glamour Holdings isn't a company to he easily trifled with. Even if his father is managing it for a while, it doesn't matter. Let us cast a vote and take him off."
"You can't be unreasonable. Liam Jordans had been handling this company well and even with his months of absence, the company is still going well, because of the procedures which he has put in place. Don't you get it? He is still the best for the company."
"Shut up! What do you even know? As long as the CEO is not available, any company is just a mess. Do you know how large Glamour Holdings is to be playing around with it? So we sit here doing the work while he is somewhere hiding? Do we even have proof that Liam is alive!?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you insinuating that Liam might be dead?"
"Even the media has not caught him mistakenly on camera for the past two months and few weeks. So you think he is really still alive after collecting a bullet in his back?"
"You are going to lose your shares after slandering him this way."
"Shut up. I'm not even saying anyone should come out. At least, here is Reed Miller. They are family, let him at least be the acting CEO for now."
Eugene slipped out of the heating hall room where all the noise and arguments came from, his phone rang in his pocket and he sighed, staring at the phone.
"Oh my..." He said immediately he saw the caller ID and he immediately picked up, "Sir?"
"Is Liam there already? It's been thirty minutes since the meeting should have started." Miller's voice resounded in his ears and Eugene twitched his lips.
"I don't think the boss is coming, sir."
"If he doesn't come in the next five minutes, make a conference call with me. I'm going to give an order for Reed to take over the company immediately." Miller said angrily, his voice harsh as he ended the call furiously.
"I..." Eugene sighed, a shiver running down his spine as he stared at the phone. He blinked slowly and went inside to wait, constantly looking at the time.
Five minutes later and immediately Miller requested a conference call which every of the shareholders picked up immediately. As he was still the chairman of the group, no one would dare to go against him or even Liam for that matter, but knowing Miller that he hated the behavior which Liam presented now made every one of them run their mouth.
"Liam is not yet here" Miller sounded disappointed, his face red with anger.
"From the past months, it can be said that Liam Jordans has been treating the company really badly, which under my watch would not stand. I gave him his last chance and he rejected it, which simply means that he is no longer interested in managing Glamour Holdings and it's affiliates companies under it. I have hereby decreed that Reed Miller would tak-"
"You didn't tell me how impatient you were, father. Rushing to give my position to someone else?" The door was suddenly opened and Liam cut them short, as he stepped in slowly, his legs showing a limp in his movement as his eyes ran around everyone in the room.
"For seven years, I have been the person managing the company, I think that it is the right time for you to step down, even as the chairman of this organization." He stated.
A smirk went up Miller's lips as he stared at his son in amusement, "You want me to step down?"
"Yes. It's time you step down from your position, Mr Jordans Miller." Liam smirked.
"And....who would take it up?" Miller asked.
"Everyone here knows who. You should hand it over to me, shouldn't he?" Liam observed the reaction of every of the members in the hall. None of them dared to make a single sound. They'd not expected Liam to appear out of the blue and definitely not in that manner. Their chests heaved up and down in surprise.
"Wow, Liam Jordans. You managed to get everyone not to oppose. Make your choice now, you have the right to vote if Liam is really worthy of taking the chairman of Glamour Holdings position."
"There will be a vote now." Eugene immediately got the scope and said quickly, making the box go round.
The member cleared their throats as they started writing their choices in papers and throwing it in. Liam took his seat calmly, his hands on his laps as he placed his walking stick beside the table. He still needed it since his legs hurt a lot. Truth be told, his wheel chair was right outside as he couldn't walk long distances yet.
The counting started with a "No!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
More words that drifted past his ears without an intention to rest in his head and Liam stared directly at the man counting till the final word.
"64 yay and 36 nay. Officially, Mr Jordans won the vote." He announced and Liam stared at his father.
