The Law of Attraction Chapter 614

At Chua Group Building.

Kenzie took a deep breath before she stepped out of the car to enter the company building. Everyone knew about her but those who saw her enter the building could not help but stare at her. It was because they were used to seeing her visit in her casual outfits but this time, she entered in a sophisticated dress that carried a corporate touch.

‘What is going on?’ Some murmured among themselves after noticing Executive Assistant Cris follow Kenzie from behind along with her bodyguards.

Meanwhile, inside the meeting room, the board members arrived early and were already seated. Lenny had a wide smile on her face as she greeted everyone. She was confident that the majority of the members would be on her side and would appoint her son as the CEO. That was her purpose for this meeting as it had already been six weeks since her brother-in-law was missing from action to do his duty as the CEO.

“We should start the meeting since everyone is already here,” Mr. Tak initiated, and everyone present inside agreed with him, thinking that Kenzie might have backed out. He still could not forget how cunning the girl was, threatening him like that.

‘Who does she think she is?!’ Mr. Tak scolded her inwardly.

“What about the Chairman?” one of the members asked.

“He had approved this meeting as you are all aware of it, but unfortunately he is not able to attend it this time. He’s on a vacation so he could not come,” Lenny answered, not noticing how some of the members gulped in nervousness. They were the same people with whom Kenzie had already confidentially talked to.

“Let’s start the meeting,” she authoritatively instructed. She was automatically in charge since she was the vice-chairman.

“We all know that Chairman Jack Chua’s health is no longer stable given his age. He consented to this meeting and allowed us to nominate and appoint a capable person for the CEO position to replace him. Obviously, that person must have the majority of votes from the board members.

His daughter, my niece, also confirmed that my brother-in-law would love to continue his vacation and take rest more often thus, I think it’s best that we nominate a new candidate for the CEO position,” she strongly suggested as her eyes landed on one of the board members.

“Yes, I agree with the Vice-Chairman. I nominate our COO Brix Chua for the position,” Mr. Tak quickly suggested, rejoicing that Kenzie was still not around.

“Are there any other names?” Lenny asked and no one dared to speak. She had a satisfying smile that everyone seemed to be in agreement with it.

She was about to say more when the door suddenly opened. Everyone looked surprised when the only heiress of Chua Group entered with her beautiful smile.

“Hello everyone. How come the board meeting started early? I’m not late am I?” Kenzie nonchalantly commented with her usual sweet smile, looking at the clock. “It’s stillfive minutes before nine. Wasn’t the meeting supposed to be at nine?” she casually added, still smiling. 

“Kenzie? What are you doing here?” Lenny burst in shock.

“What else Auntie? Of course, I’m here to attend the meeting since I’m also a part of the board. I’m the new Chairperson so I should be present during the meeting,” she declared with a wink and signaled Chris to show everyone the signed contract, transfer of shares, and appointment letter from her one and only father, the former Chairman of Chua Group.

“I believe that should be my seat Auntie,” she said, pointing at the Chairman’s seat where her Aunt Lenny was shamelessly seated.

Lenny snatched the documents from Chris and her grip tightened around it as she confirmed it. She stood up and walked back to her assigned seat.

She looked at the board members and her face darkened, after seeing everyone in the room trying to avoid her eyes.

Kenzie comfortably sat on her father’s chair and said, “Auntie, please take your seat now. The announcement was too sudden so I’m sure you’re all taken aback. But then father had already decided to transfer everything to me so that he could focus more on enjoying a free life without much worry.”

Kenzie looked at everyone before adding, “My father wants me to handle all the matters of the company from this day forward. I know some of you have doubts about my skills but, I believe every one of you should at least give me a chance to prove myself and check how I will manage the company before making an uneducated judgment. Don’t be against it, not until you prove yourself right.”

There was a moment of silence. Some members had already expected this but somehow wished for a miracle and hoped it would not become true since they were apprehensive to hand over such huge responsibilities to her.

“This is not right Kenzie. I mean the CEO position is still vacant…” Kenzie heard her Auntie argue.

A sly smile formed on her lips as she answered, “Precisely Auntie, so we will vote to decide who should be appointed for that position right now.”

“Who are the nominees?” Kenzie asked.

“It’s your cousin Brix,” one of the board members stated.

“Oh, nice. Any other nominees?” she asked.

“I would like to nominate you, our Chairwoman Kenzie Chua for the CEO position as well. I know she is new but, Iet us give her a chance to prove herself before making any rash decisions,” One of the loyal supporters of her father suggested.

She could see how her Auntie’s eyebrows furrowed as she retorted, “Are you saying that we should compromise the credibility of the company and risk the company going bankrupt by giving such an important position to Kenzie? We all know how irresponsible and immature she is! She knows nothing but to spend the fortune she gets from her father!”

Then her aunt Lenny turned to look at her intently as she scoffed, “Kenzie, this is a company with thousands of employees! Your father and everyone here worked hard to make it grow and reach where it is right now! It’s not a plaything for you to play around with whenever you like!!”

Kenzie’s aura suddenly changed. Her face became stern as she met her Aunt Lenny’s gaze and said, “Who said that I’m here to play?”
