The atmosphere in the office was very tense. The air was so heavy and suffocating that it was hard to breath. Noah clenched his jaws, like a hungry Panther ready to kill someone at this moment. Just looking for the prey "Investigate who is behind all this matter". He ordered Aaron with a threatening glare.
Aaron was scared but working with him for a long time has made him efficient in his work. He is quick to grab the situation, "I have already looked into the matter, Mr. President and the person is an old business partner of your father". He reported excitedly. Some fun was on its way. Even it is always fun to work with Noah and more of it was on its way.
He enjoys every moment of it.
Noah frowned more, his eyebrows knitted together. How can they grow a snake? He really hates the betrayal and the punishment was going to be more severe than ever. He thought of all the possible suspects and only one person came into his mind. He looked at Aaron, "Prepare all the necessary documents, we are going to see him now. I will show him what it feels like to go against me. Let's give them the taste of their own medicine. I want to see the end of it". Noah fisted his hand and banged them on the table loudly Aaron jerked back from the spot. He was surprised by the sudden action by him.
When Aaron cane back to his senses he grinned at the thought. Things were going to be interesting and exciting. He gulped down deliciously as he was becoming a carnivore too.
He started to work effectively and after the day of hard work he gathered all the important and necessary documents and information.
According to the plan in the evening, Noah and Aaron were standing in front of a house. It was not too luxurious nor shabby. A place for the middle class. The small house whose exterior was not eye catching and looked quite old. Of course, if we compare it with his lifestyle it was nothing but a small cat house. Noah glanced at the whole surroundings. Most of the houses were similar to this one. The area was shabby with narrow roads. He was surprised by the fact that Aaron drove the Bentley in these small streets. After taking the note of everything carefully he said, "Let's go".
Aaron rang the bell at the command and waited patiently till the door was opened by a middle aged man. The man opened the door with disdain and the frowns were visible at his wrinkled face. "Who came at this hour…..?" He tried to scare the next party but when he saw who he was.... the rest of the words were stuck in his throat. He forgot to speak and he could not act as he wanted to. Suddenly, he broke into the cold sweat.
Noah was looking at him with the signature grin. That made him more demonic. It was going to be a one sided battle. Then, why mess with him?
He shouldn't have such guts from the start.
"I hope I don't have to introduce myself". Noah spoke with a mysterious smile on his face and the sarcasm was clearly visible in his tone.
Noah waited for him to react but he does not have time to waste on such low class people. He said in the next second, "Won't you invite me inside?" Noah tried to get the peak of the house behind him.
The old man did not expect to be caught so soon by him. He knew things were going to be messy and the purpose of Noah's arrival was clear too. Noah was like a grim reaper who is standing on the door to take them away from this world to somewhere unknown. This thought made him shrug.
Noah raised an eyebrow because he was still not giving him the way. When the old man caught a glimpse of him, even though he does not want to let him in, he stepped aside to give him some space against the will and lead them to the inside of the house. Noah elegantly sat in the living room.
The interior of the house was totally different from the exterior. It looked so luxurious and spacious. Noah sensed something off. It was like they are trying to hide from the world and they are wearing the mask of poverty to hide the true selves.
This does not concern him. Whatever they are up to... he is not interested. He only cares about his business as he will never allow an outsider to ruin the hard work of all the life of Mr. Adam and the hard work of his youth. He spent many sleepless nights to get the top position and maintaining it is even tougher.
The man was reluctant to ask him anything first or to start a conversation with a devil. One wrong word.... and there we go. The Panther will be out of control. Aaron looked at the man upside down and shook his head in pity.
Noah rubbed his hands together and asked in the low voice. It was low and deeper which rang in the thin air for a long period of time. "Why are you messing with stocks?" he chased to the point. "You must know, if you are thinking of me as a kid, and if you think of me as an easy target then you are living in an imagination." His threats were clear too.
No no, he does not make him an easy target. If he did... then why would he be so afraid of him? The old man just thought that he would not find out till the end of the game. But how did the plan be ruined this early? It was totally unexpected, draining and destroying.
No matter whatever it is the man also knows, how to play with the cards. He was not going to throw away the joker this early. "How are you so sure that I am behind it?" He was also not going to easily give up. He retorted back. But the tremble in the voice was not neglected by Aaron and Noah and even he himself felt it.
'Gosh... what the fuck!!!!' The man cursed in mind.
Noah smirked, "I don't need to prove. Your motives are clear to me". Why the hell should he prove to him that he is behind all the mess in Whites corporations?
Secondly, who is he trying to challenge?
Before the man could reply, the door of the room flung open and someone they are already familiar with, came. She felt the earth moving beneath her feet and her jaws dropped. The car that was parked outside was enough to tell her who the guest was. That's why in a hurry she came inside the house.
Aaron was surprised. What was happening here?
After still being so competent, a loophole was left by Aaron.
Why is Mia here? But Noah was quick to access the situation, "So, this is who you are". His single sentence blew up the rest of their plans.
"Now, what revenge are you trying to take? You went bankrupt in the past because you were incompetent, still we gave you enough compensation to have a good life. I have never seen a person as ungrateful as you in my whole life."
Mia's father was a business partner of Adam Whites. But he was scammed and his business went bankrupt. Even though Adam stopped him from making a hasty investment. He still did that and faced unbearable consequences and lost everything due to stubborness. It was not their fault but still they compensated him. But their greedy instincts and thirst could not be quenched and Mia started to follow him. She wanted to get more and more.
When Noah took admission in the small school she followed him all the way there. When no one knew him, she knew who he is. She was aware of his true self. Mia would follow him and like a teenager, it took him a moment to fall for her innocent face. Now when he thinks about that time. It was not love. He just got a companion in a new environment. Using his name, she got more money from his family in order to break up with him. Now, all the pieces of the puzzle were in place. The riddle was solved. The reason why Esme hated her, Noah knows it.
"If you will continue to do such a despicable thing, then be ready to pay a visit to a jail. I have all the evidence of your embezzlement, illegal gambling and trade. Whatever you are doing I am keeping a close eye. Don't even dare to think that you can fool me." They were shocked. How he came to know about their illegal business? "And you…" he pointed his index finger at Mia, "withdraw yourself quietly from the project within a week. Otherwise I will kick you out by myself." His company was not weak that an outsider can harm it or that could waver with a single blow. The loss he faced right now was like a drop of water in an ocean. If they want him to go penniless maybe they will have to wait for generations to be able to see such a day.
"Please…." Mia was going to say something but he stopped her and did not waste another second there. That was enough to scare them away. He is sure they will bother anymore unless they want to vanish from the earth.
Whenever he goes to threaten someone, he is always savage. Aaron was impressed by his calmness and his decision making abilities.
Finally all the thorns were pulled out of his way. He took a deep breath, a relaxing one and closed his eyes.
