Chapter 583 - banquet 1
As her stomach started to be seen she started being very cautious about her dresses especially when she is the one in spotlight.
A month before, her bump use to look like it is just a fat layer, but now, if one give attention to her side view they will surely find out that she is pregnant.
That is the exact reason they decided to make this a last public appearance of her till she gives birth.
In the span of time when she is waiting for Scott to come back, they already helped her into a comfortable and classy dress. It is modern and at the same time simple and formal.
"Thank you" Jean politely thanked them. If she would have wore her usual dresses her bump would have been more seen.
At the same time Scott entered their room. Their plan to have a boy's day out took a U turn and they unexpectedly met Nathan in middle. He is going to the main base to look into something and he happens to come to the same fun club to meet a person.
Even Scott tagged along with him and they together went to main base. That is the reason he is little exhausted and stressed.
The more he got to know about the Braxton's and their history he couldn't help but worry…
"Where have you been? I was waiting for you" Jean pouted as soon as she saw her husband entering their room.
Scott didn't answer her but looked at her from top to bottom. He is seeing her dress…
"How am I looking? Is everything fine…no one can find about my pregnancy, right?" Jean asked little hurriedly.
"Hmm….no one can find about it honey but I didn't like your dress" Scott said.
"Why?" Jean pouted.
"You look good when our baby bump is seen. You look s.e.xy like that" Scott chuckled.
Jean rolled her eyes and shook her head. "He is like that. Don't mind him" she said to her stylists.
Scott chuckled and went inside to get ready.
This might be his last time to spend some free time. After this week he has to take over the control of his company as well as position as one of the four leaders.
....
At evening….
The whole premises of the new head quarters of INA is bustling with reporters and photographers. Many delegates and famous personalities from the country are making their entry.
All of them are equally excited to see the real CEO of INA. And they are hopeful that they can have a partnership with it.
Even Mr. and Mrs. Summers attended the banquet making others shock.
There is an enough troll against them and their connection with Helen. But still they opted to come…
It only increased the excitement because they couldn't help but feel extreme anticipation. There is a big drama ahead…
After them, Helen's (Nathan's family) and Black's (Raymond's family) attended it. Though they didn't speak about it, most of them understood that they are here to support Helen and Shawn.
It made them remember the banquet thrown by Grey's. These powerful families attended it to support Jean. Now, it is Helen.
Does that mean Helen and Shawn are serious about their relationship?
Meanwhile, when others are immersed in thinking about all this, Shawn and Helen made their entry and the venue erupted with whispers and questions from the reporters.
But the bodyguards stood like a barrier protecting the couple from any unpleasant whip like comments.
"You will get your answers so soon" Shawn said just before they could enter the double doors that would lead them to the special stairs.
Jean and Scott are already inside the building. They came inside from the special bas.e.m.e.nt which is connected to the next building. It is one of the secret pass ways Jean designed for her company.
Evan (the vice CEO) has long back arrived and is immersed in looking into the last time arrangements.
"Helen will go first" He said for the hundredth time. This is the first time his friend will be giving her presentation as the CEO of INA…and he is excited.
After all, this is the time he was waiting since long. If Jean reveals her identity, the attention on him will be diverted to her.
He can enjoy some quality time with his lover…
...
At almost eight at the night, at last the banquet started…
Everyone of them couldn't help but get astonished and surprised by the new headquarters. It is too extravagant and modern that they felt like they are in new era.
They knew how INA is…
It is one of the most disciplined and well managed company. It has very strict norms to follow and even getting into the company is lot difficult.
Getting into it through backdoor is next to impossible because none of the employees nor executives will dare to play politics. Even the directors and share holders of the company are very friendly and polite to each other
Unlike many companies which have internal rifts, this company has the best directors who prefer unity among themselves. The exact reason for this is...none of them entered the position because of their background or influence.
Their positions are purely allotted based on their hard work, loyalty and smartness.
After finding out how the company works, everyone is stunned to their core. The inner circle of the company should be very sincere and hardworking to make it reach this level…
Meanwhile, to their surprise even Valdez's, Grey's were also present, along with them is Richards family which is almost as powerful as Summers family in country X.
