Hollywood Zenith

Chapter 93 Behind The Scene Chaos

[A few days ago]

" What? Say that again?"

" The heir will visit Japan in two days."

" Heir? The one everyone is talking about inside the company. Is is final? "

" Yes. Boss told me to tell you. Will you be able to handle it?"

" Don't worry friend. I have to prepare everything, two days right, I have to prepare a grand welcoming ceremony."

" Dumbass, don't rush it. As far as I have heard, he like to be lowkey. It is also not a business trip, so you have to stay out it. Just help him out if any trouble arises."

" Right, right but I have to do something, I can't just sit here when boss's son is visiting the country."

" I know, with that said, I heard he is visiting with few of his friends and sister."

" Sister? You mean there is another one? I heard he is adopted? "

" I don't know, nothing is certain about his background but I would not go digging for it unless I want trouble. "

" Well, do you have any idea? You are responsible for whole Asia's branch. Come on, help out your friend. "

" Hmm, I guess, They purpose is to visit the Disneyland in Chiba. That is the only thing that I could tell you."

" Thank you Boss!"

" Now, you calling me boss. I don't want to hear you disgusting flattery, I am hanging up."

Fulio heard the beep, which indicated the disconnected connection. He put down the phone and began to formulate the plan.

" I at least have to show my face and make an impression. Frank's information will help a lot." He thought.

Several more such calls went out from the Rothschild's main office. The panic ensued for the next two days. Hotels, restaurants, office of Disney park everyone went into a frenzy.

Samuel and his group were unaware of it, He thought the private plane was a big deal, but it was only the tip of the iceberg. His parents went all out with preparation, and several convoys were sent worldwide to monitor the plane's flight path. David also went overboard with security, taking close to a hundred people with him. They will be the ghost that protects Samuel from the shadows.

Only high-level executives of the Japan branch were informed about it.

A typical meeting was happening inside a prime room in Oriental Land Company Headquarters, responsible for running Tokyo Disneyland. President, VP, and others were discussing the end-of-the-year event when a loud knock sounded.

The Chairman looked toward the glass door to find his assistant gasping for air. Tiny sweat droplets are visible across her face and seeing the state of his assistant alarmed him.

She flung open the door, but President asked her first.

" Did something happen? Why are you in hurry?"

Others also noticed her state.

" S-sir, *ho* S-something * huff* came * huff* up * huff* * huff* * huff* ." she struggled.

" Catch your breadth first. We are not running away."

" I-i have s-something important to report."

" Yes, got on with it."

" A major shareholder informed that his son is visiting our park."

" Hah, Is that it? Give them some benefit with some rides and be done with it. It is nothing to work up about. You were behaving like something happened to or Chairman or something worse." He was annoyed that he got worked up for something insignificant.

" But sir, the identity of the person is special. " She panicked; the task was entrusted by the external board director who manages the team responsible for foreign clients.

She came personally to inform the President and was waiting outside for directions.

" Huh? Out with it." President became frustrated; he had to do a lot of work today; Halloween, Christmas, and the new year were approaching. He didn't have time to dilly-dally some rich brat.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman entered the room; she had sharp eyes which looked around and across the room.

" Everyone, except the head of department are excused. Please leave the room. " She shouted.

" What are you doing?" the President said solemnly; although both held similar power inside the company, he was still a few notches above her.

" We don't have much time. Please do as I say for now." She said while staring at her boss. Although, she was going overboard. She had a strong reason for it.

President nodded toward everyone, which was their cue to leave the office. Only a handful of people remained inside the room.

" You better have a pretty good reason for it. I don't like my time being wasted."

" One of the Rothschild is visiting the country. " She said outright.

" Are you sure?" someone asked.

" R-Rothschild, that legendary family?" another voice exclaimed.

" Wait a minute, she said son right? the shareholder's son would be the heir of the family right? " Third one said.

" Did they have a son? How come I never heard of it? " First one asked.

" Idiot, they don't need to inform you! Anyway, when will he be coming? Give me the details." the President shouted, which stopped their erratic discussion.

" We don't have much information, only that there will be few people with him. His itinerary is confidential but they did inform that he will visit the park in three days. What do you want me to do? "

" Hmm, I have to call---" His phone rang, and he proceeded to take it out of his pocket.

He looked at the caller Id, and it was the President. They talked for a few minutes before he disconnected the phone. Others heard a few snippets of their conversation, but the Chairman was mainly talking on the other side of the line.

Looking at his uneasy subordinates he sighed.

" I don't think we would have any problem. We will proceed as Chairman has instructed."

He gave different roles to the marketing team, General Manager, Security department, Guides etc.

" President, Is it really necessary? Are we not going overboard with arrangements? We have several events to prepare next; it will strain several departments, " the youngest among them asked. He was a hard-working person but had little exposure to social hierarchy.

" No, If I have to say we are doing less, but they don't want to overexpose themselves. We would be closing the whole park, even if we suffered few losses."

" W-whole park? why? " he asked.

" Because the Chairman gave his words, Let's just say he is indebted to that family." he said, reminiscing about the past. He was mysterious about it but others decided not to question him.

" Okay listen up people, I want you to keep what we discussed here a secret. Manage your people well and tell that I would double their bonuses this month! " He concluded the meeting with some 'inspirational' words.

The middle-aged woman remained while everyone left the room.

" You worked hard, Husband." she said softly.

" Yeah, You too. I didn't think you would visit me today. I believe you had a meeting before this. How did it go? "

" I don't know. I rushed here as soon as I got the info. See you at home. You looked so cool back earlier." the woman said teasing her husband.

" You noticed only now, I look cool everyday." He said as he held her hand.

" Yeah, I see your assistant changed again. Is that part of your charm too?" She asked.

" w-what, its not what you think. Kira in on maternity leave." He exclaimed.

" Hmm, Is that so? I hope you are telling the truth."

It eased the tension from before but opened a new can of worms. President became unavailable for the next few hours trying to save his ass.

-----------------------------------------------------

[Two days later]

The news broke out that Samuel would not visit the park, but the more shocking news was about where he was staying. It became clear when President received the call from the Imperial household agency on Samuel's behalf.

People worked around the clock to prepare, several security teams had to work together, and staff were given vague excuses to cover the whole thing up. Disney also sent their team to help their company which was a big help. They were given unique code words, which were put on the priority list.

The Chairman also decided to give Samuel and the group excess to the new theme park the company would launch in a few years. Others supported his decision, which will be a valuable lesson for the workers. The new park had a unique theme and was different from other Disneyland worldwide.

The people could relax and take it easy for the day, but another news broke out late evening, another bomb for the organizers. Chairman was informed that several more people would be joining Samuel tomorrow.

Princess Kako, who had yet to make a public appearance, and people from the imperial family. It was sudden news, but Chairman had no say in the matter. Though his company owned the park, it is open to the public, and princess also falls into that category.

As soon as the news broke out inside the company, another frenzy occurred. It was announced that people would be paid overtime today; President also had to stay late at his office. He looked almost lifeless sitting in his office.

" I hope that is the last of the surprises." He thought as he focused on the pile of documents at his table.
