Chapter 297 - Lucas's Cabin Snatched!

Next morning

When Olivia reached up to the office, all she saw was the number of cars outside the building.

It was unusual since there wasn't one car yet three, parked behind one another. 'But who allowed this? Lucas never likes this..' with her furrowed brows, she walked on her heels inside.

Reaching up to the reception, the silence was already replaced with chaos. People weren't in their seats, rather, gossiping and mumbling among themselves.

The entire scene made her confused when she straightaway went to the reception where the receptionist looked at her, "Good morning Miss Olivia…"

"Good morning to you as well but..what is happening this morning? Why is everyone not working but rather talking?"? Olivia asked with a slightly confusing written face.

"Well..Miss. Olivia, I guess you haven't read the circular that floated on our mails this morning..", hearing this, Olivia frowned. The line on her forehead deepened, "Which message are you talking about?"

"Regarding the position of the CEO and the decision-maker.."

The words were already making her heartbeat at an erratic speed. 'Last night, Lucas did say that something will happen today..so is this the same?'

She can't believe any news that traveled to her ears until last night regarding any changes in the company at all.

"About what?"

"I guess..you should see your mail first thing now.." the receptionist said to which Olivia snapped at her with her harsh tone, "Just tell me straightforwardly!"

Before the lady could have answered Olivia's words, the near employee's words entered her ears,? "See, looks like the man is actually insulting the finance manager.."

"I heard the same. Looks like the man was working for only Lucas sir and wasn't doing his work properly. This man looks a little bit strict.."

"Isn't Lucas also strict?" the other lady said, when the other one shook her head, 'He is also strict but this man.…. Seems short-tempered. I don't know, is this man's face and it was as if the devil had come on the earth himself.."

All the statements made Olivia even more confused. What was actually happening at this point?

Her grip on her files tightened when she hugged her bag really tight. Biting her lower lip, her eyes were in a daze when she subconsciously looked at the ladies and walked closer to them.

"What are you both saying? Devil? I guess you aren't paid to gossip around.."

As her cold and aloof tone was heard, both the employees turned around to look after frozen expressions, already sending the chills down her spine.

"W-We are really sorry." At this point, both of them walked to their seats to do their respective work. Her authority wasn't challenged and they had no wish to come in the bad list of their CEO!

With her eyes glaring at the other employees too, she made her way straight to the cabin of Lucas in the hope to see him and know what had happened to him.

But what greeted her was the sight of the people at the entrance of his door. 'What shit is taking place today...first in the lobby and nowhere..' she wasn't sure herself but then, stepping closer, she asked one of the ladies.

"umm..Is Lucas sir not in the cabin?" Since she arrived late, it seems like at least others would have an idea about the situation.

The lady shook her head when she replied back, "Sir's… cabin.. has changed, Ms. Olivia. We thought you must be aware of this..."

Aware? Cabin change?!?! Olivia's eyes widened in shock. But she hid it before anyone else could have taken notice of the same. Coughing lightly she asked as if she knew this, "I knew that Lucas is changing his cabin but..he said that his base there will be some construction work.."

"I think you heard wrong then. Today, another man has stepped into our office and said that he is the CEO as well, alongside Lucas sir. His name is said to be James, and I heard..he is also Johnson.."

James?! James Johnsons?!!?

The person… whose name is actually hated by none other than but in the entire Johnson family!?! The same man's mother who has the power to question Amara's status and title!?

At this point, Olivia needed to take the support of the wall behind her. Taking a few steps back in surprise, her back touched the cold surface of the walls. "Y...You aren't kidding right?"

"Why will I? I just told you what we all saw. Right now, Mr. James has chosen the finance manager and is lecturing him for making so many mistakes already.."

The comment sent a big blow to her mind. At the stage of her life, when she is almost one step closer to having her things, the typhoon appears.

Is this the same man whose name she has heard of before? Olivia urged God that this isn't the same person, whom she had heard the rumor about.

Without sparing a glance to the lady anymore, Olivia asked the other people about Lucas's current location to make her way to nowhere else but in the conference room.

It was all empty with no one's presence except Lucas, who had his hand against his head. She came across him, only to find him lonely as if a deadly aura spreaded around him.

"Lucas…"

As if hearing her voice brought him out of a daze he slightly nodded his head. "So you heard it all.. the gossips and mumbling about the disturbance caused already…"

"I-I did. What is this even going on…" Olivia asked, much anticipated when she closed the door behind her to take a seat near his chair. "James.. Johnson has appeared."

Lucas nodded his head with a frustrated look that craved over his head.

"The fucking illegitimate son of my late father who..? the father who has gone himself to heaven yet left two people as my threat."
