Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-59

Around ten o'clock in the morning, the press conference ended and Maira stayed a little longer to introduce the newest boss to everyone. The women in the company went crazy. A young woman of 19 years with dark hair and light brown eyes was the one who threw herself at him the most. She was very beautiful, her curves were perfect, but he showed no reaction and did not give her hope.

The girl was called Renata. She giggled awkwardly, but in her heart, she thought he was just nervous because it was his first day at the company.

'Seriously, could this girl be any more brazen and unashamed?' Ingrid rolled her eyes seeing this.

After having Luan meet all the employees and be introduced to them, Maira said, "Son, I am going home with Catharina and Cristina. Mm... we still need to get stronger. Now the company will be in your hands. Do your best."

She hugged her son and kissed his forehead before entering the elevator. After picking up Cristina and Catharina, Maira took the elevator again and left.

Luan went to his mother's old office and organized it to his liking. Ingrid was in the front room of his.

Ingrid rearranged all the paperwork for the day, and she made two espressos from the coffee machine. Ingrid then walked back to Luan's office. She left his coffee on the table while Luan typed something on the computer. Ingrid was impressed; Luan's fingers seemed like magic, typing so fast, it looked like he had more than two hands.

As he was busy, she sat on her chair and remained silent.

"You can talk about today's schedule," Without looking at her, Luan spoke.

"We have a meeting now with the executives, lunch with a company, and an afternoon meeting with suppliers, partners, and investors," Ingrid replied.

Seeing that he had stopped typing and got up, Ingrid said, getting up, "Our day will be full."

She felt a little nervous since it was the first time she had had so much responsibility, but she was also full of courage and willpower, wanting to do a good job.

- Meeting room -

All executive employees were feeling anxious in Luan's presence. What made them afraid was his indifferent expression and oppressive aura that he gave off, making it difficult for them to breathe. This was not intentional; Luan was like that when he was dealing with serious matters. Automatically, his aura would change and become more powerful, and for ordinary people, it could be difficult to stay in his presence.

Ingrid discreetly nudged him and whispered something, and then Luan realized his mistake and retracted his aura. A wave of involuntary sigh resounded. Thanks to that, the executives were able to talk and discuss about the company's projects and proposals.

Luan accepted and rejected many proposals with a risk margin and also said his opinion on each proposal. At first, the executives were skeptical, but little by little, they were enchanted by the genius of Luan Dimas. However, there were some who thought that everything was decorated text and not Luan's merit, but the thoughts of Maira Dimas.

In the afternoon, there was a meeting with partners and investors. As it was the first day, Luan Dimas just gave them some of his ideas about the projects and proposals and explained them in a very easy way. But upon hearing such theories, all these companions only heard him as if they were drunk and astonished, since there were so many promising proposals and projects.

After hearing what he said, a handsome young man who was a partner was almost drooling while looking at Ingrid and asking some questions related to the company's projects.

However, it made the meeting room temperature cool, and everyone started shaking from head to toe. The pressure Luan was causing was even worse than when he had been in the meeting with the executives.

It was okay if the man had wanted to talk about what he didn't understand about the company, but it was a different story if the main objective was to flirt with Luan's girlfriend.

The other, more experienced partners and investors understood this, and they knew it was all the fault of this young man who kept asking questions while drooling, looking at Ingrid. They tried to alert him, but it was in vain.

The moment the questions became personal, Ingrid replied, "Please stop asking personal questions. I am not here for a wedding interview. If it is not related to the company, do not talk to me."

"Girl... I was just trying to be nice, but it seems that you don't know how to recognize the fair gentleman that I am. Why, I wanted to make you more comfortable, taking into account that it seems to be your first day, and yet, you have the courage to criticize me?" Hearing what Ingrid said, the hot-tempered young man was agitated. He was never so directly rejected, and moreover, it was by a "simple" secretary.

'Hmph! That bitch. When she became the new CEO's secretary, did she let it go to her head?' The boy with short blond hair and green eyes, named Stefan, thought angrily. He vowed to take revenge later; he just did nothing, because he knew he couldn't offend the new CEO. However, everything would change if he did something outside the company...

"If that's all, let's end this meeting." Luan got up and looked at the young man named Stefan as if he wanted to remember the boy's face, before leaving the room with Ingrid.

The moment Luan left, the partners and investors looked at Stefan and sighed. It was very clear to the rest of them that there was something between CEO Luan Dimas and his personal secretary. Everything was going very well, better than they expected, but this lustful boy had to screw it all up...

"Excuse me, Luan, I acted hastily..." Ingrid said outside the meeting room, "I just couldn't take that annoying kid anymore."

"Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong," Luan said softly and kissed her forehead. Soon after, a strange glow passed through his red eyes. Nobody else knew what he was thinking.

Luan returned to his office, and Ingrid stayed in hers. In his room, Luan started to prepare some things, as well as set his aim toward a certain Contractor...

The rest of the day went smoothly. When the day ended, Ingrid and Luan took a taxi to leave.

"Welcome back!" Maira received them with a gentle smile.

"I'm home," Luan replied.

When she saw Maira still looking at her, Ingrid replied shyly, "I'm home..."

"Hehe. That's better." Maira let out a gentle laugh and said, "You must both be tired. Go take a shower, then go down to dinner. I'm having a banquet to celebrate today."

"Okay, mom. I look forward to it since your food is always the most delicious," Luan said, full of praise.

Maira laughed happily hearing this, but huffed and feigned anger, "Stop trying to flatter me, and go take a shower soon."

"En." Luan nodded and went up the stairs.

Maira, seeing her son going up the stairs, shook her head and murmured happily to herself, "That boy..."

"I'm going, too." Ingrid was silent until she spoke.
