Rise Of The Disgraced Heir
Chapter 48 - 48
When they got to the assistants' office, Ian and Camilla were surprised to find that the huge office had changed completely.
There were now three rooms and a hallway between them, it seemed like it was now bigger as well, probably absorbing one of the adjacent meeting rooms.
"Ah, here." Jake said as he pointed at the room at the end of the hall, by the looks of it, it was the biggest one out of the three.
Camilla and Ian glanced around as they saw their names written on silver plaques above each of the two smaller rooms.
"I guess we have our own offices now." Ian said with a shrug as they followed Jake down the hall.
Jake stopped and knocked on the door, just like the other two, this one had a plaque with Marco's name on it. He waited till they heard Marco's voice call out, telling them to come in.
"I got your kids back." Jake teased as they walked into the newly renovated office.
"Good." Marco said without lifting his head from the documents he was reading.
Marco's old desk and furniture were moved into this room, it seemed to be almost the same size as the hallway and two smaller offices. Clearly as the CEO's personal assistant he was provided with more work space.
Jake shook his head as he noticed how focused Marco was with his work, he walked over and sat casually on the couch.
When he noticed that Ian and Camilla had remained standing by the door, Jake waved them over, telling them to take a seat.
An awkward silence enveloped the room as Marco continued to study the document in front of him, occasionally writing down notes.
After a while Marco sighed and finally placed the document down and turned his attention to Ian, Camilla, and Jake.
"Did you get surprised?" Marco asked with a smile. "They work really fast here, unfortunately I had to work in Mr. Reyes' office the whole day and I barely got any work done."
"Did he ask you about you know who again?" Jake asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I swear the closer the date comes to his return, the more eager you uncle becomes." Marco said, shaking his head.
"Who?" Ian asked as he gave a curious glance to both men.
"Your future boss." Marco said with a laugh. "Mr. Reyes is anxious to have him come back."
"Where is he anyway?" Camilla asked.
"Confidential, we can't tell you. But trust me, you'll be the first to know when he is back." Jake said with a grin.
"Ian, do you mind preparing coffee for us?" Marco asked as he pointed to the coffee machine that was neatly placed on the side. "Don't worry, I already had someone clean it and make sure it runs."
"Alright." Ian said with a nod as he did as Marco asked.
"Camilla, there are a stack of documents on your's and Ian's desks in your respective offices, can you get them?" Marco asked. "I was hoping the two of you could help me with work, I didn't expect you to drag Jake along."
"We didn't drag him along, he dragged us." Ian complained as he prepared the coffee.
"I'll help Camilla get the documents." Jake said as he quickly left Marco's office.
Marco laughed as Jake sprinted out, followed by Camilla.
"He isn't supposed to be here, is he?" Ian asked Marco as he brought over Marco's coffee.
"Thanks." Marco said with a nod as he took the cup from Ian. "No he isn't." Marco said, shaking his head.
"Then why did he insist on taking us up here?" Ian asked as he brought his, Jake's, and Camilla's drinks to the table.
"He is just avoiding his dad." Marco said as he shook his head. "His father normally wants him at their house an hour before the meeting. Jake is delaying it so that he arrives, five minutes before they have to leave."
"I am not delaying anything." Jake said as he held the door open for Camilla. Each of them had a small stack of documents in their hands.
"Might as well be useful while you are here." Marco told Jake with a mischievous grin. "Those are all contracts that need to be looked over for tonight. You just need to check the proposal, if it brings a significant enough amount to the Reyes Group or not."
"I swear, the role assistant is an understatement for you guys." Jake said with a laugh.
"Don't just stand there Jake help with the documents." Marco said in a stern tone as he pointed at a pile on his desk.
"I can't, conflict of interest." Jake told Marco as he tried to get out of helping.
"Conflict my ass, the only conflict you have is you would disapprove of your own company's proposal so that you wouldn't have to go to dinner tonight." Marco told Jake as he pushed the pile towards him.
"Fine." Jake said as he walked over and too the pile from the desk, giving into what Marco wanted him to do.
There were now three rooms and a hallway between them, it seemed like it was now bigger as well, probably absorbing one of the adjacent meeting rooms.
