The Law of Attraction

The two women exchanged sharp glances as everyone inside the room gulped. Kenzie's lips curved upward as she calmly stated, "I'm really surprised that instead of supporting me on this new endeavor and chapter of my life, you are so against it Auntie. Do you think that I'm so irresponsible that I won't be able to manage the affairs of my family business which for your information was brought to where it is right now by my father alone?

You don't have to worry about it Auntie Lenny. Rest assured that I will take care of Chua Group just like how my father took care of it. So how about you watch and see it for yourself before judging my ability and babbling nonsense. That's really too harsh Auntie. I thought we were a family that should support each other but not pulls someone's leg like a greedy dog barking aloud to bite its master."

Kenzie then looked at the board members before her and casually instructed, "Gentlemen, I hate a never-ending discussion so let's just start with the voting. Shall we? Let the board decide who is going to take over this post and I trust you all know who should be voted in and expect what's coming for you all once the result is out,'' followed by her cunning smile. She stopped her eyes for just a second at the board members she confidentially visited.

Every member of the board agreed with Kenzie. Lenny had started feeling alarmed and restless. She could sense something suspicious seeing the eyes of the board members who promised to be on their side.

'What the hell is going on!?' she grunted in silence. She was caught left-handed. She did not expect this to come. She looked at Kenzie with a sharp stare. Her son must win the CEO position.

She looked at her son Brix who kept sighing. She once again looked at the board members who agreed with her last time to vote for Brix and she cursed.

Then her eyes shifted to Kenzie. 'You cunning sly girl!' she snarled in silence.

The voting soon began and it did not take long. The counting followed quickly.

Kenzie had a wide smile plastered all over her face as she looked at her aunt Lenny who was sulking red in color.

The speaker announced Kenzie as the new CEO of Chua Group. Everyone in the room congratulated her.

"Thank you for this opportunity. I will definitely not let you down…" 

The meeting was finally over and Kenzie walked directly to her father's office. She sat on the chair with a crumpled face.

"I don't get why aunt Lenny is like that. She's so exhausting. I can feel that she will get on my nerves almost every day. Why does she want to make things difficult when we can all live in harmony…" Kenzie mumbled followed by a loud exhaled.

"We have already informed all the employees about your appointment as the chairperson as well as the CEO. You will start visiting each department from tomorrow." Cris reminded.

"No, I want to visit today... as in right now. Get the people from the finance department and next from the legal department. I need a thorough clean-up," Kenzie commented.

"But… It will be so sudden…" Cris hesitated.

"It's okay, I want the word to spread immediately that I will not tolerate wrongdoings. Sarah will be here soon. I want an example out of them as early as today," Kenzie firmly said without batting an eye so Cris immediately made the necessary arrangements.

She knew about her plans and she was already prepared but Kenzie earlier said she was still undecided when they would start the operation. Kenzie was too unpredictable, but then she trusted the young miss to know what she was doing.

As soon as Sarah arrived, Kenzie headed to the meeting room with her where all the senior people from the finance department were already waiting.

Kenzie comfortably sat on the chair and signaled Cris to distribute the file which had a report on the irregularities in the finance department. Some of them were greatly shocked to see the report.

"I just got appointed today, but you see, I'm not unaware of the things going around in the company. I want everything to be cleaned up now since I have the management in my hands. I believe I don't have to explain further since this report and the evidence is already clear. 

"If you want more… I have more to show you…" Kenzie stated with a stern look and the finance manager gulped.

Kenzie exhaled loudly before putting her arms on the table and interlocked her fingers together. "Let's do this, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. You all know in your hearts that who all are responsible for this… 

Make sure all of you involved, file your resignation as early as today and cooperate with my attorney properly, or else... we could do it the hard way. I'm not actually afraid of any little scandal since our company being an investment company will not get affected by it."

Kenzie clicked her tongue and with an evil smirk added, "Ahh… I love my father for putting up a good and easy business such as this investment group where every company will have to beg for our investments in their multi-million dollar projects, regardless of any kind of scandal we are entangled in. Don't you agree guys?"

She lifted her eyebrows when no one answered as some of them were busy wiping up the drops of cold sweat from their forehead. 

"I guess I have already made myself clear, so I won't waste any more of your time guys. Let's be more productive, shall we? Because I still have a lot of people to eliminate today from each department…" she mumbled with a wink and signaled everyone to leave.

"Next department please…" Kenzie said.

Cris sighed. The young miss was too aggressive but very proficient indeed. She had it all investigated in such a short time, insisting that some irregularities were surely rolling inside all the branches of the company after her talk with all the board members.

She seemed blessed with good judgment on people. She could not help but have a smile of satisfaction on her face. Her benefactor, Kenzie's father, would surely be happy once she relayed the good news and told him how well his daughter, who they all thought was weak, handled everything like a tigress, not afraid to get scratched.

Outside, the legal team passed by the financial team and some of the finance team unconsciously said, "Good luck guys…"

"Why?"

"You will know once you are inside. Miss Kenzie… I mean the new CEO is very crazily scary…"
