36 The Heir (1/2)
Crystal knew the boys would be here today.
She knew it was time to face her fear now..... without showing any weakness.
She strode in the conference room, which was followed by utter silence.
The chattering had stopped, all eyes were on her now.
It was only her Grandfather speaking.
She refused to glance at the table for now...
She could feel everyone's stare on her, her heart was beating frantically yet she didn't show any hesitation like the old Crystal would show.
She was strong now, she emitted confidence and radiance.
There was something about her aura that kept the men entralled.
Her grandfather took her hand and pulled her over to the conference table.
”Gentlemen, meet my granddaughter Crystal Stanley.
The heir to my business.”
Crytsal smiled shyly.
She heard few gasps from men.
”You have a granddaughter?”
”The next heir?”
”Yes, she will be taking over the business.” Andrew said proudly.
”Now gentlemen, isn't it rude for you people to not introduce yourself to the lady here?” Will said standing up.
”Oh there's no need Will, I know all of them...” Crystal touched his arm, in silent threat to drop the topic.
She didn't want to shake hands with the billionaire squad boys, especially Watson.
Will raised his brows in question.
”Really? I doubt that.” Mr Fox snickered.
Crystal glanced over his way and gave him a cryptic smile, ”Mr. Fox, CEO of SYNC Industries. Fought with your brother to acquire entire ownership of the industry as well as property. Recently invested $100 million in Premier Corporation upcoming project. Also linked up with Mrs.Rosemary, thought it was rumour until I saw myself.”
She stopped, when she saw all the colour draining from Mr. Fox's face.
All the stares were now directed at him, his cheeks had reddned due to embarrassement.
He coughed and managed to say, ”Crystal Stanley, you are quite well informed.”
”You doubt that now?” She gave her best mocking smile and heard few snickers from men around the table.
”Now that's enough my dear. He didn't mean it that way...” Andrew patted her shoulders.
”Even I didn't mean it that way....”she said innocently, that made Andrew's and Will's lips twitch in amusement.
Orlando noticed the tension in the room, especially those emitting from the boys.
Crystal didn't glanced their way at all.
He could see Watson's fists clenched and chest heaving.
Several thoughts were running in Watson's mind right now, but nothing was making sense.
He was lost in the woman standing in front of him....
after 7 years....
