Chapter 3 Thirst for success

Whenever something happened in the Larson family. The first person who called a meeting was the lady of the house

The woman who ruled with an iron fist. No one dared to defy her rules. Whenever she got angry everyone got burned

"Why aren't they vacating the building"

"W-well...lady Laura...we tried. We gave our notices to everyone, "the man sitting opposite his boss said nervously. His heart thumped painfully as he tried to keep calm. Peeking up, his knees turned weak at the sight of his boss. For a 40 years old woman. She didn't look her age. Beauty with brains and a thirst for success. A perfect blend for a troublesome woman

dressed in a white suit, a skirt reaching above her knees, and a coat with a white shirt inside. Rob had to say. His boss was stunning. Despite her angry resting face. She was a goddess. A gorgeous heart shaped the face of a model despite her age. Her voice was low and calm. She was every man's dream. Those beautiful hazel eyes drew everyone in.

To the public, she was given horrible names. However, he didn't find anything wrong with his boss. Well, except for her hot temper.

Holding his cheek dramatically, Robert shook his head not wanting to say anything offensive

"I made this clear. I asked everyone to vacate those houses in a month!" the lady snapped, despite how calm she looked. Her sharp eyes could scare anyone. No matter how many years, Robert had stayed working for Ms. Laura. He still felt intimidated by her

"I did... I asked them to leave but...one of them is stubborn" Rob said, showing his boss all the notices he gave. Unfortunately, one family was stubborn and didn't want to vacate the house. Laura's eyes narrowed. Taking notice, her eyes fixed on the words written

She trusted her people to do what was necessary, she specifically bought that building, so she could demolish and build something beneficial to her.

"If...they refuse to vacate...then drag them out forcefully ..." Laura said, tossing the note back to his assistant and secretary. Rob swallowed hard. Sweat dripped from his forehead. He clarified it. He warned them to adhere to the rules. Adjusting his specs hanging on his nose. Rob waited for his boss to finish

"Bulldoze them out...destroy the house and make sure...you beat up whoever tries to stop you," Laura said word by word. Her voice was low and lethal. Rob nodded, knowing full well his boss met what she said. Her expression wasn't so friendly

"And oh...if anyone tries to act smart...get them arrested right away" she added, this time smiling. Rob knew that sinister smile more than anyone. His lady was something else. A woman who made threats with a warm smile.

"Yes, my lady...and about...well"Rob nodded; however, there was something else. Handing Laura a black file. Robert waited for his boss to go through. With vivid eyes, Laura glanced at Rob before turning to the file

"It's urgent that you take a look... I chose to let you know before the board does"Rob added professionally, with each turn of the page. Laura's blood boiled. Her hands gripping the paper delicately, her eyes darted Around

"Why am I finding out about this now?" Laura was unhappy. She didn't expect this to happen. Robert tried to speak, think of any excuse, however his tongue was tied. How was he to say anything when it was Lady Laura's family involved

"I-i thought...well..."

"Out!" Laura's angry voice echoed throughout the study room. Her hand slammed on the table, making Robert fall to his knees. Bowing his head and started pleading

"Please, Lady Laura... I didn't have the... I thought...please forgive"Rob pleaded for her job. He made a mistake. His boss never mixed business with personal affairs. He was wrong not to inform his boss when something serious happened

"Get out!" Laura ordered, and the door burst open. Two large men in black suits walked in. Rob knew he overstepped his boundaries

"Take him away" Laura ordered, and the two men nodded and dragged Rob out of the office. The door closed, and Laura's eyes turned dark. She felt hot. Her body temperature was getting higher and there was nothing to cool her off. Stripping off her coat. Laura tossed it aside. Kicking off her shoes, she rose from the chair pushing it backward

Burying her face in her palms, she didn't know what to do with her greedy family. From her mother to her 30 years old brother and 24 years old sister. These three had gone too far

"Not again" she muttered, reaching for her phone. This was getting out of hand. She just came back home after a long business trip to another country. Instead of resting, g, she was going to decide

"Lawyer Gael...my house now, "Laura said calmly as soon as her lawyer answered the call. She had no choice but to complete this.

Four days ago, she left the country for something important and gave orders to the head servant. The woman she appointed to oversee the house knowing the people she kept might turn it into a war zone, she asked the people close to her to watch her family closely knowing they would do something bizarre in her absence and yes, they went ahead and did more harm than good.

Slamming the phone back on the table. Laura knew what she had to do to stop all the unnecessary drama.

Getting out of the study room, Laura decided to take a quick shower before the lawyer arrived. Meanwhile, she would wait for Rob to deal with the problem with the houses. She needed to start her project of building something she always wanted

The resident she chose was a good one. The location was better. She already awarded the contract to a well-known construction company to do the work thoroughly. However, with the reports, she received. She was likely to kill someone if they dared cross her. If tomorrow passed and the family still refused to vacate. Then she would have no choice but get all of them arrested and jailed for life

"How dare they?" she muttered and kicked off her skirt and wrapped a towel around her body. Flipping her hair off her back and tied it in a bun. She prepared to take a hot bubble bath and soothe her aching body.
