Chapter 7 Arrogant CEO

Anita can't say anything again after their mother leaves them and walks back to the room to be with their father.

She sighs and stares at Flora, who seems worried, and they walk back to sit on the couch.

"What do you think is the problem?" Esther asks Flora. Flora shakes her head and responds, "I don't know, but I'm worried it's something serious."

They sit back on the couch waiting for their father or mother to step out and talk to them.

Anita sighs and finally walks back to her room as she doesn't know what the problem is either. She believes her mother will let them know about it, even though her father doesn't want to, as she saw her father was already dressed to leave for work before receiving whatever news that made him devastated. She prays silently in her heart, "let it not be that father has lost his job."

Anita murmurs and walks into her room, feeling his screams echoing in her mind has something to do with his office work. She sits on her bed and takes up her phone to type her letter of application to the Benson group, that she previously wanted to send to them, and she begins typing...

Back in the Benson residential villa, Liam doesn't say anything to his father about his new plan and change in the female staff's dress code, as he already discussed it with his mother. Her outburst wasn't what he had expected, as she has always supported him, and he knows his father's reaction won't be different from his mother's, as they behave alike.

Liam sighs and dresses up to leave for work, as he stands up from his bed, takes his bath first, rushing into his bathroom and doing all the necessary scrubbing of his hard and toned, handsome, chiseled muscles.

Later, he steps out from his wide bathtub and ties his sparkling white towel around his waist as he walks out to his room to dress up.

Liam decides to give Brown a call first, checking his wall clock, he sees it's already past 7 a.m. and he knows he will be arriving late to examine the female staff dressing seductively hot himself.

"Hello boss!" Brown speaks first as he picks up.

"Hello," Liam responds.

"Good morning boss," Brown says.

"Morning. Don't forget my orders as of yesterday. I emailed you late as I had some business discussion with ny father and his friend who arrived and joined us for dinner."

"Okay boss, your order has already been implemented early this morning, as early as 6 a.m. Some of our female staff are arriving, we let them know from the entrance gate," Brown responds.

"Good! That's all I have to say to you for now. See you in the office," Liam replies.

"Okay boss, I will be expecting you."

"Good." Liam finally ends the call and smirks.

"Now it's time to get down to business and stay focused," he says as he walks happily to remove his exquisite grey suit from his wardrobe hanger and holds it out.

Liam wears his suit and applies his perfume and hair cream, combing his short black hair and brushing his short beard. He wears his black shoes before staring at his handsome reflection in the mirror.

He finally steps out from his room, walking down the corridor upstairs and taking the stairs going downstairs to the dining room to have breakfast with his parents.

Mr. Taiye is already sitting in his usual dining seat, waiting for his breakfast and to see Liam before Liam leaves for work. Even though it's Friday morning, he still needs to see his son before he leaves for his first day in the office.

"Good morning, father," Liam greets his father as he finally steps downstairs to the living room and walks into the open dining room to join his parents for breakfast.

"Good morning, son," Mr. Taiye responds, and Liam gets closer and takes his seat.

"How was your night, son?" Mr. Taiye asks.

"Fine, father," Liam responds as he sits.

"Good morning, mother," Liam greets his mother as she walks to the dining room and sits, while the maids walking behind her serve their breakfast to the dining table.

It's fried eggs and tea with toast bread for breakfast.

"How was your night, son?" Mrs. Juliet finally asks him.

"It was fine, mother," Liam replies happily and he dives into eating his food, starting to chew on his bread and eggs.

"Son, you didn't even wait for me to pray first before you started eating," Mrs. Juliet says, and Liam pauses.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mom, I forgot," he stops eating the toast bread and keeps it down on his plate, staring at his mother.

"It's okay, son. I will be quick with the prayer," Mrs. Juliet replies faintly and Liam nods.

"Let's pray," Mrs. Juliet says as they shut their eyes closed and she gives out a short prayer and ends it, and they start eating.

Liam is quick to finish his breakfast and drink his tea, prepared for him by one of the maids. As he finishes, he stands up from the dining seat to leave.

"I am already leaving for work, father," he says.

"Okay, son," Mr. Taiye responds.

"I might not be in the office today until next week, let me see how you will handle today's work project."

"Okay, father, you've already retired, so you shouldn't stress about that."

"Okay, son," Mr. Taiye smiles faintly as Liam walks out of the dining room and out of the mansion.

Liam's driver, Israel Nicholas, has already prepared his car, and he will be driving to the company in his latest Range Rover Sport.

"Good morning, Boss," Israel greets as Liam approaches.

"Good morning," Liam responds, and he walks towards his SUV while Israel opens the door for him. He sits in, and Israel gets into the driver's seat. A new bodyguard quickly walks up to them as Israel is about to start the SUV's engine.

"Who's that?" Liam asks.

"He's Tosin Williams, the new bodyguard assigned to you by the Chief," Israel responds.

"Okay, let him in," Liam says, and Israel immediately opens the SUV door automatically. Tosin gets into the front seat, and Israel drives out to the Benson Group of Companies headquarters.

Upon arriving at the company, a lot of chaos and noise are heard as some of the female staff are murmuring and screaming loudly, with the paparazzi taking photos of them.

"We can't take this!"

"We're supposed to dress professionally, and we did. What do you mean by oversized clothes?!"

"I cannot go back home, by the time I return it will already be late!" Another female staff murmurs.

"Let's wait for the boss!" Another lady screams out.

"Oh, the new boss is already here. This new policy is outrageous!" Another lady shouts as Israel drives into the company parking lot.

The company's bodyguards immediately walk out to block the ladies wanting to step into the company again.

"You're not allowed to step in. Follow the new dress code or return home. Your balance for this month will be paid in full," the head guard, Raymond Martins, informs them.

"We want to see the boss!" Some of the young ladies scream out, but Raymond doesn't respond and doesn't allow them in.

"You have a few hours to go back home and change your outfits. Failure to comply will result in a replacement!" Raymond warns them and instructs the security men to lock the company's gate. Only customers are allowed on the premises.

Liam steps down and walks into the grand welcoming floor of the Benson Group, taking the elevator to the third floor where his new office is located.

"Good morning, sir!" The staff on the first floor greets him as he walks in.

They are the distribution team, responsible for packaging products that will be delivered to the market. Liam ignores them and walks into the elevator, with Tosin following him.

"Good morning, boss!" The workers on the third floor greet him as he steps out of the elevator and walks into the receiving lounge.

Liam walks towards his secretary's office first, and she stands up immediately and greets him, "Good morning, boss."

"Good morning," Liam scans her from head to toe, nodding in approval. The rest of the staff on the third floor also stand up and greet him respectfully.

Liam walks into his office, closes the door behind him, and pleased with the new dress code. His company has more female workers than males, and he wants to avoid any distractions.

He has never fantasized about having an affair with a female staff member in his office, but since becoming the new CEO, he has had strange fantasies. He knows changing the dress code will prevent these fantasies from becoming reality.
