CEO's Contract Obsession-Chapter 131: Mendelssohn’s
"Ah! There you are, I have been looking for you. Some of the guests are ready to leave and wanted to say goodbye to you," Uncle Trev called out as soon as Henry went back to the banquet hall.
"Where is Lucas?" Henry grumbled as he look around the hall trying to find Ash’s father.
"Did something happen?" Trev noticed how sour Henry’s mood is from his tone, even if he was wearing a blank expression.
"Ash assaulted Amy."
"Oh my, is she ok?"
"Yes, Uncle Trev she is..." his words trailed off when he saw Lucas speaking with some of the guests.
Henry swiftly went to where he was as Rei and Dave follow him.
"Mr. Brighton, I have been looking for you," Lucas and the gentlemen he was talking with looked at Henry.
Henry did not wait for the others to leave or speak for he went straight to his point, "Thank you for coming today. Now let me properly say goodbye to you and all your companies that we are investing in.
Our lawyers will bring all the necessary documents in cutting off all our business deals. Don’t worry we will pay all the fines that incorporate the early termination of all our business contracts."
The men around Henry including Lucas were stunned. They were not able to react for Henry did not give them the time to.
"Rei, Dave, please escort Mr. Brighton out of my party. He is no longer welcome here and from any Welsh Holdings’ buildings and businesses, please let our people know," Henry then turned around and smirked before walking away.
"Henry this is absurd! You can’t just terminate everything, it will cost you millions! Are you insane?!" Lucas yelled and shouted as loud as he could to make sure people will hear him as Rei and Dave dragged him out of the venue.
Henry put his hands in his pockets and faced Lucas, he grinned at him like a devil with vengeful eyes. "Watch me, you’ll see," he said before taking a glass of champagne from the waiter that passed by.
He walked back to where Uncle Trev is and they both watched Lucas Brighton being dragged by his men.
"That’s a huge amount of money son. I think I am hearing wedding bells right now," Trev then walked away while he waves his hand like a conductor as he hums Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, "Dun dun dadun... dun dun dadun..." with a smile on his face.
Henry shook his head and smile as well as he watched his uncle walk.
"Do we get your go signal then?" Anton asked.
Henry nodded and raised his glass for a toast with Anton, "Cheers."
"When?" Anton asked once more.
"Are you free this weekend?" Henry uttered.
Anton smirked, "Finally... Something interesting to do on your birthday."
"Did our people prepare everything?" Henry asked when he saw Rei and Dave walk back to them after handing Lucas to his security team.
"Do you really have to ask?" Anton scoffed before shaking his head incredulously at Henry.
"What did I miss?" Rei asked seeing Henry’s devilish grin.
"Henry’s puberty graduation," Anton answered making Henry laugh.
Rei raised his right hand and hugged Henry, "Congratulations bro! Now can you end this party, I need to get my suit, coz you know I always have to be prepared when working for a crazy man like you."
"Haha! I know, alright let me say goodbye to everyone then," Henry left Anton and Rei with a smug face, feeling proud of himself.
"Will he really do it?" Rei asked Anton.
"Yes, tomorrow. I already texted everyone," Anton said while waving his phone to Rei.
"Looks like no one is going to sleep tonight huh?" Rei uttered as they both watched Henry happily saying goodbye to his guests.
Sandra and Maya who are part of the group that Anton sent the text message to looked at each other after receiving his message.
"Sis, it’s time. I think we should go," Sandra said.
"How about Mary? Should we get her? Do you think they are already ok?" asked Maya.
Ava who heard the ladies’ conversation butted in, "Mitch will let her know. Dave will come with you so you can do the things that you need. Be there on time ok?"
The sisters nodded and went their way.
When Henry was able to say goodbye to everyone. He informed Uncle Trev of his plan and the old man agreed before he went home.
He can’t wait to see Amy, hoping that she is just fine. As he walks towards their suite, the gravity of what he did slowly sinks in. But he didn’t regret it. He ran both his hands through his hair feeling the frustration by just imagining what will the board say as soon as they find out that he terminated Brighton’s contract prematurely.
Of course, he already prepared everything beforehand. It was a calculated risk but he also knows that he will get a lot of nagging and negative feedback from the board and that will be annoying.
However, he did it for Amy and he is willing to do it for her over and over again. He will go through hell if he needs to.
He paused when he reached the door of their suite. Anton informed him earlier that Mary is no longer in their room and that Amy already calmed down and not crying anymore. He took in a deep breath before coming in.
When he entered, he saw Amy pacing around the room with a worried look.
"Love..." he said.
Amy looked at him and the look on her face made him frown.
"What’s wrong my angel?"
Amy reached out for his hand and asked, "Can we talk? I have something to say. Please don’t get mad."
Henry nodded and they both sat on the sofa as he wait anxiously on what she was about to say.
Instead of speaking, Amy kept on opening and closing her mouth and sighing in between. She was obviously having a hard time saying what she wanted to say.
