"Stop it Annabel, I called you here so we can discuss. If you keep acting like a brat then we will totally refuse to help you, you should plead and groove at our feet instead. That's your role!" Mr. Ezekiel said coldly unhappy at Annabel's confident tone.
"Mr. Ezekiel you seem to have a misconception about me well let me correct that. I am not here to plead for your help but instead to reclaim my position and threaten you all, you know what I mean by threaten right? Yes I am here to do that." Annabel replied with a sweet smile on her lips.
The shareholders exchanged looks between themselves, they had never seen someone so confident and cold before. "What are you trying to say? How dare you say that in this place? You have no right to try and threaten us, you should be pleading instead because we are majority and you are minority."
Mr. Ezekiel replied sending Annabel a cold glare, he should have known it was harder to deal with the girl than expected but that was not a problem. He was confident he could bring her to her knees no matter what.
Annabel gave them a fake smile, she gestured toward Zeto and asked him to share the picture to everyone sitting there. "You should not mess with me Mr. Ezekiel, just as you are confident you can ruin me. I can equally do so too, it's just that we both have different method of ruining people."
"When I ruin people even if it drags me down then I do not care but when you ruin people you try to protect yourself at all cost, the little present my Assistant gas for you will surely make you think twice before you decide to do something." Annabel pointed out gesturing with her fingers for them to check the photos.
The shareholders all took hold of the photos and stared at it. Everyone gasped in surprise and puzzlement. "You are fighting against her then why do you meet with her? I mean you didn't just meet with her but you also did this!" One of the shareholders yelled glaring at Mr. Ezekiel.
Ezekiel didn't know if he should give a clap for the little girl or deal with his problems first, the b***h took good evidence and was using it against him. She was not only spoilt, arrogant and disrespectful but also very daring and smart he must admit.
"Mr. Ezekiel are you lost in thoughts? Please do not he lost in thoughts, the people here demand an answer from you. You see if you do not give an appropriate answer then these photos may end up on the news and internet too."
"If it does end up there then not only will you be cursed alongside me, the company you are trying so hard to take away from me and hold for yourself will fall apart. It will be destroyed! Neither you or them or even me will be able to save the company from falling apart."
Annabel explained with a tight smile that showed how little she cared about the situation. "Are you threatening me? How dare you do this photoshopped images? Don't you know I am happily married, why do you want to ruin my image in front of everyone?"
Ezekiel demanded angrily breaking out of his thoughts, he was seriously furious with how he was caught off guard and was trapped too by a little girl. He grit his teeth in anger while folding the image till it was all rough.
"You can only scream and vent Mr. Ezekiel, you have no choice. Stop your revolution and vote for me as the CEO of the company or else you not only lose the company. You lose your money, you lose your wife and you also lose your reputation in public."
"I heard your brother in law is a politician? Imagine if you ruin his chance of becoming governor, I can easily escape and leave from this country after all it happened in the past but you can not! This is the best option for you." Annabel remarked sitting back relaxed after her words.
She picked up her cellphone and began playing canes in it immediately without paying heed to the men. The other shareholders murmured among themselves, they sent disgusted and disappointed look toward Ezekiel who looked no less disappointed in himself.
Ezekiel swallowed, he refused to accept defeat to a young girl but he had absolutely no choice. He had to do it, he had to mane sure everything he was building did not fall apart. Not only that, his wife and brother in law would not spare him if he made a fool out of himself.
"I can see you finally realized the situation or do you still think you have the upper hand? I can give you more time to think if you are still very unsure of your decision, after all we are all humans and we tend to make mistakes." Annabel added fuel to the fire with a deadly smile again.
Ezekiel grit his teeth, he knew she was asking him to apologize and be remorseful but it was against his pride if he did. He groaned and yelled withing himself before opening his mouth. "Everyone I think we were wrong, Miss Annabel is indeed capable. She will make a good leader for us."
Ezekiel said to the shareholders who didn't appear happy by his words, they sent glares at him and Annabel before reluctantly nodding their heads. The shareholders picked up their things and rushed out of the room in anger and frustration, leaning behind only Ezekiel, Annabel and her assistant."
"Do you think you have won? No you have not won it just yet, I will find another way to get back the company from you. I didn't expect you to be shameless enough to take photos, it's better I do not see these photos on the internet or else!" Ezekiel scolded worth a frustrated tone, he stood up with his hand slammed on the table.
