Chapter 161: 161

Williams flipped through documents that were inside the file. Once done summing through, he cleared his throat, and all eyes tuned to him and everyone.

"I welcome everyone here today, and thank you all for coming under such short notice. As you all may have already known, the management of Apex Groups will be changing hands but still within the family," he stopped as let the silence drag for a little while.

"I know you all have many questions to ask, and I assure you that the time to take questions will come, but for now, please bear with us." He said and again, and everyone nodded in synchrony.

"Over the past few years, my grandson, Adam Crawford, had been in charge of the family company but today. Under his management, the company continued to thrive, but tue family, as well as the board, has decided that it is time for a change of hands. I know this is not easy for my grandson to accept having been the one managing the company’s affairs for so long. So I once again ask for your understanding, Adam. There is nothing personal about the decision as it was what is best for business," Williams said, his eyes trained on Adam, who silently stared back at him. Trying not to let anything slip through his expression.

Everyone listened with rapt attention, taking notebof every word that he uttered, unwilling to miss anything.

"And due to this decision, one of my sons was nominated by the hoard and he has proven himself capable of handling the family business, home and aborad and Apex has been very pleased with his achievements," he then turned to look at Alex, whose face remained blank but composed.

All eyes also turned to him as well as the cameras zoomed in on him.

"With that said, I would like to introduce to you, my youngest son. The child of got at my old age, Kayden Crawford, who you all have known as Alexander Legend. He will be the one assuming the position of the CEO of Apex from now, hence forth." Williams said proudly, and all those who heard him could never mistake the pride in his tone and expression as his gaze remained fixated on Alex. His features softened, and his lips curled up beautifully.

A round of applause followed his speech and the sound cameras clicking as snapshots were taken.

Alex sat there like he didn’t know it was a photo of him everyone was eager to take. His expression never changed, and his never looked at anyone other than his father, and sometimes, his wife beside him. It was as if no one else existed.

But when the clicking sound of the cameras continued for longer than he would like, his expression darkened, and he turned to look at the reporters. The snaps siezed almost immediately as if it was planned, and they all took their seats again.

How he was to command them even without uttering a words amazed those seated at the desk as well frightened them. They could all feel the aura that emanated from him was suffocating.

Noticing what had just happened, Sara smiled subtly. How was it that she never felt what these people were feeling now even before they git together again? She asked herself, but that only made her smile more prominent. Oeaning towards him, she placed her hand on his own and whispered, "That’s the whole reason they are here, you know. They want to know you, write about you, and have your pictures as proof. Don’t be like that." she chided softly.

Alex met her gaze, felt herthumb caressing the back of his palm, and his countenance softened immediately, and then he nodded his head. Sara smiled before returning her gaze to the people around them.

Their little exchange didn’t go unnoticed. Not when the air cleared immediately as if it didn’t become stuffy and difficult to breathe just seconds ago.

Williams smiled at that, pleased with what he had just witnessed. Adam got even more infuriated but like he had been doing the whole day, he kept it all bubbled and bottled up inside of him. He could onmy glare with his eyes ans curse at them in his mind.

On the other hand, Kai wanted to roll his eyes but then, he knew had Sara not stepped in like that, this meet would be as food as over sooner than later.
