Grandpa and grandma Katz walked hand in hand towards the podium as the rest could feel the nobility radiating from these two.
Despite their old age, their physical features greatly begged to differ. They looked so young and elegant riling up the wishes of most socialites to be part of the Katz family. Despite their cold faces, one could still detect the air of gentleness and love between the two.
"A beautiful evening indeed. Thank you all for creating time to come and witness a rare historic moment."
Grandpa Katz started his speech and as he scanned the hall, he could see different emotions in different eyes, most of them looking at him waiting to curry favor and he couldn't help but deeply scoff as he knew how greedy people could be just to be connected with power.
"It has been years since the founding of the Katz Cooperation, the company with the biggest hotel chains in the country and I know throughout the years most of you have been wondering why the president didn't seem to be changing."
"You also know my wife and I as people who really value efforts and pure intentions. Over the years, we have been observing our children and grandchildren to see who is fit of inheriting this seat, someone who we know will diligently take the company to a whole new level, someone who is not driven by greed."
As he said the last words, Grandpa Katz made sure to sharply scan his huge family and as his sharp dark eyes went past them, most of the members were terribly shivering because they just realized that the old man has always been watching them.
The rest of the audience was not left out as most also shivered because the man up there was just too scary!! He has always been known as a very strict and un approachable man as some wondered how his family even survived in the first place. Together with grandpa Lee, these two men were not to be messed with even at their old age.
"Without wasting time, I would like to introduce everyone to the one and only president of the Katz cooperation, Rose Katz!!"
The moment he said this, the crowd that was buzzing with excitement immediately went silent. The silence that hit the entire hall was just so great and terrifying as the same door to the left was opened, immediately commanding the entire audience to face the direction, only for them to deeply hold in their breath, their mouths opened wide in shock as a beautiful woman made her way into the hall and without maintaing eye contact with them, she directly made her way to the podium, indicating that as her goal for the night.
She entered the room with a noble air, every stride being graceful as the sound of her heels equally displayed power as if she were the ruler of all. Her curves were soft, flawless and sinfully inviting. She radiated an effortless elegance that was impossible to ignore and even mimic. Her beautiful black gown clung to her curves in all the right places, displaying both elegancy and formality. The gown's thigh slit seemed to be emmiting a soft whisper as she walked, pulling in everyone who watched her.
Coldness emanated from her, as if she was above it all ,untouchable and unapproachable Despite this, her allure was seductive and scary at the same time but it still seemed to be drawing the eyes of all who beheld her. She was a woman of beauty and power, the embodiment of nobility and she seemed to be perfectly aware of that as her beautiful red colored lips slightly lifted at the corner, revealing a 'mocking' glance.
The whole hall that was in a trance was broken by Grandpa Katz cough as he sweetly helped her up the podium. The shocked crowd immediately started whispering as shock seemed to be permanently plastered on their faces.
A WOMAN???
'Somebody tell me I am dreaming!!'
'Oh my word!!'
'She is so beautiful!'
'A historical moment indeed!'
'Son, make sure to get close to her!!'
There was a whole buzzing as everyone tried to collect themselves. Many were so shocked that they couldn't be able to let out a word as some old men showed hints of disapproval.
The most shocked seemed to be the Hart family and Rose's parents. It all happened in a blink!! Grandma and Mrs Hart felt like fainting as they looked at the girl on stage, the girl who was supposed to belong to the Hart family! Her seat, her wealth, it all belonged to them!!!
As The reporters violently snapped pictures and took videos of her, Rose stood on stage and slowly scanned the hall, not missing the perverted looks she got, the looks of envy and jealousy, looks of disapproval and some looks of pure congratulations. When her eyes accidentally came into contact with The Harts, she almost puked when she saw the three women sweetly smiling at her as they pretended to be creating a distance with Andrew and Abigael.
She did not even bother looking at the so called couple not knowing that this move of hers unexpectedly tugged Andrew's heart and to him, it looked like she was just throwing a tantrum. He couldn't believe that his girlfriend just became so powerful!! Maybe he could slowly trick her and end up as the president of the Katz cooperation!
She waited until the whole hall had quietened down for her to finally speak. Without the audience's knowledge, they had succumbed to the pressure in her eyes and ended up keeping quiet without her saying a word.
"Thank you all for attending this historical event and judging by the looks on your faces, it is really a historical event."
Her firm but sweet voice rang among the crowd as various people felt tugs in their hearts. Unknowingly, Rose had just become the number one and bachelorette in the country.
"I would like to thank my grandparents for this opportunity. For trusting my ability to lead. Without beating around the bush I would like to analyze..." Just like that ,Rose started giving her analysis on the company, pointing out the key factors and most important things that Grandpa Katz himself never saw in all his years of leadership. It even shocked them more how she did all these off head and how she immediately embraced her role as if she was born for the seat of the president!
Her magnetic quality started drawing in people in from all corners. Even those who were giving her looks of disapproval immediately switched and looked at her with very respectful eyes.
She continued presenting her speech with poise and grace, articulating her words with ease, putting to shame the well known scholars in the room. Her voice sounded inviting despite the coldness in it, making her relatable and interesting.
"To top of my long speech, I would like to announce two great collaborations that will mark my entrance."
'What? A collaboration? already?'
'Point of correction young man, it is collaborations! '
'Is she a monster?? She already has collaborations?'
'As expected of the Katz genius president.'
'Beauty brains and hard work! Just the perfect granddaughter in law!'
'She is setting the bar too high!'
'Such a capable president!'
'I think I found myself a sister in law!'
