Chapter 31: Chapter 31
The journalists quickly posted photos of Adrianna and Ayanna Reyes side by side with photos of Adrianna and Cedric during the event. Due to these photos people online began to speculate who Cedric and Adrianna were.
People began pointing out that the two individuals next to Adrianna and Cedric were Mr. Reyes' assistants. They even posted photos and screenshots of the event where Camilla and Ian were preparing things or helping Mr. Reyes.
This began a rumor that Cedric may be the heir to the Reyes Group.
Ram Abad, who was seated at the front row was immediately informed by his digital team that such a rumor was circulating. One part of his team was focused on monitoring any posts or content circulating about the 5 princes and their families.
He knew that Cedric wanted to keep a low profile so he sent a message to their group chat.
Ram Abad: Hey Ced, there are a ton of conspiracy theories going around about you now.
Cedric Reyes: Well I still wore the mask tonight, so it's only natural that people would talk about me.
Ram Abad: I'm not talking about the Heir to the Reyes Group. Well I kinda am. People think you're you.
Alexi Sebastian: Ram you're being confusing.
Ray Laurance: Yeah Ram!
Ram Abad: Just look at this.
Ram sent a screenshot of the post as well as the comments section from the forum.
Lovestheprinces: Is he the real heir of the Reyes Group?
Girlonfire: He looks so ordinary. It can't be him.
Personwholoves: But look at the girl with him. She was seated next to Ayanna Reyes and when he arrived she sat next to him.
FutureMrsEric: The two next to them are Mr. Reyes' assistants. I clearly saw them in the photos with My Eric
Ram Abad: Luckily the post isn't on mainstream social media yet. I can release a statement saying that you are an assistant to the president of Mor Co.
Cedric Reyes: Yes. I'd like that Ram.
Ram Abad: Done!
Miguel Chan: Who the hell uses the username FutureMrsEric? I'm clearly the better choice.
Everyone chose to just ignore Miguel's rant.
Some employees had also noticed the photo circulating social media. Since many of them knew Cedric they immediately clarified that Cedric was actually an assistant to the president and not the president himself. As to the matter of who Adrianna was it was simple, she was his wife who also had business with the Reyes Group.
With people clarifying who Cedric and Adrianna were, many people online became disappointed, they still didn't have a face to a name. The heir to Reyes Group remained a mystery, even after his speech and the Q&A portion he suddenly just disappeared without a trace.
The event all in all was a success. Mor Co. had managed to successfully reinvent itself and on top of that the appearance of such important business personalities had also caused people to talk about Mor Co.
It also helped that Ram Abad was stirring more talk about the company with their family's news outlet. For days all people could talk about was Mor Co. and how this nobody company was actually headed by the heir of Reyes Group.
Despite the event happening almost a week ago, Mor Co. and the Reyes Heir remained the hottest topic, both online and in person. Even among the employees of Mor Co. they were trying to catch a glimpse of their president. The odd thing was, they didn't even know how he got to the office. None of the security guards could confirm what car he drove or what time he would arrive in the office. Even more tightly sealed were the lips of his assistants, it even reached the point where Ian, Camilla, and Cedric were rarely seen by their co-employees.
It actually just so happened, that the relaunch was just the start of a heavier workload for Cedric. With all the news surrounding Mor Phones, the demand and workload for everyone increased. Despite having prepared for a surge in demand no one was able to predict the amount of traction that the brand had gotten in the market.
Cedric had to meet constantly with his directors on how to produce and distribute enough stocks just to meet the first week's demand. As a result of their busy schedule, Cedric often asked Ian and Camilla to simply order in.
One day while Cedric was heading out, he noticed that the members of the logistics team were just clocking out as well. He took a quick mental note to make sure to treat all his employees in celebration of their success and to reward their hardwork.
It just so happened that among the employees that were leaving was Chris Garin. When he saw Cedric leaving as well he realized that this was his chance. His one-sided argument with Cedric was the reason for his demotion.
"Hey Cedric." Chris said, placing his arm around Cedric's shoulder. "You owe me. You got me into trouble last time."
"That was your fault Chris not mine." Cedric said, taking Chris' arm off his shoulder.
"Look I got demoted because of you-�� Right before Chris could say anything else he noticed the Logistics Director walking towards them with Camilla and Ian. "Buddy, don't forget about our high school reunion tomorrow alright? I'm sure everyone is excited to see you."
"That's tomorrow?" Cedric asked. He had completely forgotten about the date of their highschool's batch reunion.
Chris sneered at him. If he couldn't get back at Cedric now, he would do it during their reunion. He was more successful than Cedric anyway. Cedric might be the president's assistant, but he was just that, an assistant.
"Mr. Garin! Do you have so much free time that you would just stand there and chat with your friend." The logistics director called out.
When the logistics department's director saw Chris talking to Cedric, he paled. He knew what had happened last time and was worried that he would have to face the consequences this time. He immediately spoke to send Chris away.
