章 2: Cupertino,CA

Everyone smiled back except for two Gracy Throne and Tom Bonnie with whom I had recently had a row with. After the death of Augustus Bonnie(Founder and ex-CEO), trusted the reins of the company in my hands more than his own son Tom who should have been the CEO after Auggie succumbed. But Auggie suggested against it because during Tom's brief reign as CEO in the absence of Auggie caused many depletion of about a quarter of the companies trust fund. After that Auggie died in an accident under suspicious circumstances and later in his will he made me as a beneficiary who can hold about half shares of the company if I agree to be CEO of Triumvirate and that decision left only some handful of shares to Tom. After becoming the CEO I had verified all the company trust fund transactions and found these unaccounted transactions asked Tom about them as he is the CEO at that time but later I later understood that CFO Gracy and Tom are having an illegitimate relationship and are covering each other's asses. The issue had escalated and lead to this urgent meeting. Tom turned power hungry and wan the entire company for himself. He didn't like me from the day I sat on the CEO chair that should have been his by right. Auggie was my mentor and my father figure who helped me view the corporate competition and trained me to get fight my way out successfully. After his death, the company had gone through the rough patch which took years to set things right.
