Hendrick looked around nervously as he felt he was witnessing a discussion he shouldn't be part of.
"Don't worry, you belong here now, kid." Ian chuckled as if he could read Hendrick's mind.
Cedric grinned at the young man before speaking.
"It is tradition for us to choose and groom the Reyes Heir's assistants before the Reyes Heir takes his place in the company." Cedric explained to Hendrick and the others in the room who were not aware.
"In our time it was I and a woman that now goes by the name Camilla Ming, wife of one of the richest men in China and a CEO by her own right." Ian explained. "The role isn't one you will take on forever, but you will be needed to help out every so often."
"Are you asking Hendrick to be one of my assistants?" Emilio asked, shocked by his father's offer. "You still haven't found one?"
Cedric smiled and shook his head.
