Obsession and desire novel Chapter 52

Andy shows up very punctual at nine in the morning, without even having been invited to that board of directors, many were behind his position, since the profits that the person occupying it would take were quite striking, in addition to the recognition that he would gain as an entrepreneur, was something that made anyone greedy for it.
On the board of directors there were several professionals, and CEO of other companies, there were five people, who were trying to compete for Andy's position, fortunately for him, none with the path he had, much less with the results he had. harvested, because thanks to his management, the company had the best capital in the country.
“Andy, I didn't expect you to come” Samuel looks him up and down, notices that he has had some physical changes.
 “Why didn't you expect it, dad? Do you feel that I learned very little from you? I always fulfill my responsibilities.”
“I thought you would not return to the company, now you will have to compete with these men for your position, today the board will choose the most suitable one to take the reins of the company.”
“Do you think I'm afraid?” Andy answers him while sitting in the same chair as always, where he took the meetings, the CEO's main chair, Samuel's eyes clouded over, he was incredulous of his son's arrogant attitude, but he partly liked it, that's how it was that he had actually formed it.
The meeting began and each one of the candidates showed their path, Andy upon listening to him, knew that the members of the meeting would choose him again without thinking about it, because thanks to him his shares had kept rising. He could only smile for sure, because it was only necessary to return to be able to take his place. So much so that it wasn't even necessary for him to introduce himself.
But the surprise came later, when the last candidate showed a much greater journey than him, he had already worked as a manager of one of the ALF branches, but he was interested in the position of CEO of the main one, everyone was delighted with the figures of the results, and was one of the options.
Mario Benedetti, a young thirty-year-old professional, with a couple of doctorates, a master's degree and two undergraduate degrees, was a charming man, not only physically, his way of being seemed to work magic on the people who dealt with him, not to mention In his career, all companies had been quite successful when he was a part of them, and although he was now beginning to carve out his own emporium, he was interested in the challenge of running ALF's company, and of course Samuel was delighted to see him. to have a direct competition for their son, the other four participants were made of the meeting rooms and all the members stayed with Andy and Mario
“I propose that the new CEO of the company be Mario Benedetti, so it's up to you, shareholders, for a vote” Samuel intervenes before the incredulous look of his son, who couldn't believe he was selling it that way.
Andy trying to keep calm that he did not have and showing some serenity intervenes.
“Well, I have been the CEO of the company for five years, everyone knows due to the periods of personal problems that I have presented, but my management has been faultless, even without my presence the company worked perfectly, you have never had low performance in your actions, then I leave them at your disposal”.
“Well, I've also had good results with one of the company's headquarters, but I would love it if you would let me show you the new projects that I would have planned for the ALF headquarters, I also leave it at your disposal -Mario also intervenes at his favor
There were fourteen members of the board of directors, except for Samuel's participation, although all of them had worked with Andy and had no complaints about his management, he wanted a new air for the company, extending his vote 7 votes for Andy and 7 votes for Mario, leaving the responsibility in the hands of Samuel, to choose who would be the total manager of the company.
Andy knew that on his father's side he could be lost, he held a grudge against him for not carrying his blood that it was logical that he was going to hand over the position to Benedetti, he cannot hide looking at him with contempt, the war between father and son was not something new among the ALFs, and even if he carried his last name, Andy didn't feel like Samuel.
"Well dad, it's in your hands to define who gets the job," he says while raising an eyebrow, and crossing his fingers.
Samuel takes advantage of the situation, he wanted to humiliate his son in front of everyone, but he knew that Raquel would leave his side, however, he would not make it easy for him.
“Well, for me the two are excellent mentors, so they will work as a team for the next six months, whoever shows the best performance will keep the position”.
Andy looks at him with contempt again, but if that was what his father wanted, well, that was going to give him a competition to show that he is the best of all.
“Perfect father, then let the work begin, it will be an amazing few month” Andy responds sarcastically
“Well, thank you very much for the opportunity, Andy, my friend, I hope the best man takes the position” Mario extends his hand, Andy was about to reject it, but he knows that it would be the worst mistake of his life.
The board of directors ends, Andy leaves too stressed, but he knows that he must take on this challenge, the news was worse, when he sees that some workers are removing things from his current office.
“But what are you doing?!” he yells at them.
“Sir, we have orders to change your office to the one on the other floor” when the worker responds, Andy assimilates that Samuel started the game, it would put him in the same position as the newcomer.
