Obsession and desire

Andy is losing everything, and he is not realizing it

The great day of the final meeting arrived to be able to elect the new and official CEO of the company ALF Y ASOCIADOS, the day long awaited by Andy and Mario, since it would be in that meeting in which the shareholders of the company agreed with the results that they had had for the last six months would give a report. That morning, as usual, Andy had dressed up very well, he had resumed his routines little by little and his countenance was fully recovered, the company that Greta had given him had also been essential for his recovery, so he was impressive as always, At that moment he was sure that despite the absences and the problems he had had, his performance should not have been affected, so with the security that characterized him, Andy enters the meeting with his head held high. Some members of the board were still missing, and his father, Mario for his part, was already sitting on the other side of the meeting table, also very well presented and even more imposing than Andy himself. “Good morning, gentlemen, it's a pleasure that this day has arrived” Andy greets the members of the board who were present, they all also respond to his good morning, while with Mario, they simply give each other a bad look. Little by little they all arrived, and finally Samuel arrived, who oversees debating all the information on the results, the candidates must have already passed their reports at that moment, a job that must have been done with time from the when they were given the option to run for office. “Good morning gentlemen, Mario, son, well we are here together because the great day of voting has arrived to elect the official CEO of our company, who will take full control of the business, and will represent you- Samuel gives them the He greeted all the members of the meeting, and smiled, he was anxious to know the results, Mario had always been his favorite, however deep down he also supported Andy, so at that moment his final decision was only bet on the members of the board” Andy and Mario can only share hateful looks, not only were they competing for a place in the company, but their pride was also at stake, neither of them was going to allow the other to take the

position without having given everything to beat your opponent. Mario had recently won over Andy a lot, even Andy thought that he had also won over Camille, since recently he hadn't heard from her again, and he assumed that he was dating Mario, and that caused him astonishment. “Well gentlemen, on your post there is a folder with the performance of each one of the areas that the gentlemen present here were in charge of, so take the time necessary to review the figures” Samuel points out the information to the shareholders- and in front of You Andy and Mario, there is also a folder with all the information on the performance of the areas that you are not in charge of, I suppose that you should have reviewed that too before passing your report and participating in this meeting. -Samuel points to the folders that are in front of them, he looks at them eager to know the results, because for Samuel what was happening was impartial. This takes Andy by surprise, because with so many emotional things that he had on his mind, he had overlooked the fact that a comparison of his figures with Mario's was also necessary, although he was sure that they must be lower, since he did not doubt of his hard work at the company over the years. As Andy begins to review the figures for the areas Mario oversaw, his face pales and he begins to flip through the pages in disagreement, his eyes darkening, and he can't believe what he's seeing. Apparently, these areas performed 54% higher than the areas he was managing, figures that in his opinion seemed derisory, since such a phenomenon had never occurred in the company, Mario was also looking at the figures. of Andy's areas, he knew that his contribution with the secretary had also helped them to have their notable decrease compared to his, so with an ironic smile, it was clear that this position was already his, because not only Andy was terrified by what he was seeing, but it was also happening to shareholders. After about thirty minutes and after everyone reviewed the folders, the faces were surprised and at the same time confused, because never in the history of the company, Andy had had a poor performance, and his numbers were always positive and higher that of expectations. “Well gentlemen, I think it is convenient that we take a break, and we will return to scrutinize who will be the new CEO according to what you have just reviewed” Samuel addresses those present, he needed a few minutes alone with his son to talk with them. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Mario and the board leave, Andy already knew that his father needed him, but not even he himself was astonished. “What the hell happened Andy?!” Samuel asks him with his eyes full of fury. Deep down he hoped that he would keep his mouth shut as always, but now he did leave it that way, but because of his bad results. “Well, I thought that everything was going well, father. The truth is that I didn't imagine that Mario's area was doing so well”. “It's not about that Andy, it's about the fact that your area yields dropped, that's worse, the dilemma is not that they're doing better there, because if you look at the report with the past statistics, the increases are no more of 4 or 5% but, look at yours, they decreased more than 40%, it is a loss for the company, I think that you should painfully leave the position of CEO of the company”. Andy's face is one of absolute defeat, he felt helpless, and he had absolutely no explanation to define what was happening with his area of the company, so for him, things were said. For his part, during the break, Mario goes out to the company balcony, smokes a cigar, and with a satisfied smile, knows that now that he has ALF in his hands, to take it to decline is a matter of months, he would ask Parker to associate with him, simulating a better business and in a couple of years there would no longer be a shadow of the great company ALF, things were said.
