Chapter 168: David quits…for real

Early Monday morning, David reported at the Saxon group headquarters. The board of directors was already waiting in the conference room. When he entered he noticed that members of the disciplinary committee were also present.

His father had really made good on his words to discipline him. He had barely taken a sit when they started on him.

“Mr. David Saxon we are already aware that you failed to secure the business deal in Eagle country because the offer was given to another company.” Mr. Simon Saxon of the fourth branch and the head of the disciplinary committee spoke sternly, he was clearly unhappy with how things had turned out.

“Explain this matter clearly.” Conrad Saxon of the third branch slammed his hand down on the table.

David did not respond to them because he had no plans to quibble with old men that used their authority to push others around.

“Judging by the blank expression on your face, you have nothing to say, therefore Mr. David Saxon you are to accept whatever decision that the disciplinary committee makes over this matter, i rest my case.” Simon leaned back in a chair.

“Actually i have something to say.” David stood up respectively. People looked at him quizzically including his father.

“Listen David, no amount of pleading is going to get you out of this one. Just serve your punishment and come back stronger.” Robert Saxon whirled around in the office chair from side to side.

“That’s if he can come back. You lost us millions of dollars. You don’t deserve the position that you are in!” Katherine added gasoline to the flames because she saw this as an opportunity to burn her opponent to ashes.

“I quit.” he calmly put down his resignation letter on the table.

David’s words that evoked silence from everyone except Katherine that had long been hoping that David would actually go through with his threat to leave the company.

“Yes.” Out of over excitement, she celebrated a little too loudly, earning frowns and disapproval from the others.

Grandma Saxon raised herself to her feet, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. How had David made such a major decision without alerting her at least. She really thought he had been bluffing and only said he would quit out of anger.

“Davy! What do you mean? Follow me.” The old woman stormed out.

David shrugged and followed after her. She walked to the conference room that was adjacent to the one they were in.

“Grandma before you beat me up, please listen. I am tired of my father using the Saxon group to threaten me. I lost a deal but I have won many more in the past and yet this one erased all of my hard work and dedication. I constantly have to be at odds with my siblings. Lately every time i see father, we trade words like immortal enemies.

I am tired of walking on egg shells because of the company. More than anything, i am a grown man and i cannot stand the disrespectful way in which my father talks to me even when we are in public.”

His tone was calm as he inwardly prayed that she didn’t insist on him staying.

The door opened abruptly. “What are you thinking boy? You go back in there and apologize to those good people or else I’ll fire you for real.” Robert barked

David did not tremble as he once did when he was a boy and he just laughed.

“See what i mean grandma.” his father had proven the point for him.

Grandma Saxon sneered at her son and left, she still had mixed feelings about the issue but her son really did speak to her grandson in an unbecoming manner. She would sit him down for a serious talk about the issue before it grew further.

“Father i quit, i am not going to be a puppet and i am tired of the threats. You did that to Ian and see his life, he hates this company, he is just afraid of admitting it. Good luck with controlling Katherine though cause it looks like she’s all you’ve got left.” He bypassed Robert and entered the elevator.

When he got to the car, Hobi, his assistant hesitated to leave with him as following David meant that his future was uncertain. The man was always making drastic decisions like a teenager on steroids.

“Si…sir what happens to me?” Hobbi clenched his hand to his chest, his heart was pounding relentlessly.

“You can decide to still be my personal assistant or stay back at the company i am sure that the human resource department will find a spot for you.” David entered the car and waited for him to makeup his mind.

Hobbi chewed on his nails, if he went with David then maybe he would help him find another job but if he stayed back Miranda would surely get him fired for not informing her about David’s resignation before hand yet he knew nothing. He chose the former and jumped into the car.

“You have made a wise choice, i hope you know that this means that you are no longer Miranda Saxon’s little spy.” David tapped his shoulders.

Hobbi quivered, he didn’t expect that he’s cover had been blown already. “Sir…how…”

“I am not a fool Hobbi, she is my mother. I have known her longer than you so i knew exactly what you were up to when i saw how you sneaked around.” David narrowed his eyes.

“I promise to be only loyal to you Mr. David.” He sniveled.

He was relieved that he still had a job and David was willing to keep him around despite all that he had done. He made a promise to himself to be the best assistant to David from that point on.

They drove to the other side of town and went to a tall fifty floor storied building.

“DP holdings.” Hobbi read the huge 3D sign post that was positioned near the entrance.

He was surprised to see where they had come. Had David already found another job?

“Welcome sir.” The doorman bowed respectfully.

David walked straight to the head office where he meant a blond haired gentleman.

“Morgan, good morning. Is there anything i should know?” He settled in one of the leather chairs in the open area.

The man named Morgan came from the executive chair and greeted David.

“This is my personal assistant, Hobbi get him settled in, he will be running some of my errands going forth.” David made the introductions.

Morgan’s secretary escorted Hobbi to his place of work leaving the two men to talk.

“Are you sure that it’s okay for you to be here? You said that you didn’t want people to know that you own this company.” Morgan a long time friend turned business manager asked.

“That’s why i am leaving now, let’s talk on the phone.” David left and drove straight to another company that he owned.

He had been just as busy as Phoebe after his rebirth, building his own personal and amassing private funds. In this life, they would not rely on the Saxon power and influence.
