Fated reborn - Chapter 178: Chapter 178

Luciano's POV.
He nodded with a smile on his face, and as we reached the crowd, I turned to gaze at him, "And what's your name, young man?" I asked.
He hesitated for a sec before replying, "My name is John."
"Ok, John, you're about to make history," I said with a smile on my face. He reciprocated the nice gesture before nodding, "I'll make sure you take all the credits, Alpha Luciano," he said with a wide smile on his face.
That reminds me, those credits Henry was taking and was telling those paparazzi and reporters.
If I see anything that didn't go with my name on those newspapers, I was not going to take it lightly.
I made my way through the crowd, but I made sure I could bring John along too.
The gate was immediately opened for me, and I entered. Inside, the security wanted to stop John, but I told them that he was following me.
I saw some paparazzi and reporters were still inside the compound, but they were not that many.
My eyes widened as I saw Henry being surrounded by them. I know why all this was happening; he had been doing well in meetings and had made up new strategies that even other CEOs gave him thumbs up. For the excellent work he had been doing, but now that he was shifting all the credits to himself, it wasn't good.
This was bad, because if he wants to start his own company, it wouldn't be hard for him to get investors, and the money for building wouldn't be hard, because he could just tell some companies to help him.
I wasn't going to let him use my help as an advantage.
With the way things were going, he would probably surpass my company if he had his own company.
I reached the exit door, only to see Henry smiling for the cameras.
"And without Alpha Luciano, I shouldn't have been able to bring up so many strategies. Alpha Luciano contributed to many of the strategies," Henry said.
He was defending, and he wasn't even taking the credits.
Immediately as I stepped my leg on the first stair, all the paparazzi rushed to me asking me different questions.
"Is it true that you were the main contributor in bringing the game-changing strategies?" A voice from the crowd asked.
I nodded; I couldn't say yes or no because I didn't want to lie, so I just waved. I saw Victor struggling to pass through the gate; when he succeeded, he straightened his suit and walked towards the exit door, where I was standing.
I walked towards him. "It seemed like it took you time?" I said,
"Those paparazzi are annoying," he replied, with a disgusted expression.
Clara walked towards me. Before she could say a word, I asked, "Were you lying? Because he's not even taking any credit". Her eyes lit up in shock and confusion.
"So Alpha Luciano is the mastermind of all the strategies," Henry said, making her more shocked. "Uhhh?" "This was not what he was saying before; he didn't even call your name," Clara said, surprised.
"This guy is a total manipulator." She said, "Thank goodness I wasn't in love with him," she added. Seems like regret is setting in.
But I will know who to believe; Henry isn't even taking any credits, and Clara said he had been taking credits since.
Anyways, let's just forget and go inside. We had much work to do than to answer the questions of these paparazzi.
"Let's go inside," I said. Clara walked past the door, and then Henry and I walked past the door. Immediately as John wanted to pass too, he was held by Victor. "Hey, where do you think you're going?" Victor asked.
I came out, "He's with me," I said. Victor took a glance at Am before letting the guy in.
He started taking pictures as we reached the working base, every worker's attention caught up by their computer screen.
We entered the elevator and pressed the button for the last floor. As it took the four of us up, the space was quiet; the sound was the clicking sound the camera was making.
"Ping" The elevator door shut open, we came out of it, and walked through the hallway.So, "John, this is the peak of this building," I said, smiling. He nodded.
"This company is really big, Alpha Luciano," John said. Clara took a quick glance at him and smiled.
"So sir, I'll come meet you later," Clara said and stopped at her office.
I could see my office. From a distance. We reached my office, and I opened the door. We all walked into it, and John continued with the picturing.
The pictures he's taken today were enough to print newspapers for a decade. But I wasn't done yet; we still had other floors to visit.
Victor sat on his spot: the small sofa that was at the side of the room.
"So, Alpha Luciano, hmm, are we going to visit other floors or have we taken enough pictures for today?" He asked with an unsure expression on his face; he wanted to be sure he was not bothering anyone.
"No, we are still going to other floors; I just wanted you to take pictures of an influential board meeting," I said; his face lit up.
"Wait, you mean the one where I'll take pictures of other influential CEOs?" He asked; he couldn't just hide his happiness.
I nodded, "Yeah, you're correct," I said, and he smiled a satisfied look on his face.
"Where's Henry?" Victor asked, "He's been outside since... Doing what?" Victor said.
"He'll be here at any moment from now," I said with a reassuring smile on my face.
Victor nodded. I walked towards the window and opened it up; I could see Henry walking inside the company's compound.
"What was he doing outside before?" I whispered to myself and continued staring through the window.
"I've arranged them, Alpha Luciano," Clara said, making me turn around to gaze at her.
"Ok, let's proceed with the work of today."
