Chapter – 29
The President
Byron stood apart from other wealthy individuals, displaying a unique demeanor. His life lacked tragic encounters; his parents were alive and still shared a loving bond. He grew up in a life of luxury and indulgence. For five years, Athena had been a part of his life. She had grown accustomed to his apathy and domineering disposition in daily life, as well as his resolute determination and ruthless behavior in the business realm. With the exception of Freya, no one held sway over him. Strictly speaking, Athena hardly believed Freya could influence him. Following a car accident, Freya left Byron and married into the royal family. Although Byron found a replacement, he did not seek out Freya. Athena had witnessed various facets of Byron, yet his current malevolence was unfamiliar to her. She averted her gaze as she noticed Byron’s slightly rumpled shirt, evidence of sleep. When he looked at Athena, his handsome face radiated an unfamiliar sense of arrogance.
“What’s troubling you?” Athena inquired earnestly. Byron’s expression momentarily froze before turning into a rapid ugliness.
“What have you told him about me?” Byron demanded. Upon meeting him, Gabe had felt the urge to confront him and had mentioned coercive actions towards Athena.
“Nothing!” Athena retorted. She walked to the bedroom and picked up her phone, noticing it was in airplane mode. She knew who was behind this. After disabling airplane mode, she hesitated briefly before sending a message to Gabe.
“Gabe, I apologize for today’s incident. I hope you’re unharmed. Feel free to head back. I’ll make it up to you when I have the chance.”
Gabe didn’t respond. Byron had a knack for disappointing people. Athena feared she might lose Gabe’s friendship.
“Let’s have a conversation,” Byron entered and settled onto the couch opposite Athena.
Athena observed him and inquired, “What’s on your mind?”
“You’re highly competent at work,” Byron stated gravely. “Imbe Group plans to initiate an energy project and establish a new energy company. I intend to entrust it to you.”
Athena was taken aback. “What did you just say?” she asked.
“I said I want you to lead the energy company as its president,” Byron answered with seriousness.
The offer was alluring, but Athena understood the price she’d have to pay for such a tempting opportunity.
“No,” she declined promptly. While she desired a successful career, her circumstances were different now. She had to leave Byron for the sake of her child. If Byron discovered the child’s existence, she wouldn’t be able to protect them.
“Thea, don’t be angry with me,” Byron used her nickname, attempting to defuse the situation. Seeing Byron on the verge of anger, Athena adjusted her stance.
“Alright, I’ll consider it,” she acquiesced.
“How long will your consideration take?” Byron queried.
“Let’s discuss it once we return to Girard City,” Athena replied half-heartedly.
Byron seemed satisfied. The position of president within the energy company was coveted by many, and Byron believed Athena wouldn’t reject it. During their separation, Byron had observed Athena’s ambition in her actions. A twenty-million-dollar offer and a villa couldn’t satiate her aspirations. Yet, the presidency of the energy company held a distinct allure.
“Join me for dinner,” Byron invited.
“No,” Athena declined. “I have work.”
Byron’s brows furrowed. After contemplating, he realized he couldn’t coerce Athena further; she possessed an unyielding stubbornness.
“Do you prefer a vegetable-based meal?” Byron asked, recalling Gabe’s earlier comment.
