Ten years later.

Landmark City airport.

Many people were rushing in the airport either going in or coming out.

But some people are privileged to be left from this chaos.

Through the vip gate, a man with an outstanding appearance donned in a blue suit with a dozen or so bodyguards surrounding him was walking out.

The man seemed to be talking on the phone.

" Yup, Mom I landed.

Ya, I will come straight to you. Yes, yes my queen I am coming straight to home .

Where else can I go, Mom? Ok bye. Meet you later.

Love you Mumma."

Matthew hung up the phone and the smile on his face disappeared as if it was never there.

He said to the man to next him, John who was also his assistant," You may go straight to the office. I am going to meet Mom. After that I shall to go the William Mansion.

You can update the President yourself about the business negotiation with the Smiths."

" But Boss it will be better if you do this yourself. It will make a good impression on the President and .." But after seeing the face of his boss becoming colder he immediately became silent.

" Remember, I was giving orders not asking for your opinions. You should do what you are asked to and not meddle in my affairs."

Matthew put on his sunglasses and walked towards the exit where their car was waiting for them.

John did not say a word after listening to his scolding because he knew very well that this boss of his, although was only twenty five this year but he loved to keep a long face and a had a fierce temper. Everyone around Matthew knew this fact and everyday they were on pins and needles in fear of angering this cold faced Yama.

After all this man was the only heir to the Williams Conglomerate which was one of the top companies in country I.

Everyone feared power and money. And this man had everything one could dream of power, money , a good background and a loving girlfriend. It was as if everything one wished was given to this man. But what they could do else than lamenting at his great fate, if they wanted these things they could only work hard to improve and become the best version of themselves.

Matthew walked ahead with his group following behind him but he suddenly stopped causing all the men following behind him also to come to a halt. They all looked towards their boss in bewilderment but they did not voice their opinion.

Matthew looked towards the car across the road from where a woman in a professional suit walked out and soon disappeared in the crowd.

He could not see her appearance clearly but that woman felt extremely familiar to him as if he had known her for a long time. But he could not lose his composure in front of his subordinates. So he started walking again as if the one who stopped so abruptly was not him but someone else.

Matthew along with John entered his car and the bodyguards followed into other cars that were parked for them.

After a while, Matthew threw that matter to the back of his head as it was not something important to him. He headed towards her mother's house.

While Matthew was having a meal with his mother, Suzy William, his phone rang interrupting their peaceful meal.

Matthew glanced apologetically towards his mother who was unfazed as if nothing happened. Matthew saw the caller was his father James William and answered the call.

" Didn't I tell you to first come to the office. "

" I just wanted to have a meal with my mother. It has been six months since I have not returned Dad, can you even try to understand me?" John answered with an annoyance in his voice.

" Yes, it is only your Dad who can not understand anything and you are the one who understands everything, na.

You are an adult and have your duties which you have to fulfill whether you are willing or not.

And let's not talk about this. What impression will you as a boss will leave on your subordinates with such an irresponsible behaviour like dumping all works on your assistant, ha? " James spoke in an angry voice from the other side.

" Dad, I only asked John to report the progress and did not dump everything as you said.

And what is the benefit of being a boss if I can't even do things on my own accord." Matthew was grumping as he said these things making his mother laugh.

" Ya ya everything you say is right!!

With great power comes great responsibilities, okay.

I just do not want to argue because you will not understand. With your attitude my company is going to be sold in your hands."

" Dad! You are saying as if I don't work hard for the company.

Well, I am sorry, happy now."

Matthew said unwillingly as his mother was glaring at him.

" Son, you don't understand many things. We are standing in the market still now because of our old foundation. If we do not work hard others will take over us. Many new companies are rising and it will not be long before they catch up to us. Take for example Maple corporation it has entered the market in country I for only two years but it is now competing with old companies like us."

" Hmm" Matthew knew his father was right so he did not say anything.

" Oh, leave everything have a good meal with your mother and instantly come back to the company. " James cut off the call without hearing any reply.

Ofcourse Matthew did not have any opinions, he was happy spending time with his mother having no one to disturb him.
