Levi grinned and replied, “Have I ever said I am not? I remember telling you a long time ago that I own the Morris Group! Oh, by the way, you look gorgeous today.”
Boom!
Levi’s definitive reply was another huge blow to Iris, whose mind went blank, as if she had just been struck by lightning.
She could not believe that the very first person to be eliminated from her consideration was actually the boss!
Levi? Our mysterious boss?
It was entirely unimaginable to Iris, who was truly shook to the core.
It felt as unreal as a dream to her.
However, things started to make sense to her once she cleared her mind and thought about it.
Throughout that period of time, it was always Levi who saved the day whenever the Morris Group encountered difficulties.
Iris had assumed that Levi got those instructions from the boss, but little did she know that he was the boss himself!
Suddenly, she was able to piece the details together.
The boss of Morris Group had helped Zoey time after time, including buying the company at the auction for her and clearing any obstacles that were in her way.
He had basically made sure that Zoey was able to progress smoothly without any difficulties.
Who else, other than Levi, would have done all of those?
The various clues had all pointed to Levi being the mysterious boss!
Other than him, no one else would be able to accomplish all that he had.
It was Iris who had jumped to conclusions and ruled out Levi right from the start.
Besides, Neil had not lied to them.
What he told them was the truth.
The boss was single and also an employee…
Iris was unwilling to accept the reality as it was a world of difference from her original expectations.
How could it be Levi!
All her hopes were dashed.
Iris had done so much to impress the boss with the hope that their meeting would be the start of a beautiful fairy-tale.
In the end, that person was Levi!
The man of her dreams was her best friend’s darling!
Just then, Levi, who was still at the microphone, let out a chuckle as he noticed the stunned faces of everyone present. “Guys, please don’t be too shocked. It might be easier for everyone to process it if you think about these two points. First, the fact that I was able to establish Levi Group and succeeded under unfavorable circumstances was a testament to my abilities. Second, the reason for the change in name of the company to Morris Group was in remembrance of my best friend, Morris Atkinson.”
Everyone quickly grasped the situation after Levi’s enlightenment.
Why else would the company suddenly change its name from Levi Group to Morris Group?
Obviously, it had to be Levi’s doing!
Almost everyone’s faces were flushed red with embarrassment after recalling themselves voting for Levi to be fired previously.
And it turned out that he was their boss!
“Don’t worry, I am very open-minded and won’t bear grudges. Nothing else matters to me as long as you give your best at work and uphold high ethical standards.”
The employees let out a huge sigh of relief simultaneously upon hearing that.
“Everyone, let’s cheers to Morris Group’s bright future!” The boss beamed as he raised his wine glass.
After Levi finished his speech and went off stage, Iris was the only person who was still behaving awkwardly as she brooded over how she was going to face Zoey.
“Ms. Anabelle, please come over for a moment, I would like to have a word with you!” Levi called out to Iris.
