The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf

CHAPTER 28 - WRIGHT'S REQUEST

Riona and Wright walked into Riona’s office. They are through with the meeting.

“I want to thank you once again for being there in the meeting, dad,” Riona said.

She went to sit on her chair while Wright sat on the visitors' chair right in front of her.

“I don’t see the need of my presence in that meeting Rio. It is something you and Cindy can easily

handle” Wright said.

“Dad, your contributions are just what I needed there. I wonder what I would have done without you”

Riona replied.

“I barely spoke a word all through girl” Wright retorted.

Wright is right. All through the meeting, he never really said anything after he had welcomed the

representatives. In fact, there was not much to discuss in the meeting as it was only for Riona to

communicate Rennet’s Aid's acceptance of their proposal to take over Rennet’s Aid's ongoing project

after the five years is exhausted. Anyway, Wright felt pride as a fulfilled father seeing his daughter

doing exceedingly great in her field as he watch Riona take control of the meeting.

“Dad, I want you to be a part of this, and I felt happy seeing you there, seated right next to me,” Riona

said.

“Me too. I must confess that you made me proud in that conference room” Wright admitted.

“I think we should celebrate that. What do you think?” Riona asked.

“Celebrate?” Wright was confused.

“Yes. Cindy and I had decided that we would have some sit out to celebrate our feat today” Riona

announced.

“Is there a need to?” Wright asked. “You have on numerous occasions achieved greater feats than this

one”

“You are right you know. I have achieved even greater things than this one. But this would be the first

that I would have you participate in. See, I don’t know how you see it, but this is not what that can just

be relinquished to the corner as nothing” Riona responded.

“If that is the case, then I must say that I am so glad to be a part of this” Wright said.

“So after we are done with the discussions, we would all head out for a glass of wine to celebrate

today,” Riona said.

“Good” Wright agreed to Riona's plan.

“I want to discuss Rennet Aid” Wright began.

“What about Rennet Aid dad?” Riona asked.

“I don’t like the fact that it is resting squarely on your shoulders,” Wright said.

“Thanks for thinking about me, but the truth is I am not complaining. I admit that it is a tedious task

especially since it has to deal with humans but so far so good, I have been managing just fine” Riona

said.

“No matter how you try to look at it, the fact remains that you need an extra hand to help with this”

Wright said.

“I already have Cindy. She is qualified and capable” Riona replied.

“Yes, she is. But she is but only a worker. You need someone in the management too” Wright said.

Riona immediately objected to her dad’s suggestion “No dad, we have already discussed this. I am

okay with you controlling things from the outside. I would not add you or The Knights-Style to the

management of Rennet Aid”.

“I am not talking about me or my company here, Rio,” Wright said.

“Whosoever or whatsoever you are talking of, the fact remains that for now, I need no co-manager. And

I promise you that once I do, you will be the first to know” Riona said.

“I insist, Rio,” Wright said.

“Dad” Riona called.

“Yes Rio, I do. You will have to walk with someone. Very soon, you will go to college, and then what

happens?” Wright asked.

“Dad, even when I left Rennet Aid for over a year, it still went on just fine. I already told you that Cindy

is up to the task and sincerely, sometimes I feel that you don’t see her for what she is worth. This I think

has made you make so many uninformed decisions in life” Riona said.

“Let’s not deviate from the main issue here. Riley would be joining you as a co-manager in Rennet Aid”

Wright announced.

Riona was shocked at the announcement “Riley”

“Yes, Riley. She is family and qualifies to be a part of this” Wright replied.

“No, I don’t deny that she is family. But I am sorry Rennet Aid goes beyond family” Riley replied.

“What does that mean?” Wright asked.

“You said it yourself, dad. Very soon I would be off to college and what about Riley, won’t she also go to

college?” Riona asked.

“Riley is joining you and that is final,” Wright said.

“No, she is not. Earlier on, you requested that I allow De Knights Style to partner with us on our

upcoming project, and even though that is not how Rennet Aid operates, I yielded to your request. But

this time around, I would not do it as you want. I run this organization dad, I, and mum. And for mum, I

have put in my whole life to it and I would not just sit by and allow someone that knows nothing about

all our sacrifices to come and ruin it all for me” Riona said.

“That somebody is your sister Rio” Wright flared.

“Yes dad, she is my sister but only on the papers” Riona responded.

“You are trying to make this difficult Rio, but I promise you that I would see to the realization of my

request,” Wright said.

“But you can’t, dad,” Riona said.

Riona sounded so sure when she had said that wright would not be able to enforce his will and this

made Wright wonder what could make her so confident.

“And what is that supposed to mean?” Wright asked.

“Okay, dad. I think it is time to explain the organization of Rennet Aid to you because you are certainly

mixing things up” Riona began.

Wright was becoming impatient “Go on, I am listening”

“I am the sole signatory of Rennet Aid. What this means is that without my signature, no decision can novelbin

be taken on Rennet Aid. So I will need to vent Riley’s admission into the organization” Riona

announced.

“And I am your guardian baby girl. I can still make some major decisions without your permission if I

can show that it is for your well-being” Wright smiled.

“You can dad but not in the case of Rennet Aid” Riona announced.

Wright was curious “Why not in this case?”

“All that power belongs to Cindy. She is the only one that can veto my decisions over here. She stands

in loco parentis in this case” Riona said.

“Really?” Wright asked.

By now, Wright was so angry with himself for not trying to know what his power is before coming to

exercise authority in Rennet Aid. When Evolette was alive, Wright knew absolutely nothing about the

management of Rennet Aid. It was only after the demise of Evolette that he had taking up the mandate

of guiding Riona on the parts to take when it comes to Rennet Aid.

“That is how it is, dad,” Riona said.

“I am sorry I never knew of that. But can you please make Riley work here with you? This is a family

business and I would not want to make her feel left out” Wright pleaded.

“I get you dad but you already know that I don’t do sentiments in business especially when it has to do

with the welfare of a thousand and one kids. Rennet Aid is a multi-million dollars organization. Now let’s

be truthful with ourselves. Would Riley be able to handle such? Even if she is to enter which I definitely

will not allow for such to happen, she would have to start from low and not right from the top” Riona

said.

“You are right Riona even though you were too blunt. But why can’t you just accept her as your sister,

she has been nothing but nice to you?” Wright asked.

“That is what they let you see dad. Or maybe we should not go on with this issue. I have already

planned that once you have a child with Maeve, she would be joining Rennet Aid” Riona said.

Wright chuckles “And what makes you think that it would be a she?”

“Let’s say it is because I want a little baby sister,” Riona said.
