MY PERFECT BODY GUARD CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: UNFORSEEN PERIL

In the morning, Jim, on his car, headed to the company's board meeting. Jim had called the meeting to discuss a warning regarding Gloria. When he arrived, everyone was already present, and the meeting began.

When he arrived, he found everyone already assembled, and he wasted no time in commencing the discussion.

"I've gathered you all here to address a pressing concern: Gloria's sinister intentions to eliminate me and seize control of our company. The reason for my urgent call is that even if she intends to harm me, I implore you not to let her gain any influence over this corporation. It's my fervent wish that this legacy is passed down to my children and their descendants. I implore all of you to stand with me in combating her as steadfastly as we possibly can."

Cara, one of the shareholders, raised her hand and inquired, "May I seek clarification on a few points?" Jim welcomed her questions, replying, "Of course, go ahead."

Cara voiced her concerns, "If we follow your plan and battle Gloria to secure the company for your daughter, Linda, once she finishes her education and gains business acumen, there's a possibility that when she marries a man, she might take on his name. This would make her husband the head of the company or, shall we say, the owner. In that scenario, we might not have a clear understanding of our roles in this company. How do you address this potential situation?"

Jim responded firmly, "What my daughter chooses to do shouldn't be your primary concern. It's important to remember that I own 45% of this company, which essentially makes me the principal owner. Therefore, she's the only heir I have, and it's only natural that she continues my legacy."

Clara raised a valid point, expressing her doubt, "But, Mr. Jim, she's just 18, and she's a young woman. How can you expect us to entrust the future of this company to her? She might appear fragile, and it's evident that you've been protective of her since birth."

Jim defended his daughter, stating, "You may not fully grasp the strength she possesses. Growing up without a mother has made her one of the strongest individuals you'll ever meet, and I have absolute trust in her abilities."

Clara, however, didn't hold back, expressing her perspective, "You could have remarried and had another wife, giving you a son. Instead, you chose to remain loyal to the memory of a departed person."

Sayone word about my wife and it will be the last Jim said 

Clara stood up saying, well my fellow boards of directors I agree to have said your mind. Linda can't take us anywhere in this company we have the right to vote of the next heir who's meant to be a boy Clara said

Jim, taken aback, gazed at Clara and then at the entire board seated in the room. Suspicion crept into his voice as he remarked, "Gloria has infiltrated your minds as well, hasn't she? She's managed to manipulate all of you, hasn't she?"

With a sense of dread settling in as he observed the unanimous opposition from the board, Jim felt an overwhelming fear and dizziness. He stood up abruptly and swiftly left the meeting room. His departure was immediate, and he entered his waiting car as the driver sped him away, leaving behind a tense and divided board of directors.

As Jim reached for his phone to make a call, he quickly realized that the driver was steering the car in the wrong direction. Concerned, he spoke up, "Hey, this isn't the road to my house." However, the driver continued driving, eventually arriving at a warehouse where the gates closed promptly as they entered, further deepening Jim's unease.

Jim's fear escalated as he spotted masked men, armed with guns, closing in on his car. Desperation compelled him to repeatedly press the bodyguard communication device, frantically uttering, "Client in danger," but there was no response.

Amidst the mounting tension, his eyes widened in horror as Gloria emerged from the shadows, steadily advancing towards his vehicle. The situation had taken a perilous turn.
