Never Judge Chapter 21
Advertisement
After calming Adrianna down the night before Cedric had to leave home earlier than usual in order to make all of his meeting the next day.
The product development director was scheduled to show him the 3 new products they were going to use to relaunch the brand. This meeting would last the whole morning due to the complexity of their plans. After that he would meet with his father at lunch. He knew that meeting would be long as well since the topic of the Elisia Mall project with Island's Inc had its own set of problems.
Since the presentation required all of the development and marketing team to be present Ian and Camilla had set up a camera, microphones, and a speaker from which Cedric could be heard. Camilla would stay in the boardroom with the team members while Ian and Cedric would be at the President's office watching the presentation from his laptop.
Prototypes of the product had been sent to Cedric's office for his inspection and trial.
Due to his desire to remain unknown to the public Cedric and his assistants had to go through impractical and difficult steps just to set up one meeting.
At 10 o'clock sharp the whole team arrived at the boardroom. They had expected to finally meet their president. They were however, disappointed to see Camilla and the set up in place.
"If you are ready you may begin." Camilla told the team.
Cedric was happy with the overall plans and presentation. He particularly liked the prototype they had given him.
"I understand it's a tight schedule but I want this all done in a month." Cedric knew that he should have given his team longer, but the relaunch couldn't wait.
"Sir, we would like to get your approval for a list of endorsers we plan to negotiate with." The marketing director said.

"No need. We will be working with Eric Chan on this." Eric had caused him so much trouble the last time he decided to maximize it.
The girls in the other room all suddenly got excited. They had seen the viral photos of the actor with their co-worker and had planned to ask him how he knew the actor after this morning's meeting. It seemed to them that assistant Cedric was talking to the actor on behalf of Mor Co.
"Sir, based on our budget we can't afford Mr. Chan." The director said with much hesitation.
"Don't worry about the budget, this will be outside of that. Just make sure to have everything prepared in one month. I'll have Eric's assistant contact you directly. You may go now." Cedric said, dismissing everyone.
At Lights Entertainment's CEO's office Ram Abad sat at his desk while Eric lounged on the couch.
"That's odd, Cedric hasn't asked for the news about you two meeting to be taken down." Ram said as he checked his phone. As the owners of the top news and entertainment company Ram had full control over what entertainment news was considered just rumors and what was reported as facts. It was very unlike Cedric, who was usually very low profile, to let something this big stay in circulation.
Eric's phone suddenly buzzed and he sat up from the couch. Cedric was calling him. He showed Ram before eventually picking up.
"Hey little bro!" Eric called all of his younger brother Miguel's friends little bro.
"You're with Ram? Put me on speaker." Cedric said.
"Hey Cedric." Ram greeted over the phone.
"Since Eric decided to have his fun with me at the mall yesterday, he will be the new endorser of Mor Phones when we relaunch in a month." Cedric said.

"That's great Cedric! I'll ask our legal and finance department to draft a contract. I'll give you a big discount." Ram said with a grin.
"No discount, Eric you'll do it for free." Cedric said coldly.
"Oh come on Cedric! My company still needs to turn a profit." Ram complained.
"Just think of it as an exchange. I'm giving your sister Veronica so many projects and paying her so much money, I should get something back in return." Cedric said.
"But that's Veronica's money! She won't even buy me a cup of coffee from Starbucks!" Ram whined.
"Well that's the deal." Cedric said definitively.
"I'll do it." Eric said without even consulting Ram.
"Great. I'll give my assistant your number." Cedric then dropped the call.
When the employees of Lights Entertainment heard that their top actor, Eric Chan, had decided to do an endorsement for free the whole office went into a frenzy. What kind of person could convince someone like him to do something for free?
At Mor Co. Cedric decided to give Camilla a treat and put her in charge of coordinating with Eric Chan. She was beyond ecstatic, she, like every other woman in Mor Co., was a big fan of Eric Chan and now she had his personal number.

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
