The Me You Made

" Mrs, I am not understanding. " Lisa asked in confusion.

" I want you to spy on him and report to me whatever that he does. " Lucy announced.

Lisa didn't get this at first and she said in hesitation. " Why on earth do you want to spy on own son ? " she asked.

" Canary is obsessed with women. If he continues with this behavior , the shareholders may not be pleased to have him as their CEO. " Lucy was honest.

After saying this she pulled a business card from her purse and put it on the table.

" If you accept the job , Call me on that number before next week ends. " Lucy said and got up to leave.

Lisa looked at the business card and picked it up. After this she got to leave.

Canary was still with Alexander when Lucy came back.

" Canary, You home and rest. I will watch your father for the night. " She said.

" Okay Mom. Good night. " He said and left.

Wilson drove him to their mansion. It has been long since Canary visited this place. He felt good to be back home.

He was welcomed by the few maids which after he went upstairs to his room.

He had a shower and after went to sleep.

After three days

At Andersons Group...

A general meeting of the shareholders and administraters of the Company was taking place when Lucy entered with Wilson behind her.

They were discussing about the election of the new CEO since they had all received news that their CEO had encountered an accident and he was now in comma.

They all gave in their views until Lucy got up to say something.

" Thank you all for attending this meeting. As one of the biggest shareholders of this Company and the wife to the CEO, I suggest that my son Canary Anderson takes on the Company. " She declared.

" Mrs Anderson, We know that you helped this Company so much when you invested all the River's property into it when we were running bankrupt. But we can't just make your son the CEO. We barely know him. He has never been here since the Company started. " One of the men from the shareholders said.

" Yes. He is right. Your son is just in his early twenties. He cant lead this big company. " Said another woman from the administraters.

" I understand where you are all coming from. " Lucy responded.

" But Canary has been studying from one of the best business schools in the World. And his performance has been excellent for the past four years. If you all don't believe me, I can shoe you all his study reports. " They paid attention while she said this.

" Besides that, he is my son and the true heir of the Andersons family. "

" But the Rivers take part of this Company too. " One of the men said .

" I know that because I am the head of the Rivers family. " She answered.

" Then why don't you take on the position ? " They asked.

" My husband is in a critical condition. And I sk getting old to Lead the Company. " She answered.

" But Canary is too younh too. Then why don't you think about your brother ? He is also a potential heir to the Company. " The man argued.

" My brother has been gone for a while and no one knows his whereabouts. Are we going to wait for him to return for the Company to go forward ? " When Lucy asked they kept silent.

" I know most of you have arguments for this and it's for the good of the Company. " She said. "

" In two weeks time, there will be a Pearls Show fashion competition. " She declared.

" Why don't we leave it in Canary's hands and see his potential ? " She asked.

The men and women looked pleased by her idea. " That is good. Our Company has been losing for the past three years. If we win this Competition, Then Canary will be made the new CEO. " They agreed.

When Lucy returned home that evening Canary was busy on a video game.

" Mom, You are back ? " He asked before looking at her.

She gave her bag to the maid and sat down on the Sofa besides him.

" How dare you play a game after the hustle I have gone through today trying to convince them to make you the CEO ? " she asked.

He put the joypad aside and said.." Mom,Don't force them if they don't want..I am not that interested in taking over. " He said.

" You fool ! " Lucy said and knocked his head hard that he threw the joypad away and touched the knocked spot.

" Mom ? "

" You hsve grown. Stop playing those games and focus on your father's business. Okay ? " Lucy said.

" What do you want me to do that i don't know ? "

" Prepare for the Pearls show

." Lucy declared.

" What the hell is that ? "

" Its a competition held by fashion designers every year. We used to be number one but we have been in the third and fourth position for the past four years. They said if you help them win the competition, They will automatically make you the CEO. " Lucy said.

Canary gave a smug and said. " Mom, Those are small games for me. Wait and see how I make it. "

" We have no time left. So starting from tomorrow, You are reporting for work. " Lucy got up after saying this.

" Deal.." Canary said proudly.

The following day, Canary woke up early, Had a shower and after he wore a narvy blue notch lapel suit with a white shirt inside and a narvy blue necktie. A golden watch , Black brogues and left his hair in curtains. He stood before the mirror and looked at himself.

" Handsome ever ! " He said and after picked his brief case.

When he stepped downstairs the maids who saw him dropped their jaws as he looked very handsome than you.

One of them swallowed hard thinking that she was seeing the handsome god Apollo.

Lucy was in red lace dress which was a pull neck and a body hug with long sleeves stopping right on her knees. She wore black stilettos of about 5 inch.

When she saw her son she smiled.
