Chapter 17 - THE DIFFRENT SIDE

Chapter: The Day The World Saw A Different Side Of Kiefer

The next morning, the world woke up to another busy day.

News channels were talking about the world's biggest company.

The three legendary founders — Kiefer Waston, Lily, and Rose — were known everywhere.

People admired their intelligence.

They admired their success.

They admired how they built an empire from nothing.

But nobody knew the real them.

Nobody knew about the silly arguments.

Nobody knew about Rose's endless jokes.

Nobody knew about Lily secretly joining Rose's chaos.

And nobody knew that the most serious CEO in the world could laugh like a normal person.

Except Jay.

After the dinner, Jay couldn't stop thinking about the three of them.

She looked at the teddy bear sitting on her shelf.

A small smile appeared on her face.

"It really was a different day..."

She remembered how Kiefer laughed.

How he listened to everyone.

How he treated Rose and Lily not like business partners...

but like family.

Meanwhile, at the company headquarters...

Thousands of employees were already working.

The building was as busy as ever.

But something unusual happened.

Kiefer walked into the office without his usual serious expression.

An employee noticed.

"Good morning, Mr. Waston."

Kiefer smiled.

"Good morning. How is your project going?"

The employee looked surprised.

Usually, Kiefer was polite, but today he seemed happier.

Another employee whispered:

"Did something happen?"

"I don't know. He looks different."

Before anyone could answer...

Rose entered the main hall.

"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!"

Everyone laughed.

"Good morning, Miss Rose."

Rose walked beside Kiefer.

"See? Everyone is happy because of me."

Kiefer looked at her.

"Everyone is happy because they are working in a good environment."

Rose crossed her arms.

"You always take credit away from my jokes."

Lily arrived behind them.

"Because your jokes are dangerous."

Rose looked shocked.

"My jokes are art."

Kiefer and Lily both laughed.

The employees watched them.

They loved seeing moments like this.

Because it reminded them that their CEOs were not unreachable people.

They were humans.

Later that day, a huge company event was announced.

It was a celebration for employees and their families.

Kiefer had personally planned it.

When the announcement came, everyone was excited.

"The CEO arranged a family event?"

"Not just for executives?"

"For everyone?"

That was what made the company different.

Kiefer believed the company belonged to every employee.

Not just the founders.

That evening, Jay received another invitation.

This time, it was not from Kiefer, Lily, or Rose directly.

It was from the company.

"Employee Family Day Celebration — Special Guest Invitation."

Jay was confused.

"Why would they invite me?"

She almost ignored it.

But then she remembered the amusement park.

The laughter.

The kindness.

And Kiefer.

So she decided to go.

The next day, Jay arrived at the event.

She was surprised by what she saw.

The company's huge CEO area was transformed into a celebration place.

Employees were laughing with their families.

Children were playing.

Food stalls were everywhere.

And then she saw something unbelievable.

Kiefer Waston was helping serve food.

Jay stopped.

The world's most powerful CEO...

was serving food to employees.

She walked closer.

"Kiefer?"

He turned around.

"Oh, Jay. You came."

She looked around.

"You are helping here?"

Kiefer smiled.

"Why not?"

"But you are the CEO."

Kiefer looked at the employees around him.

"And they are the reason this company exists."

Jay became quiet.

She finally understood.

Kiefer didn't treat people well because he had to.

He did it because that was who he was.

Then Rose suddenly appeared.

"Jay! Come quickly!"

Jay looked confused.

"What happened?"

Rose pointed toward Kiefer.

"I need your help."

"My help with what?"

Rose smiled mischievously.

"Making Kiefer participate in a game."

Kiefer immediately looked worried.

"No."

Lily appeared.

"Yes."

"Why are both of you against me?"

"Because," Rose said, "today you are not the CEO."

She smiled.

"Today you are just Kiefer."

Jay laughed.

And for the first time...

Kiefer realized something.

He wasn't trying to avoid these moments anymore.

He actually enjoyed them.

Especially when Jay was there.

As the event continued, pictures were taken.

Employees laughed.

Families celebrated.

And one photo quietly became everyone's favorite.

A picture of Kiefer, Lily, Rose, and Jay smiling together.

Not as powerful people.

Not as CEOs.

Just as four people sharing a beautiful moment.

And somewhere inside the company...

A new story was beginning.
