Shak:Sincere is not playing! He’s got everybody sitting down like we at school and shit! They have no idea what’s about to hit them. LOL!
I simpered at his message and shook my head.
“It’s showtime,” Oblique announced, drawing my attention. I looked out of the window and saw Lennox standing at the door. Sincere told me once the time came, he would send Lennox to come and get me. I also noticed his stepson, Aaron, was standing beside him with a smile on his face.
This nigga just liked me for no reason!
“Let’s go,” I said to Oblique.
“Let me get the door for you, boss,” Oblique said, smiling widely at me. I laughed, but he was dead ass serious about it too. I sat back and waited for him to open the door for me.
“Boss,” he greeted me, bowing like a touched ass nigga. All I could do was chuckle.
I buttoned up my tailored suit jacket and walked over to Lennox. He had a look of appreciation on his face as he took in my fit. I was going all out tonight. A lot of mothafuckers inside weren’t gonna recognize me when they saw me, and that was what I wanted!
As we walked through the doors, I took a look around, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone, but she wasn’t there.
I rolled my shoulders back and lifted my head as Lennox opened the door to the grand ballroom.
Just like Shakur said, everyone was sitting at tables chatting but stopped when they saw me.
Even my pops had to do a double-take when he saw him. As expected, he was seated with Viper and Sony. I winked at Orlando, knowing that was gonna ruffle his feathers, and continued on my way toward the front of the room. Sincere was seated at the top table, and he smiled when he saw me.
Oblique went over to where Shakur and Trini were seated. I noticed Lennox and Aaron take a seat not too far from them too.
The room was so silent that you could hear a mouse pissing on cotton! I almost froze up but kept my composure and eyes on Sincere.
When I finally made it to where he was sitting, he stood to his feet and shook my hand.
“I remember when I used to look like that in a suit,” he said, making me laugh. Again, the room remained silent, but I didn’t focus on that.
Sincere patted my shoulder and stepped around me to address the room.
“I’m sure everyone in this room already knows who Havoc is,” he said, taking a break to look around the room before continuing. “I don’t even need to introduce him, but I will for the purpose of this meeting.”
He then turned to look at me and said, “Meet your new boss.”
I swear every mouth in the room dropped open.
“Effective immediately, Havoc will be taking my place. All this shit is now his.”
Murmurs started just like I expected, but I kept my mouth closed.
“Now, my choice is final, and it’s not up for debate,” Sincere said, still the room remained deathly silent.
“If you have a fucking problem with it, you know where the door is,” Sincere added.
Shakur’s stupid ass jumped up to his feet and started pointing at the exit like an air stewardess.
At that moment, I looked over to where my dad was sitting. He had this perplexed look on his face while Viper and Sony looked like they were about to pass the fuck out.
But what I wasn’t expecting was for Orlando to hop up to his feet and start clapping.
“Yes! That’s my son!!” he yelled and danced, just drawing attention to himself. Sincere looked at him like he was crazy.
Funny how now a nigga was his son!
He then sat back down and sipped from his drink while continuing to smile hard as hell.
