After having my meal I took my phone,sat on the couch and made myself comfortable as I was browsing through my old messages.If I suspect it correctly I know that Grace may try to contact me.I'm not sure she was working that day at Mr. Gabriel's house the day they drove me out. I don't have her number to contact her but I'm sure she will have her ways to text me.All the messages that I received from unknown numbers were starting from why haven't you returned?Gosh! Natalia can't you just give up.I got tired at one point but a message caught my attention."Thomas, how are you?" I could see the beginning of the message so I opened it."Thomas how are you?I heard what happened when I came to work two days later after the incident and I tried calling with my sister's number and the number got blocked after my first call. I hope you get this message in good health. Please take care of yourself and don't fail to contact me if you need any help...Grace." The text message ended.The

Waking up the next morning knowing that everything was going according to my plan, I felt suddenly rejuvenated with a bright smile on my face. I was still that exhausted no doubt but the happiness and accomplishment I just got made me extremely happy that I was sure I wanted to go to work today.At least now I was sure that I would be able to accomplish something before the 6 months that Oliver gave me expired.I don't think I want to see Oliver's nasty side because he acts braze at times.Even though CEO Derrick told me to stay at home I needed to go see him.I got up from the bed, ran myself a bath and took a really long refreshing bath. I wasn't actually going to work. I just wanted to go to work and see CEO Derrick Paul and celebrate our little victory and maybe come back home.This was worth celebrating given the sleepless nights I had.I stepped out of the bathtub after what felt like the most refreshing bath I have ever had.I wiped my body with a towel ,took a rob

The dinner meeting ended and I was still in shock.It was about 7 p.m. when we finished greeting everyone and headed into our CEO Derrick Paul car.Even as we got into the car I was still thinking,I was sitting with CEO Derrick Paul in the back seat."Are you okay Thomas?" CEO Derrick Paul asked and my attention turned to him."Why did you do that?" I questioned.CEO Derrick had already let me know before we came to the dinner meeting that the men that were at the dinner meeting were their shareholders and important people who had their own companies that wanted to invest in us.These are important men and he can't retract his words if he wanted to."Because I know it's the best thing to do for the company." He replied."But you never informed me about this ,we were together two days ago and you never informed me even before we left for the dinner meeting." I said."Thomas, didn't I tell you that I wanted to retire?" He asked nonchalantly."But that doesn't mean you have to do that so

Natalia's POV;For twenty minutes I sat at my office desk looking over the files that my secretary had submitted to me.I furrowed my brow as I reviewed the file.What does all this nonsense mean?I can't even understand a single word written down in this file and I can't just approve of it because the last one that I approved of failed woefully and the backlash was too stressful to deal with.My Father yelled at me like crazy and has been giving me silent treatment since then.It wasn't my fault but the fault of that stupid stockbroker I hired.He did such a lousy job at finding companies to invest in that my Father's company lost a lot of money and I was blamed for it.The only reason I was still here was because of the good resources I brought in the past.Now it wasn't the same.I flipped through the pages of the file. I cannot even understand a single thing so I don't know what I was looking for to begin with.I have already fired about 5 stockbrokers for giving me the wrong ite

The phone rang until finally Barke answered. "My love, have you been well?" Barke asked. "No, I am upset because my Dad just scolded me because I spent a little money." I pouted. "You need to be more understanding darling, don't you know that your company's shares are falling ,your Dad is just taking the right precaution." Barke told me and I sighed. "I just wanted to get back to normal quickly, I am tired of this." I huffed. "Don't worry it's just a matter of time and everything will be alright..that said you heard from your ex?" Barke asked. "No ." I grumpily replied. "That's right I called you because I had a business idea and I needed some funds. Are you interested to hear about it?" Barke asked. My ears perked up in interest at the mention of a business idea. Barke was intelligent so I doubt that anything he does will fail. Barke told me the details of the business idea he has and told me the amount I should send to him. My father had already informed me that there was
