Nathan went through the file. It was the file he got from Mike. It contains the list of companies under Alcantara management. He was elated when he discovered that YALISCO company made it to the list. He also made another discovery. The Alcantaras had 80% shares in YALISCO. He broke into a dry laugh, marveling at the irony of life. By the time he is done with them, they’ll be begging to complete the deal. He smiled when an idea struck him. He quickly went for his phone and placed a call to Elaine. A few minutes later, Elaine showed up in Nathan’s office looking tensed. Sweats had teamed up on her forehead and a part of her face was covered with her hair. “Did you speak to Dory, what did she say?” asked an impatient Elaine. Nathan exhaled and turned to her with a smile. “I think you should take a deep breath too.”Elaine folded her arms across her chest and continued to wonder. Why the hell was Nathan acting as if everything was going according to plan when all things were fall

Dr. Lance stood up and faced the group. “What do you guys think about MC Donald’s idea?” Soon, words of endorsement began to fly around the hall. The club members began to stand up and declare their support for the motion. Nathan also found the idea a good one. It would give them a sense of ownership and save the central committee from the stress of running around to find a fitting venue whenever there was a meeting. Dr. Lance cleared his throat. “Well, it is settled I guess.”“Yes!” They chorused. “Motion accepted.”Nathan got a notification on his phone. He checked it and wanted to step out and place a call but he wouldn’t want to walk out of the meeting. His breakthrough came when Dr. Lance announced a thirty minutes recess. He felt that the given thirty minutes was enough for him to drive back home and complete his quest and then return in time before the meeting continues. Nathan was the first to leave the hall but unknown to him, the recess was not the conventional recess

Frederick Tyson was seated in the living room watching the business news at 8 pm when Kelvin walked in with both his hands plunged inside his pocket. “Good afternoon, Dad.” He greeted and was about to take the staircase leading to his wing when his father cleared his throat loudly. “How was the meeting?”Kelvin turned around with a sigh. He sat next to his father. Fredrick grabbed the remote and lowered the volume. “Alex Alcantara got a backslash from the central committee at the meeting,” Kelvin told his father. The statement provoked a smile on Fredrick’s face. He sat up. “Really?”Kelvin smiled. “A supervision was slated for recess and as the club’s president, he was expected to go with the committee and check out the orphanage during the recess but Alex got into his car and left.”Fredrick hummed. “And what excuse did the brat give? I know he was going to come up with a silly excuse.”“Well, he said he had something to take care of during the recess and he wasn’t aware that t

Nathan was about to drop his pen when Elaine came barging into his office. With a hand on her chest, she turned to stare at the open door and gave an apologetic look. “I’m very sorry sir. I forgot to knock. I was way excited.”Nathan cleared his throat and threw his back against his seat. Elaine who had been driven by panic the whole day was now smiling like a star.She moved to his desk. “The gadgets are here. From YALISCO.” She revealed with a smile. “As I’m speaking to you right now, they are in the waiting room and are offloading the cameras.”Nathan began to fondle the tip of his pen. One phone call to Charleston as Alex Alcantara had succeeded in putting the manager in place.Elaine arched a brow. “Did you speak to Dory because their sudden change of heart wasn’t expected? The manager’s assistant from YALISCO is at my station. He’s insisting to have a word with you before he leaves.” She lowered the pitch of her voice. “He wants to apologize to you.”Nathan gave a half smile. “H

Mike traced his way to Nathan's apartment and when he got to the living room, Nathan was sprawled on the carpet, watching a movie. Before Mike arrived, Nathan had freshened up and had denied his chef's offer to prepare lunch because he was too pissed. Mike settled on the twin couch opposite Nathan. Nathan picked up the remote and turned off the television. He turned to Mike with a sigh. “You should have seen the way those guys messed up my apartment.”“Why the hell is Kelvin on your tail anyway? I understand if he is up against you as Alex but as Nathan, I don’t just get it.” Mike said and shook his head.“Avery Jacobs whom he is so into turned down their proposed marriage alliance. Avery and I are friends in school and anytime Kelvin sees us together, he feels like going insane.” Nathan replied.Mike clenched his jaw. “I see.”Nathan continued. “So during our reunion party, he tried to harass her, and I ended up punching him in the face.”Mike shook his head. “I see more reasons wh
