Hours have passed since the announcement and he was the talk across the country, more especially in the city. At various Jacksons' companies too.Those who spoke ill about him, in his presence. Those who treated him poorly just because he looked like nobody wanted the world to crumble so they would disappear. Most of them wanted to go back to the previous evening, sleep, and wake up to something else in the news, articles, and the paparazzi outside. How gullible were they when a stranger like him carried himself well? Why didn’t they ever wonder why he was seen only once in a while? Why didn’t they worry about Mr. Roger and his son? Why didn’t they wonder how came he used the executive lift instead of the common one most of the time? The signs were there and they had been silly not to see them. One thing for sure was, if Milton hadn’t passed by in the morning and asked them to continue with their work as always, they would have been at the door begging him to forgive them. Finally

“Thank you, Milton.” Said Natalie. Her voice came out a little bit sexier and cuter than she intended. Tiwari just shook his head. Milton smiled at her, “don’t mention it.” “You are so kind, Milton. I can’t start to appreciate how much you have been of help. My father is safe and so is me.” Natalie continued her gratitude. Tiwari looked at the door where Bryson had disappeared promising to return in a few. If Tiwari had stayed with them for more than ten minutes, he was going to crack or scream bloody murder. Tiwari was getting better at letting Milton take the wheel, and so far, he thought things were okay. He wasn’t mad Milton and Bryson sent someone to look after Natalie’s father. No. It was high time he let Milton fly and soar to the sky so he would reach his potential. He started wrongly, but he didn’t regret it. At least if asked, he would say he hasn’t sold him off. One thing remained constant, Tiwari wasn’t going to let Milton go anywhere alone. No. He was the only one

“Thank you for your hard work.” Milton addressed the team and they bowed respectfully. When they rose to leave, some didn’t meet his eyes. Natalie stayed back and when all of them cleared the boardroom, she turned at Milton excitedly and congratulated him, “that was great. Oh, you are so wonderful.” His welcoming smile sent shivers down her spine, so she jumped at him and hugged him tightly. Milton of course didn’t reciprocate, he just sat there like a statue.When Natalie realized, she pulled away and cleared her throat, stood straight, and informed Milton she would call Mr. Genya straight away and inform him of what happened. “Don’t fret. Follow me to the office.” Milton said. He ignored Natalie’s eyes on him as they headed to his office. Inside the office, they found Aida and Brianna chatting. They left when Milton said, “I and Miss Natalie need a few.” They called Mr. Genya immediately and Natalie briefed him on what they have discussed. Since the construction at Kipindi Rura

Seeing the pictures of Dickson, Milton Jackson didn’t know who to call a fool. Natalie who cheated on him with Dickson or Rickie who hit his brother and took a picture of his broken nose?The ambush, leading to some of his men killed and injured left Rickie Colton desperate.Unluckily, he didn’t think this through throughout. First of all, after he abducted Bryson, Milton didn’t run up and down and rescue him, it was Dickson who helped. And secondly, Milton wasn’t the one who attacked him and saved Troy.If this was a way of Rickie getting something out of Milton Jackson, he had it all wrong and if it were someone else thinking straight, they would have worked with their brother instead of using their brother hoping Milton would take bait. Aida cleared her throat, and Milton thanked her, “you did well, Aida. Thanks.” Miss Aida walked away but not before glancing between Milton and Natalie. She was interested in knowing what Natalie showed him, nonetheless, it wasn’t in her place t

“Didn’t I tell you Troy didn’t snitch on us? Why else would he stoop as low as this only to get the public’s pity?” Bryson asked, shoving the phone back to Milton. It was a picture of Rickie from yesterday at Shiny Bun Hotel. Luckily, Milton’s image wasn’t there since Meehan had acted quickly.Milton agreed. He could hear in Bryson’s voice how important his answer meant when it came to Troy and whether he betrayed them. Bryson enthusiastically said, “thank you.” “Uncle, how are you potatoes?” Milton asked tauntingly. “It is good,” Roger replied without meeting Milton’s eyes. Tiwari and Bryson chuckled lowly.On their way to work, Tiwari informed Milton that he had a meeting with the newly appointed CEO of Jackson Inc. Milton didn’t ask why he was telling him and not Aida. At the office, Aida informed him of his day schedule and then handed him the final reports of the Easts project. It was done. And everyone had already gone through it. And if anyone asked, it was none of Milto
