Nathan's POVNicholas narrowed his eyes at Nathan, saying, "Last I checked. You did this out of jealousy towards Rivers Estates...Samuel had the deal under control. But you simply had to let your ego get involved..." Nicholas accused.Ego? What the hell did ego have to do with breaking the deal? It was a poor transaction from the start, and he blamed Samuel for failing to notice it. "Well, the last time I checked, I was the CEO and President of Hayes Holdings, not Samuel. I make the final decision, not Samuel or Scott! So the next time you intend to confront Scott, perhaps you should do your homework on who runs the show, asshole!" Nathan gritted between his teeth.Nicholas smirked, and Nathan did all in his power not to Punch the man's face in order to take that smirk away. If self control was a person, he was that person." It still does not change the fact that you broke a deal with us! A deal that was already in motion before you came in. I’ll make sure that the whole country kno

Elton Ross, POV Rivers Estates was far more significantly better than Solace Enterprises. Even Ross construction was considerably superior to the Solace operation, Elton thought as he entered the building. He hadn't given up on Project 100 and was actually at Solace Enterprise to check out his rival and encourage the CEO not to accept any deals from Hayes Holdings. If Hayes Holdings was going to take Rivers Estates out of the project, it was very likely that they would go with the company that finished in second place in the competitive bid. Surprisingly, Solace Enterprise, with its limited resources, had submitted a better proposal, but Rivers Estates won due to its name and reputation in the sector.That was what they wanted others to know. The only reason why Rivers Estates had won that bid was because he had offered some huge incentives to some decision makers in Hayes Holdings and right now, they were failing him.He sighed and tucked the envelope he was holding, under his ar

Nathan's POVNathan awoke that morning, feeling ill. He had no idea how he had developed a fever throughout the night, and as he rolled to the edge of the bed, every inch of his body ached. It was as if he had been hit by a trailer carrying a truck load of goods. Getting out of bed had never seemed like a big effort until that morning. He took in a deep breath as he closed his eyes to allow the wave of dizziness to subside. After finally getting out of bed, Nathan headed straight to the restroom and peered at his reflection in the mirror. He looked like hell.Nathan's hair stuck in different directions. His eyes were somewhat puffy, his face appeared pale, and his top lip was chapped. What the hell? he wondered as he stared at himself in the mirror.He looked more like a ghost than a human at the moment.Nathan sighed as he opened the cabinet filled with containers, at the top.He was confident that Jane had stocked up a regular supply of pain relief medication, so he chose one of

Scott's POV"I'm looking at a long-term relationship between the two companies, so you'll have to subsidize your products to make it easier for us to continue with your company after the first distribution." He reasoned."Would that be okay with you?" Scott questioned the man standing in front of him.He had heard the man's proposal of being the distribution company for the next gym business proposal and like everyone in the room, he was pleased. The company was far better than the others who had presented before him. He only had this slight problem and didn't know how Nathan would take it if Scott presented an expensive budget to him. Not like money was an issue.Nathan was overjoyed when he told him that he was finally ready to launch the small chain business project and that he would start by building gyms across the country.One of the reasons why Nathan was glad is that Scott would no longer need to fly outside of the nation to Tokyo. He still didn't understand why Nathan was up

Nathan's POV"Can you stop shaking your leg?" Scott questioned him quietly, eyeing his leg.Nathan sighed. He was quite tense, and his body was reacting to the circumstances. There was nothing anyone would tell him now that could make him less tensed. His head felt like it was about to explode at any moment, and his heart rate had surely increased, threatening to go over.He had tried calling David Lakewood several times, but the calls always went to voicemail. He was unable to leave a voicemail other than 'call me when you get this message'. His mind raced with ideas for how he could defend David in the emergency meeting.But then his heart began to question whether David Lakewood was guilty, as alleged. Surely it was the media and public opinions that the board would look at. He couldn't support the man if he hadn't heard anything from him."Please stop, Nathan. You are making me worry." Scott mumbled, resting a palm on his thigh to halt his leg movement.Nathan breathed deeply. "I
