"Thank you so much for your attention and concern, Doc. Astrid." He said as he shook hands with her. Soon, he was done with the meeting, he turned out of the office with a smile on his face. Dr. Astrid's face looked so reviving, she must have felt a sense of ease settle on her chest, she was able to assist the fastest rising leader of all times, her cheeks lightened as she smiled. "I'll habe to take my leave doctor." Kendrick said as he walked towards the exit door. Out in the receptionist office, two of his guards manned the hallway, they lowered their heads when he walked out of the office. "It was indeed a pleasure to have you here sir." Dr. Astrid replied in a calm tone as she escorted him to the main entrance, but then when they got to the exit, Kendrick paused and turned to her again. "Please have this Ma… a token for your time and attention." And this cheque… use it to rehabilitate this medical facility to your taste." He said as he handed her a c
As he reached his door, he stretched out to the doorknob, and it gave way with a soft click. Moving gently into the room, a heaviness settled over him, prompting the desire for a cool bath. The bathroom and library had always been his sanctuaries; he spent his days trying to fix himself and his nights trying to fill his brain. Stepping into the bathroom, he allowed the water to envelop him in a soothing embrace. It poured over him in a steady stream, rolling down his body, invigorating his veins, and calming his mind. Soon, he was done with the bathing so he stepped out, looking refreshed and revamped, his body enveloped in a stream of refreshment, the air in the room softened as it brushed against his face. He knew he needed to eat something, but then he had all he needed in his refrigerator, so he walked towards it pulled out two packs of the sealed Chili Con Carne, and emptied them into his meal platter, and chewed the crunchy pieces slowly. He leaned on the sofa, picking e
As the customized Bugatti Chiron came to a stop, Evelyn's eyes widened in awe. "Oh my goodness, that's an exquisite ride you have there!" she exclaimed, her gaze fixed on the car's shimmering body. She sauntered closer, her heels clicking on the pavement, to inspect the vehicle more intimately. She strolled closer to the man that accompanied the car, and said, "Tell me more about this ride." The man beamed with pride as Evelyn approached. "Yes, ma'am, this is a one-of-a-kind Bugatti Chiron, valued at a staggering $5 million," he said, gesturing to the door. "You'll notice it features multi-layered bullet-resistant glass and a reinforced body." Kendrick smiled graciously, his eyes gleaming with pleasure. "Impressive," he said, his voice low and appreciative. "And what about its performance?" he asked, his curiosity piqued. The man smiled. "Sir, this beauty can reach a top speed of 304 mph, with a mixed fuel consumption of 22.5 L/100 km, or 12.55 mpg imperial and 10.45
Evelyn had rushed to post the pictures on her Quidchat page and tagged him on it, that wasn't the bitter part of it. To make it worse, she attached a dismal writing to it; "AND I DECIDED TO BUY A GIFT FOR MY POOR LITTLE BROTHER". "I mean what would that mean?" Kendrick asked as he approached her, but then she laughed hysterically. Kendrick's face contorted when he swiped up and read through the comments, annoyance got the better half of him when he saw her friends making jest of him. His eyes narrowed after reading them. He raised his face gently, his eyes flushed with anger, he couldn't imagine what had made her do a thing like that, so he asked again. "Why did you get to the extent of doing this, Evelyn?" His heart heaving, but his voice low and calm. But again, she stood up from her seat, the sound of her laughter filling the room. "What exactly are you angry about? ….Are you already feeling ashamed that I called you my poor brother? Won't it be worse after the family's ge
"How do you expect me to do that for you Stelcy?... I mean, what made you post a thing like that to the Internet in the first place?" Kendrick asked, but Evelyn couldn't say a thing, she stammered as she tried to explain."I.. I didn't do." she stuttered, but her words trailed off when she saw a notification pop up on her screen. She swiped through and her eyes widened instantly. "Your account has been temporarily suspendedWe've determined that your account has violated our community guidelines or terms of service. We're committed to keeping Instagram a safe and supportive community, and we take these violations seriously…""What is this?..!! Her eyes widened in horror as she yelled, then she stood up and rushed out of his room. she could feel her heart pounding harder, after building her followers for a lifetime? It was suspended and all her followers almost gone in minutes? She muttered to herself as she went down the stairs, her feet slamming on
"That's too long a duration for it, I mean… what did I really do to deserve that? … Are you saying that I don't have the right to post anything I feel like? Evelyn sulked."You didn't just post anything, Eve, that was a derogatory remark, to label the only one heir to our father's group of companies.. " a poor man" is enough to delete your account." Her younger sister replied coldly."Who cares about that? Afterall, I received a message from Stelcy yesterday and she informed me that all our uncles were in town, and that they're ready for the meeting… wouldn't be still end up a poor man?" She snarled. Kendrick raised his eyes slowly, and lowered it again, he didn't say a word, she was getting on his nerves and she knew it. He reached to the silver tray and picked a bunch of sweetened grapes, and threw bits of it into his mouth."You can't just start to decide his fate Eve, you should know that. How certain are you that he did all of that?" The younger sister asked again. Evel
Kendrick remained a calm and silent demigod to his sisters and uncles until the day to the meeting. He didn't have an etch of worries on his face because he knew the weight of load he carried on his shoulders, ensuring he was able to prove them wrong by Wednesday. It was like balancing a sack of gravel on his head every day at home and not being allowed to steady it with his hands. He still saw Evelyn's cold words and his father's disapproving gestures strung together with the pressure from the top politicians who tried to push him out of the way. He has met Sophia on several occasions, yet she acted good in his presence but later changed when he called her back at home. And, after every meeting with some board of workers, in the companies he bought for a whopping 50 billion dollars. The group will have to call him for the reshoveling of workers. One of the companies, the Top Bloom Corners, a strong cement production factory, had merged with the oil and gas company under
Wednesday morning arrived like time was shortened. Kendrick had ensured he went to bed early enough if that would be his last day of sleeping in the Peterson's mansion. He woke up to the chiming ring of his phone, a notification popped up on the screen. He picked up the phone and inspected the screen carefully, "today would either mar or make you bigger." It was his reminder so he jumped out of bed, and hurried to the window, his eyes observing the outer part of the Peterson's mansion. It was no ordinary day, so the flowers were trimmed, the compound was decorated like it was Christmas Eve, yet all that lingered in his mind wasn't about the test, it was about his mother, they would also decide on when to lay her to rest. So he knew there was a lot to do today. He quickly turned into the bathroom, and in some minutes, he emerged with a bright smile. He opened the door to the wardrobe and brought out a blue tuxedo suit, it looked flashy and neat, he had ordered it for today's m
