Nathaniel narrowed his eyes before answering the call abruptly. "Hello."
"You ungrateful hypocrite! You had the guts to beat up James’s men?" she yelled, causing a frown to appear on Nathaniel's face "They attacked me, you fool! Do you expect me to leave them? Huh? I defended myself," He said in rage. He didn't know how he lived with Lindsey for so long without seeing this part of her "You deserve to be beaten up! You're in big trouble now. Not only did you beat James up, but you also beat his men up. Those men will definitely want their revenge," she said in anger Nathaniel sneered, "Get lost Lindsey" He hung up the call. He just couldn't stand her voice anymore. Each second on the phone with her reminds him of the moments when he was deeply in love with her and wanted to do anything to please her He shoved his phone back into his pocket and flashed a smile at Thelma. "Let's go, I'm famished," He said. Martin didn't bother to ask him any other thing about the divorce. Martin cleared his throat and said, "I might be gone by the time you come back home" "Okay," Nathaniel nonchalantly replied. Thelma took him to the underground garage in the house and Nathaniel's eyes widened in shock. There were over 20 expensive cars in the garage, and one of them cost a fortune. "Which of them would you like us to ride with, sir?" Thelma asked. "Wait, so my father owns all of this?" He asked, unable to believe it "Not just these cars sir, he has over a hundred cars, just like this garage, each garage of every mansion he owns is filled with cars just like this," she informed Nathaniel who was trying to remain composed. "Let's go on that one," Nathaniel said, pointing at the blue BMW car. "Okay sir," Thelma said and turned to the entrance of the underground garage. A tall, dark-skinned man was standing by the door. She immediately beckoned for him to come and without wasting time, he hastened his steps to where they stood "Nathaniel, this is Peter, he is your personal driver," Thelma said. Peter bowed his head deeply "I'm pleased to always be at your service sir," He said. Unsure of how to act, Nathaniel just nods his head in acknowledgment. "I'm going to have dinner with Miss Thelma and I want us to go on the blue BMW," Nathaniel informed, causing Peter to nod his head. A few minutes later, they all got into the car while Peter drove towards the estate gates. Thelma and Nathaniel sat in the back seat. In no time, they arrived at the best native American restaurant. Nathaniel got out of the car and gawked at the exterior design of the restaurant. Just by the entrance, he caught sight of two men in blue suits. The moment he was just five feet away from them, they bowed their heads and greeted "Welcome sir" Nathaniel nodded his head his acknowledgment. He turned to Thelma and asked, "My grandfather owns this place, too?" "Yes sir, you own it too," she informed causing Nathaniel to chuckle softly. “Your photo has been sent to all the staff in this place so they can recognize their boss even from a distance,” she informed. Nathaniel grinned. He observed the way the customers stared at him, but he didn’t let it bother him. He was wearing torn jeans and a blue worn-out shirt, so he didn't blame them for gazing at him with a frown on their face, "Who let this low poor thing into this place" He heard someone whisper, "Sir, let's sit and order something to eat," Thelma said, but before they moved an inch, someone yelled from behind them, "Nathaniel!" The woman's voice was so loud that it caught everyone's attention Nathaniel immediately turned to see that it was Danielle, Lindsey's best friend, the same girl who threw shades at him in front of everyone a few hours ago at Lindsey's birthday party. Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and sighed before asking, "Danielle, what are you doing here" "I should ask you the same question," she sneered "I'm here to get food," He responded, causing Danielle to scoff, "Food? From here? You know that there's no food less than 100 USD here." Nathaniel didn't respond to her. Instead, he narrowed his eyes. Danielle wasn't done with him yet. She turned to the waiter and asked, "Is he here to get a job? I'm sure that's the case. You are not even qualified to get a cleaner job here!" Nathaniel sneered, "Better get your food and stop fooling around." Danielle immediately got angry at his words. She gritted her teeth and said, "You know what I hated the most about you? It's the fact that you've always been a dreamer. You thought my friend could settle for someone like you even when they're other rich men," Danielle paused and raised her voice so that everyone in the room could hear her, "James Adams, the CEO of Adams group under MSC is way better than you! You're no match for that man, you should have seen what he got for your wife... Oh my bad, she divorced you!" Danielle stretched the last part of her sentence, making sure that everyone heard her clearly. The customers started whispering to themselves. They gawked at Nathaniel with eyes filled with irritation and disgust. "Look around you. You don't belong here, so leave! Before I call the security to drag you out!" she said with a sly smile on her face. Danielle gingerly folded her hands in front of her and waited for him to leave the restaurant with his head bowed in shame "Leave?" Thelma finally intervened. Initially, she chose to let Nathaniel handle it himself, but Danielle was crossing the line. Danielle immediately recognized Thelma. "Oh, my God! Thelma Kesley, Good day ma" Danielle greeted with a wide smile on her face "Good day ma'am, but I think you've said enough, so do yourself a favor and exit this restaurant premises""Huh? No! With your reputation, you should not defend someone like him. He's a poor church rat that doesn't deserve to be here," Danielle said. She turned to Nathaniel with a frown on her face."What are you still doing here, you hypocrite!" Danielle said and Thelma opened her mouth to speak but Nathaniel stopped her"You're a poor church rat that doesn't deserve to be here and I must make sure I treat you the way you should be treated," she said, filled with so much hate. By this time, everyone was already staring at them."Since you claim that you came here to eat, why don't you take out 50 dollar bill out of your pocket," She paused and chuckled softly before continuing, "I mean that's the lowest I can think of, a bottle of water here cost more than that" Danielle took a step backward and turned to Thelma. "Just watch and see who you're defending," Danielle said and grinned. Thelma scoffed at her words. She just watched as the entire scene unfolded in front of her. Nathaniel has a
Danielle eyes widened in shock, but as she opened her mouth to speak, Thelma stopped her. "I think it's enough for you Madam! Leave this restaurant or I'll have the security man throw you out!" Thelma said in a rage. "But... But..." Danielle stuttered. "Take her out!" Thelma turned to the security man and instructed. The man immediately pulled her hand abruptly and started dragging her towards the door"Hold on, I'm not done yet," Nathaniel uttered with a smirk on his face"You heard our master. Hold on," Thelma said, causing the man to let go of Danielle's hand. Danielle straightened her dress in anger. "What lie did you tell them, huh? Why are they calling you young master when you're just a...""Hey! That's enough, Danielle!" Nathaniel stopped her from completing her sentence."I didn't ask him to let go of you to insult me. Like I said, I have a question!" Danielle was feeling uncomfortable. She didn't want to let her guard down in front of Nathaniel so she cleared her throat an
"Do I really need bodyguards?" Nathaniel asked."Yes sir, you do. Great wealth comes with many enemies," Thelma responded, causing Nathaniel to nod his head. They got into the car while the other two bodyguards got into another car, a black Porsche. Soon, they arrived at the company, and Nathaniel stepped out from the car. As they walked towards the entrance of the building, Nathaniel noticed the eyes on them. Unlike yesterday, when he was wearing torn clothes, today he wore a fine black suit. "Damn it! I forgot some files in the car, sir," Thelma said. "Okay, you can go and get them. I'll be waiting for you inside the building," Nathaniel informed, causing Thelma to nod her head before walking back to the car. "You both should go with the lady," Nathaniel instructed. In hesitation, the bodyguards left his side and followed Thelma. Thelma opened her mouth to protest, but she ended up keeping her mouth shutNathaniel walked through the big entrance door. It was a really busy morni
Thelma smiled at her master’s intelligent plan. She grinned and gazed at him before responding, “Okay sir, I assure you that you’ll be pleased with the next news concerning the Addams groups” A crook smile formed on Nathaniel’s face. As he worked towards his desk to take a sit, the buzzing sound of his phone distracted him. With a frown on his face, he took his phone out of his pocket and placed it on his left ear, while supporting it with his hand.“Hello?” He answered abruptly, leaving the second party dumbfounded by his abrupt response“Nathaniel!” the lady said in anger.“Mrs. Sterling, to what do I owe this call by this hour?” He asked, leaving the lady stunned. She took the phone away from her ear to see if she had dialed the right number“Have you gone nuts? How dare you talk to your boss in such a manner? I’ll make sure I report this to the manager so that your salary will be cut by 50 percent,” she ranted, causing Nathaniel to narrow his eyes.“Will you answer me, or do you
"Isn't that Nathaniel?" The whispers of the people around fell into Nathaniel's ear, but he ignored them. He elegantly stepped into the store, leaving the bodyguards outside"You ungrateful fool!" Mrs. Sterling immediately fired, but Nathaniel was unmoved by her words. Instead, he stood with his hands in his pocket as he gazed at her standing in frustration."Let me inform your creditors that you're here! Thank Goodness I'm not part of the many people that lent you money," she scoffed and turned to Maggie, who was standing by the wall, with a bucket of water and a mop stick in her hand."Hey! You, come here!" She hissed. Without hesitating, Maggie hurried to where she stood with her head bowed"Give the bucket to this peasant to mop the floors and call me the gentlemen and lady that came here looking for Nathaniel. You know them, right?" Mrs. Sterling asked. "Yes ma'am," Maggie seemed scared, but she didn't frown at any instruction she was given because of the fear of losing her job
"Who are these men?" Mr. Martin asked, confused. Nathaniel gave the phone back to one of his bodyguards before turning to Martin."Who they are isn't important. The question should be who I am and what I can now do to you and this your small cafe," Nathaniel paused and dusted the collar of their shirt while trying to straighten it"There's no need to fire me, Mr. Martin. I came here to resign," Nathanial laughed. He gritted his teeth, trying to surpass his anger when he took his phone out of his pocket, "Have a nice day Mr. Martin, I no longer work for you" He said and turned to leave, getting tired of the drama when he had bigger fish to fry."Wait! You're not going to beg me? Without this job you'll be penny less and end up dying in hunger and starvation because no one around here will hire you," Mr. Martin said, showing how stunned he was by Nathaniel's outburst of resigning instead of begging"Why is that so? James also asked them not to hire me?" Nathaniel inquired"Yes, that's r
“Be fast, I have somewhere important to be!” Nathaniel’s voice rang through the room. He was waiting outside the Manager’s office and was growing impatient by how slowly the cleaner swept the office. It was a small pizza store, and he worked there as a delivery man. “Will you stop shouting? I wasn’t going to sleep here!” A tanned-skinned girl walked out of the Manager’s office. “Get lost, Maggie!” Nathaniel said before walking away from where she stood. Maggie works here as a cleaner and for the past 30 minutes, she has been cleaning the Manager’s office, so he had to wait outside for her to finish before he could go in. He walked into the Manager’s office and stood just beside the desk. “Good....” “Take it and get out! I’m busy” He caught Nathaniel off. His dirty blonde hair fell on his face and he didn’t fail to show how irritated he was by Nathaniel’s presence. Nathaniel stretched his hand and picked the dollar notes from the table. As he counted it, a small frown appea
"Em... Em..." She opened her mouth to speak when suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to look beside her. It was James Kesley, the blonde-haired man that she was dancing with. "Baby, you seem scared of him. Why don't you just tell him the truth and what you intend to do?" James said while staring into Nathaniel's eyes. Nathaniel looked away from him and turned to face his wife before asking, "What truth? What do you intend to do?" Lindsey inhaled deeply. Without answering him, she turned to the stairs and walked upstairs to her room Beside her bedside table was a brown envelope and a stack of papers just on top of the envelope. She took them downstairs, but she was hesitant. She pitied him and wondered where he would go if she threw him out of her house. Her father would not be happy with her in his grave, but this was what everyone wanted. Her mother, James, and even her friends. She walked downstairs and looked into Nathaniel's dull eyes with boldness "I want u
