The receptionist looked at the security guards. “What are you still waiting for? Bundle him out!” She yelled out the order. She was brimming with anger. She wouldn't let Brad spoil business for her. She has always given priority to high people, people who were always giving her money whenever they came around. If Brad upset them and they leave, they might not come back and she wouldn't be able to collect from them again. That would be a loss to her. “Don't you dare touch him!” A voice said suddenly, in a thick voice. The intensity in the voice forced the security guards to a sudden stop. Nick stepped forward, with the driver beside him. The receptionist looked at them with a raised brow. She looked at Nick for a moment, before her eyes moved to the driver. She actually recognized the driver. All the president drivers were always checked at all the companies after employing them so that they could be recognized whenever they were sent to the companies. “How dare you want to touch
“I want to see the manager in charge here,” Brad muttered as he entered the elevator. “But I thought you wanted to rest.” Brad hesitated briefly. “Tell him I want to see him in the next one hour or he will be fired as well,” he finished and stepped out. Nick bowed slightly and waited for the door to close. Brad unlocked the door and walked inside the exquisite room. Well decorated was an understatement. The room was richly tailored to his taste. It was as if they took his taste into consideration. The room was spacious and could fit for a house party. Brad collapsed on a sofa, feeling very tired. He was supposed to take a shower, eat, and sleep but then he had already promised to see Sophia. Besides, he could use the opportunity to eat. Brad got up and entered the bathroom for a shower. He spent a longer time than he had decided. He has to think of something. In less than four months, he would graduate and would eventually have to monitor B-POLD and all his other companies f
Brad grabbed his phone and stepped out of the suite.He entered the elevator and went to the second floor, where room 215 was. He knocked on the door slightly but no answer came.Maybe she wasn't in.“Brad!” A familiar voice called suddenly, from behind as Brad was about to knock again.Brad turned towards Sophia, a smile on his face. “I was knocking. I thought you would be in. Where did you go?”Sophia smiled and moved closer. “I waited for you and when you didn't show up, I went back to the lobby to look for you. No one could tell me where you are. I even thought you’d left.”“Oh,” Brad’s finger unconsciously ranks through his hair. “I had to deal with some things before I stepped outside. Do they have a lounge here or a restaurant where we can eat while we talk?”Sophia nodded once. “Yes, they do. In fact, I ate there last night.”“Good,” Brad smiled softly. “Let's go there then.”Sophia nodded once and turned towards the elevator. “I'm sorry I didn't tell you when I was leaving N
Brad made sure Sophia went inside the suite before he went into his.Just as he opened the door, Nick stepped inside, with his head slightly bowed.Brad regarded him for a moment. “Is everything all settled?”Nick nodded once. “Yes, boss. It is. We now have a new manager. And the receptionist has been changed immediately,” he explained.Brad nodded once. “Have you eaten?”Nick shook his head briefly. “I haven't had the time to, boss.”“The hotel has a restaurant. Go and have dinner there. All bills are on me and I will sort it out tomorrow. Since there are no more rooms, you can share this with me. And with that, I will say a goodnight.”Nick bowed slightly, with a smile on his face..The morning came earlier than expected or maybe it was because Brad slept late.His phone rang suddenly. It was Sophia.He smiled briefly and picked it up. “Hello, Sophia.”“Yes, Brad. Good morning. Are you ready for breakfast?”Brad glanced at the wall clock. It was just eight in the morning.“Oh no, S
All the members of P-BOLD were almost gone when Brad stepped outside.He hesitated briefly as he regarded Tony for a moment.Tony moved closer and bowed his head slightly. “Greetings to you, boss.”“I didn't expect to see you here. When did you come around?”Tony smiled slightly. “Yesterday's night. I wouldn't miss this last day of paying respect to a great man.”Brad scoffed. “Or are you up to something?”Tony grinned. “I'm actually here to report to you as well.”Brad looked at him. “What happened?”“I'm done, boss. I've finally recreated the antidote,” he announced.“What?” Brad was shocked.Tony nodded slowly, with a smile. “I have but that's not the only news. I've discovered that some of the big men supporting Fernandez were doing it because of the threat. Fernandez threatened them with the poison. Since no one wants to die, they have to do everything that he want. He now has a lot of business partners that he couldn't help but be the richest and most successful businessman,” he
Sophia regarded his brother for another moment. He still hasn't left comatose but the doctors have assured her that he would be fine.Sophia couldn't wait to see her brother again. The fact that her brother has a photographic memory was something that excited her.But she doesn't know if he still possesses that ability after so much. Her brother has suffered a lot and she just wants to see him alive and talking like he used to.That was enough for her.She released a sigh, as her phone rang. Happiness rushed into her as she thought it was Brad. A sigh escaped her when she realized it wasn't Brad but her mother.She couldn't believe Brad didn't want to see her again before he left for New York, knowing fully well that she might not even show up until maybe a few days before graduation. Even though she knew that was going to cause issues, she wasn't bothered.What if she resumed, only to be kidnapped by Ned? What would she do then? Would she even be able to graduate?“Hello, mom.”“Hell
Tina released a sigh as she continued to look at the business card in her hands.She contemplated what to really do. Was she supposed to believe the men she saw at the party? And go to the company?She released another sigh, maybe for the umpteenth time that day. Well, she didn't know if she would be able to secure another job after what Mia did to her.And well, what she did in return.She took her bag and walked out of the room. She flagged down a taxi and gave out the address to the driver.Soon enough, they arrived at the company and Tina got out of the car.She hesitated briefly in front of the company before she entered.There were a lot of people going forth and out. Tina moved to the receptionist.“Hello, how can I see the manager around here?”The lady looked up at Tina, with a smile. “Do you have an appointment with him?”Tina nodded once. “I do. Please, let me see him.”The lady nodded once, took the telephone, and dialed a number. She looked at Tina. “What should I tell hi
A lady stood and moved closer to Brad just as he walked inside.“You must be Brad. You are wanted inside,” she said disrespectfully.Brad regarded her for a moment. “Alright.”The lady waved with pride and walked back to her seat.Brad released a sigh at her attitude before he moved towards the door. He knocked on the door slightly.“Hey! What's happening?” A feminine voice snapped from behind him.Brad looked at the assistant with a look of indignation. “Good morning, ma’am.”“Oh, morning?” She laughed. “I didn't know you were going to come today.”“Well, I did tell the authorities when I applied for this job. Since I was a student, I was allowed to come at a certain time,” he explained.The lady scoffed. “Really? That's why you come to work at your convenience. If this is too much for you, you can as well quit. Why will you come to work as if your father owns it?” She yelled.“Well, I would have resumed earlier if the president of P-Bold hadn't declared a holiday and_”“Oh, spare me
