Ronald's eyes widened with shock. "What! But how is that possible? Even Cara knows how much I visit this place. How could he get your ticket but not me?" He protested annoyingly.The manager ignored him and turned to Cara. "What did I tell you about being like this?""But sir, Mr. Ronald is our VIP customer. I didn't expect him to have your ticket," she uttered.The manager scoffed. "That's why you couldn't check before embarrassing our Vvip customer? You are fired?" He announced angrily.Everyone gasped. The workers were most scared. They have never seen the manager so angry. He has always been very nice, just reprimanding and not firing.Cara was too shocked to even say a word.The manager didn't even give her the chance to, and he turned to Brad. "I will take you. Please, follow me," he said with a smile.Everyone was shocked at how fast the manager could switch his expression which showed how important Brad was."I've been waiting for you to come back," Max said suddenly as they e
Five waitresses were lined to their right while five waiters were lined to their left.They were dumbfounded.Max walked in their midst, with a big Chinese dish in his hand. He stopped in front of Brad and stretched out the dish. He opened it and Brad stared down at the black card.Brad smiled, impressed before he took the card."This is our new VIP customer. You have to treat him with all respect," he announced to the workers.The workers looked up slightly to be able to see Brad, then they bowed immediately."Yes sir!" They chorused."Then you are dismissed!" Max ordered.The workers turned and walked away.Max turned to Brad and bowed slightly. "We will be expecting you here soon," he said with a smile.Brad reciprocated it. "Thank you!"They both walked out of the restaurant.Ava laughed. "This is so funny! I can't believe Max could be so dramatic. Though, I don't blame him. He obviously saw what was wat past him. Seeing the president of P-Bold, especially at this time when no one
"Did anyone tell you I killed him?" Tony yelled in anger."Don't get me upset, Tony. Don't tell yell at me!" Brad snapped.Tony went shut for a few seconds. "I have no hand in my father's death! You can't possibly believe I killed him!"Brad continued to watch him.Tony released a sigh and rubbed his face in agitation. "This is not fair. I came to my family after so long and what you can do is push me away?"Brad held his gaze. "Where is your girlfriend, Tony? You have been trying to avoid the conversation.""I thought they told you everything.""I want to hear everything, again, from you. Why are you back when you clearly showed you had no intention of doing so? There must be a reason and I want that reason!" He stressed in a deep voice."Or do you work with Fernandez now? Are you here to see who the new president is?" Ava accused."Fuck! No!" He yelled. "I'm nothing like my father!"Everyone went quiet.Tony looked at Maxwell, suddenly realizing his mistake. "I_," he started suddenl
"What!" Maxwell and Ava said at the same time.Brad couldn't believe what he just heard or was his ears playing tricks on him?"What did you just say? That your father is the reason why my father is almost dead? No," Brad shook his head briefly. "You are the reason why my father is dying?"Tony looked away. "My father was not supposed to do it. He was not supposed to sacrifice his boss to save me!"Brad stood up before he could stop himself. He gripped Tony's hard-on his collar."What!" He couldn't believe it. "You bastard!" He yelled."Boss!" Maxwell called, somehow shocked by his behaviour.Though, it was expected."You made your father choose between you and your boss and you blame him? Are you for real?""But I didn't ask him!""Say that word again_" Brad muttered in between clenched teeth. "And you will blame it for the rest of your life," he warned.Tony grunted but didn't say anything.Brad watched him for another minute before he finally let him go. "So, you know so much, yet
Brad woke up late the next morning. He spent a while talking to Sophia on the phone and it was even so late in the night when they dropped the call. So, Brad was unable to call Kevin.He picked up his phone and placed a call to Kevin. Kevin didn't pick up. So, he dropped it. Perhaps he was in the lecture room.He had no lecture until the afternoon that day. So, more time for him to prepare.He entered the bathroom to neat up nonetheless.As usual, Maria was waiting in the room."Good morning boss. I made you bacon and eggs.""Good morning!" And Brad settled to eat.The event of the previous night flooded in, making him hesitate briefly. And he remembered that he hadn't called the other doctors to know how his father was currently doing.Who would have thought that one of his father's doctors would be the end of him?He placed a call to Nikolai after he was done eating. He picked it up immediately."Hello, boss.""Hello, Nikolai. I'm calling about how far you've gone concerning my fath
Even though his words seemed rather so enticing, Brad didn't know if he was supposed to trust him.Who knows, he might still be working for Fernandez. And until he found otherwise, he would always doubt him.Brad crouched in front of him. “Are there other members in this with you? Or should I say ‘with your father?”Tony shook his head briefly.“Good,” Brad smirked. “Because I don't need your help. Get lost!” He snapped, stood, and looked at one of his men. “If he doesn't want to leave easily, kick him out!” He ordered.“Boss!” Tony yelled. “Please, give me this last chance. I will not disappoint P-Bold. I promise!” He pleaded.Brad turned a deaf ear to him and walked inside.His phone was ringing when he got inside. He reached for it and realized it was Kevin. He picked it up immediately.“Hello, Kevin. I forgot to call you yesterday but I really did get back to her.”“Alright. Is everything alright with him?”“Yes. She was just occupied with the fundraiser event. Have you forgotten
Brad walked inside the room with Maxwell.Ryan stood up quickly, with a smile. “Boss!” He called softly.Brad reciprocated his smile. “How do you do?”Ryan released a sigh, amidst the smile. “I'm fine. My wife is good as well.”Brad nodded several times and went to sit. “I was worried when we couldn't find you yesterday. We thought Vicenzo had gotten hold of you because I saw him around the mall two days ago,” he explained.Ryan's heart shattered into a million pieces. The man in front of him was worried about him but he was still planning to do him bad.He has thought about it several times and this was the only solution he could arrive at.Ryan laughed. “I took my wife out of the city. She will be due in a few days,” he lied.Brad nodded once. “That's fine. But why do you want to see me?”Ryan cleared his throat and looked at Maxwell.Brad followed the path of his gaze and understood what he meant. He looked at Maxwell.“Step outside for a few minutes.”Maxwell regarded Ryan for a m
Brad walked to his car and drove out of the club.He felt too occupied. Maybe Maxwell was right but the more he thought about it, the more scared he got.If he sat still, his father might really die for real. He has just four days left to save his father.His phone rang suddenly. It was Ava. Brad let it ring. Maxwell has probably informed her what he intended to do.The phone stopped ringing only for it to start ringing again.Brad released a sigh and found the right spot to park. He picked up the phone.“3 Brad. Where are you? I'm in your house but Maria just informed me that you aren't at home. Where are you?”Brad sighed. “I'm on my way home. I will be there soon.”“Alright, I will be waiting,” she finished and the phone went off.Brad cupped his face in his palm for a moment in desperation. But he just couldn't bring himself to choose a different thing.He just couldn't watch his father die when there was something he could have done to help.He dragged his breath slowly and star
