“Wow. Michael, you are very generous.”“Despite the hard hit, you are still back as a big boy!”“I knew it that it was just a little fuss and the dust would die down. Regardless, you are still the boss.”Michael's friends praised and hailed him when they met that evening. With all these accolades, Michael made a rash promise,“I'll take you all out. Nothing affects me. It was just a fuss as you said. My stock is unlimited!” he bragged. “Great! Let's head out!”“Where are we going to?”“I'll take you to Rosevett!” Michael said. Rosevett was a very expensive relaxation place to hang out in that area. Only the rich and those who had membership cards could afford to go there. “You are not allowed to enter here, sir,” the security man said. “What do you mean by that? Do you know who I am?” Michael bragged. He was with his friends and he didn't want to be embarrassed. He loved showing off and making his friends know that he wasn't in their level. “Your membership card has been revoked.
The room was well illuminated and decorated. The Golden Chandelier cast it's warm golden light on the room, adding taste, class and glamour to it's appearance. The lavish space was tailored to specifically impress the rich and powerful men who often came there for gatherings. It offered an unalloyed air of lavish and sophistication. Sky admired the walls draped in rich velvet and the gleaming marble floors. Men of high class were seated and the gathering was due to begin in five minutes. At the door stood bouncers, who dutifully and strictly checked invitation cards before letting anyone in. Amelia had gruelled at so many's feet just to obtain that invitation for her daughter. Sky promised to do her best. Her dinner gown was beyond description, it was fabulous. She dressed her best that night and she was putting on the latest designs from Aurora weaves. She had a good taste in fashion and she had combined her tastes and styles with the lastest clothes and jewelleries, giving rise to
Mr Reed's girlfriend was a very enviable position and no one who loved her life would lie with that status. Neither will a sane person offend Daniel Reed's girlfriend! The waiter knew these two unwritten yet Golden rules by heart and that was why she didn't waste time to ask Sky for pardon. Sky knew the power of the new position she ascribed to herself. With the triumphant look, Sky walked up the stairs and was soon in front of the said room. She smiled again and got her facial muscles to relax. She had to look her best and be at her best behaviour this time. She pressed the door bell and the door beeped and opened seconds later. “Good evening Master Reed, your food is here,” she announced in her sexiest voice. Daniel was seated on the seat, facing the window and overlooking the lovely flowers in the garden behind his window. When he heard her, he didn't turn. Rather, he pointed at the table, meaning she should drop it there. “How rude! He's not even going to turn to see who it is?
When she got closer to them, a bouncer stopped her midway. “You can't step further than this. Go back Miss.”She strained her neck to see more but there was no Jake in sight. Had she seen wrongly? Or was it her imagination?“Of course, it should be my imagination. Jake can't be with Reed. No, he's hopeless.”Sky went home and relayed the outcome of the meeting to her mother. Amelia was unhappy that they lost Reed. “We will try again, child.”Grrrnnggggg! Grnnnggggg!!Jake's phone rang. He stretched his hands lazily and picked it up. He was seated in an air conditioned office, going through the files that were brought before him. His grandfather had officially handed the company over to him and charged him to do his best. The caller was George. “Hello George.”“Jake! You will not believe what I'm about to tell you right now! I'm super excited!” George exclaimed. Jake smiled. He knew what his friend was about to say, after all, he was the one who put him in the managerial position.
Jake turned in that direction and saw Vincent Winters running up to him. “Pray, Jake. Undo what you have done. I've learnt my mistake now. I will never be careless in the future, please,” he begged. “Too late,” Jake replied. Vincent had only a few hours left. His father had reminded him that he was going to get his lawyer to change the will in Jim's favour. Left with no other choice, Vincent had gone in search of Jake without success. He had dropped by to see if another person would help him out only to stumble on Jake. “Isn't that Vincent Winters?” George asked, coming closer to them. “It's him. Emm. How about you go ahead and to your office. I'll find my way home from here.”“Is that okay by you? I should make going home easier for you, Jake.”“Oh no. I have other things to do around here. I'm perfectly fine.”Having dismissed George, Jake focused on Vincent once more. “It's too late. The deed has been done.”“No Jake, no. I'll do anything. My dad is threatening to take away m
“Wife? Grandfather how…”Grandfather Ashley ignored him entirely and acted like he didn't say a word. “She's very beautiful and she's the perfect wife for you. She's the first daughter of Lucas Grant, the owner of Lorento Halls.”“But grandfather, I don't need a wife,” Jake pointed out. “Yes, you need a wife. I'll be arranging a date with her family next week and you must be there.”Jake thought hard. Firstly, he wasn't ready to reveal his identity to the public. But if he's on a date with Miss Lauren Grant, there was no way it will not be known that he's the grandson of Ashley Frederick. “Grandfather, I'm opposed to that. I will find a wife in no time, grandfather. I don't want any arranged dates, please grandfather.”Ashley didn't respond, instead, he continued eating his food. Two days had passed and Jake had forgotten all about the date and marriage talks. He woke up that morning full of vigour and got dressed, ready to go to the head office of the Frederick conglomerate in th
“You punk!”“Mother? What's happening?” Harley ran over. “I was only explaining the obvious to your mother. The products on display today are fake.”“What? I see you have lost your mind.”A thin smile appeared on Jake's face and he put his hands into his pocket and pulled out a neatly folded sheet of paper. “There's the proof, go through it.”Harley snatched the paper from him and read aloud. “Maris Leather bag. Leather purchased from Duality foils. Quality,Polyurethane 60%Cotton 10%Nylon 7%Acrylic 5%Results: Fake and substandard.What's the meaning of this, Jake?” Harley asked. Amelia snatched the paper from Harley and looked at it. She went further to check the details in the paper and found it to be true. The paper also had a legal symbol that could be used as a legal proof in court.“Nonsense!” she said and tore up the paper.“I see that you are mad. Don't worry mother, I'll get the security to throw him out,” Harley assured her. “I know those bags are fake. Even the one
Amelia found her way to the bathroom and touched up her makeup, then walked calmly back to the event. But on getting there, she saw new sets of goods on display! Her plan was to announce Jake as the owner, then tell everyone that he was the one who purchased those fake products. However, Jake beat her to it, he won again.After Richard told Jake that the Kents were planning to sell out fake products, he ordered a delivery of the real and original ones. The plan was to replace them once Amelia signs over the company. He knew that Amelia would not let him take the company as well as win the auction. He knew how schemy she was and dealt with her accordingly. The goods were separated in two groups, hers and another group. She screamed and cursed Jake in her head, she couldn't do it out loud. “Once he sells off the ones I bought, I'll tell everyone that it's fake and Jake would be a sore loser,” she decided.Jake gave orders to his lawyers in the car and he alighted afterwards.
