Chapter 13

At about six 6: 00 am in the morning, Charles was set to go and complete the Megan group ownership take-over procedures and instruct the vice chairman to announce the commencement of the trading hub opening and operations. He had woken up at 4:30 am to prepare breakfast for his in-laws and had set the meals at the dining table in the dining room.

“Good morning darling”, he greeted Olivia Who was just waking up from her sleep. “How was your night's rest?” he added cheerfully.

“Good morning dear”, she replied.

“Oh! You're already set to go?” Olivia asked. She was surprised that Charles had brought her morning tea and bread for her and was already dressed to go out by that time.

“Yes.”

“When did you wake up to get all these things ready?” She asked him teasingly.

“I woke up at 4:30 am to get things set”, he replied. “Anything the matter?”, he added.

“Not at all”, she said. “I was just surprised to see you ready to go by this time of the morning hours.”

“Oh! I wanted to be at Damson Hospital on time so we could process Rambo's discharge procedures quickly and then come back to meet Mom for our journey to Central Swansea.”

“Oh, I see. Please help me ignore Mom’s troubles when you go out there with her because she is full of trouble.” She pleaded. “I will be going to Thompson to clear the tasks on my desk and may not be around when you return form the hospital” she added.

“Alright. I will surely do as you suggested and trust me everything will be fine”, he reassured her.

Just as Charles was about starting his electric scooter outside their house to go, did Mrs Rose Andrea shouted from inside, “I will skin you alive Charles should you make me go to the raffle game show late today. And where do you think you are going to go now without making breakfast for me?” She thought that he wanted to leave the house without making breakfast for the family.

“I have made the breakfast and set them for you and Dad at the dining mom”, answered Charles zooming off with his electric scooter. He didn't want to wait and listen to any of her ranting this morning. All he wanted to do right now was just to go and complete the Megan group ownership deal which he recently acquired secretly through the help of Tyler.

Tyler had made every other preparation and purchase procedure ready on his behalf and had equally informed the officials of Megan groups that Charles would be coming today.

He arrived at Megan 's group at exactly 8:00 am and was about to park his beloved electric scooter at the company's parking lot when his eyes caught a familiar face.

Those faces were no other people than Luca Grand and his wife Lily. They were there also to finalize their Grands group partnership deal with the newly built Megan group before the launch which had been anticipated to happen soonest as rumor has it.

They had also just arrived in their 2023 Mercedes Benz SL-Class sport car which had been gifted to them by Arthur Grand, Luca's father on their wedding night in which their happy moments were ruined by Charles' uncalled request from Lady Marcus.

Charles quickly fasted his pace as possible as he could because he never wanted them to notice his presence as that can bring unnecessary attention and insults from them. Unfortunately, Lily Marcus had seen him while he was trying so hard to dodge them. She drew the attention of her husband saying, “darling, what is this colossal loser doing here?”

Luca immediately looked up to see who his wife was talking about and found out that it was Charles the nobody.

His mood changed into a soured drink the very moment he saw Charles and his blood became hot causing his veins to dilate rapidly. The anger brewed into him at this instant can cook yarm to done with three seconds of time.

This was the same Charles who pointed at him while they were at Marcus Villa the previous day after challenging his own wife.

He has been looking for an opportunity where he would teach him a bitter lesson of his life such that he would never dare talk back at anyone related to him not to talk of pointing his filthy fingers on him. “This useless bastard without identity ruined my wedding night, challenged my own wife and had the guts to point his finger at me at the Marcus Villa. Now that we are here, I must teach him a bitter lesson!” he muttered while hastening to park his car at the parking lot of Megan group. “Call him back here before he runs away because as he had seen us”, he told his wife Lily.

Lily rushed out of the car and caught up with Charles who was almost at the elevator that leads to the company's CEO's office shouting, “Charles,wait there for me! It's me, your cousin-sister-in-law Lily Marcus.”

She plastered a fake smile round her face to make him wait so her husband could come and get revenge on Charles as they planned.

Meanwhile, Charles stopped at the base of the elevator and waited for Lily and who upon approaching him closer asked mockingly, “why are you here today Charles?”

“I am here to apply for a Job.” he answered, “why are you here also?” he asked her back.

“I and my fiance are here to finalize a business partnership deal with Megan group before their launch” she said boastfully “but didn't you know that the company hasn't commenced recruitment for cleaners as they are yet to launch their operations fully?” she added mockingly.

“And who told you that I'm here to apply for a cleaner job position?” Charles retorted back in response to her meaningless interrogation.

He was already anger filled and agitated that she had blocked his way and was wasting his precious.

“Stop being delusional of yourself Charles. Don't you know where you belong to? For your information, no company can ever employ you into a different position other than cleaning.” she said laughing hysterically at him.

“Are you done so I can go? I have some important things to do right now and not these useless questions you're asking”, he said angrily raising his voice on her. “And if you must know the job position I'm here for, then I came to apply as the CEO of Megan group.” he added moving Closer to the elevator.

His statement was laughable and so Lily laughed boisterously while trying to suppress her anger. for the moment, she recalled that Charles had just raised his voice on her and growled coldly, “who are you raising voice on? have you lost your senses loser b*tch like you? I initially wanted to help you get the cleaning position through our connection with Megan as one of their business partners but since you're not disrespectful but also very arrogant, I'm left with no option than to withdraw it and as well treat you like you deserve.” Saying this she raised her hand to slap him but fortunately, Charles saw the hand coming on time dodged his face while grabbing her with just one, flipping her upward and as expected, the breeze carried her and throw on the ground causing her to hit her forehead on the ground. Immediately blood oozed out from her knee cap, hand and forehead where she had hit on the floor.

She yelped in pain and growled, “B*stard, how dare you hit me? You have just signed your death warrant right away. Wait for my fiance to meet you.” She then turned to call Luca who upon hearing her shouts of pains had already started running faster to meet up with him. “Darling, see what this loser did to me.” She cried.
