Henry was not interested in the entertainment industry but Berry was keen. “I’m interested in becoming a celebrity. Why don’t you take me under your wings and nurture my talent then you treat me as you wish as long as I’ll get to be famous.” Said Berry. Henry sighed. “I’m damn serious Henry. We could open an entertainment company and then I’ll be the CEO since I don’t have any talents but I can manage others. All you have to do is fund the company and I guarantee that Aida and Courtney will become the most popular celebrities in Marylyn.”Dalton smacked Berry on the left shoulder. “Forget it. How can someone like you make another person famous?”“How about we open a gaming industry then?” asked Berry with a wide grin. Dalton smacked him again. “Shut up with your weird ideas. What if you end up losing Henry’s money? Aida and Courtney’s eyes lit up after hearing what Berry said. If they might not be able to handle it then they might be able to get it done through Berry since his re
Even though he was going to be sharing power with Dalton, Berry was not bothered. He walked up to Dalton with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. “I know you’re wondering how this is going to work but don’t worry, we’ll figure this out when the time comes, and don’t forget, you’ve got me to deal with,” Berry said.Dalton smiled. Henry looked at everyone and then asked. “Are there any questions?”No one spoke. They all seemed excited and couldn’t stop blabbering about their new roles. Currently, the company has been mentally organized by Henry from top to bottom. The leader of operations was Chelsea. Jean will handle image design and directing while Berry and Dalton will be executive directors. Henry also had two prospective artists which were Aida and Courtney. Even though the company was made up of a few people who were mostly leaders rather than employees, Henry believed that this was just the beginning and that things were going to be different in the future. Henry also be
Henry’s phone began to ring. He moved to a corner, away from the voice, and responded to the call. Henry was surprised when he saw the number. “Hello, Kelvin.”“Henry, Mr. Potter is dying.” The caller supplied in a troubled tone. “What happened? Mr. Potter has always been healthy.” Henry replied. The caller sighed. “Mr. Potter is suffering from a heart attack. The location of his building was chosen by a developer who wanted to tear down the area and rebuild a factory. Mr. Potter disagreed but the developer used other means to achieve his aim and that was what led to Mr. Potter’s attack.”“How is he feeling now? What are the doctors saying?” Henry asked with concern in his voice. “I don’t know how to explain. You know I’m not educated so it’s difficult for me to communicate with the doctors. I just wanted to ask when you’ll be able to come.” Kelvin said. He wanted to say other things but he hesitated. Henry sighed. “I understand. I’ll go there as soon as possible.” He said and hu
“Yes.” June nodded and quickly pulled out her phone to reach Mr. Cross. Betty and the others were surprised about the fact that Greenville had no landing space. Even though it was a small town, it had a vast area that could be developed but that was a question only the government could respond to. “I want the highway cleared and a landing space created before we arrive,” Henry told June. She nodded again and relayed the information to Mr. Cross. After that, Henry and the others boarded the plane. A private plane was set aside for them immediately after Mr. Cross contacted the airport. The planes that were supposed to take off remained still for Henry’s private plane to take off. The managing director of the airport had no idea who Henry was and why Mr. Cross wanted an emergency plane set for him but he could tell that Henry was a very powerful person. After Henry’s plane took off, the pilots on standby were set to take off. They couldn’t afford to offend such a big shot. “Sir,
Henry sighed and turned to Kelvin. “What did the doctor say?”Kelvin was about to respond when Mr. Potter’s weak voice was heard. “Henry, is that you?”Henry and Kelvin immediately turned around. Mr. Potter had opened his eyes and was now struggling to sit up. Henry rushed to his aid.“I’m fine.” Mr. Potter said with a weak smile after seeing the concerned look on Henry’s face.Henry watched Mr. Potter closely. The man had aged rapidly in the last three years. His eyes had developed bags underneath. His lips looked dried and he had lost a lost of weight. Also, his hair was as white as snow. Henry could tell that Mr. Potter was trying to pretend that he was fit when it was clear that he was struggling.Soon, tears began to well up in Henry’s eyes. He clung to Mr. Potter’s arm. “I’m back.”“Yes.” Kelvin acknowledged with a nod.&nbs
After the door closed, Dr. Rita narrowed her gaze to the bundle of stacked cash placed inside the suitcase. She roughly counted the money and realized the total sum of 2 million dollars.Dr. Rita was so stunned that she was already gasping for breath. In a small town like Greenville, two million was enough to secure a big house. She immediately slammed the suitcase shut and yanked it from the table.As far as Dr.Rita was concerned, Mr. Potter was just a poor and helpless old man who relied on collecting trash and selling scraps his entire life so where did such a rich child come from?Dr. Rita was restless. She placed her hands on his hips and pressed her lips into a thin line. The imposing manners Henry had just displayed in her office was not something an ordinary person could have. She was now looking at the suitcase with her eyes feel of fear. Her heart was pounding very hard in her chest. She felt that she had already done her duty so she couldn
It was evident that Mr. Potter was awakened by the commotion outside the door. The old man had a worried expression on his face and Henry knew that the look was borne out of concern. Mr. Potter was worried over the fact that Henry might get into trouble.Henry reached Mr. Potter and sat beside him on the bed. He then looked down at him with a warm smile. “Mr. Potter, I am successful so it’s time to repay you. Your illness can not be treated here but that’s nothing to worry about. I’ve already contacted the best hospital and made arrangements. You’ll stay there until you’re treated.”Mr. Potter sighed. “Henry. You don’t have to make the matter look simple. I already know that I have stomach cancer and it’s in the late stage so don’t waste your little money on me.”“Mr. Potter. Money is not important to me now. I just want you to be alive and remember, I haven’t fulfilled my
Three months ago, old street where Mr. Potter’s House was located was chosen by developers in Greenville who was set to buil a company and according to them, Mr. Potter’s street was the ideal location.Meanwhile, some of the people living on old street were pleased with the demolition going on by the developers on the street because they were offered monetary compensation but the likes of Mr. Potter who preferred their home to any form of compensation were not happy with the initiative.The developers were taking advantage of the situation. Since the dwellers of old street in Greenville were peasants, they were only offered a hundred thousand dollars each as compensation. Some of the houses were even two storey buildings passed on to the dwellers years ago.Even though the amount was not enough to pay for the worth of the building, some of the town’s people felt that it was better compared to nothing because as far as they wer
