Eleanor handed the phone over to him, with a smile of accomplishment spread across her face.Damien let out a deep breath of defeat and sank back. "I would prefer a small gathering."She tsked and poured herself the red wine he brought. "Small gathering? You are the face of the medical field. Everyone would get disappointed if you don't inform them about your new establishment," she pointed out and took a sip from her wine. Damien could only agree with what she said. He had gotten tons of messages, asking where his hospital was.He sighed in resignation and picked up his phone which was buzzing with new messages about the hospital."So, you need a lot of staff to work for you because you are going to be getting people trooping into your hospital. How are you going to deal with that?" She questioned to which he sat up and snapped his fingers."Already working on that, but it might take a while because of the interviews that need to be carried out and assessments too. Once I get enough
'You were right, Dr Damien. You diagnosed what was wrong with my father but we were too foolish not to believe. I apologize for not listening to you to get the right treatment. My father passed on because of my foolish.' the message read."Sir, are you alright?" Silas asked, taking note of the change of emotion.Damien let out a deep breath and put his phone back into his pocket. "Nothing. Why don't we continue our tour," he said and Silas quickly led the way.Damien was shown every part of the hospital, which was all renovated and refurnished. He smiled in satisfaction as he got to the rooftop."This place was built with a little idea. It was improvised by a staff as we didn't want to make it look so boring. We wanted to give it a look that would make people want to come back here," he explained, hoping in his heart Damien wouldn't be angry with him for taking that step without asking first.Damien nodded and walked to the edge. He looked down and nodded in satisfaction. "This place
Damien's eyes enlarged seeing the huge figure on the cheque. A nine-figure amount. His words got caught in his throat and when he opened his mouth to speak, no words came out."That's a token of my appreciation. I know it's little, but it won't be all," the old man said taking Damien by surprise.Ten billion dollars wasn't little."But… but this is…" he started and went shut, not knowing the right words to say.The old man let out a deep breath and drew forward, "I can't thank you enough for saving my life. I thought I wouldn't be able to see my beautiful granddaughters again, but you made it possible. You are my savior," he said, wearing a smile on his face.Damien glanced at Eleanor who smiled at him and nodded her head, to affirm what her grandfather said."This is…a big amount," he finally said, after getting back his voice.They all looked at him when he said that, and the living room became awkwardly silent. The old man suddenly laughed and inclined back to his seat."You saved
Damien stared at the message, which was unexpected after what happened when they bumped into his car. He let out a deep breath and deleted it, not wanting to reply to her.One thing he remembered clearly about her was her tricky nature.Meet? He shook his head and rested back. She was trying to create a trap where he wouldn't be able to escape from.The driver pulled over in front of the hotel and he stepped out after paying his fare. He went up to his room and first dropped the proposal file."Such a crazy day," he muttered, as he suddenly remembered what the young girl, Olivia, did to him and the message sent by Elizabeth, which he wasn't sure how she got his number.He let out a deep breath and pulled off his jacket before he went to the bathroom to get refreshed.…Damien went through the proposal, which was good and beneficial to both of them, but more to him.Eleanor had everything in order. As usual, she knows how to tackle her business and brings in what benefits her.He looke
Damien was dumbstruck and in disbelief as what she said got registered in his head.Seeing how shocked he was, Eleanor drew closer to explain further. "It's not what I mean. I do not mean anything bad by bringing up your divorce," she clarified and went on to say, "All we are trying to say is, you should get back at the Calloway for everything they did to you. They made you feel like nothing, so you should return the energy to them and you can only do that when you have the wealth." She explained.Damien understood what she said, but it still didn't fit right with him. He rubbed his forehead and drew closer, "I am not interested in getting back at anyone or having a reason like revenge to make money."Jason rolled his eyes and pressed back, frustrated with how long it was taking for Damien to understand what they were up to. "This is a huge opportunity. Just think about this as you meet investors to help build your business, and luckily, you meet the biggest investors," he explained.
Olivia flinched in fright, knowing the footage would reveal she was the one who harassed him. She had slapped him and even tried to force him to apologize.Damien rubbed his neck, knowing Jason was waiting for him. It was a long time and when they met again, he would be late.He groaned at the thought.The security officers brightened in the footage and Mr Walter took it to go watch the video in his office. Olivia tried to go with him but he stopped her.After what seemed like forever even though it was just ten minutes, he came back with his face covered in anger."Father I," He cut her off by lifting his hand."Enough now, Olivia. Enough of this nonsense," he warned and faced her fully, "Is this how you go about harassing people all because you came from a wealthy family? I trained you better than this!" He raised his voice with disappointment lacing his words."Dad," She started but he ignored her and faced Damien. "I apologize for my daughter's lack of moral character. I should ha
Damien placed his hand on his cheek, taken aback by the slap, which he never expected and didn't deserve. "Go on, apologize to me," she instructed, not bothered about the fact that she slapped a grown man, who she didn't know and had never seen, in front of everyone present. He clenched his jaw and dropped his hand. "It is not proper to slap someone you don't know because of something terrible you did," he pointed out, trying to calm his rage. She smirked and crossed her arms across her chest, "Someone I don't know? Who the fuck are you? From the look of it," she scrutinized him from head to toe, "You are nothing. People like you are the drivers and servants working for me."The other ladies behind her laughed, enjoying the drama. Damien let out a deep breath and put his hands into his pocket. The young girl would be about eighteen or twenty, and she still had a long way to go, he thought.He shook his head in pity at who she was becoming even at a young age. "Young lady, you are
Damien stared at his phone, wondering why Jason had requested that they meet. Jason has been out of the country for months. His sudden request came as a huge surprise to Damien. He was back!He let out a deep breath and fell back on his bed. But what could be so urgent that he requested they see immediately? He wondered and sat up again. Did something happen to him? He wondered. When they first met, Jason approached him 'cause of his health and Damien was the only one who was able to come up with a long-lasting solution. He let out a deep breath and fell back on the bed, convincing himself it wasn't something serious. Maybe he wants them to catch up after staying away for so long.…Morning Damien got ready for his meeting with Jason, which was going to be in two hours. They were going to meet in a restaurant in the North and luckily for him, it wasn't far from the hotel. He looked at himself one more time in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. Getting everything he needed, h
Intimidated by them? Damien almost laughed at her remark, but he was too frustrated to react to it. "Are we still on this?" He questioned and dialed a number on his phone. "Then, why don't we settle this legally? I will call the cops to see what happened and they decide if I am at fault or not."Simon stepped forward and pointed a finger at him, "If you dare call the cops, I will make sure you spend your life in the hospital."Damien let out a deep breath and brought down his head. The day wasn't his luck. He wondered why he had to meet them."Babe, let's go. We are only wasting our time trying to get him to pay. We don't want to get involved with the cops, do we?" Elizabeth whispered into his ear and he stared at her for a few seconds before he averted his gaze to Damien. "You are lucky my wife is a forgiving woman. I swear, I would have made your life miserable and taught you not to cross the path of people bigger than you," he warned and walked away with his wife, heading back to
