David was on his phone when he heard a loud shout from the living room. He didn't know what had happened, he just jumped and rushed out. Ethan had also stormed out of the room so they met in the living room to see what was wrong with Dre because he was the one who screamed. " What's the problem, man?" Ethan asked." Yeah, are you okay?" David asked. " Check the class group chat, Nick left very huge news," Dre said with excitement in his eyes. Ethan and David heaved with relief, that wasn't what they expected to hear, but it was better than bad news. Dre gave them an annoyed look. " What's the matter with both of you? I haven't even said anything yet, but both of you are already acting uninterested." He complained. " That's because when you screamed, I thought something bad happened," Ethan said. " I thought your mother died, or something."" If my mother had died, I would have been like the happiest man in the whole world." Dre huffed. Ethan and David had no other choice but
Anger was seriously building up inside David. After all the atrocious deeds Nick had committed, he still had the heart to make this comment. He could see the other of their classmates commenting in the group. Those lowlives were insulting David and calling him nothing. They were also urging Dre and Ethan to get away from him so that they could get jobs. Suddenly, Ethan was typing out a message, David didn't know that he was online. " Nick, what is wrong with you?! Why would you go to that extent to frustrate our lives?" Nick was provoked. " We have done nothing wrong to you." " Don't act like your words matter to me," Nick replied. " If you are desperate for a job, do the needful. Tell David that you are no more his friend, right now."" It's really simple, it doesn't take a lot." One of their classmates typed out." You and Dre will be getting an automatic ticket into Nick's company! "David felt the rawness of hurt in his heart, but he didn't type out anything to reply to them.
David couldn't utter one word when he looked at her when he found out who she was. She looked at him from head to toe, a small smile on her face. " We have to stop bumping into each other like this." She chuckled. " What are you even doing here?""Um..." David had to scratch his head first. " I just came to look around."" Silly me." She rolled her eyes. " You are the owner, I don't know why I am asking such a stupid question."David quickly looked around to make sure that no one heard what she said. He held her arm and pulled her outside, she frowned in confusion, but she followed him out. " What's the matter? Why are you acting strange?" She asked. " Because no one in there knows who I am," David answered. " I don't want anyone to know yet." " Well, they deserve to know." She insisted. " I will go right in and inform all of them."She was trying to walk in again, but he held her arm and stopped her again. " I don't think you get it. I like the way they are clueless about it
"Yo, David!"David was in a dream that he didn't want to get out of when he heard his name. He tossed around in his bed and wanted to curse at Ethan for screaming his name out so loudly. " David! Come see this!" Ethan yelled. " Coming," David said. He doesn't have any shirt on him. He found his way through his sleep-heavy eyes, to the living room. He still has no idea what was going on, Dre and Ethan were by the door. He pushed through them to see that a courier was at their door. She barely had her face visible as she struggled to hold up the big box. Her face turned white and her jaw dropped when she saw David without a shirt. Dre turned around and glared at David. " What are you doing?" He asked through clenched teeth. " Go get a shirt."David ignored him and looked at the girl. " What's the matter?" He asked no one in particular. " She's here to deliver a package, but I told her that she has the wrong house," Ethan said. " What? What's in it?" David touched his brow.
David walked into the building to see that everywhere was finally organized and ready to be available for the public. Gary was right, Rosie was doing a good job. When he walked to the reception, he met Stefanie there already. She was watering the plants like she did the last time they met. The flowery scent of her perfume hit his nose even before he got close to her. Her face burst with a happy smile when she saw him. " Hey, David! I see you got the job!" She gestured to his perfectly ironed shirt and pants. " How did the interview go?"David totally forgot about having an interview. It was normal for job seekers to go for interviews before they are taken, but since he owned the company, no one reminded him of any interview. He gave her a nervous laugh as he scratched his head. " Yeah, the interview." He pretended to have just remembered. " It was quite hectic, but I'm equal to the task."She leaned forward as if to tell him a secret. " Have you seen our boss?" She whispered.
Working there was the best thing that has ever happened to David. He liked looking out the window and seeing the busy street on this side of the city. Anytime he was bored, he called Gary or one of his friends. They talked for some time and it made him feel better. The one person he didn't call, no matter how bored he was, was his father. He couldn't even bring himself to read the cold numbers Rosie wrote on the piece of paper. What was he going to say to him? Tell him that he liked all the monetary gifts and expensive shoes and watches, but that he wasn't impressed that he was left alone to forge without a father?He couldn't do all of that so he tore up the paper after three days. He tore them up so well that it would be impossible for anyone to decode the numbers on them. Afterward, he carried on with his day as if nothing happened. Sometimes he even forgot that he had a father, or that this multi-billion company was his. Apart from Stefanie, he had started to make friends w
Everyone was slammed with shock, they all had their eyebrows pulled up in surprise. If a pin had dropped on the ground, someone would have heard it fall. Nick and David were having a stare down and tension was building up very rapidly. Rosie wasn't sure of what to do. If it had been at her own company, she would have asked Nick and his father to be kicked out, but this was different. Dominic Ford might be a billionaire, but this was his son's new company. It wasn't about the money they were going to lose, it was more about the reputation this might leave. She cleared her throat and decided to take charge of the situation. " Mister David Wyatt is a hard-working junior manager here." She smiled. " He can't clean your shoes because that's not his job." Nick snorted and looked at her, he does like being in charge very badly. " If I said that he is going to clean my shoes, then he will do it." Nick laughed. " It's either that, or we are not going to be doing business with you peopl
They were already about two hours into the meeting, but Nick wasn't paying attention. He was glaring at David while everyone else was talking about pushing both companies to the next level. " ...And the profit shall also be shared equally," David said. " I believe that we are going to put in equal effort to achieve this."" Oh my God, I can't bear to listen to this anymore." Nick laughed in anger. " Why is he speaking like this? Like he owns the company or something?"" Mister Dominic has appointed him and me to speak on behalf of his son," Rosie said. " I believe that you don't have a problem with that."Nick slapped his hand against the table before he sat upright. " Look, lady, there is a hierarchy in this world." He said to her, " Why do you think that God created it that way?"Rosie only stared back. " People like me are not supposed to be mixed up with fellows like him." He pointed at David. " It's against the natural order of everything."" Mister Nick..."" Listen to me,
"Hey!" Stefanie took out her gun.Normally, she would have aimed it at Stefanie, but she knew that it wasn't her doing, so she aimed it at Lucinda. Tears were streaming down Stefanie's eyes, her hand was shaking, but the gun was still pointed at him. "I'm sorry." She sobbed. "I don't want to do it, David, she said she is going to post everything about my past life." "Just do it." He told her with a still face. "Go on, do it!" "Don't say that!" She cried. "Please." "I have the flash right here with me, Stefanie," Lucinda called after her. "If you don't do what I want, I will ruin your life!" "You have the black card, it has more money than anyone has seen in your lineage." Rosie hissed. Lucinda looked at her and laughed. "If it isn't his lap dog speaking." Lucinda mocked her. "How do you feel? You are right behind him all the time and you think that he is not going to fuck you up really soon?" Rosie wasn't fazed, the gun was still pointed at Lucinda, one word from David and s
Stefanie couldn't understand why Lucinda was smiling even though she had just told her that David ruined her life. She kept down the plate of food, she was now very sure of the fact that it was definitely poisoned. Lucinda noticed this, but she just laughed it off. She picked up the remote control and changed the channel immediately, she had put on a comedy show and was laughing hysterically with the audience. Stefanie was watching her as if she had gone mad. "David took your home?" She swallowed. Lucinda stopped as she looked at her. "What, you think that I am lying or something?" She frowned. "No, that's what I mean, what I am trying to say is that he never said anything about this," Stefanie said. She was trying her best to show Lucinda that she wasn't trying to be offensive. Lucinda crossed her legs as she looked at Stefanie, her eyes piercing through her soul. "You think David Wyatt is a saint, don't you?" She asked. "What?" "You think he is a saint, I mean, that's ho
After watching the CCTV footage in the cafe, Rosie and Tommy left again. Tommy drove while Rosie sat beside him, deep in thought. "So what do you think happened here?" He asked. "And where did she go?" "We saw her break the black card after she made the withdrawal, she could be anywhere at this point." Rosie sighed. Tommy glanced at her, but he kept on driving. "If the black card is only given out by David Wyatt, maybe there should be ways to find out how much she withdrew, maybe it wouldn't give us an idea of what she wanted to use the money for." "Withdrawals made with the cards can be tracked, that's why they were specially made. For untraceable transactions." She said, Tommy faced the road as he kept going, it seemed like there was so much on her mind. "Hey." He said to her, "Don't worry we will find her." "I don't know, Tommy, I have a very bad feeling about this." She confessed. He saw how worried she was, so he took her hand and gently squeezed it gently. Firstly he
The cameras showed Stefanie leaving, but no one saw her walk out. She wasn't dragged out, she went out of the building without anyone forcing her. That fueled the possibility of her actually running away, which made David even more angry. He was so disturbed that Rosie took it upon herself to dig even more into the situation. She spent the night at the office alone, reviewing the CCTV videos. A coffee to keep her eyes open and her brain alert, she kept watching the videos again and again. She noticed that Stefanie came out holding her phone very close to her chest like she didn't want anyone to take it from her. "Strange…" Rosie got closer to the screen of the computer. Stefanie was looking around too like she wanted to make sure that no one was looking at her. She finally got out of the building and into a taxi, the taxi didn't have a plate number and the driver wasn't seen. "Son of a bitch…" she muttered. She heard a knock on her door and her ears stood up like those of a
It was like a joke, she was there for one second and she was gone for the next. It looked like a joke, everyone went from wanting to kill David to looking for Stefanie, it was like she disappeared into thin air. Nothing was coming forth, not even after they looked at all the cameras and found nothing, it was a worrisome situation. After she had been missing for twenty-four hours, the police were invited. It was a sight to see, everyone stopped when the chief of the police came to see David personally. He walked into the building with his guards and they marched to David's office. David was waiting, his hands behind his back and a very worried look on his face. "Mister Wyatt? I am the chief of police, Frederick Lawson, I will be handling your case." "Hello, thank you for being here. Please let's talk in my office." David led him in and the door was shut tight. It was just David, the Chief, and Rosie, no one else was there. The chief took off his large hat and placed it on h
Even David didn't realize that his mother was going to be there, given that he didn't invite her to the "party." He knew where to look, Rosie was looking as guilty as a pickpocket caught in the act. "You call my mum!" He looked at her. "Rosie, is this you having a death wish?!" His mother rolled her eyes as she placed a defensive hand on Rosie's shoulder. "Imagine what would have gone wrong if she didn't." His mother said. "Maybe you should be thankful to her." She looked around at all those pointing guns at her son, but her face froze immediately. "Antonio." She called. Antonio dropped his gun even further as he slapped his face. "Don't tell me that Alexa is his mum!" Now this was David's turn to be confused. The Grand Master was looking at them with a smile on her face. She didn't really come here to save anyone, she didn't care that much, she only thought it would be fun to watch. "Thanks for calling me, Rosie," Alexa said. She took a step forward, she examined the situ
Finally, almost at midnight, Lilian and Antonio arrived at the office. There were no extravagant billboards, no sign to show that it was David's place, everything was turned down. Lilian texted David very quickly to make sure that he knew they were there. Antonio got out of the car, he couldn't stop looking at the huge building. "Wow, this is so beautiful." He said. "Whose place is this?" "I didn't research that, but Dominic Ford's son will be here, there is supposed to be a dinner party." She said, "Oh, I see." He said. "We somehow were able to get seats." "Nothing better than having front seats to watch that fucker die." He muttered. Lilian smiled as they walked into the building. David planned this very well, there were people there to meet them and they were led up to the first floor, then the terrace. Antonio stopped when the beautiful scene met his eyes. The beautiful lights, the beautiful decorations, the nice, huge table, he was blown away by it immediately. "Wow,
Rosie's eyes almost popped out of her socket when David told her about the new development. "Wait, please, wait a minute." She held up her hand. "Are you trying to tell me that you, willingly, invited her Uncle– who wants to kill you? – to come to see you kill yourself?!" "Exactly, that's just about it." He nodded. She puffed out her mouth and held her hands behind her neck. "David, I mean this in the most respectful way, what the fuck?!" "It's high time I get this settled," David said. "I mean, how long am I going to keep playing this game with him?" "How do you intend to kill yourself?!" She asked. "That man may be retired, but he is still very dangerous.""We are all dangerous people, aren't we?" He asked. "Maybe, just maybe, I will be able to have a civil conversation with him, but if not, I will die." "You can't die!" She rebuked him with horror in his eyes. "You are the owner of a trillion-dollar business empire, you can't die!" David looked at the pen in his hand. Black
It looked like it took just a twinkle of an eye and David was on the plane with Stefanie. He couldn't leave her alone in the town, she looked sick and he didn't trust her uncle. As they sat in the plane, they were flying through the night. They were sitting a few seats from each other and no, it was not because they got into some kind of argument. It was because she was dozing off and David laid her on the chair to give her as much space as she needed. She never really slept off, her eyes were half shut, and she was looking at David through the half-shut lids. He looked worried, the way he looked out of the window, even though it was nothing but darkness out there. She felt her heart worry for him, whatever was in his head right now that was making him worry so much. She knew how much he cared for Gary, the man was like his father – but David wasn't going to be caught saying that. She shut her eyes again and said a small prayer to God. For David's sake, let Gary be okay. She
