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,
A party was put together by the end of the day. Rosie thought it was a good idea because it would help the staff to get to know themselves very quickly, and also to celebrate their first business deal. They moved to a small, but expensive restaurant and it was rented out to them, courtesy of the company. David didn't realize that so many people worked for him, not until he looked around the restaurant and realized that there were hundreds of people in there. They were all busy eating and laughing, that was before Rosie, the boss stood up with her glass of champagne. " Can I get your attention, please?" She requested. It wasn't very hard or get it, she was beautiful and alluring enough to get it without asking. " I want to thank all of you for trusting this company enough to work with us." She started. " I know that we have just begun, but I assure you that you will all be glad to work with us. To us!"" To us!"Everyone cheered around and the merriment continued. David looked l
"Excuse me?" David was visibly offended. " Where is this coming from?"" I don't know, maybe you will be able to tell your father." She said. " Perhaps you will have a good enough explanation for him about why you are now sleeping with your receptionist."David was confused and annoyed at the same time. " So this is what is going on!" David laughed. " He can't speak to his own son, but he keeps tabs on me!""Oh, don't be ridiculous, David." She groaned, annoyed. " He has done more for you than some fathers have done for their children, and you have been very disrespectful of that."" Since when did who I have sex with become your business?!" He snapped at her." What, you expect me to sit back and watch you destroy your life?"She crinkled her eyes. "I would prefer it if you mind your business." He said to her. " Watch yourself."She didn't even blink, this was the first time they were disagreeing so huge. It's ironic what this had become. She was someone that he respected so much,
David felt a heaviness in the back of his throat, Rosie didn't even say a word to him as she walked away. David wanted to go after her, he wanted to grab her by her hand and yell into her face, till he got all the truth out of her. " David." Stefanie touched his arm. He looked at her, with a blank stare. " Jesus, you look so white." She chuckled. " Did you see a ghost or something?"Worse than a ghost, that would be what he would use to describe it. " Hey, I got to go." He started to head to the entrance door. " Don't you need permission for that?" She yelled. " You are going to get into trouble."He only waved above his head, he didn't stop. He pushed the door open and immediately felt the breeze against his face. He crossed the road very quickly to get to the other side, Dominic Ford's main building. The security guard gave him a weird look and tried to stop him, but David angrily shoved the guy away. He got in and started to walk to the elevator. Because of his angry entra
This was the time that David saw the need to dig into the life of his supposed father. He spent the entire night scrolling through the internet, trying to find anything sketchy about his father. Rosie was right, his father was almost assassinated many times before. There was no mention of what happened to the assassins when they were caught and that raised another worry for him. Maybe he would have been tempted to call him if he still had the phone number. It wasn't like he was hungry for a father figure, but it was annoying that the most wealthy man in the city would stand up to claim to be his father, yet he didn't show up. He sat at his computer till his fingers ached and his eyelids felt like there were bags of cement on them. He was so exhausted that he fell asleep on the table there. He was woken up the next morning by a bang on his door. He jerked awake and walked to the door. It was Dre and Ethan, they were very excited. " We have been offered jobs!" Dre yelled. " Ju
