FROM A CHEAP PAUPER, TO A GREEK TYCOON

An unexpected gift II

Chapter 7

Dimitri walked to the kitchen as Mr Aaron followed him from behind. The kitchen was filled with different chefs working out exhaustively to make sure that the party was going smoothly.

"Listen up everyone" Mr Aaron said walking into the kitchen.

"This is Nicholas, the new chef, he would help with the cooking and serving make sure to treat him well" Mr Aaron said and attempted walking away when Mr Brown the head chef stopped him with his words

"But sir, I don't need another chef, I'm okay with the workers I have," Mr Brown said.

Mr Aaron frowned broadly as he walked to Mr Brown with daring steps "Don't ever question my words or go against my words again. Trust me, you don't want to offend someone you shouldn't" He said and walked away.

Dimitri smiled inwardly, one of the major reasons he liked Mr Aaron was the way he handles issues, rattling clear and meticulous. 

"Hey you! You shouldn't just stand there doing nothing, get yourself busy, would you? We have lots of guests present today, and you don't want to offend any of them" The head chef said as he poured some glass of Champagne and handed it over rashly to Dimitri who was quick enough to handle it before it spills and the glass shatters on the floor.

He frowned broadly and walked out of the kitchen to the hall where the main party was taken place and his phone rang, he picked it up after he confirmed the caller

"Boss, the company has been rendered bankrupt" The person said and hung up. He smiled inwardly and took a glass of Champagne gulping the whole content at once "This just got interesting" He said to himself as he headed to where Raymond and Lyda were seated.

He watched as they acted like two teenage couples who just fell in love, they both were laughing and caressing each other which he saw as being childish and low headed.

"Get a bed, will you?" He said, as he dropped two glass of Champagne on the table

"Wow look who we have here, I thought you were here as a guest, it seems your situation got worse" Lyda said, laughing hilariously.

He watched her reaction and smirked, she seemed to like the fact that he was a waiter and she was the guest he had to serve. He ignored her and looked at Raymond "What did you say is the name of your company again?" He asked pretending to have forgotten 

Raymond smiled proudly as he took a sip from the drink Dimitri served him. "You seem so interested in my company, Dimitri, if you want I can give you a position as a cleaner or something..." He said mockingly as Lyda bost into uncontrollable laughter as she found the scene very amusing.

"There would be no need for that, looks like we're both the same now, Mr Raymond" Dimitri said mockingly as an evil grin appeared on his face.

"How dare you compare your wretched self to me, I'm the heir of a multi million dollar company. I have a lot of things to my name but you're just a pauper, a meaningless entity" Raymond blurted out disdainfully.

Dimitri dropped the tray of Champagne on the table and lean closer to Raymond "Seems you haven't checked the news, I don't think you have a lot of things to your name anymore Mr Raymond, your company has gone bankrupt, everything you have has disappeared into thin air, you're nothing" Dimitri fired at him coldly but with an aura of victory 

"What do you mean" Raymond said, and suddenly his phone rang, it was his dad. He quickly picked up the call " Hello da…" He wasn't able to finish when his dad interrupted him.

"Where are you Raymond? What have you done? Have you checked the news? The company has gone bankrupt and all funding from Steel group has been withdrawn, who did you offend? What exactly did you do? Come home immediately!" His father said and hung up.

Raymond looked at Dimitri confusedly as thick sweat began to gather on his face. Dimitri smiled in satisfaction as he watched the once arrogant asshole turn cold within seconds "You should consider leaving before the reporters find you here, trust me you don't want to answer any of their questions" Dimitri said mockingly 

Raymond stood up immediately and walked away ignoring Lyda who ran after him confusedly "Ray, wait for me!" She shouted and ran after him in embarrassment.

Dimitri smiled and sipped from the drink on the table before walking away, his phone rang, he looked at the caller, it was Mr Aaron he immediately picked up "What is it?" He blurted out coldly.

"Boss, your brothers have arrived" Mr Aaron said from the other end 

"Good, where are they coming from" He asked curiously 

"They're coming from the main entrance of the building" Mr Aaron answered sharply 

"Prepare the flash drive and make sure to act on my signal, where is my mother?"

"In her room, dressing, she would be out soon, boss if you want to go over to see her I suggest you make the discussion snappy because young master Damien and Vincent would also come over to see your mother before going to the main hall and I'm sure you're not ready to meet them" Mr Aaron said with concern in his voice 

"It won't hurt seeing them, would it? Make preparations, we need to present my brothers with a welcoming gift" Dimitri said and hung up.

He walked elegantly to his mother's lodge and placed a soft and curious knock on the door.

"Come in" Mrs Steel's soft voice sounded from inside the room.

He smiled and walked inside the room closing the door behind him "Good day mum, you should consider asking for names before permitting anyone to come in" Dimitri said as he knelt down on the floor and caressed her hair softly

"I knew it was you, silly" She said with a smile on her wrinkled face. She was sitting on the bed about putting on her vintage heels when he walked in so she had to stop to answer him.

"Of course you do," He said, laughing a little. He was a completely different person when he was around his mum, anyone that saw them would see how adorable their relationship was.

"It's been two years you've been away, son, I've missed you yet you didn't come home immediately you arrived in Anatolia" She said, placing a fake frown on her face and pretending to be sad.

Dimitri smiled as he sat beside her and placed his hand around her shoulder "I'm sorry mum, I really did miss you too but I had pressing issues to take care of, I'd make it up to you soon" He said, though he tried to make his voice sound reassuring as possible, she could sense the sadness in between those words.

"You have trained so hard to bring those murderers down still my heart still raise anytime you're not within reach, please stay careful, I don't want to lose you like I lost your father, I've lost too many people and you're the only one I have and I'm living for so don't get into dangerous situations, you can always call my men to take care of things for you, they're all yours" Mrs Steel said worriedly.

"I understand your concerns mum and I…." He was not able to finish the words when an aggressive knock was planted on the door making him turn his back to the door.

"Who is it?" Mrs Steel inquired curiously, as she wanted to know if it was who her instinct was telling her it is.

"It's Damien and Vincent mum" A deep voice sounded from the other end, though it was more of an innocent reply but an aura of mockery lies deep within those words.

Dimitri immediately stood and gave his mum an assuring look "It's alright mum, I would hide in the walldrop, make sure not to act suspicious" He whispered to his mum and immediately entered the wardrobe and closed it.

Just immediately the door was opened revealing two masculine men; they both had a bit of an height and had tattoos all over their bodies, but Damien only had on his right hand while Vincent had in almost every opening of his body.

"It's good to see you again mum" Damien said and sat on the sofa in the room. He had a pretty seductive Mexican ascent which made him look even more attractive.

"What are you doing here?" Mrs Steel asked irritatedly "You should be at the party" She added 

"Isn't it bad manners to just go into the party without seeing our beloved mother?" Damien blurted out mockingly, making Vincent laugh.

"You seem to have become so relaxed mum, you should know your place and what we can do to you" Vincent said with a smile on his face but the tone of his words voiced out hostility.

Dimitri clenched his fist as he watched the heart breaking scene, he felt like storming out of his hiding and teaching the two assholes a lesson but he had to control himself so as not to ruin the plan he had carefully crafted out for years.

Damien stood up from the sofa and walked closer to his mother, he noticed she had unbuckled vintage heels on, he knelt down and helped her buckle the heels "I believe I'm getting a nice response by the time you announce the heir of the company? I don't want to have to kill you to take over the company. We can do it on a peaceful note, don't you think?" He said and stood up then walked out of the room while Vincent followed from behind.

When Dimitri was sure that it was safe, he came out of his hiding as anger was written all over his face "Mum, plans has changed, you're not going to be the one to make the announcement of the heir to the company, your life is as stake, they would come for you once you've announced someone that is outside them, I would instruct my driver to drive you to my safe house, wait in the room" He said and didn't wait for a response before rushing out of the room.

He immediately picked up his phone and called Mr Aaron and few minutes later the call was answered "Yes boss"

"Leak out the video in the projector now, and make sure it humiliates the both of them, then call the driver and tell him to drive my mum to my safe house, plans have changed a little" He said, and hung up.
