"What?!”The wind stopped blowing in their direction as the atmosphere around them became dead silent for a moment.With a confused look on his face, Richard slowly walked up to where Christopher stood “Christopher, do you realise what you’re saying?!”“Yes Richard, weren’t you informed earlier on about the anticipated arrival of your boss this morning?”“No way…….”“The Heir of The Chin Chain Consortium……..Is really you?!”“Correct!”Richard’s mind travelled back to the time when Christopher ’s name was announced on the night of that business meeting party as the new Heir to the one and only Chin Chain Consortium.The biggest and the best within and beyond the fore walls of Midland City.Was it actually true?“But…..But I thought it was all a lie…….”“A well scripted scheme……”“How did all this happen?…..When?”Upon the shocking realisation he had just met, Richard became even more and more confused by the minute.All of this seemed so unbelievable to him but the truth was in plain s
CHAPTER 103Please take down his details and show him his way around his duties”“Yes Mr. Christopher”And just like that, Richard got a new job.Christopher walked out of the office and proceeded to make his way out of the building, his work for the day was finally over.“So Mr. Richard, I’ll need you to fill in these…... .Please hold on” Richard abruptly interrupted the man in the office as he hurriedly made his way out of the place.Just as Christopher was about to use the main exit, he heard someone calling out to him.“Christopher! Christopher!”Christopher could instantly tell that the voice belonged to none other than Richard especially since he was the only person who referred to him as Christopher.Nobody else in the office would dare to.“Yes Richard, is there a problem?”“Thank you…….I just wanted to thank you”“I feel so terrible, over the past few years, I’ve been nothing but cruel to”Richard was close to tears as he expressed his gratitude towards Christopher “How do I
Christopher continued to narrate to Mia how he first met Richard in the restaurant and coincidentally met him again at his company. “He was even more surprised than I was, can you imagine the shock we had on our faces” “Woah…….I never really imagined that things woulds go that far Christopher” “Me neither, I feel so terrible for what I did” “At least you owned up to your actions by doing the right thing……..That’s all that really matters now” “You cannot continue to dwell in your past regrets” Mia always had a way of making Christopher feel less guilty for his actions whenever he did something without a justification. “To be very honest, I should’ve never even done what I in the first place” “I was so blinded by my thirst for revenge that I couldn’t even point out the difference between what exactly was right and what was wrong” “Chrissy…….Don’t say that” “It wasn’t actually your fault……..His actions compelled you to take whatever step you did” “Basically, Richard was the roo
Dave walked straight right up into the hall. He had been informed by his father that there was going to be a dinner prepared for the heir. He wasn't around after all and who else could the heir be apart from him? He was just going to go there and take over what was rightfully his. Meanwhile, after Christopher heard these words, his hands were forged into a ball. He stood up from the point that he was standing, getting Raymond even more confused than he was already. "Where are you going, young master?" Raymond could not help but inquire since he was extremely confused but Christopher did not give any response. Rather he went ahead to ask the question that had been longing in his mind all this while. "If he isn't here to say Hello, then what is his motive?" He inquired. "Before your grandfather regretted his decision, Dave's father has always been the one overseeing the company. But that was until a year ago. He was caught in some financial crime. Enough to have built his own compa
The two guards drew closer towards Christopher but to the surprise of everyone, he didn't shake, even for a single moment."We are going to spare you. If you go back to our young master and apologize." They said,"Yeah. He should do that and save his life as soon as he can." The cleaner said, already shivering on his behalf."You don't have to say that Sia. I am sure that he is going to take the opportunity with open arms." The older one said."But what is he still waiting for? Should he be doing so already?" Another one of them said.But instead, Christopher decided to go contrary to their words and he crossed his hands over his chest and said."So what? Your master is rich so should I be shivering? Shaky like a baby? Oh my! I am so scared.You know how that is going to happen, hit your head hard on the wall and go to bed. Maybe the pain is going to be potent enough to make you come back to your senses." He replied.Rumbles of shock ran through the spine of everyone that was gathered
Mia couldn’t believe that she had fallen into her own trap this time and now, her own words have been twisted against her.She immediately changed the subject of their discussion and diverted it towards the pending issue at hand, Samuel and Elizabeth.“Let’s not get carried away by such mere distractions now” Mia said as she pulled out her phone from a small purse beside her.Raising a brow, she slightly waved it in the air “Shall we?”Nodding his head Christopher occupied a sitting position on the other end of the bench before Mia handed his phone over to him.Mia requested for Samuel’s contact which he immediately sent to her.“Should I also send Elizabeth’s, we might be needing it too”“Don’t bother, I already have it”Christopher stared at Mia with a questioning look on his face as he had both his brows raised.Noticing this, Mia became curious, wondering what she might have possibly said or done to warrant such a look.“What?” Looking away from her phone’s screen, she questioned
“The call”“What call?”Amazed by her sudden forgetfulness, Christopher stared at Mia in disbelief with his lips slightly parted. “Are you for real?”“Ohh, Samuel”All that talk about Elizabeth had made Mia to suddenly forget what they were initially supposed to do a short while ago.“Why are you staring at me like that?”“You forget your phone every single day yet I don’t react that way…..Jeez”Christopher wanted to say something to defend himself but he held back instead, it was only going to prolong the issue further and Christopher wasn’t prepared to take that route at the moment.And he certainly wasn’t prepared for another round of Mia’s banters, at least not until a few issues had been resolved with Samuel and Elizabeth.Mia went ahead to copy Samuel's number from the text that Christopher had sent her before proceeding to paste it on her dialer.One tap away from hitting the call button, she paused and turned to look at Vincent.“Go on, place the call already" Christopher urge
The dimming of the sun and the slow darkening of the day was obvious enough to announce the gradual approach of the evening to anyone who looked up in the sky.Due to the presence of ashy looking clouds in the sky, she could already tell there was a slight tendency it might rain that day.Or maybe it was just an exaggerated indication of the evening’s approach.Still sitting on the swing bench in the garden with her left ear occupied by an active earbud, she had a book in her hand.The book she had sat there reading all morning. It was fascinating that she could delve into the world of fiction simply.A soft cold wind blew Mia and sent chilly shivers down her spine. Because of this, the hairs on her arms began to stand, causing goosebumps to appear all over her body.This gave her a tingling sensation as she shivered and began rubbing both her arms with her palms, trying to warm up a little.It was almost as if nature was suspending her activity on the bench, sending her back into th
