At Roland's mansion;It was almost midnight and Miranda and Roland were yet to have feedback from the Chesterfield investment company. They were starting to wonder if their letter even got delivered to the higher ups in the company. “Are you sure you didn't give the letter to an ordinary secretary at the company?!” Miranda questioned for the thousandth time. Roland, knowing fully well that he submitted the letter just like any other person would have, still nodded to assure her that he gave the letter to someone with a more significant position in the company. Which isn't true. “Babe, I'm sure of what I'm telling you. Just relax, we'll get feedback soon” Roland said that to also assure himself, all he was holding on to now was just hope.“It's almost 12 am. How long do we have to wait?” Miranda asked tiredly. She had high hopes at first but now it is slowly melting away.Roland pulled her closer to him and placed her on his laps, her legs hanging on either side of his, so she was s
They finally arrived at Chesterfield investment company. Apart from being an influential company it was also known for its luxurious interior and exterior design. It included a sleek glass facade with a minimalist aesthetic design.They got down from the car and made their way to the entrance, Sebastien placed his hand around her waist as they entered the company's reception which consisted of a grand lobby and the reception area.They walked towards the reception area and an old woman was seated behind the desk, writing something on a huge log book. She looked up when she sensed our presence and then she smiled at Sebastien. “Good day, sir” the woman greeted politely even though it was obvious that she was older than him.Sebastien replied with a polite nod.”Thank you ma'am and good day”There were a lot of people on the queue waiting to be attended to but Sebastien just stood by the side even though Isabelle suggested they take a seat otherwise they'll stand for hours but Sebastien
At Roland's mansion, Roland was still busy plotting how he'll execute his plans, when his phone rang and it was his friend, he picked it up. “hello! Hello! I really need your help.” Roland said frantically. It was almost dawn and they still hadn't gotten any notification from Chesterfield investment company. Miranda was out on an errand so this was the perfect time to make this call. “What do you need?” His friend questioned, wondering why Roland was sounding this way.“I need your signature. I want to forge a partnership agreement and you are the only person that can help me” Roland said, his friend, Leo, who is a lawyer is the only person capable of bailing him out of this situation. “Hold on! Hold on! I do think I'll be able to do that, I can get my certificate revoked if anyone finds out. Sorry bro, but that's too risky” Leo quickly backed away, he couldn't bear the thought of losing a certificate he spent more than five years schooling to get.“No, just listen to me. There's n
Day of the meeting with master Wilson,The family was seated on a huge round table and master Wilson sat at the edge of the table. Isabelle and Sebastien sat next to each other and Miranda and Roland sat next to each other.“As you all know, the three days grace I gave you is up and I need you all to state your progress one after the other” master Wilson instructed them.Miranda's face was still quite swollen from Romero's slap. It was obvious because she winced every now and then. “Grandfather, are you just going to go straight to that? Wouldn't you at least reprimand them again for allowing Romero to slap me!”“I already reprimanded them, Miranda. And I think that is more than enough”“but grandfather, Romero and I were having dinner peacefully until they came in” she then pointed in their direction, “they made him slap me!” “We didn't make him slap you. You got what you deserve because you are a rude b*tch!” Sebastien threw back at her.“That's a lie! If not for me Romero wouldn
Isabelle was so happy, she now had some money to get basic things she needed. If she asked Sebastien, she was sure that he would've given her the money but she didn't want to bother him. They had to wait in the house for lunch, because master Wilson insisted that they do that. So after he rested for a while he came downstairs and the table had already been set. The long ornate table was set with China crystal glasses and sparkling silverware. A crisp white table cloth adorned the table with a delicate lace trim adding a touch of elegance. Lunch in the Wilson's household was always extravagant!Master Wilson sat at the head of the table, blessed the food and they began eating. Miranda scrunched up her face, “why is this retard seating at the same table as us? Isn't that an insult?!”Isabelle just glared at her, “Keep quiet Miranda! This retard here took part in helping Isabelle recover the debt. This is the least we could do for him!” Master Wilson said, he wasn't in the mood for h
“But come to think of it, there's no way a retard should be able to afford forty million dollars. Yet alone spend it on an earring. Roland, are you sure your payment did not go through, regardless of whether it was out of stock or not? You know it could have been a website glitch” Tony, another cousin of Isabelle who didn't like her said. Roland, who knew he didn't even have the money to buy it even if it was available, nodded and said, “yes, that is true. Because I even inputted my credit card pin!” All these while master Wilson had finished lunch and gone back to his room. Miranda felt delighted at that and she stood up, regaining her confidence “you this liar! How did a retard like you get money to buy Jessica wright's limited edition earring” The earring box was placed on the table so Miranda snatched it and held it close to herself line a priceless jewel. “Oh, I knew this just had to be for me, afterall the delivery guy even said for ‘miss wilson’ and last time I checked
Isabelle was even more surprised, any time money to be paid was made mention of. Sebastien was always quick to extend a hand of help. And he always ended up getting mocked at the end of the day.“No! You always say you will give money or spend money but at the end of the day you end up stealing it!” Adeline attacked him.Adeline made mention of that as if knowing that was what Isabelle was also thinking about. They cleared the debt together. It looked like it was because of Sebastien but they later discovered that Charles had a role to play. The Jessica wright's limited edition earring, everyone thought it was bought by Sebastien, meanwhile it was bought by Ronald. “Master Wilson called to tell me that you nearly created a scene at the house! Tell me, why would you do that! If you didn't buy something do not claim that it was bought by you. We all know you are a retard, don't try to sugar-coat and be what you are not!” Adeline attacked him, she was tired of the constant shame Sebasti
They finally arrived at Bright Spring Bank. The bank was very beautiful with green carpet grass in the front yard and a beautiful artistic design.Sebastien and Isabelle came down from the car and they walked side by side into the building through the automatic glass door at the entrance.The first person they saw when they walked in was Amos, the mean man from yesterday. “I want to have a meeting with the manager,” Sebastien said, not even bothering to exchange greetings first. He just went straight to the point.Amos who witnessed the whole drama between Adeline and Sebastien yesterday just burst out laughing, “when that woman referred to you as a retard yesterday, I thought she was just joking but now you have really shown me that you are a retard! Manager?” He burst out laughing again.Isabelle was shocked at his outburst. What was wrong if Sebastien said he wanted to see the manager of the bank.“So what is wrong if I want to see your manager? How does that make me a retard?!” S
