Hi Readers, all mistakes would be corrected tomorrow. I'm having issues with my phone which automatically republishes previous chapters.
"Calm down, my son." He begins to beg his son knowing that if he let Eric take this decision, he would lose a lot, his company would be taken from his family forever when he had a representative son, a grandson whom he took as a son and a great grandchild who will take over after Eric. The decisions he wanted to take are always done by those who have no kids or relatives but he had. "It's quite unnecessary," he said to himself. "Now that you want to leave, where do you intend to stay, how do you think your life would be?" He sighs. "Learn to be tolerant, don't be too aggressive. You don't even know if I was joking to test your reaction and you just burst out." He sighs again, shaking his head. Eric is dumbfounded. He reasons that he might have been kidding him. Which father would just lay down his son from his inheritance like that after registering his name with the government and having the documents of ownership stamped? Those who give all they have to charity do it when des
This makes Eric chuckle. "Alright, I will. I promise not to be quick tempered like that again." "Good one, boy!" He says and hangs the call. Even when he was an adult, he found nothing wrong in terming him as a boy after all he was his grandchild. Eric smiles in ecstasy as he rises from the roadside bench he sat on. He then proceeds to pick the call of his PA. Colton had called to enquire why he hadn't yet arrived, thinking that something was wrong because Eric was never late to work. "What's wrong sir, is anything wrong?" "No Colton, I was speaking to my dad over the phone to sort out some issues. And besides, I'm walking. I didn't want to use my car today." "Wooh!" Colton is amused. "I hope the issue has been resolved?" "Yeah, sure. Thanks for caring." "You're welcome sir." "Don't worry, I'll be there in ten minutes. Is that okay with you?" "Yes, I'll get to inform the engineers, surveyors and architects here. We are sure waiting for you." "Alright!" He hangs the
He arrives at his company, to see Colton and the group of engineers with the surveyors and architects that would be going on a tour with them. They greet him, delighted that he has finally arrived. Colton comes forward and gives him a handshake. "Good morning sir. I'm glad to have you here. We are set to take-off on our journey, the journey would be taking an hour, twenty minutes and we would arrive there safe and sound." "Woww! That's great. Can we go now." They pack all the equipment they will need for the survey to the large coaster bus they would be using, while Eric waits for them. Immediately they are done, Colton signals him and he rises up, follows him out of the apartment, to the luxurious bus with different compartment. Right inside the bus, Colton who has been friends with Eric starts up a conversation with him which he didn't want to while I'm the presence of their team. "Sir, your dress code looks so nice, why did you choose to put on this to work instead of your norm
Eric is shocked to hear Colton saying something similar to what he did but he told no one, if at all people should know, it should be in Hollywood because Amanda belonged to Hollywood, she has no business doing in his other companies, just like this one."You want me to tell you more?" Colton extends his head towards him, he jilts his head towards him and makes a funny sound. "Yeah, why not! What do you mean and who told you?""I have Amanda as my personal friend," he laughs. Eric opens his eyes real wide, his jaw drops. He stares at Colton like a zombie, no one would have made him believe that such relationship existed between both of them. With a nod of his head, he gestures to Colton to continue. "We were best friends back then in those days, even till now we are still close friends just that our intimacy is no longer as strong as it used to be before. This is due to the work stresses, you know, we don't see each other regularly and the fact that she needs to be with a guy whom s
After the survey, he returns to the bus with his team, together with Colton. They head back to the office but he doesn't have much to do here, he has something more important to do at his E-commerce store in Elden Avenue. Though it's called a store, it covers a massive area of land just like a mini-campus. All varieties of goods in the whole world are sold here, being divided into two divisions, one part is meant for physical sales while the other for orders. In each of his company, he has a convenient office in it and today is the day he is going to meet with the lady who has been qualified to be the managing director, being a very vital position, he had to be present to make the final interview where he is going to use his instinct and examine what type of a person she is. He learnt she is a woman, then he also planned initially to verify that whoever would be chosen would be capable of handling the position both in qualification and also pretending to values. He needs an honest pe
Scarlett becomes panicked deep inside her. The memories of all she did to Eric flashes back across her mind, she shrieks in horror. She realizes that she was way too mean. It's quite sad that now she is supposed to be enjoying the benefits of her change of lifestyle happens to be when she is going to bear the consequences of her actions. She is not even sure if Eric would accept her. "Good afternoon, sir." "What's good about the afternoon?" He asks her, giving her a bad stare that sends shock running through her veins. "No, actually……." "Shhhh!" Eric silences her even before she gets to complete her statement. She shrieks in shock. Then the door opens. He had pressed the dial on his phone which is meant to summon Hughes to his office. This is barely twenty minutes after Scarlett came in. "Yes sir," he responds to the summon with courtesy. "Why did you approve the appointment of this woman here? Don't you know that she is an abuser?" He yells at Hughes who is only surprised
The excited Scarlett wastes no time in signing it. Immediately after she signs the form, Eric rises from his seat dismissing her. "You can start work right away. My Personal Assistant would be available to guide you for your first three weeks here to make sure that you do the right thing always. You may now go!" After another ``Thank you`` she packs her things and leaves Eric's office straight to the exterior of the company but then she remembers that Eric asked her to start work immediately. "How foolish am I, going home when I'm actually asked to start work. Anyways, let me go to the toilet and call her." She refers to her mom. The toilet would prove the safest place for her to call Susan, after she locks the door, no one would be able to hear what she is saying. Even if she is questioned on where she went upon returning, she has the perfect excuse. She went to the toilet! Hurrying up, to the third floor where the administrative offices are, with the toilets and bathrooms for se
"The institution belongs to Eric and guess what more…." She leaves a space for suspense. "He accepted me! I have to start work immediately, I'm sorry I can't return home this afternoon as I promised to take you out and celebrate if I get the job." "Come on, that's not an issue as long as you have gotten the job. Why should you be bothered? We can go out at night! But I'm so surprised that he took you after all that you did to him?" Susan shrugs her shoulders, one part of her mind thinks that Eric is foolish for doing this, another voice inside her mind cautions her. Have you asked her if he talked about the maltreatment? This is one vital aspect of the scenario she should have asked right from the beginning but excitement wouldn't let her. "Scarlett, did you talk about the maltreatment you showed towards him and how sorry you are, what did he say?" "Yes mom. He seems not to be so bothered by that. I asked him how he felt, why he was giving me this job after all I did to him but
