Ruger narrowed his gaze from left to right looking at both Jonathan and Patrick.“Do you have a picture of him?” Ruger questioned.Patrick shook his head, he remembered having a picture of Jason in his folder. He scrolled his phone folder and brought out a picture of Jason. He moved the phone to Jonathan’s who helped him pass it to Ruger.Ruger glanced at the picture and nodded. “Is this the man,” he promptly asked.“Yes, that’s him and he has been a problem to me and my mother,” Patrick uttered.“And you want him gone for good,” Ruger questioned while maintaining the same expression he came with.“Yes, Can you do it?” Patrick didn’t hesitate to ask, he had his eyes fixated on Ruger.Ruger Chuckled with the side of his lips, “Sure, I can. But, you need to know it is not cheap. And you need to know that once I am in for the job, there is no going back.” He passed momentarily. “You had better think twice before you make the decision. Are you prepared for it?” Ruger Voice out seriously
“What are you doing?” She yelled, after coming in contact with her son with a substance, she could perceive was cocaine.She has once worked for a drug dealer and without being told she knew what it was. She turned and locked the door fast to avoid anyone from coming into the room.Patrick was startled; he thought he was caught by any of the house servants or his stepfamily but it was his mom. He glanced at her and could see the cold glance she gave him.“What are you doing, you are supposed to be at work and don’t tell me you are still taking this shit.” She said with her voice brimming with anger.“Mom, no cursing with that language remember,” Patrick said, reminding his mother.His nose was covered with the white substance and his eyes clouded.“Shut up! Don’t remind me about that, what if someone else had come in and found you like this, what do you think would have happened? Do you want your father to know about it?”She paused, “He will get angry at it and might call the cops at
The following morning, Mr. Benjamin and his family were all seated at the dining table, having their breakfast. There was silence as their mouths moved to the rhythm of the food. Mr. Benjamin placed his fork and spoon by the side, clearing his throat to make an announcement. His actions got the attention of his family members, who had to raise their heads towards him.“Patrick, we have a meeting with the Hilton cooperation company today and you will be in charge of it. Remember the document I sent to you, last week. Hope you have gone through it and you are prepared because we need to succeed with the deal.” He paused momentarily and continued with a smile on his face. “It’s your time to prove that you can handle the family business and we are all looking forward to your presentation today.” He said calmly, with his eyebrows lingering at them.Mr. Benjamin and Lovina gaze at Patrick, nodding his head. “Yes, I am ready, Father. I am prepared for the meeting.” He said softly.“Get rea
Jason stood still, his presence commanding attention, he cleared his throat and mouthed smoothly. “ladies and gentlemen, let me walk you through our vision for this partnership.” He said his voice was steady and confident.He deftly navigated the presentation, his words were clear and compelling. He highlighted the synergies between their companies, the innovative solutions they could bring to the market together, and the substantial financial benefits for both companies. Jason didn’t fail to outline other useful plans, his confidence and expertise shone through. And he could see the interest returning to the faces of the Hilton cooperation.Patrick’s mind was boiling in frustration and jealousy, he noticed how the heads of the executives were moving smoothly as Jason continued to mouth confidently.(Why would he feel angry when he was given the presentation for over a week and he hadn’t gone through it.)“With our combined resources and expertise, we believe this partnership will no
“You want us to talk about how you swooped in and saved the day? Or talk about how you stole my moment to shine. Just this time I was going to prove to everyone that I am capable but, no you showed up. The golden boy, you want to tell everyone that you are the perfect son.” Patrick uttered sarcastically.Jason inhales and exhales, trying to maintain his composure. If not for the fact his father has instructed him to find a way to talk to Patrick, this discussion wouldn’t have happened. Jason was trying to make Patrick see things from the top. But, Patrick wasn’t sounding mature at some point.“That’s not what happened, Patrick. You were struggling, and I stepped up to help. We are a team and that’s what I was supposed to do. I didn’t win for myself but for the company.” Jason said firmly.Patrick scoffs, his eyes blazing with fury. “A team? It didn’t feel like that in there, Jason. It felt like you took over and made me incompetent.” Jason shook his head in disapproval, he was still
Graham drove the car into the building with ease, the range rover was in a straight line, as they all came to a halt at the entrance of the restaurant.Jason came out with two cars, he was seated behind the second car, with Elena. With Loki and Graham at the front. While the other car has four guards inside of it.The doorman walked fast and had the door opened for his young master, while the other doorman did the same for Elena. Jason stepped out of the car and he looked up at the building before him, the modern facade of his new restaurant, standing proudly on the bustling city. It was a journey that was filled with challenges and setbacks but seeing its final form. He felt a surge of pride and accomplishment within him.He took a deep breath, adjusted his suit before taking a step towards the entrance, Elena tagged behind him.“Welcome Young master.” The doorman said, with his head bent lightly.Jason didn’t fail to reciprocate his greetings with a wave and a warm smile. The glas
Jason clicked on the answer buttons and immediately he heard a deep voice.“Hello, Son. Congratulations on your achievements.” His father said. “Your news is all over the internet and I am happy for you.” Jason smiled, “Thank you, Dad.” Jason replied.Jason signalled Linda, Loki and Elena to sit. While he swirls his chairs towards the glass. From his spot, he could get a better view of the city.“When are we going to celebrate your new achievements, you know how hard it was for you before you completed that project. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t celebrate it.” Mr. Benjamin said.“I will fix a date for that, and I will let you know when it’s time.” He retorted as a small smile curved on his lips.“Enjoy your day, son.” Mr. Benjamin said. “Thank you, Dad.” He replied before the call was terminated.Jason drew a deep breath, before turning to face the others.“Back to business,” Jason said.He could see the excitement on their faces, and they kept their gaze on him like they knew what he
They moved closer to the car with their eyes scanning every shadow and corner, as they approached the cars. Jason walked close behind Graham and the other two guards were behind him and Elena.Graham’s eyes were on high alert as they moved closer to the cars, his instincts kicked in. He noticed something unusual when the car key fell on the floor. It was a faint red light blinking from beneath the car.He raised his hand signalling them to stop, “Wait.” He said sharply.“What is it, Graham?” Jason uncontrollably questioned.Jason’s eyes scanned the environment while trying to see if there was any sign of danger before them but he couldn’t see anything.“There is something under the car.” He said firmly.“What is it?” Jason asked in confusion, his eyes darted from Graham to Elena.Jason stopped, bending down to look what it was and he could tell Graham wasn’t just saying it to frighten any of them.“Is that…bomb?” he said, with his voice struggling to spill out what it was.Graham nod
