“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
“Someone was there with a sniper,” Ruger said.“What do you mean by you were not the only person who was there? That a guy with a sniper came and he spoiled the plan.” Patrick said, his eyes fixated on Ruger“I had already placed the bomb in position before the sniper guy shot at him but he missed his target. Jason’s men were fast and were all over him. There wasn’t any other way to attack him.” Ruger said.“What nonsense,” he slammed his hand against the desk before him and took a few steps towards Ruger. “How can I believe what you just said,” Patrick’s voice was brimming with anger and frustration, knowing his plan to eliminate Jason failed. Ruger gave him a cold glance and Patrick moved back a bit.“You can read the news and see for yourself, everyone thinks it was the same sniper guy who planted the bomb on the car,” Ruger said.Ruger felt excited knowing nothing was traced to him, but he wasn’t happy that his plan didn’t work out. And he would have to think of another way to ge
James Paterson found it hard to believe when he heard the news that Jason survived the attack against him. He ambled back and forth with his hand on his waist.He had just returned from prison after several months, and he couldn’t wait to start his quest for revenge. He has been busy in prison drawing his plans to take down Jason for everything he did to him and his family.James scratched his chin in frustration, the only news he was expecting to hear from anyone was the news about Jason being dead, but it seemed like the news couldn’t be heard because Jason was still alive.“How can you tell me you pulled the shot straight at him, and it didn’t hit Jason? ” He yelled at Jez, who happened to be the sniper guy at the scene that day.James was able to hire him through the help of his uncle, who owns a factory in the down skirt of the city. His uncle has never been a fan of the Lewis family, due to how the Lewis family had conquered the business world.“I am sure I got him, but his guar
“I am looking for the money I kept in my drawer, with an envelope which has a small pendant inside.” He said with his voice brimming with anger.Lovina furrowed her brow, she jerked off her seat.‘You mean you are looking for your money and a pendant.” She questioned softly, she could see his face serious and eyes blazing in fury.Mr. Benjamin nodded his head. “Yes,” “Have you asked the maids and the guards, you should call them for questioning.” Lovina insisted.Mr Benjamin had his mind racing through several thoughts, his maid or guards had never stolen from him, and it was the first time he was looking for any of his belongings in his office. Everything seems confusing to him.He angrily walked out of the room and found Robert on his way downstairs.Robert tilted his head when he saw his master coming towards him, with a firm and serious expression. He could grasp that something was wrong and he was about to ask when his master Voiced out.“I need to see you immediately, Robert,”
Patrick came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, and a water droplet still clinging to his skin. The steam from the billowed around him as he entered his bedroom, only to freeze in his tracks.He found his mother, Lovina, standing close to his bed. Clutching the pendant Mr. Benjamin has been desperately searching for.Her eyes blazed with a mix of anger and disappointment, while she stared at her son. “Why did you take it, Patrick?” She said with a serious tone. “How could you be this foolish by stealing from your stepfather.” She questioned with her voice trembling with fury.Patrick was struggling with his words, he was surprised by how his mother found out it was him. He has sneaked into Mr. Benjamin’s home office late at night, without anyone noticing him. His major reason was to take photos of a document, but he found it and couldn’t take his eyes off it.He felt his heart pounding fast in anticipation and disappointment. But he maintained a calm demeanour
