“You are right, do you know that good things happened to me once I broke things off with her,”he told her and realized it was true, even though bad things had also happened to him after he broke up with her, the good things that happened overpowered the bad. “Right, now you are seeing the light, in fact, I will prefer you be with someone like the pretty lady you work for that with that witch, I disliked her so much,”Nora let out. She did a pretty good job hiding her dislike because he never would have thought she did if she had not mentioned it, it never crossed his mind until she had because Nora had always been nice to Annie when he was around. “Nora, Gianni is married, and you never even made me know that you didn’t like Annie,”he said. “Aha, I keep forgetting who the pretty lady is, about your ex, she was the only thing that made you really happy, I saw the way you were with her and didn’t want to ruin it because you deserve all the happiness in the world, I figured you know
“I didn’t forget, look, let’s just meet up and talk like adults, we are too grown to be having a conversation over the phone, send me your address and I will come to you,”she persuaded. At first, he didn’t want to meet her, he was still hurt by what she did to him but after a second thought, he decided to let her see the new him, so that she will see with her own eyes what she threw away, of course, he wasn’t going to give her his house address, she didn’t deserve to know where he lives. “You know what, you are right, we should meet up, we need to set some records straight but definitely not at my house, I don’t want it to be tainted by your filthiness,” He let out and heard her gasp in horror, which gave him some kind of satisfaction, she was in for a ride with him, he would make her feel how he had felt when he found her cheating on him and she went ahead to make a fool out of him. “You are mean, just text me where you want us to meet and I will meet you there,” She requested.
“You are really that insecure? You can’t mean it, this is twenty-twenty-three Nathan and we are not married, a woman can keep multiple partners, it is not a big deal, not like I am going to marry him, I was just having fun,” She said as if it was the most normal and natural thing to say. Nathan realized she wasn’t even feeling remorseful for what she did, far from it, she was saying she did what she wanted and he should live with it, the hell he will. “Let’s see, I don’t care what you do with other men, what I am saying is, this man here,”he said pointing at himself. “This man is out of your league, I don’t fuck with cheap whores,” He added and watched her face redden, it was either she was embarrassed or pissed off, either way, he didn’t care. “They say money does change people and I just witnessed it, all I did was have a little fun like every woman my age yet, you are breaking up with me for it when on the day it happened, you had willing to take me back, now you have changed
The next couple of days saw Nathan falling into a pattern with his sisters, he still needed to recover so Gianni had advised him to spend the remaining days until Seb returns to recover properly, he spent his mornings with Nelly who was doing so much better now and afternoons after Nora returns from school was spent playing games or watching movies, it gave him so much joy seeing his sisters happy and having the best of life. Their life has been so much better in recent days than he can ever imagine, they woke up when they want to and food is ready for them, not just any kind of food but the best kind, made by a well-trained chef, what more, Nathan didn’t have to worry about college for the both of his sisters because as soon as he could, he went to the bank and deposited huge sums into two accounts for Nel and Nora, that will see them through college and any other education they will like to get, not to mention Gianni had given both of the girls their personal cards that they could u
“Ahem,”Nathan sighed remembering that he had his own issues to deal with. “Why? Did you think about the meeting again? Don’t worry, it will be as easy as ABC, don’t fret,”Gianni encouraged. “I really wish it will go as easy as you claim,”he answered. “It will, don’t worry,”She said and focused on driving, the rest of the drive was in silence, Nathan did his best to not have any thoughts about the meetup but when the gate of the huge mansion opened, his heart skipped multiple beats. “We are here,”Gianni announced. He wished he could share in her present excitement but one look at how huge the house was made him anxious all over again, a man that was good enough to amass such great wealth cannot easily be fooled.Nathan's mouth fell open when he got out of the car, it was like he stepped into another world, for start, the expansive mansion was a stunning sight to behold, with towering columns, a sweeping staircase, and numerous balconies overlooking the rolling hills, the house
“That’s so sad.”He commented. He looked around, hoping Gianni would show up because it was about to get awkward in the room with just the two of them and the old man looking at him like that. “Gianni, tell me you majored in business but couldn’t afford to finish?”The old man asked. He seemed to be taking breaks between questions to either gather his energy or he just wanted him to feel relaxed before asking the next question. “Yes, I was almost done but my mom passed so I couldn’t finish,’’ He revealed hoping the old man would assume the mom he was referring to was his aunty. “I see, so what are your plans now that money is no longer the problem?”He questioned further. “I already registered to take my post-graduate exams and I have every intention of going further after that.”“That’s good to know. How well is your business handling skill?”he asked. Nathan paused for a moment to consider the question before answering, he didn’t want to fumble before the man. “For now, I read
After the meet-up with Sebastian, Nathan got called to resume work at Ulmer’s holding three days later, as Gianni had said, the old man wanted him to have practical learnings and the best place to do it was at the company, today was his first day at the office and he couldn’t conclude if he was nervous or just excited. It has always been his dream to work in a corporate organization, in fact, his biggest dream had been to be the one to lead the company, this wasn’t the way he envisioned his dream to be like but right now he doesn’t really care, all he knows is he gets to work with like-minded and intelligent people, he was sure he would learn much more about running the affairs of a company, he would know the department he will be working with once he arrives at the office. He decided to wear something that screamed his readiness to work, so he picked out a well-tailored black suit, a white, long-sleeve shirt, a navy-blue tie, and a pair of oxford shoes. He styled his usual messy ha
“Thank you,”“You are welcome. If you don’t mind me asking, are you related to the chairman?”James asked and Nathan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes, is there a problem with that?”Nathan asked. “No, not at all, it is just, that explains a lot, anyway welcome and I hope to see you around. Your superior will be here soon so feel comfortable here while you wait,”James said and excused himself. After he left, Nathan sat there waiting for whoever the superior was, he thought of calling Gianni to find out but decided not to, his reason being that she might still be in bed since she doesn’t have to work. A lot of young people around his age and some older than him passed by the lounge while he waited for the superior, none of them acknowledged him but he could tell that they were all curious to know who he was and he was curious too to know them. Even though James had said his superior would arrive at any minute, Nathan sat there bored for more than an hour but no one spoke
