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
After the introductions to the members of the marketing department of the company, Nathan was assigned an office, he never expected to be given a special office but guessed the chairman’s son’s privilege was already working for him. His office was big and spacious, the windows were transparent and he could see the outside from his office anyone who could look up to the ninth floor of the tall building would definitely see his office, there was a huge table close to the window and three chairs, a shelf that mainly contains books that he assumed were business books, and also a couple of files were sitting on the table. Nathan walked into the office and breathed in the fresh smell that he has always dreamed of, this place was perfect for him and he wanted to start work almost immediately. He couldn’t contain his joy and did a little happy dance. He felt embarrassed and stopped after a moment. “You have made it Nathan, now let’s work hard and hit the top soon.”He encouraged himself. H
Barely a week after Nathan started working at the office, he got told he would be given a project by his team leader. No, he never expected it to come so fast but according to Demon, his team leader, it was the chairman’s order and he was to work on the deal on his own. Nathan almost thought he had been joking but right now, he was staring at the mail that confirmed the project, and all files related to it were already sent to him. Yeah, the week barely started but it was definitely going to be a long busy week for him. They didn’t even let him rest before sending the mail to him. It still felt like they made a mistake but the mail was addressed to him and the file on his table had his name on it. “I can do this,”He told himself as he dropped his bag and sat down. The advantage of having his own office was that he didn’t have to deal with anyone, as long as he wasn’t required to meet them because it would have been hell of embarrassing for people to see him go through various stages
“I don’t do much, I am only just learning, my team leader, gives me past projects to go through, and I write and audit them and send them back to him, he makes necessary corrections and sends them back, I am also given some fresh projects to look into but this is the first time that I am to work solo, okay not solo, with you on a project and I am super excited to share what I have learned since I started working here,”Nathan excitedly recounted to her. “Wait, how are you so happy to get a job that might stress you out already? You barely even started working here, like one week, that’s how long you have been here, I am just curious to know,” She questioned, removing her hands from his table and crossing them over her chest. If only she knew how nervous he was. ‘’I am excited but also nervous, I know I will do well and I like to work. This has been my dream since I was young, I went to business school because I was interested in becoming a guru in business,”He recounted to her and
