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
Nathan stared at the email he just got wondering if the sender had made a mistake, he hasn’t even submitted a proposal, he was still working on it and planned on calling to schedule a meeting later once he put some finishing touches to his proposal, so how did they already get his proposal and why does it look like they don’t want to continue the business. Nathan dialed his number but it went straight to voicemail. “Hey, Nathan, what’s going on? Why are you frowning so early on a Monday morning? I know working sucks but cheer up, just two weeks ago you were excited to work here,”Gianni said as she walked into his office. Even though she was given her own office with bigger space and better furniture, the woman refused to stay in her office, instead, she spent the three to four hours she spends in the company in his office. People were starting to look at them weirdly but Gianni seemed not to care. He didn’t care either and that wasn’t the issue on the ground right now, he had pressi
Nathan drove to the address that Alec had given to him. He got there in less than thirty minutes, the office complex was small compared to Ulmer’s Holding but it was still bigger than most one-person owned company, he read a lot about Alec over the weekend too, and found out the man was a self-made billionaire who has businesses in a lot of countries and was always looking for new ways to expand. The current project that he was working on was related to Alec's influence in Greece. Sebastian was planning on expanding to Greece and Alec had a great advantage as he owns a lot of properties in Greece so Sebastian wanted his help and in exchange, Nathan proposed that he can get a stake in the company once it is established and also, they can work together to improve his influence in Australia since he wasn’t that big here yet. He hoped he would be able to convince him to take them up on it. Nathan aspires to be like him. Yes, he would not be able to do that now seeing that he had a mega st
Nathan didn’t see or hear from Gianni for the rest of the week, he wanted to call her but he didn’t. reason being that he wanted her to see the fault in what she did by not letting him know before submitting the proposal even though he found out it wasn’t her fault that the deal almost fell through, he still hated that she didn’t let him know before doing it even though he knew if she had not, Alec would have believed Pedro’s words and he would have lost for real. He wanted her to see the wrong that she did so even though he hated not talking to her and the fact that her absence in the office was felt, he still didn’t call her. Instead, he focused on working hard. He spoke with Alec a couple of times over the week and they both agreed that after Alec returns from vacation, he would go with him to Greece to find a good place to set up the new business. “Nathan, I am sorry,”Gianni said walking into Nathan’s office. Nathan looked up from what he was doing, it took her seven whole days
