Nathan decided to spend the weekend at home with his sisters. after he started working at the company, he had limited time to spend with them, they all left together for work and school in the morning but by the time he returned from work, they would already be in bed. Not like his sisters were complaining but he used to have time for them, times when he asked them questions about how their day went and what they have been up to and he wanted to do that again. He was seated by the pool watching his sisters do their own thing when his phone rang. He picked it up when he saw who it was, thinking that she just wanted to say hi. “Hey, Gia,”He said in greeting. “Where are you right now?” “I am at home,”He told her sensing that everything wasn’t okay by how she sounded. “Nathan, can you please come to the mansion right now? Seb is having a crisis and he wants to see you, you have to hurry,”She informed. Well, so much for spending the whole day with his sister, he got up and picked u
Nathan spent the remaining of the day at the mansion. He was sad about how everything went down and was worried for Gianni. On top of that, he had to donate his blood because the doctor said he needed fresh O rhesus negative blood and that was his blood type. He didn’t mind donating if that would help the old man out. When Nathan finally arrived home after making sure Gianni would be okay on her own, he found his sister, Nora waiting for him even though it was quite late. “What are you doing awake? It is late,”He told her as he sat down tiredly. The stress of today and what played out drained all of his energy that he just wanted to sleep and wake up when everything was okay again but things didn’t look like it would be okay any time soon. “I was waiting for you, I need to know something,”She said, folding her hands against her chest. “Okay, what do you want to know?”He asked. “Nathan? Is it true? You are Sebastian Ulmer’s son?”Nora asked. Of course, he should have known she
Nathan informed her. He was so tired of Pedro and how the sick greedy man was handling things at the head office and he wasn’t the only one, everyone he interacted with has been complaining, the bastard even went as far as firing directors who told him he was going about things wrongly. Nothing anyone says was good enough for Pedro, if Ulmer doesn’t wake up soon, he might run the company down. Nathan was sure he wasn’t only doing that at the head office, he was sure the greedy man was doing greater damage at their other subsidiaries, Nathan hated that he couldn’t do anything because his hands were tied. He barely had any power in that place to even be in the meetings with the executives and he badly wanted to be there. “I don’t care what he does with the company Nathan, Seb put him in charge so he would deal with the lose once he wakes up, in fact, I have to tell him that, maybe if I did, he would wake up faster, he won’t want the company he built to run down by his cousin,”Gianni s
The rest of the week saw the company going through a major negative change. Nathan watched people who he worked with get relieved of their jobs and sent home and they were replaced by unserious people that he didn’t even know where Pedro got them from. The most painful of them all was when Pedro told director Christian to retire, it was off-putting and he had to step in and remind him he had no such power but Pedro had told him to fuck off and Christian told him not to worry about it. It was Monday again, two weeks since Sebastian went into a coma and the company stock had dropped by thirty percent. Nathan found out that it was the first time in years that the company would experience such a huge loss but Pedro refused to see the errors in his ways. Refused to listen to anyone and kept changing things. Even the people that didn’t get fired didn’t like coming to work anymore. The café was shut down because the fucker fired the workers there. According to him, the company had no money
“Wow, woman, I must say, you surprised me in there, I wasn’t even expecting you to show up at the office,”Nathan let out as soon as they got into their office. ‘‘I had to come, we have more pressing issues to talk about and I didn’t want to talk about it on the phone. At her words, the smile on Nathan’s face vanished. “What are you talking about?”He asked. “There is this guy, his name is Nicholai, he has tried a couple of times to work with Sebastian but he refused. Last night, I overheard Pedro talking with him. I know he is the one because Pedro was speaking in Russian and I can understand Russian too. He was talking about a deal and I don’t know what it is about but I know it will not be good,”Gianni disclosed. Nathan knew Nicholai. The man was a known mafia and a criminal that got away with his crimes because he is rich and his family had a huge influence in Russia. He wasn’t surprised Pedro knew someone like that personally. “Wait? Is that why you suddenly decided to retu
“If you are not going to calm down and listen, then we will go right ahead without you, you don’t have any power in this company to be talking so rudely, I don’t know who you think you are but if you have an issue with the will then you can go to court,”The head of the legal team said with a raised voice. Pedro was foaming so badly at this point and not even the men with him could control him, Nathan looked to Gianni and she shook her head. He knew what she meant without her saying the words, she didn’t want him to say anything just yet. Not like he had anything to say now, things were looking good for them, Pedro was almost losing his mind. “You don’t get to tell me how to act, you are nothing, my uncle gave his words and these two were there when he said those words, his words are above every will,”Pedro let out. “Not when he was in distress while stating those words, not when the said words were not documented, you are a businessman of your own, do you take contracts with word
“You know nothing about business, that’s all I got from what you just said, you said that you have no interest then fucking don’t interfere with how I chose to run the business, take a walk,”Pedro insisted. Nathan decided that it was either the man was acting a fool and pretending not to know he lost already or he was really dumb and thought he has some power over them.“Our job here is done, Gianni, you are the head of the company until Sebastian comes back, you can always delegate the duties if you want to, the ball is in your court,”The head of the legal team said and stood up, the others with him did the same and so did Gianni and Nathan. “No, we are not done here, you can’t leave just yet, I still have a lot to say,”Pedro let out. “If you have anything else to say, you can send your lawyer, I am done talking with you, have a nice day,”The head of the legal team said and started walking away, the others followed behind him, and before long, it was just Nathan, Gianni, and Pe
“Yeah, that’s true, so what do we do now? How do we start to fix things?”Nathan asked. He had an idea but he didn’t want to do things on his own without her permission, she was the heir and not him. “You tell me, I am beyond drained already from what happened today, I can’t do more right now,”She replied. She sat down heavily, he walked to the refrigerator and got her water to drink, and she accepted with thanks. “I have an idea, first, I think we should call everyone he fired back, from the directors to the normal workers. Secondly, I think we should do a press conference to announce that you will be the temporary head of the company until Seb can make that decision himself.”Nathan explained to her. “I don’t want to be the head of anything, did you forget the Ulmers' cooperation is not limited to this building? It is a complication of lots of other sectors, this building is not even the half of it Nathan, I can’t head anything, you do it,”Gianni let out. not like he didn’t wan
