“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
Early the next morning, Nathan woke up to his phone ringing nonstop, he grudgingly reached out for his phone wondering who could be calling him when it was still so early. He sat up when he saw it was Gianni calling, his eyes went to the clock on his wall. “Four am? Why is she calling so early?”He asked himself as he took the call expecting her to say something like Sebastian has finally woken up, honestly that was the only thing he could think about that would happen for her to call him so early. “Nathan? Did I wake you?”She spoke on the phone. God, she had a nice morning voice that he would not mind whispering in his ears every morning to wake him up, he shook his head to clear out the weird ass thought. “You obviously did, it is four am,”He let out a yearning, he wanted to go back to sleep already, Sebastian wasn’t awake yet, he was sure of it because if that was the news she wanted to tell him, she would have said it as soon as he took the call or would have at least sounded
“Since I don’t really care all that much about running a company, I decided to hand over the running of the company’s affair to someone whom I am sure my husband would approve too, and that’s his son and only child who recently joined the family, may I introduce to you, Nathan, my husband’s son and soon to be heir, for now, he would be heading the company until my husband can do so again or pick his new head, please welcome Nathan,”Gianni said and pointed in his direction, Nathan felt his heartbeat increase rapidly with the spotlight suddenly on him, he smiled as much as he could until the clapping that erupted when Gianni called his name died down. “Hello, everyone, my name is Nathan Montgomery, and as Gianni has said, I am Sebastian Ulmer’s son as a lot of people may already know from the news that went around a couple of weeks ago, I am here today before my father can introduce me himself because of some circumstances that are beyond our power but I do assure everyone that I am r
“What should we do about this, Nathan?”Gianni asked as she walked into the office, Nathan looked up, wondering what she was talking about. “What’s that about?”He asked. He didn’t expect her to show up at the office but here she was. “This, apparently, Pedro sold this property to one of the tenants and now they want other tenants to vacate the building,”She revealed. Nathan collected the file she heard from her and went through it. It was a court order asking everyone to vacate a building that was recently sold. “What the hell? He has no power to sell and where did he get the original documents from? We both know they are with Sebastian’s legal team and there is no way the legal team gave him access to it, not to mention, the property can’t be sold without Sebastian or your approval,”Nathan let out, it was clear Pedro played some dirty games and might have sold the property without the proper papers. “You are right, I didn’t think about that, I just got the order from one of th
“I used to work here and the person we are here to meet might be my ex-boss who fired me because I spoke with his customer who was rude to me and also because I took a break to clear my head so that I won’t get into an accident,” Nathan revealed and watched Gianni open her mouth in horror but no words came out, she didn’t even know the half of his life before she found him yet and she already looked horrified, wait till she find out the beating he got from Trent and his men and the countless injustice he got from various people even though he did nothing to deserve it, he was sure she would never believe him. “Don’t look so surprised, there are really bad people in the world and the man we are here for is one of those people, neither the cooks nor those that deliver the food get paid properly for their work but they can’t even say anything for fear of being fired, in our side of the world, it is better to get a penny than not get anything at all,”Nathan recounted. “That’s not fair
