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
“That was worth it, did you see their face when you said the man got scammed? He must be a really shady guy even to his neighbors,”Gianni let out. “Oh, you are about to meet his greedy ass, he is very pompous and self-centered, he has enough money to employ a manager to manage the place but his greed would not let him,”Nathan let out, just the thought of Dan was enough to put him in a bad mood but the only consolation right now was that he had more power this time around and Dan would be beneath him. “I will let you do all the talking then, I will just watch,” Gianni let out as they walked into Dan's restaurant and the place he used to work in. He knew where Dan's office was located so he walked directly to the office and without even knocking he just entered. The bastard was seated and looked up in shock when the door flew open. “What the fuck? Who are., Oh, Nathan? What are you doing back here, wait, I remembered, you are the supposed son of Ulmer now. But that doesn’t give yo
“You are not leaving, nobody is leaving until I get my full money or the original papers to this property,”He threatened. He was really stupid to think he could actually stop them, Nathan walked up to him and pushed him out of the way, he didn’t even have any balance as the small push sent him flying to the other corner. “This is assault and I will be adding it to the charges against you,”He yelled from the ground, Nathan scoffed and waited for Gianni to walk out before he turned his attention to Dan one last time. “You are still talking? You are lucky I am even giving you time to pack up, if I want to throw you out right now, I would do that, but this is not even for you, I am doing this to give those workers you barely pay to find enough time to find a new job, good luck being bankrupt, if you want a job as my driver, I will have a spot ready for you, for the same price you paid me while I worked for you,”Nathan informed him and walked away with a satisfied smile. While they dr
“Sir, the madam said you have something to tell me,”His secretary Grace let out. Nathan looked at her wondering what she was talking about before he remembered. “Yeah, if you don’t mind, make a call, I want all the board of directors and every head of various departments, in a meeting by Friday, noon, those that can’t make it in person should make sure to tune in on the conference call,”He related to her. “Yes, sir, is that all.”“Yes, Grace, that’s all for now,”He replied. After she left, he covered his face with both palms thinking about what he would say, Friday was just three days away and with Gianni not present, it would be his first time handling things totally on his own, he didn’t know what to expect from the directors; the ones working in the building he was in might not have a problem with him because they have at least seen him work but what about the ones not close by? The ones in other countries too. What if they doubt his capability? “Do not overthink, Nathan,”He
Thursday morning as soon as he arrived at the office, his phone buzzed and he reached out to check who it was, he was expecting calls from those who work for Dan but so far, not one of them has called. The number calling wasn’t registered on his phone but he picked up thinking it would finally be one of those who used to work for Dan. He hasn’t heard from Dan either but he knew the man would be going to many lengths to get the building or his money back from Pedro, Nathan hoped he was doing the latter instead of the former because the former was a lost cause for him. He had no right to the building. Again, knowing who Dan is, he might want to get the building. That would be a stupid move that would only lead him to more trouble and Nathan was more than ready to give him more trouble if that’s what he wants. “You thief, I thought you would be too scared to take my calls, but you did,”Nathan recognized Pedro’s voice immediately after he spoke. “Pedro? Why are you calling me?”Nathan
