Nathan looked to where his phone was kept, he wasn’t expecting to get a call from Gianni since it was Saturday, he expected to rest. Seb was still at the hospital and she was spending all her time with him. He took the call. “Nathan, Seb wants to see you,”Gianni's voice echoed over the phone, she sounded very pissed. “What’s going on?”He asked, already on his feet. “You will have to find out by yourself when you come around, meanwhile, the old man is talking a whole lot of nonsense so you might want to brace yourself,”She answered. He didn’t like how she sounded and the fact that she wasn’t telling him what happened straight up didn’t help either. “I am on my way,”He answered and the call ended. He was alone as his sisters both went out with their friends, he went upstairs to his room to change, still wondering what would have made Gianni pissed and why she said to brace himself, did he somehow find out what happened? Even if he did, he had no reason to be mad at them, if anyt
“So, are you finally going to tell me what kind of relationship you have with my wife?” Sebastian asked when it was just the two of them, Nathan stared at him in confusion wondering why he would even think he had any other kind of relationship with Gianni, it was just so not what he expected Seb to be worried about but apparently, that’s what he wanted to know. “I already told you what kind of relationship we have, I don’t know what else you want me to say,” Nathan responded firmly. “I have proof that you both are intimate,”Nathan stared at him, maybe the old man wasn’t okay yet, maybe something messed with his head because what kind of evidence would he possibly have to prove that he and Gianni had an intimate relationship? Nathan wanted to laugh in his face and call him a joker but the old man looked too damn serious for it to be a joke. “I want to see the proof,”Nathan told him and watched as the old man brought his phone out, typed a few things, and then passed his phone to
“Oh, this is about occupying your office? That’s the damage I have done? I thought you were going to state all the wrong business decisions that I have made but I bet you have none because the person you took his words from is the same person whose mess I was trying to clean up, I might be a novice but one thing is sure, I do my best and you can ask the people you employed because they can all testify that I did a pretty good job for a supposed novice,”Nathan fired at him. “I don’t care right now, all I want is for you to stay away from my company, I own the company and I make all the decisions pertaining to my company,”Sebastian responded. Nathan decided that there was no point in still engaging the old man, he already picked a side and nothing he was going to say would make him change his mind. “Right, it is your company, do whatever you want with it, I am out of here,”Nathan said the parting words and walked out of the room without a backward glance, he wanted to look for Gian
The next day was a Sunday but that didn’t stop Nathan from making a money move, he took his bath to help freshen his mood, had breakfast with his sisters, and went back to his room, he needed to speak with someone, so he got out his phone and dialed the number of a legal representative that he had spoken to before, he waited for the man to take his call. He got his contact when he met him a couple of weeks ago, at that time, he didn’t think he would need a legal representative soon but now he did and he was thankful he did. Now all he needed was for him to take his call so that they could arrange to meet as he didn’t want to do anything without first having legal backing. “Hello? This is Marcus speaking, who am I on to?”The man asked over the phone. Nathan almost thought he wouldn’t take the call because it was the weekend. “HI, my name is Nathan, we spoke about a week or two ago and I told you that I would reach out to you once I am ready,” Nathan disclosed. “Yeah, Nathan, I rem
“I have been ignoring you all day, can’t you take that as a hint and leave me alone?”Nathan asked. The only reason he took the call was to make sure he wasn’t continuously calling because he noticed that he made a big purchase. “I can’t stop calling you until you agree to come see me,”He told him. Okay, his purchase had nothing to do with why he was calling, for all he knew, the old man had no link to his account. The thought of that gave him some kind of peace. He could buy everything and pay for the things he needed to start his first hotel. “Fine, I will come see you when I have the chance.” He promised. He wasn’t busy but he didn’t want to give the old man a chance to think that he could easily be called upon and would show up. “That’s good to hear,”The old man responded and finally hung up. Nathan dropped the phone and smiled when he remembered what he had achieved that day. He wanted to at least tell someone about it but at the same time, he knew it was too early to let a
The call for him to resume work came the next morning, he expected it to come early so when he got the call, he wasn’t surprised but what did shock him was that they moved him to a very junior team, an office with a lot of people, part of the marketing department but a very junior part of it, not that it made him any less eager to work, in fact, it made him more ready to work, he was going to prove himself to Sebastian again while working hard to build his own brand. Before he left for work, he spoke to his lawyer and the contractor that he hired to take care of the renovation of the building, initially, he wanted to just tear the whole place but realized the hotel structure was still in shape and he just needed to invest in changing things and it would be good to go for a first hotel; he already picked out a name for the hotel, he was going to name it after his sister, N&N hotel, it sounded cringe and clique but he liked it and wanted to gift his first project to his sisters, he knew
“Are you for real right now? What do you even mean by paper marriage, what does that even stand for?”He knew what a paper marriage was but what he couldn’t understand was why Gianni would sign up for something like that when she could get any man she wanted. She was beautiful, educated, and rich, any man would kill to have her. “Nathan, I can’t go into full details but that’s it, I married Seb, I loved, and I still love him but we were never a real couple, he wanted someone with him, didn’t want to be alone, and at that time, I wanted out of Italy, I just got out of a very draining relationship that did a number to my self-esteem, that’s when I met Seb and he was nice, I figured I could help him, plus my ex was trying to get me back but he backed out when he found out I married,”She explained. Nathan never expected that to be the reason she married. “That’s a whole lot of details that I didn’t know,”Nathan said, not like he was just realizing that he didn’t know much about the wo
Despite his position in the office being limited, Nathan didn’t mind at all, for one, it gave him more time to focus on his own business idea and the people he shared office with were super nice to him, willing to help and give input when he asked. His life in the office was going just fine and his baby project was looking okay, he had a meeting with the people who would do the reconstruction today and that’s what he was going to spend his lunch hour doing. He got out of the elevator and instantly wished he had listened to his instincts and gone to get coffee like he had wanted to. Now he was standing face to face with his number one enemy. Since he resumed work in the office two weeks ago, Nathan had made a point to not encounter Pedro, not like he was scared of him or anything like that, he just didn’t want to deal with him physically and he has been successful until now. The older man stood in front of him and each time he tried to pass by him, he would block his way. Nathan let o
