Even though he said he would be meeting with Sebastian, Nathan changed his mind and instead just went home after work. What he did do after he got back home was call the older man who picked up almost immediately as if he had been waiting for his call. “Son, how have you been?”He asked. Nathan still couldn’t get used to the fact that he was really Sebastian’s son. He had no one to go to for answers. He still didn’t know how his birth mom and dad fell off. How they even met in the first place because clearly, they were worlds apart. “I am calling to let you know that I am doing fine,”He told him. “That’s good to know, when can I see you, son? You just left that day and I haven’t seen you since then,”Sebastian asked. “Yeah, I know. I had some things to sort out. when I am good, I will come see you,”Nathan told him. There was a moment of silence and then an audible sigh from Sebastian before he spoke again. “Okay, take your time. I will be here when you are ready,”He hung up t
Nathan still stayed four whole days away before he finally decided to go see Sebastian in his mansion. He called him that morning that he would be coming over and asked him to be the one to tell his director that Nathan would not be at the office. Seb had agreed without hesitating. “It is so good to finally see you after more than a week of waiting, I am sure you will have questions,”Sebastian said when Nathan walked in. The old man looked like he aged a lot in the last couple of days. He was seated in his living room. He was right about him having lots of questions because he sure did. “Good morning, sir,”Nathan greeted as he didn’t forget his manners. “Good morning, son, I was so happy when you called earlier that you would be coming to see me.”He said and gestured for Nathan to take a seat which he did. There was silence in the room. Nathan had a lot in mind but he didn’t know the first thing to say or the first question to ask. He hated the feeling so much and Sebastian must
“Don’t expect me to take your side just because you tried. You can’t blame my mom. She promised her sister that she would take care of me and she was only keeping that promise. My mom didn’t do anything wrong.”Nathan said in his mom's defense. She may have made some decisions that might not sit right with him but in his eyes, she could do no wrong. She did her best to raise him on her own. Never once made him feel like he wasn’t her child. Heck, she did so well that he didn’t even for once think about something like that. “I am sorry that I failed you son. I am sorry that I waited till I was this weak and useless before I found you again. I am sorry for not believing you and for having doubts when the evidence was all in front of me. Please find a place in your heart to forgive this dying old man,”He pleaded. “I don’t hold a grudge against you. I thought I did but once I entered the room and saw you, I realized that I didn’t. I just feel sad for myself and for everything I had to g
“That’s good to know, I just wanted to be sure but I am glad you have finally seen through him enough to know that he would ruin everything you worked hard for if you ever make the mistake of making him the heir,”“I have no plans of making my cousin the heir, if I did would I have wanted to find my son? Would I have had my wife’s now ex-wife’s name on my will? He was never a choice,”Sebastian revealed. The mention of Gianni made him remember he hadn’t spoken to her in days now. He was not mad at her anymore, maybe it was time to call her so that they would have that talk and sort things out. “That’s news to me,”Nathan said. “I know. Don’t worry, Pedro will never be a competition for you. You are my son, my flesh and blood.” Nathan nodded in understanding. “The only competition that you might have had was Gianni but I know that won’t happen since you both are a team,”Sebastian said. Nathan wanted to tell him that he and Gianni were no longer a team after he found out how she ha
Nathan decided to call Gianni when he got back home but she must have blocked his contact or something because it refused to connect. After multiple tries, he gave up and instead went to look for her on the internet. He found her IG and messaged her there and hoped that she would respond. If not, he would have to travel to Italy just to speak to her. something he should have done from the beginning. He felt stupid for not listening to her and letting her explain why she didn’t tell him. Wait, she did tell him why. He just didn’t believe her. He treated her the same way Sebastian had treated her and thinking about it, he would understand if she decided to completely cut him off. Heck, he told her he would never speak to her again.“I should just leave her alone,”He said to himself. He decided that if she didn’t respond to the messages that he left her he would really let her be. not for long though because going by what Sebastian had said, he would still be needing Gianni and the last
“Nathan, good to see you are here,”His team leader said which drew all attention to him. Nathan slightly bowed in greeting. “As I already sent you all, a team member will be moving to another department today and like we always do, we will send him off and give him our blessing. In this case, though. He is someone really important to the future of this company. Our beloved chairman’s son who has been with us for the past few weeks. Even though his stay with us had been short, we can’t deny that he did a wonderful job,”His team leader said and to his surprise, everyone clapped. Knowing that most of them badmouthed him when they thought he wasn’t listening made it even more shocking and kind of funny. He wished the team leader didn’t do everything so dramatically. “Thank you,”Nathan said after the clapping subsided. He didn’t know what else to say. He knew everyone was looking at him and could almost feel the envy in the air. He couldn’t blame them because he would have felt the sa
“Ahh, Nathan, what did you do?”He cussed at himself. Gianni didn’t deserve the way he treated her and on top of that, she was going through divorcing his dad and he never once thought of how everything would have been like for her. She might not have had romantic feelings for Sebastian but she definitely loved the old man. If she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t have stayed with him or gone out of her way to find his son. “Well, at least I have something in common with my dad, why does it have to be hurting Gia?”He lamented. His phone buzzed and he checked.“Dad,”He said when he took the call. “You have been shown to your new office, right? How do you like your office? If there is anything you don’t like in there, you can request for it to be changed. The office is huge but a little old fashion,”He was right about the office being a little old-fashioned but Nathan didn’t mind. He wasn’t in the office for the aesthetic. He was more interested in working and pushing the company highe
Nathan spent the rest of the morning getting familiar with his new role and office. By lunch, he called the director in charge of the secretaries and informed them that he needed assistants and he got an immediate answer. They recently employed some secretaries and they sent him a list of those who were most qualified. He asked to see them in person and spent the rest of the afternoon interviewing them himself. He was able to get three which he was sure could work with him. “Thank you, gentlemen and lady, you will resume working for me by tomorrow, as you can already tell, I recently got promoted so we have to work hand in hand to get things done, I hope we get along really well,”He told the three he had picked. “Of course, thank you for the honor, sir, we will do our best,”The only woman among them said. Nathan nodded. “That’s good to know. You can go now,”He dismissed them and went right back to work. When he lifted his head again, it was past the closing hour. He packed up an
