Robert was all dressed up the next day, he was putting on a hoodie and a no0se mask to prevent anyone from recognizing him in the public and he was walking with a blonde haired guy, Liam. Liam is Hazel’s older brother, he is almost the same height as Robert, he was just like an inch or two shorter than Robert. “Ok, here we are, I’ve got a few more that are suitable for what my sister explained to me but let’s start with this one first” Liam said, standing with his hands holding his waist. Robert took a long look at the empty vast land before him, it was located in the streets. “Nah, I don’t want this one” Robert said after a long while, his hands were deep in his pockets. “Hazel told me you are an expert at stuff like this. I want to build a restaurant and I want the place where it will be more noticeable and be able to attract more customers. “Well, this is the cheapest but the least among the ones I have picked out for us to check out today. “How many have you picked out?” Rob
“Hundred million dollars?” Liam and lawyer Smith both asked in belief, they couldn’t believe their ears until he repeated it again. “Yes, hundred million dollars for this building” he affirmed and folded his hand across his chest looking at Mr. Jones awaiting his decision. “Hundred million dollars going…” Mr. Jones said and waited for a few minutes after getting no response from Sam who was gritting his teeth and folding his fist in anger. “Sold to Mr. Robert” Mr. Jones said and signaled for his lawyer to pull out the documents. “How can someone looking like a piece of trash as you be able to win over me in a bid over this house?” Sam asked angrily, walking to Robert with his fist folded and aiming for the latter’s head. He was fast and before anyone could react, Robert caught his punch in mid-air and turned to look at him with cold eyes. He twisted the arms, breaking some part of his bones, Sam let out a yell. He was surprised at how his day is turning horrible. He lost out som
Mr. Derrick saw that the rumors have been quelled completely, people are no longer talking again. Robert is no longer useful to him again, he was serving as a pawn before. To him in life it was either you use or you get used and he had gathered a few pawns and discarded them off once he knows that they have lack their usefulness. He had told his family that it was up to them to decide what they want to do with Robert if he decides to show up, they can either cast him off or keep on treating him as the trash he is but that was none of his business any longer. Every one of them was excited about it, Mrs. Alice and Cassy were the most happy about the news, they decided to keep him until they no longer have usefulness for him again. They love to see him despair, that look on his face as they crush him, always give them joy and it always make their heart leap excitedly. A huge sinister smile appeared on Cassy face, she was looking forward to teaching Robert that a dog should always be
It was 8 am, the Williams family were having their breakfast when they hear the sound of their doorbell. They ignored it at first, but it came again, they were all looking at each other. “Is anybody expecting anyone this early in the morning?” Dylan asked with a frown on his face. “I am not sure about that” Mr. Derrick said and went to sit on the couch with his legs crossed and a newspaper in his hand. “Davies go and get the door” Mr. Derrick said. “Why do I have to get it when we have a lot of people to do it in the house” Davies said with a scoff and continued eating his food. “Marie!!” Mrs. Alice called and a young lady putting on the black and white maids’ uniform came rushing in. “Ma, you called for me” she said with a bow.“Go and get the door” she said and Marie went immediately. “Oh! Mr. Robert good morning sir” The whole Williams family heard Marie’s voice loud and clear in the dining room and they turned their head immediately in surprise. “Do I have ear problems or
Robert quickly locked the window quietly and went to open the door, trying to fake a sleepy face. He saw Cassy standing in front of his door with a weird smile on her face. “Come and do my laundry now” She said and started walking back to her room. “Huh?” Robert asked wide eyed with surprise. “Don’t make me repeat myself” Robert kept on looking at her with shock, his mouth was opened down. Laundry by this time of the night? Robert wondered how she was this heartless. He sighed and followed behind her weakly. He couldn’t go the restaurant today and will go tomorrow unfailingly.He dragged his feet as he walked, he was clearly pissed but what could he do, he needed to bid his time, it was just a little amount of time before he gets what he wants. “Shit!” he cussed silently as he got to her room, she pointed to the clothes in the laundry basket and slumped on the bed.Robert carried the laundry basket and headed to the laundry room with a frown on his face. It’s not like he had any o
Robert sighed and wiped off the beads of sweat that had already formed on his forehead. Today is the last day of his punishment, nothing much had happened in the past few days. The penfolds restaurant was not making much of a progress, the income they made in the past few days were [poor. Robert continued moping the floor, this was the last room he is going to mop today. Cleaning the house for the past week had made him to become a clean freak that he could not bear to see a single stain on something, he would wash it off or clean it off immediately. Robert sighed and walked off to his room. He might have been married to Cassy for a couple of years now but they never acted like a couple for a single day and Robert was already used to it. She always treated him like trash but he always treated her like a stranger. Robert shirt was glued to his body due to sweats as he walked to his room and Cassy couldn’t help but steal a glance at his body and she looked at him with a furrowed eyebr
Robert walked into the restaurant with a hoodie on his head. The writing "PENFOLDS RESTAURANT" was hung on top of the building, the light inside was switched on making the writings to be shining. He pushed the door open and walked into the building, he sat at the far corner of the restaurant with a smile on his face. Though the restaurant is not filled up but they were quite alot of people here even though this is night time. He preferred being the CEO from the shadows, pulling the reins from the shadow for now, the CEO is left open though. Everyone was being told that the CEO is on a business trip somewhere else. The workers are not dumb, they had caught on that the CEO is probably trying to keep his or her identity and the person might be among them, unknowingly to them. Hazel is known as the manager and the one taking control of things for now. Robert knew that at least if he is not making much income, he is going to be making more than an average businessman in a week more tim
Days had slowly turned into weeks and into months, Penfolds restaurant all over the state and into the neighboring ones also. It was slowly gaining popularity beyond the state, it is known as the best restaurant for their unmatched foods and top notch hospitality to their customers. The media were also trying to crack who was behind the mask of the unknown CEO who rarely appeared and the majority of the times he had come are at night. Robert sat with Hazel in his office sipping his wine slowly and looking at the report for the day, the reports were always from six o'clock in the morning till eight o'clock in the night, since he always visit the restaurant mostly at eight thirty at night and the times he came earlier before the closing time, he might show up in the restaurant with his mask on and a suit. He had expanded the building of the Penfolds restaurant and had built branches and new industries all over the state and some beyond, but he never goes to the one outside the state
