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
Robert decided to switch the topic to something else after seeing the pitiful look on Hazel’s face. They had gotten really close and deep down Robert could feel that he is beginning to develop feelings for Hazel, the lady who have been with him through thick and thin. He don’t want to discuss the matter any further again, the pain of everything he had to go through is starting to surface and it is taking everything that he have to suppress that pain as much as he can. The public were already starting to believe that Cassy doesn’t treat the poor rudely after few months of them getting married. The Williams always wanted to pursue him out of their life but it will really affect their business life. They were starting to get pissed and poured out their frustration and grievances on him, telling him that he is staining their family ancestry with his poverty. Deep down he wanted to run away but he had to stomach all the abuses and insults he was getting on a daily basis because of Mr. D
Cassy sat in front of the television watching the early morning news along with her mother, Mrs. Alice. Robert is quite surprised as he saw them sitting in front of the television, he had never seen them watching the news before except Mr. Derrick. When he woke up, he was surprised that he didn't wake up with a splash of water on his face since he had overslept after coming home early this morning. He walked further to see what they were watching and a smile spread on his lips. "Yesterday the Penfolds industries manager and representative Mr. Liam Richards opened a new industry yesterday at..." The newscaster said and a video of Liam opening the industry was shown on the television. Soon the media was shown crowding Liam."Sir, please can you give us information about the masked CEO or can you tell us who he is?" one of the reporters at the scene said, stretching her microphone to him.There was a pause as everyone waited for him to answer. This is the question that have been crowd
“I know” Liam said again calmly with a smile on his face, with his eyes on the road as he drove fast still maintaining speed limit. “Why are you smiling?” Robert asked with pouted lips. Liam decided to ignore his question, he have something else to ask him, “Have you told her yet?” “No” Robert replied immediately. This time they weren’t having that boss to employee conversation, it is a best friend to a best friend convo. Liam and Robert both know when to keep the conversation casual or official. Liam let out a soft chuckle “You should tell her before she gets hijacked from you, I noticed she have a lot of suitors hot on her heels. I have seen some at the conference meetings the both of us have gone to” Robert gritted his teeth and clenched his fist at the thought of seeing Hazel with another man, it irritated his skin and he wouldn’t take him a second to punch out the teeth of the unfortunate fellow. He felt his heart burn with anger, he breathed out calmly to reduce his anger,
