“Just like that?” Antonio asked to be sure about what he just heard now. He was shocked to the bone that Robert seems to be unwavering in his current decision. “Who in his right sense will agree to that kind of lame deal?” Antonio asked with a frown on his face, the expression of remorse he had on his face had been cleared off totally and was replaced with a different one entirely. The aura radiating around him was overwhelming and powerful, it was like he was trying to send a message to Robert that he wasn’t far off him and should be respected.The blank expression on Robert’s face seems to still remain the same, he wasn’t pressured by Antonio’s overwhelming aura, it meant nothing to him. “You see,” Robert began with his right hand stretched like he was about to explain something. “You have a huge deal of your family’s property if not all of them if this recording gets into the hands of the law and you are tried for it, not only will the both of you spend a couple of years in th
Just agree to the deal, bastard. Lucy stared at the both of them, getting impatient already for waiting for Antonio’s reply, she gritted her teeth in anger. The anger slowly wiped off her face and was replaced by a smile as she heard him finally say the word that she had been dying to hear. “Fine, I lost. Don’t upload it, I’ll sign over seventy percent of the business over to you” Antonio said through gritted teeth, it was hard to accept but he had to anyway, it was a prize he had to pay. The better choice here is to have thirty percent of the industry than losing everything. He sighed in defeat, his lips slowly stretched to a smile, “This is the feeling right?” he asked raising his hand up to prevent the sunrays from entering his eyes, he moved it to touch Robert’s face for a bit.He dropped his hand down slowly, his smile disappearing as his hands dropped further down. “It’s a miserable feeling, this feeling of defeat, I can’t stomach it. I thought I will never lose to any human
FEW YEARS AGO Robert kade had just gotten married to Cassandra Williams, there was quite a spark on the internet that the daughter from a very rich family had gotten married to someone whose parents were unknown and had even spent most of his childhood in the orphanage home. He was clearly labelled as a nobody. There was a dinner party hosted by the Gilgamesh family and the Williams family were among those that were invited, the media was there to take pictures of Cassandra Williams and her newly wed husband. The bright flashing light of the camera filled everywhere immediately Robert Kade and Cassandra Williams had gotten off the car, Cassandra intertwined her arms with that of Robert flashing a smile to the cameras as they walked towards the Gilgamesh mansion, they showed their invite to the bodyguards and they were allowed to walk in. Cassandra yanked her arms off Robert’s with a look of disgust plastered on her face immediately they had gotten out of the view of the media. Ha
The Gilgamesh family were gathered in their usual hall for a meeting, they were wondering why they were all summoned her at the same time for this emergency meeting. The room was in a tensed mood immediately Antonio walked in to the room, he had a brooding look on his face as he walked towards his position to seat down gave off an awful vibe, no one dared to mutter a thing. The hall was so silent despite how many people occupied it, every Gilgamesh family have been called, even those who were on business trips were called back. This gave them all just one thought that something was definitely wrong but they couldn’t quite figure out what it is. They had been chattering before about what could be the issue for the meeting but seeing the look on Antonio’s face now just confirmed their fears that something was wrong. “Phew” Antonio sighed, he raised his head to look at them. They were all looking at him expectedly waiting for him to give the reason why this emergency meeting was c
The expression on their face changed immediately after Donovan had walked out of the door, what he just said had struck them at their nerve, it is a question that they have been avoiding to ask themselves. The harsh reality that they will face, if the Babylon industries is being sold, there is a high likelihood that the Gilgamesh will fall apart, most of them will all go their separate ways. The new management that will take over will likely kick most of them off their position because they got it out of favoritism, they are people who are far better than them out there, who would want a mediocre worker at an exclusive position at his company. The people who mostly have this thoughts are those who are below in the hierarchy level of the family, those who are at the top are those who have worked hard and crawled their way up there, they are mostly made up of geniuses who pump in more income and made more profits at whatever position they were being told to head. Some of the people b
Jo parked his car in the parking spot in front of the Penfolds industries headquarters, he got off his car, there wasn’t any sign of nervousness or fear on his face.This wasn’t his first time going to top organizations, though, so he expects it to be the same as the others but a part of he could feel a part of him telling him that there is a chance that there will be a difference, but he couldn’t tell what it was going to be, he couldn’t tell if the difference might be a slight one, a calm one or a very wide one in fact. This thought slowly builds up the nervousness that he was trying hard not to feel at all, he still tried to act composed as much as he could with an atom of doubt dwelling at the bottom of his heart that once he pushes the door open, he will come crashing down on his knees. His body moved of their own accord and went straight to the door, his hands pushing it open little by little till it was fully opened and he stepped into the building hoping to fall or exactly l
Robert stared out through his window, a smile played at his lips, it had been long he stood here and have a nice view like this last. He felt a bit calm, staring at the clouds that slowly floated under the sky and the bright sun that sat magnificently in the middle of the sky.A knock on his door drew him out of his thoughts, he turned back to see who it was. The door was slightly pushed open and his secretary walked in, “Sir, the journalist is here” she said with a slight bow of her head. “Let her in” Robert nodded his head and turned his face back to what he was staring at, the journalist had been begging for just an interview with Robert, she was aiming to be the first person to ever had an interview with him and to ever hear about his story straight from his mouth. Robert heard the sound of the door being pushed open and the sound of it being slowly closed, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps. The sound of the footsteps stopped, Robert could tell that she was sta
“Thank you for this interview with me sir, I am very grateful for this” Caroline said with a slight bow and stood up off the chair with a fulfilled smile on her face. “You are welcome Caroline, I am rooting for you to claim the number one spot among the journalists in no time” Robert said with a thumbs up. “I will sir and when I do, I will like to have another interview with you then” she said and walked out of the door. “Phew! Who knows interviews can be so stressing like this?” Robert threw his head backwards on the chair, he let out a deep sigh and stretched his hand to open his drawer and he saw his packet of cigarette lying there with a lighter with a couple of some things. He stared at it for a while, contemplating whether to take it out or not, after a while he shut the drawer back and flattened his lips, opening the other drawer, he pulled it open and picked out one of the candies lying there, he tore open the nylon and put it in his mouth. He is trying to reduce his int
