Evan always made efforts to please Hailey. He would do whatever she asked, if that would make her happy. But this was not just something that would please her, it was something that would be of benefit to him as well. He ruminated over the suggestion days after Hailey had told him, and came to a decision after he had considered the pros and cons of having to partner with the famous and extraordinarily rich company. It would give more visibility to his own company. They had been looking for ways to reach their target customers, and although they did all they knew would make their company more visible to target customers near and beyond, Evan did not think he was satisfied with the results they had gotten so far. The visibility was a pro. The con however, was that they may lose some customers to the Milton Conglomerate. But when Evan made his calculations, he could also foresee Milton Conglomerate adding more customers to his own company. Also, the kinds of customers that would come wit
Evan honoured his invitation. He took Hailey alongside because she insisted on coming along since the idea was hers in the first place. Even without saying that, she knew he would take her with him for goodluck. It was all a part of her plan. He had already bought her a new car and taken her on a shopping spree, a spar session and had gotten her other gifts. He was also really more loving to her now that her suggestion was taking the progressive side. So, when he told Hailey that the CEO of the Milton Conglomerate requested an audience with him, she asked to go with him, and because he was very pleased with her, he agreed to let her go. Evan wrote to Cade, informing him of his arrival to the city, and his subsequent intention of visiting the company for the meeting they were to have. Cade replied to him, and an appointment mail was sent to Evan along with a virtual visitor’s pass. Evan didn’t tell Cade that he was coming along with someone else because he didn’t think it was necessar
Cade decided it was time to carry out his second important meeting of the day. He had stalled it for far too long, and now he was determined to get it over with. He had been avoiding speaking to his father; the father and son had not spoken to each other since Cade's arrival. He had his questions ready, had his mind made up and ready for whatever outcome talking to his father would bring. It would either be fruitful or just a waste of time. Whatever it was, Cade was ready for it today and finally decided to go over to his father's house after much procrastination. Whether or not he met with Alex and Cassandra did not matter to him. He would outrightly ignore them and proceed with his mission. The walls had also been repainted. The outside looked like it had been redone. He could guess that his father did some renovation on the house. He got down from his car and went to the front door after being searched by the security at the gate. He rang the doorbell and waited for an answer. No
Cade sounded so formal, and his formality made his father feel guilty for getting angry at his question. It was after all just a harmless question, and Cade was his son too. There was no problem being a curious child. Cade intentionally didn’t mention that he also wanted to know how his father was able to get such a large sum and give it so easily. He didn’t want his father to get defensive. He would investigate that one on his own later."He just wanted to purchase a building for himself. You all may not think so, but Alex has a good eye for business, if only you all would give him a chance to prove himself." Mackenzie said. Cade took note of the information and didn’t bother to argue with his father about Alex, it was useless since his father will pick Alex’s side no matter what. Alex had been given a lot of chances to prove himself, to learn to handle a big company like Milton Conglomerate properly, but he had misused them all. The boy was just too lazy."Was it from your account
It was the custom of the Milton Conglomerate to hold various charity events every year. However, in the past three years, the company had been unable to host as much of these events as they used to due to the losses they accrued when Cade disappeared. Now though, that Cade was back and had restored the company's glory, there was going to be a charity event. The year before Cade's disappearance, the charity event that the company held was in honour of people who had lupus. A fundraiser was done for people in the company with the disease, and some other beneficiaries. The events usually get honoured by the presence of high profile men, influential women and important people all around the country, and it was usually a huge success because of the presence of these people. This year, Cade had decided the event would be held in honour of children with leukaemia and anaemia. All the money made would go into free medical care for as many children as the program could take.The end of the yea
"Alex bought a penthouse instead of some old building your father was expecting him to buy. Your father was angry because of that. He hadn’t known then that Alex planned to move out of the house and he saw that expense as unnecessary, so they argued a few times." Cassandra replied with a shrug. "Oh."So his father hadn’t told him the complete truth. Alex hadn’t bought the building after all but as usual, he lavishly spent so much money on something that wasn’t related to business at all. So why was his father trying to convince him that Alex was more business oriented now? Was hs just doing that so Akex would be called back to work at Milton? And if Alex no longer purchased Mr Roberts building, then how come he wrote a cheque to Mr Roberts with the same sum? Was that cheque planted in the car as fake evidence on purpose?"Like, why would Mackenzie want my son to buy some retarded building just because Alex showed interest in it? Yes, he showed interest at first, but soon changed his
As soon as Cade left, his father descended the steps and grabbed Cassandra’s hand.“Are you crazy? Why didn’t you tell me he was here?” He yelled at her.“Let go of me! He asked to see me. Am I now a prisoner? Can’t I have visitors?” She yelled back and removed her hand from his hold.“Besides, I didn’t ask him to come here, he just showed up.”“He already questioned me and you just undid everything I said to him. Do you even realise that Alex is a suspect in Mr Roberts murder? Yet you just told Cade that Alex had threatened the man.”“That doesn’t mean Alex killed him! Besides, the man deserved death anyway. How dare he refuse to sell his useless property to my son.” She huffed.“If anything happens and Alex is found guilty of the crime, make sure you all count me out of it. I wish that boy was born with even half the brain Cade has. My life would be easier.” Mackenzie said and Cassandra’s anger multiplied.“How dare you compare my son to that fool?! My son is a hundred times better
Cade tried his best to stay focused for the rest of the event. He was surprised at how disorganized he had become. It was unlike him to lose his shit, especially when it had to do with a woman. He retained his sanity when Hailey, a very sexy woman, stripped naked in front of him. Yes, he had been a little surprised, if not a little turned on, he admitted, but he wasn’t rattled by the woman's body the way he was nervous now after meeting Raegan again. The last time they met, he was not so taken by her beauty because of the dire situation they had been in, and also because she looked so simple back then so she could blend in and not be noticed. If anything, he just agreed to have drinks with her because she asked, and because he wanted to be nice to someone trying to thank him for saving her life. But not today. Today, however, he could not take his eyes off the lady when her father tried to introduce her, and even when she walked away to her seat. He could see that was an exquisitely b
