Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 95. Common misconception.
It did take me some negotiations, but finally, I struck a deal with the eco-conservationists. I would think it would make my dad proud of my conduct in this whole affair if I was being a bit more egotistical. I mean, I would say I did a damn good diplomatic job saving myself from staying kidnapped.Even if I had to go on and promise these weird bunch of tree-huggers something downright ludicrous.I really need to learn impulse control when it comes to sentimentality.But when the next morning comes, the group of eco-conservationists bid me goodbye, and we take to the forest. I’m freed from my restraints after some apologetic glances are sent my way, and I rub my ankle perhaps a tad accusingly. I get some breakfast, and if they hadn’t kidnapped me, I’d have felt guilty for eating them out of their house when the people didn’t even have jobs, according to them that is. I did not know where they got the money for the groceries if they didn’t have jobs or even sponsors but wisely decided
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 96. I get to see her.
“Oh, my god, Jace, you’re alive!” a flurry of blond hair buzzes past the men and women of the construction site who are gathered around me to gawk at my sudden return from the unknown.I feel myself give out an ‘oof’ when Coraline comes barreling towards me, her arms wrapping around my torso in a vice-like grip. Instantly, I feel guilty for being gone for about two days straight, even though the circumstances of my absence were beyond my control. Oliver Hannity comes right behind, parting the crowd. An expression of relief immediately dawns on his face as he takes me in.“Thank god,” he breathes, “where the heck have you been? We thought you’d gone off and fallen off a cliff somewhere!” Then his attention catches my bandaged head, and the eyes narrow, "it seems like I might not have been too far off my mark.”I roll my eyes at him, still bent over from Coraline hugging me.“It’s a long story,” I reply, trying to keep my voice grouchy, but it ends up coming out relieved as I feel infin
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 97. Help.
“We need to get home tomorrow,” I tell Coraline as soon as we get some privacy, that is after we set everything straight before retreating to the cabin. I actually find myself missing the cabin although it had only been two days, appreciating its homeyness and familiarity especially compared to a certain other cabin I found myself in the recent times. It’s a shame we have to leave it though.I’m going to miss sharing a living space with someone if I’m being honest, more than the cabin. Coraline and I were really good roommates if I dare say so myself, we somehow fit in without giving each other trouble. I consider that quite a feat, given how many bad experiences about roommates I’ve heard of in the university, even if the said roommates were girls. I’m going to miss the easy routine we had going for us, the banter and the companionship of sharing a bathroom and kitchen, the way we both found ourselves being in sync with each other, so we didn’t get in the other’s way while trying to
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 98. An insane plan!
“I’m telling you, Jace,” says Coraline, “you’re insane for doing this.”We’ve packed everything up already, and honestly, we did not have much here that our ours. We decided to leave the groceries at home so the other person who would claim this place could use them, maybe the next manager who my father will have to order from here.I’ve sent him an email for that already, after trying to take a call but not coming up with anything other than the line constantly ringing. He must be out of the country again or at least in a no-signal zone.We’ve sent emails to everyone who concerns with our decision already before we started packing as the company needed warning in order to find someone new to fulfill the positions created by our absence. Of course, Oliver and the rest of the construction zone crew were flabbergasted at this new development. It will be throwing a bit of a wrench to my plans regarding the timber yard, but that deal could be done long distance. By now the preliminary tal
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 99. Goodbye, Montana!
Oliver takes me to a side before we could part ways.“Look, I’m not even pretending to know what’s going on in that brain of yours,” he starts to gripe, and I raise my hand in a silencing motion.“Look, Oliver,” I tell him, not wanting to fight with the man again, not when I was just about ship out of here. I might not come back here for a long time from now, and I may not meet Oliver again. I did not want to leave here on bad terms. “I know that you don’t have much faith in me, but this is not a decision I’m taking lightly. You have to trust me when I say that even though you don’t, I know what I’m doing. Believe it or not, I’m not an idiot. I’ve had an extensive education in business, and I’m utilizing it for the betterment of my father’s company, which would one day be my own company if my father has his way. And guess what, no more than six months ago, I would’ve loathed it. But now, I don’t. I’m actually looking forward to it. And these things, these foolhardy schemes as you put
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 100. I know just the man!
We watch from the wide windows of the train as the landscape that had homed us for the past few weeks, and I feel a strange sense of relief, knowing that we were bound for home. Although it was so sudden, Coraline looks happy as well.“It was great while it lasted except for a few parts,” suddenly, she said, her chin resting on her hand as she gazed out at the mountains, “but I’m glad we’re going home. I missed my parents.”“Oh,” I reply intelligently. And then I remember the package I’d snatched from the truck I’d taken to the town right before everything had gone to shit. I did not get to wrap it up as I had planned, but I will have to do without that now.Digging in my messenger bag, I fish out the package and hand it over to Coraline, who peers at it curiously with a bit of confusion.“What’s that?”“It’s something I got for you when I went to town,” I reply, trying not to blush at giving my best friend a gift. And no, I am not thinking about what those eco-conservationists said a
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 101. SPE
After breakfast, Gerald takes me to a skyscraper right in the middle of the city.“So, is this where the lawyer’s office is, or are we running some sort of an errand before meeting them?”“The former.”I whistle low, taking in the sleek and expensive-looking interior design of the building, the modern architectural style, and the sharply dressed people who are buzzing about holding the latest technological pieces in their hands, and realize that this is no building is nothing ordinary. People who work here must be pretty loaded, given how almost every city headquarters of some famous brands, local as well as international, are present. I even see a floor dedicated to my father’s own company.“Why is there a floor for Greyson Consolidated when we are literally based on Clandestine city?” I question, curious.Gerald shoots me a sly smile, “well, it’s because this building is owned by your father’s company, young master.”I can’t help but raise a brow at him, “seriously?”“Of course. I w
Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir 102. Cup of Tea
We are ushered into a very spacious office by the perky assistant, and asked to take seats until the man, Erikkson, arrives. Apparently, Erikkson is making himself a ‘cup of tea’ at the moment in the little kitchenette of the office.“Huh,” I mutter, “I always thought these lawyer types had assistants to these things for them.”“Not Erikkson,” grins Gerald, “when it comes to his ‘tea’, that man trusts no one with it.”I do not know why, but everyone keeps stressing the word ‘tea’ in relation to this Erikkson dude. I think it might be an inside joke of sorts. It’s more than clear that Gerald is familiar enough with these people to come barging into the office to meet the man without even having a prior appointment as well as bringing someone else with him, so I don’t ask him about it. I don’t want to annoy Gerald with my questions the first day I’m back in the city.“I see,” I reply, and take it upon myself to look around the office where a shocking amount of newspaper articles has bee
