Revenge of the Abandoned Billionaire Chapter 11
Eating the Humble PieCALEB'S POVA few days after the bike incident, Caleb received a phone call from an unknown ID. It was strange because he hadn't given any outsider his private phone contact. Only close friends and family members had this particular phone line. He was at the office looking through some reports on the computer when the call came in. Cautiously, he pressed the receiver button and placed it against his ear. He didn't say a word and neither did the caller. After what seemed like an eternity, the anxious voice of a female chimed from the other end. "Hello!" she said. "Is that Caleb on the line?" Caleb stirred. The voice sounded familiar. He would recognize it even in his sleep. It was the slam-bang voice of Elena. "Hi, Miss Daniels," he replied in an unenthusiastic tone. "How did you come by my private phone line?" "Oh, come on, Caleb. Don't be too formal. Aren't we old friends?" "No Miss, we aren't. In fact, I don't remember ever being treated as someone fam

THE CONFUSION HEIGHTENS Caleb noticed the silent pleas in Elena's eyes and started to feel sorry for her. But he couldn't let her off that easily otherwise she'd have learned nothing."Did Mr Pérez mention something about fixing my bike?"He was observing her closely to see her reaction. If Jose did mention repairing his bike, he also must have told her about the open apology. "Yes, he did," she replied hesitantly."So?" "I am willing to take responsibility for the damage to the bike." "And?" "And fix it I mean." Caleb was wondering why she was suddenly being petulant. "Seems to me like you're struggling between preserving your pride and keeping your job." "Caleb," she spoke his name firmly. The tone of her voice made him bolt upright. "I have apologised a thousand times to you. And if you want, I could apologise a million more. But making a scene before the entire staff of your company is a bit extreme." Caleb chortled. "A bit extreme you say? So embarrassing me in front o

THE UNEXPECTED TURNAROUND Getting to work the following morning, a group of men in blue uniforms was waiting to meet with Caleb. As soon as he entered the reception, the brunette secretary, Sofia, told him he had visitors. "These men are here to see you, sir." "Who are they and what do they want?" "I have no idea. They were insisting that they wanted to speak with you directly." "I can only attend to one person. The rest of them should wait at the lounge," Caleb said and started up to his office. Just as he ascended the stairs, his phone buzzed. Elena Daniels was calling. Caleb answered. "Good morning! I assume the team of experienced engineers I sent over to fix your bike has arrived." Elena said coldly. Before Caleb could respond, she went on. "I also like to think you received my letter of yesterday from your secretary." "Good morning, Miss Daniels..." "The engineers are there to examine the damage to your bike and also fix it. Kindly permit them. Thank you!" Elena con

BUSTEDThe very next random file he picked up and cross-checked had a hundred billion dollar (100,000,000,000) amount recorded for Vaseline and Liquid Bath Soap production, meanwhile, in the computer, it was input as one hundred and twenty billion dollars (120,000,000,000). Caleb noted the file with a red marker and kept it aside.By the time he had gone through about 15 files, Mr Benson who was sweating in his seat despite the cold afternoon weather which indicated the beginning of autumn, could no longer hold it in. "Why are you keeping some of the files separate?""It's for double-checking with the accounts department after I'm done here," Caleb replied without looking away from the screen. "And why do you need to do that, young man?" "Nothing personal, sir. Just company protocol."He stood up and walked to the desk where Caleb was sitting. "Listen, I know you're new here. And as a new employee, you may want to prove yourself as competent and ept to your employer. But I can as

THE DATE "I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams that a mere assistant could hold me to accountability in my place of work." Miss Jonas expressed in annoyance. She was good-looking, educated, intelligent and smart. She earned her place in Dezani Cosmetics with her brains and wealth of experience. But after what happened that afternoon, it appears she was going to need something more to outsmart Caleb if she hoped to remain relevant in the company. She and Mr Benson had agreed to a secret meeting after the close of work that day to discuss their next move to stop him. They were hanging out in a small clubhouse somewhere downtown. "He needs to be set up and taught a lesson." Mr Benson said, blowing out a puff of smoke from the cigar dangling between his fingers. "I've noticed he has a weakness for women?" Liliana murmured under her breath. Mr Benson's eyes narrowed. "Is that right?" She nodded. "You should see the way he drools whenever he sees me." He felt a stab

THE DEAL"You could cooperate with me to enable the company to recover those monies or you could feign ignorance and be accused of complicity in the court of law." Caleb said matter-of-factly while giving Liliana a penetrative stare.She shifted uncomfortably in her chair. All of a sudden, she was feeling self-conscious and cold. But the coldness had nothing to do with the weather.Liliana felt trapped.When she first noticed the irregularities in the records, she was due for a promotion at the time and the position was highly contested by two others: Mr Juan Salvador and Mr Daniel Sergio - both of which were highly connected. She was just a young colleague with a good CV so she had to give in to Mr Benson's demands to garner support for her. The position had come down to whoever won the majority vote. It was the only wise thing to do as Lord Dezani always emphasized due diligence and not favouritism. So when the boss went to Mr Benson for advice since he's the oldest amongst the

THE AMBUSH Caleb sat at the back of the cab thinking of what next to do. Whom to contact? Lilliana had lost consciousness on the way to the hospital.And her phone was switched off.It was one thing to hang out with your staff - albeit for an innocent clinking of glasses, but it was another different thing to be entangled with her when she lay unconscious. Especially since he was the last person she was seen with. If anything were to go wrong, there would be no easy way of talking himself out of it.Caleb shook her on the shoulder."Lialiana, wake up. Please open your eyes."There was no response.He urged the driver to speed up. He was taking her to the nearby hospital.They arrived and the nurses rushed outside with a gurney.Lilliana was taken inside and Caleb followed closely behind. A female doctor appeared just as the nurses were checking her vitals. "What happened?" she asked him. "I'm not exactly sure, doctor. I met her convulsing in her apartment. Maybe it's something t

DOWN BUT NOT OUT "Wake up, Caleb!" "Can you hear me, Caleb?" "Please open your eyes." Caleb heard voices in his subconscious. He tried to open his eyes but the pain in his head and nose was too severe.He groaned and mumbled incoherently. "Lil... Lil .. Oh, Lil..." and then sleep overtook him again. "He should be allowed to sleep while the nurses monitor his breathing until the sedative wears off." Doctor Fernandez turned to the distraught cab driver who stood at the foot of the hospital bed with his arms folded."But doctor, what is going to happen now?""I will contact his family via his phone. You did well in bringing him to the hospital.""These men came out from nowhere driving in a black Toyota Camry. They overtook our taxi in a commando style," he reiterated, his hands firmly gripping the bed rails. He was obviously still in shock. "Did you see their faces?" Doctor Fernandez asked. She had wrapped a bandage around Caleb's head to cushion the effect of the concussion. H
