Eric tilted his head around the dining table, trying to see if he brought his phone to the dining with him, but he recalled that he had left it in the room before coming to prepare breakfast earlier.“I need to call Damien.” He reiterated as he stood up abruptly from the chair and walked swiftly to the room. He stood there momentarily, tilting his head to look for his phone on the bed before going over to toss the pillow and search the bed. He heaved a sigh as he placed both hands on his waist as he tried to think of where his phone was.Suddenly, his phone began to buzz, and he took a deep breath, tilting his head in the direction where the sound of the buzzing phone was coming from.“Oh, there you are.” He whispered as he moved swiftly to where his phone was. He checked who was calling, and he hissed, heaving a sigh of frustration as he was not expecting to see her call.“I thought I told you not to call me. I will always do the calling. If at all you want to speak with me. Send me
“Talk to me, Damien. What is going on?” Eric asked, looking curious and worried at the same time. Damien heaved a sigh, chuckling as he noticed how worried Eric was about what he had said.“Relax boss. Everything is okay.” He said, and Eric heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he looked away momentarily before returning his gaze to focus on Damien. He cleared his throat slightly before he talked.“You are still not saying anything about the question I asked,” Eric said sharply, and Damien quit scrolling on the tablet, tilting his head to give him a brief look before talking.“The immediate past head of the company is indebted to your father. He was unable to pay up the debt until he was succeeded by the current person.” He explained but Eric did not seem to understand what he had said as she made a scrunching face. “Can you shed more light on that please?” Eric said slowly as he leaned forward, trying to focus his attention on Damien.“He was owing your dad to the tune of ten billion dol
“Good morning!” Eric greeted, extending his hand for a handshake as his gaze fell on Bryan, whose hands were tucked into his pocket. Samantha's eyes darted between Bryan and Eric, who looked at each other fiercely in the eyes as there was a moment of silence there.“Samantha, what are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be in the office working?” Bryan asked as he tilted his head to look at her, while she gasped, caught with fear as she thought of how to calm the situation down. Eric felt completely ignored as his hand was left hanging without a handshake. He slowly, shook his head away, chuckling slightly while he stylishly withdrew his hand.“Who is this lousy man?” Eric asked as he tilted his face to look at Samantha, who had fear written all over her face.“Who the hell are you and why would you call me lousy? Need I remind you that you are in my facility and I have the right to throw you out?” Bryan stated, taking a step forward, as he did not give Samantha a chance to answer
The door suddenly opened, revealing a man dressed in a black silky suit as he walked in swiftly with his hands shoved inside his pocket. From the way he dressed, he was the type of person that commanded respect and attention. Samantha's eyes fell on him as he walked straight to the desk of Bryan. She only watched as he cleared his throat to talk, while Bryan stood up from his seat to talk to him.“Hey, brother!” He said in a low tone as he gazed at him directly in the eyes.“Bryan!” He said in a low tone as he sat down on the chair, heaving a heavy sigh. “What could be so important that had brought you to my office? You should have called me.” Bryan said as he sat on his chair, waiting for his brother to talk.“I wanted us to have a face-to-face talk, and it's about the upcoming house party.” He said, and Samantha leaned forward, trying not to pay attention to what they were saying. She mistakenly dropped her phone on the floor while trying to pick it up from the desk, and the sound
Michael woke up abruptly to the sound of his buzzing phone. He tilted his head from side to side, trying to get acquainted with the environment as he slowly raised his head up. The call ended before he could reach for his phone, but not long after, the call came in again, and he reached for his phone to see who was calling him. “Why is mom calling me?” He asked himself as different thoughts ran through his mind. He checked the time to see that it was still in the early hours of the morning. He picked up the call and placed the phone over his ear to talk.“Good morning Mom!” He greeted in a groggy voice, and Rachael did not waste any time to notice that he was just waking up from sleep.“Were you still sleeping?” She asked, and Michael inhaled deeply, taking a few seconds before he talked. “Why did you call me at this early hour of the morning?” He asked, not answering her earlier question.“I realized that it had been a long that I talked to you, that was why I called.” She stated an
“Yes! And I will say it again if I have to.” Eric said and Michael cut in immediately, making him keep quiet.“You don't have any say in this. This is between family, and you are not part of the family. She keeps trying to add you forcefully.” Michael said, and Eric only chuckled dryly, lowering his head and shaking it slowly.“You see, that is the problem. You are repeatedly making the same mistakes, and you fail to learn from them.” Eric said, trying to sound serious, but Michael was not having it as he swiftly tilted his head to look at the waiter.“What is holding my orders?” He asked harshly as he felt that time was already far spent.“Eric, I don't have time for all these heedless and unyielding talks. I already woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and I will be most grateful if you don't make me worse.” He said, not looking at Eric's face.“If only you did not let your ego outgrow you, you probably would still have your house in your possession, and you don't have to run erran
Michael rang the doorbell, waiting patiently to get a reply as he tilted his head backward to see if there was anybody who was watching him.“Come in!” He heard a loud voice, and he smiled sheepishly, turning the doorknob to open the door. “Good morning Emily!” He greeted her rapidly as he went over to give her a hug. He felt his heart beating erratically as if it were about to burst out of his chest.“Good morning Michael!” She replied to him in a low tone as she closed her eyes to enjoy the hug. He gradually pulled away from the hug, and he could not help but tilt his head around the house slowly, feeding his eyes with the remarkable beauty of the interior. He could not help but express wonders all over his face, and Emily was forced to make a puzzled face before talking.“What's up with that look on your face?” She asked slowly, still with a puzzled face, as she looked around the sitting room as well.“You have a very fine house, Emily.” He said, and she could not help but chuckle
“What!” Michael exclaimed as he could not believe what was before his very eyes. His stuff was already outside the house as he came back. He looked through to see if Lydia was around, but he did not see her car, and he guessed that she was outside. He quickly brought out his phone to call her, but her number was not connecting. He heaved a sigh of frustration, leaning against the fence as his mind wandered off to different things. “Today is the worst day of my life.” He whispered to himself as he stood there for a moment, trying to think of what next to do.He rolled up his sleeves and checked the time to see that it was already 4:30 PM. “Who do I call now?” He asked himself as he brought out his phone, thinking of who to call at that moment, but nobody was coming to his mind. A thought suddenly struck his mind to call his mom and he dialed her contact immediately. It rang for several seconds, but she did not pick up the call. He heaved a heavy sigh as he was unable to get to her. He
