Smith released the breath he didn't know that he was holding after he returned home. He parked his car at the parking lot and stepped out of the car then slammed the car door shut. He walked into the house and threw himself on the couch. He relaxed on the couch for a while until he recovered his strength. He stood up from the couch and walked into the kitchen then reached out to a bottled water in the fridge. He pulled off the lids and drank the whole content in a single gulp. He breathed out and walked out of the kitchen. He climbed the stairs and entered the master bedroom. He lay on the bed after entering his room. He stared at the ceiling blankly, thinking of what to do the next day in the USA. He had no one to talk to. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked up as his phone rang loudly from the sitting room. “This call better be a good thing,” he complained, walked out of the room then climbed down the stairs to the sitting room. He reached out to his phone on the call a
“If I may ask, what are you planning to do, Young Master?” Micheal asked and bowed his head respectfully, avoiding Smith's eye contact. “It's not something you need to know,” Smith said. “Why don't you wait and watch as I bring them down? Where's the fun if you know about the plan?” He asked and Micheal nodded his head. “It's fine with me. I can't wait to see how you bring them down yourself, Young Master,” Micheal said and smiled then Smith nodded his head. “That's enough,” he said and waved his hand conclusively. Micheal nodded his head and looked away. “We're here, Young Master,” the chauffeur said, breaking the silence that engulfed the car. Smith snapped out of his thoughts as Micheal called out to him. “Hope everything is fine with you, young master. This is the third time I'll be calling you,” Micheal said and he shook his head. “I'm fine. Thanks for your concern,” he said and stepped down from the car with a cold look on his face. “Have a great day, young master,” the
“Thank you all for coming to this meeting,” Madam Kate said as she walked into the conference hall that she made for meeting in her mansion whenever she wanted to talk about important issues with her family members. “It's our pleasure,” they responded and she smiled. “I won't waste our time today because I'm sure you guys have one or two things to deal with but this is more important,” she said and sat down on the golden sofa and then placed her hand on her chin. “I'm sure you all are aware of the reason why I called for this meeting.”“And for those that aren't aware of why we're here, the Edward family has announced the launching of a major project that is worth billions of dollars.”“And you all know what that means if we manage to get our hands on any of it,” she said and they nodded their heads. She smiled in satisfaction as she watched the look on their faces. They were ready to do anything to get the contract. “Now, we have to discuss who is going to help us execute the jo
“Falling into my trap, aren't you? The Rodriquez family indeed,” Smith said and smirked discreetly as he glanced through the list of the applicants.Funny enough Rodriquez's family were among the first company to apply for the job. It showed how desperate and determined they were to get their company back on its feet, especially Madam Kate who could do anything to make sure what she worked years for was running well. She couldn't afford to let anything happen to her company. “You'll pay for belittling me. You'll cry but no one is going to help you,” he said as he glanced through Madam Kate's photo on the internet. She was the cause of everything. His ex-wife wasn't demanding and was good with him until Madam Kate influenced her and turned her back on her. Although his ex-wife shouldn't have listened to her if she wasn't covetous, he still had her to be blamed. At least, he would have settled down with Georgia while he ruled his father's corporation worth trillions of dollars. He
“It's working, isn't it?” Smith muttered to himself and laughed mockingly after receiving a file inside his mailbox. Surprisingly, it was from the Rodriquez family. Once again, they were among the first few families that sent the pre-business proposal so fast. It's quite unbelievable. What did he expect from a desperate family like theirs?He wanted them to have a grasp of hope they were going to get the contract and then all of a sudden, it'll fall into someone's end. Maybe their enemy. That was what he faced. He was full of hope when he returned home with a diamond ring for his wife but he caught her cheating on him. She didn't feel remorseful for her shameful act, instead, she abused and mocked him. She even had divorce papers already in her wardrobe. Although he had healed from the pain and moved on, he couldn't stop remembering and that was the reason he was determined to make her family suffer. He was no longer the same poor and weak errand boy that he used to be. He had b
The next day, Smith woke up as the alarm blared out loudly. He groaned and reached out to the alarm clock after opening his eyes. He shut the alarm off and stood up from the bed with a cold look on his face. He pulled off his clothes and cropped them on the floor then approached the bathroom. He put on a flip-flop and walked into the bathroom. He breathed out in relief as he turned on the shower and stayed under the shower that rained down cold water on his body. He enjoyed the coldness of the water on his body. He turned it off and entered the bathtub that had already been filled with warm water. He reached out to the soap and sponge and then began to scrub his delicate skin. He came out of the bathtub after he was done bathing. He walked out of the bathroom with a hotel wrapped around his waist. He pulled off the towel and walked up to his wardrobe. He pulled out a black tuxedo suit and chinos. He wore it and reached out to the golden Rolex watch on the table. He was about to
“Fired?” The receptionist, Alessia, asked in a weak tone. The vice president, Victoria, frowned and glared at her viciously. “I'm sure you're not deaf, Alessia, so pack all of your belongings and leave before I call the security guards on you.”“You're no longer needed in this company,” she said in a hoarse tone and Alessia's heart shook in fear. “Please don't do that to me. I won't do it again, ma'am,” Alessia said and fell on her knees. “That's too late. You should have thought of the repercussions of your action before looking down on her,” she said in a cold tone and Alessia shook her head with a sigh. She fought back the tears that threatened to pour down from her eyes. She knew that her life was going to be doomed if she left the company on a bad note. They would not only pay her this month's salary but they were also going to make sure she didn't get any official job from any company. She would be blacklisted. Getting blacklisted was the last thing she needed in her life
Smith turned to his step-brother, Jayden, who stared at him with a smirk on his face. Although he noticed something fishy about his brother's behavior, he didn't take it to heart. He chose to ignore it and pretend it never happened. “Have a nice day brother,” Jayden said and tapped on his shoulder then walked into the conference room. “You!” He muttered with a cold look on his face and bit on his lower lips. He wished he could break his brother's nose and make him pay for disrespecting him but he had to comfort himself because of the presence of the board members and directors who were present in the hall. He shrugged and walked into the conference hall with a cold look on his face. He arched his eyebrows as his gaze landed on the men in suits, who were present in the conference hall. They were probably the board members and directors as his father had said. He couldn't find any staff apart from the higher official who wouldn't dare to trifle with him. “Good morning, Young Mast
