Nathan's POVHe raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what she intended to say.Jane cleared her throat, “ I can take him to the kid’s room to you know play there while I watch him so you both can talk…” she said.Nathan frowned. Did they have a kid's room in the Hayes mansion? He had a thought. Is that what the room before the game room was? He'd always wondered what the colored door besides the game room was for and since it was not being used, Nathan had not bothered to check, thinking that it was empty.However, this was the first time he had heard of having a kid's room, considering the fact that there were no kids in the house. Instead of asking Jane about the room, he nodded and looked at David.Keeping the child engaged while they talked was a smart idea. At the very least, David would pay attention to the discuss rather than try to keep his son from touching anything in the room as he had been doing since they arrived.Nathan also trusted Jane to take good care of the child l
Nathan's POVNathan was in a dark room, which was clearly illuminated by only one source of light: a bulb in the center of the room. he looked around, noticing how dark every other area in the room was, apart from where he was standing.The entire area was filled with shelves as tall as the ceiling, each containing a box of documents or files. It had to be a store room, he thought.He looked around, unsure of what he was actually doing in the room and how he had gotten there in the first place. Last he checked, He had gone to bed after his meeting with David Lakewood, the CEO of Solace Enterprises after waiting for Scott to get home.Nathan groaned, turning around to look for the entrance, but just the area he was standing in was illuminated, so he couldn't see where it was."how the fuck do I get out of here?" He thought.He patted his pocket in search of his phone, and when he found it, he took his phone out. He turned it on, frowning. At least it worked in the room, but Something w
Nathan's POVNathan frowned and squinted his eyes to read the list, but he couldn't see what was written on the paper. It was as if the paper was just a blank sheet and nothing was written on it." It's literally everyone in the company!" Nathaniel Hayes shouted. " Who the fuck isn't on the list Myla. This is almost everyone…" Myla sighed as he handed Nathaniel Hayes a flash disk that Nathan immediately recognized. This was it, he thought. It was the identical flash drive he had discovered that night, tucked beneath Nathaniel Hayes' table. He wondered how Nathaniel Hayes had gotten it and now, he was getting answers. What shocked him though was Myla's statement about everyone in the company being in the list. He was going investigate the list if he ever woke up from this moment, he Thought.Nathan quickly realized what had happened. If it was the same flash drive, he turned his head to look at the paper in Nathaniel Hayes' hand. The paper then had to include a list of those implic
Nathan's POVThe noises from outside Nathan's room, however, interrupted his stream of thinking and prevented him from continuing his search for his phone.He scowled as the yells became louder. Nathan pondered what the hell was going on in the as he climbed out of bed. He could distinguish at least three different voices. One belonged to Scott, while the other two were too noisy to distinguish.Nathan questioned why Scott was shouting at the top of his voice. Was he yelling at a staff or something?Nathan descended down the stairs, jumping two steps at a time to reach the source of the chaos. The more he got closer, the louder the voices were. The first person he saw was Jane, so obviously one of the voices belonged to her.This was the first time he had seen her yelling at the top of her lungs in the months she had lived at the Hayes mansion. She'd always been a calm and reserved woman, and even when he did things that irritated her, she never lost her cool.She was always patient
Nathan's POVNicholas narrowed his eyes at Nathan, saying, "Last I checked. You did this out of jealousy towards Rivers Estates...Samuel had the deal under control. But you simply had to let your ego get involved..." Nicholas accused.Ego? What the hell did ego have to do with breaking the deal? It was a poor transaction from the start, and he blamed Samuel for failing to notice it. "Well, the last time I checked, I was the CEO and President of Hayes Holdings, not Samuel. I make the final decision, not Samuel or Scott! So the next time you intend to confront Scott, perhaps you should do your homework on who runs the show, asshole!" Nathan gritted between his teeth.Nicholas smirked, and Nathan did all in his power not to Punch the man's face in order to take that smirk away. If self control was a person, he was that person." It still does not change the fact that you broke a deal with us! A deal that was already in motion before you came in. I’ll make sure that the whole country kno
Elton Ross' POV "He's on to us, sir," Dane mumbled hurriedly the moment Elton got to where the man was standing.Elton scowled, unable to comprehend what Dane was saying, the man had better speak clearly or he would walk away: "What do you mean, he's into us? Who is on to us?" He asked, arching a brow.Dane pulled his fingers through his hair, looking increasingly irritated and scared. Elton couldn't remember the last time he'd seen Dane like this, especially without his shadow, Jackson, following him.Dane was always well coordinated and could control his emotions well. The man made sure that he didn't wear his emotions on his sleeve and it was difficult to discern what Dane was feeling at any given time.Seeing Dane looking scared, made him frown in worry.Dane sighed, "Nathaniel Hayes. He is fucking on to us...I knew we shouldn't have messed with him," Dane remarked through tight teeth.What? Nathaniel was on to them? He had no means of knowing about their plans. Elton had merely
Elton Ross, POV Rivers Estates was far more significantly better than Solace Enterprises. Even Ross construction was considerably superior to the Solace operation, Elton thought as he entered the building. He hadn't given up on Project 100 and was actually at Solace Enterprise to check out his rival and encourage the CEO not to accept any deals from Hayes Holdings. If Hayes Holdings was going to take Rivers Estates out of the project, it was very likely that they would go with the company that finished in second place in the competitive bid. Surprisingly, Solace Enterprise, with its limited resources, had submitted a better proposal, but Rivers Estates won due to its name and reputation in the sector.That was what they wanted others to know. The only reason why Rivers Estates had won that bid was because he had offered some huge incentives to some decision makers in Hayes Holdings and right now, they were failing him.He sighed and tucked the envelope he was holding, under his ar
Elton Ross' POV Elton groaned; he had thought David would listen to him and not force him to do what he had planned to do in the first place, but the man was clearly stubborn and was still relying on his little pride.He took out the envelope and threw it on the floor in front of David. He arched his brow, waiting for the man to pick it up. He had no respect for David Lakewood right now, and he was willing to go to any length to ensure that Solace Enterprises did not receive the fucking contract.The entire country knew that the Project was going to be managed by Rivers Estates, with Ross construction as the subcontractor, even if Hayes Holdings has not given an official announcement. It would look bad if they didn't get the contract, only for Solace enterprise to be awarded the contract. People will talk and it might affect the company stocks when rumors starts flying."Pick it up," he ordered.David chuckled dryly. "What's this? A joke?!" He muttered. "Why should I pick up someth
