Jackson had just finished a meeting in his office with some officials when he heard a knock on his door. He was presently overseeing the firm, a subsidiary company that his father had given to him to manage and had left in his care but the company was not doing so well these days and it was a bit frustrating to him. They had just finished a meeting on what to do as regards improving the value of the company and were done for the day when he heard someone knocking.At first, he had ignored whoever was at the door as he didn't want to see anybody's face again for the day but he told whoever it was to come in when he felt it was time to come in." What do you want?" Jackson asked the lady who had just walked into his office that afternoon. She was his secretary and had knocked on his door for the umpteenth time before he decided to let her come in.She was a lady in her mid twenties and had just resumed work as his secretary.Jackson glared at her the moment she took a step closer towa
" So, what was the verdict passed after you mentioned the offer about selling part of the shares of the Imperials to us?" Peter asked Jackson during one of their meetings.He wanted to know if the youngest son of the Imperial family had been successful with his demand for selling some of their shares to the Andersons.The group had met at their usual meeting point. A VIP lounge at one of the renowned restaurants in the city with reservations made by Jackson." Oh! Come on Peter" Melissa exclaimed. "You should already know that the jerk would never allow that to happen" Melissa scoffed, rolling her eyes at her husband for asking such a question in the first place.They all knew what was going to happen. Micheal would never budge in his decision to yield to their demands and wants." It was just as I expected" Jackson muttered to the couple while shaking the content of the drink in his glass cup, his eyes concentrated on it." Micheal defied my orders. He has shown what he truly is." He
" Good day Mr. Imperial, I'm sorry to interrupt you but we have just got an invitation for you" Joyce said to Micheal the moment she walked into his office.She saw that he was together in his office with his PA, Morgan. They were accessing a document on the table when she interrupted the session." An invitation from who?" Micheal asked curiously. He wasn't expecting any invitation from anybody whatsoever.And, if he were to be invited to any event for the month, he already had an idea about what each of them were. So, getting a random invitation now sounded like a surprise.Every of his schedules and plans on his activity list had been highlighted by his secretary, Joyce.She had always taken it upon herself to make sure that everything her boss had to do on his schedule were orderly prepared and arranged and that he was well informed about them beforehand." Let me see that" he said to her as she walked towards him to hand him the envelope.The envelope had the Imperial crest and b
Melissa and her husband Peter were excited over the moon. They had just gotten their own invitation sent directly to them by none other than Jackson Imperial.One of their servants who worked with them had come to inform them about the cards that were sent just that morning when both couples were not back home.And now that it was night and they were back, they had to be aware of the news that awaited them. " Did you say that the cards are from the Imperials?" Melissa asked the lady with surprise evident on her face." Yes ma'am" the servant replied. " Let me see that!" She exclaimed while stretching her hands to collect the golden envelope the maid was speaking about." Peter!" Melissa called " Come take a look at this" she called his attention to the envelope that was now in her hands." You can leave." she ordered the maid who gave her a bow before heading to the kitchen." Looks like we are finally close to getting all we've always wanted" Peter said to her with a wide grin spre
"I didn't think you were going to come" Jackson said, wearing a wide grin on his face the moment he saw Leo Dane walk in to meet him at one of his favorite restaurants in the city." Good evening Leo" Jackson greeted with a chuckle and stood up to take the other man's hands in a shake." Good evening Mr. Imperial" Leo Dane greeted in return and shook the man's hands. He knew that the youngest son of the chairman was up to something seeing as he had requested for his presence." Alright, you can have your seat and let's get straight to the chase, shall we?" Jackson said, smiling as he took a seat and watched Leo Dane do the same." So, what would you like to order? Or...not to worry, I know your usual. I'd just ask them to bring it over" Jackson boasted with a smirk and made a call for one of the waiters waiting in the room.He whispered some words to the waiter who took note and listened with rapt attention before leaving to do just as he was commanded.Few minutes later, the waiter h
" Jackson what is this I hear about you? What do you have in mind by planning this?" Old Albert Imperial asked his son the moment he got into the house that afternoon.After a meeting with some of the shareholders in the company, he had returned to the mansion only to see the entire place looking totally different and changed.The servants in the house were changing every piece of furniture into a new one and they were decorating the entire house in preparation for the dinner.He looked around and didn't need to go further with his questions. He already knew that this had happened under the very command of no one else but Jackson.The chairman walked into the large palatial living room that was adorned with the most excellent paintings and furniture. The servants all greeted and bowed their heads in reverence to him before going about with the duties they had been tasked to do by the young master, Jackson. No one dared to defy his orders.Jackson was seated on one of the couches in
Melissa stood in front of the standing mirror in the dressing room. She was checking herself out that moment and was feeling over the moon at her change of clothing.Ever since they got the invite from Jackson, she had taken it upon herself to look around her closet for the best dress she could wear for the dinner and when she didn't see one that was suitable enough to her taste, she decided to visit one of the most popular fashion house in the city." Ma'am, you look very beautiful and stunning in this dress" one of the ladies who were attending to her needs complimented." Yes, the dress looks so beautiful and great on you" the second lady agreed and they both chuckled.Melissa squinted her eyes at the mirror, she wasn't sure if she was quite content with what she was currently putting on. " I'm not sure, I like this, I'll just go over there to change it" she mumbled, looking at the dress in the mirror, her eyes examining every of its nook and cranny." I'll change this. Can I get
The dinner was happening tonight and Jackson was happy, he felt self content seeing as he had been able to come up with such a grand idea on such short notice.He knew that to make every of his plans happen, he would have to go ahead with the dinner and to his surprise, his father the chairman had done nothing to stop him with every activity he had been overseeing in the mansion to ensure the success of this dinner.Instead, the old man had said nothing. He only kept quiet, not uttering a word. Somewhere deep in Jackson's heart, he knew that his father was not going to oppose what he had in mind and would in fact give him the chance to go ahead with it.After all, it had been a very long time since the Imperial family got to have dinner like this. And he had taken it upon himself to make this one grand and more memorable. He wanted it to be one they would forever remember in their hearts." Sir, everything is prepared and ready just as you wanted" one of the servants of the house came
