"Hello Aurelius, how is everything going?" He asks, not letting him say anything yet. "I believe all is fine?" "No, if everything is fine, why am I calling at this time?" From his voice, he can detect that everything is not right. "Come on, tell me what's going on. I want to know." "Don't be panicky, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know." Aurelius puffs out some breath. From where he is, he shakes his head. "I never expected this." He says to himself. "Well, it's to our dismay that Jackson is dead. He did not make it and now we are hearing rumors of his gang coming to bomb your company. You will also need to tighten your security because they are after your life, that's what I need to tell you!" Silence drops on Derek. The impression this has caused on him makes it seem like he was the only soul in the world with no one to love or support him. His mind, heart and plans are shattered. He knows what it means to be under the target of a sophisticated gang. He wouldn't be
At the estate, Derek calls for an emergency meeting. All his staff at the estate, amounting to a hundred persons, Eloine, Aurelius, Jaria, Emily, Albert and himself are present. He can't leave without probably informing everyone. The meeting is scheduled after Leo had his discussion with Jaria. While the meeting is set to go on, his hired servants are packing his stuff, and package them well to fit into the plane, same is done with Jaria's belongings, Emily and Albert wouldn't be going with them, except for visits. They aren't under spotlight, prior to the fact that they aren't related to Derek but to Jaria. Jaria wouldn't need to change residence if not that she wants to follow her love interest. She has learnt to be close to him during her stay at the estate and wants to be near to him, to take care of him. This can't be achieved if she doesn't follows him. "Which country are we going to?" She asks him. Derek has told her quite a good number of times that his father gave him lots
As they are about to depart the meeting, Derek has the plan to go back and access the servants packing his stuff, then he receives a phone call. "Excuse me, let me respond to this call." He says to Jaria whom he was walking side by side with.Jaria becomes anxious when he sees the expression on his face, it has changed. "Who's that?" She asked. "It's my dad!" He says with a bit of anxiety, he is awaken from his wrong, he had failed to inform him of the next action he was about taking. He clicks on answer, connecting both of them. "Derek?" His father's voice comes up hard and disappointed. He is not able to say a word because he knows he has done wrong. "Why did you hide from me what's going on at the moment?" Dawson pauses briefly, to hear if he would have anything to say but guilt wouldn't let him say anything. Not like he didn't want to inform his dad but too much pressure and tension had caused him to forget about the necessary thing to do. "I'm the original owner of the compan
Derek is eager to hear this particular one, he finds a platform on which he leans. Jaria shakes her head, rolling her eyes. She is tired but can't leave now, she has to hear what he is saying."Can we meet at your estate for a brief moment, an hour probably before you depart? I'm sure you wouldn't deny me if this?" He asks. "This is very important to the sustenance of our company. You shouldn't treat it with any lavity.""Okay dad, I'll be available to receive you. Are you coming now? I mean it would be better if the meeting can be held soon.""Yes, don't worry. I'll be arriving there in the next twenty minutes or less." Derek is surprised, wondering how he will arrive at such a considerable short time. He knows that the distance from his estate to his will take more than twenty minutes. He is about to ask how this is going to be possible when Dawson replies. "I'll be making use of my helicopter, so you don't have to be amazed.""Oh, okay."The call is ended.Derek gets up from the p
Derek and Harrison happen to arrive at the same time. Harrison stops his car and walks over to greet his former boss as he is stepping out of the helicopter. Dawson smiles seeing him, he is glad that he cared to honor his invitation."Good one, Harrison. We are arriving at same time. How have you been?" Since he wasn't in the sane company with him any longer, he doesn't chats everyday with him and hasn't been seeing him everyday either."I'm fine sir, everything is going on well except for the sudden news I heard about your son. I know everything will be alright soon."Dawson shakes his hand, nodding his head. "Yeah, I hope so. I know it will be alright. Let's go in now!" He gestures to him and they start walking towards the entrance of the estate."I thought that you would be grumpy upon taking you out of your bed and the pleasant sleep you were having?" Dawson jokes, laughing."No, of course. Who would reject such a position?" He teases and both of them laugh. Of course, there would
Derek smirks. "You want to know why, apart from the fact that my dad has influenced me to choose you?" Harrison nods. "Well, it's because you are respectful," he says and Harrison shrieks. "No," he gestures with his hand that he shouldn't worry. "This is what I mean, you are the only person I feel would give my position back to me when I'm back. I'm confident with you, some people would have resigned after my dad handed over to me. They wouldn't want to work for someone my age." "I hope you get what I mean now?" Harrison nods his head. He rises up, and gives him an embrace. "What an emotional moment!" Dawson comments. "I see him as my elder brother," Derek replies with a slight smile on his face, his heart is heavy that he will be missing all those he was happy working day after day with. He develops a new strategy in his mind to help him from not missing them so badly. "I'm grateful for technology, I think I'll be a passive CEO at Dubai because the Executive Director is already
The plane takes off at exactly 10:30 PM. The flight time is estimated at thirteen hours, thirty minutes which is an indicator that they will be arriving Dubai the next day. Derek doesn't wants to arrive in the day, so he arranges to lounge in an hotel which is an extension of the Golden Estate, both owned by him. There is no how it will be kept a secret if he should arrive in the day, the packing of his belongings which will be carried out by the servants would attract the attention of the inhabitant of the estate. In America, he was really into car production of which he has the needed knowledge in being that he studied mechanical engineering in the university, here he will have to deal with Real Estates which he doesn't really knows much about. "I'm going to learn!" He determines inside of him. He wouldn't be putting every active interest of his into it because he has a Board that are already managing this company of his, producing excellent rewards. It would be a major loss to h
At the bedroom, he finds her still fiddling with her phone on the bed. He is anxious, more worried, seeing her so soaked up on her phone. If she was a teen, he would have demanded for her phone but he can't do that to a grown up like her. He decides to take it gentle this time. "What are you still doing with your phone?" He shifts closer and closer to her on the bed, knowing that Jaria would have no other place to shift to except she rises up being that she is at the edge of the bed. His hand extends slowly to brush her arm. Jaria feels soothed by this calm demeanor, she has forgotten it's still the same person that yelled at her. "I'm glad he has come to his senses," she says inside her, rolling her eyes at him. "He is acting calm now!" She exhales heavily, pushes her phone aside and looks up to him, but she refuses to keep a smiley face. Jaria doesn't wants to seem so easy to let go, she feels that if she shows him this part of her, he would repeat it next time, so she delays, pr
