Ten minutes to arriving at the office, Derek asks Eloine to call Jaria for him. "Tell her that I want to see her now and also get to talk with her about certain things I want."

"Okay sir," Eloine nods with a bow and goes over to do his job, along the way he realizes his mistake. "I'm sorry," he says with a smile. "I think you will have to be okay with me calling you sir at times, it's a formal title, a popular one I say without even realizing."

Derek grins, nods his head to show that he agrees to this. He makes a gesture to Eloine to go. He turns around and exits the room. Within one minute, he's back but not alone. He is back with Jaria, the unhappy Jaria.

"Sit here beside me!" Derek instructs Jaria. She clumsily accepts to, her face has become so twisted from anger and frustration that you will hardly recognize her with the keeping of this face.

"Eloine, I think you will give us ten minutes of privacy. So sorry." He informs his PA who smiles, winks at him as Jaria isn't looking thei

    Even after five minutes, he has no reply for her. Jaria is glad to have defeated her boss, she decides to concentrate with her studies and reading for exams, just then a series of message drops on her W******p account bearing Derek Dawson. She opens it readily and it's the set of rules he was planning of telling her. Perhaps he feels tired talking about all of them or it's the questions Jaria is asking which has made him to present them in texted format. "I'm giving you two minutes to read all of that, memorize them and take to my company with me. You aren't to misbehave, a slight catch with hard drugs for example can send a person to his early grave here, so a slight offense can hand you quite a good number of punishments." Jaria gasps, then she smirks. "And what are those like?" She isn't the type to accept any degrading punishment, that's why she is waiting on him to talk about it in details, tell her how it will look like. Inside her, she is prepared to assault him if he should

Instead of Derek Dawson, his Personal Assistant's number is given so that when it's call, Eloine picks it instead of Derek who can't pick it up, being the boss and in addition to the busy nature of his status. This is one of the major reasons he employed a Personal Assistant who would be handling affairs like this. Eloine picked the call, he asked the caller first of all to introduce herself before staying her reason for call. He expected it to be like other callers but eventually got shocked from what she said. "I'm Derek's mother, I know I haven't needed him for many years, yes, it seems so but his grandfather had taken him away from me when I eventually came back to take him with me to my new marriage.

    Throughout the intro ceremony which is designed to last for one hour, Derek is not himself. It's good that he is not the one introducing himself, least he would fumble over words. Eloine is. Because of the surprise promised him, he reduces the time of the introduction to thirty minutes, he believes that the over thirty staff members here would be able to say just their names and the position they hold in that thirty minutes. It's possible except for the fact that their duties can't be elaborated for Derek to understand, so he asks them to join together and compile a memo which will have all of their duties, specialization and future goals for the company, forward it to Eloine who will then pass it on to him. They agree on this before the meeting comes to an end. Immediately they disperse from the hall, Derek sits back with Eloine to question him on the surprise. Jaria sits with them, but a little bit far doing her thing. She isn't interested mingling with them any longer. "It's you

With the way Meline is starting, she is afraid that she might ask her something which she would stammer over answering if she doesn't starts now to prepare her answers. She switches the topic to family issues. History sets in, she recalls how Dawson chased her out of the family mansion in America when she visited, demanding to take him with her. "I was accused of being a negligent mother, meanwhile I couldn't just take you at once like that to a new marriage. I needed to be sure of the type of man I'm marrying and if he will treat you well as a child from another marriage. After being certain of this, I then came to take you with me but I wasn't given the chance." Derek heaves. He remembers his suffering as a child, if he grew up with his mother, he wouldn't have experience all those but on the second thought, he reasons that he might not have been what he is now if he didn't trade through th

He picks readily upon seeing that it is his boss. He wouldn't call if there's nothing really important.

    Dawson, his grandfather knew about most of what he demanded to know but he wouldn't let him know since he didn't want him to relate with his mom. From what Meline had told him, his grandfather hates her to death and if she wasn't cautious enough to heed to his threat, she might have been killed because he doesn't jokes with his word, especially when it has to do with an enemy. "Mom, why does grandpa hate you so much?" He recalls asking. His mom went mute for a moment, the next second tears began to flow from her eyes, she sniffs, after using the back of her palms to wipe the tears away. "I was actually cheating on your dad, not sexually but financially though. I met on F******k a richer man, from Dubai, the one I'm currently married to and we started dating but we didn't do anything sexual until we got married. I think this is what broke your dad's heart and killed him. He died of a heart attack a month after I got married to this man. He took me here, when you were a little child an

    Derek sleeps peacefully for three hours, before his phone rings. Eloine is in possession of it, he had left it with him so that anytime the receptionist who had gotten his number calls, he would pick and then come over to call him. He was afraid that he might not hear her call prior to the intensity of his sleep. Eloine knocks, opens the door and comes right into his room where he taps gently on him to wake up as it's time. "What's it?" He asks with sleepy eyes, to see clearly, he runs them with the back of his palms. "Yes?" Eloine chuckles at his reaction. "So you actually slept that deep? I slept but not as deep as you." "What's going on? Can you tell me or leave my room? Stop disturbing my sleep!" He tells him , making him puzzled. He stretched forth his phone, only then does he remember why he is here. "Oh no, I'm so sorry for yelling at you. I forgot I asked you to come call me whenever the lady calls." He groans and rises up on the bed. "I hate to be disturbed while asleep.
