Henry was a bit shaken after the meeting with Mr. Jang. What was it about him that made everyone want him to be their son-in-law? First, it was his grandfather, now his client. "I'll await your response, son." Mr Jang said after he refused to respond. What would it take them to understand that he didn't want to be in a relationship, at least not anytime soon? Grin walked into his office with his laptop, "Sir, the Russian investors have asked for a reschedule of the appointment. They are deeply sorry to cancel on you." He said. Henry raised his head and sighed, it was a blessing in disguise because he was feeling fatigued and still had a swarm of emails to attend to. "When do they plan on having the meeting?" He asked. "Next week, Tuesday." "Great, tell them it's fine." Henry said and Grin went to work. It was almost three hours later when he heard his phone ring. "Hello." "Hello, love. I've missed you so much." Rose's soft voice filtered through the speaker. It was amazing tha
My name is Aubrey, as you already know– I am a lady who loves sightseeing and exploring the world. I model part-time." She said. " Hmmm, that's good to hear. Tell me more." He probed and watched her hair glisten under the light which created a halo around her.Aubrey chuckled, this was the first man who sounded invested in her without asking for her father's name. Probably because he was also wealthy but that didn't stop her previous suitors. "'I am just a lady who enjoys being around people and working." She replied and Henry nodded. " What are your hobbies?" He asked further because he noticed that Aubrey sounded a little shy and he wondered why. He was intrigued by her smile and everything she did."I enjoy skating and visiting the movie theater when I can." She replied and adjusted some strands which slipped out of their curves. "That's great." He replied. He had expected her to mention shopping due to her job. Is that all you enjoy doing?" He asked and she nodded. The waiter
Hello? Hello? Are you there?” He called, and the man didn't say anything. “ Hello? What do you know about my parents' death?” He asked. “I thought you told me not to call you anymore.” The person replied, and Henry grew more confused. “You didn't state the reason you called.” Henry replied. Said. The man clicked his tongue before speaking, "Next time you shouldn't be too harsh with people. You never know who could be your helper.” He chided him calmly. “So, what do you want me to do for you?” Henry asked. He knew that people didn't help others for fun. There was always a warning. “What if I want to help you for free?” He replied. “ I don't have time for all of this. Name your price and present your evidence.” Henry snapped. This help didn't sound genuine.” If you would rather not talk to me, have a wonderful day then.” “ Impatient, I see. That's not a good trait because you will end up losing many good things in life. I only have one warning, be careful of the people you let int
“Hmm, now this is how you do stuff. How do you feel now?” Henry commented after checking through all the emails.How dare he?” Clara muttered inwardly as she showed him the corrections. He was a slave driver. 'After slaving all through the night, this is what I get? No form of appreciation.' She muttered, and Henry raised his head. “You were saying?” He asked and Clara blinked. She didn't know that she spoke aloud. “Nothing, sir.” Henry gave her another look and noticed that the rim of her glasses was crooked. “ Why haven't you fixed your glasses?” He inquired.If you hadn't worked me to the bone, maybe I would have had time to fix it. She thought. “I will fix it over the weekend, sir.” “It's dangerous to keep working with it. What if shards of glass enter your eyes?” He asked. Clara felt as if she was talking to an alien. Why was he acting concerned? “ We just have two days to go. I'm sure I can manage.” She replied softly and averted her eyes when she found him watching her cl
“ Thanks for coming over.” Henry said when he escorted Aubrey out of his office. He genuinely enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. “ Oh, thanks for having me over. You could have said that you were busy, but you didn't.” Aubrey replied with a graceful smile. “ That's right, not everyone will see things that way, I guess. Alright, extend my greetings to your dad.” He said and hugged her before she walked out of his office. Grin stared at Henry as if he had seen a ghost. Didn't he say he wanted nothing to do with any girl anymore? He wondered. “ Bring those files into my office. I am sure you are done with them.” Henry ordered as he walked back into his office. He sighed. A lot of work lat before him. It was time to start returning the calls he missed. He cleared his schedule for Aubrey.“So, what is the latest update?” He asked Grin when he went through the files. He just wanted to hear them again. He highlighted many errors with his pen, and Grin almost groaned. He was meticul
Clara's mouth dropped, she couldn't get Mr. Bart's pleas out of her head. “ What are you waiting for?” Henry inquired when he saw her standing behind Dr. Bart. “ I'm coming, sir.” She ran after him fast, and Grin shot her a look. He wondered what was going on with her and why she was a bit out of touch, and not coordinated. “What is wrong with you?” He muttered when she fell into step with him. Clara shook her head," Nothing, do you think he should fire him just like that?” She asked. In her opinion, he should have continued his investigation. Mr. Bart was not the only culprit. If he sent him away, what was the guarantee that it wouldn't happen again?“ It's his decision, after all. We can only hope he's not making the wrong one.” Grin replied lowly and straightened when Henry looked back at them.“ Hello, everyone. This is a warning to all of you that if this ever repeats itself, you will all have yourselves to blame.” He announced to the members of staff. “ Dare me if you have an
Something was missing in the office the next day and Henry found himself cranky. What is your problem, Henry?” He found it difficult to work, and he wondered why. After hours of trying so hard, he was yet to effectively multitask. Grin walked into his office holding his laptop as usual to show him what he was able to do. The emails he corrected and was waiting for his approval before sending them. “ Is this the new version? When did you work on this?” He asked Grin, who smiled. He had spent the night making sure that the words were well arranged. It would make any angry person cool down and listen to what he wants to say. “ You should try content writing. What is your maximum degree?” Henry asked Grin. This was impressive. His talent could fetch him more money. “ Diploma, sir.” Enroll for the next batch in the university. It would be online, right?” He asked. He wasn't going to be an employer who stifled people's talents to build his company. Anyone working for him would do it out
Saddled with the responsibility of answering such a tough question, Grin sighed. This was one he couldn't escape. 'What could have prompted this question?' He thought. “ Uh, I don't know what people say about you because I've not had time to discuss with them.” He answered diplomatically. Technically, it wasn't a lie, he had been working his ass off daily. “ Why do I find that difficult to believe?” Henry replied and gave him a piercing look. He knew that Grin was lying. If he as the owner could walk in on his employees gossiping about him. How much more a colleague? Did it mean that Grin wasn't friends with anyone in the office? “ I don't know what to say about that. But I guess that's part of the human nature. People are always bound to talk. If they don't speak about you, then I guess you are nothing.” Grin shrugged nonchalantly, he wasn't going to tell Henry about the rumors that were flying around because no one would be happy to hear negative conspiracies about themselves.
