The guards there ushered them out of the place while he was given a special treat around.
Henry went through the list of what he needed and then when he was satisfied, he turned around and left the mall.He could feel the thick air of satisfaction floating around him as he walked back home and for the first time in a long time, his face carved into a genuine smileHe had to sleep early that night because he had a whole lot of places to go to the next day.First, he was going to head for the business headquarters of his company, just as his Father had duly informed him and after that, he was going to see his foster mother at the hospital.He could barely sleep well that night, always rolling on the foam. He always slept on the floor in his hard rock room. The AC and the extra soft foam, he wasn't used to all that comfortThe next morning, it was time for him to go to his company. He got ready as soon as he could and had forgotten the deal that he had with his grandfather the previous day.He wore a simple dress because it was hot outside and he was more comfortable in that rather than wearing expensive clothes for now. It was just a little outing and nothing more.But as he was about to step out of the house, he heard a guard yelling after him."Young Master." He yelled.He turned around to notice that, whoever the man was, he was in a car.He got into the car and he was driven slowly to the place, his eyes pairing halfway through the window to catch a glimpse of the city.At the far end of the place, he noticed that a car passed by. His hands clutched hard with so much anger and he gnashed his teeth.Even in his dreams, he was certainly going to recognize the car of that man who stole his girlfriend away from him.But there was one thing that he did not want him to know just yet and that was the fact that he was rich.He tapped the shoulders of the driver, turning his attention towards him."Do you want anything, Young master?" His eyes were focused on the road and also on his young master."I am getting down here," Henry noted and as the words were coming out of his mouth, he was already getting off his seat."But... Your grandfather told me that I should always keep a close eye on you."His eyes farrowed at the guards who were already shivering right at the point where he sat."Okay. Young master." He finally agreed, pulling the car over to the road.Henry got out of his car and walked gradually towards his company which was no longer that far.Even though it was his, he could not help but sip in a really deep breath at the sight of the gigantic building that was standing right before him.But when he got there, he was hit by a familiar scent that made him turn his head around almost immediately.It was Fred who recognized him almost immediately."What are you doing here?" He clenched his teeth with so much anger, waiting to reach out to the guards to chase him away from the place but he decided to keep his calm..."Don't you think that I should be the one asking that question?" There was a smirk on his face.He could see his eyes right in his eyes as memories of his ugly past with him flashed through his head."Well, pardon me. Did you think that I was going to fire you after what happened previously and you are here to beg for a job?""I am not as heartless as you think I am. I can still retain you back in the company but this time, as a cleaner." He burst out into laughter."That is where you belonged right from the very beginning and I am so sure that you know that. And check out my new baby too, GH five, I just got it."Henry grinned his teeth and stared at him for a while. The car that he was bragging about was produced by Grandfather's company."While, sorry to disappoint you stupidity but I am not here to beg for a job." He grinned.Fred already knew that it was going to be difficult for him to live in the city without one.His hands clutched with so much anger because of the words that had just been said to him and he wished that he could slap him right on the face.But he didn't want to spoil his chances With the largest business empire in the city."Talking about that bill that I wanted to pay a few moments ago. What if I give you all the money and also raise your pay."Henry already knew that Fred could be every single bit cunning and deceitful and this was one of the very few days that he was not going to go down his trap."Is that so? I never knew that you had become so generous.""Well, you already know. If not for this generosity, some of you would not be living in the street. But for this big favor that I will be offering you. You just have to do one thing. Kneel, kiss my feet, and apologize.""And all your sins would be washed away in an instant.""Is that so?" Henry's eyes brightened.He could feel an inflow of joy flooding through his bloodstream almost immediately but he did not know that Henry was only mocking him."That's so ewe." He exclaimed to his utmost surprise.Fred stared at Henry for a while, surprised at the audacity that the young man that was standing right before him had developed over a short period.But he was sure it would not be long before he came crawling on his knees and begging for his forgiveness when he was hit by the harsh realities of life."I would preferably kneel before a pig. Or rather leave me to rot rather than kneel before a low life like you.""You are the one that is certainly going to kneel before me."At the words, he clutched his hands angrily and stared right into his eyes."You fool, let's see who is going to come begging to who first.""Is that a threat?" Henry scoffed."If you aren't a fool, then you will realize what it is." He fired back at him."Watch as you fall." He said walking away from him.He was such a fool and he had gotten himself right into the trap that he was never going to come off from."Let's see how it goes," Henry growled.He watched as he vanished into thin air and he was left alone there. He wanted to get his grandfather to tell him the manager of the place so that he would be driven away instantly but he decided to keep cool.He wanted to know what his ambition was, coming into his company.He stepped away from the place and walked gradually towards the massive gates that were made of rare gems, all glittering in the ray of the sun.The place was packed filled with a lot of people wanting to get into the company but there was a warden at the gateFrom what he was told, the warden was going to ask everyone their ambition in the company and if it was reason enough, he was going to let them in.He was pretty shocked by the fact even a simple security officer of the company was so expensively dressedFinally, he got to the Security and a search was carried out.He wasn't even worried that he was the owner of the company. Besides, he was like any other person.Since he was past visiting time, he was the o
"I am sorry about him ma'am. He is nothing but a useless and worthless bum trying to get into the company but I am going to get rid of him right away." He raised his head slowly, about to walk away and get the security officer but then, Miss. Clara stopped him, Staring right into his eyes and gnashing her teeth."I want you to repeat what you just said. A useless and worthless bum ?" He frowned and he nodded her head."Yes ma'am. But.." he did not even get to complete his statement before a thick slap landed on his face."How dare you. You fool." She growled at him and he clutched to his aching face, totally confused.Miss Clara pulled away from him almost immediately and walked down to him."I'm deeply sorry sir and speechless at the same time." She fell on her knees to apologize to him, knowing way too well what his grandfather could do to her if he found out anything about it.Her heart was racing, hitting the fence of its caves while she looked down without daring to steal a glanc
Clara Adams? Henry inquired.Yes good sir, I'm the manager of this car ranch, she said with a swift smile.Let me quickly show you to your office, she said and walked out, and Henry followed her gently.Here is your office Mr. Henry. I sincerely want to apologize for the scene that transpired downstairs. That will never happen again.It better not Clara … .it better not, he said with a weird smile.I believe everything will go well from here on out?she asked, striking an expectant gaze.It should be Clara. You will have to earn my respect because you lost it in seconds of our meeting, he said and went to sit on his chair.Have a seat, Clara, he said with a smile.Now, I need to let you know that I am a very friendly and free spirited young man. I see faults in people and I don't judge them far too fast. I lean close to see where that fault is coming from and just by doing that I rectify that fault.Belittling people is the least thing on my list and if you want to work here with me as
Holy shit!!! Henry screamed.They hit the tree so badly that Henry lost cautiousness.Amidst the chaos and flames on the deserted highway, Henry woke up with a little tear on his arm.He coughed and managed to get out of the car. He beckoned to the driver, and he woke up, his eyes wide open in shock.Sorry, master he went on one knee, I am sorry he said, limping towards Henry.It is fine, let's get ourselves out of this place, the car isn't safe…they crossed to the other side of the road.After waving for minutes, a car stopped.I'll be happy to help a young lady in the front seat offered.Thank you, kind, Miss Henry said, they got in, and the driver was bleeding profusely.They got to the hospital after a thirty-minute drive and Henry and the driver were admitted.The news soon reached the grandfather, and he arrived at the hospital with Henry's foster mom, who he met on his way to the hospital.Henry…hey … . Henry..his mom called with a crying face, she asked the nurse why isn't he s
At the hospital, “ Grandpa, please don't leave me alone.” Henry said when he saw his grandfather lying on the bed with various wires hooked to his veins. “ Young master! You can't be in here.” A nurse said and stared at him aghast. The doctor expressly said that grandfather should be left alone. “ You aren't going to tell me what to do.” Henry shouted at her. “ I need to be with my grandfather at this time!” He snapped and the nurse recoiled. She didn't know that he could be this angry. Mrs. Clara ran into the room, "Oh my goodness, I came as soon as I heard. I'm so sorry about this.” She said. “ Where's the doctor?” Henry replied and on cue, a short middle-aged man walked in with a stethoscope on his shoulders signifying his status. “Mr. Henry, you shouldn't be in here.” He said in a challenging tone, and Henry looked at him with contempt in his eyes. How dare they tell him not to visit his only family left? “ What happened to my grandfather?” He replied instead. He was less co
Grandfather!" Henry exclaimed and rushed to his bed." I'm happy to see you awake." He refrained from hugging him tightly. " It's good to be awake, son. They tried to kill me." Grandpa said and Henry's eyes widened. How did he know? "You knew?" He inquired and the grandpa nodded. "My entire system got destroyed immediately after I finished drinking coffee this morning. I was unable to move my legs." He said. " Why didn't you call me immediately?" Henry queried. He would have arrived faster." Well, I couldn't reach my bedside table, and my speech was affected. All thanks to a maid who came to check up on me and found me shaking." He replied. Henry rubbed a hand over his face, he didn't want to imagine what could have happened if the maid didn't find him when she did. "I'm grateful that you are alive. Meet Grin." He introduced him to his grandfather and face palmed internally later when he remembered that his grandpa knew everyone in his office. "I know him." He replied as Grin gav
" I don't want a lady in my life." Henry repeated when his grandfather called him the next day to inform him of a blind date. "Well, l don't care. You need to show up tonight. You can't stand her up." He said and Henry couldn't object. " Grandfather, you should have asked if I wanted to see her. I am quite busy with work."Henry replied politely. " Can't we reschedule? I have a meeting with the Russian investors." He replied. "I know that, she will arrive after the meeting." He said and Henry groaned. He should have known that Grandpa wouldn't be one step ahead of him. Did anything ever pass him by? "What time is this date scheduled for?" Henry asked, he guessed he had no choice. "Around Eight p.m. You should be done with your meeting. Please dress well. You need to be presentable." "Yes, sir." Henry replied. They exchanged a few pleasantries before he hung up the call. The door opened and Grin walked into Henry's office and he looked up."Sorry to disturb you, sir. You have a m
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
