I would have thought of letting this go, but you went overboard,” Liam said to the attendant, while at the store.
Here he told the store owner that the attendant should be sacked.Liam asked the store owner to give out books to each and every one of the students whatever they wanted and he left with the driver after telling him he was going to the company.Mr Smith asked Liam to go with him but he refused stating that he’d need to settle the student who was still waiting for him. Seeing he insisted Mr Smith agreed. Then he assigned a driver to Liam before he left.At the company the driver packed at the parking lot and Liam came down walking to the company, but as he was about to go in, he saw Peter coming out from his car.Liam immediately moved sideways and he pretended not to see Peter because he didn’t want any trouble, nor did he want to be reminded of how he was betrayed by Peter.As he took one step further, he heard his name being called from behind.“ Hi Liam, so surprising I met you here,” his thick voice boomed from the other end“What are you doing here? I doubt they is a vacancy for a cleaner at the moment, even if there is I doubt you are going to be qualified for that,” he said looking at Liam, the hatred in his eyes knew no boundaries.Liam stood quietly looking at him, without saying anything.“ I’m actually here to seal a big contract with this company,” Peter said with pride written all over his face“ I’m here for a brief presentation, I’m about merging this company with mine for a project, the project is also secured am just here to seal it,” Peter continued I really doubt you have anything doing yet, I will look up to have you work with you as my cleaner once I get this sealed, and if there is a vacancy for it, it suits you better.” Peter said mocking Liam.“ oh that’s great, you really don’t have ….. Liam was still talking when Peter shaded him and he fell on the floor.“ you poverty stricken man, you really think I would employ you even as a gatekeeper, jokes on you Liam, we have nothing to do together, you stink of poverty,” peter continue to insult Liam. And after that he walked out of the companyThe driver assigned to Liam ran down to him and helped him stand.Liam brought out his phone immediately."Mr Smith, I don't want to believe that Peter here has already secured an opportunity in the company?" Liam asked in anger over the phone.Peter's bragging still rings in his ears, getting him agitated."I'm sorry sir. He submitted some documents previously and we have already talked everything out with him. I never knew you didn't approve of him," Mr Smith said in hesitation."Cancel whatever arrangements he has made with the company. It will not go through," Liam requested, wiping his mouth as he stared at Peter who was standing some meters away."Yes sir," Mr Smith said in obedience and headed towards Peter.He walked to meet him and stood before him."I'm sorry Mr Peter, whatever arrangements the company has with you will be canceled. We are not going to push the partnership we are supposed to have with you. Whatever loss you will incur due to our withdrawal, we will compensate you fully," Mr Smith said to Peter.Peter looked at him and burst out laughing."You ain't serious, are you? Are you kidding me? Do you want to cut off the arrangement we had because I beat you, that useless man? Ain't you afraid to lose your job? Do you know who I am?" Peter ranted furiously, pacing around."I'm sorry that it happened this way, Mr Peter.""Shut up you good for nothing," Peter yelled at Mr Smith, shutting him up."Tell me you are kidding and take back your words or else I will make sure you pay dearly for it," Peter threatened, pointing at Mr Smith."I'm not kidding Mr Peter. It has been agreed that we end whatever arrangements we have made with you, that's why I came to let you know about it," Mr. Smith replied, unbothered by Peter's threat."You must be out of your mind. You cannot humiliate me like this. Do you know how many people I have told about it already? I have already invited people to come celebrate with me at a party I organized tonight and you are saying this to me?" Peter fumed, feeling frustrated.He swiped his head backward and paced about before pointing at Mr. Smith."I will make sure you get arrested after meeting your CEO. Take me to his office. I should talk with him in person," Peter requested."I'm not sure the CEO will want to meet with you, Mr Peter. He was the one who sent me," Mr Smith said.Peter laughed out loud and pushed him out of the way. He started heading towards the other side of the company.He walked into the company's premises and stopped at the receptionist's desk."I want to speak with the CEO, tell him Mr Peter is here to see him," Peter said to the receptionist."Did you make any arrangements for a meeting with him today? Pardon my poor manners, I'm supposed to check his schedule," The receptionist said and flipped through a file.After a while, she stopped and looked up at Peter."I'm sorry Mr Peter. You are not supposed to meet the CEO today. He is very busy at the moment and cannot meet whosoever that isn't in his schedule," The receptionist said, trying to sound as polite as she could."Are you nuts?" Peter yelled and slammed his fist on the desk, startling the receptionist."Don't look up at his schedule. Call him, I want to talk with him. It's urgent.""I'm sorry sir. That's not a part of my job. I'm strictly following the rules," The receptionist replied after putting herself together."I can see that all of you in this company are crazy. I will make sure to get all of you fired," Peter burst out in anger."Don't tell me like I'm your puppy Mr Peter, I have had enough. I have tried to sound as polite as I can but you are pushing me to act otherwise. I want you to leave before I call the security.""You cannot come to someone else's company and act like a mannerless individual. Did you just get released from the correctional center? Don't you understand English? Should I use Spanish to explain that you cannot see the CEO?" The receptionist barked, losing it."Are you talking to_""Leave right now!" The receptionist yelled at the top of her voice, taking Peter by surprise."Did you just yell at_""Security, there is a madman in front of my desk, I want him thrown out right now," The receptionist yelled over the telephone and dropped it.Two security guards in uniform showed up. They walked towards Peter and grabbed him."Out, throw him and his useless papers out of here. Never allow him to come near this company premises ever again," The receptionist gave out orders and flung Peter's papers at him.One of the security men picked up the paper that had been scattered all over and arranged it well. He gave them to Peter and asked him to leave but Peter tried acting stubbornly.They grabbed him and started carrying him out. Peter passed Liam on the way and felt very embarrassed, and he quickly rushed to Liam, then punched him in his face.Liam's driver intervened and pushed him off. He fell to the ground and immediately stood up on his feet.He wanted to attack Liam's driver but held himself back. He wasn't going to spoil his reputation by stooping so low. He would overlook it now but not later, he decided to deal with Liam and his driver."I will be back for you, you son of a bitch. You now have a garbage who is fighting for you? I will make sure that both of you beg on your knees, you will leak my feet to be spared Liam, I promise you that," Peter said and walked off towards the company.“Be sure to do that after bagging another contract,” Liam mocked."It is not over. I will deal with all of you," Peter promised as the security guards threw him out.He hit his butt on the hard floor and groaned in pain."I will be back. Y'all watch out," he promised and kicked the air in frustration."Everything with Mr Peter has been settled. I'm sorry it was chaotic dealing with him," Mr Smith apologized to Liam."I don't want your apology. I know it would happen this way," Liam said trying to force a smile but he was burning with rage.He wished he was able to deal with Peter this way sooner, then he wouldn't have gone through the hell he saw in the hands of him and his mother."Take me to any top restaurant around. I'm famished," Liam said to his driver."Yes sir," The driver replied and started heading towards the car."Should I join you," Mr Smith asked."Of course," Liam replied.He started heading to the car to meet his driver. Mr Smith ran after him.They got in and his driver drove out of the company's premises."I found five top restaurants around on Google Maps. Which will you love to go," Mr Smith asked, showing Liam the restaurants he found on the map."The first one," Liam replied and handed the tablet back to Mr Smith."Let's head a bit towards town," Mr Smith said
"Throw this trash of a human out!" A loud voice yelled pointing at a shabbily dressed figure in front of me."Sir, you can't do this to me, I need this job." The figure pleaded while groveling at the foot of the man."You filthy trash don't touch me!" The man yelled moving backward as though the man was a plague."Throw him out!" The man yelled as the door of the office opened and two blurry men walked in."Yes sir." The men nodded and picked up the figure before walking out of the office.Liam landed abruptly, hitting his head hard on the hard floor as he groaned painfully before he touched the back which was already injured due to the impact.Liam sighed as he stood up slowly looking at the huge building in his front. This was his fifth interview in just two days and yet he was rejected and mercilessly thrown out by the interviewers.He just couldn't understand what the hell was happening. His efforts seemed to be in vain. No matter what he did, he was looked down on.Sighing, Liam
Liam furrowed his brows as Peter walked into the living room. He rolled his eyes at Liam and he walked directly to Alicia. Took her arm and he gave her a peck on it.“Good day Mother,” He said.Alicia smiled and she patted his back, acknowledging his greetings.Liam was confused as he watched all of this, Peter was a very close friend of his, he was even the one who advised and encouraged him to endure everything his wife did to him. How come Peter was this close to his mother-in-law? If he could recall vividly, Peter always refused to visit him at home saying he didn't want to be discovered by his mother-in-law and then making things difficult for him.“What are you…”“Tsk Tsk Tsk… Oh, Liam, are you just dumb or naive?” He said and Liam stared at him confusedly,He wanted to say something, but it was as if his mouth was gagged, his brain couldn't process anything at the moment, “What do you mean?” Liam couldn't help but ask. But his mind told him that this was nothing less than bet
Liam was confused as he stared at the old man who was staring at him keenly. Observing his features and clothing.He frowned and he moved backward, not wanting to associate himself with someone who might have mistaken his identity. It would be wrong if he did something like this and got caught afterward.“I’m sorry sir, but I think you're mistaken, I'm not your grand master,” Liam said and he tried to leave, but the old man moved sideways, blocking his path.Liam stared at him, wondering if this was also his wife and mother-in-law’s doing inorder to embarrass him further.“C’mon lad, I’m not mistaken. You’re the young master,” The old man said with a large smile on his face.“Erm..”“We’ve been looking for you for years now, I didn’t expect to see you here. I almost ran over you, thankfully I saw you just in time,” The old man explained. Liam could only open his mouth in bewilderness, he was extremely shocked and confused, looking at the only man, he could tell how sincere he was, thi
Liam’s eyes widened in shock as he recognized the person’s voice. He stood frozen, unable to move or speak. His mind raced, trying to make sense of what he heard. It couldn't be real, it had to be a mistake. But as he turned back and looked into the person's eyes, he knew it was no mistake. The person in front of him was real, and the presence was like a punch to the gut. His heart pounded in his chest, his palms grew sweaty. He felt like he was falling, spiraling out of control.“I guess you’ve lost your way, because you wouldn’t be given a job here as a cleaner, talk more of a waiter,” The voice said again, it was no other than his ex wife, Ella.Liam heaved a heavy sigh and turned away from the woman who had caused him such pain. He took a few steps, but his feet felt heavy, weighted down by all the emotions churning inside him. He couldn't bring himself to leave, no matter how hard he tried. He kept looking back over his shoulder, unable to resist pulling her into his arms, b
In just about fifteen minutes or so if he calculated right, Liam heard hurried footsteps and a familiar figure walking into the hotel.The figure was Mr Smith as she walked up to Liam, panting heavily.“Young master,” He smiled at Liam who kept a steady reaction as he didn’t know what to say.The guests and staff who saw how Mr Smith was reacting towards Liam wondered what was going on. He was the same man a young lady belittled a while ago. How come he was receiving such attention from a man who drove in with convoys? They didn’t know he was a big shot who wasn’t aware of it himself.“Young master, please come with me,” Mr Smith said and he immediately led the way.As the walked out, he saw a sleek black car idling in front of the hotel. The moment he got close to it, the door was opened and he went into it. He leaned back in the seat and he let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.“Do you need anything? I came as fast as I could,” Mr Smith said, furrowing his already squeezed
Liam had already left the hotel room. He was walking around the area looking for where to board a cab so he could go to the company like he agreed on last night, but the place was only flagged with luxurious cars all around.As he walked further, he was surprised to see some group of students crying in front of a store.Liam slowed his steps as he approached the bookstore, his curiosity increased by the sight of the crying students. They were huddled together, their faces wet with tears, their voices hushed. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened, what could have caused such distress. He hesitated, unsure if it was appropriate to intrude on their moment of grief. But something told him to move closer, to try to offer comfort if he could.“Hey kids, what’s wrong?” Liam asked but their cries only increased.“We were chased out of school because we didn’t have any textbooks,” The older one among them said and Liam sighed.Liam felt an overwhelming urge to help the students. He wa
The butler of Liam’s Grandpa Mr Smith was pacing around in his room, with a phone in his ear. He’d actually told him about Liam’s decision about returning home.Grandpa Kendrid was so happy, he didn’t believe after years of looking for his grandson that he could finally find him. At first he thought it was his wishful thinking, but now it has become a reality.“Really? I don’t believe you,” His voice boomed from the other end.“I’m not joking Grandmaster, he’d be returning sooner that expected,” Mr Smith said and Grandpa Kendrid Joy knew no boundaries.“Did he tell you when he’d be returning?” He asked.“Not yet Sir, he’s still very much busy for now, but I’m working towards bringing him home as soon as possible, so rest assured,” Mr Smith replied and he sighed.“Thank goodness he’d be back, at least I won’t bother about my legacy going down the drain without an heir.” Grandpa Kendrid said.“I’ll make him come back,”“I hope you’ve given him everything he’d need for the time being? I
