THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW Not competent enough
Nathan described Dean's personality as too calm and thoughtful. Looking at him, Nathan had to say the man knew when to talk. Even when he was upset, he didn't dare show it. Anyone would think he was just saying his opinions randomly. But Nathan could sense anger in his voice and harshness to his words.Bernardo sat in his chair as the board members said their opinions. Of course, the majority were against Nathan taking over so suddenly. Some thought he was a stranger and Dean was the right person to take charge of. Some thought neither of the men were qualified because they just came to the company. “This is our livelihood….this company has existed for years…as the board…we want an efficient boss…someone knowledgeable and can lead us to success," an elderly man said as the entire conference room was in utter silence. His name was Mr. Richardson. According to Robert, whispering things to him. Mr. Richardson had been partners with Bernardo for years. He was wealthy and a great business

Nathan Watched Laura as she took one glass of vodka after another. She was uncontrollable. Despite the heavy hiccups, Laura was having the best time of her life.“Hey, hey…that's enough, okay…no more,” Nathan said, reaching out for the bottle, but she giggled and snatched it back from him.“Haha…hiccups…this…this is mine,” she said in between hiccups and stumbled around. She reached for his arm and used it for support as she pushed herself up.“Laura…you can drink anymore,” Nathan was not happy. She dragged him to the club and begged him to let her have a few drinks. He agreed, although he made sure she drank something light. Unfortunately, the woman was lightheaded, she got drunk and started dancing. Nathan frowned, knowing he punched a few men at the club before he brought Laura home. It was almost midnight and everyone was asleep while they were on the terrace.“I… I love it…it's so beautiful here,” Laura said with giggles and started twirling like a kid. Nathan kept following her,

“What?” Bernardo exclaimed as his eyes shifted to his wife, who just said something he knew he wouldn't approve of even if he was six feet under.“It's something simple… I want to be part of the board…if you can get an outsider to be part of this…why can't I?” Larissa said shrewdly and slowly walked around the chair Bernardo was sitting in reading some business magazine. Bernardo slid his specs right off his face and slowly rubbed his eyes as if to get a clear image. Larissa frowned as her hands slid around Bernardo's shoulders, and she leaned down to his neck.“You've never been interested in my work…you say all this is just dirty work…” Bernardo remarked with a frown and ignored what she was doing to him. Larissa pouted and caressed Bernardo's shoulders before planting a seductive kiss on his neck.“Honey, I know, but I'm tired of doing nothing… I know I said horrible things…but I want to be on board…work for the betterment of our family's legacy," she whispered and attempted to sit

Nathan and Robert reached the construction site, which was located on the outskirts of the city. The sun was at its full peak.Nathan stepped out of the car and put on his sunglasses and scanned the place.“So employees seemed to be slacking,” Robert said as soon as he joined Nathan, and both stood leaning against the car as they watched the building. Nathan was told about the magnificent building being constructed. According to Bernardo, it was the company's biggest project, which cost millions, if he wasn't mistaken.It wasn't a mall that Nathan saw. It was too gigantic to be a mall, he guessed a resort, but then again he dropped the idea.“Shall we have a look,” Nathan said, and proceeded down the path leading to what he guessed was the main entrance? Robert adjusted his specs and followed suit. Immediately, they were about to reach the entrance. Some men in work suits came out, Nathan Immediately came to a halt as he watched as the men lined up in front of him.“Good day, so you m

“Madam, this looks good, take a look,” the sales lady said, handing Laura two more ties matching the navy-blue suit she picked out. “It's great, do you have more designs… Something unique and new,” Laura suggested, and put the necktie back on the table. The sales lady smiled warmly and gestured for the other female employees to bring more.“We have more in stock…these came in yesterday and the material is rich and comfortable,” the sales lady explained as she showed Laura more tuxedos and suits. Laura nodded while touching the clothes and had to say, the fabric was good.“This is a slim fit with a blazer…it can be worn in any weather,” the woman added while showing Laura more. By now, the entire private room was filled with new, expensive tuxedos and suits.“I like this one,” Laura raised a white one, it was pure white and lively. She scanned it carefully and knew Nathan would look good in it.“Pack 14 for me…seven tuxedos and seven suits,” Laura said while taking out her phone from
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW Evening party(part two)
Nathan was uncomfortable as Bernardo introduced him to his acquaintances. He didn't need such things. He was just an ordinary employee, so why was Bernardo making it into a big deal?“He's the future, I trust him,” Bernardo said with a smile while his friends clicked champagne glasses with Nathan. Of course, Nathan was more than confident. He was not going to fail Bernardo since he trusted him so much.“I heard a lot about the young man…how he managed to help lady Laura, it's truly an honor to meet you,” one of the men said to Nathan, Bernardo introduced him as a casino man. He was into the casino business. Nathan guessed as much. Such men were shrewd when it came to business. They knew how to keep their money.“How about you pass by my office, so we can talk about a few things or two… I would like to see the potential of this young,” an elderly one said, this one was into the wine business. He was old with white hair and wrinkles. But he was still energetic. One could tell from a dis
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW His wife is special
Nathan was agitated as he watched Laura clean his hands. She was not talking. He tried to start a conversation with her, but the woman was quiet.“He deserves it if anyone dares to insult my wife…they pay heavily,” Nathan said with a frown. He hated it when people said bad things about his wife.“Is that why you acted like a barbarian in front of the executives,” Laura asked and pressed on his injuries so hard that Nathan cried out in pain.“Woman!” He muttered, feeling the little sharp sting, Laura frowned even more and took clean cotton to clean out the blood.“Bernardo's men will hold this against you…they'll try certainly to find faults, and you just gave them an excuse to crucify you,” Laura remarked more seriously. She knew how those men were. They were thirsty for power. Bernardo handing everything to Nathan was a hard blow to their dignity. It was obvious they were investigating how to dethrone him.“I don't care, just know this,” Nathan whispered and reached for Laura's chin.
THE UNWANTED SON-IN-LAW He can do the work
Nathan was not surprised by Carter's behavior. He expected as much. However, he didn't let it get to him. He was the boss hence he took matters into his own hands."Are you going to let them insult you," Robert said when Nathan was busy loading up the materials. After the men insulted him, Nathan didn't say a word but simply left and put on a new working suit."Some things are better left like that…I won't die, will I?" Nathan said breathlessly while picking up some bags of cement, Robert who was wiping sweat from his forehead frowned. The man was indeed a bull, so stubborn. From what he noticed, Nathan hated begging people. But Robert didn't see the reason why he decided to start working. "Well, those damned men are busy laughing…I'm sure this is a trap they set for you…they know you can't work alone," Robert remarked and started helping Nathan with everything. Nathan didn't reply to Robert's statement but concentrated on his work."At the end of the day…I'm the boss…aren't I?" Na
