Mason laughed loudly because he found it amusing. He couldn't believe that was what she was thinking. He shook his head.
"To make it short, please check the documents of your new staff and find my name in them. I want to start my job right away."
"And what if I don't? Because just looking at your face or knowing that you got this job because of me makes me feel sick," she shouted.
"I'm not here because of you. You don't matter to me anymore. Understand that. Now, are you going to hire me, and complete the necessary procedures, or should I go to my department by myself?"
Anna was immediately taken aback. She couldn't help but feel irritated by his words, especially the fact that he called her dumb.
"How did he change so suddenly? Wasn't he the person who used to be deeply and madly in love with me and would do anything to make me happy?" she wondered to herself.
She knew how foolishly he had behaved towards her before. Or was he just pretending so that she wouldn't realize?
She then looked at his computer and scoffed when she saw his name. She scoffed again and signed the document.
"Congratulations..."
He didn't even wait for her to finish her statement. He left her office, and she clenched her fists, nodding her head in frustration.
"I will make you suffer so much in this company, just watch and see. You will regret coming here because of me," she said with a smirk, then returned to her work.
Mason didn't need anyone to tell him where the accounting department was. He saw a sign on the wall that read 'Accounting Department' and knew that was where he needed to go.
He entered the department and found it empty, realizing that they must have gone out for lunch.
His phone rang, and he saw that it was Andrew calling.
"I need you to come to Rmb Restaurant right away. Your grandfather is eager to meet you. I hope you know your department and everything?"
"Yes," he responded.
"Okay then," he said before ending the call and leaving the department.
He smiled as he exited the company and hailed a taxi to take him there.
When he arrived at the restaurant and stepped out of the car, his eyes widened at the sight of the wide building and the captivating interior designs that caught the attention of many people.
He remained fixated on the fancy decorations as he walked towards the entrance, it wasn't an ordinary restaurant but one which entertained the wealthy men of the city. However, he was stopped by the guards, who held batons.
"How can we assist you, sir?" one guard asked with a stern voice, while Mason smiled.
"Oh, I'm here to meet up with my grandad, please excuse me," he replied and wanted to leave but he couldn't get away because the baton was still held hard at his front. Suddenly, the guards burst into laughter.
"Do you think this is the countryside? Are you sure this guy isn't drunk or something?" The man with the baton asked his second.
"I think so," his second responded.
"Young man come on, how can your grandfather have any business in this restaurant? I'm pretty sure we don't have any elderly staff here," the guard mocked.
Mason frowned as this was getting too far. "Do you have any idea who my grandfather is?"
Before the guard could respond, both Mason and the guard lowered their heads.
"And who the hell do I see here? Lucas," a voice exclaimed. The voice sounded familiar to Mason, and as he turned around, he saw James and Lucas, who looked at him with surprise.
At first, Mason felt scared, but he quickly suppressed that feeling. He then turned to the guards and said, "Please let me in. I'm pleading with you now, because next time it might be you who will be pleading, and I won't listen to you." Mason's warning made James scoff.
"What's happening here? Are you telling me he just threatened the security guards?" James exclaimed, while Lucas laughed and playfully hit the back of Mason's head.
Mason remained composed, clenching his fists in anger as he closed his eyes for a moment and opened it.
"Mason thinks he can do whatever he wants now that he's been fired. It's like he's mentally ill ever since he caught me sleeping with his fiancée," James taunted, showing no regard for how hurtful his words were.
Mason didn't reveal his true feelings because he knew it would only lead to more harm from them, they would beat him up. He vividly remembered all the things they had done to him, and it was triggering him inside.
"Hey guards, ensure that he doesn't enter. After all, he's supposedly suffering from a mental illness, got it?" James warned.
"Yes, Boss," the guards replied in unison, bowing their heads.
Lucas scrutinized Mason from head to toe, laughing mockingly.
"What a pathetic excuse for a human being!" With that, he walked into the restaurant.
"Young man, you better leave! Otherwise, I'll beat you to a pulp!" the guard threatened to Mason.
Mason remained silent as he furiously picked up his phone from his pocket and dialed Andrew's number on his phone.
"Son, aren't you here yet? Is something wrong? It's been thirty minutes," Andrew asked concernedly.
"The guards won't allow me to enter. They said if I don't leave, I'll be beaten up!" Mason replied with anger in his voice.
He slammed his hands on the table and exclaimed, "What?" Then the call abruptly ended.
"What a prank call!" he muttered, then continued, "Did you just report us to your grandfather?"
"No, he didn't report you idiots to his father!"
They all heard a voice as they saw a figure Coming closer to them.
"Manager?" they both exclaimed, bowing their heads in submission.
"Do you two have any idea who the hell just made a call to an innocent grandfather?" the manager shouted, his face filled with anger. They froze, unable to respond.
"You're both fired!" The manager's words caught them off guard, and they were stunned by the sudden termination."You idiots! This is Andrew Willstone's son and Gregory Willstone's grandson! Do you have any idea about the kind of power he holds?" the manager yelled, his frustration evident. He then proceeded to slap both of them, leaving them in shock. They turned their gaze towards Mason, who had a slight smirk on his face."Sir... Please, we didn't know he was the one..." one of them pleaded, their voices filled with both being surprised and sad."Shut up! Don't beg me, beg the one you disrespected!" Jonah, the manager snapped in anger. The two guards couldn't help but kneel in front of him, feeling utterly embarrassed, they were scared as their faces were almost touching the floor. Their desperation to get their jobs back was shown as they pleaded, "Please, young master, we are truly sorry..." They were driven by shame, realizing that this was the only way to save their jobs.Maso
"Yes, I have loved someone before, and her name is Anna. Well, she is no longer my fiancee. She left me for another man," Mason admitted, a little bit of pain was shown in his voice.Andrew chuckled at these words. "She thought she left Stone but little did she know she left Diamond. How pathetic of her," he remarked, as he felt pity for her.Gregory smirked, his voice lowered. "Do you still have feelings for her? Like do you love her?" he asked, curious to know whether Mason still loved her.Mason couldn't help but wonder why his grandfather had raised that particular question. He realized that answering it wouldn't be easy, and he didn't want to hide the truth.Considering everything he had gone through with Anna, enduring her hurtful words, and the challenges they faced together, Mason let out a sigh. "I'm still healing, so it's hard for me to give a simple 'yes' or 'no.' What I do know is that there is a strong feeling of hatred between us," he explained, at least the last state
"It's here," he said confidently. Lucas couldn't help but wonder what was happening to him, why was he so confident and sharp?He used to be the person they bullied so effectively when he worked at the hotel. Lucas clenched his fists, wanting to slap him, but Mason's disturbing smile made him hesitate, he didn't know why but it scared him.Mason enjoyed seeing Lucas shocked by his new attitude. He was no longer scared, and he planned to keep confusing them like this.He tossed his bank card onto the table, causing Lucas to furrow his brow."How dare you, you pauper!" Lucas yelled, expecting Mason to flinch. However, Mason remained unfazed and responded, "Please call the cashier so I can make the transfer, or send me your account number so I can use my phone. I have things to do."An awkward silence hung between them. Lucas reluctantly stretched his hand and placed his card on the table. Mason swiftly took it and began typing his account number, for the money transfer."Let's see just
Mason ignored him, admiring the black car parked in front. "Get out of my face!" Mason ordered, bowing his head as he placed the key on top of the car. He and the guards then left. Mason's phone began ringing, and he picked it up. By then, he had already entered the building, looking around in case he saw him. "Hello, Mason. I hope there's no problem," he asked as Mason shook his head. "Where are you, Dad?" "I'm sorry, son, but he is busy for now. You see, he is a nice person, so I understood him and let him be. Maybe some other time, okay?" "Yes, Andrew." He ended the call with a sigh, got into the car, and inserted the key. Suddenly, the sound of the engine made him flinch. "Wow," he exclaimed as he began driving the car out of the car company. When he reached the Hins company to begin his work, he parked his car in the garage and entered the company. He entered his department and saw that everyone was already there. There were five of them—two men and three women. It appeare
“You must be a joker to think that I borrowed a car to please someone like you.”- he chuckled out loud with his keys dangling before her eyes.Anna cleaned off her eyes thinking that it was a dream and pinched her skin so tight to wake up from her dream but it wasn’t a dream at all.“Mason, You and I know that you can’t afford a three square meal not to even talk about buying a car worth millions. Please, I would advise you to wake up from that imaginary life playing right in your head and face reality. Go and return the car to the owner and stop deceiving everyone that you’ve made it loser.”- she scoffed out loud as she disdainfully eyed him.Mason felt so bad about Anna finding it very hard to believe that he had already made it but he didn’t let her words get to him. He adjusted his shirt and braced himself while he went further to lock his car.“I don’t care what you think about me or how you view me. You can believe whatever you want to believe and whoever you want to believe it
“You heard what she said, baby boy. Do you want to also beat her as well? Sometimes, I wonder how you were able to get the opportunity to work as an intern here. It doesn’t fit you in at all and to be very honest you stink.”- her words kept coming out of her mouth like venom. Mason's eyes turned so red to the extent that his veins were so tight and evident on his skin when his fist clenched together in anger. He wanted to raise his hands and give her a resounding slap but he just had to hold himself from beating her up because he wasn’t raised like that.“Have you suddenly gone deaf and dumb all of a sudden? I thought you were bragging about beating her up not quite long so what suddenly happened? You’ve lost your balls, right?’- Precious words strike like a chord at the back of his brain.“Precious, save your saliva for something worthwhile and not on someone that stinks like a pig who can’t even stand the test of time. If Mason is being placed between a pig and they ask me to choos
“Hold on for a second. Are you asking me this question because of what that good-for-nothing boy said about me? Are you?”- Louisa questioned her while turning around to look at her.“Answer the fucking question, Louisa. I want you to be honest with me right now so that I can know where I stand in your life and know if you truly value me as a friend.”- precious voice was heard shaking from the way she threw the question at her not minding that she was in the office.Louisa walked up to her, placing her hands on her chin to comfort her a little, “Please we can talk about this in the restroom where no one would hear what we are about to discuss and not the other way round besides this is our working hour.”Precious aggressively pulled off her hands away from her chin with anger in her eyes, “Do you think I care about the fact that we are in the office? From the way, I’m talking to you do you think I’m happy about the fact that everyone thinks I’m your slave and not your friend just becau
He lowered his voice at her, “Are you crazy? What the hell is wrong with you Anna? Why can’t you allow me to live my life without you being there at all?”-his eyes focused more on her eyes from the way she spoke.She laughed at him not minding the eyes of the staff who focused on them, “I won’t let you rest nor give you a breathing space as long as you continue to deceive these people around you claiming that you are rich.”He glanced at his fellow intern and co-workers who paid rapt attention to him and Anna’s discussion.“Anna, I’ve moved on with my life and I also want you to move on with yours and stop following me as a tse tse fly. Fine, you said that I’m a liar and a deceiver, right?”- he lowered his voice and asked her.“Yes! Not only that you forgot to add that you are a poor Janitor and a stinky ass hole.”- her eyes rolled in corners looking at him with disgust and hatred.“I accept everything you’ve said now can you leave me alone and get back to work or don’t you have any w
Jason pulled him back after receiving the warm embrace that was presented to him by Mason, “Are you sure you are fine? Are you sure nothing happened to you?” He touched all the body of Mason to be sure nothing happened to him. “I'm doing okay, man. It feels so good to see you, Jason. I thought you wouldn't show up right here with me.” he hugged him one more time before relaxing the tightness of his body. “No way! Mason, there is no way I won't show up right here after everything I heard on that call. I'm more than excited to see that you are safe.” A warm smile erupted on his face,“Thank you, Jason. But, how were you able to locate my father's house I know that I've never for once brought you here before.”Jason smiled back at Mason and shook his head back and forth in agreement with what he said, “Well, I and Precious traced you one time when you left the office abruptly and that's how I was able to locate your father's mansion.”“What is happening over there? Mason, who are you
“This isn’t real!” Lucas was stunned as he heard the loud sound of the gun the moment the senior officer fired it directly at Alex.“I hope nothing happened to Alex.” James leaned closer to Lucas using him as a means to find his strength as he couldn’t get over the fact that a bullet just went through Alex's back.“Pick him up!” The senior officer yelled at the other officer standing close to where Alex lay on the floor.The young officer nodded his head in affirmation and without wasting much time pulled Alex up with his back being covered with blood as if he was drowning in a pool of blood.“What should I do to him, Sir?” the officer asked, looking bothered while waiting for the commander to give him a command so he could follow his lead.“Take him to the ambulance and have him handcuffed.” He darted his face over to Lucas and James who were shivering from the way they kept on leaning on each other.“I want you both to stretch forth your hands without any fuss.” His eyes were on the
Aunty Margaret groaned in pain as she lay on Andrew’s body trying so hard to protect him from getting hurt and being attacked by his oppressors. “Dad, are you okay? Aunty Margaret, can..can..you hear me?” Mason's eyes were gradually getting heavy with the tears he had been hoarding for far too long.Andrew managed to shove himself off Maragraet’s body while she was still lying on him, “Margaret, can you hear me at all?” He managed to ask with his weak voice.“I need to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. My leg feels heavy and I…can’t..feel..myself anymore.” She poured out her words in pain with her hands still holding the tip of her leg groaning out in loud pain of discomfort.“Fuck!” Mason gradually stood up from the floor and placed Aunty Margaret’s head over his Dad’s lap.He ran over as fast as his legs could carry him the moment his eyes caught Naomi as she was trying to plot her escape amidst the officers that were being surrounded in the room. Mason jumped over the
“What!!!” The gun that Alex had on his hands dropped to the floor in agitation. “Any words or actions you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. I want you to surrender yourself and walk through the door,” the senior officer said aloud.The security officers stayed in circles as they surrounded every corner of the living room, while some of the armed men stayed outside the mansion, protecting the wall corner so no one would escape. The loud sound of their siren echoed through the estate and some of the neighborhoods were curious to know what was happening behind closed doors. “But, we didn't do anything at all, Officer. You can't just bump into us and ask that we surrender to you.”James attacked the officer without feeling any remorse for his actions. The other officer cocked out his gun still putting on a straight face, “Young man, don't force me to pull this trigger on you. You heard what he said, right? So just do it and stop wasting our precious time.”“I'm so
Everyone in the room was startled the moment they heard the old cracky voice coming from behind. Both James who was about to pull the trigger on Mason and Lucas who was charging James up to pull the trigger slowly turned their head to see where the voices were coming from. “Yes! You heard what I said and the earlier you drop, down the gun and surrender yourself to the police the better for everyone.” Aunty Margaret's hands were shaking as she placed the phone right to their faces still maintaining a long distance away from them. “Who the hell are you? And, what exactly are you doing in here?” Alex faced her a dead stare walking closer to her with every pang of anger. “That shouldn't be the question you are many to ask at this crucial hour, Alex. You have less than five minutes to surrender yourself to the police unless..”“Unless what? You guys can't do anything at all. All that you all are known for is to keep on making empty promises and threats.” James gawked at her without any
“Why are you still raising an alarm? Common! Take my life, Alex.” Mason was bold enough to give him a swift response without feeling an iota of fear in him. He was ready to take the bull by the horns and face him one-on-one without feeling scared of how it would feel once he pulls the trigger. “I can see that you've grown so many balls, Mason.”Alex placed the pistol on his temple and kept on hitting it on his temple repeatedly.“Do your worst, Alex. You can't do anything to me just pull the trigger and let's end it once and for all.” He yelled at him with his heart panting and racing so fast. “I love the way you have so much balls in you.” He smiled at him and jerked him off his shoulder. “I don't give a fuck about you Alex. Do your worst and let's end it once and for all.”“Alex, why the hell are you trying to pity this bastard? Pull the trigger and let's get ourselves out of this place once and for all.” Lucas commanded him instructing him to take the lead. “Okay, boss. I'll do
Alex patiently waited for Andrew to say a word but the young man was still bold and courageous that he didn't even bother to flinch or utter anything at all. “I can see that you've grown so big that you are no longer scared about your life anymore.” Alex out of annoyance tightened his neck so hard. “You..can’t…do.. anything..to me.” He struggled to say a word but kept on persisting as he stuttered with his words. “Is this how stubborn you are? I can see that you are just as stubborn as your son.” Lucas moved over to where Alex stayed beside Andrew still holding onto the pistol. “Poor Mason! Won't you tell your father not to be stubborn and say his final words of prayer? You can see that I've been lenient to you and your dad.” He moved his face closer to him. A roar of laughter came out of Mason's mouth after hearing the words gradually coming out of Lucas's mouth. The loud laughter triggered Lucas to stand up from his squatted position and angrily grabbed Mason's neck so tight t
“What!” Lucas and Alex chorused together with shock all over their faces after hearing the truth coming out of her mouth. Mason waved his head over to his dad with a thousand and one question going through his mind, “Dad, can you hear what this young lady is saying? Is she truly my mother?”“Mason, you don't have to listen to everything that she is saying. Naomi is a blatant liar and I'm certain the major reason why she is in here is to cause destruction.” Andrew shoved his chair trying to come closer to where his son sat. “Really? Is that what you've been feeding my son with, Andrew?” She kicked her leg on his chair with anger gracing her voice. “How dare you lie to his face, Andrew? Why didn't you tell him that I've been there for you through thick and thin? Why are you causing so much harm and pain to this young boy?”“Pain?” Andrew chuckled out in euphoria. “If anyone should be talking about pain it should be me and not your stupid ass, Andrew.” She blurted out at him. “Dad,
The room suddenly went cold as everyone threw their gaze on the young lady whom Andrew had addressed as Naomi. The poor aged man cleaned his eyes by blinking it twice since his hands had been tied to the chair while rying to be sure that he wasn't dreaming at all. “Naomi, is that you? Are you the one?” He gave her this shocking expression while still trying to fight what he had just witnessed. “Dad, do you know her? Where do you know her from?” Mason blinked his eyes trying to understand the reason why his father was shocked to see the fair young lady standing at the entrance of the door without saying anything. "The last time I checked, Dad. I haven't seen you with a lady so who is she to you." he pressed further to know more. “Will you shut up your mouth, Mason?” Alex smacked his lips with his back hands instructing him to keep shut. Mason closed his eyes in regret, waiting and hoping for the time he would be free from this chair so he would be able to show Alex the type of man
