“They are here sir.” One of the guards announced.William heaved a deep sigh and turned to his brother. “We’ve got this. He then turned to the guard who brought the news. “Bring the in.”It was the day of the bid.The bid was scheduled for that morning, the next day after Daniel showed up at the boxing house. That night, Will got a text that some investors were ready so they’ll be dropping by at the boxing house the next day by 10 am where the bid was scheduled to take place. William immediately called his brother to inform him about the development.At 9: 45 am, The Tysons were already seated.The door to the boxing house was opened by the guards. Two men, dressed in Italian suits walked in, they stopped at the reception where the Tysons were.They were the investors. They exchanged a few pleasantries with Fredrick and occupied the twin couch at the reception. Will didn’t utter a word to them. They were the men who wanted to take the gym away from him after allFredrick was about to
CHAPTER 119Immediately after they stepped out, Ben and the investors shook hands, bearing congratulatory smiles.“We need to get out of here.” Ben said and motioned to them to hop into the vehicle. They got into the car they came with. Ben joined them in the vehicle and the driver sped off.Meanwhile, Nathan and Mike had been waiting for the group’s arrival. They had agreed to meet at a private lounge. About ten minutes after Ben and the investors left the bidding venue, they arrived the meeting point. The men alighted from the vehicle and hurried into the private lounge.Nathan was seated right next to Mike. He was wearing one of his luxurious suits and had covered his nose down to his jaw with a mask. At this moment, he was Alex Alcantara.Mike had informed the investor’s that the entire bid was sponsored by Alcantaras. He never mentioned that they’ll be meeting the Alcantara heir. Seeing Alex, seated right beside Mike was already giving them goose bumps.Ben pretended to be ignora
CHAPTER 120 Nathan watched Avery with delight as she moved from one feature in his room to the other. She complemented his marble table and was swooned by his well-constructed closet. By the time she turned around to face him, Nathan was presenting a bottle of water to her.She smiled and moved to the twin couch. She sat next to him. She then stared at the water bottle and fell back on the chair. “Get me something strong. Perhaps a glass of whisky or beer.”Nathan chuckled and then turned to Avery. She was game and was staring at him without blinking. “Should I request for scotch, perhaps?”Dozens of questions began to waver in Nathans mind. As far as he was concerned, Avery does not seem like the type of girl that drinks heavily or maybe he wasn’t sure.”“Got you!” Avery broke into a dry laugh and gave Nathan a friendly smack on the back.Nathan exhaled. “You really got me there. I was beginning to have misconceptions you know?”She snatched the bottle and took off the cap. “You sho
CHAPTER 121Nathan and his friends got to their favorite cafeteria and sat. There were a few students in the cafeteria as most of them were focused on packing their stuff since the semester has ended. The boys occupied the first booth and kept staring at Nathan intensely.“How did it happen?” Henry was asking about the kiss.“Was it when she gave you a ride home the other day?” Charles whisper yelled.Nathan positioned his hands on the table. “We had a mutual agreement. We are not talking about this and that’s it.”Henry couldn’t stop chuckling while Henry agreed with a sigh.“Why don’t we talk about other things?” Nathan suggested. “Like maybe our plans for the summer break.”“I’ll go first.” Henry said and cleared his throat loudly. “My parents wanted a family vacation so they feel this summer break is the ideal time. I’ll be on vocation throughout the break I guess..”“Sounds cool” Nathan replied with a nod.“You guy picked a location yet?” Charles asked Henry.“My mom wants Hawaii
“What the fuck?” Nathan gasped as more smoke took charge of his nostrils. He ended up puffing it out through his mouth as he kept trying to make sense of the situation before him. It then dawned on Nathan that the odd group he had just stumbled upon was dressed in corporate outfits. Some of them were wearing the same uniform as the receptionist he had just met.With the file in his left hand, Nathan slowly released the doorknob and went on clearing more fog with his right hand and soon, his vision was as clear as ever.The receptionist!It was at that point that he realized she had tricked him. “Who the hell are you?” Someone barked at Nathan. He began taking steps inside the room and soon, the wares began to manifest before his eyes. There was a carton of beer underneath the table harboring a dozen beer bottles. While some groups were drinking, others were smoking and some people were at a corner playing board games. There were about fifteen people in the room.The man who spoke
Chapter 123With Sammy on the floor knocked out, the employees began to exchange glances. Sammy had never lost a fight. No one in that company would even want to engage in combat with him. Nathan stared at Sammy who was lying on the floor and turned to them. “Leave this room this minute.” Without asking any questions, they began to exit the room mumbling incoherent words. Nathan turned toward the door just when a lady was hurrying to leave. “Excuse me!” He called out to her. She turned toward him with trembling lips. If he could knock out the fearless and powerful Sammy with little effort, she concluded that he could knock her out too. “Where’s the chief Secretary’s office?” Nathan demanded. She stretched out a shaky hand toward the door. “It’s on the fourth floor. There’s an inscription on the wall.” She replied with a rippling voice and quickly hurried out.Nathan shook his head. Dory’s office wasn’t on the fifth floor. The receptionist on the first floor had tricked him. He
Chapter 124Nathan realized that Dory was making a mockery of him with her resounding laughter. She stood up and folded her arms across her chest. She looked down at Nathan and arched a brow. “You want to work as the surveillance manager? Are you crazy?”He sighed and lifted his head. “Alex Alcantara said I could work anywhere I wanted. He said I’m at liberty to pick whichever station I desire.” Dory was pissed. “So you’re telling me that you want to work wherever you want because you’ve got some backing huh?”“I’m just saying that…“Shut the fuck up, you pathological liar.” Dory barked at Nathan. She pointed at the door. “I guess I’m done being nice to you now get the hell out of my office.”Nathan had a dropped jaw. “You are dumb or what? Get out of here!” She yelled at his face and gave the table a tight slap. Nathan didn’t move an inch and Dory couldn’t be more irked. “Well, since I tried to be civilized and you’re not cooperating, we might as well go the uncivilized way.”She
Chapter 125Larry noticed the mischievous smile Nathan was bearing and he realized that the young man was up to something. Nathan pulled out his official phone and cleared his throat loudly. Larry folded his arms across his chest, watching Nathan in action.Nathan then dialed Dory’s phone number using the official phone that qualifies him as Alex Alcantara.“Hello, sir!” Dory responded immediately after she picked up the call. Nathan heard her voice quaking and he could tell that she might be terrified.“I just finished speaking to Nathan Smith, the candidate I sent to you.” He went straight to the point.He heard Dory gasp over the phone and his suspicions were confirmed. She was indeed terrified.“What was the meaning of that?” Nathan fired at Dory, acting like he was pissed.“I’m very sorry sir. I apologize for the incident that occurred this morning.” She said in a solemn tone that made Nathan wonder if she was actually the woman who had him thrown out a while ago.“Yoo can’t apol
