Chapter 134Nathan had been working all through the day. He didn’t even realize that it was past lunch break. He was bent on sorting the other two pending projects so that the employees can start working on them from tomorrow. He was alerted by a soft knock on his door. “Come in!” he responded and continued drafting the project outlines. Rissa walked into the office and stood before Nathan for more than twenty seconds but he didn’t lift his head. She cleared her throat loudly. Nathan finally laid his pen to rest and threw his back against the chair. “The board meeting is starting in five minutes sir.”Nathan approved with a nod. “I’ll meet you outside. Give me a minute.” He said and went for his pen. Rissa nodded and left. Nathan stared at his wristwatch. It was five minutes to 2 pm. He sighed and quickly went through the outlines he had drafted. He stood up, grabbed his phone, and dashed out to meet Rissa who was waiting by the door. They traced their way to the main building
Chapter 135 “For how long had she been waiting in my office?”Nathan demanded immediately after he stepped out of the conference room with Rissa. “She arrived the moment I went back to the office after the meeting so Elaine felt it was best I notify you because you were expecting her.” “That’s true!” Nathan said. Nathan traced his way to the surveillance unit and went to his office. Charlotte was already seated on the chair opposite his desk while the two gentlemen she came with were occupying the sofa. Nathan walked up to his seat with a smile. He sat and waved at Charlotte. She presented the gentlemen to him. “This is Cameron and Jacob. My dad felt it was best we come together. Cameron is our company’s lawyer while Jacob is my father’s assistant. The men greeted Nathan. “Pleased to meet you both,” Nathan told them. He turned to Charlotte. “What can I get you? Water, maybe a beverage?” He then turned to Cameron and Jacob. “And you too gentlemen. What can I get you?”“I’m good
Nathan arrived home around 5 pm. He strode to his bedroom and fell on his face. He was exhausted and was about to head to the bathroom when he received a text message. He sat up and pulled out his phone from his pocket. It was a text from his social director at school.The text read ‘Reunion party at 7 pm tomorrow. See you all there.’Nathan sighed. His coursemates were planning a reunion party the next day. He wanted to attend because he felt it will be a great opportunity to catch up with people like charles, Avery, and Charlotte except for Henry who was on vacation.Nathan’s phone began to ring and when he checked the phone screen, he realized that it was Charles calling. He concluded that Charles had probably received the notification too.“Wassup buddy. Party loading tomorrow night right?” Nathan said immediately after he picked up the call.“Yea. I just got a notification but it’s quite unfortunate that I won’t be attending the reunion.” Charles said.“Shit!”“I had to leave the
At exactly 7 pm, Nathan was already dressed in a black Italian suit. He wore one of the designer leather shoes Mike delivered to him. In his left hand was a red bow tie and in his right hand was a red neck tie. After checking out both options for about five minutes, he finally decided to use the necktie. The party was slated for 7 pm and Nathan was certain that his coursemates were loitering in the hall at the moment. The main event will kick off about thirty minutes later so he decided to take his time and look good. He grabbed the ice watch he got from the school mall and slid it around his left wrist. Nathan left his apartment around 7:30 pm for the reunion party. Larry had been waiting for him outside his rented apartment with the Rolls Royce. The organizing committee of the reunion party picked the DREAMWORLD hall and event center. The venue was just a few meters away from Nathan’s rented apartment. The famous hall is referred to as a first-class hall judging by the class of
While the students were still placing their orders, the host who was also a student traced his way to the stage and mounted the podium.“It’s a great privilege to have you all here and I’ll suggest we begin immediately. He said and stepped down from the stage, still holding unto the microphone.“Let’s all seat across the round tables please!”There were large tables arraigned in the hall. There were about five round tables and each table could accommodate seven to ten persons.Eddie, the host was the only one who was not seated except for the waitresses and bartenders.“I’ll be going around with the microphone,” Eddie said. “So this is what will happen. We’ll start by talking about what we’ve been up to since the break began. This is to enable us to know a few things about each other and maybe encourage others.”He moved closer to Kelvin with a bright smile. “I’ll begin with you.” He passed the microphone to him.“Can you please tell us what you’ve been up to lately?”Kelvin snatched
Chapter 139Avery turned to Nathan maintaining a sad expression. “My dad is forcing me to manage his company. He’s obsessed with me being heir so he wants me to use the summer break and learn about business management.” She heaved a frustrated sigh. “You need time I guess,” Nathan said with his eyes fixated on her well-sculptured eyebrows. She swung her head from left to right. “Not time Nathan. The thing is, I’m not even interested in the whole business thing.”Nathan sighed. “What do you want?”Avery turned to him and the sad expression instantly vanished. It was the first time in a long while someone wanted to know what she wanted. “I want my brand.”Nathan darted his gaze to her blue eyes. “I want to develop a company that is into the production of skin products and perfumes. Beauty products, you know?” she said with a smile. She had sparks in her eyes and Nathan could tell that she was passionate about her dream brand. “Have you worked on it yet?” Nathan demanded. “Well,
Nathan stepped out of the Rolls Royce after heaving a deep sigh. It was past 9 am and he was feeling a bit disappointed even though it was the first time he was turning up late since he became a manager at Phoenix.Last night, he had a bit of a hangover from the party and Larry had to drop him at his mansion. Driving from his mansion to Phoenix was a long journey that took more than an hour. He held onto his briefcase and began striding toward the surveillance unit. Flashes of the event that had occurred at the reunion began to waver in his mind. He smiled when he recollected Kelvin’s face after the hall manager declared his payment successful when his card was inserted into the machine. Kelvin had to storm out of the hall and Nathan knew he must be wondering how much lottery money he’s got left. As for Avery, Nathan had to convince her that it was one of Mike’s credit cards. She still felt that debiting six million was much but he managed to convince her not to worry about a thi
Chapter 141Flashback!“Are you sure about this?” Dory demanded. Rissa gave repeated nods. “Yes ma’am. I even went through the contract papers. It’s worth 500 million dollars.” She reported. “I heard him with Elaine speaking about it. The company wanted solar systems and some security cameras to be supplied.”Rissa was standing right before Dory in her office and was giving her an update about the proposal Charlotte’s team came up with. Dory clenched her jaw. “Such a huge amount of money was invested and that bastard didn’t feel like telling me about it?” She gave the table a tight slap. Rissa said nothing. “You can leave. Keep me posted,” Dory told Rissa and abruptly stood up. Rissa nodded obediently and left. Dory was pained by the fact that Nathan didn’t involve her in his business dealings. She had told him several times that he was on probation hinting that he was answerable to her but now, he just ditched her and went ahead to sign a contract. She looked at the closed do
