Frederick Tyson was seated in the living room watching the business news at 8 pm when Kelvin walked in with both his hands plunged inside his pocket. “Good afternoon, Dad.” He greeted and was about to take the staircase leading to his wing when his father cleared his throat loudly. “How was the meeting?”Kelvin turned around with a sigh. He sat next to his father. Fredrick grabbed the remote and lowered the volume. “Alex Alcantara got a backslash from the central committee at the meeting,” Kelvin told his father. The statement provoked a smile on Fredrick’s face. He sat up. “Really?”Kelvin smiled. “A supervision was slated for recess and as the club’s president, he was expected to go with the committee and check out the orphanage during the recess but Alex got into his car and left.”Fredrick hummed. “And what excuse did the brat give? I know he was going to come up with a silly excuse.”“Well, he said he had something to take care of during the recess and he wasn’t aware that t
Nathan continued. “Yes. This is Alex Alcantara. I wasn’t supposed to contact you directly but you leave me no choice.”There were dozens of thoughts fluttering in the manager’s mind. As far as he was concerned, Alex Alcantara had no reason to call him therefore a call from the Alcantara heir could mean that something was off. The manager began to speak and Nathan could sense the way his voice was quivering. “Good morning sir. How may I help you sir?” he managed to ask. “Your company signed a deal with Phoenix a few days ago. You guys were supposed to deliver about 18 Miratel security cameras to the surveillance unit. Half the funds were transferred to your company’s account but you guys decided to back out yesterday and today was supposed to be delivery day.” Nathan explained. The manager was rendered speechless and Nathan didn’t wait for him to speak before he continued. “Your representative said he was going to make a refund. He clearly stated that the deal was called off. Do y
Nathan was about to drop his pen when Elaine came barging into his office. With a hand on her chest, she turned to stare at the open door and gave an apologetic look. “I’m very sorry sir. I forgot to knock. I was way excited.”Nathan cleared his throat and threw his back against his seat. Elaine who had been driven by panic the whole day was now smiling like a star.She moved to his desk. “The gadgets are here. From YALISCO.” She revealed with a smile. “As I’m speaking to you right now, they are in the waiting room and are offloading the cameras.”Nathan began to fondle the tip of his pen. One phone call to Charleston as Alex Alcantara had succeeded in putting the manager in place.Elaine arched a brow. “Did you speak to Dory because their sudden change of heart wasn’t expected? The manager’s assistant from YALISCO is at my station. He’s insisting to have a word with you before he leaves.” She lowered the pitch of her voice. “He wants to apologize to you.”Nathan gave a half smile. “H
Nathan quickly placed a call to Mike.“Deal secured!” he announced after Mike responded to the call.He heard Mike laughing over the phone and Nathan couldn’t be more proud.“Well done, Young master,” Mike said.“Thanks. Now, let’s move to the next phase.” Nathan replied.“Of course.”“I need you to pass a message in person to Dory.” Nathan began. “I’m not sure if I can trust her. I spoke to her a while ago but I have a strong conviction that she’ll try to sabotage me again.”“What do you want me to do?”*****Dory was aggressively plunging some items into her handbag when she heard a knock on her door. She sighed in frustration.She was about to leave the office because Charleston and Nathan had ended up ruining her mood so she felt it was best to go home.“Come in!” she said and dropped on her chair. She lifted her left leg and was about to place it on her right leg when Mike walked in.Her eyes widened in shock and she abruptly stood up. It was the second time in a week Mike was dr
Mike traced his way to Nathan's apartment and when he got to the living room, Nathan was sprawled on the carpet, watching a movie. Before Mike arrived, Nathan had freshened up and had denied his chef's offer to prepare lunch because he was too pissed. Mike settled on the twin couch opposite Nathan. Nathan picked up the remote and turned off the television. He turned to Mike with a sigh. “You should have seen the way those guys messed up my apartment.”“Why the hell is Kelvin on your tail anyway? I understand if he is up against you as Alex but as Nathan, I don’t just get it.” Mike said and shook his head.“Avery Jacobs whom he is so into turned down their proposed marriage alliance. Avery and I are friends in school and anytime Kelvin sees us together, he feels like going insane.” Nathan replied.Mike clenched his jaw. “I see.”Nathan continued. “So during our reunion party, he tried to harass her, and I ended up punching him in the face.”Mike shook his head. “I see more reasons wh
Kelvin walked into the living room and saw his father seated on the largest couch. It was evident that Fredrick had been waiting for his son’s arrival.“Where have you been?”Kelvin sat right next to his father. “I needed to take care of something.”“Whatever that was, I don’t care. I want you to know that it's time. It's time to take action against Alex Alcantara.” Fredrick declared.Kelvin had a bright smile. He knew his father had been working hard towards ensuring that they hit their target and now, he could guess that the long-term plan had finally materialized.“Tell me all about it, Dad,”Fredrick gave an impish grin and reclined on the couch. “There are going to be a lot of changes at the Rockville festival tomorrow.”Kelvin hummed and blinked at his father. “The kind of change we expect I guess.”Fredrick broke into a dry laugh. “I’ve been working with Don Fernando and other guys and right now, we are ready to launch our plan.”Kelvin was staring at his father with a proud lo
The staff in the mall began to troop toward Nathan in their bid to offer the Alcantara heir the best service.A petite rushed toward him wheeling the shopping cart while other staff stood before him with bright smiles.“You can give me the list of the items you need Mr. Alcantara.” One of the staff offered to shop for Nathan.“I’ll lead you to the manager’s office. Once the items are ready, I will deliver them to you.” Another staff stepped outNathan was stunned and for a moment he was completely rendered speechless. Is that what elites face in the mall? He wondered, rolling his eyes around the crowd of staff forming around him. He was grateful at that point that he came to the mall as Alex Alcantara else he might never have gotten the chance to experience such preferential treatment.“You all should carry on with your work and pretend that I’m here. I’ll help myself.” Nathan told them.
“Is everything set?” Dory asked her assistant who was hurrying after her.They got into the elevator.She had left the event hall a few minutes ago to check on the guys at the entrance. She had ensured the team she arranged to welcome Alex Alcnatara was at their post at the reception.“I want everything to be perfect.” Dory maintained and wiped the sweat that had teamed up on her forehead with the edge of her left palm.They stepped out of the elevator after they reached the 5th floor. Dory hurried out while her assistant was hurrying after her, trying to catch up with her pace. “I think all the distinguished guests have arrived. The host is also on stage.”“Good,” Dory replied and barged into her office. “Go back to the hall and ensure everything goes according to plan. I will change and show up shortly.”The assistant left and Dory slammed her door. Shegrabbed her large bag
