Nathan woke up before his alarm could ring. Last night, he had received a text from Mr. Pudolvkin who told him that he’ll be taking the first flight to Rockville. Pudolvkin’s scheduled time of arrival was 9 am that morning so Nathan had designated Mike and a couple of bodyguards to pick him up from the airport. It was a few minutes past 8 am and Nathan was standing before his large dressing mirror, getting dressed. He had asked Mike to lead Mr. Puldolvkin to Phoenix from the airport where they’ll be meeting that morning in his office at the company. Nathan was about to reach for a pair of cuff links when his phone began to ring. He sighed after picking up the phone. “Hi, Charles!” he responded and ran his hand through his hair. “You missed the first class. Are you okay?”Phoenix University had resumed academic activities that morning. The school management had fixed all the electric outlets and was using a standard generator to power the entire school. “Yeah. I have an engagement
A few minutes later, Mike returned to Alex’s office with a receipt. He positioned it ok the table before Pudolkvin. The man took the receipt and his eyes widened in surprise. “You guys paid in full?”Nathan cleared his throat loudly. “This is to prove to you that I want this project carried out ASAP Mr. Pudolvkin. The city has been in the dark for far too long.”Pudolvkin got a notification on his phone and when he checked it, it was an email from his company’s finance department, confirming a transaction in Alex Alcantara’s name for 4 power plants.He turned to Nathan. “McDonald was right. You are the best brand anyone could ever partner with.”Nathan smiled. “So when will you guys ship their plants?”“Give us 5 days. I’ll ensure the plants arrive in Rockville by tomorrow and in 4 days, my team should be done installing them.” Pudolvkin replied.

Fredrick’s butler came running into the mansion. Fredrick who was settled on the largest couch turned to him with a glare. “Why are you running like that?”The butler sighed and was about to speak when Don Fernando barged into the living room. Fredrick immediately understood the butler’s agitation and motioned to him with his head to leave. Fredrick had asked the butler not to grant any visitor access into the mansion so when Don Fernando came barging in, the butler had tried to stop him. “You told your men not to let me in?” Don Fernando screamed at Fredrick’s face.

Avery let out a mild groan and slowly opened her eyes. She shut her eyes against each other and open them immediately after her brain picked up a burning sensation. Her vision was blurred but after she rubbed her drowsy eyes with the edge of her palms, she could see her environment. She quickly sat up, her heart racing. She was confined in a bedroom with the best state of comfort. She was covered with a sheet. Avery began to panic. Where was she? She wondered and began to roll her heavy eyes around the room. When she turned left, she caught a glimpse of a portrait and when she arched a brow, she saw a familiar face. “Kelvin!” she muttered under her breath and quickly rolled down the sheet to her feet. It then dawned on her that she had encountered him at the bar and the last thing she remembered was falling into a deep snooze. She sighed in relief and checked herself. Her clothes were intact and she had nothing to fear about because Kelvin didn’t touch her. She quickly sprung ou
Nathan sighed and shook his head.Mike placed a hand on his left thigh. “You don’t have to worry about a thing Young master.”Before Nathan could turn to Mike to demand how they were going to tackle the situation, the executive assistant had already stepped out of the G-wagon. When Mike stepped out of the vehicle, Don and the other bodyguards quickly surrounded him. They began to shoo the reporters away but some manage to sneak their way around the barricade. Mike whispered into Don’s left ear and quickly moved to the entrance where Elaine was hurrying out to meet them. “We had to place a barricade yesterday. The reporters won’t stop coming.” Elaine told Mike the moment she reached him. “I’m sorry for all the inconvenience this must have brought on Alex.”Mike turned to her with a smile. “I’ve got this.”There were dozens of reporters at the gate, trying to intercept the Alcantara vehicles from moving into the company in their bid to get a response from Alex. Soon, Don was able t
By 2 pm, Nathan and Mike were done with their exercise at Phoenix. Elaine escorted them to the garage and their vehicles took off.While Larry was approaching one of the junctions, Nathan told him to pull the car to a halt once the area was clear. This means that Larry was to stop the G-wagon where people were not loitering.Nathan grabbed a bag pack from the car and then took off his mask. Inside the bag was a pair of casual clothes.They got to the junction and Larry stopped the vehicle. While he was waiting for the area to be less crowded, Nathan took off his Armani suit and changed into the casual clothes. He ran his hand several times into his hair and adjusted his sleeve.“The coast is clear,” Larry announced.Nathan turned to Mike. “We will keep in touch.”He turned to the other side, flung the door to the G-wagon and stepped out .Larry drove away.Nathan stood at the junction for about a minute until a cab pulled over. He then gave the driver the address to his rented apartme
“As you can see, I’m trying to shop.” Nathan maintained with a hand on his hips.“Can’t you see that there’s a real VIP customer here?” she retorted and then walked up to Nathan. “This is the last time I’m going to ask you to leave unless you want security to kick you out.”Pathetic, Nathan thought and swung his head from left to right.Steph was still pointing at the exit. “Your eye shopping is over young man.”“Fine,” Nathan replied and aimed for the exit. He was about to step out when the rich guy spoke.“Wait a second!” came his husky voice.Nathan turned to face him.“I can see that you love this place right?”Nathan turned away. Now this man was also going to ridicule him too? He wondered.The rich man turned to Steph. “Let him pick anything he wants. It’s on me. I can see that he has eyes for one of those jackets. He can have it.”The impressed Steph turned to Nathan. “Your broke ass has to thank Mr. Gideon for being so generous.”Gideon smiled. “Sometimes, it costs nothing to
