Mike appeared in the scene and stretched his hand toward Nathan. “It’s good to see you, Young Master.”Nathan shook him with a grin.Mike withdrew his hands and playfully slapped his thighs. “Sorry, I didn’t come with a bouquet.”They all broke out laughing.Nathan took the huge bouquet from Elaine and faced the staff. “I would have loved to collect everything at once but looks like my hands are full.” He turned to a group of guards standing behind him. “Help me get my flowers, please.”The guards swung into action.“Everyone, come into the reception with me. I’ve got a small briefing.” Nathan announced.Mike led him inside while the rest followed, chatting happily.A few minutes later, Nathan was standing beside the counter while the entire staff was at a corner by the door. Elaine was standing beside Mike while Jackson towered above Nathan.Nathan cleared his throat loudly. “Thank you once again for the flowers.” He began. “It gladdens my heart that you guys are appreciative of the
Suddenly, Kelvin stood up and began marching toward their table. The boys exchanged glances. Nathan leaned toward Charles and whispered.“Your guy is up. Just as expected.”They both cleared their throats loudly and looked in the direction of Kelvin. While Nathan was prepared not to entertain any verbal exchange with him, Charles was bent on retaliation.There was something about Kelvin’s demeanor Nathan noticed. His face bore a solemn expression, unlike its usual hard nature. Rather than charging toward them, he was simply walking up to them.When Kelvin made it to the table, he pulled the chair directly opposite them and sank on it. He sighed and mumbled a soft “Hi!”Nathan swallowed and gave a response. Charles said nothing. He assumed that Kelvin was playing one of his tricks on them.“Can I crash over here? It’s a bit lonely there.” He requested and fell back on the chair after turning to stare at the spot he earlier occupied.”Charles began to loosen up.When Nathan studied Kelv
Derrick stopped the moment he approached the entrance. From his spot, he could see Nathan sitting opposite Avery. He watched Nathan join his palms before Avery and he could tell that he was looking for some sort of forgiveness. Derrick smirked and then clenched his jaw. The last thing he would do was apologize to any girl. Meanwhile, he had just left Tyson’s mansion and had decided to spend some time in a private longue when he noticed the duo. Back at their table, Avery was still mad at Nathan and was barely paying attention to his apology. As far as she was concerned, his reasons weren’t solid enough. He was the brand ambassador of her male skin care products and she was looking forward to his arrival at the event not just as her boyfriend but as Alex. While Nathan was still apologizing to her, Derrick decided to move closer and eavesdrop because his ears were begging to hear. Avery snatched her phone from the table. “I think I should leave and maybe you’d stop making excuses,
When the limo pulled at the garage of the Alcantara Estate, Nathan was already at a corner, waiting for Martin and Charles to step out. Immediately after both men stepped out of the car, a bodyguard charged toward Martin to get a hold of his backpack. Nathan walked up to Martin and immersed him in a side hug. “Welcome to Rockville City, bro.”Martin smiled and gave Nathan a friendly smack on the back. “It’s good to see you.”Nathan turned around and motioned to Martin to follow him into the house. “Come with me. I need to show you around the house.”“And after that, we’ll hit the city. Charles was arguing that the clubs here are the best on the continent. I disagree because I guess you guys haven’t seen the best of Rome yet.” Martin said while following Nathan into the house. Charles chuckled. “We’ll see about that.” *****“Are you guys set?” Martin demanded after reaching the living room. He was casually dressed. The trio had agreed to hit the streets by 8 pm and Martin who was
“I’ll be fine.” Nathan protested when Jackson tried to carry him out of the car. Right after his injury was spotted, the boys began to panic. Nathan had informed them that it was a scratch and there was nothing to worry about even though he was feeling quite dizzy. Jackson tore off his sleeve and used it to stop the bleeding and then raced the car down to the Estate. When Nathan stepped out of the car holding onto his arm, he staggered and was quickly assisted by Jackson. “We should take him to the private clinic. The doctor should be there.” Said Charles, pointing at the left wing of the estate. Don and his crew who were able to defeat the attackers arrived at the mansion and were soon hovering over the wounded Nathan. They were all worried. With Jackson’s assistance, Nathan made his way to the estate clinic. They met Felix, a nurse who was always on standby. “Where’s Doc?” Jackson yelled. “He stepped into town to get something. I just called him. He’ll be here in a minute.
“Where are you?” Charles demanded after stepping out of his car. After the hint he got from Kelvin over the phone, he didn’t waste any moment driving down there. “I’m inside the café. Second booth by the right.” Kelvin responded over the phone. Charles made his way inside and headed straight to the place Kelvin had described. When he got there, he saw Kelvin facing the glass window. There was a coffee mug in front of him and he was stirring the content in circles. Charles settled opposite him and dropped his phone and car key on the table. “This better not be a prank, Kelvin. Tell me what you have on Nathan.” Kelvin sighed. “I wasn’t sure you were going to show up but I’m glad you did.” “Well if it involves Nathan, then you know I’ll show up anytime so what do you have for me?” Charles said. Kelvin tossed his mug to the side and sat up. “There’s a plan to murder Nathan tonight.” Charles raised an eyebrow. Kelvin sighed and continued. “Look, I’m not making this up. Someon
Nathan was about to get into the elevator when Annabel squeezed herself inside. He tucked his hands inside his pockets and moved away from her. “So dingbat.” Annabel went on. “You didn’t give me a response earlier because you didn’t want those people to learn about your misfortune right? Now that’s it just the both of us, maybe you can start talking.”“I don’t have time for this,” Nathan said. The elevator doors were spread open and Nathan was the first to step out. Annabel went after him, trying to provoke him more. “Wait up, looser. This company is not for broke people.” Suddenly, Mrs. Wilson appeared clinging to some files.“Thank Goodness you are here, Mrs. Wilson. I just bumped into this rift raft downstairs. Can you ensure he doesn’t get a job here? He’s so useless.” Annabel said. The files Mrs. Wilson was clasping almost slipped through her grasp. “What the hell?”Mrs. Wilson and Annabel had known each other for a long while. They are neighbors so Annabel learned from Mrs
“Someone is here for you, boss.” Jackson said the moment Nathan arrived the living room. Nathan crashed on the couch. He had just taken a nap right after leaving phoenix media house. “I’m not expecting anyone.” He told Jackson and yawned afterwards. Jackson sighed. “You’ll be surprised to find out who it is.”Nathan hummed. “It’s Kelvin Tyson.” Jackson spat. Nathan’s brows went up. “Kelvin Tyson?” Jackson gave repeated nods. “I asked him whether he had an appointment with you but he insisted that I inform you that it was an emergency.”Nathan sat up. “Let him in.”“Are you sure?”“It’s fine Jackson. Let him inside.” Nathan maintained. When Jackson stepped out, he saw Kelvin at a corner by the entrance, rubbing his hands against each other anxiously. He had tousled his hair atop. “You can come in.” Jackson told Kelvin. Kelvin smiled. Jackson saw stars in Kelvin’s eyes. It was as if the response had given him a reason to be happy. Kelvin muttered an appreciation to Jackson an
