When Nathan got away from the Carson mansion, he took in some breath of fresh air and breathed out a sigh of relief. He was now a few miles away from the house snd was standing on a straight path, waiting for a cab to pull over. Nathan had a lot of things he needed to accomplish at Springfield and the most important thing right now was to get a place to spend the night. He was about to book a ride using his phone when he noticed a cab pulling toward him. The car had just dropped someone off around the neighborhood. “Going somewhere?” The driver asked after pulling to a halt before Nathan. “Yes.” Nathan replied and immediately opened the door to the front seat. He sat and then turned to the driver. “I need to get to a hotel right away.”The driver saw Nathan’s back pack and concluded that he was some stranger in town. “Do you have any hotel in mind or you want me to recommend a guest inn for you?” Asked the driver.“Take me somewhere far from here.” Replied Nathan. He was so sick
Before the ladies could get to him, Nathan had already made his way through the marketing department. The receptionists left with no other choice smirked and left him to fate. On reaching the unit, Nathan met several people seated around their cubicles. While some of them were glued to their computer screens, the others were going through some documents. There were about six persons in the office. There was a large sofa facing the cubicles after the door so Nathan decided to take a seat. Some of the workers im front stared at him for a while and then went back to discharging their various duties. After waiting for a few minutes without getting an attention or a word from anyone, Nathan stood up and marched toward the wing by his right. “Excuse, me.” He spoke to the person occupying the first cubicle. “I’m here to check out an apartment.”The young man moved away from his computer and immediately adjusted his spectacles after Nathan spoke. “I beg your pardon?”Nathan sighed. “I’m
After going through the first three pages of the catalogue, Nathan stopped with a sigh. His eyes were glued to a particular section on the left which was dedicated to penthouses. “So, what do you think?” Harris asked after noticing the section that piqued Nathan’s interest. Nathan hummed. “I think I’ve gotten what I been looking for?” He replied and passed the catalogue to Harris. “This, right here is the house I need.” Harris smiled. “You have good eyes, boy. This is one of the most exotic properties we have here. This penthouse is a few meters away from Springville beach. It’s peaceful, beautiful and gives you the perfect view. If you’re a loner then trust me, you’re going to enjoy this place. You should see the structure in person. It looks way better than on this paper:”Before Nathan could give a response, Margaret was already on her feet, berating him with her laughter. “Wait, did you just say that Smith chose a penthouse?”she directed the question at Harris. Harris turned
Looking down at the beach from the top floor of his penthouse, Nathan couldn’t be more satisfied. The calm waves and the few people on the sand were a scenery to behold.As Harris said, the property was serene and more beautiful physically than it appeared in the catalog.After he received his house receipt and ownership papers from the real estate company, Nathan was taken to the house by Harris. A few moments later, a security expert showed up to register Nathan’s fingerprint on the house locks.The penthouse was a building painted grey. It stood tall opposite the city’s beach alongside other houses and it was made up of two floors.Immediately after the real estate company had done their part, Nathan contacted a furniture and decorations agency and in about 24 hours, his house was set up. He now had appliances, furniture, artifacts, paintings, and all the requirements of a standard home.So far, he is yet to secure a car. He had been using commercial cars for the past two days and
“You must be, Sir. Fredrick.” Nathan said with his hand stretched out toward the old man. “Pleased to meet you.”Fredrick smiled and moved eagerly toward Nathan with a trembling hand. “Yes, I’m Fredrick and you have no idea for how long I’ve been dying to meet you, especially after what you went through. I’m so glad that you’re here,”They shook hands.Fredrick and Smith Alcantara, Nathan’s late father go way back in time. When Nathan’s dad wanted to set up a company in Springville about a decade ago, he contacted Fredrick, one of his family’s stewards.Fredrick is a professional businessman and Alcantara loyalist. He had been managing the Roving company on behalf of the Alcatanras for about 11 years now. Even though he was entitled to mouth-watering benefits as the acting president, he felt that his job was an act of service to the Alcantara.Even though he had never met Nathan in person for years, he had been up to date with Nathan’s life. Fredrick was a part of the alliance group w
Reality instantly dawned on Conor and he knew he had messed up big time. He had seen the way his superior was acting like a loyal dog before Smith and that was the first time in forever he had seen Fredrick act that way.If his boss who was the president of the company could be so meek before Smith, Conor realized that his chance of maintaining his position as the managing director of Roving company was hanging on a thin thread.He remembered Fredrick asking Smith to take a look at the building before leaving so, he dashed out and headed down the hallway.Right outside Fredrick’s office, Smith stood at a corner, responding to a call. It appeared that he didn’t get a tour of the company as planned.After he slipped his phone inside his pocket, Conor watched him walk back to Fredrick who was waiting a few meters away.“I have to leave. I’ll drop by next week and then we can have a more in-depth conversation.” Smith told Fredrick.Fredrick was standing before him, nodding repeatedly like
Lisa took a deep breath and looked up at her father with a determined look. “I don’t want to sound too confident but I think I can pull this off.”Joey broke into a broad smile. “I have no doubts and trust me, you’re going to kill it.”Lisa was about to respond when the door to the office was pushed open. A young man who was about 21 years old walked in a well-tailored suit.Lisa turned around and when their eyes met, she sighed.“Surprise!” The young man said with his palms lifted.“Liam, I never knew you were in town,” Joey said.The young man, who was a replica of Joey Carson sat on the chair right next to Lisa. “Well, I arrived this afternoon and Mom said you guys were at work so I felt I should come over. I decided to surprise you guys. I boarded a plane last night.”“Well, you don’t come to work at 3 pm,” Lisa replied. “You should have stayed back home to rest and then come with us tomorrow since you wanted to work.”Liam chuckled and crossed his legs then he knotted his hands
“He can go ahead and work on the project. I don’t give a damn about it,” Lisa muttered under her breath and stomped her feet very hard as she marched out of the building. With her nostrils puffing hot air, she charged toward her Benz, parked beside her father’s car and got into the car. After Lisa mounted the driver’s seat, she slammed the car door very hard and began to vent her frustrations on the steering wheel while groaning and hitting it repeatedly but that wasn’t enough to calm her down. She sighed and stepped on the wheels then she pulled the car out of the office premises.As she swerved down the straight path ahead, Lisa had no idea where she was headed. She just kept speeding. After driving for over thirty minutes, she ended up in front of a club house located on the city’s outskirt. She grabbed her phone and immediately turned it off before her father started bombarding her with calls. She then grabbed her car keys and dashed out.It was past 5 pm and by this time, Lisa s
