Chapter 55Nathan opened his eyes after his alarm clock gave the signal. He wiped his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms and sat up with a sigh. It was a few minutes past 7 am. He was certain that Charles and Henry were still in bed because, after dinner last night, the guys stayed up till dawn, chatting and sharing a glass of wine on the balcony. Nathan strode to the bathroom. After taking a shower, he sat by the edge of his bed and pulled out a file from one of his table cabinets. It was the file Mike had handed over to him a few days ago. He began going through the document containing the list of companies his family owned. Nathan was checking out the lists when his attention was drawn to the Phoenix Media House, which was the head of all other companies.He was acquainted with that name. He looked away, trying to figure it out when it came to him. Charles had mentioned it several times. Nathan went through the statement attached to the company where the staff, associates,
“Wassup bro!” Nathan waved at Henry the moment he walked into the room. Henry joined them on the bed and sat next to Charles. “I could hear your laughter from miles away. So tell me. What’s the juicy news because you guys seem excited.”“How was your night?” Nathan asked, ignoring Henry’s assertion. Henry waved his hand down. “Forget about that Nathan. You guys should tell me what you were discussing behind my back.”“Answer the damn question.” Charles insisted. “Fine!” Henry agreed with a sigh. “I had a good night. Now tell me what’s cracking you guys up.”Nathan smiled. Charles cleared his throat. “Nathan is going to be a member of the millionaires club.”“Woah!” Henry was already beaming with excitement. “He’ll also be attending the millionaire’s party scheduled for this weekend,” Charles revealed. Henry shook his head with a smile. “You have no idea how excited I am right now.” He turned to Nathan. “That event is going to be grand. I can feel it already.”“Yeah!” Charles a
“Wow!”“How comes we didn’t see this place last night?” Charles spat and began taking steps like a controlled robot toward the Bugatti. Nathan rumbled in laughter. Henry, who had a thing for Lamborghini didn’t take his eyes off the vehicle before him. He turned to Nathan with stars in his eyes. “That’s a fucking Lamborghini!”“I know right,” Nathan replied after a chuckle. Henry rushed to the Lamborghini and couldn’t wait to lay his hands on it. He went around the car with his pupils dilating and the corners of his mouth stretching with excitement. Charles, who was fascinated with the Bugatti turned to Nathan. “Is this the new Bugatti Bolide?”Nathan confirmed with a nod. “That’s it.”Charles gasped and folded his arms across his chest. “This is the latest vehicle and I heard that only a handful was made. Damn!”Nathan gave repeated nods and moved closer to him. “Only three Bugatti Bolides were shipped to Rockville city.”Charles had a dropped jaw. Nathan continued. “My dad got
Chapter 58The boys dispersed to their rooms and assembled downstairs about an hour later. “All set?” Nathan demanded after his feet landed on the last staircase. “Ready as hell!” Henry replied with a wide grin. Charles gave him a soft pat on the back. “He’s so excited about driving us. He was the first to get ready.”Nathan smiled and slipped his hand into his pocket. He pulled out the key to the Lamborghini and handed it over to Henry. “There you go Mr. Chaffeur!”Henry snatched the keys from Nathan like it was some treasure. He dashed out. The boys shook their heads and hurried after him. When Nathan and Charles got to the garage, Henry was already settled in the driver’s seat. “Hurry up guys. Stop walking like slugs. We need to go shopping.”They chuckled and settled on the back seat. “Are you guys ready?” Henry asked, his face screaming excitement. The boys slipped their seat belts around them while Henry adjusted the front mirror. “I think we are all set,” Nathan said.
Chapter 59The boys bore disappointing looks. Charles was the most disappointed and his countenance was more evident among the boys. Just when he thought he was going to look smart in that Brioni, the manager was about to end his dream of owning a designer suit. Nathan and his friends walked up to the manager. Before Nathan could speak, the manager spoke. “I’m sorry guys. You can’t have these suits.” Reiterated to the manager. “But they were on display.” Nathan countered. As far as he was concerned, outfits that were on display were not purchased ones so they had the right to own them.The manager cleared his throat loudly. “Listen! The suits are still on display because the buyer hasn’t claimed them yet. He’s not currently available but will return to pick them up.” He explained. Nathan sighed and pouted his lips in annoyance. “So you’re saying the buyer bought all our three suits?”The manager pointed at the Brioni. “Not just the ones in your possession. All five of them.”Hen
Chapter 60From the moment Nathan humiliated him at the school mall by turning the tables against him, Kelvin had vowed to make Nathan’s life miserable so when he saw him and his friends entering Hose Mario, he decided to exert one of his revenge plans. Nathan folded his arms across his chest while Kelvin was taking bold steps toward them. Kelvin put on a straight face and looked Nathan straight in the face. “Why are you guys looking gloomy like some kids that lost their chocolates?”Charles and Henry clenched their jaws. After their expectations were violated in that store by the manager, Kelvin was the last person they expected to cross paths with. Several thoughts began to waver in Nathan’s mind. What the hell was Kelvin doing at Hose Mario at such an hour? It could be a coincidence that he showed up when they arrived but the way he slipped out of that corner with that mocking dry laugh was what Nathan found suspicious. Kelvin walked closer to Nathan and stood before him with h
Chapter 61“I’ll love to check out the gym at the mansion,” Henry said, his eyes bursting with enthusiasm. Ever since Nathan spoke about the gym in his mansion, Henry couldn’t take his mind off it. “Sounds cool.” Charles agreed with a nod. “I’ll also love to check the place out and work out there.”“Well, you guys can drop me off at Ben’s gym then head back to the mansion,” Nathan said. Henry stepped on the wheels. After driving for about twenty minutes, he pulled the car to a halt in front of Ben’s gym. “You’ve got your gym stuff?” Charles demanded just when Nathan was about to alight from the vehicle. “Ben always has extra stuff,” Nathan replied and hopped down. The boys waved at him and drove away while he traced his way into the gym. Nathan walked inside the gym with a smile. He had missed out a few days from his private lessons with Ben. Ben who didn’t see Nathan step in was pulling out some squats. The clients scheduled for the morning session had already dispersed. “I
Nathan tossed from one edge of his bed to the other. He had been trying to fall asleep but it seems sleep had eluded him. He rubbed his eyes with the edge of his palms and stared at the heart-shaped gold-colored clock that hung above him. It was seven minutes past 1 pm. After his session at the gym with Ben earlier, he had called Larry to come and pick him up. By the time Nathan got to the mansion, the boys were already done with their session though Nathan wasn’t sure if they engaged in a tour at the gym or worked out. After taking their showers, Nathan and his friends settled for some Chinese rice and liver sauce. Nathan then decided to take a nap while the boys remained in the living room. It’s been thirty minutes of tossing around and Nathan barely fell asleep. He sighed and wrapped his hands behind his head, his face facing the chandelier. Nathan couldn’t help but wonder why the workers he had been encountering at his father’s company seemed rude regardless of their positi
