Chapter 128

Immediately after Elaine left the dilapidated office, Nathan placed a call to Larry. He told Larry to wait by the junction. He then traced his way out of the building and by the time he arrived at the junction, the Rolls Royce was already parked and Larry was standing beside it.

“Well, at least you don’t look like someone that got kicked out the second time.” Larry teased and opened the door to the back seat for Nathan.

Nathan hopped into the vehicle and threw his back against the car seat. “It was quite an eventful day.”

Larry started the car and was soon hitting the road.

He drove to Nathan’s rented apartment and when Nathan stepped out, he dismissed Larry.

Nathan moved to his door and realized that it was wide open. Henry and Charles are the only people who had access to his spare key. Nathan walked into the room and saw Charles sprawled on the carpet, playing a video game.

Nathan fell on the couch. “I’m so tired.”

Charles paused the tie game and turned to him. “Lo

    Nathan tossed his case to the side and propelled the document toward him. “It’s your work schedule, sir, containing details of projects..” Rissa pointed out. Nathan arched a brow and grabbed the document with both hands. He went through several activity entries and was alerted by some of the entries. He lifted his head. “Why are there so many pending tasks here?”Rissa sighed and flipped her hair. Nathan pointed at the document. “It’s noted here that a partnership with Drone Electronics should be sealed by 11th May and this is the 27th”“We haven’t even met the supposed partners yet,” Rissa replied. Nathan was stunned. He went to the next pending item on the list. “It was also stated here that the manager’s office is yet to receive a grant for a renovation.” He shook his head. Elaine had briefed him on that already. He went on to identify two more pending projects from the list and all the responses Rissa gave him led back to the department’s lack of inclusion in the budget.Nat

    Chapter 130 Elaine stepped out of her office to check up on Rissa. Her station was right after Nathan’s door. “You’re busy already?”She was scribbling in a journal and reviewing some papers at the same time. “Mr. Smith asked me to sort out some figures.” She replied without taking her eyes off the journal. “I can help with that.” Elaine said and moved closer to Rissa. “You’re Such a life saver.”It took Nathan five minutes to sort the figures he needed while Rissa seemed to be taking forever. He needed her to be fast so that he could make a comparison and work on other things. A few minutes after Nathan left her station, Elaine grabbed the papers and gave a knock on Nathan’s door. He ushered her into the office. “I decided to help Rissa out.” Elaine said. Nathan commended with a nod. She walked up to his table and kept the journal she used to calculate the total figures required. Nathan brought out his sheet. According to his calculations, the sum of 9.7 million dollars

    Chapter 131Immediately after the Benz made it past the company gate, the chauffeur pulled it in front of the building, avoiding the parking lot. Two men quickly stepped out of the vehicle and ushered Mike out. Mike was smartly dressed in a gas-blue tuxedo. He was wearing dark spectacles that covered his eyes. The men stood by the car while Mike traced his way inside the company. He got to the reception. Rose was playing with her phone and the moment she saw Mike taking bold steps toward the reception, she quickly stood up with trembling lips. She had to quickly drop her phone on the table to prevent it from slipping through her grasp. “Welcome sir.” She forced the words out of her mouth with fear coursing through her veins. Mike acknowledged her with a nod and made his way to the elevator. On his way, he encountered some employees who froze at his sight. Everyone in Phoenix media knows that Mike rarely drops by and when he does, it was either to inspect the company or when ther

    “I heard that the surveillance unit got a new manager.” Mike began and threw his back against the chair. “Yes. He resumed work a few days ago. He’s quite a young man. He was sent by Alex Alcantara so I had no choice but to give him the chance.” She replied in her defense. “I see,” Mike said with a nod. He folded his arms across his chest and gave Dory another fierce stare. “Is that why you withdrew the funds?”She arched a brow. “Did you withdraw all the funds that were supposed to go to the surveillance unit because a new manager was coming on board?” Mike asked. Dory cleared her throat loudly. “Yes sir. I felt we couldn’t just trust anyone with such an amount of money in the account so it was part of the reason why I asked Theodore to withdraw all the funds from the surveillance department.”“What if the new manager needed funds to carry out his projects? Don’t you think he has projects he needs to carry out? How do you expect him to handle that besides every transaction require

    Nathan led Charlotte into the restaurant. They identified an empty booth and sat opposite each other. “Why don’t you place an order first before we talk about the business deal,” Charlotte told Nathan. “And you? Did you have anything at all?” he asked and signaled to one of the waitresses loitering around. “I had soda before the client arrived. I’m good.” She replied and crossed her legs. Before the waitress arrived at the table to take down his orders, Nathan had already quickly gone through the menu card and had made a decision. “Are you sure you don’t need anything?” Nathan turned to Charlotte. “Maybe a snack or another soda?”She shook her head in filial objection. The waitress arrived at their table and Nathan pointed his orders to her. She took them down in her journal and left. He turned to Charlotte with his hands on the table. “Tell me more about your meeting with the clients.”Charlotte sat up and cleared her throat loudly. “So my dad needs to replace the surveillance

    Chapter 134Nathan had been working all through the day. He didn’t even realize that it was past lunch break. He was bent on sorting the other two pending projects so that the employees can start working on them from tomorrow. He was alerted by a soft knock on his door. “Come in!” he responded and continued drafting the project outlines. Rissa walked into the office and stood before Nathan for more than twenty seconds but he didn’t lift his head. She cleared her throat loudly. Nathan finally laid his pen to rest and threw his back against the chair. “The board meeting is starting in five minutes sir.”Nathan approved with a nod. “I’ll meet you outside. Give me a minute.” He said and went for his pen. Rissa nodded and left. Nathan stared at his wristwatch. It was five minutes to 2 pm. He sighed and quickly went through the outlines he had drafted. He stood up, grabbed his phone, and dashed out to meet Rissa who was waiting by the door. They traced their way to the main building

    Chapter 135 “For how long had she been waiting in my office?”Nathan demanded immediately after he stepped out of the conference room with Rissa. “She arrived the moment I went back to the office after the meeting so Elaine felt it was best I notify you because you were expecting her.” “That’s true!” Nathan said. Nathan traced his way to the surveillance unit and went to his office. Charlotte was already seated on the chair opposite his desk while the two gentlemen she came with were occupying the sofa. Nathan walked up to his seat with a smile. He sat and waved at Charlotte. She presented the gentlemen to him. “This is Cameron and Jacob. My dad felt it was best we come together. Cameron is our company’s lawyer while Jacob is my father’s assistant. The men greeted Nathan. “Pleased to meet you both,” Nathan told them. He turned to Charlotte. “What can I get you? Water, maybe a beverage?” He then turned to Cameron and Jacob. “And you too gentlemen. What can I get you?”“I’m good

    Nathan arrived home around 5 pm. He strode to his bedroom and fell on his face. He was exhausted and was about to head to the bathroom when he received a text message. He sat up and pulled out his phone from his pocket. It was a text from his social director at school.The text read ‘Reunion party at 7 pm tomorrow. See you all there.’Nathan sighed. His coursemates were planning a reunion party the next day. He wanted to attend because he felt it will be a great opportunity to catch up with people like charles, Avery, and Charlotte except for Henry who was on vacation.Nathan’s phone began to ring and when he checked the phone screen, he realized that it was Charles calling. He concluded that Charles had probably received the notification too.“Wassup buddy. Party loading tomorrow night right?” Nathan said immediately after he picked up the call.“Yea. I just got a notification but it’s quite unfortunate that I won’t be attending the reunion.” Charles said.“Shit!”“I had to leave the

    Steve pulled the car to a halt in front of the airport building. Nathan turned to Avery with a smile. “You still want to do this?” He asked with his hand stretched out toward her. She took his hand into hers. “More than anything in the world. I’ve been running around for years and I never told you this but the main reason why I came back to Rockville was to make peace with your soul and then build my brand from scratch now that you’re here, I just want to spend as much time with you as possible, away from the whole chaos and drama. Just the two of us.” Nathan planted a kiss on her forehead. “Thank you so much, Avery.”She smiled. “I’m excited. It’s going to be my first time in Russia and I just can’t wait to explore the city with the love of my life.”Steve cleared his throat loudly. “Looks like I also need to find the love of my life and take her to Russia.”They laughed.Suddenly, Nathan’s phone began to ring. He heaved a deep sigh and turned to Avery. “It’s Charles.”“It’s over.”

    Morgan turned to his bodyguards who had been inside the lounge with him all this while. “Call for reinforcements. We’ve been tricked.”Derrick darted Morgan’s attention toward the chip on the table. “It’s a camouflage. It’s all programming shit.” He said and began to take off his jacket. Morgan was already sweating profusely. “I must find the real Alex. I need to kill that bastard today.”“Are you even serious?” Derrick cried out. “We are in a mess. That chip proved that this whole session was recorded.” He took his head into his hands. “I should have listened to Kelvin. This was a bad idea and now, we’re doomed. I’m not even sure if we’re the only ones in this building right now.”“I reserved the whole damn building and apart from the staff, there’s no damn customer here.” Morgan retorted and threw his gun on the floor. “My backup team will be here any moment from now and we’ll get the hell out of here. As for that recording chip, I don’t care about what’s in it or who had access t

    “Now that your girlfriend is safe and out of the picture, let’s talk business,” Morgan said to Nathan’s camouflage who was sitting before him and Derrick. Both men had no idea that the man sitting in front of them was a product of science programmed to function like Alexander Alcantara with a chip buried in his head. The camouflage was programmed to follow Cole’s instructions and ever since he walked into the longue, his words and actions were being directed by Coke from outside. “Why did you kill my parents?” The camouflage asked Morgan. Morgan broke into a laugh. “Seriously? Do you think I have time for this? Do you want me to respond to your stupid questions? You’re doing this to buy time right?”“Isn’t it obvious that you have me under your mercy? If you are going to take me out then at least I deserve the chance to know why you killed everyone in my family.” Nathan replied. “For my brother’s sake.” Morgan quickly replied. “You killed Corrigan, the only person in the world wh

    Nathan stretched his hand toward Avery and held her hand tightly. “You’ll be fine.” He mumbled to her lovingly. She nodded repeatedly.Derrick clenched his jaw and looked away while his bowels continued to heat up with rage. “You’re lying,” Morgan replied. “I gave you ten minutes to come here and according to my guards, you came alone so how did you get to rally troops and station them here?”Nathan chuckled. “I didn’t bring any troops from home. If you and your partner were smart enough, you’d know that this is the Grandiose Hotel and the Grandiose Hotel belongs to the Alcantaras.”Derrick and Morgan exchanged glances. “Shit!” Derrick cussed and rubbed his hair repeatedly. “It didn’t cross my mind.”Morgan frowned. “All I had to was give the manager a phone call before coming in. I told him that if four minutes pass by and Avery does not come walking through the door, he should tell the restaurant security squad to start firing.” Nathan said. Suddenly, Derrick snatched Morgan’s g

    The waitresses returned carrying food trays. They graciously placed it on the table. Morgan reached for the plate of steak and began to devour it like a hungry lion. Avery kept staring at her plate of pasta and meatballs. “Are you okay?” Derrick demanded. “Yeah.” She replied and looked up. “Don’t eat that.” Nathan’s voice came through the chip. She heaved a deep sigh because that was exactly what was on her mind. What if the food was poisoned? She kept thinking. Nathan continued speaking to her. “Leave your bag there and get up. Act normal and tell them you need to use the restroom then you head out.”“I think I need to pee,” Avery announced. Morgan stopped eating and dropped his plate immediately. “But you just got here?”“Yeah.” Derrick agreed with a nod. Avery faked a smile and quickly stood up. “I think I had a lot of water earlier and now, I need to pee. I’ll be back soon.” She said. She was about to turn around when Morgan spoke. “Excuse me?” Avery turned around lookin

    “You look as gorgeous as ever,” Nathan commented while Avery was tracing her way down the staircase. It was time to meet Derrick. He had already dropped the location and had called a while ago to say that he was on his way. Avery was wearing a short black floral dress with black sandals to match. Nathan had insisted that she apply makeup so that Derrick doesn’t sense her insecurity. “Are you sure about this?” Avery asked when she reached Nathan. Nathan took her face into his hands. “You’ll be fine. I promise you with my life.”She smiled. “If you say so.”“Remember, act normal and do as he says. Okay?”“Got it,” Avery replied and walked away. By the time she arrived at the restaurant, Derrick was already inside because he had texted her about three minutes ago that he had arrived. On her part, Avery had convinced him that their meeting was a secret because Nathan was not going to approve. She had taken a cab to get there. When Avery walked into the building, she was stunned by i

    “Welcome, bro. What can I offer you?” Nathan demanded the moment Kelvin walked into his living room. Kelvin marched in and didn’t even look at the couch Nathan was presenting to him. “I don’t think I can sit.”“You look restless. What’s the matter?”Kelvin sighed and faced Nathan. “It’s Derrick. He had been in my place for the past three days and he’s been looking like shit.”“Did you ask you to come here and convince Avery to go back to me?” Nathan asked. He then raised an index finger. “Listen, tell Derrick that if I see him close to my woman, I’ll kill him so he should leave her alone.”“That’s not why I’m here.” Kelvin sharply replied. “Last night, he went on a rampage and drank several bottles of my wine and when I walked into him in my living room, he was half conscious and he said some things.”Nathan abruptly stood up. “What did he say?”“You and I both know that it’ll be difficult for a man like Derrick to change.” Said Kelvin. “It’s not like I’m condemning him.” He quickly

    “He’s coming out shortly,” Daniel reported and sat with the rest of the team. That morning, Morgan’s allies stormed his mansion to talk about the tragic events that were unfolding. It was no news that his biggest warehouse was burnt to ashes. That evening, another one was looted and by midnight, Morgan got information that his security guards were attacked on their way back from the club and 6 perished while two were in a coma. Morgan made his way down the staircase, carrying the weight of his problems. However, he was sober and didn’t display any angry reaction. Perhaps, he was too beaten by the incidents that he had lost his will to react. His Allies looked upon him as he made his way toward them. The group consisted of his friends and partners who had helped him execute shady deals in the past. After he sat, Daniel stood up and cleared his throat loudly. “There is no denying that we all know who is behind the constant attacks. Without mincing words, I’d like to inform you all t

    It was Saturday morning and during the weekends, Morgan plays tennis with Daniel, his assistant. Daniel is no fan of table tennis and barely knows how to hold the bat but every Saturday and Sunday morning, he shows up dressed in shorts with his gears just to impress Morgan. Also, Morgan knew that his assistant was bad in the sport so it gave him an edge to defeat him completely all the time. This morning, Daniel was already seated by the court in Morgan’s house and was waiting for his boss to show up. Morgan had just stepped out of his room and was on his way toward the living room before heading out to your court when his phone began to ring. He frowned and didn’t pick up the call. Even though he was a workaholic, he had made it clear to his workers that none of them would disturb him with work matters except if it was an emergency. The call persisted and the warning bells in Morgan’s head began to ring. What if this particular call was a case of emergency?The call was coming fr
