Chapter 124Nathan realized that Dory was making a mockery of him with her resounding laughter. She stood up and folded her arms across her chest. She looked down at Nathan and arched a brow. “You want to work as the surveillance manager? Are you crazy?”He sighed and lifted his head. “Alex Alcantara said I could work anywhere I wanted. He said I’m at liberty to pick whichever station I desire.” Dory was pissed. “So you’re telling me that you want to work wherever you want because you’ve got some backing huh?”“I’m just saying that…“Shut the fuck up, you pathological liar.” Dory barked at Nathan. She pointed at the door. “I guess I’m done being nice to you now get the hell out of my office.”Nathan had a dropped jaw. “You are dumb or what? Get out of here!” She yelled at his face and gave the table a tight slap. Nathan didn’t move an inch and Dory couldn’t be more irked. “Well, since I tried to be civilized and you’re not cooperating, we might as well go the uncivilized way.”She
Chapter 125Larry noticed the mischievous smile Nathan was bearing and he realized that the young man was up to something. Nathan pulled out his official phone and cleared his throat loudly. Larry folded his arms across his chest, watching Nathan in action.Nathan then dialed Dory’s phone number using the official phone that qualifies him as Alex Alcantara.“Hello, sir!” Dory responded immediately after she picked up the call. Nathan heard her voice quaking and he could tell that she might be terrified.“I just finished speaking to Nathan Smith, the candidate I sent to you.” He went straight to the point.He heard Dory gasp over the phone and his suspicions were confirmed. She was indeed terrified.“What was the meaning of that?” Nathan fired at Dory, acting like he was pissed.“I’m very sorry sir. I apologize for the incident that occurred this morning.” She said in a solemn tone that made Nathan wonder if she was actually the woman who had him thrown out a while ago.“Yoo can’t apol
Sammy traced his way to Dory’s office after watching Nathan being thrown into the elevator. He barged into the office and met Dory pacing back and forth in frustration.He ran his hand through his hair and crashed on the chair facing her desk.“Did he create trouble here also?”Dory sighed and sat. “You’ve met him I guess.”“Yeah. He was the kid that walked into our meeting and tried to pick up a fight with me.” Sammy said.Dory’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. “He tried to pick up a fight with you? Nathan Smith has some nerves.” She smirked.Meanwhile, Sammy was in Dory’s office to report the situation that occurred in the party room but after he saw the way the security officers were dragging Nathan away, he felt there was no need to speak to Dory about it since the insolent boy had been taken care of. Also, he wasn’t going to tell Dory how Nathan kicked his ass.****Larry wheeled the car to Phoenix junction and pulled it to a halt away from the road. Nathan grabbed his f
“Hey!” Nathan heard Dory calling out to him.Cecil stopped and together with Nathan, they turned around to face Dory who was taking fast steps toward them.What now? Nathan thought as the angry woman continued walking up to him.“Can I talk to you for a minute?” She requested after reaching Nathan.She motioned to him with her head to join her at a corner away from Cecil. Nathan did.“I want you to listen to me very carefully.” She began. “The fact that you’ll be heading the surveillance department doesn’t make you the boss of me.”“Yes ma’am,” Nathan said, wondering why she needed to call him to order.“You are answerable to me Nathan Smith and I want you to know that you’re more of an intern in that unit.” She said.That was harsh Nathan thought. After heaving a sigh, he acknowledged her statement with a nod.“Yes, ma’am.”She wasn’t done yet. She pointed at him and said. “If you dare misbehave, I’ll have you kicked out of that office. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve got Alex Alcan
Chapter 128Immediately 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
