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
The security officer gave his forehead a delicate scrape and turned away. Nathan arched a brow and folded his arms across his chest. “I said take me to the manager’s office right now.” He maintained, staring at the man straight in the face. The young security officer turned to Nathan with a sigh. “I don’t think. He’s….” he began to stumble on his words and at that point, Nathan knew that the man wasn’t willing to take him to the manager. “Listen to me. You either take me to the manager’s office or you risk getting fired.” Nathan confidently stated. The officer looked at Nathan. His nostrils were puffing hot air. “Come with me!” He said after a sigh and turned around. He began leading Nathan to the staircase. Nathan followed the security officer way up the staircase. They got to a hallway and the security officer pointed to the first closed door on his left. The inscription Manager was slapped on the door. There were other offices down the hallway. The security officer left.
Chapter 64Nathan darted his gaze down to the man kneeling before him. He sighed and ran his left hand through his hair.“Get up Bart!”The man was indecisive. Should he remain on his knees and continue to plead for mercy or should he stand up as Nathan requested he wondered. “Get up and return to your office,” Nathan stated. Bart stood up and turned away. He couldn’t even look Nathan in the face. Nathan watched him turn around and head back to his office. He then pulled out his phone and placed a call to Larry. “Come and meet me inside the bank at the reception downstairs.”Nathan made his way down the staircase. He marched to the security officers at the doorpost.Daylan, the security officer who had seen Bart kneeling before Nathan walked up to him. “Get two staff from the deposit counter to the customer care unit immediately. Things are getting messy in there. Tell them it’s the manager’s orders.” Nathan instructed. Daylan nodded in understanding and swung into action. W
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?”“Don’t worry about a thing Nathan. You’ve done your part. It’s my turn to put Bart in his place.” Mike replied. He continued. “You’ve done enough work for today. You need rest.”Nathan sighed and surrendered with a nod. “Fine Uncle Mike. I’ll be waiting for an update.”“Of course, I’ll keep you posted.”Nathan and Larry left the bank. ****Nathan staggered into the living room and crashed on the twin couch with a slight groan. Henry and Charles were shoving popcorn into their mouths from the bowl before them. Henry turned to Charles. “Did he wrestle a cow or something?”Nathan chuckled and sat up. Charles presented Nathan with a bottle of water. “You look stressed. Where the hell have you been?”Nathan snatched the water bottle and gulped down the content. He wiped his mouth with the edge of his palms and fell back on the couch. “Why do some of the privileged ones in our society treat other people like trash?” Nathan spat. Henr
Chapter 66Nathan’s eyes were fixated on the corner. A physically built man, dressed in black plain trousers and a grey hoodie was trying to force himself on a petite. Nathan watched him grab her wrists while she kept resisting. He pinned her to the wall while she kept trying to fight back, her face screaming discomfort. “Let go of me!” She screamed but the resounding music kept relegating her voice to the background. The man went ahead to plant kisses on her neck and the poor girl looked like she was about to throw up. Her countenance and his approach proved that he was forcing her to make out. The disgusting and annoying sight forced Nathan to turn away with a clenched jaw. “Are you okay?” Charles demanded after reading the pissed expression on Nathans’s face. Henry was without worry. He was sharing a bottle of red wine at the bar stand with the girls who seemed to be enjoying his company. Nathan faked a smile and wanted to blurt out to Charles that he was good but he caught
