Chapter 53"You really have some nerve," I replied, my voice laced with a hint of annoyance. Without wasting any more time, I walked out of the house, heading towards the parking lot. Once there, I swiftly settled into the driver's seat, eager to get going. As I drove off, a sense of anticipation filled the air. It was time to uncover what my dad had in store for me. Following the address my dad had sent, I arrived at a bar that exuded a classic and sophisticated ambiance. It was clear from the limited number of patrons that it catered to a wealthier clientele.Inside the bar, dim golden lights cast a warm glow, reflecting off the polished surfaces of the mahogany bar and the plush leather seating arrangements. Smooth jazz music played softly in the background, creating an atmosphere of elegance and refinement. As I entered, the air seemed to shift, drawing the attention of those present. The patrons, clad in designer attire, carried an air of prosperity and sophistication. Their conv

I asked in a composed demeanor. And a smile lit his face."I can see that energy. You are truly my son," he affirmed, his words filled with pride. "It's an investment basically on how to improve the channels and their functions around the globe, they need construction company to construct their site and I have a tech company". I murmured in disbelief that I am to do a work that was supposed to take nothing less than six months to gather the information."One month is a short time," I let out, as a surge of disappointment filled his face."We all know it was a short time; the contract came with some urgency, and as professionals who deal with many businesses, we
Chapter 55"Why are you not asleep?" I demanded, trying to divert the talk. "I am working on some files and trying to do research on how to promote a certain investment" I was thrilled to hear him say that. Who would have known he has the company's best interests in mind, just like his mom, who has always put our family business first? I think working with him will help me with the task ahead. Working together as one will be quite a good thing."That's so thoughtful of you" I admired. "I think we can work together; there's a project coming up; it's a challenge given to me by my father; it's a very big task; and I am to convince people of high caliber. I am disguising myself as the owner of that company. I need to convince them I am worth the contract," I explained and he looks really interested. "Wow, I think I love that already, so what's your strategy? How do you intend to woo this bestowing, folks?" He demanded, and it's obvious he knows more about it. "I'm going to dazzle them

Her words hung in the air, the tension palpable between them. He looked at her with sincerity in his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of desperation as he responded."No, I am for real. Please stay with me, even if it's just for a year. Your leaving me would truly be a great loss for me. I can die to before a year that they gave me." He says.Nathalie's voice shifted from confusion to concern. "Show me evidence. What is wrong with you? Why did you have a year to leave? You look fine and healthy to me," she said. He sighed, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and vulnerability. "Yeah, I may look fine, but I am not fine.

I don't want to hear you insist" She warned, her voice overwhelmed with concerns.her voice leaving no room for negotiation. "Okay, Queen Mother." He tried to crack some jokes, attempting to inject a moment of levity to the already tensed atmosphere."You can never change" she said, getting into the car. Clinton couldn't stop staring at her; she got undeniable concerns in her face, and she drove to the hospital."I made a very big mistake by letting you go. You are the realest girl I have met so far, and I feel so happy right now. Maybe God wants me to close my eyes for the last time looking at you" The words got Nathalie hook, and she almost bumped into a vehicle."Can you stop this already? You are not going anywhere, nothing is going to happen to you, so just keep quiet till we get to the hospital." She shout
Chapter 59"I understand that you don't want any extra help, but it's important for you to take your medication consistently," she says, her voice calm and concerned. Clinton nods in agreement. "It would be more convenient if I could drive you to your apartment so you have easy access to your medication. Additionally, it's concerning that your manager hasn't been informed about your needs. Did you explain the situation to him? And why hasn't your agency CEO taken any action? I suggested you join my agency, but you didn't take my advice," she says, her frustration evident as she rolls her eyes."I asked him to go home because I will be fine and I forgot the drugs today.

He appreciated their efforts, and they were glad he liked it. When they are about to leave for their office, his table phone rings out, and he picks it up. "Mr. Chairman, I hope you are informed about the urgent meeting summoned by the shareholders. You need to be there" President Karen announced.That's too prompt; why are they just giving notice at the last minute? Why if I had a tight schedule?" he demanded, frustration evident in his voice."I also told them about it, but we don't have any option here; you have to be there, she informed, and he nodded slightly."Okay, I will make sure to be there," he said curtly before dropping the call."Mike, you take care of things in the office. Nathan, come with me; there's an urgent meeting" he said authoritatively as he stood up from his seat. They both did as instructed, as Stephan a
