The sound of the birds chirping woke Charles up from his sleep, and the warm sun rays that shone on his skin made him feel good. Birds rarely came to perch on the tree beside his room, so to Charles, it felt like a good day.He stretched, and yawned, then stood up from the bed. He was ready for today’s agenda as he had rested enough, yesterday. Charles walked into the bathroom to have his bath, and after that, he dressed up.After he was done dressing up, he strode down the stairs to meet James who stood in the sitting room with an I pad in his hand. Charles had decided to go with James this time as he wanted to switch between, he and Vera on occasions like this.“Good morning.” James greeted with a slight smile.It was obvious that he was also ready for the day, and that he supported Charles in everything he planned to do.“Morning. Alright, let’s go.” Charles said as he walked over to the door.As they got outside, he was pleased to meet the men who stood in front of two dark cars b
Charles stood gallantly, and folded his arms, waiting for George to get to him.“What’s going on here, Charles! What the hell are you doing to my companies!” George yelled angrily.Charles scoffed, and sneered at him before he decided to speak.“So, we meet again. Firstly, do not forget you’re speaking to the Governor, and you know I can do anything, right?”George bit his lower lips, trying to restrain himself from getting too angry.“But that doesn’t give you the audacity to lock down my companies over some grudge that should have been forgotten, months ago.” George spat out.“Well, that’s why you should watch the people you oppress or step on their toes. I’m sure many people would come for you if they are each given a chance to payback what you’ve done to them.” Charles smirked, and unfolded his arms.“Still, you don’t have the right to do this!” George yelled, unable to control his temper. “You are still that small boy I knew a few months ago. I can still trample on you.” George t
In the evening, Charles sat at his balcony, staring at the stars and the beautiful night sky while he sipped his wine. The breeze was soothing, and wonderful that it made him feel relaxed and calm.Suddenly, the system appeared right in his front, and he looked at the instructions that was given to him with keen interest.“You are to spend 10 million dollars in 18 hours.”The system disappeared, and then his phone beeped, alerting him that he been credited. He took a deep breath, and then thought deeply on what he could use the 10 million dollars for.Charles stood up from his seat, and leaned on the rails of the balcony, looking at the streets, and dazzling lights at a distance.“What can I use these 10 million dollars for?” He muttered under his breath as he looked around.He had gotten literally everything he ever desired, and had even gotten business partnerships which he was delighted in. Now, there was nothing that needed him to throw money in at that moment.He paced around slo
Charles loved the idea as he felt it was a mind blowing one, but the first thing he was going to do to make that idea come to reality was to acquire a building of his own. A tech company which would be the master of all tech companies.He wanted that because most of the tech companies he had was either acquired from someone else, or it was a partnership deal. Now, he desired his very own tech company.“I guess something is cooking for there to be smiles all over your face.” Vera interrupted Charles’ wonderful thought.Charles looked at her, and smiled deeply.“Well, I guess. And I’m sure it’s going to work out really well.” Charles said, with a smile on his face.“It certainly will. I’m sure those workers at Adam’s company won’t see this coming.”“I know right? I also didn’t know I would be going back there this soon, but let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. Some workers, if not all, could have done the work right away.” Charles said as he leaned his back on the car seat, and exh
“Who…who is this?” Charles muttered out, trying to make himself believe that he heard wrong.Vera who noticed his change in mood, looked at him worriedly, and hoped something bad had not happened.“You know quite well that you would love to see me, so if you want to see me, I’ll text you the address to come see me. I will be expecting you.” The woman said over the phone call, and then hung up.Charles looked dumbfounded, and could not find words to say for a while until he got the text which contained the address of where he was. What was more shocking was that the address was his past address where he and his mother lived.“Is there anything wrong?” Vera asked, inquisitively.Charles’ eyes fluttered, and then he looked at her, but still couldn’t say a word. Series of baffled thoughts that filled his mind couldn’t allow him say a word, until after a while when he regained himself a little.“No…nothing. You know what, you and the driver should find a cab back home or something. I have
Night had fallen, and Charles was at home, feeling relaxed on his bed, but was lost in thoughts on what had happened earlier, which was his meeting with Rosaline.He just couldn’t understand why she just looked so much like his mother, that he could be fooled easily if they told him she was his mother, or if Rosaline herself acted like she was his mother who didn’t die.He sat up, and took a sip from his glass of wine, and then sighed.“What do I do with this change?” He thought to himself as he placed his index finger on his philtrum, and his thumb on his chin.Then a thought popped up in his mind, and he picked up his phone to call James. James’ number rang for about almost 30 seconds before he picked up.“Good evening, boss.” James greeted delightfully.“Evening. I want you to make a research on someone for me.” Charles informed, and gave James all the information he would need to get mor information.“Alright, boss. I’ll do just that. By the way, I got some information about Angel
Angela felt her anger build up as she felt George certainly had a hand in this. She viewed him as a shameless person since he did such. Just because he linked her with wealthy people who could patronize her doesn’t mean he could take all that away when he pleases.“I’ll be right back.” Angela said as she ignored his call.Mark grabbed her arm out of worry as he didn’t know what she wanted to do next after hearing such dis-heartening news.“Where are you going?” He asked, out of curiosity.“Don’t worry. I’m not off to do something weird or bad. Just let me go.” She said, with determination, and withdrew her hand from his grip, forcefully.Mrs. Adam calmed Mark down when he wanted to follow Angela, and he looked at his grandmother like he meant to say “Are you just watching her leave?”“Don’t worry. Angela is not someone to do something irrational. She might have a plan in mind.” She convinced him, and sat down on the sofa.Mark reluctantly backed down, and resumed his activity on his p
Charles drove back home, and when he got back home, he took a shower which relieved him of his tensed bones. He had a long day, and there was no time he dedicated to rest.He smoothened his hair under the shower, and shook his hair again, then he scrubbed his body a little, and walked out of the bathroom. After putting on his robe, he laid on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. “Tomorrow is another day.” He muttered under his breath, and shut his eyes to sleep.The next day, he got prepared for the meeting which he had been postponing for a while now; the Governor’s meeting with the board of members. He put a call through to his chief advisor which he had assigned for himself through a call.“Good morning, sir.” The chief advisor greeted, formally.“Good morning. I want you to set up a meeting with everyone necessary. Let’s meet in the conference room, and I should be there in an hour.” Charles instructed him, then hung up.He went through his wardrobe, and brought out the best suit
