The next day, Charles woke up, feeling happy and in a good mood. He was glad about his achievements, and resilience towards it. A few years ago, he would have never believed if they told him that such a miracle was coming to him.Even as the election was beginning to seem tough, he still won, because of his good heart and skills. He stood up, had his bath while humming a happy song, and got dressed.Charles walked down his stairs like a man of pride and success like he truly was, and his joy couldn’t be measured. Vera who was staring at him from where she was, could feel the happy aura around him. She was also glad that their efforts paid out, and everything good was working out for them.“Surely, the good always win.” Vera voiced out as Charles got closer to her.Charles smiled, and pulled a chair out in the dining, and sat down to a bountiful meal prepared by the maid which they retained after using her.Charles didn’t plan on having a maid before, but ever since he used her to dec
The receptionist came out and knelt down before him, pleading earnestly as she rubbed her palms together with teary eyes,“Please don’t do this to me. I realized my mistakes, but there was no way to get to you.” She continued to plead.“You’re making things worse by lying. You can’t have realized your mistakes that day, just with me. And that’s because you have been doing this for long, and don’t feel remorse. You were after the little gain politicians give you when you boost their ego.” Charles sneered at her, disgustingly.“Please sir. I have realized my mistakes. Just give me another chance.” Tears began to stroll down to her cheeks as she continued to plead without stopping.“I have made up my mind, and I do not want you to destroy the reputation which Auto Air Airline has built for themselves. To be sincere with you, I was shocked that Auto Air Airline operated that way, but I’m hoping it’s just you and a few more like you doing that.”“I promise it’s not from the management, s
The next day, Charles prepared to go for his mother’s burial place and when he was done putting on his suit, he sat on the bed, and exhaled.He knew if he went there, feelings of rage could double up, and that could make him act really merciless. At the same time, he couldn’t keep running from visiting his mother at the burial ground.He wanted to change the mood he always felt whenever he was going to visit his mother. Feeling sad, and rage filled, he wanted to take that off the shelf today.“Phew! Charles, you can do this.” He said to himself and exhaled, then stood up.He walked out of the room, and strode down the stairs until he got to the sitting room where Vera was waiting for him. He appreciated Vera for her constant support, and reminder of the right thing he was to do.“To start the day on a good note, I just sent you a million dollars.” Charles said as he walked out of the house.Vera followed him, and thanked him sincerely for his kindness to her. Then she got into the car
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
