Baby steps revenge

Don Soriano, Arturo and Esmeralda were waiting for Brandon. He wanted to show him his army.

“Here are the best Ten. Pick any one of your choice. Pay details to the specific things that you want”

There were about a hundred aside the best ten Don Soriano set aside for him. Brandon walked in, their midst scrutinizing the man. He noticed there were a few women in their midst. “You” and “You” “Step aside”

“What are you doing? Picking from the hundred instead of the best ten?” Sir Dawson mocked Brandon’s choices.

“What are your names?” “I am Madrigal Sir!” the man said in a husky voice. “That was unexpected you look cooler than the way you sounded”, Brandon said to him. You will be my new body guard. “What’s your name?” he said to the girl.

“Natalie, Sir” she answered sharply. “I have made my choice, father.”

“Your reasons are best known to you! Choosing these ones means you have a lot of work to do on them.”

“I know father. I will do more than I am expected”.

“I knew Arturo rained those best ten personally so they would be loyal to Arturo and not me! I would build my team myself!” Brandon said to himself.

“Here is the Certificate of ownership. You now own your first small win”. Don Soriano handed it to Arturo, who gave it to Brandon. He opened the envelope. It was to own Sillverio’s company.

Coupled with the complexity surrounding acquiring a multi-billionaire company, Brandon found it hard to believe his father truly got the company in his own name.

“Yes, believe what you see, you have two weeks to get prepared. Your work starts then. You have an assignment waiting for you!” Don Soriano left with his convoy.

“There's somewhere I want us to go!” Brandon said to Madrigal and Natalie. “Our first outing together, I don’t like what you’re wearing!”

Madrigal and Natalie wore army camouflage “We will go change, Sir” they both chorused.

Brandon intended to see Esmeralda now that he was in a good mood, the new owner of Silverio’s company. “Hey, can I have a word with you?”

“NO, she’s with me!” Sir Dawson responded rudely. “I know Toy-Boy it's about business, your mother will be back soon”, Brandon taunted Sir Dawson. He was furious and aimed at Brandon to hit him. He was held back, his arm was twisted backward by Madrigal.

Brandon laughed out loud. He wasn’t expecting Madrigal and Natalie to turn up that fast. “I’m starting to like the choices I made.”

“Stop it! Let him be!” Esmeralda accepted Brandon’s invitation to have a word with her. “Make it snappy ! I have places to be”, Esmeralda said, flaunting her hair.

“That’s rude talking to the new CEO” “I care less about who you are! What do you what?” She asked in haste.

“I don’t forget things easily, Miss Esmeralda,” Brandon said arduously.

“I just wanted to let you know, I’m here to be your rival, but I have changed my mind. I would love to combat with you!” Brandon left Esmeralda there despite being the one who called her.

“Look who called me rude? Leaving me here all by myself and he even dared to call a combat with me?” “What audacity!” She scoffed.

“Did he ask you out?” Sir Dawson domineered over Esmeralda. “Get a hold of yourself. You have done enough today”. She angrily walked out on him.

Sir Dawson hurried off to catch up with her. Hitting everyone he met on his way.

“I am shifting our engagement day forward or should I make it sooner?” Dawson asked Esmeralda, locking his lips as he asked her with predaciousness.

“I am not scared of you Sir. Dawson, my father must have agreed to our marriage, but I called the shots. I will think about it.”

“If you would excuse me now, I want to work.” Natalie asked to see Esmeralda from her secretary.

“Let her in” she responded. “What does he want this time?” She asked wearily.

“You need to accompany him to a place. It's an official outing” “He is really stepping on my toes”

“Lead the way” Esmeralda got to where Brandon was waiting for her. “Go, I’m taking my own car!”

“You’re defying my orders, miss Esmeralda” Brandon said jokingly. “My time is precious to me!” she replied bluntly”.

Madrigal drove the car while Natalie guarded Brandon. “We are going to Crown Hall’s Mall!”

Madrigal turned the car around sharply, making the car tires give out a loud screening sound.

“I love the sound of that!” Brandon said, relaxing.

Madrigal came to a stop inside the mall. Brandon stood outside in front of the mall. “It still feels like a dream, I used to work here. A few days ago, it felt so good knowing that I bought it.”

“Why are we here? I have more than enough groceries at home”, Esmeralda grumped, coming out of her own car.

“What do you want Sir? How may I help you?” “You must be the new employee?” Brandon reoiled the man.

“Yes sir! What should I get for you?” “Call the senior Manager for me.” The new sales representative was hesitant. “It’s no problem, I just want to have a word with him.”

“Hi, I am the manager Sir!” “Come with me!” “No Mr. Cassanova, let us talk here”

The senior manager was shocked as he couldn’t comprehend how the neatly dressed rich man knew his name. “I don’t think I know you sir!” he said with a mild grin.

Brandon removed his Bold Sun shades. “Still don’t recognize me?” “Yes Sir, I don’t ”

“There was a blonde guy that used to walk here. I want to see him”, Brandon pretended. The makeover was so perfect that even though he had worked with Mr.Cassanova for quite a while now, he still couldn’t recognize him.

“He didn’t show up and the business had to move on” the manager said, still smiling. “He bought this company !” Brandon said to Mr. Cassanova.

Mr Cassanova laughed uncontrollably, “you….. You….. Said? You mean Brandon bought this place? Tell me a better joke”

“OK, I need to tell you this. He defrauded the company before he left, collected an early fee without working for it.”

“You are either in the wrong place or you want to see someone else. I need to get back to work. Another VIP like you is here.” Mr Cassanova replied, still laughing at Brandon.

“Show him the proof of ownership”. Natalie handed it over to Mr Cassanova. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked closely at Brandon. “Are you his brother?” “Yes.”

Esmeralda hugged Brandon out of the blue, dragging him away from Mr.Cassanova, who was dumbfounded. “I would never underestimate anyone again, if what you are saying is true.”

“Why, what is going on?” “Why did you drag me away from that place?”

“Esmeralda?!” A coarse, strong male voice called out to her.

Esmeralda placed Brandon’s hands on her waist, looking deep into his eyes. She kissed him forcefully.
