The rest of the dinner finished in silence as the family members exchanged deathly glares among themselves."Goodnight, mother," Jacob was the first one to leave the dining room and shortly after, his wife followed after him."I'll take you up to your room," Chase said when the empress dropped her glass of water and he helped her to her room."Don't forget to be ready for your flight by 7 am," she said as he tucked in the duvet that was over her."Grandma," he started softly. "Did you know what Aunt Regina was going to say?" He asked the empress.She looked to be in thoughts for a while before what he was asking clicked and her face hardened a bit and an unknown emotion ran through her eyes."Just random stuff. Pay her no mind," she waved it off.Chase wanted to press her for an answer but he decided against it."Goodnight, grandma," he said after applying the balm that was prescribed for her on her feet and giving her a little massage and he left the room.On his way back to his quar

With the weight of the new bit of information he had about his family, Chase couldn't sleep that night. He tossed and turned in his bed till the first break of dawn.Deciding it was useless to try and continue sleeping, he decided to get up and ready for his trip.He went to his large closet and packed some clothes inside a suitcase and went to get ready."Are you going somewhere, young master?" Denise asked as soon as she saw him wheeling his suitcase."Just a little trip. I'll be back by the weekend," he said."Oh, okay," Denise nodded and Chase continued walking but didn't walk for long before coming to a halt."What you told me last night should remain between us," he said firmly."Definitely," she agreed. She didn't need to be told twice as she knew she would be in serious trouble if the other family members found out she had been the one that told Theo.But she had nothing to worry because Theo was going to do his findings on his own, rather than asking questions."Take care of

"Where's Theo?" Imelda asked when they were all gathered in the dining room and had even started eating and he was yet to arrive.The empress finished chewing the food in her mouth before responding while the rest of the family members waited for her response. They had all noticed his absence but didn't care enough to ask."He's on a trip," the empress said simply.They waited for her to clarify but when she didn't say anything else and continued her food, they knew that was all they were getting.Chase left the plane and a few feet down, two exotic cars were already waiting for them and he was ushered in."Young master, our first stop is….." Agatha, who was still very energetic started again and this time, Chase was actually more awake and he listened intently to her plans."Wait…a dinner date?" He stopped her right there."Yes, the empress said you should meet with the daughter of Sir Peterson," she said, even though Chase had zero idea who Peterson or his daughter was.Feeling tire

"It's worse," Chase said and the men's hearts dropped to their stomachs."Si…sir…I…" the manager stuttered but Chase raised his hand to silence him and he immediately swallowed the rest of his words."This means you made me fly all the way from the states to waste my time," Chase continued, saying each word with malicious attempt."Not at all sir. Just give us time and we'll come up with something better," the owner of the company, who was now on his feet, pleaded."Time is what I don't have, Mr…." He drifted off for the man to fill in his name."Roberts, Sir," the man rushed out."Aha! Roberts," Chase repeated.The other men in the boardroom were utterly shocked because Ace-cee was one of the biggest construction companies in the city and there was no business person that didn't know his name but the vice president of Gab and Gabe's just waved him off like any other ordinary person."If that's all, I'll take my leave now," he stood up and Agatha followed swiftly after him, packing th

"No, no, it can't be," Martins repeated in his mind and Roberts stared at him with an impatient look.Chase's face held an amused expression but within that amusement was malice. He remembered it clear as day and that was hands down the most embarrassing moment of his who existence after when Patrick made him kiss his shoe in the lobby in the presence of everyone."That….that was….that was you?" Martins stuttered and pointed at him with shaky hands."In flesh and blood," Chase said and opened his arm to gesture in an exaggerated manner.Martins' weight couldn't hold him anymore and he dropped to his knees."Sir, please…." He whispered, not knowing what to exactly to beg for.He still couldn't believe that the poor, dirty cleaner he had insulted months ago was now the person that he was staring at. Someone that just a word from him can end his whole career that he had spent 20 years to build."Martins, what's going on?" Roberts asked softly but Martins couldn't hear anything past the l

Chase's face sported a satisfied smirk as he watched from his car in the parking lot as Martins was dragged out of the building."Piliste is definitely going to be more fun than I expected," he said to himself "Where are we headed next?" He asked Agatha.She listed their next activity from her head before opening her iPad to cross-check and they drove to the next location.The next two meetings that followed after the one at Ace-cee went smoothly and Chase was able to close the deals."That's all for today," Agatha said when they entered the car after exiting the last company.Chase made a non-committal sound at the back of his throat while he was doing victory dances inside, happy that the day had finally come to a wrap and he could get some rest."Your date is scheduled by 7:30pm," Agatha said, bursting his happy bubbles and he groaned, throwing his head back on the headrest. Agatha found this funny and the sides of her lips tugged upward.Chase thought for a while and almost as if

The woman's blonde hair rested over her shoulders in bouncy waves. She sat upright with her upturned nose high in the air as she waited for the date her father had arranged for her."Hi, Veronica, I'm sorry I'm late," he apologized for keeping the young lady waiting as soon as he got there.Veronica turned to her right where the voice was coming from and her breath hitched in her throat. Her father told her that the person she was going to see was the son of his long time friend and business partner. She had mapped out different images of the person in her head but none of them came close to describe how handsome the man that stared at her was."Are you okay?" Chase asked wkty concern when she stared at him for longer than was normal and she was snapped out of her daydream.""Yeah, um, hi. I'm Veronica," she said nervously and stood up to offer him a handshake."I already know that," he replied with his million dollar smile and took her hand in his and handed her the flowers.Veronica

With shaky hands, Laura returned to the table with Veronica's order.Veronica frowned at the food and was about to say something when she realized that Laura had gotten her order wrong but Chase beat her to it."What is this?" He asked and Laura's eyes snapped up to meet his. "Are you deaf or just plain stupid that you couldn't get a simple order correctly?" He asked with annoyance."The…..sir…" she immediately corrected her slip up."Shut up and get this rubbish out of here and come back with my correct order if you don't want to lose your job," Veronica did the rest of the talking.It irked her how the girl seemed to know Theo, who she now liked and even though Theo had made it clear that they didn't know each other, she could tell he was lying and she planned to do everything to belittle the girl.Chase on the other hand, really enjoyed how scared and confused Laura looked at their outburst. She had been so scared and anxious that she got the order wrong and they made sure to ridic
