"I believe in you, son. I know that whatever you want to do has a reason for it, and I know that you wouldn't do anything wrong," Mrs. Wright said, smiling at Alaric. He nodded and smiled in a retort. "Thanks for having faith in and trusting me Mom. I will never forget what you have done for me. This family changed my life and you showered me with love. I will never regret coming into this family." "It's also a good thing for us that we have you in our lives, son. I'm sure that you will be the one to uphold our reputation in high regard I have strong faith and confidence in you," she said. Alaric nodded, and they talked about a few more things. " Anyways, did you meet with the members of the Board today?" His mother suddenly asked. "Yes," he said and nodded. His eyes darted to the outside. "I met with them. They were very kind people and they had very great reputations as you had told me. Also, I didn't face any problems and I was able to catch up quickly. There was no commotio
Alaric stepped out of the elevator. His eyes were fixated on the bright chandeliers hanging on the ceiling. For some reason, he wasn't used to it. He still wondered how everything could change so quickly. Steve walked behind him. He turned to Steve. "The Villa I purchased, is it ready for occupancy?" He asked. Steve shook his head. "No, Young Master. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a little more time. It usually takes three to five days for a purchased apartment to be vacant for occupancy. The house you purchased is still undergoing some final touches. It should be ready in a few days, and it shouldn't be a problem afterward. Forgive me, young master." "Oh, no problem," he replied. The anticipation of moving into his own personal haven had been building within him for many days. "How about the supercar I purchased? Is it ready?" "No, young master. I have completed the payment as you asked me to, but then, it should take a while before it is ready," Steve said, sighing
"Young Master, we have arrived," Steve informed looking at Alaric who was seated in the back. Alaric's eyes opened to see the bright sunlight, blazing through the car window. The beautiful company stood in elegance, and he was surprised at how large this building was. A smile crossed his lips as he nodded, and Steve stepped out of the car. A guard opened the door for Alaric to come out of the car, and Alaric stepped out. He sighed deeply, understanding the responsibilities he would shoulder. Somehow, he felt like it was a very foreign thing to him. "Is there anything wrong, young master?" Steve asked, noticing the weird action of Alaric. "Nothing is wrong. It just feels like this is something huge that I have not done before. I'm still wondering how I will be able to handle everything," he said, feeling tense. "Don't worry young master. Everything will be just fine. I'm sure you did well yesterday, and I know you will also do a good job today. Your mother, the Madame, will be s
"Sorry if I made everybody wait for so long," Alaric apologized, not sure of what the look on their faces meant. The entire room looked at each other in a way that wasn't so clear to Alaric. One of the men in a suit stood up and walked to Alaric. "Sorry for what, Young Master? There is no need to be sorry, sir," he stated. Alaric looked at him with a befuddled expression on his face. "There isn't a need to be sorry? What do you mean? I came late to the meeting, and it seemed like you guys were exhausted already from waiting for me," he said. "No, young master. That is not the reason why we were looking at you that way. We were only surprised someone came in unexpectedly, nothing else. We are pleased to have you. Right?" He asked, turning at other people in the room. They all nodded, concurring with the statement. "If you guys are not angry, does it mean I came early?" Alaric asked, confused. "There is no need to ask about that, Young Master. It is not something we are to deci
Alaric walked to the lobby where Evelyn was waiting for him. "What was that, Evelyn? I don't understand why you had to leave that abruptly," he said. A tinge of remorse blazed in her eyes, and he couldn't fathom what the situation at hand was. "I'm sorry young master," she said with a faintly dim expression. "I didn't mean to leave like that. It just happened all of a sudden, and I had to leave," she said. "Why did you leave? What happened?" He asked her. "I'm sorry if I made you worry, Young Master. I wasn't comfortable at that time, so I had to leave and come here to wait for you," Evelyn explained. "What made you uncomfortable? Is it because of Lucas? Is he troubling you?" Alaric asked, showing concern on his face. For a while, Evelyn was silent and didn't say a word. "Forget about it, young master. It is just some personal issues. I hope you understand me, please. I just don't like Lucas," she said. Alaric was shocked to hear that. He thought Lucas was a very good pers
"What time are we going to arrive, Steve?" Alaric asked as he put on his seatbelt. Steve glances at the front mirror, staring at Alaric. "It wouldn't take long, young master. Don't worry, the diner is not so far from here. I'm sure it wouldn't be long, as long as there isn't traffic or a ruckus down the road." "Alright," he said. "I will take that as an assurance," he added. "You sure can, Young Master. It's my first time there, but I know it wouldn't be long. I've searched it out, and it's about 1 km from here, so it shouldn't take our time." Evelyn glanced at Alaric. "Young master, would you mind taking a look at your other schedule before we arrive?" She asked. "Ah, yes. I would like to do that. I believe it would save me from the stress of not being aware later on," he said. She handed him a file she had been with, and he took it and looked at it. "What construction site is this?" He asked, pointing at one of the agendas. She took her file and looked up at it. "Sorry
The waitress brought the order in a tray and placed the cups of coffee on the table. Alaric smiled at Mr. Donaldson, and he tipped the waitress. "Thanks for your service, ma'am," he thanked her, and she nodded. "You're very welcome sir. Have a nice meeting. Thank you for the tip," she said, and bowed her head, before retreating to the counter. "That's very generous of you, Alaric, but I already paid for every order we would need. The extra money which we might not make use of is given as a tip. Anyways, that's very good of you, Alaric," he said. Alaric smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Donaldson. If there isn't any more to say about that, can we get to the real matter? I heard you have been proposing a deal with the Wright Empire, and have arranged this meeting today to specifically speak about it," Alaric said. Mr. Donaldson nodded. "Yes, Alaric. Anyways, I was expecting to see your father or your mother, because he was the CEO and owner of Wright Empire before the big annou
"It was very nice speaking to you, Young Master Alaric. I hope you put into consideration all that we have discussed and I hope to hear from you soon. Have a safe journey home," Mr. Donaldson said, extending his hands to shake Alaric. He was reluctant at first but shook hands with Mr. Donaldson. He walked out of the café, with the words ringing in his ears. "I know you, Alaric Drones." It was as if it pierced deep into his heart, and he was troubled about it. If one person knew about his past and everything about his life a few days ago, then it was all going to be ruined. Steve walked up to him, with a smiley and anticipating face, accompanied by Evelyn. "Young Master, how did the meeting go? You're done already?" Steve asked, looking at Alaric who was trying to remain calm. He was lost in thoughts for a while, and it caught Steve and Evelyn off guard. They didn't understand what was going on with Alaric, and Steve snapped his fingers at Alaric's face. "Young Master, what's
