"Welcome sir." The head of the finance department greeted Alex calmly as the latter walked into the department.Alex nodded with a smile on his face and didn't say anything. Yesterday, when he was checking the finance book, he could tell that something was wrong but he couldn't point his hands on it."Let me see the finance book, once again" Alex requested, sitting on the chair."Here it is sir." The man, smiled handling the book the Alex."No you can't leave, I didn't say you could leave." Alex's voice stopped him just as he was about to turn around and leave."I have some questions which I wasn't able to ask the day before, so you'll be here to answer them" Alex chuckled, opening the book as he flipped the pages.The man swallowed a lump of saliva in his throat not knowing what to say."Come on, don't be scared, as long as you're clean, nothing will happen to you." Alex laughed, still flipping the pages of the book without looking at the man."I already know what's happening. As lon
"How's the investigation going?" Alex asked, looking at John who had picked him up.He wondered how the latter had done it. Dropped off Tesla at the airport and still came back to pick him while on his way to the other company.Seemed like John must have asked the driver to drive very fast and ignore all road rules. John said truly a butler of a kind."Well the investigation has been going smoothly and now, we have even more evidence about the involvement of the Williams family in the conspiracy". John replied."I see," Alex nodded in satisfaction. He was expecting this, so he was not too shocked.He was just surprised at John's abilities to dig out information. This was the capital, he knew that the complexity of gathering information here would be two times harder than the way it was in Atlanta."But Young Master, that's not all, we also discovered one shocking thing." John continued, looking at Alex."Well, we discovered that apart from the Williams family, there's one other family
The old man smiled and looked at Alex with interest. Seeing that the latter was paying attention, he was quite happy and continued."Your father then told me that he wanted to start a company with it and that he was going to pay me back in three years.""I was quite curious and wondered how he was going to do cause the competition here in the capital wasn't light and there were many families and companies that were going to make him give up halfway.""So I was kinda curious and offered to buy some shares, but your father refused to make my interest grow even more and I took a liking to him." The old man smiled narrating all that happened."And your father did quite well, in three years, he built a company that was quite okay and was able to pay back my money.""This made me even more surprised and we got closer. Your mother's family who were opposed to the marriage were suddenly silent seeing this as they didn't know your father could rise that quickly.""Then two years later, your fa
"Here we are, Young master." John's voice came bringing Alex out of his thoughts."Are we there already?" Alex asked, feeling rather shocked in his heart.The William's family Villa was not as far as he thought it would be. Well that was a good sign. He couldn't care less about other things."Let's go in" Alex grinned and walked into the Villa.The guards at the gate didn't dare stop them seeing John. Besides, the clothes the both of them wore were very expensive, so they guessed they had to be very polite to them.Rather than that, the car they had just alighted from was not an ordinary one.So if they didn't want to lose their jobs, then they would have to show ultimate respect to the two.Soon, Alex and John who didn't even notice the expression on the guards face walked into the living room of the Villa."If this isn't a wonderful guest I have, then what is it?" A loud chuckle came just when the two walked into the sitting room of the Villa."Mr Claude Williams, it's quite nice to
"Young Master, don't you think it's quite too much?" John asked looking at Alex as they walked out of the Villa."I helped you ask for the name of the family you were looking for so that the search would be easier." Alex shrugged.He could tell that John was hiding something from him, but he couldn't tell what he was so he just gave the latter that reply."I understand young master." John nodded, not noticing anything off about Alex."So where should we head to now?" John asked as they got into the car."To the Smiths family" Alex laughed getting into the car."Sir, isn't that dangerous?" John asked looking at Alex in fear.This was one of the reasons, he didn't want Alex to know which family it was. He was afraid that he was going to do something out of it. Then everything would be lost."Why is it dangerous?" Alex inquired, raising his brows, a smile surfacing on his lips."We....we." John stuttered not knowing what to say."We don't know what stand they have towards us, so we can't
"Who the heck are you?" One of the men frowned looking at Alex with a frown on his face."As I've said before, you're my uncle and I'm your Nephew." Alex laughed walking towards one of the sofas and sitting down."I don't remember having a nephew like you." The man sneered looking at Alex in disgust."Well I don't blame you." Alex laughed."How would you remember having a nephew like me when you almost killed me when I was little.""What the heck do you think you're saying?" The man flew into rage hearing Alex's words."Yeah, you don't have to look at me that way, I'm talking to you all, you're guilty of trying to kill me when i was little." Alex continued, not giving them any face."Boy, you're rude, get your manners right, or you leave this place right away" The old man suddenly said, looking at Alex with a slight frown."Old man, you're my grandfather, and yet, you want to chase your grandson away. What you did few years back hasn't been enough right?" Alex chuckled standing up fro
"Mr. Alex, I received a call yesterday?" Tesla's voice came from the other end of the phone."What was the call all about?" Alex Inquired, a wicked smile escaping from his lips."It was the executives and they said they wanted to meet with me to discuss something crucial to the company." Tesla hesitated for a while before she replied."Then what did you tell them?" Alex inquired, feeling rather amused."I told them that I wasn't in the Capital," Tesla replied."Did they ask when you'll be back?""Yeah, they did.""What did you say," Alex asked, the smile on his face becoming wider."I did tell them that I'm on a business trip which would take me some months, so it was going to take quite a few months before I returned." Tesla replied."That's perfect." Alex laughed."Is there anything you would like me to do?" Tesla inquired."Nope, not necessarily." Alex shook his head."Just make sure to tell. me whenever they call you again, that's all I need to know." Alex smiled."Yes." Tesla re
(Next Day)"Mr. Alex, I received another call today," Tesla said over the phone."Again?" Alex asked, a smile surfacing on his face."Yes Mr. Alex," Tesla replied."What did they say they want?" Alex asked, knowing well that the person behind them was getting impatient."They said they wanted to know the exact time that I'll be coming back and if there's no exact time that I should send over my location, that they will come over instead." Tesla replied."I see," Alex muttered under his breath."So what should I do?" Tesla asked, Alex could feel the unease in her voice."I'll come over to Atlanta in the next two days. Tell them you're in Atlanta and they should come over if they want to talk." Alex replied after a while.He was wondering why the other party was just so impatient. Seemed like they wanted to acquire the company so so quickly. Why were they in a rush?The company was not too big, so why were they excited, or could there be some other reasons?"Alright, sir," Tesla replied
