The Rise Of The Billionaire Heir

Chapter 2 : Young master

Mason stood on the spot looking shocked and astonished. With his hands still on his phone, he gazed at the screen again. He looked so perplex and confused looking at the credit alert but then he shrugged off any thoughts of it being real. He thought the alert might be a prank.

Having the believe that the alert might be just a prank, he turned and started walking down the street. He just doesn't wants to enter a cab, since that was the last money on him and he needed to have a meal in the night.

With the chilly breeze hitting the cold shoulders, Mason still came on walking on the street with a sad and bitter look.

Just then, he saw a stroll of car surrounding him in a majestic way. Was he dreaming?

A young man dressed on corporate wears stepped out of the car and lower his head in a slight bow. "Young Master." He said.

Mason was beyond confused. He wondered if this man has got the wrong person by mistake. If not why would he call him young Master.

"Excuse me, I think you're talking to the wrong person by mistake." He finally said his thought out.

The young man smiled. " No young Master, you are the right person and I'm not mistaken."

" If you're talking to the right person,then what do you mean by young master?" A puzzle expression appeared on his confused face.

Giving off a faint smile the man on corporate wears opened the back seat of the car before bowing his head alittle, Mason could tell that this man was signaling him to get in the car.

" Where are we heading ?" Mason said still totally confused by this whole drama.

" To go see my father" the man smiled,

" But why " Mason asked but the man in question didn't utter any more words, he just bowed with his right hand still holding the door open.

After much hesitation, looking left and right Mason sluggishly got into the car and the door was gently shut, the sounds of vehicle could be heard as the stroll of cars drove off into the distant.

After a while of driving, the vehicles finally came to a halt at the front of a restaurant, the door was opened by the same corporate dressed man, and as Mason got down from the car he could see that he was in a place which with just one glance he could confirm that only high class personnel could afford to be in this place.

Looking at the restaurant in front of him , he could see fancy colored lights displaying all around it, with people of high caliber trooping in and out of it.

Leading the way was the man on corporate, the glass sliding door of the restaurant opened up and the man walked in with Mason following closely behind.

Mason could see different high class people around, some eating and chrting with their families while others could be seen holding what seem to be like a private meeting, and that was what Mason thought his coming here would be like, to seek answers.

How can he be a nobody at one minute and then the next he is been treated like he was an important figure which he clearly knew he wasn't.

They walked over to a table which was round in shape , two seats where neatly arranged opposite each other at the table with one of them already occupied.

As they arrived at the table, Mason could see a man who seem to be in his late 60s, his hair was nearly combed to the back, and looking closely, Mason could see some strands of gray hair by the side of the man's hair.

He was putting on a fancy black suit, a long black tie was also clinging to his neck and he was seen emptying the content of a wine bottle into two transparent glass cups.

" Welcome young master " the man smile giving off a harmless aura as he gestured for Mason to take a seat at the empty chair opposite him.

After a little hesitation, Mason sat down and a glass cup filled with red wine was pushed over to him.

" I am confused , what is this all about ? " Mason asked in a low tune as he stared at the man in front of him.

" It seems you really don't know who you are " the man said sipping from the glass cup in his hand.

Mason squinted his eyes still staring at this man before him waiting for an explanation. When the man saw that Mason wasn't saying anything he decided to explain.

" You see, one of the most powerful companies in the world had just lost their leader, and according to our radar the responsibility has fell on your shoulders" .

" I still don't get it " Mason said squinting his eyes more in confusion

" It is simple, you are the heir to the most powerful companies in the world and the mantle would be presented to you soon, you should take it up without too much debate" the man smiled showing off his white set of teeth

Mason was totally dumbfounded, ' heir to the most powerful companies in the world ' he repeated in his mind.

' but how ' Mason thought.

Just to calm the confusion in his head, Mason took a sip from the wine filled glasscup in front of him, not just a sip as he had totally gulped down the entire content of the glasscup.

Although Mason was still having doubts, seeing the genuine and sincere look on the face of the man in front of him, Mason decided to believe him at least he would see the way things would turn out. Although he was having a puzzled mind Mason didn't voice out his thoughts.

After the meeting with the man, they could see that it was already dark outside,it was clearly too late for mason to go home now, if his place was a stone throw from the restaurant it would have been better but giving that his place was further away, Mason had been asked to spend the night at a hotel.

Getting up from the chair, still with his work clothes on which clearly distinguished him from the rest of the people here, Mason began to casually walk towards the glass door of the restaurant.

But as he did a man who seem to have a bald head coupled with a round Tommy and wreaked of wealth stormed past Mason pushing him rudely making the recently pronounced young master stagger to the left and almost loosing balance before steadying himself.

It was no knew thing as Mason had gotten into worse situations, but who knows maybe all that was about to change.
