Once again, Milton watched as everyone mingled, ignoring Trevor's eyes drilling holes in his back. If anyone told the men in the room that Milton married Trevor’s sister, they would call them liars. Most of the people here were moguls. Milton has seen them in magazines and has read their biographies in his spare time. His first attempt to speak to them didn’t go as planned since they pushed him aside as if he was nothing. He was even surprised they didn’t ask their guards to throw him outside. Apart from Trevor, nobody knew his identity and from the looks of things, Trevor Genos didn’t plan on introducing him to everyone else. Not now. Not ever. Their topic was a wide range. If they were not speaking of a vacation they went with their side chicks, then they spoke of a new country their sons and daughters planned on going to for their further education. Just like last time, they didn’t miss the chance to shove it to each other that they had money and they knew how to use it. “Is
Embarrassingly, Red Jones introduced his parents to Milton and Tiwari, “Mom, Dad. Meet the CEO of the company I am seeking help from. Sir, Mister, meet my parents.”Milton and Tiwari shared a glance. Milton was disappointed.“Oh. Hello. I apologize for scaring you, sir.” Red’s mother bowed at Tiwari.Tugging his hair frustratedly, Red pointed at Milton, “Mom, not him. But the other one.”“Oh. My apologies, sir.” Red’s mother said, her voice a tint of amusement. Milton waved at her. “It is okay.” “Follow me, I must give you something to eat as you tell me what my son has lied to you. I am not selling the land.” The woman shoved her son ahead and link her arms with both Tiwair and Milton.“Mom, how many times must I tell you these people are not interested in buying the land? They are here to see the fruits.” Red said playfully. As they headed to the house, Milton liked their playfulness. And just recalling the machete, he couldn’t help but wonder whether the woman was just playing.
Although Brianna kept tabs on the Coltons, she has been missing important stuff. While Rickie was expanding his territory, without causing chaos, Colton was figuring out a way to attack Milton from a different point. Fortunately, Colton wasn’t succeeding. He sent his assistant to Red Raw LTD to sabotage the ongoing investment negotiation and his assistant didn’t return with good news. Red Jones was adamant. He wanted help from Milton and Milton alone. Milton was the only person who accepted to help him that fast without complications. But then again, his investment in Red Raw LTD won’t have made any changes to Milton Jackson’s company. If he wanted to turn Milton and his company into a laughing stock, he had to up his game. Now, they knew this better than anyone. Colton couldn’t help but narrow his eyes at his son. “Dad, I do not control Natalie.” Dickson defended himself, knowing what his father was thinking.“That is because you don’t know what she wants. Are you that bad in
By the time Milton and Brianna finished explaining to Melinda, Melinda was laughing so hard. Clearing her throat, Melinda told Milton, “my apologies. They shouldn’t have overreacted like that and then turned to the lady they were trying to save.” Brianna shook her head disbelievingly while saying, “turning me ‘the victim’ to ‘the abuser.”Milton nodded, smiling. “I didn’t see that one coming.” “Well. It happens when someone misreads things. Excuse me for a minute.” Melinda went to the next office where the blonde and her friend were and told them Milton and Brianna have forgiven them. The blonde left the office while muttering how ungrateful people were while her friend remained apologizing to Melinda. “I am sorry about that. I will be more vocal next time.” Milton said while rubbing his forehead. “Don’t worry. I am sorry too. I will wait outside while you speak to her.” Brianna said while standing. Milton was shocked, he didn’t expect Brianna to say that. He thought she would
Tiwari returned while Milton was at a business meeting with one of the moguls he met during the prison investment meeting. Upon hearing who Milton was with, he asked Aida to inform him immediately after the meeting ended.He went to Brianna's office. Brianna was busy tracking down Dickson's whereabouts while checking on his social media to see whether she would get something useful. He has been seen in places he shouldn't be seen. Everyone knew Colton and Rickie didn't trust Dickson, and so, it was either they did overnight, or Dickson was trying to prove himself or, Dickson have decided to grow up and become his own man.This all wasn't good news for Brianna, she could only deal with the father and one son. Tiwari slumped on the chair in her office, and without greeting her, he told her, "you are a good damn player. And if I wasn't keen, I shouldn't have known. What exactly did Crystal do to you which I didn't know? Wasn't there any other way you would have used Samantha?"Brianna
“Come on, it never took you this long to stay mad at me. I said I am sorry, what more should I do? Buy you a cake?” Bryson asked, sparing a glance at Troy. “Allow me to feel what I am feeling. Don’t talk to me out of it. I know you want me to laugh and smile. To start nodding at whatever is in your mind. But not now. Okay?” Troy snapped and Bryson let out a frustrated sigh.The whole journey home, they spoke of nothing. For the first time, Troy was remorseful at what he did to Milton Jackson. He thought of what he would have done differently after Brianna and Roger asked him to sleep with Samantha Genos, and to make it worse, to record the whole deed. Troy was saddened all of them had been blinded by Roger’s promises. The idea of having another master had been bad. Although he was angry at Bryson for calling him cheap, he was glad he provoked him that day. At least his conversation led him to meet Brianna and after speaking with Brianna, Troy realized that perhaps, it wasn’t a wro
Tiwari caught Meehan’s eyes in the rearview mirror. Meehan shuddered and when Milton noticed it, he narrowed his eyes at Tiwari. Tiwari finally asked, “Sir, we agreed you should let me know earlier about your plans.”Milton waved him off, he doesn’t recall the two of them discussing it. Milton would be the one complaining about it. He returned his attention to Meehan and listened as Meehan told him about his day.Earlier, if anyone told Milton, Meehan only wanted to treat Milton a dinner as a token of appreciation. Milton was more than happy. Meehan has taken a deep liking to Milton and this was his way of showing Milton that he also cared about him. Yes, they have never spoken about their friendship but something told Meehan that Milton saw him as more than just a worker. They arrived at the hotel front and Tiwari pulled his hair frustratedly. “The Genos?”“Oh. Sir, my apologies. I couldn’t get a reservation at the Moonlight Restaurant so I selected this one.” Meehan mumbled. Mil
“Is this the only money you have sent to Milton?” Mr. Glen asked. He couldn’t believe it but what else did he expect? Of course, there is no profit from the deal between Milton and Gabe.If only Nala wasn’t helping that much at their main company, he would have asked her to come and lead here instead of Gabe who seemed to use more money than he got the company. And now, he was sure that what he did last time for their main company wasn’t the final strike for Milton. This was.“These are peanuts.” Mr. Glen said and threw the phone across the office.“Well, Dad. At least it is something, no?” “What is that supposed to be?” “You gave him my shares, plus, he has money. Getting this little doesn’t affect him in any way.” Gabe stated as a matter of fact. Mr. Glen pulled his hair, disappointed that his son wasn’t taking seriously this failure. How can he not think about the fact that Milton was working with their main company? The fact that Milton hasn’t gotten back to him as he promised
