If anyone was Roger Jackson, they would have been excited, after all, Roger did nothing all day long but sit around, boss the servants, eat, sleep, and repeat. Alas, Roger wasn’t excited about this, and his conversation with his son a night ago proved to him that if he didn’t find a way to get out of it, he would be here as long as Milton Jackson deemed okay. Since his son returned late last night accompanied by his two pals, Tiwari had already left since he was busy handling Rickie’s issues alongside Brianna, he knew this was the best time to speak with Milton. As he prepared breakfast, he thought he was being the big man here. “He should move on already.” Roger thought as he flipped the pancakes.He asked the servants this morning to go outside and catch some breeze or return to their beds if they wanted to. He wanted amble time with his nephew.All of them left without hesitation, but not Lucinda. She asked him what he thought he was doing, and only reluctantly left after Roger
“Sir, you have been postponing this meeting for the past week,” Aida said. “Send him my apologies. Or something along the line of, ‘do it or don’t. None of my business.’ Okay?” Milton replied. Milton couldn’t care less. He didn’t need the company as much as the man needed him. He hasn’t gotten all the materials he needed from him even after sending a follow-up email. If only, Milton has done enough for him, right? Between him and Milton, who was supposed to suck it up on one another? “Two can play the game.” Milton thought. Until he sent them, he would agree to meet him. How could he meet him just because he kept pestering Aida? He couldn’t even follow a simple instruction. “Sir, I read its portfolio and its presence on social media is excellent. It would be a shame for you to miss an opportunity with people like them.” Milton scoffed as he stopped. Aida hit him from behind and took a step while apologizing under her breath. Milton faced Tiwari, “and here I thought you don
“You agreed that Red Raw LTD is better than Kumande LTD. And it doesn’t matter that they have a direct connection with the government. You said it should run its course since Green Glen has been nothing but a failure.” Milton said, closing the numerous tabs on his browser. Tiwari was blinking so fast as if someone told him to do so. He did not say such a thing. He recalled their conversation was cut short. He recalled Milton choosing Red Raw LTD. He sighed exasperatedly and leaned back. His back hit the wall’s coldness and he couldn’t help but shudder. Milton was having the best time of his life. He enjoyed seeing Tiwari like this. Even if Tiwari had another reaction, Milton couldn’t choose otherwise. He had made up his mind already.“But sir, come on. I like Kumande LTD.” Tiwari cried. “Well, aren’t you being persistent today, dear?” Milton asked and began fanning the paper near Tiwari’s face. “Argh! You are impossible tonight. I shouldn’t have agreed to share the room with yo
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
