“Young man, who are you to tell me you can’t buy it? I am the ‘city mom’. Hey. Look at me when I am talking.” Miss Ramona screamed at the top of her lungs. Milton was very tempted to cover his ears. Making eye contact with the woman, he moved away, her saliva splattered on his face. Seriously, how close did she want to get to him? He was regretting agreeing to meet this woman. Earlier, Milton was in a meeting with the marketing team alongside Simone. She was here about marketing the Warren Agency. Milton called the marketing team to help. Thirty minutes into the meeting, Aida called that a woman wanted to meet Milton. If Milton knew the nuisance was Miss Ramona, he wouldn’t have agreed to this.And now, here she was, without a prior arrangement, and instead of being respectful for barging into his office, he was practically forcing Milton to buy her company. From what he read yesterday after he left the casino with Meehan, he couldn’t risk buying a company like The Ramona Enterpr
This day was getting worse. Earlier, he was fighting the urge to cover his ears, and now, he was fighting to keep his eyes open. Mr. Glen was talking and talking. Not giving him a chance to tell him that he wasn’t buying what he was selling. When Milton agreed to offer him money in return for getting shares in his company, he didn’t think it would be a door for Mr. Glen to propose plans for their future projects. Seriously, the supply to East National Prison was ongoing, and if it weren’t for him, it would have failed. Hell, Gabe has been a no-show, and Tiwari was helping with the exportation, and what? Another project? Either Mr. Glen was stupid or he thought Milton was stupid. Milton regretted not going out with Aida to take lunch. His intestines were eating each other. Thankfully, his stomach hasn’t embarrassed him. “Sir, isn’t that amazing?” Mr. Glen asked. Milton almost facepalmed. Of course not! Not in a million years! He wasn’t going to accept it. Milton would have give
Natalie couldn’t miss the party even if her job was on the line. She hurriedly assembled the papers she was working on and shoved them to the guy who she hasn’t cared to catch his name. Her heels echoed throughout the office as she walked to Meehan’s office. She already had a perfect plan. A perfect lie. And since she was a pathological liar, it wasn’t going to take long.Knock! Knock!“Come in,” Meehan called.The smile dropped when he saw who it was. Since they both began working here, he could count on one hand how many times their conversation has ended on a good note. Whilst Meehan wanted Natalie to let go of her attitude, Natalie thought Meehan was a snob.“Sir, I would like to leave today early. I have done my assignment and it would be submitted alongside the others at the end of the business hours. Thank you for understanding.” Natalie spoke elegantly and someone might think she was being respectful. She was being rude as she turned around and walked out of the office. Mee
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.
