“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
Throughout the journey, Lucinda and Tiwari saw a different side of Milton Jackson. He was carefree and answered all the questions they were always scared to ask. Today, Milton answered all of them without asking many of his own about himself and his parents. He opened up like a flower in the morning at the sight of the sun. Even as he answered them about his life at the orphanage, he selected the good memories he had. He told them about their visitors. He told them how glad he was whenever someone met the people who would adopt him. By the time the pilot told them they were about to land, Tiwari and Lucinda wanted to scream at the pilot.Milton ensured Lucinda was okay and she had no back pains. He pestered her to the point Lucinda joked, “if you must know, I was an olympian back in the day. I am stronger than you.” “Okay,” Milton replied. “What about me? I wasn’t aware of this plan. This is the second time we are here without prior notice.” Tiwari complained. “Oh, hush. Follow
On the way back, Lucinda felt that Milton was hiding something. Of course, she wasn’t complaining about their little trip to Kipindi Rural or the fact she was the only one in the house Milton had been taking out. Lucinda didn’t like that she was in the dark. And if Milton wasn’t going to tell her why he brought her a dress, took her to Kipindi Rural in the name of vacation, and took her to Genos Hotel and the Moonlight Restaurant, she would force it out of him. Milton saw her eyes on him through the corner of his eyes, she was beginning to be skeptical and it was time he got the truth out instead of hesitating. Sooner or later, Milton was going to talk to her. But it wasn’t that easy, he didn’t want Lucinda to think he has been bribing her. “Okay, your eyes on each other are creeping me out. Profess your love to one another before I puke.” Tiwari said, then removed his tongue outside as someone who was about to puke. “Tell me about your day, Lucinda,” Milton said, looking deeply
Bryson and Natalie picked up where they left off. Bryson saw a new side of Natalie she rarely shows anyone. She was kind and caring. She was silent and resourceful. And this was proof enough of why he wanted to run to Milton and told him he was right when he selected her. He wanted to tell everyone that although most of the time she was causing chaos and insulting Milton, she was helping one of Milton’s company, alot!She left to refill their glasses and when she returned, she found Bryson on the phone with the CEO of a contracting company at Purple City. He was a friend of Bryson who was looking for an investor, and since this was the first time he would try to work on something he selected, he wanted it to be perfect. He didn’t want to leave any room for guesses. Bryson planned on covering all the bases such that when he approached Milton, it would be perfection. He smiled at Natalie. Finishing the call, he gathered the materials they have been using and asked Natalie, “do you
Stretching, Milton’s eyes bulged when he saw what time it was. He came one hour ago since he couldn’t sleep. He was disturbed by what Lucinda tried so hard to hide but her eyes told him everything. Sighing, Milton decided to speak to his uncle. After all, he was the only one who would tell him the truth. After, he planned to focus only on preparing for his revelation party. “Milton, why are you awake?” Tiwari inquired, still dressed in his sharp suit like during the day. Milton’s hand hung in the air as he studied Tiwari. “I want to speak to my uncle. Why are you awake? Are you okay? Is everything okay?” Milton asked, concerned. “Of course. I was coming to you anyways. I and your uncle called but you were not picking up. I just dropped him at his friend’s party. It was an impromptu meeting that he couldn’t miss. I hope you understand.” Tiwari said, nodding towards Milton’s bedroom door. Milton left his phone inside his bedroom, well, not that there was anyone who would call hi
The lack of Roger Jackson was beginning to be a problem and Milton didn’t like a minute of it. You might think the employees were friends with him. If Milton didn’t know better, he might have accused Roger of speaking to them behind his back. Nonetheless, he didn’t let their talk worsen his mood. Tiwari narrowed his eyes at the employees inside the lift, and they gave him a strange expression.Tiwari practically shoved the employees out of the lift the moment it stopped. Ascending, he grabbed Milton’s arms, “I never get you. We should have used the executive lift.”“Something tells me my reply won’t do shit,” Milton replied, trying hard not to tell Tiwari he was getting angrier too.“Well, we will make them know who you are.” Tiwari’s responded curtly. Milton nodded. Earlier, on the way back from East National Prison to Jackson Co., Milton received a call from Bryson, claiming he had some new report to tell him and if he didn’t mind, he should drop by. Seeing how Bryson has been b
