The email calling for an impromptu meeting caught the investors off guard. And those who were in the city promised to attend.Alas, when they arrived, they wished they didn’t. They should have been out with their side chicks and some of them somewhere flaunting their wives. The new prison warden learned something. Yes, the one who was vetted and employed by Trevor Genos had been fired, because, why not?The previous warden was easy to push around and there was a high chance if someone realized what the Jacksons did, he would start singing kumbaya, something Milton didn’t want. Milton was the one who asked Trevor to ensure the last one was fired before his departure.Since Milton has nothing going on in the prison, and he didn’t see himself investing in any company supplying goods to the prison, he didn’t care who was employed.Now, he wished he had. As much as he didn’t want to worry, he was. Because even though the other investors were bored out of their minds learning why they wer
Since Milton and Meehan’s lunch didn’t happen last time, they figured it would be better to do it today and Aida was more than welcome. Natalie had been sitting outside for the past one hour while waiting for Aida and after realizing Aida was inside the office, laughing, she realized it was lunchtime and it wouldn’t be fair disrupting them. However, the countless laughter from inside frustrated her. Natalie knocked whilst they were laughing at a reel Meehan has showed them.Wiping his hands with the paper towel, Meehan asked, “Miss Natalie, have you taken lunch? There is enough here for all of us.” Aida and Milton stared at each other and cracked up. Emotions passed through Natalie’s face faster and then disappeared. If Milton and Aida hadn’t been still laughing, they would have noticed. Freely, Meehan pulled Natalie to the couch, grabbed the files she had, and handed her some fries. “Come on, eat.” Natalie ate, sparing a glance at Aida and Milton who hadn’t looked at her even
“I will go on this ridiculous vacation on one condition,” Roger said, leaning backward.“Dad, I don’t think you have an option here,” Bryson stated, walking towards his father with calculated moves.Two hours later, Bryson, Tiwari, and Brianna realized Roger wasn’t going to change his mind. This was bad.“It is not like you can drag me there, is it?” Roger asked, smiling triumphantly.“Oh. Hush you.” Bryson said and walked out of the room, Tiwari narrowed his eyes at Roger while Brianna’s face was unreadable.“You must inform Milton,” Brianna said on their way out of the mansion.“Tell Milton what?” Natalie asked.“Oh. Gracious.” Brianna muttered. She hadn’t seen her in a while, she has forgotten she was still there.They arrived outside and Brianna asked Tiwari what they should do about Natalie. Tiwari shook his head and said, “we will let Milton decide.” “This means we should let him know about the plan, right?” Bryson asked from behind.“Stop sneaking from behind,” Brianna whispe
Sooner or later, she had to accept it was her fault and no one was to blame. Hell, shouldn’t she be grateful that Milton was kind enough to open his door for her? Looking back, from the moment Milton began opening up to her, he wasn’t unclear at all. He didn’t let his hands wander. His eyes didn’t linger in inappropriate places. Milton carried himself with utter respect.Those signs had been clear. For Milton, he needed a crying shoulder. And she was the perfect person for that because once upon a time, they spoke of their dreams and vision. Things changed, big time. Her dream came through. What about his? Theirs? As a bright young lady, she knew for Milton, it wasn’t working out. If only she had been patient, she would have learned deeply about it. But no, she went ahead and asked him, again!She wanted more. More which Milton wouldn’t offer. Although she was his supporter, it didn’t mean he would tell her everything. Natalie knew sooner or later she had to wake up from the dream
Malicious comments were always Natalie’s cup but these days, she found them tormenting and disgusting.Genevieve could see how she was reacting, and since she didn’t want any drama, she wrapped her arms around Natalie’s shoulders and urged her to keep walking.Things were not going great both at the Jackson Inc. and Warren Agency.Gabe Glen has been nothing but a nuisance, and Genevieve had no choice but to come here to meet Milton so they would find a way of solving it.They bumped into Simone and Genevieve let go of Natalie, “good morning, Miss Simone.” Genevieve greeted.“Hey, Genevieve. Natalie.” Simone glanced behind them and saw the employees staring at them. “The boss isn’t happy at all,” Genevieve commented and the two ladies only hummed.When they entered the office, Natalie almost returned and asked the employees if they had seen Milton. When Genevieve said the boss wasn’t happy, Natalie thought he was just angry.But no, Milton was furious. And clearly, it was for the best
They didn’t need a body language expert to see that something was amiss between Milton and his bodyguards. Unfortunately, this wasn’t useful.As much as anyone could see that Milton was fighting with his lead man, AKA, Tiwari, the pictures showed Tiwari was ready for anything if anyone came at Milton. He would fight to the death if he had to.His previous trials have failed miserably and it was high time he let go and perhaps, through miracles, he would get into Milton’s life. Rickie didn’t try to get anywhere closer to Milton unless it was vital like on events and all that.The pictures changed to Milton speaking to Bryson and they seemed to be arguing and when it showed Brianna and Tiwari staring at the two of them speaking, Rickie groaned painfully.Something was going on and if only he knew what it was, he would find a way into their lives.“Dad, what now? Please don’t tell me you want me to be a sucker like you because I won’t. Remember, you brought me into this and I am not lea
Ahem.This caught the employees’ attention. Natalie couldn’t miss this opportunity to rush out of there. Before Milton would think of following her, Tiwari grabbed his arm and held it tightly.“What is the meaning of this?” Asked Genevieve. One of the employees gave her his phone while looking down, shaken. But, if anyone asked, they were not embarrassed at all. Or shaken that the boss has caught them idling around.Genevieve moved closer to Milton so he could also watch the video. By the time it ended, even if Tiwari searched for chains and put Milton down, he would still find a way to go for Natalie.It was a clip of the time Natalie had invited Milton to the party in college. And there it was, Natalie, shaming the living life out of Milton. Milton looked devastated. As if he didn’t belong.Dickson’s hand was around Natalie’s waist and he was smiling triumphantly, enjoying Milton’s predicament. Some of the employees have seen Dickson before and they knew this wasn’t one of the fake
Milton entrusted Tiwari to handle the whole situation and put it to complete rest, forever. He didn’t think too deeply of the possibility it was someone in his inner circle, after all, he had planned on Rickie Colton. He was absent-minded most of the morning and luckily, he only had a meeting with Red Jones who called earlier on and said he would drop by.He was thankful Aida didn’t take any meetings because he wouldn’t concentrate on any of them.At the end of the day, Milton Jackson finally decided what to do. He would risk everything and hopefully, it wouldn’t return to bite him in the ass.With Tiwari busy in the office, Milton called Brianna and asked her to drive him to where Rickie was. Brianna hesitated at first, “I don’t think this is a good idea, sir.”“I don’t remember asking for your opinion. Brianna. Just drive.” “Okay. Let me inform Tiwari then.” “And here I thought you work for me.” Brianna chuckled dryly and nodded at Milton to follow her. They went to the parking
