*EARLIER*Tired of waiting for Milton and Natalie’s call about Dickson’s predicament, Rickie drove to Jackson Co. Hours later, he saw Milton leaving with Red Jones. He became angrier and contemplated leaving.But before he drove away, he received a call from his father telling him Milton has been declared as the second richest man in the city. Furious, he followed Milton and Red Jones to Shiny Bun Hotel. Whilst Milton and Red were eating, Rickie pondered ways to humiliate Milton Jackson. Rickie Colton couldn’t believe how lucky Milton was. News about Milton being the second richest man was the talk of every news channel. He just brought companies that were worth million dollars. Rickie fisted his hands angrily. How could he buy the companies and be on the news while he was at a middle-level hotel like Shiny Bun Hotel eating lunch as if the world meant little to him? What made everything worse for Rickie was when he heard what company Milton brought. The Genos Corporation. Oh.
“Didn’t I tell you Troy didn’t snitch on us? Why else would he stoop as low as this only to get the public’s pity?” Bryson asked, shoving the phone back to Milton. It was a picture of Rickie from yesterday at Shiny Bun Hotel. Luckily, Milton’s image wasn’t there since Meehan had acted quickly.Milton agreed. He could hear in Bryson’s voice how important his answer meant when it came to Troy and whether he betrayed them. Bryson enthusiastically said, “thank you.” “Uncle, how are you potatoes?” Milton asked tauntingly. “It is good,” Roger replied without meeting Milton’s eyes. Tiwari and Bryson chuckled lowly.On their way to work, Tiwari informed Milton that he had a meeting with the newly appointed CEO of Jackson Inc. Milton didn’t ask why he was telling him and not Aida. At the office, Aida informed him of his day schedule and then handed him the final reports of the Easts project. It was done. And everyone had already gone through it. And if anyone asked, it was none of Milto
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
