Meehan and Audrey interrupted Milton while he was reading the documentation on mergers and acquisitions. “Milton, we have been looking for you.” Said Meehan while eyeing the papers in Milton’s hand.“How may I help you?” Milton asked boldly. Whenever they were tasked with an assignment like acquiring a company, Manager Haniel always gave his team time to prepare. “Audrey doesn’t want to accompany you. I will do it instead.” Meehan said. “Sure,” Milton replied. Audrey clicked and left. What did she think? Milton was going to scream bloody murder and beg her to stay with him? He was going to get the company, no matter what it took. “I will hail a cab,” Milton said, raising his arm. “Young master, what are you doing?” Dominic asked, smiling weirdly at Meehan. “Follow us if need be,” Milton said.“Sir, are you planning on getting us fired?” “Of course not. I am with Meehan.” Milton said and hoped Dominic understood. “I won’t tell if you guys don’t.” Dominic, Findley, and Gio didn
Two hours later, Milton and Warren stood in front of the staff. Milton announced, “your apologies are well received.” They sighed in relief. Milton was going to buy the Warren Agency and Warren Corporation.Milton shook hands with Warren and smiled at him. In less than two hours, Milton discovered so much about Warren and why he was selling the companies. However, he didn’t elaborate on the reasons he didn’t give the company to Bryson.The staff’s phones chimed, and their eyes widened after they read. They stared at Milton and at once, as if robots, they bowed. Dickson and Natalie were confused. From the corner of his eyes, Milton saw Samantha and Rickie speaking in hush tones. “What are they doing here?” Milton wondered.Samantha was here to see Warren, while Rickie came after his brother informed him Milton was here talking with Warren. Unfortunately, he was too late because Milton already got the company. “You,” Rickie said, pushing past Samantha. Samantha ran after him. “How da
“Dear orphan cousin, swallow your ego and apologize. Then apologize to me too. How dare you take the company?” Bryson yelled. “Dad was going to give it to me, you stupid inconsiderate man. I knew you were just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Your true colors have begun showing. “Bryson, not now.” He tossed him aside. “Zelda, please rectify your mistake, tell them the truth. I didn’t try to force myself on you. I will never do something like that.” Scarlett finally spoke, “Young masters, it is better if you leave now.” Dominic, Troy, Gio, and Findley sighed. Dominic told Milton it was for the better and off they returned to the mansion. On the way back, Milton repeatedly told Dominic he didn’t do it. Meanwhile, Roger Jackson and Brianna were in the office. Brianna was informing him of the latest development. However, it was cut short when Gianna called Brianna and informed her of what happened at the shooting range.“Sir, we have a problem,” Brianna said. They left for the server room
Milton finished the last proposal he had been reading for the past hour. Everything was splendid. From the product selection to the targeted market. He couldn’t help but wonder why all this time, the proposals were untouched. “For the love of craps, what the hell are you doing here?”“This is the family’s study. I can be here when I want.”“No. It doesn’t work that way. One person at a time. Get lost, asshole.”Milton swirled his chair around. Bryson’s hair was disheveled. His eyes were bloody red. He looked exhausted. Milton’s eyes went to the clock above the door. “Are you okay?”Instead of answering, Bryson slapped the papers from Milton’s hands. They splattered all over the study room. Milton picked them while wondering why his cousin despised him that much. Wasn’t family supposed to love you dearly even though you didn’t know each other a few moments ago? He has been nothing but good. Hell, he didn’t throw tantrums after Uncle Rogers and Bryson played him. “You want a study r
Whoever was behind everything that have occured unashamedly showed Brianna that she had gotten lazy with her work. Young Master Milton was in deep trouble.As much as she wanted the video to appear magically so she would watch it again, she knew that wasn’t going to happen. Come sun, come rain. Unless the sender decides to send it again.The issues with Zelda and Marielle were handled, with the latter having worked with the Jacksons for over a decade, knowing the secrets deeply buried in the Jacksons’ mansion, and being great at her job, Brianna had to give them a lighter punishment.The Jacksons were not going to sue them for defamation. They had learned their lessons. The mother and the daughter from now on wouldn’t think of thinking ridiculous plan as framing young master Milton.Brianna wanted a repeat of that. She wanted someone to jump at Milton screaming bloody murder that he has messed up. But that wasn’t happening and as a tech guru like her, she knew this was her current pro
Chapter Forty Milton held Samantha as she cried her eyes out. She couldn’t go to Warren since they had decided on what to do. She couldn’t do that to Warren. Neither could she go to her brother since she heard he was hunting her down. So, for now, Milton’s arms were her safe space. Milton’s mind was jumbled. He wanted to return to the college and be bullied. To wash houses and be pushed down. To scrub the toilets and later on sleep knowing he has been paid for his hard work. No one told him having money and being surrounded by rich people was work itself. This was too much. Little did he know this was just the beginning. Samantha agreed to the arranged marriage and soon, they were going to tie the knot. Once she was a member of the Jacksons, she would face her brother and apologize. Or so she thought. She recalled seeing her father agitated. But that was how he had been, always. She regretted not asking him. “Milton. My heart is breaking.” She bawled. Milton wiped her che
Chapter Forty-OneBrianna was known as the queen of multitasking. But not now. Inside, she was dying. She couldn’t believe she let the bodyguards man Milton after the recent events.Ten minutes later, she phoned Roger Jackson, “Sir, the lawyers have finished drawing up the contract.”“Take it to her and send me a copy.” Ordered Roger Jackson.“Sir, can’t someone else take it? I should check on Dominic and ask if they have found young master.”“Miss Brianna, come find me after you have met Samantha. If you return without a signature, you will be dead before you set your eyes on me. Are we clear?” Roger dodged the question. “What if she disagrees to sign, sir?” “That is a you problem.”Click.Brianna went with Gio to the hospital. She opened her tablet, hoping she would find a message that they have found Milton.No one has seen him yet. Her heart sank. She felt helpless. She didn’t want to find Samantha to sign the papers. She wanted to find the young master.“Gio, the sooner I get t
“Have you seen the new CEO?”“He is mysterious.” “He is intimidating.” “No one has seen him.” “No one knows his identity.”Those were the answers the employees at Jacksons Inc. gave one another in their inquiry about the new CEO.It has been three weeks, and Milton was back at his feet. His uncle gave him the Jacksons Inc. as a gift for his marriage.Furthermore, Milton earned it. As his uncle claimed.However, Milton was surprised that he wasn’t given the Jacksons Co. when that was been the agreement from the beginning. Unfortunately, with the original video still at large, Milton didn’t have the luxury of being picky.He should be thankful, right?Today was the first day of Milton working here and he hasn’t met the employees yet. They were informed the previous day of the new change and it was why they were dying to know who it was.“Brianna, you don’t have to explain everything to me,” Milton repeated for the hundredth time. And again, for the hundredth time, Brianna shook her head
