They were back in the same room he left because he thought his ideas weren’t ‘great.’ Roger Jackson controlled his urge to ask him why he was hesitating. Perhaps it was because he was here for a reason at this specific time. Perhaps he wanted to see his potential. Or maybe, he wanted to see if he learned from the failure before.Milton cleared his throat again. “Take your time, Milton.” His uncle advised.“Thank you, sir,” Milton replied.This motivated him.The visit to Milton’s old place, The Easts, provided the necessary information regarding the redevelopment plans. Milton went further and told his uncle he wished he had been there to see everyone’s well-being was catered better. Some of the grievances he heard were that some residents hated where they relocated to. His uncle replied, “I see. You can return with Aida and let them tell you where they want. You can give them your penthouse, yeah?” Milton was taken aback. Roger chuckled, “I was joking. Of course, ask them what
“Young master. This was made only for you.” Zelda said, straightening Milton’s coat.“Thank you, Zelda.” Milton turned around and stared at his clean and sharp two-piece suit. He looked dapper.On their way to the investing dinner party, Aida informed him what to expect without forgetting to remind him of his sole purpose of attending the party today. “The project manager is close to the CEO. Make sure to get on his good side. He is a prick sometimes.” Aida finished, folded the files, and handed them to Milton.He skimmed through and once he finished, he asked necessary questions he thought would come in handy.As much as he wanted to address his confusion, Milton couldn’t. There was a reason Aida’s answers were vague.Milton with Aida approached the bodyguard, he asked their names. The bodyguard was rude because after finding Milton’s name, he dismissed Milton. He didn’t even want to listen to Aida. Brianna came to their rescue and at the sight of her, the bodyguard moved away while
For some reason, everyone was quiet today. Neither Meehan nor Sarai talked rudely to him. And since it was high time he had that quietness, Milton didn’t question them. As Milton was busy daydreaming about the gorgeous lady she met at the Ever Coffee Shop, Meehan waved in front of him. “Milton, can I have a minute?” “Sure.” “I hope he won’t grill me on why I was at the party.” Milton thought as he followed outside. They entered a lift and Meehan didn’t push any buttons. “Please,” Milton begged mentally. Meehan studied him for what felt like an eternity, he was fighting the urge to ask him a million questions. He came to a consensus and shrugged. He punched the button and looked away. The lift stopped. Dominic was waiting for him. “Thank you, Meehan.” “No problem, Dominic. See you, Milton.” “What was that?” Milton asked. Before Dominic answered, Aida came to view, “Young master, my apologies for calling you out of the blue.” “No problem. Is everything okay with my uncle?”“Yes
“Mr. Jackson, once it is done, it will benefit a lot of patients.” Mr. Stone informed Milton. They were on their last round of the hospital. Unlike last time when he was a nobody, the doctors accompanying him were respectful. They showered him with praise after praise.Milton was proud of himself and he couldn’t wait to tell his uncle later on. In the lift, Mr. Stone said, “the board of members heard about the donation. A few of them would like to meet you and say thank you.”“Thank you, Mr. Stone. I will let you know.” Milton said. The lift opened, he stepped one foot outside and almost jumped when he came face to face with Samantha. “My angels must be working.” Milton thought while sending Samantha his best smile ever. Samantha greeted, “Mr. Milton. My apologies. I was to accompany you on your visit but got held.” “Miss Samantha.” The nurses bowed at her, thanked Milton, and walked away, leaving behind Mr. Stone and Milton. “Miss Samantha, is everything alright?” “Yes. Yes. Of
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
