Leaving the detective's office, Tom got a call from the Slytherin mansion, and as soon as he got the information, he turned to Oscar, "A lady is at the Slytherin mansion, and she insists on seeing you, or she won't leave." "Who is she?" Oscar asked, wondering who it was that needed his attention so desperately. "She refused to mention her name. According to him, she thinks you are inside the mansion but refusing to come out." "Oh lord, let this not be Ellen," Oscar sighed, He didn't want to imagine that the young lady was shameless enough to come to look for him at the Slytherin mansion, because she was already too shameless to make that call on Sunday which he found very irritating. "It might be, judging by her voice that I heard over the phone, she seems very desperate at this point," Tom added, and Oscar felt as if he had gotten himself into a real-life ad that he could not skip."I'll just get there and see for myself." He replied and sat back, waiting for the worse.Less
"I'm sorry if that came across to you as rude or offensive," Ellen quickly apologized, realizing that she may have gone about this the wrong way. "It did," Oscar retorted without hiding his true reaction towards her question. "What do you want?" He asked her, intending to make her go straight to the point rather than to beat around the bush for so long. With a long sigh, Ellen replied, "It's about the same thing I called you for yesterday." "Oscar, please hear me out," she pleaded upon notice that he ex husband was already fed up and was about to quit the conversation. "I am the one you are mad at, I know I am, and I am not here to beg you to take me back, but please, if you hold anything against anyone then it's me, not them." "What you are saying does not make any sense," Oscar took a sip of the wine, sat back, and crossed his legs. "You know that you are the only one who can save the Caribbean enterprise from this predicament, and I know that you don't want to ass
"That ended very quickly," Amy's voice drew Oscar's attention as soon as he walked into the house. She was seated next to the window where she had moved the curtain to the side and watched Oscar discuss with his ex-wife. "As it should," Oscar replied and joined her by the window where he looked out and saw Ellen sobbing on the table. "I'm not done with them yet." He added. "You know, if not that I had been in a marriage where I was mistreated by the family, I would have said that you should just let it go, but if there is one thing I learnt from the Slytherins, then it's that certain people need to be held accountable for their actions, and Ellen is one those," Amy explained without taking her eyes off the window. "You won't believe that she came to speak with me with a rather sassy attitude, but quickly switched to look pitiable after she saw that I wasn't giving in to nonsense." He uttered with a sigh, "Feeling entitled I see," Amy chuckled, looking away from the window to
Tuesday 5:00 a.m The occupants of the Slytherin mansion were pacing from one point to another, each one with a worried expression on their face, who could have guessed that such tragedy would hit the mansion before dawn? Oscar could barely remain calm, his whole body shook in horror and he was sweating all over from anxiety but no one was allowed into the room. Doctors and nurses troped in and out of the room at intervals and none of them answered his question. "We have the situation under control," they said, but Oscar saw bad news on their faces. He knew that something had happened to his mother that they were not telling him. Her scream was what woke him up, for her to scream so loudly to the point where he heard from his room was alarming because both their rooms were far apart from each other. Out of concern, sleep departed from his eyes and he got out of bed and out of the room, only to realise that he wasn't the only one to have heard Amy scream so loudly. Maids
Oscar's arrival at the hospital was no surprise, they already expected that he would be there in no time. However just like it was at the mansion, they didn't let him get a glimpse of Amy, nor see a doctor, so Oscar sat in the waiting areas his elbow on his knees and his head faced down. He was in this position for almost thirty minutes hoping that soon a doctor would be out of the ward and would call his attention to what was going on. Luckily, just as he had predicted, a doctor came out and saw him sitting outside just next to the ward. "Mr. Oscar?" He called and Oscar raised his head, he stood up as soon as he saw the doctor and asked, "Can I see her now?" "No, we can't let anyone in there for the time being, please come with me to the office." The doctor led the way, and Oscar being curious tried to look through the door of the ward but nothing. The glass door was way too blurry to tell what anything inside the room looked like. "Please, sit down," The doctor ushered
Returning to the mansion, Oscar realized that it was already past six a.m, he sighed heavily and threw himself back on the sofa where he prayed for sleep to take him for a few hours. The fatigue was rather surprising to him, but each time he closed his eyes, he couldn't keep them shut, mostly because he was worried and anxious, but it was the same thought that eventually knocked him out, and for the first time, he slept off on the sofa. _____ "Sir?" Oscar woke up after he was tapped several times on the arm. He saw Leo looking down on him all suited up as usual, "I slept on the couch? how embarrassing?" He thought while yawning with his hand over his mouth. "Good morning sir," Leo greeted him, and Oscar stole a glance at the clock on the wall and saw that it was past nine a.m. "I'm sorry to interrupt your sleep but you ought to have had a guest, remember Mr O'brien? he asked me to plead with you and know if it's okay to move the meeting to tonight, he said he is not coming alo
Back to Micheal, he got the message from Mr. O'Brien that the CEO of Slytherin Empire has agreed to meet with him by four p.m. and he was rather excited and anxious at the same time. The fact that it could end in disaster made him more afraid because initially, the CEO didn't want to set his eye on him. However, he planned to act as though wasn't aware that he was going to meet the CEO of Slytherin Empire and let Mr. O'Brien introduce the CEO to him. It was already twenty minutes to the time and Micheal was fully dressed in his black tuxedo, a gold wrist watch and black shoes. He wanted to look good and professional at the same time and he rehearsed every word he was going to say if meets the new CEO. "Good luck," Ellen mumbled and walked up to him from behind. Looking at the mirror in front of them, she adjusted his bow tie and smiled. "Thanks," He replied with a sigh, "I will need it. But, if it doesn't work out this way, then the smear campaign is all we have to try. At
Once the verification at the counter was completed, Oscar and his escort Tom were directed to where Mr. O'Brien was waiting for him, and as soon as he saw the man sitting opposite Mr. O'Brien, he almost wanted to turn back and leave, how could he do that now without making himself look unprofessional and rude. He paused for a second and turned to face Tom, "He is here." "Yes sir, unfortunately. " Tom replied. Oscar couldn't go back now, he gently walked up to the table and put a smile on his face, acting as though he hadn't seen Micheal. "Good day sir, you must be Mr. O'Brien?" He greeted extending his hand for a handshake. At the sight of this young man, a shiver went down Micheal's spine. He refused to imagine it once in his head that Oscar was the CEO of the Slytherin Empire because that would make no sense to him based on all he had learned so far. "Oh?" Mr. O'Brien exclaimed in shock, he had expected a man who was more than fifty years old, not a young man who could be his
