"How's my wife and the baby? Can I go and see them now?" Chairman Lafayette asked with a hint of worry in his voice.The midwives were dumbfounded, they repeatedly kept whispering to themselves. "Yes...yes!" One of the midwives said shuttering."No sir, the mistress lost her baby!" The other said. Beads of sweat gathered on her forehead and the chairman didn't notice. The three midwives hastily left the chairman's presence. They probably have a skeleton in their cupboard.The chairman didn't hesitate as he went into the room where his wife was to see how she was fairing.When he got to the room, he was surprised to see the mistress sitting on the bed resting on the headrest while sipping the coffee.Wasn't she supposed to be feeling remorseful about the child that she lost? He felt that there was something about the midwife's attitude. The chairman didn't want to think much about it.The Mistress saw him and she quickly placed the cup on the table beside her and pretended as if she
Cyril Hospital..."You can be discharged now and besides you need to take proper good care of yourself and make you don't skip a meal." The doctor advised.Katherine with a well-relaxed face was sitting on the hospital bed comfortably as the doctor checked her body temperature."Thank you, doctor. I'm healthy now." Katherine smiled weakly with her pale lips."I'm glad you are feeling better now and besides you should acknowledge the man who never left your side while you were unconscious." A smile escaped the doctor's lips.The doctor bowed and left her alone in the ward.Katherine exhaled as she remembered that she saw Roland before she passed out again.Roland?Roland was here!Where is he now?Roland tried to recall who the other man was but she couldn't. She remembered wanting to go out with Anthony when she suddenly became dizzy.Anthony?What were Anthony and Roland both doing in her ward?They must have been worried about her.She could recall the worried look on Roland's face
"You both should quit looking at me like that. I am fine." Katherine grumped.Before they left the hospital for Katherine's parents house, the doctor gave them Katherine's medications and told her parents to keep an eye on her even though she was an adult.Anthony also followed them to Katherine's parent's house.They were currently sitting on the sofa but Katherine was absent as she was in her room sleeping."So, tell us, Anthony, why did you hang up the phone on us, besides you weren't there with Katherine when we came?" Alvira directed the question to Anthony.She was offended by his act of disrespect."Mom, I didn't mean to hang up on you. I wanted to explain things to the both of you when I meet you both in person and also I never left Katherine's side back in the hospital.""Okay, so why didn't we see you with her when we arrived at the hospital?""Mom, I went to freshen up because I've been there with her for two days." Anthony felt his hands trembling because of too much press
"Young Master, the chairman wants to announce your return to the board of directors and you're forthcoming as the CEO of L.G." The Butler informed.Roland shut down the laptop that was on his thighs and placed it on his bed."I'd like to go with him to the firm." Roland smiled excitedly. He was depleted of staying all alone with a bunch of servants in the house."And the party?" The Butler asked raising his brow."Party? What party?" Roland asked with a confused frown."I thought he must have told you. The chairman would like to throw a party regarding your return." Roland thought for a bit before responding to what the Butler said.A party?He mulled over for a while if he should acquiesce with his father's decision of throwing him a party.Roland knew it wasn't going to be any party because the mass media and newshound will be invited as well.And by that, the netizens and even the citizens would be aware of his return and he didn't want that.He didn't want to garner unwarranted a
A few hours later, Roland and his father arrived at the Lafayette Group.Before that, he told his father that he didn't want to garner unnecessary attention. His father yielded to his request.They got to the company unannounced and this time, not with a bunch of cars following them from behind."Son, I'll introduce you to the shareholders and the board of directors. They'll have to recognize you as their new CEO." The chairman have Roland a warm gesture.Roland loved the feeling he was having, he was happy to have the chairman as his father."I can't wait for that to happen, sir...I mean...dad!" Roland giggled."Don't worry, you'll get used to it." His father reassured him.They walked past the secretary and some staff and they were surprised by the Chairman's sudden visit as no one promulgated his return.The secretary recognized Roland and was surprised to see him walking gracefully beside the chairman.They used the Chairman's elevator and then got to the first floor.Chairman Laf
A man stood up from the Shareholders' group. Roland was curious to know if the man wanted to object to his reign as the CEO.The chairman saw how nervous Roland was as he gave him a reassuring look."Speak up!" The chairman demanded as the man hesitated for a while before he said something."I don't want to object to his reign as the CEO but..." The man paused for a while as he gazed at everyone present.He was short of words, this act of his made the Chairman furious.The woman beside him urged him to say something because it was against the rule to keep the Chairman waiting.They saw the cold glares of the chairman and the man sat as he waved off his words, giggling."And who said you could sit?" The chairman asked angrily. His voice echoed in the large meeting room.The man quietly stood up with his trembling feet. His colleagues pitied him.He shouldn't have to stand up in the first place.Just what was he thinking?"Sir...sir!" The man became null and speechless.His throat got d
"Young Master, who did this to you?" The Butler asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone.The chairman was in his study, while they were in Roland's room."I got beaten by someone who I don't seem to remember," Roland said as he fizzled out in despair.His cheeks hurt badly."We'll send the men to uncover who the man is but before then, I'll go inform the chairman." The Butler was about to leave when Roland held his arm, halting his steps."I don't want to trouble father not now that I'm still making an effort to please him." Roland removed his hand from the old man's arm as he fell on his bed, facing the awning."But he has to know." The Butler said in a whisper."He doesn't have to know and I'll be indoors for some days. As you can see my mouth is swollen." Roland indicated the left side of his cheek which was swollen because of the several punches he received."What should I tell him then?""Just tell him I'm sick, that I'll be okay." Roland finally said before shutting his eyes.T
Anthony!Roland didn't ponder much about it.His lips twitched in a smirk as he didn't want to do anything rash.All he needed was to get some words out of Anthony's mouth.Anthony was enjoying his beer as he ordered more bottles.Roland played smart with him as he told Anthony that he'll pay for his treats."Don't worry nigga. You can drink as you want, I'll pay up your bills." Roland smirked behind the mask."I'm not some beggar, you know." He gulped one shot of the beer in one go as he wiped off the particles from his mouth."I know but I insist." Roland chuckled as he tried to act nice to Anthony.Anthony didn't say anything much as he yielded to Roland's request.He drank until he became tipsy.When Roland saw Anthony's condition, a satisfactory smile played on his lips. "You man, you are a kind foreigner...I...owe...you one." Anthony had several hiccups while he spoke because he was tipsy."Indeed you do owe me one explanation." Roland shifted his gaze away from him.He called
