Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 14: He was waiting for my call.
I don't think I had the strength to clean this mess up. Where was I even going to start? Even after leaving Natalia she still wants to frustrate my life. How did she even know that the CCTV camera in our store was not working? She went as far as investigating where I was working. I was tired of being pushed to the wall. I called my boss and explained what happened to him and I put a closed sign in front of our door and waited for his arrival. My boss took about an hour to come back to the store and seeing the state his store was in started yelling and asked why I didn't call the police. But when I opened the cash register and showed him the money and told him what transpired here he shut his mouth as if he understood what happened. It seemed as if he knew already that this would happen but was shouting just to put on a show. My Boss told me he got a call earlier from a lady and muttered something under his breath then told it it was alright and I suspected it was Natalia that

I cleared my throat. He was expecting my call yet he didn't say anything about that the last time we spoke with each other."I am sorry that I didn't call sooner because I was facing circumstances beyond my control." I apologized."Oh there's nothing wrong with that, I was just waiting patiently. I guess that my patient paid off." Oliver replied."How are you?" I asked because I didn't know what to say, I wanted to ask for his help but I couldn't just say that right away without asking about his well-being."Get straight to the point Thomas I hope you didn't call me to have mundane talk ?" He asked impatiently.So much for being a patient man."Oliver, I'm glad that you answered the call, I need your help." I said,going straight to the point as he requested.It just felt weird asking someone I barely know for help out of the blues. " Oh... how do you need my help?" He asked right away."I got divorced. I can't go into the details but Natalia wants to make my life unbearable so it wo
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 16: Job interview.
The atmosphere in the living room was tense for a split second then Oliver suddenly chuckled."Oh I got you good Thomas looks at that look on your face,I am just kidding." He waves his hands dismissively at his earlier words.As if I would buy it.Oliver isn't the type that jokes around and I would hold each word he says to me to heart." Don't worry about silly Natalia I am sure she won't be bothering you for the meantime since she's going to have her hands filled with work stuff soon and be sure to take notice of your environment so you won't be followed back here and cover blown." Oliver advised with a small smile."Thank...." "And don't thank me ." He cut me off."I will be the one thanking you if you do what I want and I have high hopes that you won't disappoint me and don't let me down Thomas a lot is riding on you." He cut me off."Don't contact me again till 6 months unless it's critical and can't be avoided. Do you understand Thomas?" He asked and I nodded."Yes I understand
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 17: Cheers to a new beginning.
I do recall Ceo Derrick Paul sending me an email asking to meet me in person years back and I refused because I was trying to get settled down in Natalia's family house. Sometimes I felt as if I was being followed by the spy's Natalia Father assigned just for me and didn't want to get Natalia into trouble back then by going to another company.It would seem suspicious.Mr. Gabriel, Natalia's father might think I was trying to get info about his company and feed it to another company because they were not in a good place during that period and her Father wasn't fond of her then and was looking for a way to toss her out of the house.But now she's suddenly Daddy's girl because she was giving suggestions that were bringing in money.I snapped out of my thoughts when I remembered I was with CEO Derrick and he was reading my every move and appearance. I could tell he knew I was spacing out.I cleared my throat to ease some of the tension I felt because even though he welcomed me with ope
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 18: Disaster
CEO Derrick Paul seemed to be in thoughts for a while before he spoke again."What position would you like in the company?" He asked me with a meaningful look.I was taken aback by his question because I just came to be a normal employee."I didn't come here to take anybody's position away from them. I can just be a normal office worker for now. I just need to be here because I noticed that the company finance was falling right ?" I asked."Always observate,how do you manage to know about being a businessman this well?" CEO Derrick asked.I took out my file I was holding and dropped it on his table and pushed it towards him."Even though I haven't worked in the field physically, I know about being a businessman because I went to an online business school,it's in my file." I told him.He dropped his cup of coffee, opened the file, went through it, smiled and dropped it back on the table."You even went to business school. That's great even if it's online it's still the same thing nowad
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 19: He isn't bothered.
CEO Derrick Paul didn't pay any mind to me as I walked into his office but I could hear the sound of the game he was playing coming from his phone as he had a small frown on his face.I wondered if I was suddenly hallucinating.Did depriving myself of sleep cause me to see things out of the ordinary.Is he playing video games when his company is in chaos?Isn't he too old to be playing video games?"What no!no ! No! Come on! what's this nonsense stupid game!" He suddenly shouted in frustration as he sighed dramatically."I hit his chin and he flew up, how didn't he die?" He asked rhetorically to no one in particular."Tck." He clicked his tongue then he turned to me and a bright smile formed on his face as he saw the bewildered look on my face."Thomas you came,this silly computer killed me in a game can you believe it?" He complained."I was expecting you later, not now,do you want something from me?" He asked with raised eyebrows.Do I need something from you?Are you serious right
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 20: Trust.
I don't think I was ready to hear stories like this,coming out of my marriage with Natalia hurt me a lot and I can't imagine what CEO Derrick Paul must have gone through when something even worse happened to him." Since I couldn't give my late wife all she wanted, she went to another man that could give her the luxurious life she dreamed of and sent me a text saying she will take the kids along with her. It was after their death that I saw the text." He sighed and paused and adjusted his tie.It seemed as if he felt suffocated recalling this memory." My late wife's lover had planned a trip for her with my kids like a family,because according to my ex wife I promised but I couldn't provide it and the accident occured on their way to the airport to meet her lover…" He pauses to laugh.It was more like a dry laugh and I think he was trying to cover up the hurt evident in his voice.How could his late wife do something like this?I didn't know how to console him and I didn't i
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 21: Grace
After having my meal I took my phone,sat on the couch and made myself comfortable as I was browsing through my old messages.If I suspect it correctly I know that Grace may try to contact me.I'm not sure she was working that day at Mr. Gabriel's house the day they drove me out. I don't have her number to contact her but I'm sure she will have her ways to text me.All the messages that I received from unknown numbers were starting from why haven't you returned?Gosh! Natalia can't you just give up.I got tired at one point but a message caught my attention."Thomas, how are you?" I could see the beginning of the message so I opened it."Thomas how are you?I heard what happened when I came to work two days later after the incident and I tried calling with my sister's number and the number got blocked after my first call. I hope you get this message in good health. Please take care of yourself and don't fail to contact me if you need any help...Grace." The text message ended.The
