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

I waited patiently for her to speak up but she didn't and I grew impatient."Grace, don't make my thoughts wander too far." I stated."Um..Mr Thomas you won't remember but there was a time in the past when I told you to help me and call my cell phone because I don't know where I kept it when we were in the kitchen." Grace began to tell me how she got my number. "You were eating your breakfast and you helped me call my phone number..well that is how I got your number." She revealed."Oh I don't remember such an event happening." I sighed In relief,her explanation was reasonable .Grace was the one always giving me breakfast to eat so I was sure something like this must have happened but I didn't remember when."Well you won't remember because it has been like 2 years or so." Grace said softly."Wait, you saved my number from 2 years ago?" I was surprised by her revelation."Um..yes." She hummed in reply. "I just saved the number in case I needed to call you. I haven't had any t

Waking up the next morning knowing that everything was going according to my plan, I felt suddenly rejuvenated with a bright smile on my face. I was still that exhausted no doubt but the happiness and accomplishment I just got made me extremely happy that I was sure I wanted to go to work today.At least now I was sure that I would be able to accomplish something before the 6 months that Oliver gave me expired.I don't think I want to see Oliver's nasty side because he acts braze at times.Even though CEO Derrick told me to stay at home I needed to go see him.I got up from the bed, ran myself a bath and took a really long refreshing bath. I wasn't actually going to work. I just wanted to go to work and see CEO Derrick Paul and celebrate our little victory and maybe come back home.This was worth celebrating given the sleepless nights I had.I stepped out of the bathtub after what felt like the most refreshing bath I have ever had.I wiped my body with a towel ,took a rob

Chapter 138: Epilogue.
A YEAR LATER Thomas's POV I was in my office looking over some files when I stopped to suddenly stare at the picture frame of Grace and I on my desk. She told me to keep it in my office so she could brighten my day anytime I felt weak. Remembering her words made a smile form on my lips. I was glad I met Grace and I was even more glad to have her as my girlfriend. She did more for me than I asked of her and she never expected me to do anything in return, that was how she showed me she loved me. Even if meeting Natalia made me go through hardships at least I met Grace and I would never want to change the past if it meant not meeting Grace again, that was how much she meant to me. Life takes drastic turns now and then all we need to do is brace up for the impact. That's what I did and I was glad I have gotten to this point where I feel confident and loved. I finally got the company back to its former glory and I told Mr Gabriel and Logan that this was what they couldn't do. Mr

Chapter 137: Two months later.
Grace's POVI was off work today so I decided to pay Thomas a visit.Thomas has asked me to come and work for him in his company and I refused because I don't think I will concentrate on work if I see him everyday, but I guess I will change my mind in the future.Mr Gabriel's company that Thomas now owns, I refer to it as his second company , Thomas's second company has few workers now because Thomas was firing most of them and rehiring.He was doing such a fine job handling two companies with small branches.I came here very early and I brought breakfast for Thomas because I know he is a workaholic and might forget to eat breakfast at times.I was free to love around now since I haven't heard from Timothy, my crazy ex boyfriend but I was careful and mindful of my surroundings.I walked into the company building. I greeted the security guards and I saw one person that made me smirk.I don't know when I started turning evil. I think Thomas has influenced me.I saw Natalia mopping the

I don't understand why she was dressed so tattered and her hair was messy but I didn't bother asking.I told her to come to the company tomorrow.The company that I bought from Mr Gabriel, workers were lacking. At least she can keep the place clean before I get it back to a better position, if she does a bad job I will fire her.After e

Chapter 135: Job.
Natalia's POVI was just standing and staring at Thomas and Grace as If I had seen a ghost.What's going on here?Why were they giggling as Grace wrapped her hand more tightly around Thomas's waist.There were two bodyguards behind them and I was just rooted to the spot not understanding what I was seeing.Grace suddenly turned to me with a smile."Natalia, shouldn't you start working you know you don't have all day, I think you know where the mop is, if you do a good job here he might offer you a better job." Grace said with a sweet smile and for the first time her smile sent shivers down my spine.Grace never fakes a smile but this time I don't understand why this smile made me uncomfortable."Grace, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.I was only planning on seeing Thomas here and I wanted to talk to him,there was no way he would see me in this bad state and not help me."I thought you were going to do your job immediately when you came here, I didn't think you would be

Natalia's POVI was laying down on my bed, thinking about what to do next.Everyone in the house was acting so strange, and since Grace left I have been the one doing the house chores because the other maid left as well.Dad said he didn't have enough money to pay her or hire a new maid for now so I was stuck with doing house chores.Who would have imagined that I would be doing house chores now, how low I have fallen but who was I to complain since Mom that didn't work started cooking as well, I didn't know that my mother knew how to cook because I can't remember the last time she cooked anything for us to eat.Mom and Dad, I think they have reconciled.The drivers have stopped coming to work, so when Dad and Logan want to go to work Logan drives the car.It has gotten to such a bad point.I sighed in exhaustion, I didn't know that just doing house chores can be this exhausting.I really miss having someone to do these things for me.But it was only a matter of time and everything wo

Chapter 132: Grace's family.
Thomas POVI was curiously waiting to see who just walked in."I am home." The female voice announced as she walked into the living room and I turned to look at her.He was carrying a backpack so I would only assume that this was Grace's last sibling."Good afternoon mom, " she greeted her mom with a smile."Good afternoon… who are you?" She asked when her eyes landed on me."Jane, behave yourself,it's Grace's boyfriend." Her mother scolded her.I don't actually see anything wrong with what she asked, since she saw a strange man in their living room.Her eyes immediately lit up as she smiled and ran up to."Brother Thomas?" She asked curiously as she sat beside me on the couch."Yes." I smiled and she giggled."What took you so long to come to our house? I have wanted to meet you for a long time." She pouted."You wanted to see him for a long time, did you get to know him first?" Grace's Mom asked Jane who giggled."It's a secret." Jane said as she winked at her mother."Brother Thoma

He asked."I did nothing wrong besides many of them wanted to buy your company and not help you,you know that right?" I asked him and he seemed to calm down."Besides, I was repaying you back for what you did." I said."What did I do?" He asked innocently."I knew you were the one bad-mouthing me to my business partners." I said and his eyes widened."Well it doesn't matter anymore since I have paid back your family half of the rage I feel." I said."Half? what more are you going to do to my family,we have nothing now?" He asked me with disbelief written all over his face."Haven't you taken your revenge already, I knew someone was asking people not to help me, it was you all along." Mr Gabriel said as he fell backwards and his body slammed on the couch."You are smarter than I think." I smirked at him.He sighed and looked away."Just leave, I can't fight wit

Thomas's POVMr Gabriel sighed."Did you ever think you would be kneeling down before someone you called a waste of space?" I asked him sarcastically and his shoulders dropped in defeat."You should stand up and sit down,my lawyer is coming in to finalize the deal of buying your company and mansion. If you need your lawyer present, call him." I told him."Mr Gabriel, did you hear me?" I asked as he was silent."Why are you doing this to me?" He asked with a small voice."You can blame your daughter for bringing me into your family by sabotaging my scholarship to a good university." I told him and he looked at me with teary eyes.Was I supposed to pity him?"Call your lawyer I don't have all day."
