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
I think CEO Derrick seemed to notice how I tensed up awaiting his answer and he smirked."I told them the truth that the idea came from one of the shareholders as well that being you, I don't take credit for the work of another man that's just shallow." He smiled.Now I know this man is just simply amazing.I don't know that such good people that had respect for someone else's hard work still exist."Thank you sir." I said in relief.I wanted to gain the trust of the shareholders of the company and this was a good start."Besides I wanted you to gain acknowledgement from the shareholder and other important personnel." Ceo Derrick revealed."We will be having a dinner meeting tomorrow evening and I will officially introduce them to you. We also have gotten more investors in our company. I am just glad that this is working out well." He informed me."It will be an honor to go for the dinner please take care of me sir." I informed him and he nodded happily."Since you have taken
The dinner meeting ended and I was still in shock.It was about 7 p.m. when we finished greeting everyone and headed into our CEO Derrick Paul car.Even as we got into the car I was still thinking,I was sitting with CEO Derrick Paul in the back seat."Are you okay Thomas?" CEO Derrick Paul asked and my attention turned to him."Why did you do that?" I questioned.CEO Derrick had already let me know before we came to the dinner meeting that the men that were at the dinner meeting were their shareholders and important people who had their own companies that wanted to invest in us.These are important men and he can't retract his words if he wanted to."Because I know it's the best thing to do for the company." He replied."But you never informed me about this ,we were together two days ago and you never informed me even before we left for the dinner meeting." I said."Thomas, didn't I tell you that I wanted to retire?" He asked nonchalantly."But that doesn't mean you have to do that so
Oliver helped me last time I asked and now I actually feel like a leech with the way he was reacting.I was thinking of telling him that I will give him two times the money he invested as a thank you aside from other money he will get from being a shareholder but I think he won't agree to that."Sorry I guess I misunderstood and spoke out of line,I am really grateful, thank you Oliver for the help you have shown me this far." I managed to smile despite him glaring at me.Oliver chuckled and I stared at him strangely.All traces of anger were gone from his face.What is Oliver trying to pull?"Of course I will help you with more money if you need money from me." He laughed suddenly and the atmosphere in his office seemed to lighten."Oliver, why are you this way?" I blurted out before I could hold back my words.He winked at me."I don't know, I just find it fun messing around with you because you are so easy to tease." He laughed."Oliver please just stop saying things that mak
Natalia's POV;For twenty minutes I sat at my office desk looking over the files that my secretary had submitted to me.I furrowed my brow as I reviewed the file.What does all this nonsense mean?I can't even understand a single word written down in this file and I can't just approve of it because the last one that I approved of failed woefully and the backlash was too stressful to deal with.My Father yelled at me like crazy and has been giving me silent treatment since then.It wasn't my fault but the fault of that stupid stockbroker I hired.He did such a lousy job at finding companies to invest in that my Father's company lost a lot of money and I was blamed for it.The only reason I was still here was because of the good resources I brought in the past.Now it wasn't the same.I flipped through the pages of the file. I cannot even understand a single thing so I don't know what I was looking for to begin with.I have already fired about 5 stockbrokers for giving me the wrong ite
Natalia's POV;I looked at the paper in my hand and gulped.Why was my Father doing this now?He never cared about how I spent money in the past so now why does he suddenly care."Are you going to stand there like someone that just saw a ghost or will you explain to me what all that money was for?" Dad asked as he grew impatient at my loss of words.I cleared my throat nervously."I used that money to buy some stuff for my child." I said as I rubbed my hand on my stomach."Child?" Dad scoffed."You spend 20 thousand dollars buying stuff for a child you haven't seen one that is months away from arriving?" Dad asked sarcastically."Yes Dad." I answered and averted my eyes."And who gave you the right to spend that much money on that useless man's child?" Dad asked with a glare."Dad, it's my child as well." I replied and he sighed heavily."Gosh this annoying kid." Dad muttered.The luxury shopping I did for his grandchild so why was he complaining?"Fine then let's say you spend 20 tho
The phone rang until finally Barke answered. "My love, have you been well?" Barke asked. "No, I am upset because my Dad just scolded me because I spent a little money." I pouted. "You need to be more understanding darling, don't you know that your company's shares are falling ,your Dad is just taking the right precaution." Barke told me and I sighed. "I just wanted to get back to normal quickly, I am tired of this." I huffed. "Don't worry it's just a matter of time and everything will be alright..that said you heard from your ex?" Barke asked. "No ." I grumpily replied. "That's right I called you because I had a business idea and I needed some funds. Are you interested to hear about it?" Barke asked. My ears perked up in interest at the mention of a business idea. Barke was intelligent so I doubt that anything he does will fail. Barke told me the details of the business idea he has and told me the amount I should send to him. My father had already informed me that there was
