Davide absorbed the information while nodding his head. He checked the wristwatch tied around his wrist for the time. He still had a few hours before the dinner. "You should get rid of that". Derek pointed at his wrist. "You're going to inherit all of this and you shouldn't be caught wearing something so cheap". Davide chuckled, he instinctively hid his wrist away, "nobody should know I'm alive just yet. I cannot head a company as big as this when I have no past experience about working. I made the decision to work as an employee first before I'm announced as the head." Derek smiled, "you're just like your father; humble and naive". Davide chuckled. "You should meet my son, he's twelve years old and he is almost a teenager now and he isn't holding back on his rebellion. He's nothing like any twelve year old boy and he keeps getting on my nerves. I don't blame him though, when I was his age, I gave my parents a hard time." Davide laughed. Derek led him out of the study and Ze

Zeta was distraught by the sudden emotions that washed over her. It couldn't be denied that the main reason she reacted that way towards him was because Davide was a handsome man.It was a truth that could not be put forward for more investigation. And then, such a handsome man was wearing a suit.Davide had a lithe figure, his skin was marvelous and his body was perfect. He had long legs, slim build and an aura of beauty. 'of course, it had to be that. It had to be because he is so handsome'. Zeta thought.Her once raging heart was finally put to rest and the smile that appeared on her face couldn't be anymore platonic."Marvelous!" She exclaimed. "It's such a perfect fit".Davide chuckled shyly, darting his eyes away, he removed the jacket and handed it over to Zeta.She collected it with raised eyebrows and a teasing smile, "what is this?"Davide chuckled, "I don't know if it's a good idea to own things like this. I still have to go to dinner and it's already past hours".Somehow,

Davide felt like he was rooted to the earth. He had momentarily forgotten what he had planned on doing and where he had found himself was in the deep waters of Avery's eyes.'fuck'.He was too distraught to allow himself to get lost in wondering what she was doing there or if she had appeared suddenly because she had someone tracking him.He wanted to go over to her and maybe talk to her but then he remembered that Avery did not want to talk to him.He remembered the abuse, the ridicule, the disrespect and suddenly, the desire to hear the sound of her voice faded away. It was immediately replaced by the pricking hate he held for her.And that hate reflected in his expression.He walked away towards the bathroom to find Gwen.There were two doors standing beside each other, one was labeled 'Men' and the other, 'Women'. Davide didn't know if it was proper to just barge into the women's bathroom so he decided to knock.He placed two knocks then placed his ear on the door trying to liste

As the fist collided with his jawline for the second time that night, a series of gasps filled the room, especially from Davide's colleagues.The men there had no idea of what their boss was doing and so they thought that Davide was being a piece of shit for punching their boss.They all stood up to defend their boss."What the fuck is your problem, newbie?" One of them asked.The other one, probably called Ray, wasn't so wordy, he sent a punch at Davide and it hit him right on his nose.Gwen shrieked when she saw Davide's body falling to the ground. The place became rowdy and scattered all of a sudden. The male colleagues were making their way over to Davide to continue with their assault."Stop. Everybody stop!" A woman appeared, she wasn't a customer. From her figure and elegant appearance, it was obvious that she was the manager of the restaurant."I want you all to leave this place right now. Violence is not condoned here and you all should leave right away"."I don't think it'

Davide frowned as his eyes met sparkling blue glossy, wide childish eyes. The twelve years old boy standing in the middle of the room didn't act like he was in a strange environment. He had his pajamas on and a curious look on his face.His eyes left Davide's own to scrutinize the room with an unreadable expression on his face."My dad told me you're my cousin". He suddenly said,Davide was beyond baffled at the boy's aura and the tone of his voice like he was talking to someone that can actually be fucked with."He also told me that everything I own, all the money belongs to you". Davide decided that the child was unworthy of his unwavering attention. He walked to the closest to grab some clothes."Why is it so?""How come you own everything?" He asked again."I'm your uncle's son". Davide answered nonchalantly."My uncle died a long time ago, why don't I know you?"Davide found a set of blue pajamas folded neatly waiting for him in the closet. He grabbed it and fitted himself int

Nicole and Davide paused at the same time like they were being remote controlled. Nicole's lipstick was still hanging beside her lips and her eyes were round as she stared at the manager. Davide was in no way different from her. He was looking like he had just seen a ghost. There was nobody in the room that was as unprepared as he was regarding issues like that. Nevertheless, he had been chosen and even though he was only picked because he was hated, he still had to acknowledge the fact that he was chosen and make sure that he brought glory to the department. Nicole, who was beside him, didn't share that thought. She was as unqualified as Davide. She had worked in the department for three years but there has never been an opportunity for her to show her worth. In the first two years, she had been excited to show the department what she could do but everytime she presented something, it was always turned down by the manager. It was later that she realized that the problem was ne

The PM was a woman.She had rich blonde hair, a simple make up in her face and bright blue eyes. She looked to be around the same age as Nicole.A pencil was caught in between her teeth as she scrutinized the people who just walked into her office."They are from the business department, Dawn".She raised her eyebrows, "that prick Caleb sent only the two of you, a man and a woman. This is the first time he's doing something like this".Even though the PM wasn't the man Nicole was familiar with, it seems like they had something in common.They both hated Caleb."Good morning, I'm Davide". He flashed a smile.Dawn nodded her head, "and what is your partner called?"Davide was confused, he turned to look at Nicole who seemed to be lost in Dawn's beautiful blue eyes. It seems that her consciousness had drifted away from her, like she was lost in thought or something.Davide stepped on her foot."Fuck!" Nicole reacted to the unprecedented pain that flooded her body, she took two steps awa

Both Davide and Nicole were stupefied at the words that flowed from the woman's mouth."What do you mean by the drink of death?" Davide asked her."My daughter warned me against it. As it seemed, there's a video that's circulating round the internet of how that drink killed an old woman".It seems like even when the woman meant to explain her words, she managed to confuse the two people standing in front of her more.Nicole was flabbergasted, baffled, she was distraught and didn't even know how to feel nor what to say. Davide on the other hand was like his brain had been washed clean, it was unable to.process anything. Somehow, he needed the woman to explain what she meant in the manner which she would explain to a five year old child."It killed a woman on the internet?" Nicole repeated for clarification.The woman nodded her head, "ever since then, there has been news going around against that drink and many people are advised against it".Nicole chuckled, "did you come to.think th

Davide's frown remained on his face even after reading the text message from Zeta for the seventeenth time in less than ten minutes.Nicole was busy trying to market the products that were left for the cheapest price possible but it seemed like the people around them were hard headed and remained glued on their idea that it was a drink of death.Davide knew that what he was doing was wrong. He was standing by the corner re reading the message over and over again, his thumbs hovering over the screen of the phone thinking whether or not to send a reply to her.He didn't want to seem like he was anxious about anything. He had made a point all day to not check his phone, he made a mental note to not think of Zeta but she just had to text him which made him feel a kind of way.He still couldn't get over their last fight but there was nothing he could do. If that's what she wanted to talk about, he couldn't even guess if he should apologize to her or not."Are you having problems with your

Davide was suddenly thrown into an array of distraught. He glanced at the phone that had been in his hand all morning and as he opened the phone, what he was seeing was the text that Zeta had sent to him."We need to talk".And she was suddenly there, in front of him. Eyes holding eyes and the awkwardness flying in the air."Good, you're here" Dawn clapped her hands as she jumped off the table and approached them."I heard from the outlet, you made sales. How did you do it?" Her hands fell on Nicole's shoulders.Nicole cleared her throat, the scent from Dawn was irresistibly strong and not in the offensive way. It was too great of a thing that sent her consciousness packing, her rationality was flying through the window.Nicole cleared her throat again, "it was nothing really, all we had to do was drink from it".Dawn smirked and led Nicole away to the table to where the rest of the crew were sitting.There were only five in number and with the addition of Dawn, they were six."This i
