The line connected. “Hello, Allen. It's Nathan Reed.” He voiced calmly.“Oh! Nathan,” Allen retorted. “To what do I owe this surprise call?”Nathan exhaled softly before he spoke out in a polite tone. “I need a favour from you? It's about the upcoming project, I would like to get a hint about anything that we are to expect tomorrow.”There was a brief silence over the phone.“Nathan, I don't think it's possible?”Nathan's face turned pale, “Why?”“The project is being organised by the young master of the Scott family. None of us know how he looks or have ever come in contact with him.”Nathan didn't seem to comprehend, “If the project was organised by the Scott family, who are known as the most influential family in the city, why was it announced by James Sinclair.”“James is the spokesman to the Scott family; He is in charge of all their dealings.”He scratched his chin, with his brow confused. “How do we get to the Young master, I really need to get this deal.” He sounded desperate

Benjamin shook his head, ignoring Nathan as he walked towards the sink to wash his hands and wipe them. He was about to leave when Nathan stood before him.“You haven't answered my question? What are you here.” He demanded in an authoritative tone.“I should be asking you that? I owe this establishment,” he said firmly.Nathan burst into uncontrollable laughter, then frowned. “you must have forgotten to take your medication, Benjamin.” He continued. “Even in your dream, I don't think you can even owe a place like this. You are a loser, and people like you aren't supposed to step foot into a place like the Grand Land Hotel.” He paused and continued, “Don't tell me you came here with Arianna because there is no way they would grant access through the gate.” He laughed, “You are now her handbag, following her everywhere she is going. I can see you are trying to pinch off her, I am going to expose you.”Benjamin's eyes blazed in fury; Nathan was stepping more than he should have. “I am n

The once confident and arrogant Nathan’s face turned pale, his body trembling, and he tried to mask the anger and disappointment he was feeling.He lowered his voice as he stepped forward, “Please, permit me to see Mr James Sinclair; there must have been a misunderstanding somewhere. I never sent someone to spy on the young master. Why would I?”Was he trying to deny it?“Your reasons are best known to you, but our decision has been made.” Nelson hurriedly replied.He knew better than to exchange words with Nathan; he was doing his best to impress the young master who was seated not far away from him.“Did you think Nathan did it?” Arianna whispered.Benjamin shrugged, acting calm with an unreadable expression.Whispering from the crowd erupted, as many of them were left speechless.Nathan realised he made a mistake in the first place, but he never expected it would lead to his disqualification even before the event started.His mind drifted to Benjamin’s words, “Why would I come clos

She let out a low sigh, “It was okay, I did my best, thanks to you.” She turned to her team and gave them an encouraging nod. After hours of interviewing other teams, Nelson took to the stage to make an announcement.“Good day, ladies and gentlemen; we want to thank everyone who participated in this. You have all done an impressive job.”Each member of a different team nodded, their faces lit up in excitement. Their hopes were high and they were filled with confidence in securing a deal.“But!” He said, “The results will not be announced today; the organisers will have to go through the pitches over again to make their decision; the winner will be announced in two days, and it will be posted on our official page”Their smiles faded slowly, and each of them exchanged worrisome glances. “You don’t have to worry. A message will be sent to you, and each of you will be going home with the sum of ten thousand for participating.”The crowd applauded the manager; they smiled as they listene

Murmuring began from the crowd; they brushed their hair and clothes, trying to look presentable. Nathan, who had been trying to humiliate Benjamin, sighed softly. His lips curled into a smile, “Mr. Sinclair,” he called out. “I supposed fate brought you towards my path, I have been thinking of a way to get to you.” He said softly.His heart thudded; he knew this was his chance to redeem himself. He gathered the courage, taking a deep breath.“What’s happening? Why are you trying to create a scene?” James asked.He stared at Benjamin, who winked at him to play along. “Oh! It was him. I never did what I was accused of. He was the one spreading fake rumours that I sent someone to spy on the young master.” “I came like everyone, with my proposal that I believe would be of great value.”James turned to Hannah and Benjamin. “What happened?” Benjamin acted like an ordinary man, he began recounting the events that occurred. Leaving everyone in shock, Nathan’s face flushed in anger, and hi

Gasps and whispers echoed through the atmosphere. Many had their jaw dropped in disbelief.The weight of those words hit him like a thunderstorm; Nathan felt his knees giving up. This was more than humiliation. It was pain; he felt his world crumbling before him.There was a moment of silence, no one moved nor dared to utter a word. They couldn’t help but watch the scene in disbelief and shock.His grandfather wouldn’t only be disappointed but would skin him alive.What has he gotten himself into? Does he think Benjamin was an ordinary man? What would he do when he finds out that Benjamin was the young master of the Scott family?“But, but…” Nathan stammered. “Mr. James,”Before he could finish, another slap landed on his cheeks, and just as he turned to the side, another slap hit him. Giving him no time to react, his face swollen. He wince in pain.His mind raced, and his breath hitched. He kept wondering who Benjamin was. And what has he done to these people to have their backing?
Chapter 27
It’s been two days since the encounter at the Grand Land Hotel. Arianna sat behind the desk, her mind racing; the news was yet to be announced who had been chosen by James Sinclair to lead the company’s project.Many firms which applied had their mind on the air as they awaited the news.Ariana kept her gaze fixed on her laptop screen, with a half-empty mug of coffee by the side of her desk. She has refreshed the page every twenty minutes since she walked into her office.At some point, she lost hope; she had to switch to something else to keep herself busy. Her secretary brought in a file, which she kept working on.Her mind was so engrossed in her tasks for the day, that she ignored the buzzing of her phone. Suddenly, her door burst open, revealing Lucy her sister. Her face lit up with excitement, and she held her phone tightly.Arianna raised her brow, as she glanced at her sister. “You scared me.” She said with her voice barely above a whisper.“I am sorry, but you need to see th

Benjamin stood before the large skyscraper of Emerald Towers, one of the biggest resorts in Bridgeton. His meeting with the boss was supposed to be scheduled by noon, but he made sure he was there before noon to know how things had been run in the establishment.Casually dressed in a yellow t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, with a black snicker.He took a deep breath as he took his first step into the building. He approached the receptionist, a young lady in her twenties. She looked beautiful but nothing compared to Arianna and Nora. “Welcome to Emerald Tower, Sir. How can I assist you?” she said, with a smile. Her voice was polite and calm.Benjamin returned the smile before he responded. “I am here for a business meeting with Mr. Ethan Lancaster.” He replied smoothly.The lady who had a tagged on, named Roseline, rolled her eyes at him from head to toe. “Who is he? And what business does he have with my boss?” she thought inwardly.She knew her boss, having worked for him for long

Kelvin walked towards them with a confident demeanor. He stared at Benjamin, unsure of what to say. “What’s going on?” Kelvin asked.Amelia didn’t hesitate as she began explaining to him, feeding him with more lies than anyone would ever imagine. Roseline’s hand ran to her mouth, shocked by Amelia’s words. She knew better than to interfere, she kept mute as she watched the scene unfold before her. Kelvin turned to Benjamin after he had listened to Amelia’s cooked-up stories. “Young man, what the hell are you doing here?” He asked with his voice dripping with disgust. “Emerald is a luxurious and exclusive arena for wealthy people, someone like you is not supposed to be here.”“Who are you to demand who step foot here or not.” Benjamin countered. What audacity?They exchanged glances; their expressions were mixed with contempt and awe. “Is he trying to challenge the supervisor of Emerald Tower? Who is he? Where did he get the guts from?”“He has just got sacked before he even gets

Amelia and Reuben burst into laughter; they knew it was impossible for anyone, not even Kelvin, to talk to Ethan in such a manner.“Do you think we are going to believe that, never. You are a nobody, and you lack such connections to even pull Mr. Ethan out of his office; if you do that, I will gladly hit my head on the floor until it bleeds.”Interesting. Reuben was digging his grave.“Mr Kelvin, I had informed her, and she will send the message across to Mr. Ethan,” Rosaline stated.Both Kelvin, Amelia and Reuben let out a mischievous smirk. They couldn’t wait to see how Benjamin would be humiliated. The security men which Rosaline called could be seen rushing towards them. They came to a halt, looking at the faces before them with mixed feelings.Two of them stood there intimidating. But who are they trying to intimidate? “Hold on, you will do your job. We need Mr. Ethan to come down and handle something important before we hand him over to you guys.” Kelvin said with a sharp t
