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 doing here?” He demanded in an authoritative tone. “I should be asking you that? I own 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 own 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’ll grant you access through the gate.” He laughed, “You are now her handbag, following her everywhere she goes. 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.

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 l

Gasps and whispers echoed through the atmosphere. Many had their jaws 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 would not 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 ba

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 fo

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 were 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
