Greenfield Co
Brian stood in front of the tall building, both regret and annoyance simmering inside him. The company had been renamed from SilverLine Tech to Greenfield Co after he sold it in a desperate attempt to please his ex-wife. “All for nothing…” He muttered in despair, a heavy sigh escaping his lungs. Then he began to march toward the entrance, each step feeling heavier than the last. For some reason, the guards at the casement door didn’t stop him, probably because he was dressed differently- like a businessman or important personnel. They didn’t even recognize him, not even a glimpse of who he was. Brian continued moving slowly until he arrived at the reception. The young lady seated in front of the large screen was blowing hard on ballooned gum, biting hard even when she had sucked all the juice. Her fingers were clicking hard on the keyboard, but she had to stop when she saw Brian approaching. “Hello, Sir!” She said with a smile, her eyes flashing with pure adm
Admiration Withdrawn
“I am sorry. I can’t do that.” Winnie was quick to respond, then a snort followed.“I think you should leave, Mr. Regal. My boss is busy at the moment. He won’t be able to see you.”“But you just told me a while ago that he was less busy,” Brian argued, his face attacked by patches of frustration. “That was before I realized that he was too busy to see someone as unimportant as you.” Winnie didn’t hide her disdain. She looked at Brian like he was a piece of rag, glaring from the crown of his head, down to the sole of his shoes.It didn’t matter if he looked presentable or not, his name was a representation of failure and a man who had acted foolishly. Brian swallowed everything in good faith.After all, he was the one who brought everything upon himself.No one forced him to sell his company, not even to the highest bidder, but to the first person who offered to purchase it for a few million dollars. “I guess I deserve that.” He took a deep breath, yet his determination
The Offer
Dave and Mira nodded in agreement, urging Winnie to carry on with her threat.“You are right, Winnie. This fellow needs to be taught a lesson never to come back. I am sure the boss will frown at you if he hears you gave him audience.” Mira said with spiteful eyes, then she turned to Dave. “I didn’t think that such miserable and shameless men existed.” She expected her cohort to say something, but he was silent.“What is it,?” She asked, sensing the nervousness on his face.“Mr. Benson. He is on his way to this place.” Dave whispered, his voice losing its group.Mira was the first to escape into the hallway by the right, and Dave followed. Winnie kept herself busy the moment she saw her boss approaching, leaving Brian to stand like a tall tree. He sighed heavily as soon as he saw the CEO marching toward the reception with slow but domineering steps. Hugo Benson had been the CEO of Greenfield Co since his Godfather purchased it and handed it over to him. Apart from the
Blank Cheque
“The last time I checked, you sold your company to me. So I don’t see any reason why we should be having any conversation.” Hugo paused, giving a thought to the idea that came into his mind.“Wait!” He scoffed, gesturing at Brian.“Are you here to beg me to employ you?! I heard your wife left you, and you were fired by the same man she cheated with!”Hugo burst into a loud uproar, laughing so loudly that some of the employees had to pause for a while. Brian let him have his fun, but it seemed like he was enjoying it a little too much.“Life has really been messing with you, man,” Hugo said while he was still vibrating with laughter. “But look on the bright side! You don’t have to sell any other thing to help Pearl Stuttgart rebuild her empire!” He sniggered, then he inched closer to Brian. “Look…” He patted him on the shoulders, looking him in the eyes. “I suggest you leave Lakeville and start all over. You can work as a Security man in large firms. I can make a few call
Mouth-watering
Hugo couldn’t ignore the seriousness that he saw on Brian’s face. He exhaled sharply, staring him deep in the eyes. “You are definitely not joking.” His interest was gradually built, yet he was doubtful. “Let’s just say that I am serious about selling this company back to you, Brian. How much do you think you can offer? How do you intend to get the money?”“That shouldn’t be a bother to you. And as for the amount, I am leaving it solely to you, Hugo. Name your price.” Brian stretched the last words, his confident smile getting brighter. Hugo scratched the back of his head, refusing to take his eyes off Brian.Then he cleared his throat, his mind almost spinning with several thoughts. “This company is not just worth over a hundred million dollars, Brian. We have a new software product that we are trying to launch in a few days. That masterpiece is going to make us so much money. Our profit will rise to three times. It’s called…” “The Series two Sterilizer…” Brian cut hi
Billion Dollars
Hugo was silent, then he cleared his throat. “Let’s wait and see, Philip. He agreed to buy for seven hundred million dollars.”“What?!” The attorney gasped, his jaw dropping immediately. “And you believed him? Who in their right senses would offer such an amount of money for a company that is barely on the recognized market list of tech companies in Lakeville?” His words caught Hugo unannounced, but he wasn’t done talking. “I don’t think you should sign those papers, Mr. Benson. He could be trying to scam you. I think he is trying to steal the company from you.” Hugo huffed, turning to Brian who wasn’t really paying attention. “No. It can’t be, Philip. He knows better. He knows not to mess with me.” He said in a low tone, looking at Brian as though he was attempting to read his mind. “I don’t think he does, Mr. Benson.” Philip insisted, turning to face his client. “I think you should ask him to show you the money before you agree to sign. Don’t fall for this silly tr
Regal Estate
The phone suddenly felt too heavy for Hugo, almost dropping from his hands. “Hold onto it tightly, Mr. Benson. So it doesn’t fall.” Philip had already positioned his hands below, ready to catch the device just in case his client dropped it. Hugo felt sweat running down his forehead, his eyes still staring at the screen.“What if this money is illegal, Philip? What if he stole it?”“Does it matter?” Philip retorted at once, shaking his head slowly. “All that matters is that you sold your company to him of your own free will. I am your attorney, and I am going to protect your interests,”He assured with a smile, looking Hugo in the eyes. Hugo nodded after a while, then he swallowed hard.Once again, his eyes found themselves looking at the screen, he had never seen that amount before.He was certain that his accountant was going to call to confirm if he was aware of such a huge transaction. “Gentlemen? I am waiting.” Brian’s voice resounded with impatience, his eyes star
Lord Ambrose
Diego was forced to look at him, and then he saw the tears well up in his eyes.The Concierge took a deep breath, going down memory lane. He remembered it all.The betrayal; the day Brian’s father was accused, the day his parents were killed. A heavy sigh escaped him, loud enough to draw Brian’s attention.Brian sniffled, suppressing his heavy tears. Then he cleared his throat and adjusted, eyes staring at the massive and almost unending avenue. “We are here, Young Master,” Diego announced happily, a sense of satisfaction crawling through his veins.“Yes. We are, Diego. We really are.” Brian couldn’t hide the uncertainty that was inside him. Each time he tried to trust his gut, the thoughts in his mind failed him. Finally, all the cars pulled to a stop in front of the castle-like mansion, then one of the guards opened the door for him. Brian alighted and stood in front of the edifice for a while. His eyes moved from one corner to the other.Nothing had really ch
Homecoming
Lord Ambrose smiled even in his pain, then nodded, tears soaking his eyes. “I don’t deserve such concern from you, Brian. But I guess, the Heavens have decided to show me mercy.” He sighed heavily, then he lifted his face and turned to the Concierge. “Diego?”“Yes, Lord Ambrose.” Diego pushed closer, then he bowed to the old man. “I need you to make it public that my heir is back. Tell everyone that Brian Regal is back to inherit my empire. Do it at once!”“Yes, My Lord!” Diego bowed again, then he turned to leave.“Isn’t it too early?” A female voice questioned from the doorway, causing everyone to turn at once. A lady dressed in a fine silk gown walked in, her long raven hair struggling to balance on her shoulders.Her eyes moved to Brian, then she gasped. “He looks so much like his father!” She exclaimed, her legs pacing before she could realize it.“Rebecca. You are home.” Lord Ambrose said with a staggering voice, staring at his daughter – the only child he had lef
Silent Jabs
Rebecca’s frown remained while she watched the Concierge depart, each step he took seeming like they were meant to taunt her.But she managed to keep her smile in place, returning her gaze to her father. “I hope you know what you are doing, Father.” “I do…” Lord Ambrose said after a brief silence. Rebecca sighed heavily, yet her chest felt like it was enduring a huge burden. When she eventually turned to look at Brian, it was surprising to see the smile still etched on his face. “I hope you don’t think that I have anything against you, Nephew.” “No. not at all.” Brian nodded, smile still unwavering. “I totally understand. I know you mean well for the family business.”“Of course!” Rebecca nodded, then she inched closer to Brian.“I am so glad that you understand where I am coming from. Your father would be so proud of you wherever he is. God rest his soul.” She embraced Brian again, then she wrapped her arms around him, attempting to console him.Brian pulled away
