NICHOLAS STEAVE : The Secret Heir

-4-

“If necessary, buy this restaurant at any price, Erick.”

“I will carry out your orders, sir.”

Nicholas glanced at the manager who was standing still, the look on the manager’s face was indicated that he was scared to death.

“Don’t judge people too easily, sir. Because the person that you think is bad, isn’t necessarily bad, and vice versa.”

Nicholas now looked at Erdward and Ariana. The two of them seemed shocked to hear the fact that Nicholas Steave was the successor to the business empire from Eternita Hills.

“Erdward, thank you very much, because you have been kind enough to make a member card for me, but I’m sorry I don’t want to accept it.”

Nicholas chose to get into the car, he already felt lazy and annoyed. Ariana even directly elbowed Erdward’s arm perfectly.

“Did you see that?”

“What?”

“He’s Nicholas Steave, right?”

“So?”

“It turns out that he is a wealthy man. Since when did he become a rich man, Erdward? As long as he married me, he never once told me about all these secrets, he was a parasite and an annoying jobless man.”

“Did you think it was only you who felt it? Even I feel the same way. This is really strange, I never thought that he is the heir of Eternita Hills. From what I know the owner of Eternita Hills is Mr. Collin, then how can he turn into someone from the Steave family?”

Erdward then looked at Ariana who kept looking at the group of cars that had left.

“Are you regretting everything now? Of course you might regret to let go of that rich man just for me. Tell me, Ariana. You regret it, don’t you?”

“Of course not, I have chosen you. It is a decision, why should I regret everything? I love you, Edward.”

Ariana smiled stiffly, wishing she could come back. She could have been a little more patient because at least she could become the wife of the heir to the Eternita Hills fortune, whose wealth can not be compared with anyone in this country.

“Aren’t you … Nicholas?”

Nicholas, who was just about to step in the door of the Eternita Group, stopped in his tracks. He was Antonio Weils, one of Ariana’s cousins who took part in throwing dog poop at him. Not only that, Antonio also often treated him in a completely inhumane way.

Nicholas tried to stay silent, allowing Antonio to approach him.

“Oh my God, it’s true, you are Nicholas. Who would have thought that you were Nicholas, the ex-husband of my cousin, Ariana.”

Antonio laughed out loud, as if his laugh was the most melodious in the world. Looking at Nicholas in front of him made Antonio happy, because the opportunity to belittle Nicholas was getting bigger.

“What did you come to this big company for? Do you want to apply for a job?” Antonio asked.

Nicholas didn’t answer a word, he even chose to remain silent because he felt sick to death with the figure in front of him.

“Are you sure you will be accepted into this company, Nick? I think your guts are quite high too, you have no shame. I advise you to leave this company immediately, before your application file is thrown then you will be dragged out in disgrace by the security officers who are here.”

“How so? I think the one who will feel that way is you, and not me.”

“Your confidence is high, Nick. I believe you are the most shameless man in this world.”

Nicholas just chuckled, he then entered the company, so did Antonio, and now he knew that Antonio was looking for a job too. Because a few months ago Antonio was kicked out of the company due to embezzlement of money. Nicholas did not want his company to have employees who should not be made employees like Antonio.

“Erick, if there is a new candidate named Antonio Weils, just refuse the application. because I don’t want to have an employee who has been blacklisted at his previous company.”

“Very well, sir. I will arrange everything as best I can.”

“Thank you.”

Nicholas immediately chose to turn, so that Antonio would not follow his steps. After he turned, he took the elevator to the floor where his room was. The main director room of the Eternita Group where he fully held the full control of the global giant company. Even though in reality, Nicholas still needed Erick to run everything.

Meanwhile, Antonio had come for an interview. He sat nervously in his chair, he turned around to see where Nicholas was, but he was nowhere to be found. Antonio was smiling, at least he already felt victorious. After he beat back a rival who was about to enter the Eternita Group company.

“Are you Antonio Weils?”

“Yes, I am.”

“We saw some violations that you have committed at your previous company. I’m afraid we cannot accept you to work here. More than that, stop embarrassing yourself and quickly come home, Mr Weils.”

Antonio, who felt unacceptable. He felt as if he had heard that sentence, a sentence that he himself said when he met Nicholas earlier. So how could the employee who interviewed him say the same sentence to him?

“Is there no chance for me, sir? I mean, I’ve tried my hardest to change. I know what I did was wrong, but at least you give me a chance to improve. I promise I’ll never do anything wrong again, sir, for God’s sake.”

“I’m sorry, you may leave.”

Antonio swore. He never imagined that he would be treated like this at the Eternia Group, even though he himself had told Nicholas not to embarrass himself, but in fact he was the one who felt ashamed because of the employee.

“This is really crazy!” Antonio snapped.

“You know, Young Master Steave has now started working, and everyone here will welcome Young Master Steave, one of which is by increasing the number of new applicants to become employees at this company, because previously it was reported that Young Master Steave himself had felt how difficult it was  apply for job.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes I am.”

Antonio frowned perfectly, Steave? Who was the figure named Steave referred to as Young Master Steave? Antonio really didn’t expect the Steave name to exist in this company.

Until finally, Antonio was stunned to see the screen in the office lobby. A very familiar figure was sitting in a very luxurious chair. That figure, who seemed to have the highest position in this company, sat very arrogantly.

“Nicholas? Nicholas … Steave?” muttered Antonio.

“The chief executive of the Eternita Group company is back, the lost heir to the Eternita Hills business empire, Nicholas Steave!”
