CHAPTER 38
Kairo took a few bold steps forward, closing the distance between the board members and himself.Jason quickly interjected, “Finally, you'll meet your ancestors.”For a moment, Kairo paused to rethink if Tina could be setting him up or maybe she had leaked the secret game plan they had to her brother out of trust.His heart rate began to race for the skies. Water escaped the pores in his fur.“Drink it, fast!” Mr Johnson shot at Kairo.Tina could see the desperation in Mr Johnson's eyes. He's been quiet all along, and what exactly made him speak up now?Another voice shot out, loud;“Don't waste our luxurious time here. Time is more expensive than money itself. Gulp every drop of that water, immediately!”Kairo's insides curled, but his face remained unreadable.He stepped closer to the mahogany table, poured a glass of the bottled water, and paused for a moment to observe the glass.The water was blameless and spotless enough to convince anyone to drink it.“What are you waiting for?
CHAPTER 37
Tina took center stage again retrieving the attention of everyone as she began, “I sincerely apologize for not sending a beforehand notice with regards to today's meeting,”She paused to observe the energy of the room, and to Kairo, who stood there almost lifeless, then continued, “We had an emergency to strike out, completely, before it crashes your shares and investment, and I am sure nobody would frown at losses.”Murmurs erupted and died down when curiosity heightened.“Get the culprit!” Jason shouted.“Culprit?” “Who could that be? I swear on my left ball, I would crush such a person to nothing.”“You had a ball and you’re childless till date?”“How dare you mock my situation?”“I'm glad you admit that you have a situation to strike out.”The tension in the room heightened until Tina hit a button on the table that cried loudly like a siren, ‘Order, order! order!’ Soon, everyone took shape again, and the room fell silent, and anxiety rose above the ceilings.“Interestingly, one o
CHAPTER 36
Hours ticked past, and the deeper Kairo went into his thoughts, the more lost he felt. None of the boxes ticked; his furs were covered with sweat triggered by overthinking, whilst under tight supervision.His phone and accessories were confiscated earlier; maybe one phone call to his assistant would have saved him from the stress of racking his brain to uncover who was behind the forged documents that almost engulfed Tina's family in an irreversible rot.He was restless, pacing up and down in the one-man guardroom he was thrown into.He came to a halt near the guardroom door and spoke with a soliciting voice, “I understand you were ordered to keep Tina away, but a word with her right now will fix everything,”The personnel whom he was speaking to through a hand-sized square-like opening on the door did not flinch. He kept his ground.He heard a familiar distant voice ranting at the personnel. In a minute, the voice dropped dead and footsteps could be fast approaching the guardroom whe
CHAPTER 35
“I am not that important, let's focus on the mastermind behind this mess…” Kairo began, flickering his eyes to Tina and to the huge, man-like figure who was about his height.“The documents Tina signed on your behalf with the official stamp from your office are an attempt to accuse you of selling off the south side of Carolina. By the time the document has circulated the city, it'll call for your immediate removal from office for betraying your people who entrusted their voices into your care. And I suspect, someone in your cabinet has a strong hand in this.”“How could they?!” Mr George white thundered, stamping his feet on the crystal tiles, hard enough to squash a human skull.“Can you get the conspirator for me?”“Father! You called… is everything okay?”Jason, the wayward child of the family cut in, walking like he escaped a lion's den. Dressed to the moon, for the first time he looked like he belonged here.He came to a halt, when he noticed a stranger.“Who's this bag of offens
CHAPTER 34
Before Kairo could speak further, Tina locked her arms around Kairo's and dragged him away without his consent. Kairo followed religiously, though he did not want the spotlight, but having a little connection with the first family wouldn’t be a bad idea after all.They both barged into the presidential visitor's court, and met a worried, tall-figured man, bathed in luxurious clothing from head to toe, his white Italian suits and pants alone should cost about $70,000, his white Italian customised shoes cost about $50,000. Kairo's eyes flickered to the woman on the left who wore a red gown that didn't quite hug her body.The jewellery adorned on her neck, ears, and wrist was enough to build and equip a world-class hospital and school.Yes, those were the first family of Carolina.“And who is this?” the president, Mr George White, questioned, his brows raised into an arc.The first Lady, Mrs Jessica White, cut in without letting his words drop on the crystal clear floor, “Tina, is this s
CHAPTER 33
The presidential villa bustled with life, as workers moved about their activities, a few trimming the green flowers that formed canopies like a head bridge, and at the other end of the mansion, the entrance was adorned with green flowers that formed pathways, leading into a white, elegant, bulletproof mansion decorated with rare earth jewellery.Each of those sparkling, colourless jewels that sat on strategic spots like the pillars must have cost 5 million.On hearing the arrival of the first daughter of Carolina, the Ville hummed like a beehive.The Chief Butler strode out from the building like being pursued by a stray dog, walking briskly towards the garage where the first daughter of the country's vehicle had come to a halt. He's been the longest serving butler in the presidential villa who carried the weight of responsibility of service, secrets, trust, and loyalty like a flower, to each elected president over the past 15 years and still counting.He's served the incumbent presid
