2024-10-14 14:04:11The tour of the mansion left Spence a tip of amazement compared to how he felt walking through the gigantic doors of Zillow Jade.
The thought of having absolute control over such a place left him in awe.
May be he should have asked his father for one year not a month.
Zillow Jade was a Fourty -eight storey building which other medium sized enterprises are partnering with them and setting up their branch in their complex.
The waterfall at the entrance enticed Spence that he was tempted to drop by and take a snapshot.
To his joy and relief his blabber mouth boss Taylor Stone didn't show up with them.
About twenty of them himself included marched into the company all dressed in a blue custom made shirt with VV customer service engraved on it.
They were led by a security personnel to a corner on the ground floor which will be where they take customer service and complaints.
Seeing many smartly dressed permanent staffs of Zillow Jade, his companion Gale was almost drooling.
" Oh! My dream is to use one of those tags one-day" Gale said facing Spence and stretching forward his hands towards two ladies walking up towards the elevator by the west wing.
" Do they earn that well?" Spence asked cluelessly
Gale looked at him with amusing expression
" Dude! You seem really clueless for your cute face" Gale said teasingly
Spence smiled uncomfortably,he was used to people commending his looks but pitying his wretchedness.
" I am Gale Hart" the lanky man said stretching out his hand
" Spence Wellington" Spence reciprocated by shaking his outstretched hand
" You look handsome, your name sounds rich and you seem eloquent with your voice, you will be very famous with the ladies in no time" Gale said as a matter of fact
Spence didn't know how to respond to the compliment, he wasn't even sure he cared about his looks at the moment
" Thank you,how long have you been working for VV?" Spence asked changing the subject
" About four months I think " Gale said playfully
Spence was about to ask more questions when their supervisor turned to him
" I know you are new here,I will pair you with someone for the week,watch how others handle it first" the supervisor said
" Let me put him through ma'am " Gale volunteered joyfully
" Okay Mr Hart" the supervisor said and walked away
Spence smiled pleasantly,he knew he had just made a friend
" Dude,you are going to be my magnet today" Gale said excitedly
" Magnet?" Spence questioned as he was confused
" The ladies will swarm us like bees,they love cute face " Gale said playfully
Spence was about to tell him he wasn't looking bad either but he knew it would just be a flattery
Gale Hart didn't have the good looks but he at least maintained his lanky body which his girlfriend finds attractive.
" I met my girlfriend here three months ago" Gale said happily blushing furiously
"Good for you man" Spence said
" What about yours? I am sure you have a lot of girls dying over you" Gale asked curiously
"Lol....I got in a messy divorce recently " Spence said swallowing bitterly
" Dude! You were married! You strike me as a playboy " Gale said bluntly
Spence just kept smiling,Gale seem to be a free thinker, he kinda of like him already
" Why would she loose a diamond like you?" Gale asked curiously
" She jilted me for my boss, got pregnant,got engaged,I got fired,end of story" Spence said hastily
" Oh! Sorry about that dude" Gale said patting his shoulder
"Thank you " Spence said pleasantly
" Was she----" Gale started but was cut off by an approaching customer
" Good morning" a caramel skinned lady said facing Spence
" Good morning ma'am" Gale and Spence chorused
" I would like to lodge a complain about the hair shampoo I bought few weeks ago " the lady said softly trying hard to sound seductively appealing to Spence
" Meet one of those two customer services at the last end over there ma'am,they handle that" Gale said politely
" Are you new here? I haven't seen you before " the lady said addressing Spence ignoring Gale's directive
" I- I just resume w-work here today" Spence stuttered feeling uncomfortable by her intent stare
" I thought as much, you look handsome by the way" the lady said bluntly making Spence blush embarrassed
"T-thank you ma'am" Spence responded softly
" I will be off then, hope to see you again charming prince " the lady whispered which only Spence and Gale could hear,she left as Gale had directed her completely ignoring him
" Told you the girls will be swarming around you dude" Gale said mockingly
" She gave me goosebumps " Spence said and they both laughed wholeheartedly.
Before their lunch hours, both Gale and Spence were already exhausted, as Gale had proclaimed, ladies were swarming around them just to have Spence talk to them
He felt comfortable only because Gale doesn't look like a jealous type so that rather made jokes about it all
To his amazement the restaurant cafeteria chef gave him extra plate of food just for being goodlooking which he shared with nonchalant Gale.
The special treatment wasn't new to him, he had always gotten an ounce of it at Golden Fingers too
The same reason why the backlash of his wife 's betrayal seem to be known by almost everyone over there.
"The charming contract guy" was the topic of the gossip because he was a well known face.
" Can't we move beyond the first floor?" Spence asked Gale while munching on his sausage
" Dude! don't you get it,we are bottom feeders,we would need special authorization to walk into that elevator or climb the stairs" Gale said and Spence nodded in understanding.
" I heard the heir Ryan has returned,the stand in will soon step down" a blonde haired girl whispered to her friends
" I even heard a rumour that she is dying" another said
" Well for me I feel indifferent, I don't like her overall personality,it rubs me the wrong way but her policies favours the company and staffs,she has other's interst at heart " an African American lady said
" I agree with you " a petite brunette interjected.
Spence listened with rapt attention, he had figured out something
The best place in Zillow Jade to get your fill of gossips is in the cafeteria .

Chapter Seventy Seven: Where We Were Meant To Be.
Spence closed his eyes and allowed the information to sink in, the unfiltered truth was difficult to swallow, his father was right, nothing had prepared him for the backlash of knowingness.Everyone around him had a part and now he would be forced to choose between his inheritance and huge responsibilities that comes with it, responsibilities that would make him inhumane.When his father had agreed to tell him everything, to avoid Mrs Wellington overhearing them, they moved to Peter’s room, a safe haven where he could get off his facade. The next morning seem to come longer than necessary as Spence couldn’t sleep a wink. He kept staring blankly at the wall above him, his father was right, he hadn’t toughened up enough.He left for Zillow Jade after bidding Mrs Wellington a goodbye, he had made a right choice, bringing Mrs Wellington into the mansion for the time being is a good choice.He walked into the gigantic doors of the building and his eyes landed on the fountain, he gave it a
Chapter Seventy Six: A Mirror Of The Past.
The humidity in the atmosphere surrounding the mansion increased how tense Spence’s muscle was, he drove into the compound with full speed, not bothering to pack properly, he threw the key to one of the bodyguards stationed outside and hastily rushed inside.The moment he walked through the door, he knew he had to prepare his mind for whatever he was to uncover but he was ready to do it, Spence's eyes locked with that of his father Peter and he greeted him coldly. His eyes scanned through the room hoping for his mother to pop out of the wall maybe, but no one did, he wanted to question his father but before he could do, Peter answered his question.“I had been keeping an eye on Snape for quite some time now, it wasn't hard to get your mother out.”Spence had to hold himself back from scoffing, he was torn in between gratitude and spite. He was certain Peter had found out about the kidnap earlier before he rescued his mother, not that his father cares about such a low life woman as Mrs

He had done everything possible since he got an anonymous message a few hours ago about his mother’s abduction. He wanted to call it bluff but when her phone was picked by one of the kidnappers, fear coursed through his veins. Becoming Ryan Hale had ruined a lot of things for him, everything he had known all his life had ended up getting pushed aside, Including his clingy affection towards his adopted mother. He blamed himself severally, he should have seen it coming, he should have expected as much now that he was in the midst of multitudes of people with mixed feelings about him. He regretted not being a filial son that Mrs Wellington raised him to be. Since he found out about his identity and he had been stuck up in the Hale business, He had lacked the time to visit her or spend much time with her coupled with his bitterness towards her illega

Chapter Seventy Three: Seeing my Wrongs.
“Dying isn't easy, is it Miss Hale?”Selena felt herself stiffen, how on earth was this possible. Her unwanted visitor threw her a mockery smirk but she shook it off, she managed to keep her eyes up on her target, her car packed only a few miles away.She summoned all the courage she could muster kicking against the temptation of exchanging words with a vengeful spirit. Her resilience finally paid off and she made it to the car. She cursed inwardly at her illluck that day and was about to open the car door when someone held her wrist.“Steady Miss Hale, you almost got run over from there.” Gale said with concern laced in his eyes.Selena felt herself relaxed, he was the last person she had expected to see but was glad someone at least knew she needed a hand.“Did Ryan station you to stalk me, I kind of deduced recently that you are an undercover cop.” She said nonchalantly.Gale’s brow furrowed slightly, he was certain she had done a thorough background check on him and wondered despe
