2024-03-20 17:11:54The next morning, Mason was up early as usual. He cleaned the house and prepared breakfast and headed to Microloft headquarters in his peugeot 207 which was extremely beat up.
He pulled up to the Microloft parking lot but saw that a special access was required to park. At that moment, a white BMW zoomed past him and parked.
He looked up and saw a couple step out of the BMW. Hand in hand, it was Jason and his fiancée, Emerald.
Jason was dressed rather flashy in some designer Mason wasn’t sure what designer exactly. Emerald was dressed head to toe in Burberry’s signature print.
Mason didn’t know why they were there. He knew his best bet would be to avoid them, but as he turned around, he heard his name.
“Mason?!” Jason called out
They both approached him as he stepped out of his Peugeot.
Emerald scrunched her nose in disgust.
“Baby, did someone let a rat in here?” She asked, sizing Mason up and down.
Mason ignored her remark.
“Hi, Jason, Emerald.”
“Why are you both here?” Mason asked.
“We’re more surprised as to why you’re here.” Emerald said.
“Anyways, we’re here to see Rita Donovan, the vice chairman. Not that it concerns you.” Jason said.
“We have some business with Microloft. I’m here to introduce Jason, the Rodney’s have not gotten a chance to collaborate.” Emerald said.
He wasn’t aware that the Wilson’s and Microloft had business. Emerald was a Wilson and Jason’s engagement to her was purely for business.
He knew however that Microloft didn’t collaborate with middle class businesses like the Rodney’s.
This was interesting.
“Okay, enjoy your visit.” Mason said, smiling.
Jason got extremely irritated and angry. He was just ridiculed and insulted just yesterday by his family.
Yet here he was today smiling at him, like nothing had happened.
“And why are you here?” Jason asked.
“I’m here to apply for a job.” Mason said, lying.
He was actually here to see Rita, the vice chairman.
“Apply for a job? I didn’t know Microloft hired losers. Did you, babe?” Jason asked.
“Are you kidding me? Do you think we’re a joke?!” He screamed.
“What does it mean to you?” Mason asked.
“But really, Mason. What do you even have to apply?”
“Did you finish high school? Do you have any qualifications?”
“Diploma?”
“I don’t even think you would qualify as a security guard. Maybe a janitor?”
“Yes, maybe a janitor. You would be better off applying to take out trash. You would definitely get that. No qualifications required.”
“Here, take this out.”
Emerald tossed an empty water bottle at his feet.
As they walked away, Emerald said: “Since I’m familiar with Ms, Donovan, why don’t I see if she can arrange maybe a toilet cleaning job for you here?”
They both laughed sinisterly.
“The kind of job I’m applying for is none of your business. Microloft is a big company and it’s a shame they collaborate with minor trash companies like your company.”
Mason said with a smirk.
Jason turned red with anger.
“Who are you calling minor trash?!” He demanded.
“You. Trash!” He said and he walked away.
Heading for the entrance, Jason jogged up to catch up to Mason.
He was heated and was about to punch Mason when Emerald held his hand, pointing at the cctv camera.
It was bad for their reputation .
He was coming here to propose a business plan that would greatly benefit Rodney's declining social status and he wasn’t going to let Mason jeopardize that.
“You b*stard! You’re lucky now! Won’t be so lucky next time!” He yelled.
He gritted his teeth and Mason snorted and walked inside the building.
Jason was absolutely furious that Mason looked down on him as he entered the building.
Mason entered the elevator and before it closed he said, “Jason Rodney, do you really think you’re so powerful? Believe me, you will soon pay the price for being such a spoiled, cocky and arrogant nobody.”
“How dare you!?” Jason yelled, approaching the elevator but Emerald held him back.
“Do not waste your energy on scum and worse, do not contaminate yourself by entering the same elevator as trash. Let’s use the next one.”
He agreed, he wasn’t going to let Mason edge him on and make him seem like the aggressor by putting his hands on him.
He was going to wait for them to meet outside of Microloft.
“I’ll teach you a lesson the next time I see you, b*stard!”
The elevator closed.
The elevator opened on the top floor where Mason was to see Rita Donovan, the vice chairman of Microloft.
Gerald had already briefed Rita about Mason coming to the company’s headquarters.
Rita Donovan had been the vice chairman of Microloft for five years.
She was a prominent woman in Beverly Hills and climbed up the corporate ladder extremely fast.
She was known for her competence and served diligently. She was among the factors that brought Microloft to where they are now.
After the former chairman left, she was asked to stay behind to support the new chairman.
She was surprised to see that the new chairman was not Christian Wilde but rather his grandson, whom no one knew he had!
Mason approached her and she bowed to him. He seemed like a charming young man, not to mention the fact that he did not look the part at all.
She paid her respects either way.
“You’re welcome to Microloft, please come this way to my office.”

Waiting felt like eternity, but Mason was just simply grateful to have his friend there even if he had persuaded them to return home but was promptly ignored of course. He was still glad. Glad he did not have to go through something like this alone, it would have been a nightmare to be honest.Mason stared at the time, the surgery had been going on for about two hours now, but he refused to think negatively, he could not really afford it, so he sat still and told himself that they were only doing what needed to be done.He picked up the drink Young had bought finally, he needed to stay hydrated, so he threw it down his throat, grimacing in the process as it burned him while going down. And he sniffed, his throat dry, he did not like that so much time had passed by it was becoming worrisome.“Don't worry. It sometimes takes this long you know.” Young offered and Mason nodded at him with a grateful smile, his friends were everything. He had no idea how he would have survived the turmoil
Chapter 166
Through the bright haze of pain Scarlett could hear the nurses gasp as something got stuck, she knew that the atmosphere had changed, she was a sensitive person, so from the start of the labor itself she was already harboring terrible fears, and it seemed they were going to come through after all.The nurses tried their best to reassure her, they were the best in the business they said, all she needed to do was relax, it would be alright soon, but how could she? How could she relax when she felt herself losing strength by the minute. It was a terrible feeling, the weakness started from her head, sounds strange? Well that was exactly how it started, it started from her head and spread down slowly, leaving behind a terrible trail.She opened her mouth slowly and looked at the nurse, pleading with her eyes for her to come closer.“Mason.” Scarlett whispered pathetically and the woman sighed and patted her hand before leaning down.“Mr Wilde is out talking with the doctor ma'am, they are

“Ahhhhhh!” Scarlett's cries echoed down the hall where Mason was asked to stay as he paced with his friends, they were all thinking the same thing, if she was not in freaking labor, then why was she screaming so much, the sound was already Making Mason agitated. He could not hear it, and the more he paced with his face scrunched up in worry, the more worried his friends became.“I think we should try a different hospital.” Mark finally voiced out from where he sat with his head in his hands, and Mason's eyes immediately snapped to him in concern.“Why? What do you think is wrong with this one?” He asked anxiously, and Young immediately spoke over Mark, glaring at him to keep shut as he spoke.“Absolutely nothing Mason, do not listen to Mark, listen to good things only.” He cautioned, and Mark frowned but said nothing.Immediately he heard this, Mason's worst fear was confirmed and he stood to rush into the room Scarlett was in taking deep breaths with the nurse, her hair already matte
Chapter 164
Scarlett had been trained for such a situation, the water may most likely break in the middle of the night, they said, it happens to a lot of women, so fear not, they had advised, keep a calm head despite the heat of the moment and think rational thoughts, they had counseled.But Scarlett was in the heat of the moment, and ration was the least thing in her mind, not when she felt so anxious. The fact that the babies were not kicking her the night prior, and the fact that Mason was at ease with the company around him encouraged her to dismiss the nurses from hovering around her all night, she insisted she was alright, and with Mason being too distracted to pay attention, there was little they could do.But now she wished she could take it all back, the pain was back and back with a vengeance, with a crippling force that she could only gasp and hold her stomach. She was even afraid to move as the ground was slippery beneath her after her water broke. Scarlett was totally unprepared for
Chapter 163
Scarlett woke up from her nap, and was pleasantly surprised to hear Mason laughing downstairs. He never seemed to laugh anymore, and just followed her anxiously with his eyes, his legs practically vibrating with the force of stopping them from jumping up and helping her.But now she heard him laughing, something so carefree in his laughter that it brought a smile to her lips as she got to her feet with the help of the nurse that was previously knitting a hat in a corner of the room.She had only agreed to let her stay in the bedroom because she found it extremely difficult to pick herself up from the bed after laying on it, she was like a proper whale now.“You know Mason, worrying till he could not anymore had always been his motto.” Mark laughed, and they all echoed it, each recounting a time when Mason almost killed himself with worry for no reason, and Mason sipped at the drink with a laugh, feeling thoroughly chagrined.*My God!” Young said softly and in awe as he stared at a th
Chapter 162
Mason watched Scarlett gradually increase in size, and he had no idea what to feel, but one was sure though, the sight was dreadfully daunting. She was slim and fit one moment, and the next she was dragging her belly that had grown so big along that Mason was genuinely terrified that she might topple over one day, it was becoming a most genuine concern at that point.He was always hovering around and above her like a shadow, and knew that she was not pleased with it, but to Mason ever since she turned into an inflated balloon, she lost the right to decide what was best for her.The stay at home nurses he employed for her sake were paid to hover around her when he could not, and at that point Scarlett was venturing into crazy land.Mason knew that she was frustrated with his behavior, but he could not help it. She looked so tiny compared to her huge stomach that he felt the need to do something, anything, as this was partially his fault.He knew she said Children were blessings and tha
