Unstoppable Jack

Chapter 5: Maybe good luck?

Jack hissed as the doctor applied a little ointment to the bruised area. Apparently, Carlos had taken him to one of the best physicians. He had been told that the wounds weren't too serious and this news thrilled Jack alot.

"Once you get some rest in few days to come, you will be able to recover from these wounds." The doctor proclaimed, placing the wool he had on his hands back to the case. Jack and Carlos mouthed a word of appreciation to the physician, before he would leave.

Once he was out, Jack could not hold himself any longer from asking the obvious question that came to his head. "When do I get to see my company?" It felt odd that he was referring to a huge organization as his own.

"The choice is yours sir. I already placed a call across to the board of directors, revealing that you have been found and they are in dire need to see your face once more." Judging from the countenance on his face, Jack could tell that he had always been a good boss to everyone across. 

As Jack laid his back towards the couch carefully, his eyes fixated on Carlos, who was on his phone. "It still feels like a dream." Jack's comment would catch Carlos attention. The latter placed his phone aside and stared at his boss, curious to know what he had gone through.

"Do you know I used to have a job?" Jack revealed, remembering his times with the delivery company. "People were so cruel to me. Sometimes I ask myself what I ever did to deserve the unnecessary hate I get from these people." Jack pulled away the drop of tear that attempted to fall off his eyes.

"It's alright now sir, everything is back to normal. I am glad that i found you and trust me when I say this, my allegiance is with you and only you alone." A smile broke out of Jack's lips. He had met Carlos barely minutes ago, but the latter had shown more trust to him than anyone.

Jack got flashes of his wife Jen sleeping with Jeff and the raw anger and hate kicked in again. This propelled him to sit back up with all the strength he could muster and also with the aid of Carlos.

"What is the matter boss?" Carlos asked, after helping him on his feet.

"Is there a possibility to fix an emergency meeting with the board right now?" Jack watched on as the Carlos stared at his watch. 

"They would be most thrilled to have you sir." Carlos revealed and pulled out his phone, punching several words into his phone. "It's done sir." He revealed after a few minutes.

The reason for Jack sudden call for a meeting was to instantly announce his return and kick-start the operation of the company. His cheating wife had simply placed the zeal within to get back to his feet.

"I will be needing a suit." Jack revealed, getting up to his feet and examining the bruises on his arm. The pain on his abdomen had longed disappeared, and all that was left at the moment, was for the bruises to disappear.

"I thought you would be needing a suit, which is why I had already made arrangements. They should be here in..." Carlos stared at his watch again and suddenly, the door bell rang through. "This minute." He finally completed his statement.

Jack watch Carlos get to the door and return with an package. He gently placed the package, which had been wrapped in a box on the table and opened it. Jack had his mouth wide apart as the beautiful Armani suit, stared back at him. 

He had seen his boss in the delivery company, wear this and he could understand if they cost a fortune.

"You can go change in the room sir, I will have the car ready." Carlos stated, getting up to his feet and attempting to leave the living room. 

"Carlos?" Jack called out, forcing the latter to stop on his track and stare back, waiting for a perfect response.

"Thank you...for everything." Jack indicted with all sense of honesty he could easily speak about. Carlos had a smile on his face before leaving the living room. While Jack on the other ha d picked up the suit and step inside the room to get changed.

After a few hour of getting ready, Jack stared at himself in the mirror and was amazed by the being standing right in front of him. He could have sworn he was staring at a model, but the mirrors didn't life about reflection; the images they portrayed were simply his and only his alone.

He stepped out of the room and slowly navigated his way out of the apartment, which belonged to Carlos. The moment the latter laid eyes on him, a huge smile filled up his face.

"It's an honor seeing you back again sir." The formality in his tone, left Jack impressed. They both stepped into the black Beamer and moved out of the apartment.

When they arrived at the corporation headquarters, which was located at the outskirt of the city, Jack was absolutely bewildered, by the astronomical building he was gazing at the moment. This was twice the size of any company he had laid eyes on.

Carlos ushered him inside the company, which had amazing interior designs that could simply come out as exquisite. He walked beside Carlos till they got to an elevator, which ascended both of them up to a long hallway.

As Jack continued to walk behind Carlos in the hallway, he noticed frames on the wall; these frames were simply aesthetics and Jack could have predicted he had instructed they fixed it there. His conformity with these art work spoke absolute volume.

They arrived at a door with an inscription revealing a board room. Right before Carlos would get the door opened, he took one look at his boss once more. Jack on the other hand was anxious, but was still hopefully. He was determined to handle the meetings appropriately and get everything back together. His life was taking a new shape and nothing seemed to be slowing him down.
