It's 10 pm and Oliver is not yet back, Nuella tried his number twice but he did not pick. That was new because Oliver would pick her call at the first ring, she remembered him saying he will hang out with Alex and David so she decided to give David a call and after the first ring David picked.“Nuella”“Hey David, is Oliver with you, he is not picking”David who was standing outside the office of Alison looked towards Oliver, how is he to tell Nuella that Oliver fought Alex? that they had to take Alex to the hospital because of it.“He is fine and will be ho………” He was not able to finish his statement when Alison collected the phone from his ear.“Alison did not say anything to her…….”Alison gave him a cold look before walking away to go speak to Nuella.“Hello, hello David are you there? '' she was starting to feel something was wrong.“Hey Nuella, it’s me Alison”“Alison did something happen”“Yes, something happened” Alison sounded piseed Nuella stood up from the couch “What’s
“What do you mean by the meeting was canceled!” Rómulo’ shouted at Nuella’s assistant who just came to inform him that the crucial meeting that made him come to the company was suddenly cancelled.He had come for the crucial meeting but was suddenly told that it was canceled-."My granddaughter wouldn't just cancel such an important meeting!!""Sirrrr........sir, it was Mr Haywood, her husband that called off the meeting on her behalf" Alma, Nuella's assistant said as she shivered at the cold gaze of the old master."Oliver did what!!”“Sir he called and canceled her meeting”Romulo gritted his teeth “Hand me my phone James”James immediately handed him his cell phone and he put a call across Nuella. Oliver was already in control of all her life so why does he want to be in control of her work.The phone rang for a few seconds before it was picked up.“Nuella” Romulo called out “It’s Oliver” Romulo removed the phone in his ear and looked at the number to be sure he called the right
Soon the father and daughter took over the entire space in the kitchen as they started their baking section. Cia occasionally jumps up in excitement as she is about to learn something new. In her school they had taken her whole class on an excursion to a bakery and they got to see how different cookies and other pastries were made, it fascinated her greatly that she vowed to learn it. She sat on top of a kitchen counter far from the oven and cooking gas, her father had told her she needed to be far away from it for safety reasons. She sat there and watched as her father got everything ready that they will be using for baking.The chefs, including some maids and Rosa, stood outside the kitchen and peeped through the little opening on the door as they watched their master for the first time since they started working for him in the kitchen about to bake. It was a great shock to them. If anyone tells them that their almighty boss, the most powerful business man in the city, will one day

The party is scheduled to begin by 7pm which is about two hours from now but they came early so as to see the first guest arrive.“Is that not Mrs Haywood’s car approaching?” One of the reporters from Hcity daily news asked his senior colleague who looked towards the direction of the car approaching the giant gate.“Yes it’s her car” they immediately brought out their cameras and started recording.“It’s 5:20pm and Nuella Armstrong just arrived at the Armstrong residence for her grandfather's birthday party and from what we can see little miss Alicia her daughter arrived with her '' the cameraman videos the luxury car of Nuella as it drives into the estate.“We will surely come back online when o
The Armstrong estate is vast in size and has several buildings inside, one of which is a family temple and also a large reception building close to the mansion, the reception will be used for the banquet and everything has been put in place already. At about 6:30, guests began to arrive for the banquet.This isn’t just any guests, but people in the elite society, the Castillo family arrived, one of the top military families arrived, and other top people in the society also attended the banquet of the Armstrong family. Directors and other top employees of the Armstrong empire arrived at the banquet.Reporters from different media/tv houses took photos and videos and covered stories of the whole event.

She had immediately hugged both of them and kissed them on the cheek.“We could not
Raymond smiled as he advanced towards her, he enveloped her in a hug “I missed you my child” he said in an emotional toneNuella thought she was going to be angry when she saw him again or curse at him for leaving her instead of seeking for her forgiveness but here she was happy to see him.She wrapped her hands around him “Father” she said emotionally Romulo smiled when he saw this, he had made it possible that his son was here today.Other guests in the banquet all looked at the father and daughter. Those he knew started gossiping amongst themselves.“Seems like the old master has asked his son to return”“Yes it seems so”“Is she going to forgive her father?”“By the look of things she might forgive him” another person said Little Cia that was eating cookies immediately stopped eating when she saw tears in her mother’s eyes. Who was that man standing close to her mother? She was sure he had made her cry. Thinking about this she looked at her uncle Alex.“Put me down uncle Alex”“
“Daddy”“Yes baby”“You told me that grandpa died”Oliver moved his eyes away from his tablet and stared at her “Yes, do you want to see his grave?”“I will love to”“Okay baby you will see it the day we visit the family house for now you need to finish your food so you won’t be late for school”“Okay” Cia looked at her plate of cereal, she was sitting on her own chair and table having breakfast while her father was sitting down at the breakfast table drinking coffee. She picked up her spoon and started playing with her food. “What is it baby? You don’t like the cereal?” Oliver asked when he saw she was playing with the food.“I like it”“Then why are you not eating?”“Because I wanted to ask you something” Oliver dropped his tablet then faced her fully “What do you want to ask daddy?”“What about grandma, your mother?” She blinked her lashes.Oliver was silent for a while because he was thinking of the best thing to say to her “She is far away”“Far away?“Yes Cia”“Where? Is she
She had spoken to her grandfather yesterday and he even came back to the office but did not think it was necessary to tell her that he was the CEO of RNA and wanted them to become business partners. Is this how he plans for them to reconcile by keeping things away from her?Her grandfather on the other hand did not think it wise to inform her about this. She slowly scrolled through the page in the tablet and read his information as the chairman of the RNA company that deals with construction. From what she was reading here, it shows here that he had founded the company from scratch in France three months after he had left country A. She scrolled down and read more information on it.Nuella handed back the tablet to Alma who was standing close to her. “What do you plan to do now ma’am?“Invite them for a meeting tomorrow”“Okay ma’am I will do that right away, is there anything else you want me to do ma’am?”“Reschedule my last meeting to 5pm, I will be having dinner later with some f
