“Celine, give 5% to your sister, yes? Good girl” he asked as if Celine already agreed.
“Celine – 55%; Linda will have 15%; Daniel another 15%” he furrowed his eyebrows.
His math is not tallying.
“What’s wrong with this stupid paper?” he lashed out.
Attorney Dawson wanted to laugh seeing his old friend.
“Jeffrey, force the board to give up 5%. That’s on you. Break” he didn’t want to compute anymore.
The good lawyer stopped the video and faced the furious Minerva.
“The video has not yet ended, Minerva. Maybe your portion will be stated towards the end” he gave his opinion.
“You think? Maybe? You know your friend Jeffrey. He’s humiliating me” she said dramatically.
“Do I need to sign, anything?” Celine suddenly asked.
“To allocate the 5% to my sister?” she asked sarcastically.
“I
“Fuck!” Clint cursed.He was enjoying the company of three strippers since last night and he doesn’t want to be bothered right now.“What else?”“Nothing, we had to postpone because she had stomach cramps”“Did Mr. Yates leave her anything?”“15%” Clint could only whistle.15% of billions is still a lot.“How much does my princess have?” he continued to ask of the breakdown and Minerva continued to answer him.“What do we do now? I cannot let that Linda Lopez get a piece of the pie” Minerva asked in panicked.“You do nothing, Minerva”“If anything happens to Linda, it will come back to you”“Focus on the princess, if you play it right, she will do everything for us” he ended the call as he fondled one of the strippers.If the princess has the biggest share, maybe he should sta
“Babe, I want to see Linda. I cannot sleep” Celine said when she opened her eyes.Daniel let out a soft chuckle then opened the black-out curtain.Celine could not believe the sun is already up.She thought she was awake the whole time.She must be very tired to oversleep.When they reached the hospital, she got confused.Where is Linda?“We moved her to another location last night. Since someone has been monitoring our house, we need to stay here for a while” Daniel explained.“But I want to see her. I need to explain why I did that. She cannot be mad at me, right?” she asked worriedly.“She loves you more than anything. Don’t worry about it”After waiting for an hour, they decided to leave the hospital.“Confirmed location, boss” the driver of the black car called Clint after seeing Daniel’s car coming out of the hospital&ldqu
The room was still silent even after Daniel’s confirmation.No one wanted to break the silence.“Aaron, come with me” Daniel took Aaron to the corner to discuss their plan for tonight.Based on Minerva’s words, Clint will take action on Linda.They need to be prepared.The next day, both Celine and Daniel received a call from Attorney Dawson.They will resume the reading of the will.When they reached the office, Minerva was already there sitting proudly at the sofa.“Ahh, Celine darling. I had the most peaceful sleep last night”“I feel so light as a feather, one less nuisance out of the way” she said proudly.“Attorney Dawson, let’s start” Minerva said directing the flow of events inside the room.“Shouldn’t we wait for Linda?” Celine asked innocently.“I’m afraid Linda won’t be able to join us any
Minerva let out a nervous laugh.“No, of course not. You know – ““Then Linda Lopez will retain her shares. We will honour father’s last wishes as it is”“Anyone who has objections, feel free to return everything my father has given you” she looked around to see anyone who would object.“Is there anything else, Uncle Jeffrey?” she wanted to escape from there as soon as possible.“Nothing else, only the re-distribution of the shares will be made public”“The rest of the details will be kept confidential”“Next reading will be on your 30th birthday. Five years from now” Attorney Dawson said with formality.He was never a fan of Celine.He always thought she is a spoiled little brat who always get what she wants and who would get away from responsibilities.But no matter how wayward she is, she doesn’t des
The next morning, she woke up with a splitting headache.She doesn’t remember most of what happened.Good thing she went out with Aaron, at least she was sure he sent her home.Everything was still blurry as she tried to open her eyes again.She dashed to the toilet when she felt her stomach rumbling and vomited inside.She hated that feeling.It was very painful to feel the acid coming up to your throat after being wasted the night before.She must have drunk a lot.She usually stops after a glass. She will have another if Linda is around.She looked at the mirror but she didn’t like what she saw.Just when she allowed herself to feel, all the feelings came in at once.She washed her face and brushed her teeth but tears kept on flowing.No matter how many times she splashed water on her face, the tears kept on coming.She closed her eyes and dry her face one last time.&ldq
“Miss Grant, do you want to press charges?” the social services officer asked her.“No need, officer. I just want it to be documented just in case it happens again”“I was still a minor when it last happened and I failed to report it. I just want to make sure that I’m doing the right thing now” she said to the officer sincerely then signed her written statement.After she finished at the hospital, she decided to check-in in a hotel.She decided to sleep again.What else can she do?She’s hung-over, she’s broken-hearted, she got slapped and she’s rich.She has all the reasons to laze around.She slept the whole afternoon and when she woke up, she requested for a breakfast meal.The kitchen staff wanted to curse the guest at the VIP room.They were busy preparing for dinner and some rich guest wanted to have waffle and bacon.After filling her tummy,
She spent the whole week in the hotel trying to break her habit.After Aaron provided her with security, she felt more at ease.She tried to be more selective and filtered her friend’s list further.Her team has been calling her regarding their project and she’s been communicating with them online.But her team doesn’t want to believe that she’s sick anymore.As Nadia put it, ‘who goes on one-week medical leave without going to the hospital and without dying’?Arrggghhhh.She wanted to scratch the woman’s face.Being a smart ass is not always good.Especially when that someone is outsmarting her.She hated it.After her meeting with the team, she found out, they just wanted to brag that they completed the project ahead of schedule.She wanted to slam her laptop on their heads one by one.They forced her out of her hotel room just to brag about their br
The next day, she noticed a blanket covering her body.Did she oversleep again?When she checked on Daniel, he was still sleeping.Maybe Tiff dropped by early in the morning to check on them.Just in time, the food was delivered in the food trolley.When she checked the food, she wanted to file a complaint.She composed herself and calmly called the nurse station.“Can you connect me to the kitchen staff please” she asked politely.As soon as her call connected, she was not able to control herself.“How can my husband recover properly if you will feed him processed foods?”“I’m not a nutritionist, but even I know that waffle and bacon is not good for a patient”“Have you shifted from being a hospital kitchen to a hotel kitchen?” she berated the staff who answered her call.She did not let the other party to reply and hung up the phone.Then
