Hanan got to the 100th floor and walked towards the entrance of the penthouse. She placed the key card on the door and it unlocked.Opening the door, she walked into the penthouse and then shut the door closed before walking to the living room.She surveyed the place with her eyes and didn’t see David anywhere.This was the second time she was coming to this place, but this time around the reason was different. Now she was really paying attention to the fact that this was where David spends his nights after a stressful day at work since the day he took over the Salvatore Group as the president.Sometimes she wondered how he had lived the past few years in her absence. Anytime she thought about it, she always felt remorseful, pain and anger. Remorse in the sense that she had left him without thinking twice or looking back even after knowing that he had gone to her house that particular Friday when her parents had left.Pain in the sense that leaving him had hurt her badly and had als
After seeing David off at the airport, Hanan was taken home by the bodyguard. She stepped into the house and felt lonely, but suddenly saw the butler named Santiago."Good evening, Miss Hanan.""Good evening, Mr. Santiago; you haven’t gone home yet?" "No, ma’am, the boss said he was going to be away, so I and the other workers are going to be spending the night here till he comes back?""Oh, I see," she concluded, that David must have told them to start spending the night because he doesn’t want her to feel lonely when she comes back to an empty house everyday."Would you want the chef to prepare dinner for you?""Yes, please, and also ask them to bring it to my room; I have work to do so I won’t be able to come down stairs.""Okay, ma’am, I will inform them."Hanan nodded, "Good night.""Good night, ma'am,"Hanan was about to work away but suddenly remembered something; she stopped and turned around again."Is there anything else, ma'am?" Santiago asked, seeing that she had turned b
“So you mean to tell me that for the past 3 days since the fire that happened in the factory is being investigated you have not come up with any valid reason or cause of the fire!?” David screamed at the factory manager “I'm sorry Mr Salvatore, I checked all CCTV footages but they were damaged beyond repair, I checked all around the factory if anything was tampered with but there was nothing, it's so strange” The factory manager found it strange that a fire had happened just like that, not just any kind of fire but the kind that could curse all the steel to melt.A kind of chemical that could melt steel must have been used in starting the fire, but they couldn’t smell the chemical or see any droplets of it.The temperature in the room dropped, everyone in the room felt like this might be their last day to live. Knowing what Mr Salvatore can do to them or rather what he is capable of doing to them, none of them made a single sound.David's face had darkened when the factory manager wa
Sean Salvatore stood in one of the mansion's large balconies as he overlooked the large expanse of land in the Salvatore estates where the family old mansion resides. His eyes bore no emotion, It was empty, but enough to put fear in anyone who looks into it. At his back about 5 feet away from him stood his secretary, whose head was down.The secretary stood in a rigid position as he waited for his ruthless boss to speak.After feeding his eye site with the view of the landscape, Sean turned around and stared at his secretary who was a middle aged man.“What exactly did David say?”“He said you should come to the company”“I see” Sean’s plan was to make his son come home for dinner after many years of him not doing so, but it seems that plan of his will not work out.“Set up a reservation in one of the finest restaurants, a table for 5 and then inform David to be there in the restaurant by 8pm for dinner”“Right way boss” The secretary said and then walked away.The moment the secret
“Hanan are you still there?” James asked so as to bring her out of her thought“Yes I’m” “So is it a yes”Hanan hesitated before responding “Yes”“Yey, finally she agrees for us to go out and have a meal” “It will be for few hours since I have to get back to work”“That is enough for me Hanan, a few hours is enough to have a meal”“What Restaurant?”“Why don’t you suggest?” He wanted her to decide which Restaurant they would go to so as to make her feel at ease.“High Restaurant, I will send you the address” Hanan said to him“Fine then” James said “See you shortly” James hanged up the callHanan stared at her phone and sighed, she typed the address of the Restaurant and sent it to James.James smiled when he saw that she had sent the address “It seems you are in a good mood today boss” Dave said when he saw the smile on his boss face“Of course I’m”“Did miss Hanan agree to go out and have a meal with you”James looked at him in surprise “How did you know?”“Because she is the onl
The Steel company under the Salvatore group had suffered great lose as a result of the fire that happened. The stock price keeps falling most especially since information of what caused the fire has not been brought at.Such situations like the fire that happened or any other thing that can cause damage to a company like this can happen which is why each company under the Salvatore group has an emergency fund. That emergency fund is being used in the reconstruction of the factory and buying new equipments.Even with the reconstruction of the factory, the stock price keeps falling and that is because reputation of the company is not yet fixed or repaired.To fix the Steel companies reputation in order for the stock price to go up, David needed to find out what exactly had caused the fire.The factory manager had done his investigation but had found nothing, Carlos hacker friend had looked through the cctv cameras and had found no one that might have caused the fire. Right now in the h
David has a private phone which is with him at all times and then he has two business phones which are most times with Carlos. Since the fire incident, his two business phones have been with Carlos 24/7. The bodyguards had sent the photos of Hanan having lunch with James to one of his business phones which is with Carlos. Since Carlos had seen the photo, he was supposed to show it to his boss, but he couldn’t because he knew how his boss would react to it.“Where are my phones!!” David shouted at him, making him shift away in freight.Carlos had left the phones in his room before coming here “It’s is in my room”“Go back now and get me the phoo….” David was not able to complete his statement when the phone in his hand suddenly rang. He looked at the caller's ID and saw that it was Hanan, David gave Carlos a look that said he will get back to him after he is done with the call.Carlos felt so relieved that the call had come at the right time to distract his boss from seeing the photos.
“I really missed you David” Laura said while resting her head on his chest David held both of her hands which was at his back and shifted her away from him, making sure she was two feet away from him before he strolled to the table.He stood in front of the table and looked at the three people sitting “Hello father” David greeted his father who he has not seen for a long time now.Sean nodded to his son greeting “Mr and Mrs Merlin it’s been years” David greeted “It has been years indeed, I’m impressed to see how much of a man you are now, including how you have become number one in the business world, although I’m not your father but I’m so proud” Mr Merlin said with smiles on his face and his wife nodded in agreement.“You should have your seat David” Mrs Merlin said to him.David nodded and then sat down “What are you still standing there like a statue for Laura, come sit close to David” Mrs Merlin said to Laura who has been standing close to the door staring at David.She slo
