The general shareholder's meeting came sooner than he expected and Jaxon was prepared for it. Not that there was anything much to the meeting anyways except presenting the profit and loss for that year, determining some issues with the shareholder's votes, and seeing if he remained CEO that year.He hoped he did cause the shareholders could easily put him out of his position and his uncle had been gathering a lot of shares.He sighed."Are you going to let us go or are you going to keep breathing nervously?"He looked at his best friend beside him and shrugged, "I'm not breathing nervously, I'm just making sure I'm ready,""Well let's go cause the shareholders are already waiting,""Okay then,"He picked up his materials and headed out of the office going to the second floor where the board room was."Okay, here we go,"And he walked in with Silas taking in the participants of the room.In sat his uncle, his father figure, the other shareholders in the company, and some board executiv
Three years later,Jaxon walked to the German international airport that afternoon carrying the little bag of luggage he had brought with him and he breathed in the fresh air of Germany.He was wearing a warm outfit of sweats and sneakers and he put on his sunglass before going to the taxi that was waiting in the corner, “sorry please, I’m going to any hotel that is good in the area?”“Any hotel?”“Yes, just someplace I can stay before going back,”“Then get in, I know a very good one,”“Oh really, thank you,”He got in and the driver drove him to the hotel where he would be staying for that night. He just had something to check before he went back to America and he hoped it was right.He seriously hoped.They got to the hotel and he came out of the car thanking the driver, “thanks so much,”“no problem, that would be 30 dollars,”He paid the driver and got his baggage before walking into the hotel that said Bulgari’s.“Hello and welcome to Bulgari’s hotel, how may we help you?”“I’ll
Alva watched as Jaxon stood up from the position he had taken to greet her son and she felt anxious. She hadn't expected to meet him at all and she didn't know what to say."Mummy?"She looked at the boy that was now in her hands and looked back at him, oh the baby, he must be confused.She looked around for a moment to try to orient herself and she saw Jessie coming at that moment, "oh thank god, Jessie,""Alva where have you been, I was looking for you...""Jessie?"They both turned to look at Jaxon who was staring at them dumfounded and she bit her lip slowly, he hadn't known about Jessie too,"Jaxon?""I thought you said you didn't know where she was!""I didn't, I didn't know seriously, I just met her a few months ago and she was even the one that contacted me,"He scoffed, "wow,""Jessie..."Alva interrupted, "...take jay and go to the house, I'll meet you there,""But...""The exhibition is about to be over and the manager will take of it, so stay with Jay, at least he knows you
Jaxon looked at the painting he had bought from the exhibition and he sighed. He hadn't expected to buy it but he hadn't expected to see Alva with a child.Like when did she have time to see another man, hadn't she missed him? How could she have another child when they were still married?He ruffled his hair multiple times and didn't see the attendant that came to him, "excuse me, sir?""Uhn?" He looked at her."Would you like some wine... I see you're distressed?""No no, I'm fine,"If he took a wine now, he wouldn't be able to stop and that wouldn't be good, he would just wait till he was home, then he would drink himself into a stupor.He leaned against the cushioned chair and waited for the plane to arrive in America.Once it did, it was the next day already, about some hours into the morning and he took a cab to his villa, he just wanted to drink himself to a stupor and die probably.He was so stupid, what had made him think she would wait for him, that she still liked him, she h
Jaxon sat at the meeting the next morning looking at the papers and he raised his head, "so the results haven't changed?""No, it's still the same as last time and I need we need to improve the programming,""Okay, so what do you say Mr peters?""I think it's right, maybe we could ask Miss Smith from the subsidiary company, I mean she's doing so well there and is making waves and I think we should take advantage of the fact that we are the holding company,""Okay, I'll talk to her and see what I can do but for now, work among yourselves and come up with something, I want answers on my desk by Friday,""Okay, sir,"He left the room and went back to his office where Jordan was already waiting for him."Josephine?""Hey Jaxon, you're here?""Yup,""I heard you were having a meeting with the tech team and thought I should wait in the office,""Yes, we were even talking about you and they said I should bring you to the holding company...""What, why would they say that?""Because you're ma
The drive was made in silence, both of them saying nothing and Alva didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected to meet him at the airport and her mind was just blank.She knew he had a lot of questions but he wasn't asking anything making her more nervous. She cleared her throat, "so how have you been?"He looked at her and shrugged, "good, you?"She nodded too.Was that all... Was that all he was going to ask her or was he prepping his questions ready?She made another attempt at chit-chat, "so what have you been up to?""Nothing, just going to work and coming back,""Oh...""Yeah,"She kept silent again feeling slighted and she wondered where he was taking her Like what was the point of taking her somewhere if he was going to be vague?She decided to go for it, "okay I know you have a lot of questions but why are you not asking?""Oh I'm going to ask, I'm just giving you some breathing space before I bombard you with them,"She looked at him taken aback, she hadn't expected that a
The shoot was done within an hour and Madison went into the dressing room to change into her clothes. She had her jeans which she had worn to the shoot and she checked her phone to see if she had gotten any missed calls from Jordan... She hadn't.She wondered if she had done too much by saying she was Josephine’s girlfriend. Like yes she was but she shouldn't have blurted it out like that, it must have startled Josephine.She had just been jealous that her girlfriend's Ex was back and she had wanted to ascertain her stupid position, the girl had a girlfriend.She sighed."You good?"She turned to the door which her manager walked through and nodded, "yeah, why?""You've just been gloomy all day, I'm wondering if you're okay?""Yes I am, I just need a little rest,""Well you can have it, you've done a beautiful job today and beauty cosmetics called to say you have the contract,""Oh... that is great,""Hmm, but I expected more than that...""Like what, jumping for joy?""I wouldn't say
The house was how she remembered it, the front yard with the fancy flowers to the swimming pool that had lights in them, and she wondered why it was there, no one used it.There were the tall trees too and the front porch that had a rocking chair on it, she climbed the stairs to ring the doorbell."Coming," she heard the housekeeper say from inside and the door soon opened to reveal the woman."Alva!" She gasped, looking like she had seen a ghost.She hadn't called the house to tell them she was coming and she wondered what their reaction would be when they saw her."Hi, Ms. Laura...""Oh my God, come in... Where were you all this time, your dad looked for you all this while, I can't..."She didn't hear the rest, her dad had looked for her. She walked in puzzling that in her mind, what did that mean, does that mean he had forgiven her, was he even concerned in the first place?She placed the cookies which she had brought in Laura's hand and removed her coat, "where is he?""Study... He
