All Chapters of Tuberose: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

A cold environment is in the conference room. Everyone in the conference room is showering with sweat, though the air conditioner is working perfectly. All know that today either their salary will be deducted or will they lose their job. They are waiting for their boss who can enter anytime in the conference room. Michael Pattinson, the CEO, and owner of Pattinson Group. He is facing losses in his several business branches, mostly in the publication's company. Today the Pattinson group's share has fallen unexpectedly. God knows well what is going on in his mind. As expected he entered the conference room at sharp 11 am. This is the most accurate part of his character. He never forgets his commitments and always maintains the right time. Everyone in the conference room stands up. Michael doesn't even care to ask them to sit. He starts speaking without any greetings. All are listening without a blink. All are in the hope of not losing their job... ... Michael's pov - The Pattinson

Michael's pov - Now, what will I do? Though I am smiling and laughing, there is no way now without a miracle. But how will I handle the rest? I need to talk to Dad. Other businesses are okay but the publications! Now that has no income. All of the employees are getting paid by other businesses. But Dad is attached to the business. I can't deny the fact that today we are known because of that business. But emotion won't run the business. "We are at the office, Mick," Jack tells me as I am not getting out of the car. I look at him and get down from the car. It's filled with journalists. What the hell! "Sir, sir. What will you say about your share fall?" "Will Pattinson's group be shut down?" "How will you handle the situation?" "The shareholders!!! Will you gulp their money???" I couldn't answer any of them. I just avoided them with the help of guards and entered the office. I didn't meet with anyone, not even Jack. Just sitting in my cabin. At 4 pm, I have a meeting with all boar

Michael's pov - After finishing the internal meeting, we head to the jewelry shop to form this broken chain into a pendant. I am driving and Jack is resting his head as he is suffering from mild migraine. "I insist you go home and rest. I will be at home in no time." Though I know his answer, I still want to try. "As you are going home in no time then why should I leave you alone?" This stubborn friend won't listen to me. It's better to concentrate on driving. We reach the shop and they ask for an hour so I won't leave without taking it. I took a cab and sent Jack home forcefully. I choose to walk around to pass the time. I take off my blazer and keep it in my car. By folding my sleeves and unbuttoning my shirt's top two buttons, I start my walk carefreely. Without the car and a proper dress up, none look at me which is a lit in the heart. I walk almost for 10 minutes and the tune of the violin hits my ear curtains. It is gentle, soothing, and calming. I couldn't control my legs no

Michael's pov -I came home for a shower. Her face is coming in front of my eyes. The delightful bird has no movement. The way mom...My thought halts due to Dad's call."Mick. What's wrong? John told me that you returned with the blood-stained shirt. Is everything alright?" He is sounding worried. I wrapped the towel around my waist and came out of the bathroom."Hey, are you okay?" I hug him tightly."I repeated that Dad. I hurt someone again. So badly. I can't live with the guilt of being a murderer again, Dad." I fail to hold myself to him."It's okay. Just relax. What happened? Tell me." He is trying to console me."Dad, Actually..." I share each moment with him."Hmm." He sighs. "Let's go to the hospital. We can bring her back at any cost. Did you inform her family?" We are standing. So, I told him to sit down."Her mobile was fully destroyed. Jack went to fix that. Hopefully, it will be fixed." I enter my dressing room. I take my suit and change into it."Now, let's go." Dad is

Michael's pov - The whole day, it took time with several meetings to detect mostly the projects of our group which are at a loss. But in this, the book publishing company has been in full loss for years. I have to discuss this with Dad. I don't have any other option right now. I have to shut down that company. "What are you thinking, Mick?" Jack enters with a file. "Pattinson Publication. It's been a loss for so many years. I think we should close this company." I look into his eyes from my computer screen. "Are you serious? Dad will never agree with this. You know the reason. He is emotionally attached to this." He is trying to explain to me which I know. "Emotion won't run a business. I have no option without this. Do you think I want to do this? Moreover, I already have an idea about Dad's reaction. But I am helpless. Not only this, I am planning to close 3 more businesses." I don't know what else to do at this moment. "What are you saying, Mick? What about those employees? Wh
