Everyone was already seated when I arrived at the dining table. I went straight and sat at the empty sit beside grandpa.
Good morning l mumbled as l sat down down. The looks on their faces were priceless including grandpa they were surprise to see me. They thought l won't come back again. I sat down with unreadable expression.
Happy birthday grandpa, age gracefully l told him sincerely, not giving a damn about the stares I was getting. I thought you didn't remember my birthday.
That's not possible l said with a smirk. As we were still discussing, my assistant came in with a briefcase and presented it to grandpa. He took it and placed it beside him. I will check it later, he spoke out to the hearing of everyone, present at the dining table.
You took us by surprise, we all thought you won't be coming back since you didn't come back when we expected you to come back, Michael said mockingly.
I'm a man of my words, l said confidently with a smirk. It seems that I'm in the midst of wolves in sheep clothing. But that's the best people l love staying or working with.
we were still discussing when a beauty came to my side to serve me food. I literally withdraw from the discussing with the rest of the family.
She smells like rose, she tied her hair in a ponytail. She has a beautiful eyes and a pointy nose. Her lips was full which was begging for a kiss. And she has a very nice shape. Her boobs and her waist were in their right sizes. She's extremely beautiful. She must have been a mermaid in her past life, l said to myself, sincere praying that l am not thinking aloud.
I can't stop Oging at her. I don't want to stop. Sir, your food is served, her angelic and melodious voice brought me at of my reverie. And her voice sends shivers to my body and down to my junior. Damn, what is she doing to me already.
I came back to my senses and concentrated on the food before me but my mind was never at rest. Is she a maid or a chief? I hope she's the later, so it would be easier for my status to accept her. I want to have to myself only.
Son, my dad's voice brought me back my trance. When will you join the company? He asked. I gaze towards him. I was getting glares from all angles already. From this glares I'm sure they don't want me to join the company. I have enemies already without asking for one. There was indeed war going on in this family.
Anyway I don't care to know, they can kill themselves for all l care, l don't give a damn. They are all invisible to me. They all must be very foolish, thinking that l came to take away the little company from them. If not for my father, I won't be here with such low lives.
When will you join the company? My dad asked again. When am through with what I'm doing. I replied already pissed with the question.
He opened his mouth to say something but decided against it. Better for him, l scuffed.
I checked my wrist watch, stood up to leave when my mom stopped me. You have not eaten anything she said worriedly. I'm good mom l have an important place to be now to you later, taking one last gaze on the beautiful mermaid before turning to leave.
I know if gaze could kill grandpa would have killed me already, because he was burning me with his gaze throughout without altering and word. I'm not one of his clawns that he can toss from side to side. I'm my own boss.
This child has turned to something else, I'm not sure he can be tamed anymore, Michael thought aloud.
Indeed his wife Lily encouraged him. Richard's mom scuffed and continued eating. Grandpa, it's clear that he is not interested in joining the company. He's so full of himself. He's full of pride. I wonder what his contribution to the company would be, Ray Michael' s son said mockingly.
I know he can't even solve one-equater of the company's problem, Mandy Michael 's daughter said with a smirk. It was as if they were mocking Richard.
Enough!!! Grandpa roared in anger, keep quiet, he said authoritatively. Instantly silence took over. He was indeed respected. And his words are law in this mansion.
Out of anger he stopped up and left the dinning table but stopped on his way to his room when he remembered the briefcase case his grandson Richard has gifted him as his birthday gift to him. He went back and took the briefcase as he went straight to his room.
He was so eager to know what was in the briefcase. When he entered his room, he made himself comfortable in one of the King-size sofa in his room as he ordered his right hand man to unwrap the gifts that his family had given him.
Actually he didn't celebrate his birthday with a party as usual but he decided to celebrate it with his immediate family. Although some of his close friends sent him birthday messages and some gifts but he was more interested in the gift his family had given him.
He started from his first son and his family. Michael gifted him, Caran d’Ache 1010 Diamond Edition – (Worth $1.28 Million)
The Caran d’Ache 1010 Diamond Edition is a fountain pen that is made of white gold and is encrusted with 850 diamonds. This pen is a true work of art and is a testament to the craftsmanship of Caran d’Ache. He saw it smile, he loved it.
Michael 's wife Lily gave him gold necklace and his son Ray gave him a set of shoes while his daughter bought a set of cufflinks for him. He was happy with all the gifts. He then decided to check the gifts his other son and family had given him.
