Mark had bought for him Tequila Ley .925 Diamante: $3.5 million

Tequila Ley claims its .925 Diamante tequila is the most expensive bottle of tequila in the world. The brand first launched it in 2007 with a jaw-dropping price tag of $1 million. It didn’t sell, and the brand reintroduced this extravagant creation in 2016 with a far higher price: $3.5 million. The bottle contains an ultra-premium blend distilled from agave from Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is slow-roasted and distilled twice in copper pot stills. Then, it sits for up to seven years in French oak barrels, yielding a rich flavor profile of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak.

His wife Miriam, had gotten a gold wrist watch for him.

He decided to check the briefcase his grandson Richard had given to him by himself. He opened the briefcase and saw two things there, one was a wrist watch, The Graff Diamonds Hallucination.

Priced at $55 million, this diamond-decked Graff masterpiece is said to be the most expensive watch in the world. It is made up of a total of 110 carats of colored diamonds, including pink, blue, green, orange, and yellow.

His mouth turned to O. He couldn't believe his eyes. One of his rich friends had similar but lower piece and he had envied him. He wanted one for himself but could not buy one. If he dares to buy one for himself the company might suffer, because the company was going through crisis already, so for the sake of the company he decided against. And now he was holding one in his hand. And expensive one at that. He couldn't believe it. He hope not to wake up from this dream, if indeed it was a dream.

He was so happy. He had not been this happy for a long time now. He decided immediately that he would favor Richard his grandson.

He carefully put the wrist watch back to it's pack and placed it on the large wooden table in his room. He plans to put it in his locker where he stores expensive items later.

He decided to check the other items which looks like a documents. He was wondering what it could be. He took out the document and started reading it.

As he was reading it, bid of sweats started forming on his forehead. He wiped his eyes countless times to be sure that he was not dreaming but everything seems the same. He gave the document to his assistant to confirm the document and he confirmed that it was indeed it what it was.

Grandpa kept silence for a long time. He was wondering how his grandson Richard could lay his hands on such document. He wondered how he could solve such huge problem that his company has been facing for the past five years now without him discussing it with his grandson Richard. He was at the verge of losing his company, the company has almost gone into great bankruptcy.

And here he was holding this document saying that everything has been restored and the company is back in it's full grace. He had mixed emotions. He was very happy and at the same time confused on how his grandson Richard was able to pull through such huge matter.

Remembering his attitude when his father Mark was asking him, when he would join the company, shows that he might not even care to tell him how he was able to save his dieing company.

Nevertheless, he would definitely make him the CEO of the company, since he was able to save the company within a short period of time. It means only one thing, that he is the right person to handle the company. And with him the company might even grow global.., he thought as he smiled from ear to ear. He was so happy. He thanked the Lord for making him see the seventy-ninth birthday of his life. He can now die a fulfilled man, knowing that the company is now in good hands.

He decided that he must make him responsible for the company, willingly or not. What his two sons and the other children couldn't do for him and his company was what his grandson Richard has done within a day of his arrival. 'He is my successor' he said with finality in his heart.

He decided to take a nap and rest his head a little before going to visit his garden as usual or go fishing if possible when he wakes up.

Amanda POV

Everyone was anticipating to see the legendary Richard whom everyone talks about and all the female drools for. I hope he lived to up his status.

Everyone was already seated at the dining table waiting for the legendary Richard. He was must be rude for keeping the elders waiting.

After about thirty minutes to the time of breakfast, my eyes sighted the most handsome man l have ever seen. He has hazel eyes. He had broad shoulders. He's well built. He must be exercising a lot. Who knows how he would be under his shirt.

He was putting on white shorts and white shirt leaving all the buttons open, he was wearing tee-shirt inside with his left hand inside his left pocket. He was holding his smart phone in his left hand as he walks to the dining table. He was walking majestically with his shoulders high. Every step he took speaks of power and authority. One look, will tell you that he was not a man to be messed with.

When he reached the dining table, he mumbled good morning to everyone and sat down without apologizing for his lateness. How rude. He might be handsome and wealthy but l don't want such prideful person as my man. He might have the looks and all but he's too prideful.

He was receiving glares from all angles. He was less concerned about the glares. He didn't give a damn about them. He focused on what he was doing with his phone.
