Chapter 9 She felt cold shivers all over her body that she couldn't get hold of herself. "What's happening?" She kept wondering what the problem was as the experience is totally strange and relative to an ugly situation about to occur. Her sudden fright was as result of an ugly situation that was about to take place... Before Now_ during the working hours... Roberto and Roland are actually vibing with each other like they've known for decades. It was so easy for them get along and guess what? Roland is lucky to work in such a company where his efforts are not taken for granted. Where his Presence is not being undermined. Starting from having an approachable Billionaire Mr Benson to his son, Roberto who is about to become his closest if not best friend in a short while. Roland would spend every slightest free time he got that day to educate Roberto on how the company has been run even though he was Mr Benson's Son. He also mentioned all their staff to him and the roles they play in the Company "There are two ladies here in this company that your father, the CEO doesn't take for granted because of their level of commitment to the growth of the company." Said Roland "Wow, all of you guys are just wonderful here." Roberto replied in amazement. These two ladies are Eliza and Maya. They're hardworking, courageous and more especially Eliza_ she's a workaholic lady who gives her best to the work she's doing. As a matter of fact, she's a passionate botanist. We have won so many contracts on her account and that's why your Dad doesn't take her for granted." Roberto kept showing expression of joy and gratitude for the fact that his father was intelligent enough to get and work with the right people as a team. After a very long time of conversation, Roberto retired to his Dad's office while Roland continued with work. "Wow, what sort of a Billionaire's son is this? He's humble to a fault. I hope people like Angela wouldn't take him for granted" Roland soliloquised He opened the door and came in while His Dad was lying on the desk. "Hey Dad! Are you sleeping?" He said touching his Dad "Mr Benson raising his head "Son, you should knock before entering my office, this is my office for crying out loud." He corrected "Dad, am I supposed to knock before entering my father's office, my own father?" Yes, knock before you enter. It is an official ethic." "Ok Dad, I'm sorry for barging in on you " Roberto apologized "So how may i help you?" Mr Benson asked putting on his glasses. "Eehm Dad, you really did a great job here and I'm proud to be your son." Roberto frankly commended "Have Roland been able to put you through all you're supposed to know?" "Yes Dad, but to some point. We will continue when he's changed." Replied Roberto "Now..." Mr Benson adjusted in his seat "I want you to know that in a short while, everything about this company will be handed over to you including all our documents and contracts, you will be the one handling them . Son, I want you to make me proud and I know you will make me proud. I'm counting on you, the whole family is counting on you, your future children are counting on you. Don't disappoint us." These were the kind words of a responsible billionaire father to a responsible son. I bet you that Roberto must have been a responsible son of his father , if not why would his father consider handing over his lifetime investment to him? That wouldn't be possible, right? "Dad, I promise to make you proud, I promise never to disappoint you. You have taken me through the right path in life and i would never deviate from Roberto assured "Alright son, like I said I'm counting on you" Roberto shook his head in agreement. After this conversation, it was time for departure and they all left the working premises. Mr Benson and his son went home in his car. While they were about to go, Angela was hiding somewhere admiring the Young, fresh and handsome son of a Billionaire, Roberto. "I wish he would give me a chance to be his girlfriend then i will be the happiest lady on earth. Let me see how all these ladies in this company will not be sacked", she kept soliloquizing and blushing until Roberto and his Dad entered the car and zoomed off. Back to Eliza... At this point in time she's in a haste to get back home and cover up herself with a duvet waiting for the incident as she knows that something terrifying will definitely happen. "I think I should call Maya, she's the only one I can talk to right now. I don't know what's happening with me." She then picked up her phone and dialed Maya's number. "Why is she not picking her calls?" Eliza lamented. After a few times of trial, she picked up at sixth time. "Oh my goodness, she picked" Maya's house... Maya had come back home after a long day at work and a cool lunch with her closest friend, Eliza. She came into the house looking so tired and exhausted. She came into her sitting room, threw herself on the couch as she removed her high heel shoes. After a while she carried her shoes and bag to her room. Then a few minutes later after a moment of rest... Maya was in the kitchen making her meals while her phone was in the sitting room. The phone kept ringing but she wasn't picking up. After so many calls, she picked at the sixth trial. "Aah aah, why is Eliza calling so frequently like this? I hope all is well?" Just then she picked the call "Hello, Eliza are you alright? What's happening?" She asked. Eliza over the phone "I...I " She said with her voice shaking tremendously. "Eliza, talk to me. Are you ok?"
