Mr Greyson enjoyed the night view of the beautiful city as he smoked his cigerrete. He was too angry to face the young man, so instead he backed him. "Let me get this straight Greyson Junior. You mean to tell me that, you drove all the way here to see me, all because of your transfer?"
"Yes dad" you haven't been taking me serious. I decided to come visit you since i'm in America for a meeting."
Neto looked at the old man whose back was in front of him...his father was almost sixty, but he didn't look his age. The old man was sill handsome and sturdy. If he wasn't his son, he'd have thought the man was competing with him. He had heads turning wherever he went. The man visits the gym every morning.
" I thought you were kidding. Why will you want a transfer because of a woman? Don't tell me I gave birth to a coward. We Grayson's don't run away from our problems, we face them head on." Mr Greyson muttered.
"Yeah dad. Like the way you handled my mom's case. I don't need your advice when it comes to women dad. I can do bad all by myself."
" I've been working diligently for you for years, without complaining. Please grant my request and have me moved to any of the company abroad, please dad"
Mr Greyson sighed ignoring his son's first statement, he put the cigerrete in the ashtray and turned to face his son. "Ok Greyson Junior, tell me what the problem is and I'll help you handle it. You know I'm popular with the ladies. I need you here to help me run things, and you know no one does a thorough job like you."
"Dad I don't need your advise on this ok? Over the years, i've heard you countless time tell me not to be weak and give up on my dreams. And that's what I'm trying to do that....I don't want anything to hold me back"
"Hold on son, are you telling me you love that CEO lady, is this about her? "
Frustrated, Neto ran his hand through his hair. "It isn't about her and it's non of your business dad. Just sign the fucking paper." Neto couldn't bear to stay in the same room with his father anymore so he walked out without waiting for him to reply.
Mr Grayson's shoulder fell as he watched his son walk away. As much as he has tried to make the boy be like him, it wasn't going the way he expected.
He convinced the poor to come live with him when he was of age so he could influence him but yet the boy still takes after his mom. If Neto had told him about this issue two months ago, he would have been confident about the answer but recently he hasn't been proud of some of the decisions he made in his life.
Yeah, he tries to keep fit but he alone knows his age and he wasn't getting any younger. He sees his mate with their daughters, sons and grandchildren....although he has it all "money, fame and his looks" sometimes he gets lonely. He knows his son despise him sometimes because of what he did to his mother but thanks to failed marriages and broken home, his son is still scared of commitment.
Now he didn't know if he should advise his son for, or against it. He was going to stay by the sidelines and watch how the whole thing unfolds. He only prays that heaven help his son make the right decision.
"So how did your game go last night? " Sky asked her sister as she worked on her laptop.
"Surprisingly, it went well. And I won sist...he refused to accept defeat so we played for hours until I doze off. Like I said sist, it's difficult to understand him."
"Allright it's good to know that you two are becoming friends. Mrs Rose sent me a text, that if I don't hand everything over to Aidenn by the end of this month, she'll take it to the press."
"We only have next week, wow that means no more two weeks. "
"I'm sorry dear but we have to work fast" Sky said as she gave her sister an apologetic look.
After work, Dwayne drove to the hospital to see Soma. She kept on thanking him, up till the point he got embarrassed. She had originally thought that a good Samaritan settled half the bill, but when she heard some of the nurses today talking ....she was shocked. They were talking of how lucky she was to have a very handsome boyfriend and one who could get Dr Feige in such short notice. She had wanted to run to his work place to thank him but she held herself until he came to visit.
Dwayne explained to her that it was his boss who settled the bill and got Doctor Feige to operate on her father. But she still kept thanking him. Saying if he hadn't called his boss and asked her for a favour, that her father might not be here now.
" So when can I see your boss? to tell her how grateful I am." Soma asked, avoiding Dwayne's eyes.
"Well she doesn't really like things like that and would prefer if you call her." Seeing her face fall, Dwayne continued " But maybe when she's less busy....you can see her but not now."
"Ok thanks Dwayne"
Dwayne noticed the way she looked everywhere but his face....she was soo shy. And she looked really cute. He smiled as he watched her eat.
"That was really delicious Addy, thank you. I'm afraid I'll get fat, if you continue feeding me like this" Aidenn sat lazily on the couch, picking his teeth.
"l'm glad you enjoyed it. Told you I'm working on my cooking."
"So what do you want to do tonight? "
"Well there's this new movie I wanna see, and i hear it's out...Infact my friends watched it earlier today, they will be showing it by 8:30pm today" Jenna said, checking her wrist watch
"Do you think you can get ready before 8:00? this is 7:30pm.
"Ok I'll meet you outside in thirty minutes"
Jenna was excited to see the movie. She wore a red dress and a white sandals. They got there a bit early so they decided to get popcorn and drinks.
Jenna smiled as she perceived the smell of the popcorn, "oh how I wish sister Mena was here" she thought to herself. Sky loves popcorn especially the type with enough milk and butter. If only she could get one pack for her sist, but then Aidenn would suspect.
Jenna was lost in thought when she felt a hand grab her.
"Troy, hey wassup. It's been a while. I've been looking everywhere for you"
Fuck! Tobi is the last person she wants to see now.....she has to get out of here before he ruins everything. " I'm sorry but you've got the wrong person" She said as she tried to get out of the man's hard grip.
Aidenn smiled as he paid for the drinks, she was so excited to see the movie that she's been jumping up and down. She was cute. He look towards the popcorn stand and noticed a very rough man was holding Adrianna's arms. He saw the discomfort in her face and ran to meet her.
"Let go of her man, she said she doesn't know you" Aidenn said as he used his body to separate both of them.
" This matter doesn't concern you, so please excuse me Mister...I'm speaking to my woman" The dreadlock guy said with a frown.
They only slept together once and it was
because she was high, they never dated...he was just someone who showed her the bad side. He's one of her mistake.
"Troy you've caught a big fish now right? so I'm not important anymore. I'm not leaving here until you tell me why you stopped picking my calls."
