Chapter 4

"Master the old lady is coming over tonight…."

"I didn't make arrangements for that" the cold chill voice rang out, sebastian stood for a second transfixed.

The tall young man walked gracefully to the Black maybach already waiting for him.

"Have the maids prepare her favorite dish and serve her when she arrives." With that he slammed the door and zoomed off.

Sebastian disappeared later into the mansion after giving the maids the order.

In the car the AC was blowing cold , while the driver and Assistant were sweating hot, they looked at each other,then at the man behind and then forward.

"Is there any problem Bill?" Alex asked, his head bent downward and his eyes focused on the pc on his lap.

"Yes sir …uhmmmm"Bill swallowed the lump on his throat and continues but was cut off by Alex

"Mmmmmmh?"

"Sir, The company we signed a contract with 2 weeks ago are not delivering service per agreement . . .and the Ceo was nowhere to be found. . .I tracked him and found him in a remote area near the mountains."

Bill tightly grasped at his laptop waiting to hear an outburst but His boss remained calm

Alex looked up, his eagle eyes sweeping across the car and back on his laptop.

"Cut off all financial support , Request a refund, with 70 percent conciliation fund ..send the cops over to the company and contact my attorney."

"Okay sir."

Bill immediately went to work stopped in the process after reading something

"Sir_"

"Yes, Any problem?"

"Your parents have an appointment with you by 9…"

"They're not my parents Bill" Alex's face looked crumpled as the frown on his face tightened, causing the temperature in the car to decrease .

The driver, who was once calm became fidgety immediately he saw the look on his boss's face through the mirror.

"Okay sir. . . yes sir . . . They've scheduled a meeting by 9 ,sir_"

"Postpone every family related meeting to tomorrow afternoon except for Nana's dinner."

"Yes sir."

Bill turned back to his laptop .

Meanwhile in the old house, an old man in his 50s was pacing up and down the living room restlessly. 

His shoes that where we'll polished,made a clicking sound when they brushed against each other

An old lady wearing makeup sat on the cushion by the window. She seemed to enjoy watching the beautiful scenery in front of her , sipped hot coffee and exhaled deeply.

"Can you sit down? , James."

"No mother. . . I'm restless, I'm filled with boiling rage from the pit of hell." He said and clasped his hands behind him.

"That young man has the right to do what he did. . . He runs the company,he has already scheduled his appointment for today"

"But I'm his father!"

"Father indeed." The old lady took another sip of coffee and asked

"You are his father, are you?. . . Where were you when he needed you the most, on a cruise ship with your silly wife and idiot kids!" 

"They are not silly and stupid, mother," James whispered sparingly.

The angry old lady slammed the tea cup on the table and stood

"Where's your son?"

"Off with friends _" James' face lit up with a smile as the old lady inquired about his family.

"Your daughter?" The old lady asked throwing him a weird look then picked up a magazine

"Today is her shopping day , I think she's off to the mall." He answered by adjusting his suit.

""Your wife?" The old Lady's asked with disgust

"She went to the spa _" James lifted his shoulders, head high with a very curvy smile

"Shame on you James!" The old lady walked towards him in anger.

"Why ? What's wrong?" James asked ,the smile on his face disappearing instantly

"You are here complaining about him not granting you access to 10 billion dollars" 

The old lady rolled the magazine in her hand into a cylinder shaped object in anger.

"That young man is out there working his work out making money and you sit your ass down comfortably to embezzle it. Your kid's do nothing to help this family yet they club and go shopping every day . . . That young man doesn't have a life outside work just working and working_"

"That's what he chose to do"

 James cut her off nonchalantly before she could finish her sentence.

"You are so shameless!"she said and began hitting him with the magazine.

"_"

James almost crashed on the wall when he had a few steps back as the blows landed carelessly on him.

The old lady stopped hitting him and ordered

" Get out of my sight !" 

She shouted with all the might , that she had to gasp for breath while James fled the scene .

The maids around gathered to aid her seat carefully on the couch.

"Get me water. . . Cough ! gasp !cough !"

 She said amidst coughs and gasps for breath. The maids rushed to get the water .

"Thanks." She gulped down the glass of water , handed the glass to the maid behind her as she headed for her room.

"Get the butler for me!" She ordered the maid coming from the hall mid way up the stairs.

"Yes my lady" the maid rushed down the stairs to the basement where the butler was and informed him .

"My lady, you sent it to me."

"Yes, when is the dinner scheduled?"

She turned from the window facing the old butler directly.

"9 pm . . ."

"I need to be there before 9pm. Let's make it 30 minutes earlier. . . Don't tell him yet."

"Okay ma'am."

"Anything else my lady?"

"The research I asked you to make, you haven't given me feedback."

"Sorry ma'am."

"So?"

"Young master hasn't had Any woman in his life lately ,since the last lady. . ."

"And he doesn't have a life outside his work,does he ?"

"No ma'am."

"Any friends?"

"Yes ma'am"

"Who?"

"The two young masters that own the entertainment company , master Leo and master Gregg."

" They are all workaholics. . . I know these friends i mean new friends not childhood friends"

 The old lady said with disappointment in her voice

"There are no new friends,my lady."

"It's okay Walker, you can go."

She dismissed the butler and sat down on her bed in deep worry for her grandson
