Even though her plans had been ruined because of Nicholas's indifferent attitude, there was nothing she could do except take it slow and not force Nicholas against his will for it would only drive them apart further."What about if we also join you guys at the dinner?" Mac said as he entered Alex's office followed by Simon and Ethan.Nicholas looked at them one by one and had a feeling that they all have gathered tonight to learn about his experience with his ' special day.' In that case, it would not be that difficult to tolerate Olivia in their presence whom he had begun to find more annoying than before after she showed up at Alex's office even after being refused by him specifically.However, what happened next was beyond his expectations as Olivia said with a light smile on her face," I had planned to dine with Nicholas at 'The Heavens' and I had reserved the seats in advance as well. But after seeing Nicholas in a bad mood, I don't think it's a good idea to force him to come wit
At 10 PMAfter Nicholas and his friends came out of the city club in a drunkard state, Nicholas suddenly received a call on his phone. As he took out his phone from his pocket, he saw 'Mom' flashing on the screen.He went to the side and picked up the phone and spoke," Yes Mom?" Even though he was not as drunk as his friends, his voice slurred a little and on the other side, George frowned after he heard Nicholas's voice from the speaker.After waiting for a long time, he had asked Shelley to call Nicholas to know when he would be arriving home. Shelley shuddered as she noticed how displeased George looked, she swallowed her saliva and asked Nicholas trying her best to not stutter," It's so late. Why are you not home yet?"Nicholas knew it must be his father who had urged Shelley to make the phone call because her mother didn't like to intervene with others unnecessarily." After I was done with my work, Alex and I decided to celebrate our business collaboration with our other friends.
Nicholas didn't know if he was overthinking or if the Jenny he was talking about was his sister or someone else. There was no way he could confirm his suspicion at that moment given that Alex was not in the right state of mind. He could only wait for him to be sober before he discuss this matter with him.He led Alex inside the house after the butler opened the doors, and walked toward Alex's room with the help of the butler. After they tucked Alex into the bed, the butler took off Alex's shoes and covered him with a quilt. Then he turned to Nicholas and said with a smile on his face" You are finally back young master Price. I am so glad to see you again after so many years.Nicholas grinned ear to ear since he always had a good impression of James, the butler who was in his mid-fifties. Even before he left, he used to visit this villa now and then and James always took good care of him along with Alex.So he also felt happy to meet him as he said," Yes, It had been two days since I r
George picked up the documents and began to read the contents of them. His eyes widened in disbelief as he asked in a shaky voice," Is this real?""Yes. Now, if you don't mind, may I continue with my breakfast." Nicholas said and even not being responded to by George, he started eating the sandwich that he had placed on the plate earlier.He didn't plan to anyone know about this contract earlier because he wanted to prove his charisma to everyone once the project was accomplished and the outcome will be known to everyone only when it was covered by all news media." 500 million dollars! I still can't believe that you are planning to develop something that would be worth such a huge amount. Is this some kind of joke? Or you have forged a contract for fooling around with your friends without being interpreted by your family? Since you have mastered computer science, so creating a fake contract is a very small thing you can do with your knowledge.Everyone present there gasped in astonis
Without waiting for her reply, Nicholas left in the same way he had come here just 3 days ago. Jenny was taken aback by this sudden proposal as she was also in a state of shock because of the decision Nicholas had made. She didn't know how to react for a second. But then she thought of trying to convince him to change his decision and quickly followed him after she picked up her bag from the couch. Nicholas was already inside the car ready to start the car when Jenny reached outside and opened the door of the passenger seat. After she got in and tied her seat belt, Nicholas immediately drove away from the car. He was not slightly bothered by what happened in the Price Mansion just a few minutes ago, because he already had planned to stay away from Price's family afraid of being suspected by anyone. However, he didn't expect that he might not need to put much effort in front of his family members. Unintentionally, his father paved the way for his plan in the most suitable way.Howev
George smiled in satisfaction as soon as he finished speaking for he believed that he had finally found a way to redeem himself of the guilt that he felt earlier."And what about Mr. James who has been currently working as the vice-president of the company?" Andrew asked George as he wondered if it was the right time to make Nicholas vice-president or not. The position belonged to Nicholas always and they appointed James as a replacement temporarily."Coincidently, the CEO in our Toronto Branch office will be getting retired next month. So we'll transfer James to the Toronto office and he might not have any objection to this because along with the transfer he is getting promoted as well." George explained with a relieved expression on his face.The other family members were shocked once again. Gina and Shelley were so happy that they shed tears again and looked at George as if silently approving his decision.Andrew and Amyra exchanged glances with each other still unable to believe w
After Eliza disconnected the phone, she began to type on her laptop, however, she couldn't process the words on the screen, no matter how she tried.She shut it off in the end feeling frustrated. The scene when Nick embraced her when she bumped into him accidentally, kept playing in her mind. She couldn't understand how he managed to bewitch her in just one day. Moreover, now she had an urge to remove his mask and see what he looked like. She knew it was not appropriate to do so for he might have his reasons to put on the mask all the time. But she just wanted to have a look.Helplessly, she picked up her phone again and called Nick as she said," Mr. Brown, come to my office. I need to discuss some details regarding this project."She waited for him to speak and finally, he said," Sure Ma'am."Eliza hung up the phone and looked at the blank screen in front of her. She waited for Nick to come as she swayed her chair slightly. After a minute or so, there was a knock on the door. " Come
"Please have a seat, Miss bell," Eliza said to Olivia after she sat on her seat. Olivia sat in front of Eliza and it took everything in her to not look at Nicholas because she didn't want him to know that she had recognized him. She was quite astounded to see how the young master of the price family was ordered around by an insignificant woman. Except for her looks, she didn't think Eliza was qualified even to stand beside Nicholas. How on the earth did she manage to bewitch a stone-hearted man to the extent that he was willing to stoop to the level of an assistant?Earlier, she had planned to reveal Nicholas's 'current job' in front of the Price family and called Amyra, but before she spilled out the beans, Amyra beat it to her and told her about Nicholas's $500 million deal with Alex Lee and how he left Price Mansions this morning after he had a dispute with his father. She was so shocked that she couldn't believe her ears. It has been less than a week since Nicholas returned to New
