Kendrick’s POV
I felt so frustrated after that night, she has been avoiding and won’t even spare a minute of her ti.
She returned to school and hasn’t called ever since and it is worriso as that bastard was also there with her.
I never ant to doubt her but from the way he looks at her, he definitely has feelings for her and it is not just a feeling that an ordinary friend should have but she clearly doesn’t know.
Knock knock!
"Co in"
"Hello sir, you have a eting in ten minutes. Everyone is waiting" my head secretary, Alicia, inford with a polite smile.
"Have you made a public announcent for applicants to co in for an interview? I need a PA as soon as possible" I asked and her smile froze, causing to frown.
"I have sir,... Umm but sir, I have been working here for more than six years and I was pretty close to Evans, I have worked side by side with him and I am certain that I can be your new PA" she said in one breath. The sweat on her forehead was dripping down her face.
It must have taken a lot of determination for her to muster up the courage to speak to .
"I will think about it. Rember to tell everyone that we are leaving by 2 PM, so they should be ready and buses would be provided to convey them to the venue" I instructed before grabbing my jacket and heading to the conference room for the eting.
"Hello, President Black"
"Hello, President Black"
"Hello, President Black"
As soon as I stepped into the conference room, everyone stood up to greet .
"Please sit down, let’s start, I only have half an hour to spare, so you have to be fast" I said to the team that was sent by one of my partner companies.
One of them quickly walked to the front and turned on the projector to show us his PowerPoint slides.
"This project was proposed by our able CEO a few months ago. He believed that it will change the face of business as we all know it.
Amusent parks are patronized every day and it won’t be hard to get the capital back in a year" I listened attentively to what he was saying and I kept frowning as he continued.
Amusent park?
That’s the earth shattering idea they have been talking about?
I observed the faces of so of my company’s managers that were also here, at the eting.
They all had a similar stunned expression on their faces and it was quite comical.
"If you invest in this project, it will be life changing for you and us because our children will have sothing to brag about.
Imagine your child going to a kindergarten and telling his classmates that his father owns an amusent park" when he noticed the expression on our faces, he tried to ease the atmosphere by cracking a joke but no one laughed.
"Mr...?" I asked with a raised brow.
"Clifford, sir" he responded quickly.
"Mr Clifford, you are introducing a project to and I must say that I am very surprised. Your boss had called and told that he had a proposal to make and I gave him a chance to show it to .
And here you are telling about building an amusent park, do you think I am here to joke with you?" I asked him angrily.
"No Sir, our Boss said he has been wanting to build the amusent park for a very long ti, in mory of his lost daughter" he tried to explain but I didn’t have the ti to continue listening to his rubbish.
"You can leave now, as you all know today is a very important day" I said before getting up from my seat.
The others followed suit and we walked out of the conference room.
Ring Ring!
My phone started vibrating in my pocket and I took it out to check. I was shocked to see Christy’s na flashing on the screen.
"Hello" I said after picking up the call.
"Why are you not here yet? Guests are already coming and we have a slight problem as well" she said with a slightly upset tone and I frowned.
"What happened?" I asked. I entered my office and grabbed my car keys to go et her at the venue.
"Evan’s parents are here, they are making a scene here, demanding that we compensate them for his life or else they would not allow his body to be buried" she said angrily and I could also hear so voices in the background.
"Give a few minutes, I will be there" I said to her before hanging up.
I wondered how his parents found out about the funeral arrangents.
On walking out of the company, I saw a long eighty seater bus parked a few distance from my car and Alicia was busy talking to the driver.
"Boss, is the eting over?" she asked with a shocked expression.
"Make sure you are at the venue in an hour" I ignored her question and gave her an instruction instead before getting into my car.
I drove really fast like I have been doing anyti I get riled up or upset, the speed helps to organize my thoughts.
On arriving at the venue, I saw Christy and the others standing at the entrance with tensed expressions.
"Oh, you are finally here" A familiar voice said excitedly and I turned to see Evans mother staring at with a greedy expression.
"Hello ma’am" I greeted her out of respect for Evans but she didn’t respond.
"Last ti you ca to our house to tell us about Evan’s death and I told you that his properties and money should be given to as a compensation for bringing him into this world!" she said shalessly.
When her husband heard what she said, he stumbled over, he looked drunk as usual.
"I want his money! I am his father and have the right to get his money, I have debts to pay!" The man yelled angrily and I glared at them before gesturing to the guards nearby.
"Take them out of here" I instructed and I also noticed that so of the guests were watching the scene.
"What, there is no way we are leaving! We want compensation, it is our right!" the woman shrieked loudly and before she could say any other thing, a guard gave her a hand chop on the neck and she passed out. The man tried to stagger away but he t the sa fate.
"Take them to the riverside villa and watch them until I return" I instructed and the guards imdiately carried them away.
I walked up to Christy and the others, we all went into the hall to pay our last respect to Evans.
