â any news from our investors in Chinaâ he asked picking one of the file. â yes sir, I have scheduled a meeting one week from now, they will be flying down to Nigeria next weekâ he answered with a smile, âoh thatâs good you have done a great jobâ, this even made his smile grow wider, he always work hard to be appreciated by his boss Mr William, he opened a small file he has been holding since the arrival of Mr William and brought out a piece of paper. âsir an Email came in yesterday from Cloudworld technology worldwideâ, he said heading the file to Mr Williams who took it with a surprise look.
Mr William has heard so much about the company, he still remember it was once ran by Mr Donald but with another name, once Mr Donald passed away he headed it to his grandson who manged the company with his and called it Cloudworld, he has heard so much about the new holder from his cousin sister Vivian, who is married to the father of the holder, though he doesnât know the name, he always choose to call him Mr Donald, but to receive a letter from same company that helped him many years ago brought a feeling to him, he doesnât know if it a bad feeling or a good one.
â Mr Donald, the CEO of Cloudworld technology worldwide is seeking for a meeting with you, scheduled in two days time that will be thursdayâ Mr Edward said, Mr William gaze at him before shifting his eyes back on the paper in his hand, trying to process the reason for the meeting, âit stated there that it is important, but I havenât given an answer yetâ Mr Edward finished, â that will be okey if I donât have any plans for that dayâ Mr William wasnât going to let anxiety take the better part of him, he is going to accept the invitation whether it is good or bad, but he just hope it is not something he canât handle.

Mr William is seen sitting in Ethan office, he has been here for the past 10 minutes and yet Ethan hasnât showed his face, Mr William was already growing inpatient though Richard the personal assistant to Ethan, as he came to know has given him the reasons for Ethan delay, he isnât just satisfied because he knows as business men they always keep to their time, if that is how Ethan goes late to his appointment his company couldnât be one of the best in the world, so to him it was hard to believe what Richard told him.
He gleams at his wrist watch again Ethan was another minute late, he angrily stood up, â Edwardâ he spook to Edward who as been standing close to him in silent â yes sirâ, â letâs go it seems Mr Donald donât have anything important to discuss with meâ, Edward only nodded without saying anything, just as they were few meters away from the door, the door swing open as the face of Ethan came to view follow by Richard , he walked right straight to Mr William extending his hand for an handshake, there was no smile on his face well he doesnât even know when last he smiled. â you must be Mr William, I am Ethan Donaldâ, Mr William took his hand not smiling either, he was still upset about the delay. âfinallyâ, that was all he would say because he doesnât want to sound rude âpleaseâ Ethan gesture him to take a seat with his other free hand as they were still shaking hands, with this they disconnect the handshake as they took their seats, Ethan unbutton his suit so he would be comfortable while sitting down which he normally does, â you are late, late isnât a good meeting agendaâ, Mr William said not wanting to hold himself back, but he tried not to sound rude, he has used the opportunity while Ethan was sitting to absence him, he look really young for a CEO and a billionaire but with the great achievement he has he know he was good at what he does, â well you canât blame me, was tide up on somethingâ, well that was a lie on his part, he has been in his other office observing Mr William through the CCTV in the office they are , he just wanted to make him wait and to observe what kind of a man he is, Mr William was irritated by his answer, not even an apology, what he has heard about him were all true, with all his money he is an arrogant man.
â now letâs get to the reason why you are here, Richard â immediately Richard extended a file to Mr William who hesitated at first but later took it and went through it, Ethan watched as Mr William fling from page to page until he stopped immediately, this caused a smirk on his face because he knew Mr William has gotten to the good part.
Mr William look at Ethan who has quickly removed the smirk on his face, â you do understand what is in there donât youâ he asked Mr William with a serious tone, now it is time for business which is something he doesnât play with, â yes I do, it was the agreement I made with your grandfather when he loaned me some money 10 years agoâ âsome money, 45 billion dollars isnât some money, itâs a huge money removed from a companyâs account, you will agree with me right.
Mr William was silent, not knowing the next word to use, â soâ Ethan continue â I will love to asked why you havenât respected that agreement, I was told that you promised to pay monthly but there have been no record of that, so I asked why is thatâ he finished his sentence with one go, Mr William sign heavily, he knows what was about to go on but he wasnât going to show defeat, â well I understand were you are coming from, I know you wasnât there when the agreement was made but as the CEO now you have every right to question, truly it is a huge amount of money and am deeply sorry for the delay of payment â
â delay of paymentâ Ethan interrupted him â you call 10 years delay of payment, let me refeze that, you decided not to pay because of course, your cousin is married to my father, did I get it rightâ â I beg your pardonâ Mr William sound offended with the words of Ethan, how can he think such a thing, Richard and Edward gave themselves a gleam before focusing back on their bosses.
Mr William tried to clam himself down, he knows misunderstanding will make matter worst, he was the older one there, â I would have paid that money but my company is still passing through some crisis that hasnât been resolved, but I promise to pay back once itâs doneâ, Ethan was silent for some time, not really considering what he said but was just acting up so Mr William will think that way, ânoâ Mr William was shocked with his answer â you had ten good years of grace, grace donât last for ever, I want my money within one week, failure to do so, we will then see in court, Richard here will attend to youâ, Ethan said getting up, he doesnât want to push the matter too long even though he is having fun he has some other things to do, âhow do you expect me to come up with that huge amount of money within a weekâ he asked in disbelief, â Mr William, you will come up with it, same way my grandfather came up with it, I will hear from you in a week time, please do see yourself outâ with that he left the office leaving Mr William dumbfounded.
