" Is this all you can find" Charles asked as he went through the files Cain gave him
" Yes sir, according to the files, Gustavo recently came into the country and is currently attending, Winter college. The things that are strange are the fact he is living in was already bought in his name and the close relationship he has with Theodore Martin. Furthermore, the fact that he seems to have a high position in the company MF that was on the verge of bankruptcy." Cain summarized the report
Charles dropped the files and glanced round the office room in thought, it was a typical CEO office setting design. The one difference was the fact that there it was a board with pictures of the different family heads pasted on it.
" I don't understand why was a person of his caliber so bold enough to challenge me" Charles asked, he might be angry, but he remained calm in order not to disrupt his reasoning
*Ringgggggggg!*
"Hello" Charles called as he picked up his phone
" Charles my boy, how are you doing" the voice asked
" Grand… father" Charles also stuttered with shock, it was very strange for his grandfather to call him
" Come over to the countryside Golf club, let chat" Reginald said
" Yes on my way" Charles replied
" Good see you in an hour" Reginald cut the call without waiting for a reply
" Sir is everything alright" Cain asked seeing Charles pale face
" It's grandfather, he wants me over at the country club in an hour" Charles replied getting up
"Sir…"
" It's alright Cain, he said he just wants to chat, let's go" Charles said getting up
"Of course" Cain followed him out of the office towards the parking space
The drive to the country club was quiet, Cain used the rear mirror a couple of times to check on Cain, but his position never changed he just leaned on the door. The relationship between Charles and Reginald was very strange, though he tried to hide it, Cain knew Charles was afraid of his grandfather. Despite that Charles always tried to prove himself to Reginald and impress him, to the outside our Charles was his grandfather favorite, however Cain knew there was more to it.
When they were younger, he didn't know the interactions the two usually had but whenever they were done, Charles would always remain silent with a dejected look, there was one time Charles left with some injuries on his head, though he attempted to hide it, Cain still spotted it. Charles managed to hide his true feelings to everyone, he was depicted as a gentle, lovely yet decisive person, however Cain knew he was quite a vengeful person with a heart of stone. The only person he couldn't face properly to date was his grandfather.
Cain drove into the parking space in the Club house and stopped the car. For a minute, no one got out from the car as the just stared at nothing exactly
" It's going to alright sir" Cain encouraged his master,
Though his grandfather wasn't the head of the family any more he knew that Reginald still carried more influence even more than most family heads the only one that can be on par with him should be that of the Richard family head
"I know" Charles replied and got off from the car
He walked towards the golf course and met his grandfather sitting in the shed with Alex sitting opposite him with some files in his arms
He got closer with his gaze on his grandfather dressed in golf clothes
" Grandfather it's been well" making eye contact with him
" Charles my boy you made it" Reginald waved his arm excitedly for him to come closer
" Sir Axel is nice to meet you again" However Axel didn't reply but gave a simple nod
" I see you came with Cain, how are you doing" Reginald said on seeing Cain
" I am doing fine Sir" Cain replied bowing in attempt to avoid eye contact
Reginald gave a sly smile when he saw that and faced Charles, Cain raised his head and made eye contact with Axel, he gave a bow to Axel earning him a nod from him
" My boy follow me to the golf course will you" Reginald requested
"Of course" Charles replied picking up a golf club and followed Reginald who had begun walking to a course
Cain was about to follow before a glare from Alex stopped him
Reginald took a golf ball from his pocket and placed it gentle on the course and made his shot
" So how have you been doing, it must have been tiring being one of those hosting the gathering" Reginald asked looking up
" It was too stressful grandfather" Charles made his own shot on Reginald signal
" What do you think of the lad that refused the drug, say I think he said his name was Gustavo" Reginald asked making another move
" He is quite bold to reject an offer from a blood at his age" Charles said making another move
" I was opportune to have a chat with him before the incident" Charles made another shot scoring a whole in one
" Grandfather spoke with him?" Charles slowly asked
" I scored ha won't you make your final move" Reginald asked instead
" Yes of course" Charles replied and made a move also scoring a whole in one
" You have gotten good, yes I did talk with him" Reginald replied getting back to the topic
Seeing Charles wasn't going to say anything, Reginald gave out a small a sigh
" I must say I was quite impressed, his calm disposition and all I remember at his age you were a mess when we talked" Reginald said
" I see he must have potential then": Charles tightly gripped the club as he spoke, but his action didn't go unnoticed by Reginald
" Walk with me boy" Reginald requested as he started walking down the course
" He is quite similar to a certain lad, we once had"Reginald continued
" It's quite a shame he is gone" Charles replied steadily
" Boy, whose idea was it to go after the boy I set free" Reginald suddenly asked
"Grandfather" Charles called as his breathing hiked up
" Don't grandfather me, the business was between the family head of the Fisher and me, now he is dead the business was off, so I let him go whose idea was it to send guys after him and Max" Reginald asked in an icy tone
" It was Father's, but it was for the benefit of the families" Charles hurriedly defended
" Ohh shut your mouth, your greed knows no bounds, I set him free yet you guys went behind my back to capture him back for what some family stupid benefit, and how did it go? Reginald asked
"Bad" Charles honestly replied
" Good, now Max is dead, and an untraceable vengeful lad is out there plotting your end, how does that make you feel" Reginald asked
" Like a loser" Charles replied
" My grandson a loser ha, this is the problem with you once put under pressure you sink. You are a blood, no matter what, you must keep your status even in pressure, why can't you understand that" Reginald asked
"Am sorry" Charles replied in a chocked voice
" You're sorry, no am I apologize for having a sorry excuse for a grandson who can't clean up his mess, your father is a worthless shithead that's while I hoped you be better. Do you know why I put your position higher than others? It's because among all those greedy mouths you were one of the few ones who would actually keep the prestige of the family, but at this rate am not so sure anymore" Reginald spat out at once
" I was wrong" Charles replied with his eyes on the ground
" DON'T YOU DARE KEEP YOUR EYES IN THE GROUND WHEN I AM SPEAKING TO YOU BOY!" Reginald yelled at him
Charles started trembling as he looked up at Reginald's raging eyes
" Boy I am doing this for you" Reginald suddenly calmed down when he saw him trembling
"I know" Charles replied
" Great, so concerning Gustavo, I don't want you or the family around him" Reginald spoke with a strange smile
" Sir…"
" From our conversation he is quite interesting I want to see how far he would go" Reginald cut off Charles
" But…"
Before he could finish, Reginald smacked him on the side of the head with the club in his hand with force, causing Charles to lose balance and fall
" My words are final, this won't be like the lad's case. If I find out you are researching on him again you would regret it" Reginald threatened and walked away
Charles stood up with blood streaming down his head, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned up his head, though the blood was still streaming, he popped out a pill of Z and popped it into his mouth with water he swallowed it whole and followed Reginald back to where Axel and Cain was
Cain on seeing his master rushed towards him, while Reginald calmly took his seat
" I have another guest, so we would see each other later" Reginald waved off Charles
Charles bowed and walked out towards the parking space, Cain purposely kept mutes he understood Charles wanted silence
Just as he was about to enter the car, another car crazily drove in, with Gustavo coming out of it, Gustavo barely gave him a look and left the place. Charles gripped the door handle tightly with his rage towards Gustavo burning greater than ever!
