"How dare him call what I was going to prepare for him Jargons, he's lucky we're in the office and not at home, I'd have made him regretted what he say" Skye mumbled to herself, putting together the files they used in meeting and arranging them into her cabinet.
She sat down and was looking furious when her phone started ringing.
"Yes" She answered after looking at the displayed name on her phone screen.
"Did you just answer me with "Yes", didn't you look at who called before you answered" Jason asked her.
"I did, I wasn't just in the mood to start hyping you" Skye replied.
"Don't tell me you're angry because of what I said" Jason asked perplexed.
"Of course I am, how can you call what I was going to prepare for you Jargons" Skye shouted on the phone.
"Oh, that's loud" He said removing the phone from his ear then replaced it after a while.
"Okay, I'll be going home soon, so go get the car ready. That's why I called you" He said then hung up the call.
"He called to tell me that!, He can't even say he's sorry for what he said. Humph" She scoffed.
She stood up to go get her car from the parking lot and parked it at the entrance of the main building. She went back to her office to get her bag and while on her way out, she met Jason who was also ready to go home and they both went out of the building.
They got into the car and Skye drove them home. The drive was very quiet. Jason wasn't going to say anything as always but Skye who'll always have something to say was still angry at him.
They got home thirty minutes later and Jason went inside leaving Skye outside to find the perfect spot to park her car.
On getting inside, Mr. Lewis was the first person Jason saw and after greeting his father, he was asked to sit with him as they were going to have a discussion.
"Did you watch the news this afternoon" Mr. Lewis asked Jason.
"No I didn't, I was in a meeting during the time of the news" Jason replied.
"Okay then, I thought you'd have heard that Adams group of companies went bankrupt" Mr. Lewis said.
On hearing this, Skye who was about to enter the sitting room was confused about which Adams group was going bankrupt. She knew her father's was Adams group but there was another group which was Shine Adams group but was mostly referred to as Adams group, so she was wondering which one is it out of the two. Skye had severed ties with her father who made her lost her boyfriend, she believed if he hadn't separated them, he won't have forgotten her after the accident he had. so she hated him for it. But as her father, she couldn't help but think that if her father's companies go down then she'll have to go back to him because she knows what he'll be going through.
"Oh, I haven't heard about it, which of the Adams group" Jason asked his father.
"The just Adams group" Mr. Lewis replied since that was what they use in differentiating the two group of companies.
Skye lost her balance and fell to the group upon hearing this and her eyes started welling up in tears.
"And I have some shares in the group, that's why I want to ask for your opinion. Should I withdraw my shares or buy the company" He asked Jason.
"Your shares, how many percent us that" Jason asked back.
"I have five percent under my name, and two percent under three borrowed names, if I add them together, that will be eleven percent making me the highest shareholder" Mr. Lewis explained.
"May I ask how much the company is owing" Jason asked again.
"Five hundred million dollars" Mr. Lewis replied.
"Wow, that's quite some money, if you have that much and much more to spare, I suggest that you buy it before the other shareholders starts withdrawing their shares" Jason said.
"That's a wise one, My son is definitely a businessman" Mr. Lewis said.
"I took after you dad" Jason replied.
"Now that I think of it, five hundred million dollars is same amount Lucian Adams bought us with, and I'll use lot more to buy is back" He said and stood up to go to his room.
Jason didn't understand his father's last two statements and was wondering what he could mean by bought us and buy us back. He noticed Skye hasn't entered yet and thought maybe she went home then went to his room.
Skye became thoughtless and didn't know what to do after all she had heard, she couldn't help but think why her father was so gross.
"Dad made Jason stay away from me with five hundred million" She thought to herself.
She became furious at her father and stood up to go to his house. She quickly got into her car and drove off to her father's house.
"I'm sorry Mr. Adams, I'm afraid the marriage between Matthew and Skye won't take place" Matthew's personal Adviser George said to Mr. Adams.
"W... what, W....why is that, but the wedding is just two weeks away, why is it going to be cancelled" Mr. Adams asked.
"We heard the news about your group going bankrupt, this won't be good for us if your daughter marry into the Jones family" George explained.
"You can't cancel the wedding now, it's two weeks away. I'll get my companies back before then, can you please not do this to my daughter" Mr. Adams begged.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. It was the decision made by the family members not me" He said then started walking out. He met Skye who had been standing by the door and listening to their conversation and bowed to her before walking out.
Skye barged into the room and faced her father, ready to yell at him.
"Congratulations dad, in going bankrupt and congratulations in advance because you'll be losing your company soon" Skye said to her father who's eyes are now as red as fire and looked as if they were ready to pop out.
"What do you mean" He asked her looking confused.
"I just found out someone was going to buy your company, do you know who" She said then removed a business card from her wallet and gave it to her father.
"PowerShares" He read out what was on the card and looked down at a corner where something was scribbled and found the company owner's name "Xavier Lewis" He said.
"You're right, and do you know who this person son is" Skye asked removing another business card from her wallet and handed it to her father.
"President of Tesla manufacturing company Monterrey branch, Jason Lewis" He read again.
"You read right dad, "what do you think son, should I withdraw my shares or buy the company". "how much is the company owing". "Five hundred million". "Wow, that's quite some money, if you have that much and much more to spare you can buy it". "Wow, my son is a businessman" "I took after you dad" "Now that I think of it, Lucian Adams bought us with Five hundred million but I'll buy us back with lots more" Skye said and her father was looking at her wondering what she was saying.
"This was the conversation they had" She told him.
"How did you hear this and what do they mean about buying them and buying themselves back" He asked.
"I know you won't remember, Jason was my boyfriend who you sent away and Xavier is his father who'll be buying your company" Skye told her father.
"What, How's that possible" He asked.
"You brought them to riches dad, you unknowingly helped them, you think you're pushing them away but you were helping them, do you know how rich they are now dad, wanna know how their house look like, just their staircase is made of gold, pure gold dad. Now think of how rich they'll be" Skye yelled at her father.
"Do you now know you could have gotten yourself a rich in-law, but that won't happen because Jason doesn't remember me, I'm just an assistant to him now" She continued.
"Is all this true Skye" Mr Adams asked grabbing Skye's shoulders.
"Yes, why would I joke with you when you're about to Loss your company, this people are more wealthier than Matthew's family" She replied.
"What do you think I should do Skye, please help me. I don't know what to do again" Mr Adams said.
"Why don't you go beg them, because right now, the only people who can save you are them" She said and started walking away.
"Take me with you, I'll go beg them" He said following his daughter, he quickly grabbed her hand and went outside the house. They got into the car and Skye drove them to Jason's house.
