Jeslyn wanted to remove his hand, but she waited for a minute and thought. 'let's just use him since he came to my rescue'. Instead, she pulls him closer to him. "Yes let's get married".
For a moment there Nathan thought that she was serious, he felt happy for a while, then it came to his thoughts that it was all a game to her and his feelings meant nothing to her since he did not express himself and tell her about how he feels about her because he also wants to comfort it himself he doesn't want to make a fool out of himself.
Both of them walk out still in each other embrace.
"Why did you help me?". She folded her arms asking him seriously.
"Ummmmm let's just say that I want to, and also I did not like Mr vee and Camilla".
"Well, bye".
"Are you not going to say anything". He holds her hand and pulls her to himself as she tries to leave.
"I don't ask for your help, you did it on your own accord". She forcefully snatches her hand from his hold and leaves him standing alone.
He chuckled with a sly smile on his face.
"Mr McDonald's what should I do about her".
"Leave her for now". He stares at the dark and smiles again. 'I will see how stubborn you are, and I am not helping you again'.
He leaves with his assistant forgetting about the two that are still inside the restaurant.
Camilla is trying to make a conversation with Franklin but he is giving her a cold shoulder, but Camilla is not an easy woman, and she is not going to give up easily.
"Mr vee I have heard a lot from you, one of my colleagues just keeps praising you and your achievement, you are so nice". She said all kinds of lies she could come up with.
"That's nice to hear but I have to go now".
"No wait can I have your contact, so that I will be able to brag about it at work to my colleagues". She said with a bright smile on her face.
Franklin did not hesitate and brought out his business card handing it over to her and walking away.
Camilla holds his business card and kisses it, this is, her chance to make it in life, she has it all planned to be the first lady of her family giving orders, and spending money anyhow, she can't wait for it.
She went back to work bragging and telling everybody how she met with Franklin and how he asked her out.
"Franklin and I are going out now". She feeds one of her friends with lies.
"How come". The lady stood up shaking her head.
Camilla did not mind everything they were saying since she had it all planned out.
Weeks passed.
Jeslyn has gained more power from her side she buys all of the vee company sharing, making their share drop, she is now among the biggest shareholders in vee company, she is so happy about this achievement but it is still not enough to destroy the Vee family and Camilla.
"Madam here is an invitation to old McDonald's birthday". Holly gives her the invitation card.
Jeslyn already heard about McDonald's, they are wealthy, powerful, and large and to achieve her goal it is either she tries to get on their good side or not cross their parts.
"Is Mr Vee going to attend the party". She pauses and looks at the card very well.
"Yes, your friend Ava is also going to attend the party I hear that she is engaged with the second young master of McDonald's". She explained with a straight face.
"That's going to be fun". She said with a sly smile on her face.
...
McDonald's mansion.
The party started and everybody was trying all the means to impress the old McDonald's. But he is not that easy to impress, he will complain about a slight mistake and he hates the way everybody is faking care about him because they want to get on his good side except for his first grandson, who is not even here yet.
"That brat what is taking him so long". He smirked using his walking stick to hit the floor. He grins looking at the door waiting for his grandson.
"Grandpa". Ava called with a smile running to him, she embraced him.
Ava is an old McDonald's favorite, he likes her so much, he watches her grow up, and that is one of the reasons she wants him to Marry his eldest grandson, but he refuses.
Ava comes from a good family, she is a pretty, nice, and soft-hearted person and that is one of the reasons she gets cheated on easily. When he saw her nude pictures posted on the internet, he felt bad for her and promised to get her married to one of his grandsons, but that brat refused to do so, he had no other options than to let her marry his second grandson, although he might be a playboy, he hates been cheated so he hopes that he will stop all his act after getting engaged to Ava, but he did not, and Ava to is not ready to give up on him so they are still together.
"Oh my dear where are your parents". He patted her head with a smile on his face, everybody was surprised because he hardly smiled, they had been trying all means to make him happy, but this lady just came and hugged him and he was happy.
Ava holds his hand walking with him. "They will not be able to attend the party, something came up at the last minute".
"Oh, I see, how have you been?"
"Fine, how about you, I hope you are not been sneaky around and disturbing Mother". She said mother she was referring to her fiance's mother.
Old McDonald's laughed holding his chest. "Not at all".
She pouted and rested her head on his shoulder. with everybody's envy look Ava looks even more happy.
The door swung open, the room fell silent as all eyes turned to the figure that stood before them. Clad in a well-tailored suit and polished shoes that gleamed with a mirror-like finish, Nathan exuded confidence and style. His chiseled features, framed by thick, dark hair, drew gasps of admiration from the guests, who could not help but be captivated by his striking appearance. Even those who had met Nathan before were struck by the sheer magnetism of his presence, and it was clear that he was a man to be reckoned with.
Old McDonald's eyes rolled so hard, they nearly disappeared into his head. "Here he comes again with his grand entrance, as if he's the sun and we're all supposed to revolve around him." The old farmer muttered under his breath, the disdain for Nathan dripping from his words. "The man's ego is bigger than his wallet, and that's saying something." He grumbled to himself, shaking his head in disbelief.
Nathan did not mind his grandfather's words. He went ahead and greeted him."Happy birthday grandfather, here is a gift for you". He brought out his gift and handed it over to him.
Old McDonald's did not bother to look at it and handed it over to his assistant turning away from his grandson.
Nathan was not bothered about his grandfather's reaction, he went to have a chat with one of his friends.
Jeslyn arrived a bit late to the party, and they were about to cut the cake when she entered, nobody noticed her entry except for Nathan, their eye caught each other and she widened her eyes in shock what was he doing there standing let to old McDonald's is he ...
