Chapter 48
Sammy walked into Oliver`s office, the CEO was putting on a sad face and his best friend did not need to ask why.
“Hey,” he muttered and took a seat on the other side of the table.
Oliver sighed without moving from the position, he had his eyes glued on the monitor screen but his attention was not there.
“Have you spoken to her since then?” Sammy queried.
“No man, I think I should give her some time, she is really upset,” he replied.
Sammy wrinkled his eyebrows, “Some time? It has been two days already man, you got to talk to her,” he advised.
“Alright, I will do that tomorrow,” he said sadly.
“So how is your grandfather?”
“The old man is better now, he got what he wanted so he is fine. Although he had threatened to quit his medication if I don’t go
ahead and marry Nora, I don’t know why he is doing this to me,” Oliver grumbled.
“It is fine, I am sure that love will conquer in the end. Anyway, I came here to report an issue to you, I don’t know if the complaint
has already reached you,” Sammy said.
Oliver didn’t look too worried, there was no issue bigger than the one he was facing right now.
“What is it Sam? I told you to take care of things here at the office. I might be present here but I am not in a good state of mind
now.”
“I know that Oliver, but this needs your attention.... It is about one of our company’s major accounts. I tried to move funds from
Sammy had expected Oliver to get upset or worried about the information since that was the company’s main account used for
business transactions, but the CEO remained silent.
“Yes Sam, I had forgotten to inform you, we no longer have access to that very account because it was part of the things I willed
to Aria and our child,” Oliver announced.
“Wait, what?” Sammy queried.
“Yes, the papers I made her sign were not just divorce papers, I transferred seventy percent of my assets to her name and that
company account happens to be one of those things, as it stands right now, apart from my personal account, I only own the
estate, the cars and fifty percent shares of this company.” He explained
Sammy was surprised; he had not expected Oliver to take such a huge step.
“But why? I know that the constitution doesn’t require you to give her that much, and Aria would never request for any of that, so
why did you do it?” he queried.
“Hmm... it is actually simple, first I married Nora in order to fulfill the promise my grandfather made. Now the promise does not
state that I would have to remain married to her forever, he only said that I have to get married to her so whatever happens after
that doesn’t matter..
Now, I know for a fact that Nora has a mission in that house, she is only there for the money and if she discovers that there is no
more money, then she would ask for a divorce.
So when I get divorced from her, I will bring my wife and daughter back, get married to Aria again and have my properties back
or even let her keep them forever. After all, what belongs to her belongs to me as well.” Oliver announced with a small smile.
“Oh, no... I have not told her yet.”
“What? You have not told her that she has assets worth a billion dollars willed to her name? dude, you should do that before it is
late, you don’t know what could happen tomorrow that might lead to misunderstandings,” Sammy advised.
“You are right, I will tell her tomorrow when I go to check on her and the baby.”
“Alright... so, how do I make the payments for the goods since we don’t have access to the main account?” he asked.
“Oh, from the second account, we would just have to manage for now, we don’t need all that money to keep this company
running. You can also see it as an opportunity to rebuild from scratch.” Oliver chuckled.
“Okay boss, I trust whatever you say,” Sammy replied and smiled, then he stood up. “I am sure things would be fine again
between you two, just try not to mess things up in the short period of time you would be married to Nora.”
Sammy turned around to leave but Oliver stopped him. “Wait, what do you mean by that?” he queried.
Sammy chuckled. “Well, we both know your days as a playboy, you can’t resist any beauty in skirts. Nora is a beautiful woman
but don’t let her lure you to do something wrong or your chances of getting back with Aria might drop to a zero.”
Oliver scoffed and relaxed his back on the chair. “You must be kidding if you think I would touch Nora or any other woman while
my Aria still lives, even if she was dead, I would not even look in the direction of another woman, let alone take her to my bed,
and apart from that, did you forget that I am not into Asian women?” he mumbled.
“Well, that was just a reminder,” he said and chuckled. “I will leave you now Boss.”
He opened the door and walked off smiling. Oliver shook his head and groaned. He began to remember his happy moments with
Aria and he smiled. She was not the last woman he had sex with because he had been intimate with other women after the
incident with her at the club, but she was the only one in his mind and she would be the next and last. Perhaps he should have
tried getting intimate with her during her pregnancy period.
But sex was the least of his problems right now, he just wanted to get rid of this Nora girl real quick and have the love of his life
back, his honey bunny and the mother of his baby girl.
