Nate's POV

My day began messy after what transpired between I and Isabella.

I was cranky all day.

My day was also very busy and work-filled.

After leaving the house this morning, I received a call from Mike and he said he has been trying to reach me for some time now.

He said he got my voicemail which said to call the number as soon as he got it.

I apologise for going MIA. I told him I had some other work to do outside of town so that's why I wasn't available.

He then told me to set a meeting for us to meet because wanted to know who I was and what business I had in mind for him which I spoke about in the voicemail.

I asked him if today was a good day which he said yes to, so I told him as soon as I got to the office I'd send a time for our meeting for him.

He already said he didn't have a lot to do today so I pretty much guessed that his schedule for today was light, which means that he will be able to meet up with my timing.

I was still at home when I received the call from Mike. I then had to hasten up, so I left the house and headed for the office.

On my way to the office, I encountered a long ass traffic which already heightened my anger which I left home with.

I can't seem to put a hand on what got me so mad, of course, apart from Isabella.

But that scared me even more because I was wondering why she'd have this much anger in me just because she said she wasn't interested in me.

Why this anger?

Eventually, I got to the office after being stuck in traffic for over an hour, making my twenty-minute journey to work close to two hours. That was frustrating.

Just as I arrived at my workplace, I went straight to my office using my private elevator.

My office space was on the top floor of the building and it was only I and my secretary occupied the office there.

I saw my secretary on her seat as I walked passed her, I wasn't in the mood for exchanging pleasantries.

But that didn't mean she didn't greet me. My secretary, Jane stood up as she saw me come in, she greeted me with all enthusiasm but my reply to her had no life in it.

I went to my office, sat in my chair and had a short silence in my head, I wanted to calm down and think things through, probably I have a better way to sort out this issue with Isabella.

Still, in my thinking note, I heard a knock on my door, I asked who it was even though I knew it could only be Jane there.

She answered me, I told her to come in and she did.

As Jane entered I could see her with some documents in her hand and her book which she notes my schedule in.

When she got in front of my table, I told her to sit, and when she was seated, I asked her what the issue was.

Then she began,

Sir, you have a lot of pending meetings, also the client who owns the building which was demolished tried reaching you.

He said, he wants to hear from you, he wants an explanation on what happened to the building and how it can be fixed. He also said all damages incurred will be on our company.

He told me to let you know when you arrive back to reach out to him or you should tell me a time for which you will meet with me so I can send it to his secretary.

I was just there looking at her and not having words.

My day is a mess, I thought.

Even without any reply coming from me she carried on with what she was saying, 

She said that there were about six pending meetings to be done and there were three more slates for next week, then two site inspections.

I eventually spoke to her, I said,

Jane, Why is there so much work to do?

I don't know how to go about all this work, is there a way we can split the meeting for like three days because I have another pending meeting which I was going to call to tell you to squeeze into my schedule today, but now you already have a tight schedule for me.

Then she answered, sir, I haven't put timings on the meetings. I wanted to ask you before I did that.

It's only after we analyse them according to how urgent they are that is when we can set a time for them.

After we've set their time, I will then reach out to their secretaries and forward the meeting time to them.

When Jane said all this, I felt a bit relieved.

I wasn't even in the right frame of mind to work much more than attend a thousand and one meeting in one day.

I might as well just disappear and never return.

I gave a subtle energy and a cooler side of me to my legal business. I only go dirty when the business is being attacked by the gangs of other clans.

Since Jane was able to handle my schedule appropriately, I told her to check across all the meetings and places for today with the meeting I also want to have with Mike.

Then, she should handle the others for tomorrow and next or till like this weekend for site inspection according to their priority.

She told me she was going to do just that but before she left my office, she talked about the documents she entered with.

Sir, apart from the meetings, some documents need your signature before we make copies for our clients.

I then told her to go work on my schedule and mail me a copy while I bury myself in the documents give them a check then put in my signature.

Then she left, leaving the documents behind.

I took a deep breath as I realised that today was going to be a long day for me.
