Desmond’s Pov
The current news of Rex’s engagement, Senator Bernard’s son was still on the air.
I never believed that my son will still end up in celibacy while his friend Rex has already gotten engaged.
I wasn’t definitely happy with my son’s attitude of only choosing to get married to Maria.
A lady who is not even respecting him, she even subjected him to a state of making him to be her chef.
Yet, she doesn’t acknowledge the fact that Elvis my son is really in love with her.
Even with the level of hard work he is working for her, she never for once appreciated it.
After considering this thought, my spirit was troubled and I was prone to call him. I did immediately and he picked up at once.
“Hello son”, I said.
“Hello dad”, he responded cheerfully.
“I wanna talk to you now. Can you please come over to the house?”, I demanded.
“Oops! Dad please you can go ahead and say whatever you wanna say to me. I’m all ears”, he replied.
I sighed, seems like he already knew what I was about to to tell him. Anyways, I went ahead just as he had demanded.
“Elvis when will you raise your own family? Your friend Rex, has just been engaged and will be getting married soon. But just look at you, after several months of intending to get into a relationship with Maria you haven’t even succeeded one bit”, I said angrily.
I heard him sigh over the phone.
“Dad I really understand how you feel about my celibacy state, it’s not as if I am enjoying being in celibacy, I’m still working towards getting everything fixed”, he remarked.
I made a face, this was his everytime response.
“Mm, it’s left for you to play your part. I have fought a good fight and I have won the race. Now it’s left for you to also do so same for yourself. If I hadn’t married your mother, I wouldn’t have begot you.
Also, remember that you will soon take over my company. I’m no longer in the position to see into the affairs of that company.
It’s your sole duty to manage that company and make sure everything goes well even in my absence”, I said in details.
“Okay dad, I have heard all you have said. I will make sure all is done according to your wishes, I will”, he responded and I hung up the conversation.
I was still waiting for my maiden to serve me a cup of coffee, when Barrister Tom walked into my living room.
I was surprised to see him, and pondered on what would have brought him so sudden, even without him informing me.
“Good evening Mr Desmond and how are you doing?”, he saluted.
“I’m doing good Barrister, and you?”, I asked trying to hide my fears
“I’m good as well”, he replied.
“Please sit”, I montioned and he sat.
“To what do I owe the greatest jurist of all a visit?”, I asked amusingly.
He simpered.
“Nothing much than that usual intruder of ours”, he chipped in.
Immediately he said that something came into my mind that it was Mr Roger he was yet to discuss about.
“I don’t need you to remind me that it’s Mr Roger. Any ways I’m all ears to listen to whatever he sent you to come tell me”, I responded, ready for the worse.
“He came to my chamber yesterday and told me he is in absolute demand of his late brother’s will. He also added that he would further take action to the extent beyond what we think”, he added.
“What action would he take? Look Barrister Tom, I’m not afraid of whatever Mr Roger is going to do.
You and I know that his late brother fully entrusted us with the responsibility of managing his asset and properties.
And besides he only included us as the beneficiaries, not him”, I gabbled angrily.
“Sir that is what he told me. I don’t know what we gonna do to remedy the situation. I’m definitely dreaded at the way he sounded when he came to my office.
I don’t think we should sit down and watch him go ahead and take any illegal action against us, we need to do something”, he said looking worried.
I sighed.
“Barrister Tom”, I called him, “you are a public figure and a lawyer for that matter, how do you think Mr Roger can do such thing to you?”, I asked.
“Well if you said so. I couldn’t mind relenting my efforts towards that and see his next action”, I said as he arose, biding me goodbye.
Elvis’ Pov
I wasn’t happy when my father told me am still in the state of celibacy.
I know that my best friend Rex has engaged her girlfriend, and that doesn’t mean that I should also hop into engaging any lady I see.
All he said to me affected me. I was both physically and emotionally down.
I couldn’t even do anything at all. Rather, I was just poundering on the thought to also get everything pertaining to me fixed.
I was so engrossed that I didn’t know when my boss walked up to me.
“What’s your problem Elvis?”, she inquired.
I didn’t reply, as a result of my engrossiness, not until she tapped my shoulder, and I became startled and sharply turned to her.
“Ma’am?”, I said with a start.
“I said why are you like this? I have been examining you all this while. You seem to be emotionally down. So spill it, what is wrong?”, she asked again.
“Ma’am, but I really do not want to bug you with my problem”, I said.
She smiled wryly and sat close to me.
“Nope Elvis, come on and talk to me, I might be of help to you, you never can tell”, she insisted, shrugging her shoulders.
I couldn’t refuse anymore, I couldn’t hold myself from telling her what my problems was, since she had really insisted to know it all.
“Ma’am it’s all about my father. Ever since my best friend Rex engaged her girlfriend, he has been complaining bitterly about me also getting prepared to marry soon”, I complained.
“Really, so is this why you have downgraded and isolated yourself as if the whole world is against you?”, she asked me.
I nodded.
“Yes Boss. I don’t really know what to do now to remedy this awkward situation of mine”, I responded with a frown.
“That is not difficult or too cumbersome Elvis. Tell me do you have a girlfriend or anyone you have been dating all this while?”, she asked.
I was shocked and somewhat downcasted when she asked that. Was it that she hadn’t noticed my seemingly closeness to her, or was it that she hasn’t noticed that I wasn’t in any relationship of any sort, always spending all my time with her in this God damn house of hers? Was it? I was already getting infuriated. I sighed.
“I’m not into any relationship with any opposite sex, talk more of having a girlfriend or someone I’m dating”, I said sluggishly.
When I said this she doubted my innocence. It was written all over her facial expressions, her eyes widened in astonishment.
“Elvis I can’t believe this, you don’t? Please I suggest we adjourn this discussion and plan for a better way to sort it out”, she said and got up, leaving me in the couch.
I wasn’t even surprised at her reaction concerning my welfare. I just got up, and quietly went into my room and slept off, to feel a little bit relief.
