Chapter 23 - 23. Thinking The Same… (1/2)

It was already 9 pm when Alonzo came back in S city. He reached at his apartment and after taking a bath, he quickly ate his dinner which had been delivered by his assistant, as his maid and cook would be joining for the house course from the next day.

Alonzo just got into his room when his grandmother called him. He picked up the call, ”Hello grandma. Why didn't you sleep yet?”

”How could I sleep when you hadn't even called me after arriving there?” Grandma Brown was very angry.

”Sorry. I was about to call you but you called me first.”

”Humph! As you are safe, I'm cutting the call then. I have to sleep now. Bye..” Grandma Brown didn't even gave him a chance to reply as she cut the call.

Alonzo smiled, looking at the phone because he knew how much his grandmother loved him. She adores him a lot, specially because he looks more like his grandfather than his own father. Keeping the phone aside, he then slept off, as from the next day, it would be a war for him, to took revenge on one person by getting back her to himself and also to start a new journey as the new business man of city S.

Next morning, as usual, Reuben dropped Veronica at her office before going to Smith Enterprise. Every employee stood up from their seat to greet him 'Good Morning'.

He just nodded his head slightly as a response and went directly in his office. His assistant Tom, greeted him in his office and gave him the files that he needed to sign.

Even after a while, when Tom didn't leave the place, Reuben then lifted his head up from those files to look at him confusingly. He then kept his pen on the table and intertwined the fingers of his both hands and pressed his elbows on the table, resting his chin on his hand.

”Do you have something to say?” Reuben asked.

”Boss you remember Mr. Alonzo Brown, right?” Tom asked after taking a deep breath.
