"Wait here gentle man" the security guard orders as he made some calls.
"I am sorry you can go in now" the guard said as he opened the thick glassed door.
"Sorry please I will like to see the director" Nathan asks the receptionist who is on the counter.
"Do you have any appointment?" She asked politely
"Yeah"
"Your name sir?"
"Nathan O'Neal" he replied
"Ok you can go in sir" she responded respectfully
He went inside and greeted the man. On the man's table lies a name on a tag and it reads Dr Frederick Douglass.
"How may I help you?"he asked
"Can I have a seat sir" he gestures to the direction of the seat.
"Is that before you answer my question and by the way what made you think that you can come into my office and tell me what to do?" Douglass yelled at him
"Am sorry sir"
"Sorry for your self" he responded with anger.
Nathan was calm but was still standing.
"Sir please i was told to come and get a copy of your monthly report " he stated.
"Who sent and where is Dax?" he asked him with an insulting demeanor.
"I am his assistant, Dax is out of town "
"So that's why you acted stupid"
"Am sorry I mean not to disrespect you"
"A common company report collector asking for a seat" he speaks to himself aloud not minding the presence of Nathan.
He continued "take this and leave this company " he commanded with a stern look.
Nathan left, It have been a very stressful week especially since his uncle assigned him the role of conglomerate report collector.
He has moved from one branch to another in the space of seven days meeting up with the various directors of each company.
This was an instruction from his uncle. This was to enable him have a picture of what the conglomerate is all about and also to know the various personality that each directors pose to normal individuals.
So far for Nathan almost all failed the test. They were very rude and egoistic. They tend to treat people based on their class.

"Is the old man alright?" one of them whispered to his colleagues.
"He is surely demented" the other replied
"By reproductive health status is no longer a news to you people and also the death of my younger brother and his family made it sure that the legacy of the Kanes will end with me" he pauses as he observed them again.
This statement made the twelve board members happy and lively again at least he was still in line as against his former statement.
Mr Kane continued "so I thought until I found my nephew, my brother's only surviving family and my only family " He stated with a smile.
It was now obvious to the board members that the old man still have some tricks under his sleeve. The question they now asked themselves is who is this heir? who is going to be the next heir of Kanes Consortium?
"With all joy and gladness I present to you the heir of The Kanes Empire, Nathan Kane" as he points to a direction.
