I Hope You Will Never Regret

A few minutes after Mrs Bennet left, Mr Martins heard someone knocking on the door. His face darkened. He thought it was Mrs Bennet again. He was going to give her the piece of his mind.

When he opened the door, he smiled brightly when he saw the Evans couple. Paul looked at August and said, “How are you, my friend? My wife wanted to come last night, but I told her to give my God granddaughter a space.”

August smiled and replied, “My daughter is in her bedroom with her best friend, Gabriella. She didn’t sleep a wink. She was crying the whole night.”

Paul looked at August and replied, “This is a blessing in disguise, my God granddaughter would have a miserable life if she married Jordan. He is arrogant, and he doesn’t deserve my God-granddaughter.”

Suzie nodded her head and replied, “I am glad that Jordan is no longer in my God granddaughter’s life. She deserves better.”

Mrs Evans woke up early in the morning and cooked a lot of comfort food for her God granddaughter. Mr Martins thanked them, and then Mrs Evans took the plates and started dishing out for everyone.

She took two plates to Avery’s bedroom. She knocked at the door, and Gabriella opened the door. Mrs Evans greeted them then she gave them food. Avery took the plate and thanked her God grandmother.

Her God grandmother hugged her tightly and said, “Sweetheart, please try to eat something.” Avery looked at her with eyes full of tears and replied, “Thank you, God grandma, but I don’t have an appetite.”

Five years of unrequited love. Tears streamed down her face. Her God Grandmother’s heart ached for Avery when she saw her crying. She stayed in Avery’s bedroom comforting her.

At 11:55 August and Paul went to Avery’s study room to have a Zoom meeting with the senior management. CEO Martins didn’t cancel the meeting, but he asked his Executive Secretary, Siyabonga Cele to lead the meeting.

Everyone in the construction industry was looking forward to knowing the winner of the Spaghetti Junction project. It was a mammoth project.

The Martins Group management was so sad that they didn’t participate in the bidding for the Spaghetti Junction project. However, they were excited about the winner.

Siyabonga indicated that the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure would be announcing the winner of the Spaghetti Junction project.

He took the remote and asked the managers to listen to the Minister before they started their meeting.

CEO Martins was puzzled because the Martins Group didn’t bid to build the Spaghetti Junction, but he didn’t utter a word. The Minister was at the Everlasting Group studio with Gail Mamba.

She smiled brightly at Minister Zulu and said, “Good day Minister Zulu, thank you for joining us.” Minister Zulu smiled and replied, “Pleasure is mine, Gail. May I ask you a question? Who do you think deserves to tackle this mammoth project?”

Gail replied without any hesitation, “The Martins Group, even though I don’t know what happened to them. I think they will give this project their 100%.

Since they are missing in action, my second option would be the new kid on the block, the Bennet Group. They have proven that they have the strength to tackle any project. However, I am rooting for the Martins Group.”

The Martins Group management felt sadness in their hearts when they heard Miss Mamba’s words. Jordan smiled brightly when he heard his company name mentioned along with the great Martins Group.

His heart swelled with pride. He was forgetting that the employees were from the Martins Group.

Minister Zulu agreed with Gail and said, “I don’t want to waste your time, Gail. When I saw their bid, I was surprised because they hadn’t bid for a couple of years.

Let me take you out of your misery, drum roll please.” Gail beat her desk, and then Minister Zulu said, “The winner of the Spaghetti Junction Project is the Martins Group. Congratulations CEO Martins.”

CEO Martins’ mind went blank. Did Minister Zulu make a mistake? The Martins Group managers were over the moon. They hugged each other. Director Evans hugged his CEO. He was beaming with joy and said, “Congratulations boss.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

At that moment, Avery walked to the study room, followed by Gabriella and Mrs Evans. She looked at her father and said, “Daddy, this is my gift to you for being naïve.”

Her father hugged her tightly and asked, “When did you apply for this tender? How did you get my signature?”

Avery smiled and replied, “Remember that day I asked you to sign a document outside the Martins mansion?” Her father nodded his head; he signed the document without reading it.

Avery smiled and said, “I asked Siya to stamp the document and submit the application the following day.”

Her father had tears in his eyes and said, “Thank you, my lovely daughter. I nearly had a heart attack. I thought Minister Zulu had made a mistake.” He kissed his daughter on both cheeks. He was very happy.

When the managers heard Avery’s words, they hugged and kissed Siyabonga. They were too excited; they were not in the mood for the meeting. CEO Martins told them that the meeting was adjourned.

They congratulated their CEO, then they left the boardroom. The whole office was over the moon about winning the tender.

On the other hand, Jordan wanted to kill Avery. He knew that it was Avery’s doing. She was spiteful. She was avenging herself for being cold towards her.

The Martins Group construction workers were over the moon. They called their Team Leaders indicating that they wanted to cancel their vacation leave and return to work.

Their Team Leaders called Director Evans for a way forward. CEO Martins asked Director Evans to invite his Team Leaders to a Zoom meeting. He quickly sent the code and the password to his Team Leaders.

After everyone had logged in, CEO Martins addressed them. He thanked them for their hard work and said, “Congratulations on winning the tender. I am going to meet with the Minister to discuss the Spaghetti Junction Project.

Director Evans will let you know when we are starting. Take this time to recharge your batteries. Come back refreshed.”

They thanked their CEO, and they promised that they would work very hard. Then the meeting was dismissed. They conveyed the message to their team members.
