Ken dropped his pen and grabbed the letter he had just written, addressed to the CEO of RAZBERRY company. At the restaurant last evening, Jane had advised him to write an anonymous letter to the CEO, putting down in words everything he heard.After he complained about how he was going to get the anonymous letter to him, Jane told him to take advantage of the pigeonholes company CEO's normally have at the door to their offices. He was to drop the letter there.He had appreciated her for providing a solution to the problem and the first thing he did after waking up that morning was to pen down the message.He fixed his gaze on the paper and began reading it out loud. "Dear Mr. Carter, I'm reaching out to you via this medium to communicate a matter that requires an urgent response. On the 5th of November around 2 pm, I overheard two men plotting a scheme. They plan to poison you. This message wasn't written to seek any attention or mislead you but to warn you of the danger ahead."After

Chapter 53Ken couldn't fix his gaze on a particular spot. He shifted it from the CEO to the critics who have just presented the drinks by the factory guys.He fidgeted and turned with sparkling eyes after someone tapped him on the shoulder.A lady, smartly dressed in the company logistics uniform was presenting the newly launched ginger drink to him. She was leaning toward him.Ken stared at the bottle and shifted his gaze back to the podium. The glasses were already filled and Charlie and the other factory guys were presenting the drinks to everyone on stage."Don't you care for a drink?" The lady demanded and waved the bottle before Ken's eyes.He turned around and noticed that all the employees were being served the drink. He snatched the bottle from her and when he turned, the CEO and his guests were already striking their glasses against each other, making a toast.Ken pressed his eyes against each other and a burning sensation took over his veins. He opened his eyes almost imme

CHAPTER 55Ken took rushed steps after the security officer who was leading them to the CEO's office. He was in between the CEO and the security officer.He cast his gaze to the floor and kept hurrying after the physically built security officer who was taking long strides out of the building.The employees stood by the end of the pillars, watching as Ken was being led to the CEO's office. He was led out of the reception and down to the administrative block. Had he done much? Ken wondered as flashes of the fight between him and the man who tried to stab the CEO fluttered in his mind.After going through the whole fame trouble on campus, he had promised himself that he wasn't going to display any martial art skills. He wanted to keep a low profile but now, it was evident that his skills had just been brought to the limelight.If he hadn't intervened and engaged the man in combat, the CEO would have been murdered.They got to the CEO's block and the security officer stopped by the entr

Ken spent the weekend in his apartment. He didn't attend any social function or call up Cassie who had lately complained about his busy schedule. The CEO's near-death incident was an event he couldn't forget in a hurry. He had been trying to wrap his head around it. First, someone tried to murder the CEO on stage, and then the CEO told him he knew about the ploy to poison him. Ken also had the promotion offer to deal with. He'll be glad if he was asked to maintain his job as the assistant cashier. *****Monday morning! Ken opened his eyes before his alarm could signal the dawn of a new day. He took languish steps to the bathroom, took a shower, and slipped into a comfortable pair of blue jeans and a cream tee shirt. He opened the small cupboard where he tucked his groceries but was greeted by the furniture's emptiness. All he could see was toothpaste, cream, a bottle of milk that was halfway gone, and other non-consumable items. He slammed the cupboard and crashed into the edge

The CEO led Ken into his office and offered him the twin couch to sit on. Ken sat and inhaled the sweet jasmine extract whose scent had taken over the room.Mr. Carter must have a taste for sweet fragrances he thought and rested his back against the couch.Mr. Carter strode to the refrigerator which was stationed by the right corner of his room. He pulled out a bottle of cold water. He placed the RAZBERRY water on the glass table before Ken. "I can have a bottle of champagne sent to us if you won't have the water," he said.Ken swung his head from left to right. "It's okay sir."Mr. Carter sat opposite him and crossed his legs. "So, I'll draft a document, spelling out your roles, and send it to you so that you'll know what's expected of you."Ken sighed and turned away, displaying his lack of interest in the quest."I don't need to remind you but this is a job to die for." Mr. Carter hinted.Ken cleared his throat loudly and the CEO knew he wanted to speak so he urged him to carry on
