Back at the Marcus’ house.Mr Marcus was sitting in the pouch, reading some news on his phone. Cephas followed his ex-wife closely as she went to where her father was to greet him.Her male cousin, Lucas, was also sitting with him. “Good evening dad,” she hugged him.“Good evening Father.” Cephas said after her but he got snobbed.“Oh my baby, you look so tired. I called in to speak to you at work but the front desk said you were not around. I heard that you went to Walter’s corporation.”“Yes, dad but they are not willing to invest up to a billions dollars in us.”“How much did they offer?”“Two hundred million dollars.”“That low? That is twenty percent of the initial amount we requested for? Are they kidding me?” Her dad yelled on top of his voice. “Why did they say they can’t give us all of the money?”“Cephas, explain to dad.”“Okay. Father, the investment process is really strict in Walter's corporation. They don’t give it out to small companies or companies that don’t have g

They didn’t usually look hungry as if they were going to bite their victim immediately.The class president spoke up, “We are still waiting for Mark, he said he is running late because of the job he just got, he went to receive the staff incentive that came with the job.”He didn't really have to add the fact that he went to receive an incentive as if he was trying to show off on behalf of Mark.“Mark got a job?” Cephas asked. “For what company?” he asked curiously because his company was also giving incentives to their new staff.“It’s a new investment company. I think he said the name was CW invest

Early the next morning, Cephas woke up by 6am for work. He took his bath and got ready. He frowned his face as he opened his wardrobe again. He had to go shopping soon, or get one of his assistants to do it because the clothes that were in his wardrobe were not fit for someone of his standard. The loss of his clothes didn't affect him financially in any way, but it was very inconvenient because he had to wear these ugly clothes that weren't even his size. He was taller and his chest was broader than that of Violet's father. He finally decided on a pair of black trousers and a black shirt. He put it on, even though they were a little tight for him. He put on his black shoes and called Anta to tell one of his drivers to come and pick him up and take him to the office. "Good morning sir" she answered as she picked up. "Hello Anta, I need a driver to get me to the office this morning," He said. "Yes sir , what address should he come and pick you up from?" She asked, already calli

When Anta and Cephas got into their first and only meeting for the day, The head of finance was waiting for them to give his report, but the heads of the other departments were also there, Cephas as was already annoyed at the events of the day, but he still sat down at one of the chairs there. Jose cleared his throat and began. "Good morning sir, we are so happy to have you back after such a long while at work. I know you asked for the head of finance to give you a report this morning but I felt that it would be more effective if we had the reports from every department in the company since they are connected in some way." he had missed having Cephas around to talk about work and was excited about his presence in the office. Cephas didn't know about this but just stead of getting angry about this unseen event, he waved his hands for them to go ahead. The departments in the company all came forward one by one to give reports of the progr3ss that had been made since Cephas last saw

In the Marcus House, they were all having dinner around the table. Mrs Marcus was making Cephas do all the things that the servants were supposed to do. She was the only one that still picked on him the most but was very lenient with everyone else in the family.Asking him to add syrup to her food or telling him to refill the jug, but he did what she asked without complaining because he didn't want to cause a scene.Plus he had been in a good mood since Violet has lost the investment she wanted through fraudulent activities. To him sleeping with a CEO for an investment is fraud.Though Walter’s Corporation was losing its money, they were still strict about whom they gave their money to. They were already in a tender place and making the wrong investment right now could completely destroy the business. It was none of his business anyway.Mrs Marcus had been quiet because ever since everyone in the family found out about her gambling addiction, she had no access to the family’s cash
