Hailey sighed and hid behind the wall. She had been following Archer since Jack told her to be careful.She was curious to know the big leagues Archer played for. She had to make sure Jack was not talking out of his ass.Hailey had been surprised to see Dean with Archer, she knew they hated each other so much.She had no idea what was happening around her. Hailey turned and froze when she saw Dean smirking at her.Before she knew what was happening, his hand struck out and curled around a piece of her hair as he twirled it around his finger.“What are you doing here,?” Dean murmured, his face soft as he stared at Hailey with soft eyes.“Who are you?”Dean rolled his eyes, “Cut the crap, Hailey. You are not fooling anyone. I know you recognize me.”Hailey sighed. He was right. She recognized that unruly bastard. The energy to deny and keep fighting drained out of her.“What do you want, Dean?”Dean scoffed, “What do I want? After all these years?”“You expect me to squeal for joy and j

Archer held a bottle of wine in his hands and knocked on Maxfield’s house. He realized this was a good day to talk to the man and ask him for a favor. The other time when Maxfield suspended Ferguson and clapped him on the back, he realized then that when the old man told him that he was on his side, it meant he would do something too.Archer looked up just as the butler opened the door, the man looked at him from head to toe.“Who are you?”“My name is Archer and I work for Mr Maxfield.”“Is he expecting you?”Archer shook his head, “No sir. But I must see him. I need to tell him something important.”The butler raised a brow in surprise. He was shocked because Archer called him sir. He had received a lot of disrespect on this job from these privileged kids.But if Mr Maxfield spoke to people, it was people who had enough morals. Archer held his breath as he waited for the butler to insult him.He wasn't dressed to the nines. He was surprised when the man smiled and opened the door

“No!” Dickson shouted.“I refuse to let this happen,” Scoffield backed him up.Archer stared with blank eyes as the two board members swore up a storm. Maxfield just announced to them that he was joining the board.They had flown out of their seats, cursed, and pointed at Archer while they said all kinds of senseless things.Maxfield had warned him not to say anything but listening to them talk was giving him a headache.“Maxfield, are you out of your mind? How can you let him take Ferguson’s place?” “Why can't I?” Archer asked.“We are not talking to you.” Dickson snapped.“But I am right here if you are going to talk about me. Say it to my face.”Dickson rolled his eyes and pointed to Archer, “This is what I am talking about, the boy has no respect for anyone.”“Have I ever offended you?” Archer asked,They sputtered, “That’s not the important thing here.”Archer couldn't fathom why they were so vehemently opposed to his presence.Dickson, his face etched with disapproval, spoke fi

Dean stood red-faced as he yelled at Ferguson. He has had enough of this whole sham.He thought it was going to be as easy as Ferguson sold him, get yourself recognized as the heir and leave the rest to me.Everything was turning into a shit show.“Are you kidding me? I am not getting paid enough for this. You didn't think to tell me that everyone hated you?”Ferguson kept staring into space not listening to Dean.“Come work with me, I will make you rich. Fucker didn't think to include that you hold no power anywhere. You are just a sad man trying to gain power.”When Ferguson still didn't respond, Dean snapped his fingers.“Are you even listening to me? Are you just standing there like a defeated zombie?” he snapped.“Shut up!” Ferguson screamed.Dean took a step back as he stared at Ferguson.“What the hell is wrong with you?”“You are what's wrong with me. God! I can't talk from all the whining you have been doing since you got here,”Dean gaped at Ferguson. His brows furrowed as h

“What's going on here?” Archer stepped back from Ferguson and looked to see Madison staring at them with a frown.He cleared his throat but didn't say anything and nobody did.“Are you deaf? I asked, "What is going on here?” she said in a much clearer voice.Ferguson turned, his face still red from anger. His anger tipped over when he saw Madison standing there with her hands on her hips.He sneered, “Oh look, everyone, the bitch has come to gloat.” Ferguson looked around hoping people would see the humor in his state t and laugh with him.All he got was stony silence.Madison clenched her jaw and walked towards him and slapped him across the cheek.The sound bounced off the room and people gasped but Madison didn't care. She was done letting them disrespect her.“I will ignore the fact that you are trespassing in my company after you have been suspended. I am asking for the last time, why are you harassing my employees?” she asked in a cold tone.Ferguson rubbed his cheek, the hatr
