Madison paced the new office as she waited for Archer to come back.She was directed here when she came in to look for him and the surprise on her face was just something else.He got a new office, amazing.Her head snapped up when she saw him walking inside while looking at a file, she grinned at the seriousness on his face.“Working hard, I see.” she teased.Archer swore as he dropped the papers to the ground out of shock, his hand flying up to tame his chest.“You scared me,”“My bad,” Madison said with a shrug.Archer glared at her, she didn't look sorry.“What brings you here?” he asked as he walked inside.“It's been a week since you took over temporarily and haven't heard from you,” she said.“I know, I have been busy with the things I had to get to before I took the sea permanently.”Madison waved him away, “I don't mean like that, I meant about your shares.”Archer paused at that, he quickly crossed over to Madison with eyes wide open,“Are you crazy? Never bring that up in h

Archer looked on nervously, he checked his watch and sighed when he realized he was right on time.He was set to meet the international representative of the worldwide networking company, Globus.They had been talking via emails since and Archer decided it was time they met. The representative, Mr Davide, was quite eager to do so.So, Archer had set up a meeting in a neutral place for them, he called in a favor from a friend of his.But so far, he was the only one here.His thoughts came to a screeching halt when a sharp man dressed in a suit strolled into the restaurant accompanied by a woman whom Archer assumed was the secretary.The man came to a stop at the table the hostess directed him to.“Mr Davide, welcome.” Archer greeted.The man nodded his head, “thank you for the warm welcome, Archer.”Archer turned to the woman and smiled at her but she ignored him. He took it in stride.“I am sorry I am late, we encountered traffic on the road.” Davide apologized.“It's okay. I should h

Ferguson rolled his eyes as they brought Dean out for him, he was just doing this because Hailey asked him to.Dean was just one loose end he was waiting to tie up.“Why do you look like that?” he asked Dean.Dean froze mid-sitting and leveled Ferguson with a puzzled look.“Did you look good when you were in jail?” he questioned back.“Touche,” Ferguson said.Dean lifted a brow at the older man, “Please tell me you have come with some type of good news.” he urged.Ferguson grinned, “Of course.”Dean leaned in, excited to hear something but the words that came out from Ferguson’s lips were not what he expected.“I have a better chance of taking over since that fool is crippled. Very soon, I would have the board eating out of my palm.” Dean looked on, amazed at the words he was hearing. He wished Ferguson could take them back but the old fool just prattled on, unaware of the storm that was brewing.“Really?” he asked in disbelief.Ferguson paused, but he waved Dean off again.“You didn

Archer smiled when the call came in, he took his sweet time before he answered it.“Who Is this?” he asked,“Please help me,” Dean pleaded.“Excuse me?”“It's me, Dean. I am ready to talk.”Archer leaned back in his seat, “I am a little disappointed, I thought you were going to hold out for much longer. You were pretty determined to do so.”“I am being serious,”“I have neither the time nor the energy to entertain this call. Goodbye.”“Wait, wait!” Dean yelled.Archer grinned, he was enjoying this a little bit too much. “Yes?”“Ferguson came to see me and I think you will be interested in knowing what he has to say.”Archer perked up, he secretly clicked on the recording on his phone to get everything Dean would say.“What makes you think I am interested?” he asked Dean.“You are looking to take him down, I have information.”“Where was this information when I needed it?” Archer asked.“I wouldn't be calling you if I wasn't desperate, Archer. It's what you intended in the first place

Archer looked up just as Ferguson barged into his office. He dropped the file he was holding on the desk because he was startled.“How dare you?” he yelled.Archer wheeled his chair calmly around his desk and stared down at Ferguson.“The next time you barge into my office without knocking, security would throw you out on your ass.” Ferguson scoffed, “And who is going to give them the order?” he asked.“It seems like you are forgetting your place, old man. You don't have a say here and you do not have a stand in this company.” Archer reminded him.Ferguson was fuming, “That’s bull. It's a good thing to know that the power is getting to your head.”Archer shrugged, “Maybe, but unless you want to find out then I suggest you don't disrespect such power.”“You talk a lot for someone who is in power.”“Yet I managed to put you in jail. Tell me, did you enjoy your time there?” Archer taunted.Ferguson’s nose flared and he clenched his fist. He gave Archer a bright smile.“I heard you visit

The conference room was tense as Archer surveyed every one of them in thereHe had yet to figure out why he had been called there. So far so good, he had not done anything out of the ordinary He has executed his tasks perfectly and has had no complaints so far. It didn't miss Archer that this was an ambush seeing as Maxfield wasn't seated.Archer had called the man to inform him of the board meeting, he had agreed to record the conversation just in case.He wasn't surprised when Ferguson entered the room and sat down. Archer chuckled,“You have been in here more times than when you were a board member.”“We are not here to crack jokes,” Ferguson snapped.Archer raised a brow, “We are not? You could have fooled me.”When nobody answered him and just kept staring, Archer stared at Ferguson.“Then what are we here for then?”Someone cleared their throat and Archer turned his attention towards them, it was one of the older board members.“Archer, first of all, I would like to applaud you

“I am telling you, man. They are out for me.”Archer settled into the chair opposite Sylvester as the other handed him a bottle of beer.“Tell me what happened,”Archer sighed, “The minute I was given a phone call instead of the regular email, I knew something was wrong,I went to the meeting and after they were done buttering me up, they attacked.”“What do you mean they buttered you up?” Sylvester asked,“They were singing praises about my work so far but I knew they were just bull. They wanted to disarm me. After then, they said they couldn't have a crippled man as their CEO. Ferguson was right after all.”“Fuck if he is,” Sylvester swore.Archer looked on with amusement as he took a sip of his drink.“They are all turning against me. Talking about respect for my grandfather like he wouldn't be turning in his grave at their actions.” he chuckled.“I am so pissed. I can't imagine how you feel right now.”“I don't feel anything. I am just waving them away. They can complain all they

Archer glared at the girl coldly.“Tell me the truth or you won't like where this is going.”She wriggled her hands nervously, her eyes darting from one corner of the room to the other.Archer watched with amusement. “Go ahead, this would only be fun for me,” he told her.He saw the minute she resigned to telling the truth.“The truth is that I was curious about you.”Archer reared back from shock, “Excuse me?”He couldn't have heard right. This was officially one of the most weird conversations he had ever had with the opposite sex.The girl chuckled nervously, still refusing to meet his eyes.“This is why I didn't want to talk about it. It's weird.”“Tell me about it,” Archer mumbled under his breath.The girl met his eyes and Archer sighed.“I am still waiting to hear the weird part.”“Well, I have always heard about you from the news and I was just curious. When I got the job here, I felt like I should know where you slept.”Archer’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, he was

Madison looked at Lydia who was standing behind Archer with a curious look.“Who is she?” she asked.“This is Lydia, my new assistant.”“I didn't know you needed one,” Madison said.“I do,” Archer shrugged.“Welcome, Lydia,” she said to her.“Thank you, Miss Hale.”Surprise shone in Madison’s eyes, “You know who I am?”“Of course, who doesn't? It's wonderful to finally meet you.” Lydia gushed.Madison met Archer’s eyes and shook her head in amusement.Archer’s phone rang at that moment and he muttered an excuse to them and answered the phone.“Hello?”“Archer, it's me Davide.” the voice from the other end responded.“What can I do for you?”“Let's have lunch, I have some concerns.”Archer perked up, “Yes, of course, I would be there as soon as possible just send me an address.” he said before he hung up.“Who was that?” Madison asked Archer,“That was the representative of Globus,”Madison furrowed his brows, “Globus? As in…”“Yep,”“How did that happen?”“It has not happened yet that

There was silence. They were too stunned to speak. It was Madison who broke the silence.“What did you just say?”Davide looked between them and shook his head, “I am guessing from your reactions, he was the wrong person.”"That son of a bitch," Madison swore under her breath.Archer looked at her and she nodded.Archer took in a deep breath to calm himself, “What happened?”Davide leaned in and cleared his throat. “I found it suspicious if you ask me. Archer made it clear that he was also seeking a personal relationship with me through this business. I thought it was weird that he would send someone in his place.”“Thank you, I don't know how he managed to get his hands on this information. I didn't mean for all of this to happen.” Archer explained.Davide nodded, “I appreciate your apology. Anyway, when this Ferguson guy tried to discuss it with me, I shut it down. He had no idea who I was."“Why?” Madison asked.“Because if he truly came from Archer then he would have been briefed b
