The next day, Derrick and Tom got dressed and they followed sir Williams to the company. They left in Derrick's new car. The car was a sleek, black limousine, and it purred along the road as if it were gliding on air. Derrick had never been in such a luxurious vehicle before, and he felt a little out of place as he sat back in the leather seats. But he tried to relax and enjoy the ride, knowing that this was just a taste of the life he would be leading from now on. Sir Williams sat across from him, a contented smile on his face. "How are you feeling, Derrick?" he asked."I feel a little overwhelmed," Derrick admitted. "But in a good way. I'm excited for the future." Sir Williams nodded. "It's normal to feel that way. But I think you'll find that you'll settle into your new role quickly. You have all the qualities I look for in a personal manager." Derrick was flattered, and he straightened his tie, feeling a little more confident. "Thank you, sir," he said. "I'll do my best to liv

As Derrick watched the news report, Derrick couldn't help but think back to his time at Ruby's company. He remembered the long hours, the endless stress, and the lack of respect he had received. He remembered the times when she had berated him in front of his colleagues, or ignored his ideas in favor of her own. And he remembered the moment when she had fired him without a second thought, even after all the hard work he had put in. "She brought this on herself," he thought, his mind swirling with bitterness. "If she had only treated me better, things might have been different."Derrick got up and switched off the light in his office, he realized that he was the last person to leave the company building. The silence of the empty building followed Derrick as he walked down the hallway and out the front door, the only sound the click of his footsteps on the polished floor. When he reached the parking lot, he stopped for a moment to breathe in the cool night air, feeling a sense of relie

The morning of the meeting dawned bright and clear, a stark contrast to the dark cloud that hung over Ruby's head. She grabbed the proposal, a stack of papers that she had poured her heart and soul into, and tucked it into her briefcase. Then, with a sigh, she walked out to her car and climbed in behind the wheel. As she pulled out of her driveway, her mind was filled with doubt and uncertainty. What if she couldn't convince the CEO to invest? What if this was the end of the road for her company? But she pushed these thoughts away, focusing on the task at hand.Ruby glanced at the clock on her dashboard, a knot of anxiety forming in her stomach. It was already 9:45, and she was stuck in traffic, the cars ahead of her crawling along like a slow-moving river of steel and glass. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, willing the cars to move faster, willing the traffic to part like the Red Sea. "Come on," she muttered under her breath. "I can't be late. Not today." But the traffic sho

“But how can a nobody like you, become the CEO?” Ruby asked, curiosity in her eyes.”“I am the CEO.” Derrick snapped.Ruby was stunned.Derrick watched with a twisted sense of pleasure as Ruby struggled to come to terms with his new position. Her shock and surprise were clear, and he reveled in it. "I'm the CEO, Ruby," he repeated, his voice dripping with disdain. "And let me tell you, it's not an easy job. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to run a company like this. Things that you clearly don't have." He watched as Ruby's face flushed with anger and embarrassment, her hands clenched into fists at her sides.Derrick's eyes narrowed as he leaned forward, his expression serious and cold. "You want my help, Ruby?" he asked, his voice low and menacing. "Then I suggest you start acting like it. No more yelling, no more demands. If you want me to even consider your proposal, you will speak to me with respect. Is that understood?" Ruby nodded, her cheeks burning with shame and

As Ruby hesitated, Derrick leaned forward in his chair, his expression intense and calculating. "Time is running out, Ruby," he snapped, his voice urgent and insistent. "I can't wait for you to make up your mind. If you don't sign the documents now, I'll walk away and never look back. Your company will be history, and you'll have no one to blame but yourself." Ruby swallowed hard, her fingers trembling around the pen as she looked up at Derrick with haunted eyes. "I'll do it," she whispered. "I'll sign the documents."“Great choice.” Derrick chuckled.Derrick's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed out the agreement, the sharp click-clack of the keys filling the silent office. His face was impassive, but his eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he completed the document, printing it out on his high-tech printer. With a swift motion, he slid the papers across the desk, the sharp edges of the paper cutting through the air like knives. "Sign here," he said, his voice cold and author
