As soon as Alfred exited the Zealot Construction Company building, he reached for his phone from his pocket and placed a call to Mrs. Williams, eager to relay the news."Hello Aunt, I'm pleased to report that I've secured a deal for the company," he announced, a hint of self-pride in his tone. "We'll be getting a 30% cut of the profits for the new development project."Mrs. Williams's voice crackled over the line. "Well done, Alfred," she said, her tone warmer than usual. "I knew you'd make us proud.Alfred basked in her praise, his chest swelling with pride. "I'm glad to hear you're pleased," he said, his voice swelling with confidence. "And with this deal, we'll be firmly cemented as one of the top construction companies in the city. Anyway, we've been asked to pay a sum of one million dollars to get it sealed,""I'll cook dinner tonight and invite Avery and her husband," Mrs. Williams said, her voice cool and calculated. "We'll tell them about the investment needed for the deal. Wi

Alfred walked into the Zealot construction company, his step light and his chest puffed out with pride. He was eager to see the fruits of his labor, ready to bask in the glory of his accomplishment.But as he approached the entrance, he was abruptly halted by a security guard. "Hello, sir. Please, who are you looking for?" the guard inquired, his hand stretching out to block Alfred's path.Alfred's eyes narrowed, his expression turning frosty. "How dare you?" he snapped, his voice dripping with condescension. "Do you know who I am?""You dare lay your hand on my suit?" Alfred seethed, his outrage mounting as he slapped the guard's hand away from his expensive attire. "Do you have any idea of the brand and cost of this suit? You should be grateful that I don't have you fired for such insolence."The security guard stiffened, his face pale as he stammered an apology. "I-I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know who you were. Please, forgive my mistake," he pleaded, stepping aside to let Alfred pass

Alfred got angry, his eyes showing his outrage as he pointed a finger at the security guard and accused him. "How dare you?" he roared, his voice reverberating through the lobby. "First, you stole from me, and now you're ganging up to beat me?""This is assault!" he shouted, his face contorted with fury. "I'll sue your company for everything you've got!"But before he could keep talking, an employee stepped forward, her face showing angry disapproval."Keep your mouth shut!" she snapped, her voice cutting through the chaos like a blade. "You got violent first, remember? Don't try to play the victim here."Alfred's jaw dropped, his face flushing with humiliation as he realized the truth of her words. He had lashed out first, striking one of the security guards in his desperate fury.The security guards surrounded Alfred, their faces stern and unyielding as they pushed him towards the door. "Leave," one of them said in a low, threatening tone.Just as Alfred was about to disappear thro

"My husband will help with securing Alfred release. I hope he gets the favour of whoever is incharge" Avery said.Mrs Williams quickly objected, "I don't think that would be wise," she said, her voice tinged with urgency. "One of the officers mentioned that the disciplinary officer who arrested Alfred is known to be a womanizer. I think it would be best for you to handle the case yourself as a woman."Everyone turned and gave Mrs William a surprised look, their eyes wide with disbelief. "I should handle the case myself like I'm a prostitute?" Avery spat, her voice bristling with anger.Mrs. Williams, realizing her mistake, struggled to think of something to say. "Oh, no! I didn't mean it like that," she stammered, flushing red with embarrassment. "I just meant that, as a woman, you might have more luck appealing to the officer's...well, his desires, if you know what I mean."But the damage was already done, Avery's expression hardening into a scowl."I am not some cheap harlot to be t

As the two walked back into the office, the tension was palpable. Avery shot a stern look at Mr. Kofo, conveying her displeasure with the events that had transpired.Mr. Kofo, understanding the gravity of the situation, offered an apology. "I'm deeply sorry for the words I used earlier. It was not my intention to offend or accuse you, but rather, to test your integrity. I wanted to know if you were different from your cousin," he said with contrition.Avery, realizing the urgency of Alfred's situation, decided to let go of what had just transpired. "Let's focus on what we can do now," Avery stated firmly, her tone reflecting the seriousness of her request. "My cousin's safety is of utmost importance. What can be done to secure his release, given that a contract is no longer possible due to his actions?""I'll begin making the necessary calls to ensure your cousin's release as soon as we finish our conversation here," Mr. Kofo assured Avery.Avery acknowledged his efforts with a nod, s
