Armand's head swiveled gradually upon hearing his name, locking eyes with the person before him, emanating an air of unwavering confidence."Jude" he said in a relaxed tone."It was you?!" Jude asked accusingly."What was me?" Armand replied, his demeanor unwavering."You really have the guts to ask me that? Whatever did my family do to you?" Jude yelled."Are you really asking me that?" Armand responded, he had hoped that question was a rhetorical one."Jude, all I ever did was help you and King out of a difficult situation you guys were in years back.But you decided it would be fun to humiliate me in a way I didn't deserve, to be fair, you got way less than you actually deserved""What about my family? Did they humiliate you as well? Or are you just a sick individual who derives not from watching the downfall of others?" Jude spat."Your mum humiliated me that day at the gym, but I wouldn't say that was the reason I decided to put her in her place. You and your parents are

"It's time" After walking away from Carla, Armand had gone to wash his face. He had just returned to the garden when Vanessa walked up to him and notified him that it was time. He had a press conference to attend ."Oh boy" he muttered and followed Vanessa to where the media was. They tried crowding in on him and bombarding him with all their questions at once, but Vanessa wasn't having it.In a calm, composed and controlled voice, she said "Thank you all for your interest. I understand there are many questions, and Mr Armstrong will do his best to address them one at a time. Let's start with one question at a time, please"However, that plea fell on deaf ears, everyone had something to ask the CEO of D'Armstrong Empire."I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it would be helpful if we could take this one question at a time. That way, Mr Armstrong can provide you with accurate and thoughtful responses" Vanessa repeated and fortunately, the crowd seemed to understand her."To ensur

As the golden rays of sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow in the room, Armand slowly opened his eyes and stretched his arms with a joyous smile on his face. This was no ordinary morning for him, as he awakened with an overwhelming sense of happiness and contentment. The events of the previous night had unfolded as he had planned, leaving him with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.With a skip in his step, Armand swung his legs out of bed and planted them firmly on the floor. He relished the sensation of the soft carpet beneath his toes, almost as if it mirrored the comfort he felt in his heart. A symphony of chirping birds outside his window seemed to harmonize perfectly with his inner state of bliss.Dressed in a crisp white shirt and tailored trousers, he made his way to the mirror. His reflection revealed a face radiating with genuine happiness. His eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and contentment, reflecting the success of his well-executed

"My bad, I meant Mr Armstrong" Carla quickly corrected herself, remembering what he had told her the previous night."May I sit?" She asked ."Feel free," Armand replied, gesturing towards the chair in front of him."When I informed my parents I would be here today, they asked me to extend their greetings. They wanted you to know how happy they were to see you last night and they regret not having the opportunity to speak to you" Carla said"How was your…" Carla wanted to make small talk but Armand just wasn't in the mood for it."What do you want, Carla? I need you to go straight to the point, I have important businesses I need to attend to" Armand stated."That's true. I'm sorry if it felt like I was wasting your time" Carla apologized..At that moment, she knew it would take more than dressing seductively and wearing nice perfume to interest Armand.The conversation was not going her way "This will be harder than I thought" she muttered."What was that? I didn't catch that

"That was an incredible speech, Armand. You really connected with the students and inspired them to pursue their dreams. I'm so proud of you" Vanessa said to Armand once they got close to where the car was."Thank you, babe. It means a lot coming from you. The students were incredibly receptive, and I'm glad we could make a positive impact" he replied."We certainly did. The way you shared your personal journey and emphasized the importance of education was truly remarkable" Vanessa said."Absolutely, Vanessa. Education has been a transformative force in my life, and I believe every child deserves access to quality education." Armand responded."I couldn't agree more. We have the means to make a difference, and it's our responsibility to do so." Vanessa said."I'm glad we share the same vision, Vanessa. It's not just about providing financial support; it's about empowering these students to pursue their dreams, to break the barriers that hold them back. We have an opportunity to
