"And please allow me to invite you to the table up here with me.....well come on up here, Patrick. " Andrew gestured toward Patrick who held an expectant gaze on his face. Patrick adjusted his tuxedo before he stood up and made his way across the conference room, a smile playing across his face. Patrick couldn't contain his excitement as he joined Andrew. "Thank you so much, boss," Patrick said, reaching his hand out for a handshake. "I should be the one thanking you, Patrick." Andrew started, taking his hand, "You have managed this company well and you deserve this promotion." Andrew took Patrick's hand and shook it fervently. Patrick didn't know how to respond other than to let out another thank you. "Please let's give our new CEO of THE GENIUS GROUP OF COMPANIES, Patrick a round of applause." Andrew let out and all pairs of hands began to resound in an applause of accolade. "Thank you so much boss, I just cannot thank you enough." Patrick let out. "You are welcome, Patrick,"

Chapter 83Andrew was still in shock when the screen disappeared. He wiped the sweat away from his face. The gate suddenly opened and the gatekeeper stepped out, signaling to Andrew to make his way inside the house. "The hell?!" Andrew managed to mutter after he had regained his composure. Despite the air conditioner working just fine, his clothes were drenched with his own sweat. His hands trembled when he tried to get hold of the car keys and start the car. When he couldn't seem to get hold of himself. He unlocked the car and got down from it, making his way through the gate instead. "Good afternoon boss, welcome home boss." The gatekeeper greeted. Andrew barely waved at him and made his way inside. The gatekeeper's face contorted in confusion, his eyes glued to Andrew as he made his way into the house with the car still parked outside. He noticed that Andrew's hair was dishevelled, he looked disoriented and his clothes soaked down to his shoes. "Boss, what about your car?" Th

Andrew was unable to peel his eyes away from the screen as he kept on reading the message over and over again inside his head. His other hand clutched the wheel of his cloth while he drove down to his office even when he had no reason to be there that day. He didn't realize that he was still dressed in his clothes from yesterday. All he thought of at that moment was to get to his office as soon as possible, he hadn't even remembered the promise that he made to himself not to But when he got there, he was surprised that the office was still in the condition. "What in the name of— is this a prank or something?" Andrew raised his phone to his face and read the text message again. "I thought the message said a part of the company was burning," Andrew said still staring dumbfoundedly at the text message before letting it down. "Everything seems to be in perfect condition here." Andrew pressed down on the car horn and waited for the gate to open before he drove in. The gatekeeper was eq

Andrew's eyes Fluttered open as he woke up, blinking rapidly as the morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, lighting up his bedroom. He glanced around, disoriented, his mind was still in a blank space for that moment. He struggled to remember what had happened the previous night. He looked around the room with suprise in his eyes wondering how he had got here. He held his head feebly between his hands and tried to process his thoughts. There was something there, just beyond his reach, something important. He reached for it, but as he did, a sharp pain shot through the back of his head. He winced, pressing his fingers to his temple, as if that might help to ease the throbbing ache."What... happened?" he muttered to himself, still feeling groggy. He pushed himself up on the bed, propping his back against the headboard. The images from the previous night were blurred, and no matter how hard he tried to concentrate, he couldn't piece them together.As he swung his legs over the

Andrew dried his face clean before making his way out of the bathroom. Lisa was already long gone by the time that he was out. His eyes scanned the room for any signs of Valkyron but the system wasn't there. He sighed and proceeded to dry the rest of his body. As he did so, there was only one thought on his mind; to visit the prison where Alec had been and question the officers why they had released him from prison. The thought of it made Andrew's insides burn with rage—How could they have let Alec off just like that, after the gravity of his crimes? Andrew could not contain his disappointment for the police department in the city. Even if they had wanted to release Alec, be shooting have been informed about it. Now he was convinced that the letter he had gotten was from Alec himself—he had been the one to deliver the threat letter to his office. "That bastard, if I happen to lay my hands on him, I'm so going to beat him to a pulp and he's going to regret leaving prison in the firs
