“I'm so sorry about my boy's reckless behavior,” Mr. Franklin pleaded with Ludex, bowing slightly.Ludex kept mute and nodded at him, he raised one hand and dismissed the men from the supermarket. When he saw that the men were gone, he glared at Jeremy for his actions. Jeremy was panicking like a lost puppy.Jeremy couldn't handle his boss’s gaze on him, he bowed slightly and rubbed the back of his head.“I-I,” he stuttered, “Forgive me, boss,” he said in a rush.Ludex scoffed at his assistant, “Mmm.”He turned to Mia with a worried expression on his face, “Are you okay?”Mia lowered her gaze, trembling slightly by the side.What is happening to her? Why is she scared of that man? Ludex wandered in his thoughts.“You want to talk about it?” Ludex asked with a gentle tone.Mia cleared her throat and took a step back, “I'll get going now, thanks for this,” she raised the items she had bought in the supermarket and made her way out in a hurry.“Mmm,” Ludex scoffed and turned to his assis

“Who are these people? What are they doing here?” Clara asked Angela with a worried expression on her face.Angela could recognize Jeremy from the crowd. She squinted her eyes at him with a furrowed brow.Isn't that the same man she saw with Ludex at the supermarket? What is he doing here? The hallway was flooded with commotion and core whispers. What exactly is going on? Who could these men be?Mia turned her back to have a glimpse of the whole situation and she gaped in shock.“Isn't that Jeremy? What's he doing here with those men? Could it be that Ludex sent him here?” She said in a whisper.Angela could hear what Mia was saying and a frown appeared on her face. How dare she talk about Ludex in front of her? How shameless? “What are you doing? Let her go this instant,” Jeremy snapped with a frown on his face. Before coming to Angela's company, Ludex had instructed him to come with Mia and deliver a threat to Angela. It was time for payback and he couldn't care less who gets hu

The day went by and Angela wandered in her thoughts. If only she didn't listen to anyone back then, she wouldn't have been in a difficult situation. Her family deceived her into divorcing Ludex. Now, the ugly husband becomes the most desired bachelor in town.“Why did I ever have to listen to anyone? I shouldn't have listened to them.”Angela placed both hands on her forehead and sobbed greatly. If only she didn't listen to her family. Now look at the whole situation. Clara knocked on her office door but Angela kept mute. She didn't want to see anyone. Clara was beginning to worry about her friend. What if she does something crazy? Clara can't afford any bad occurrence at the moment. “Angela, please open up. Let's talk, please.”“Go away,” Angela snapped. “Angela please, don't do this. I know you're hurting but you have to come out or at least, talk to someone.”“Go away, Clara. You fucking caused this, get out.”Angela snapped and glared at Clara through the glass door. If only s

The next morning Ludex and his uncle, Sampson, had a backlash. The fact that Ludex temporarily stopped the company from disbursing loans pissed Uncle Sampson off.Sampson felt insulted because, despite his signature plastered on the documents, Ludex went ahead to disapprove of the process. “Who does that little brat think he is?” Sampson groaned in frustration, pacing the corners of his office.“I need to talk to him now,” Sampson stormed out of his office, heading towards Ludex's office.The employees avoided Sampson's outburst. They made way for him as he stormed the company with so much rage inside of him.When Sampson got to his destination, he slammed the door against the wall and glared at the young man seated in his executive chair.“Ludex, what the hell do you think you're doing?” Sampson snapped his fist clenched.Ludex sat comfortably on his chair without blinking an eye. “I'm talking to you, young man,” Sampson snapped for the second time and yet, Ludex gave him a deaf ea

“Are you sure you're okay, uncle?” Ludex asked, his brows narrowed. No matter what Sampson says, he knows his uncle is not comfortable seated at the meeting. Why on earth will he be comfortable when he is the reason the company is facing a major setback? “Ludex, what is the meaning of this? Why do you have to call us here on short notice? Do you even understand how things work? You can't just wake up one fateful day and summon everyone here without prior notice.”“And why can't I when I'm the president, uncle?” Ludex squinted his eyes at his uncle. “The last time I remember, you're no longer the president around here? So are you going to undermine my authority before all these people?”Sampson sighed in frustration, rubbing the back of his head. Ludex was beginning to get on his damn nerves.How dare he embarrass him in front of everyone? Ludex is nothing compared to his son. If only Wade had passed the company down to him. Charlie would have been the one in Ludex's position right n
