Linnie waited for the person she had called earlier at the private lounge that she had paid for. It was not to 8pm yet, and the person might not arrive in the next thirty minutes, but Linnie intentionally left the house early enough because she just wanted time to herself to relax before the main time.While she did, she turned on her mobile data and watched the business interview that Luther was supposed to be attending with Abby that he got dropped and Laxus was selected in his place.Linnie had mixed feelings about it. First of all, she was happy, because she knew that her husband, Luther, had his eyes on Abby, the same woman that Linnie hated with passion. Abby Golden literally had everything that Linnie wanted in life. If Linnie could switch roles and be a young, successful, influential, and powerful female CEO of one of the most successful companies in the country, she would not even need a man. This was exactly why Linnie was fighting so hard to get a seat in the Kinkaid Distill

Linnie drove home with mixed emotions with her conversation with Bridget.The moment Laxus launched his company, Linnie was smart enough to know that he would be in need of staff, and more importantly, he would be in need of a secretary or personal assistant. While Darwin and Luther had been fuming and pacing, Linnie had been thinking strategically.“Now that Laxus has come out to limelight, I need to know exactly what is going on. The last time I visited his rented apartment, it was wretched and poorly furnished, so there is no way Laxus could have amounted to that out of the blues. I also know that he worked at small restaurant, making and selling hamburgers, and given the state of Laxus’s company, he would never have been able to save such money even in the next hundred years, so there is definitely something going on in Laxus’s life, and I need to know what it is. I need to know who Laxus’s sponsor is,” Linnie had thought deep and hard.There had to be someone in the shadows helpi

Nessy’s heart had been beating rapidly since she got the phone call. As for the rest of the day at work, she could barely concentrate at anything. She had thought that she had gone scot free with Gary’s death, but now, her mistake crept up right away, and she had no idea what to do. He had already asked Nessy to meet him up at a secluded bar at 7pm to have a discussion, and Nessy knew that if she didn’t show up for it, he would pull through with his threats, and that would land her in jail for life.Nessy did not want to go to jail at all.The time he gave was certainly far from her closing time, but Nessy knew that this was not a person that she could play around with.“Nessy, are you okay? You have seemed nervous the entire day,” Mr. Henry asked in observation when Nessy had got into his office at 6pm to obtain permission to leave. “Did something happen with the hamburgers?” he asked further.Nessy hadn’t thought that he would notice her mood; people rarely paid attention to her an

As Nessy left the bar, she became more devastated.This issue was getting more complicated as time went on, especially when she thought that it was over. If someone like Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid got a hang of it, she would not only be joyous; she would also not hesitate a second to use it against Laxus.Not that Nessy had anything for Laxus, contrary to what everyone thought or insinuated, and not that she also held a grudge against him for not remembering her now that he was famous and popular, and even though people might feel like she should use that to bring him down, Nessy could not do that. She just wasn’t that kind of person.First of all, Laxus never touched Gary. By the time she even called Laxus, Gary was already dead, so in a way, he was innocent, but what Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid wanted and what Jeff was insisting on even though he claimed to have seen everything unfold was that Laxus was even the one who struck Gary to death.That was the testimony that Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid was exp

“I don’t think I am interested,” Laxus said to Bridget without wasting time.The last thing he wanted was to be in anything that involved Abby Golden. “Have you been reading the blogs? Just one show, and they are already spreading false news about us,” Laxus said, tight-lipped. “I don’t want that,” he stated vehemently.Laxus, although an extremely busy man who barely even had time to blink his own eyes, was still abreast of what was going on around, including news, and as usual, gossips and fake news always spread like wildfire. When Laxus came across the gist about a brewing romance between him and Abby, it had left a sour taste in his mouth for hours. He knew that many men would be overjoyed to be around a woman of substance, grit, and power, but that wasn’t just Laxus, and try as much as he could, he could not just force an attraction or likeness that wasn’t there.“If you will just give me an opportunity to explain what I came up with, sir, you will see how beneficial it will be
