The biggest mistake Laxus realized he had made on that Monday morning was publicly announcing recruitment into the company.It was the first time that Laxus would ever be in charge of hiring staff, and because he wanted to work with the absolute best, he had to handle the interviews himself. Laxus knew the advantage of having dedicated, hardworking, intelligent, and brilliant staff members, and being that this was a new company, he did not want to make any mistakes.“Maybe I should have just taken Abby’s offer,” Laxus said to himself as he entered his office.When he was driven into his company in his fleet of convoy, his premises had been filled to the brim with candidates who wanted to secure a job with the biggest Distillery Company ever established, so much so that Laxus had to get in through the back of the company. Bowman sure knew what he was doing when he erected the building, because unlike other companies, the back door for this company was an executive private entrance or e

“How is it going?” Bowman asked Laxus as he served Laxus his favorite wine in his bar in his mansion.“This week has been the craziest week of my life,” Laxus said, accepting the wine and downing it in one swoop.He hadn’t tasted wine at all the entire week, not to talk of something as good as expensive as what he was having now. He arrived at the company early to resume interviews of staff members and closed later at night. Laxus even hardly had time to eat. The only time he had to eat was dinnertime, and the chef whom Bowman had stationed in his new mansion did her job perfectly well. She always ensured that Laxus had dinner before going to bed otherwise Laxus would have skipped dinner as well. No matter how early she tried to wake up to fix breakfast, Laxus was always earlier. “You look drained already,” Bowman said, chuckling. “Have you even had time to shave? I can see your stubbles,” Bowman observed, and he was not jesting around.Laxus used his hand to touch his face, and he r

Luther sat in his office and tried to work on some files. He did not have an in-depth knowledge of them, and as he tried to get a hang of it, he realized that they were very difficult.“Damn, these stuffs never get easy no matter how hard I try,” Luther said in frustration. “How does anyone ever get them right? I have been on this since morning, and still, no result,” Luther grumbled angrily.He really hated to be in the company. He would prefer his secret passion to wearing a fancy suit and wasting days in the company when he did not understand shit, but then again, his father would kill him if he knew that after all these years, Luther was still dumb to whatever was going on in the company. Luther was beginning to have a headache just trying to get a hang of it.“No, that’s enough for one day. I obviously cannot do this, and there is no point trying to,” Luther said to himself. Then he did what he always did; he picked up his landline and dialed the secretary’s number assigned to hi

Linnie waited patiently in the room that she had brought Nessy in twice now, and she was about to get it done for the third time.She couldn’t wait until the usual time when she accosted Nessy, because she needed to be home, so she had texted Detective George to meet her up.“I am tied up with work at the moment, ma’am,” Detective George had grumbled, but Linnie had gotten pissed off the excuse instead.She was Linnie Kinkaid; fearless, ruthless, determined, and always getting whatever the heck she wanted, and she expected everyone to run to do her bidding the moment she called. The only people that seemed to make things difficult for her were Darwin and Luther, but she was also working her way around that.Which was why she was doing this anyway.“Get your ass here this very minute, Detective George, and you are not going to keep me waiting,” Linnie had commanded and ended the call.She knew that Detective George would have no choice but to forsake whatever it was that was keeping hi

Bowman was having a hard time sleeping, especially after his call with Laxus.“That young man is still under the whims of Darwin,” Bowman said to himself.He was pissed off. All his attempts to get Laxus to become as fearless and ruthless as every businessman should be were proving abortive. He needed Laxus to know that there was no way he could climb the ladder of success in the world without making enemies, and deep down, Bowman wanted Laxus to begin to see Darwin as both an enemy and a competitor.At least that way, he could be rest assured that Darwin’s tactics towards Laxus would not be effective. If Laxus continued this way, Darwin might be able to make him hide away, and that would be Bowman’s greatest regret, especially with how far he had invested in Laxus.Many years ago…Bowman gave the response he did to Laxus because he did not make to say the exact words that would put Laxus on the edge. He had tried it twice before now, and it never worked. The only reason he had been a
