Kendrick's eyes observed her for some minutes, his dad was right, she had the company at heart. "I have increased every workers salary here by extra 10%" He said with firmly, when he turned to his father, he noticed the smile on his face. Unable to contain the happiness, Reginald smiled, her lips curved to her ears, then the settled onlookers clapped thunderously. Kendrick turned his eyes and inspected his wristwatch, it was already past 9 in the evening, he knew that they had to leave, so he turned and gestured to Evelyn."Can we go please? … I'll need to be at work tomorrow." But then he noticed Emily's sullen looks.She was observing them silently, her fun night had been disrupted by the conduct of a proud and arrogant lady." She thought within her. Kendrick bent to her slowly "Can we go tonight… I promise to take you around tomorrow." He said with a confident smile. "Pinky promise." Emily replied coldly pointing out her little finger. Kendrick smiled, pink was her favorite
Blossom shook her head gently, and he gave a loud sigh of relief.Peace Churchill stood up, her eyes looking up to the white POP ceiling, the bulbs dangled as she stared at it, as though trying to seize the lights."I have a plan!" She said loudly and everyone turned to her in anticipation. "What's the plan, hit me Peace.. hit it right here and now." Maverick exclaimed as she rushed to a chair and sank into it. "I will ensure Louis pins this pregnancy to him… He is always softhearted and I'm sure he still loves her." Peace said in a low tone.Maverick sighed loudly, and jumped from the chair. " I was thinking you want to talk about combining money to buy and extend grandfather's companies and here you're thinking of doing such a thing." He said as he flung his hands in the air. "Maverick,... Maverick!!... how many times have I told you to stop interrupting decisions in this house?" Mrs. Katherine Rogers asked, her face contorted."How would you do a thing as that mum? Are you not
Kendrick sat in his office early enough the next day. He had woken to a call from Mrs. Alex who had fixed an appointment with him, the day was cold and the weather seemed dull.He sat, his elbow resting on the polished office table as he thought of the replies he received from Inspector Thud concerning Sophia's whereabouts.What jolted his mind back to reality was the crackling heart sound of a woman conversing with his guard from outside the office.He could hear her say that she had an appointment with the Boss, and after showing the card to Xavier, he knocked before opening the door to her. "Come right in." Kendrick had said while raising his head to inspect who that was, Mrs. Alex greeted him with a blank stare in her eyes. "You're welcome, please… come sit down," Kendrick replied. "I had retired reaching you all through yesterday evening after I got a call that a man named Kendrick had signed for that witch to be released." She said, while she shifted the steelcase office ch
Immediately after Mrs. Alex had walked out of the office, Kendrick sent a call across to Sophia, he needed to ensure that she was fine. The call went through and Sophia's light voice came alive, Kendrick could hear the soft reverberation of her voice, he thought of asking her how she was fairing. But then he remembered, there was a more important question he needed to ask, "How did you get in touch with Eric Templar, that he had to leave you with bruises?" The silence that followed that question was palpable, Sophia took minutes to process her reply, then with a cracking voice, she replied coldly."I expected you to start by asking how I'm fairing, Kendrick." The call went on for some minutes and Sophia's reply, like a bomb ready to shatter Kendrick's heart."I couldn't resist him, … I think I really loved him." She said, Kendrick's eyes flickered, he listened carefully to ensure that he wasn't mistaking her words for another."And all he did was treat you the way he is doing r
"Check for the Dynamite's suppliers, I'll need to get across to them immediately!" Kendrick ordered as he stood up, leaving the office. ****************Laughter always rang out in the Rogers mansion, and no matter where the laughter came from, it bounced around the walls, all the rooms.Now arguments rose quickly and lingered around for days. Morning and night left them in turmoil, the dining table couldn't pull them together anymore as everyone decided to eat their meals in their rooms. Their faces always sparkled, but since the day Kendrick left that house, sullen looks took turns on each face. Peace Churchill kept making plans of pushing her daughter back to Kendrick, but daily she kept resisting, she couldn't stand the shame of getting back to him. This other day, the conversation heated above 100 degrees. "You better go back to that man, so you could get all the properties grandfather had kept for you too!" Peace Churchill said. "Can't you see that we're the ones losing?..
She turned it over, her eyes scanning the blank exterior, searching for any hint or clue. The man's smile seemed to grow wider, his eyes glinting with a knowing light as if he held a secret that was about to change everything. Louis stared at her mother read through the documents, and immediately, her eyes widened."A new house and a new car for my daughter?" An air of excitement radiated over her face.Louis quickly turned, her eyes sparkled with ecstasy."What?" She exclaimed."Yes, Louis… please check it out here… come see it for yourself." Peace said, handing the document to her. The sound of her voice pierced through the room, Maverick wondered at what it could be from behind the door. He wasn't getting it well, were they jubilation or screaming for help? He thought within himself before opening the door with force. Immediately he entered, his eyes settled on Louis' smiling face."Come on Maverick, I've just been given a new house and a car." She exclaimed rushing to hug h
She knocked on the door to Mrs. Katherine's room and opened gently. Her eyes scanned the sprawled-out bedroom, a king-sized bed placed in the middle of the room, that was where Old Rogers usually folded himself into whenever he called to advise them, then it turned to Katherine Rogers who was sitting on the chair close to the dressing mirror. "Is there a problem, dear?" Katherine asked. Peace Stumbled into the room, her eyes swollen and reddened."Yes… Yes, there's a problem, Mum." She said, her voice trailing off as she spoke. Katherine quickly dropped the comb she held in her hands and turned to her with a sharp gaze that seemed to piece through and read the contents of her heart."Come sit here, dear.. come." She called out, gesturing to Peace and she reluctantly walked towards her."Now tell me what is it?" She asked. After Peace explained what had happened some minutes ago with the unknown Bolton, Katherine's face flushed with disappointment."If that letter is authentic an
The day was drawing to an eventful close, and Kendrick had returned home, his nerves still reeling from the shockwave that had rocked his workplace. The echoes of the day's events still lingered, refusing to be silenced. "His company suspended? his contract terminated?"... Kendrick's thoughts seethed with disbelief as he stormed into the living room, dismissing the chorus of greetings from the guards outside with a curt nod, their words ricocheting off him like stray bullets.Just as he opened the door, a voice announced loudly, "Dad, here he is… he is back just on time!" It was Evelyn, she exclaimed as he walked into the room. Mr. Peterson's eyes raised gently, then settled on Kendrick with a blank stare. Kendrick greeting him as he turned towards the stairs, his voice deep and calm. "Kendrick!!... What's the message I received today about? … Huh… what's it about?" Peterson asked, his eyes locked onto Kendrick's who had halted and turned to him. "What exactly are you talking
