Sophia did not notice Kendrick from the many faces that filled the inn, she moved straight to the office. To Kendrick, it's been a long time since he met her, she looked more beautiful and appealing but something was different, she also had a set of new guards.“Maybe I'll stop by her office later before I leave” He muttered to himself as they drank.Later that day after they had finished with the meeting, Thud advised Kendrick to be on guard at all times.“We can add some policemen to your entourage.” He said Kendrick smiled, his voice lacking panic. “That wouldn't be necessary.” He said.Thud shrugged, his lips curled at the edge. “You really trust your men? Don't you?”Kendrick turned with a piercing stare, “What’s that question for?” He asked, his voice firm. “You don't trust them?”Thud shook his head firmly, his voice laced with skepticism. “No!! I don't trust a soul, Sir.”He shook hands with Kendrick as they stood up to leave. Knox hurried to the direction where the server wa
When Kendrick was out of the Towers, he drove straight to the exclusive touch of his majestic company.He has been off work, allowing the management of the office to Sophia Powell.Immediately his car pulled up at the CEO's park zone, the guards at work hurried to duty, the air thickened with activity."The CEO is here, you all better get to work!" The messenger announced, his voice sounding firm.Some minutes later, the door flung open and Kendrick walked into the office space, his eyes scanning the faces of all the workers that had their heads buried on the laptops that sat in front of them."You're welcome, Boss." A lady greeted him. It was the accountant, Precious Beulah.Kendrick turned to her, "Thank you… submit the documents of the company's expenditures in the last two months at my desk." He said.Bewildered, Precious stuttered, "It wasn't prepared yet, sir… I had submitted a draft copy to the manager." "Bring all that's ready, and do well to send the soft copies to my of
The day drew to an eventful close and Kendrick left work, he had averted the expenses made at office, and all that was in his mind was to change the MDs changing them to separate branches. He got out of his office to meet Precious sitting at her desk, her fingers busy on the keyboard. Surprised, Kendrick thought, "she should have closed for the day. Why was she at work till that hour?" When he got to her desk, she turned to him as though frightened by his sight. "Why are you not closed for the day?" Miss. Precious turned her head away, then again at Kendrick. "I'm not done with my target for the day, boss" Kendrick inspected his wrist, it was getting away, then again at Kendrick. "I'm not done with my target for the day, Boss" Kendrick inspected his wrist, it was getting late and she was almost the only worker left apart from the securities outside. "This is past seven, I even stayed a little longer while going through the files you sent" Like it was her first time staying
When she got outside, Kendrick returned to his bed, his mind racing with the thoughts of what to in order to get all the information he needs from her, “I’ll have to get her close to myself, with that she would feel comfortable and I will get all I need to get.” Kendrick whispered to himself. Some minutes later, he remembers all he had to do at work that morning, so he hurried into the bathroom, and emerged with a newfound zeal to carry out the days activities.‘Knock knock.” A frail squeak of the door made Kendrick stutter. “When did you start serving breakfast, Eve?’ Kendrick asked. Evelyn smiled as she walked into the room to drop the try of coffee she held on the table. She turned, “Didn’t I tell you that I’ll have to see a lot of things as long as that devil is in this house?’Kendrick chuckled, “you don’t mean it, do you?’ He asked, his brows furrowed at the edge. “Of course, brother…. Or do you think that I am joking about this? She might even come with intentions of poisoni
Before Kendrick was done and ready to get to work, he could see a car drive into the compound, he observed it through his window. When he came downstairs, a guard hurried to him, "Boss, the woman who came with the other lady is here" he announced. "Which woman and which lady are you talking about?" Kendrick asked, his blue sounding curious. "Mrs. Peace." He replied. Kendrick's eyes flickered, "what does she want? Maybe she is here to see her daughter and not me" he replied, hurrying pass the guard. "Take this bag, go inform Xavier to get prepared that I'll be going out in a moment" "Okay, sir" the guard lowered his head turning away. When he opened the door and Stepped outside, Peace Churchill bumped into him, making the bag slip from his hands. Once she raised her head, her eyes reddened, "Are you saying that you were blind?" She barked. The guard glared, "is that how you talk to people?" He asked. "Are you nuts? Where is the idiot of a man or a woman that touched my d
“I will be right back Louis.’ Peace said as she hurried out to her car.“I hope to have you back here, mum… please be fine, ensure that you stop by the clinic and dress those bruises.” Louis said.“No problem dear.’ Peace replied as she hurried to her car and zoomed out of the house.When she was out, Louis walked into the house using the back door. She expected to see Mr. Peterson come out to ask what happened to her, but he didn’t. He was busy talking on the phone with his daughter, Emily.*******************When Peace Churchill had arrived at the police station, her lips dropped in shock to see Kendrick sitting discussing conveniently with the Police superintendent. This wasn't what she was expecting… she thought. She was expecting to see Kendrick behind bars or sit on the long bench with a handcuff in hand.“Welcome ma’am.” The officer greeted as he turned to meet her stern look.“You called me to get to the station fast… whats the issue, and why is he leaning on the chair like t
“That is not a problem….i can handle that.” Kendrick said, turning to Peace Churchill. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed a number, it was Evelyn’s, her voice blared from the speaker. “Hello, Brother. How is it going? What has that witch of a woman said?’“Hello, yes dear, I want you to ensure that the bruises on her elbow is treated immediately she arrives at your hospital.”Peace hissed, ‘it can’t be...It can never happen. I will decide who treats me, and the person will give an amount just like you called your company!” She yelled, bringing out her phone to dial a number, it was the Rogers family doctor, Doc. Stout.“Hello Doc, I am wounded, I’m in pains” she cried out.“Take it easy, ma… What happened? Was it an accident? How severe is it? Can you come to the hospital right now?” Doc. Stout asked. His words carrying the urgency of the situation.“It’s bruises on my elbow, and I am bleeding...Please how much are you going to charge for that? A careless, and useless man wound
Back in Kendrick’s office, Maverick flanked by Mrs, Katherine hurries in, “This company belonged to your grand father, I wonder why none of you decided to work when he was yet alive”Maverick followed behind, he knew that Katherine was a dramatic woman, so he prayed they shouldn't meet Kendrick at the office since he was far aware that he was the one who purchased the company from Leonard.“This way… I will be handing you to the new CEO, once he or she gets to know that my late husband owned this company, then they'll be no room for excuses.” Katherine said as she stepped out of the elevator.Mavericks heart kept heaving as he held a white file jacket close to his heart, his eyes scanning the environment.“I should have some workers here that still remembers me.” Katherine said, turning her head around as though searching for acquaintances from the workers that moved up and down.Some minutes later, they walked into a security guard that called out to them, “Are you looking for someon
