Steve picked up the remote control, turned on the projector, and navigated the menus. Soon, a picture of two similar energy drinks popped on the screen. Aside from the colors, it was so hard to differentiate between the two products. Steve had to zoom the picture before Sean could see it clearly. Yet, they all looked alike.“And do you know what the most miserable part is? The NovaCorp manufactured this canned energy drink in four different colors and ours is included. So the possibility of winning this particular case is very slim. When we compared the taste of each drink, they tasted the same! The exact same size of can was used, the label placement had no difference. Frankly speaking, if we lose this case, the conglomerate will be shaken in terms of finance. Billions of dollars will be used as compensation for NovaCorp, which is their expectations,”Steve muttered.Instantly, Sean arose from his chair and said, “Let’s go to the company. You need not to be sad. As long they remain gu
But Davidson Rogers had no blink of hope in his eyes.“We did check the CCTV cameras that were installed in and outside the distribution center, but came up with nothing because the robbers were all dressed in black hoodies, nose masks, and dark shades.” He sighed heavily. As a matter of fact, this was the first action he took when he arrived at the distribution center early that morning. He checked and rechecked the CCTV footage for anything, but his hope was crashed because the four hoodlums were of the same height, heavily clothed, showing no skin, and the color of their clothes was black. On the other hand, Sean and Steve were unsatisfied by his explanations. They believed they could still catch up with something. “Can we see the CCTV footage? I don't think we will miss anything. They must have made a mistake at a certain time,” Sean inquired. Davidson Rogers nodded at one of the men beside him. The man exited the conference room and returned a few minutes later with a laptop.
They reached their car and headed for Rectaxs company. During the drive, Steve suddenly asked Sean a question. “Do you know why I asked you not to allow his assistant to follow us?”Sean shook his head negatively. “No, why?”Steve gulped. “Davidson is not someone to be trusted. In as much as we try to blame SavorCorp for the attack, Davidson might turn out to be the masterplanner.”Sean, who was staring ahead, looked at him immediately. He couldn't believe Steve would say such a thing. To him, Davidson Rogers didn't look like someone who would deceive others. He looked like a well behaved man.“What, Steve? How could you say that? Davidson Rogers would never do such a thing. I fully believe that SavorCorp company committed the crime. If Davidson carried out the act, he would be manipulating himself. You know that, right?” Sean tried to defend the man he had only met for less than a hour. Upon hearing Sean's statements, Steve smiled pitifully. He quickly realized that his master was
In a minute, she was able to find lists of transactions that took place in the company for the past two months. “I have seen them. Here they are. These are the names of the customers who bought wristwatches for two months.” Felicia turned the computer to Sean and Steve. One after the other, they looked down the names of the customers who transacted on the screen. All of a sudden, Sean saw a name that looked very familiar.“Isn’t that Davidson Rogers? What is his name doing here?” Sean exclaimed, attracting Steve to look at the screen a little closer. Indeed, it was Davidson Rogers's name! It was shocking news to everybody. “Felicia, did you know anything about this?” Sean asked the woman, who was also amazed by this revelation. She looked at Sean like he had grown two heads for asking such a ridiculous question. How would she know? Would she have sat down to read each transaction slip every single day? She had no time for this.“I didn't know either. Due to my tight schedule, I wasn
Sean and Steve later left Snacksation company for the Arnault Estate since the day was far gone. When they stepped into the mansion, they met the Chairwoman discussing with Adams Arnault, her fourth grandson. Their eyes locked when they heard approaching footsteps. The Chairwoman turned away from Adam to Sean and Steve standing just behind the settee. “Welcome home, Sean. Come and have your seat, and you too, Steve.” She directed her right hand to the two empty settees in front of her. The duo sat down obediently, but Adams arose and requested to leave the room immediately. The Chairwoman agreed, and he walked away while the others watched him till he was out of their sight. “Adams came to see you earlier this morning, but I told him of your absence. I thought he had left, but I am shocked to have met him with you. Did he really wait until you returned?” Steve asked. The Chairwoman chuckled. “Of course not. While I was in the car, I saw him strolling round the estate with Brandon,
A sunny Thursday was just another time for Sean Zachary to follow his daily routine; which was going for his lectures at Quet College and rushing down to his workplace, named Munchies Café. A few minutes after closing from school, he arrived at the eatery and walked right inside, sighting some customers scattered across the hall and conversing with their partners. “This is a normal thing,” He muttered, and headed towards the large kitchen where the meals were being prepared for their potential customers. He was about to take another step when one of his coworkers suddenly appeared, startling him. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Sean. Where have you been? Some people have been looking for you!” Mason declared in a high-pitched voice. Unlike Sean who was a part-time worker at the café, Mason worked day and night, forfeiting his education. According to him, he needed to save some money before going into college. He had so many responsibilities to take care of, so, school was the last th
“Come with me, Sean Zachary, to my residence where you will be honored as the new overseer of Globalsphere Conglomerate.” A smile crept up on her face after the sudden and unexpected announcement. All the customers seated in the eatery exclaimed in bewilderment. The Chairwoman had just asked a waiter to become the new head of a powerful conglomerate in Seattle City! What was she thinking? Didn't she have many grandsons?Sean, on the other hand, chuckled. Those statements sounded like jokes to his ears. What did she say he would become? A new head of Globalsphere conglomerate? What a fantasy! That kind of fantasy that would only happen in dreams. Therefore, his following response came as a question that was filled with extreme doubt. “Excuse me, ma'am. Are you sure of what you're saying? I am not related to you anyway. As a matter of fact, I am just a waiter here. Why do you need me?” He deliberately didn't make mention of her last sentence. He would have sworn that the Chairwoman ha
The two foolish men who thought it would surely be one of them brightened their faces until their grandmother beckoned the mysterious young man standing at their backs. It was only then they got full recognition of him.He was a young man dressed in a faded purple T-shirt and trousers. His brown hair, although neatly curled, lacked the glow it ought to have had. His grey eyes, pointed nose, and V-shaped face. Ultimately, he was a fine man, but that was the least of their worries.“Don’t get it twisted. How is it possible for me to make you head of a great conglomerate when I just caught you doing an abnormal act? If it were so, the conglomerate wouldn't last a month in your hands. Therefore, this man here will be the new head. Why am I telling you this?” The Chairwoman Elizabeth, suddenly added and quickly turned to her right-hand man, Steve, and snapped her fingers, laying down orders.“Take the young man to the designated apartment to be dressed appropriately for the upcoming cerem
