"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I finally have the opportunity to meet you like this, Armand, I'm sorry, Mr. Armstrong! Thank you so much for taking the time to see me." Carla said, bursting with excitement once they were seated in a quiet corner of the coffee shop."Well, I must admit, I wasn't quite sure about this meeting at first, but your persistence and enthusiasm won me over. So, what's all the excitement about? Tell me, how have you been and what have you been up to?" Armand asked, smiling politely."Armand, you won't believe it!" Carla said, beaming."I've been working tirelessly on a project that I truly believe will revolutionize the way people communicate. It's a new mobile application that connects individuals through shared interests and hobbies. I've poured my heart and soul into it, and I would love to share my vision with you." She said,"A mobile application, you say? Well, I must say, I'm quite intrigued. Please, go ahead and tell me more." Armand said, acting

Maintaining a composed and professional demeanor, Armand maintained eye contact with Carla, nodding slightly to acknowledge that he has heard the suggestion.Internally, Armand's mind began to assess the feasibility and practicality of the idea. And his mind told him what he already knew. Implementing such a suggestion would be impractical, unattainable, and incompatible.Despite this realization, Armand aimed to handle the situation diplomatically.Maintaining a calm and collected presence, Armand carefully chose his words, aiming to address Carla's suggestion tactfully."Miss Smith, expanding into new markets can indeed be a growth opportunity, but it is crucial to approach it strategically and realistically. Entering new markets requires careful planning, market analysis, building distribution networks, and investing in marketing and promotional activities. It takes time to establish a presence and gain a significant market share. Rapid expansion can also be financially risky i

"Vanessa? What has Vanessa got to do with anything?" Armand asked.Carla, with a sly smile, leaned in and asked, "Armand, tell me honestly, was it because of your representative that you rejected me? Does she fulfill your desires better than I ever could?"Armand, taken aback by the audacity of her question, couldn't help but chuckle softly. He looked directly into her eyes, his gaze unwavering. "No, Carla," he replied firmly. "It had nothing to do with my representative."Carla's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "Then why, Armand? Why did you turn away from me when I tried to seduce you just now? Was it because I didn't treat you well during our marriage?"Armand sighed, his voice tinged with a mix of sadness and frustration. "I'm surprised you're even asking me that question, but yes, Carla, it was precisely that. The way you treated me when we were married, the constant belittling and disrespect, made me realize how toxic our relationshi

"Carla, can I call you back?" Armand asked and without waiting for a reply, he hung up."Vanessa, you want me to go to the Charles Smith company? The last time I was there, I caught my wife with another man. My father in-law humiliated me in front of his cheating daughter and her lover. Also, Carla's secretary insulted me." Armand said."Yes Armand, I want you to go back there. Things have changed. They need your help now." Vanessa explained."If you say so." Picking up the phone, Armand called Carla again. "Carla," Armand's voice quivered with a mixture of fake regret and determination. "I owe you an apology. I'm sorry for abruptly ending our conversation earlier."There was a pause on the other end, a hesitant silence that seemed to stretch into eternity. Finally, Carla's voice emerged, "I appreciate your apology."Armand took a moment to gather his thoughts, aware that his next words held the power to shape the course of their interaction."Carla, I've been thinking about

Monday arrived soon. As the morning sun kissed the horizon, casting its warm, golden glow upon the world, Armand stood in front of his home, a sense of contentment and nostalgia washing over him. Dressed in his neatly pressed work attire, he couldn't help but smile as he reminisced about the beautiful weekend he had spent with Vanessa.The weekend had been a blissful escape from the hectic demands of their daily lives.With a dreamy look in his eyes, he absently grabbed his car keys and began to stroll towards the garage. Armand's heart swelled with affection as he replayed the moments they had spent exchanging playful banter as they discovered hidden nooks and crannies.His steps grew lighter as he recalled the joyous moments they had shared around. Armand marveled at the way Vanessa's eyes sparkled like the brightest constellations in the night sky, a reflection of the love and happiness they both felt.Reaching the garage, he paused to lean against the doorframe, his m

It was the start of a new day. The sun appeared as a radiant orb. As it rose higher, it brought a sense of renewal and energy to the start of the day.Armand stood at his garage's doorway. He smelled the familiar, intoxicating blend of rich, earthy undertones, mingling with notes of leather, fuel, and a hint of polished metal. But today felt strange. He felt both excited and worried.He hadn't driven himself in a long while. King, who had turned out to be his ever-reliable driver, had been the one behind the wheel for countless journeys. King's expert hands guided the car on the roads with such accuracy that Armand was used to it. When King drove, the car felt like a part of him, smoothly moving through traffic like a well-practiced dance.But today was the day of the interview and Armand had granted King the day off. Armand knew this was his chance to reclaim the driver's seat, to rekindle the sensation of control that had slowly faded in his absence.With a deep breath, Ar

"Tomorrow will arrive soon." Those were Vanessa's words the previous day after Armand had gotten off the phone with Charles.Indeed, tomorrow did arrive soon. Armand decided to arrive at the first loan company, Gifted hands, before Charles and Carla.He was waiting at the gate for them when they both arrived, looking at Carla, he could clearly tell she had dressed to impress him.She had on a well-fitted, tailored blazer and pencil skirt in a deep, rich red color.The blazer had a slightly low-cut V-neckline, revealing just a hint of skin, while maintaining a sophisticated silhouette. She paired it with tasteful heels, minimalistic jewelry, and subtle makeup. As they got closer, Armand broke into a fake smile."Armand, we can't thank you enough," Carla said, her voice a mixture of gratitude and amazement. She extended her arms for a hug, instead of reciprocating, Armand shook her hand instead.Charles's eyes shimmered with appreciation as he shook Armand's hand firmly. "Arm

Lily's eyes widened, caught off guard by the outburst. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she stammered an apology, her voice trembling. "I-I'm so sorry, ma'am."Unmoved by the apology, Carla's annoyance only seemed to deepen. She hissed under her breath, shooting a disdainful glance towards the still flustered Lily. Without another word, she pivoted on her heels, her designer shoes clicking against the floor, and strode away.Armand couldn't help but be amazed by the scene which had just unfolded, it looked like Carla was never going to change, she still looked down on those not on the social status as her, soon, she would have a taste of her own medicine.As Armand watched her walk toward him, he could bet that the dress she had on wasn't the same one she had worn to work in the morning.Crafted from a fabric that shimmers with an iridescent grace, the dress molded itself to the contours of Carla's body, leaving just enough to the imagination.Its neckline was a careful

"Vincent Askellan?" Armand yelled.They were sitting inside Armand's car in the parking lot at D'premium branch.Aaron had arrived at work earlier than normal and he had called Vanessa and Armand to fill them in as usual."I can't believe it! Vanessa exclaimed."It all makes sense now." Armand mused. His eyes widened, pupils dilating as the pieces of the puzzle finally clicked into place. His brows furrowed, and a slow, subtle grin tugged at the corners of his lips. It was the expression of revelation, a mix of surprise and understanding, etched across his face like the first light of dawn breaking through the darkness."You know what? Things just got better." Armand said after a while."Everything ends today." Vanessa said."Everything ends today." Armand repeated in a lower tone."Here," Vanessa said, handing over the bag which contained the remaining two wristwatches to Aaron. "Take it to them and let them lead you to Vincent, text us the address immediately you can, okay?"

"Aaron, that suggestion of yours in the meeting was brilliant," Alan commended when they got to where Aaron, Kelly and Sam were standing.Sam concurred by nodding appreciatively and Winner chimed in with praises for Aaron.Alan then said, "Well, I must say, our suggestions were good too. Mr Black just needs to think outside of the box to see it," a hint of mischief in his eyes.Ben was able to stifle his laugh when he heard that statement, Kelly on the other hand couldn't help the smirk that formed on her face. Curiosity flickered in Alan's gaze as he turned to Kelly. "Got something to add?" he inquired. Kelly, however, simply brushed off the question, choosing to ignore him.Sensing a hint of tension, Ben interjected with a diplomatic suggestion. "How about we all put our creative minds together over lunch? We can continue brainstorming in a more relaxed setting.""Great idea." Kelly said, walking away with the others behind her.…When they entered the cafeteria, Kelly opte

Aaron strolled into the company. He was just about to enter his work area when he was stopped by Mr Black."Good morning Sir." Aaron said. However, he got no response."I completed Janet's task yesterday. You can go and confirm if you'd like. Also, I know the incident yesterday must have painted me in a bad light, but I want to assure you, that is not who I am. It was an accident, I am not clumsy and what happened yesterday will never repeat itself again."Mr Black just kept on staring at him, so he asked "Can I go now?" He didn't feel comfortable under the manager's intense scrutinizing gaze."Aaron, what are you really doing here?" Mr Black finally asked."I beg your pardon?" Aaron replied."I said, what are you really doing here?" The manager asked again.Aaron's palms grew clammy as his manager's piercing gaze bore into him. The air seemed to thicken as he fumbled for words, anxiety tightening his throat. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, betraying the composed facade

Aaron was tired. He never knew packaging wristwatches could be that stressful.Aaron's eyes, which had been vibrant and full of life just that morning, now held the heavy burden of exhaustion. Deep, dark circles etched beneath them, telling a tale of his need to sleep and his restlessness. Shoulders slouched, as if carrying the weight of the world, Aaron moved with a sluggish rhythm, each step echoing the struggle against the invisible forces pulling him down.He was thirsty and decided to get water. And coffee as well, to help him stay awake for the remaining one hour before his closing time for the day.He had gotten his drinks and was on his way back when the least thing he was expecting happened.His mind was consumed by the need to finish his packaging before closing hours, he rounded a corner only to collide with a lady adorned with vibrant red hair who had been walking too fast. The collision unfolded in an unfortunate symphony of mishap. The contents in Aaron's hands,

Aaron and Gloz walked silently behind the officer. Aaron was calm because he knew who the visitor was. On the other hand, Gloz felt confused. Who would want to visit him here? It could not be his siblings, could it? He asked internally, but quickly dismissed that thought. He didn't want to get his hopes high.Just as they arrived at the door of the visitor's room, the officer who was leading them, Officer Daniels gestured for Aaron and Gloz to go in. The heavy metallic clang of the cell door echoed behind them as they entered the small room. Gloz's eyes darted nervously, taking in the cold atmosphere."Alright, Gloz, you've got 15 minutes with your visitor. Make it count," Officer Daniels said, his tone gruff but not unkind. He shot a stern glance at Gloz, who stood by, a silent spectator to the scene.Aaron nodded with gratitude in his eyes. Gloz shifted uncomfortably, aware of the limited time allowed for this interaction with his yet to be seen visitor."Remember, Gloz, Keep it

"But how do we connect it to him?" Mrs. Armstrong asked."I don't know yet, but we'll figure it out." Armand answered."What about the press?" Vanessa inquired."The press?" Armand asked."Yes," she began tentatively, "how do you plan to deal with the press?"Armand looked up, his gaze meeting Vanessa's concerned eyes. Taking a deep breath, he leaned forward and clasped his hands together. "Vanessa, I've been careful about who knows the truth. As of now, only my mother, the attending doctors, the police and I are aware that my father has been shot.""You've notified the police?" Vanessa asked."Yes, I did that not long after we got here." Armand answered.Vanessa nodded, still anxious. "But what if someone from the hospital talks? These situations have a way of leaking, Armand."Armand's voice grew more confident. "I've spoken with the doctors and the hospital staff. They're bound by strict confidentiality. They won't disclose anything to anybody, especially not to the press.

Mrs. Armstrong stepped gracefully into the living room dressed in a floor length navy blue evening dress with delicate lace embroidery exuded a refined charm. The off-shoulder neckline added a touch of sophistication, while the subtle train trailed behind her, leaving a trail of whispered admiration in her wake. Completing the ensemble, she wore a pair of diamond drop earrings that caught the light with every step, enhancing her regal appearance.Beside her stood Mr. Armstrong. He wore a tailored black tuxedo that fit him like a glove. A white dress shirt with a black bowtie provided a striking contrast, while his patent leather shoes gleamed beneath the dance floor's shimmering lights. The glint of his cufflinks matched the twinkle in his eyes.Armand chose a modern yet timeless look, donning a charcoal gray three piece suit that showcased elegance. The suit jacket, slightly tailored, complemented his build, while the crisp white dress shirt underneath emphasized his attention to d

Armand raised his head and followed Vanessa's gaze to the gate of the beach house. A swarm of reporters had gathered, each one armed with cameras and microphones, jostling for position to capture the unfolding scene. They were like a pack of hungry wolves waiting for their prey.Vanessa turned to Armand, her expression a mix of frustration and exasperation. "Can you believe this? We can't even get a moment of peace here!"Armand sighed and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "I see them. We'll have to deal with it somehow."Vanessa urged Armand to just drive in and ignore the reporters, but he shook his head. "If I do that, they might press themselves into the car, and someone could get hurt."A determined look crossed Armand's face as he made up his mind. "I'll grant them an interview. That might satisfy their curiosity and get them to back off."As they approached the gate, Armand rolled down the window, and a cacophony of questions and camera clicks greeted them. He plas

"I'm fine." King replied, grinning widely.He stood in front of the car, his body swaying slightly from side to side as if caught in an invisible breeze. His shoulders twitched with energy. His legs shifted back and forth, as if his excitement couldn't be contained within his frame. King's facial expressions danced between euphoria and bewilderment, his eyebrows arching up and down rapidly. "Are you sure about that?" Armand asked, looking skeptical."One hundred percent,"King answered."What's with the outfit?" Vanessa inquired, looking at King from his head to his toe.King was dressed in a meticulously tailored suit that exuded an air of sophistication. It was a deep shade of charcoal gray. His shoes were obviously crafted from one of the finest leather, and was a testament to his attention to detail."I went to the company where I had gone for an interview last week." King said."What did they say? Did you get the job?" Armand asked."I did!" King exclaimed."Congra
