"It's time" After walking away from Carla, Armand had gone to wash his face. He had just returned to the garden when Vanessa walked up to him and notified him that it was time. He had a press conference to attend ."Oh boy" he muttered and followed Vanessa to where the media was. They tried crowding in on him and bombarding him with all their questions at once, but Vanessa wasn't having it.In a calm, composed and controlled voice, she said "Thank you all for your interest. I understand there are many questions, and Mr Armstrong will do his best to address them one at a time. Let's start with one question at a time, please"However, that plea fell on deaf ears, everyone had something to ask the CEO of D'Armstrong Empire."I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it would be helpful if we could take this one question at a time. That way, Mr Armstrong can provide you with accurate and thoughtful responses" Vanessa repeated and fortunately, the crowd seemed to understand her."To ensur

"He's about to leave the premises isn't he?" Vanessa asked. Her expression shifted from one of elation to a fleeting moment of disappointment. "He is," Armand answered."What do you intend to do? You've already had a really interesting evening.First, it was Jude and his family. Next, it was Carla. The press conference and now, King. Maybe you can talk to him tomorrow?" Vanessa suggested. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes widened with a tinge of longing. She wished for nothing more than to prolong this fleeting, stolen moment of intimacy and let it linger a little while longer."I think it's better I do it now. I'll let him know that I'm aware of where he is at every point in time. Also, I should inform him of his new occupation as well. And most importantly, he needs to formally meet his new boss." Armand replied"Looks like you still have a lot on your hand, so, I'll leave you to it" she said. With a soft sigh that carried a mixture of longing and understanding, Vaness

This was no ordinary morning for him, as he awakened with an overwhelming sense of happiness and contentment. The events of the previous night had unfolded as he had planned, leaving him with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.With a skip in his step, Armand swung his legs out of bed and planted them firmly on the floor.

"Don't just stand there, get the door for me" Armand instructed and King immediately complied.Afterwards, he got into the driver's seat, realizing that Armand had not given him the key, he turned back and requested for it."What're you doing?" Armand asked."Where's the car key?" King repeated."And I asked what you're doing," Armand said."If I'm to drive you to work, I need the key to the car" King stated."King, how do I say this politely?" Armand asked."Say what politely?" King inquired."That was a rhetorical question but since you want to know. I need you to please step down from this car, right now" Armand said."Why?" King asked, feeling confused "Am I not to drive you to work as well?" He inquired further."No, you are not!" Armand replied."So, I'm good enough to wash the car but not good enough to drive it?" King asked, his voice raised slightly."Actually, yes. Also, I do not trust you enough to allow you to drive me. Driving me is a privilege which you haven

"My bad, I meant Mr Armstrong" Carla quickly corrected herself, remembering what he had told her the previous night."May I sit?" She asked ."Feel free," Armand replied, gesturing towards the chair in front of him."When I informed my parents I would be here today, they asked me to extend their greetings. They wanted you to know how happy they were to see you last night and they regret not having the opportunity to speak to you" Carla said"How was your…" Carla wanted to make small talk but Armand just wasn't in the mood for it."What do you want, Carla? I need you to go straight to the point, I have important businesses I need to attend to" Armand stated."That's true. I'm sorry if it felt like I was wasting your time" Carla apologized..At that moment, she knew it would take more than dressing seductively and wearing nice perfume to interest Armand.The conversation was not going her way "This will be harder than I thought" she muttered."What was that? I didn't catch that

"Hey, are you ready to go have dinner with my parents?" Armand asked Vanessa. They were standing outside her house, he had come to pick her up."Yeah, I guess so. But I can't help feeling a little skeptical about it. I mean, I'm not officially your girlfriend, and meeting your parents in this setting feels like a big step." She replied."I understand how you feel, and I want you to know that I invited you because I really care about you." Armand said."I appreciate that, but it still feels a bit overwhelming. What if they expect more from me? I don't want to disappoint them or create any awkward situations." Vanessa said."Trust me, my parents are really understanding and open-minded.

"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 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.

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

His legs shifted back and forth, as if his excitement couldn't be contained within his frame.
