"Let me get this straight King's debt cannot be repaid at once. His father is aware of his debts and he is also aware that King has been the one collecting money from the company, correct?" Vanessa asked."Yes," Tom answered."If that's the case, why is he lying to his staff? What does he hope to achieve?" Vanessa asked."It's simple. He's owing workers and he doesn't want to pay. Since the company is losing funds and not making enough to cover for it, he doesn't want to release more money" Tom answered."Even to workers who have labored and earned their pay?" Vanessa asked, she was baffled."Even to workers who have earned their pay," Tom said."That's completely wrong and unfair. Employees deserve to be paid for their work, and it's the responsibility of Mr Harald to ensure that happens" Vanessa said."Absolutely. When someone takes up a job, they enter into an agreement with their employer. They provide their skills, time, and effort in exchange for a fair wage. Denying
"All right Donald, I'll call you when I'm done" Vanessa said to Donald and got down from the car.She paused and looked at the signboard in front of her "Pen&Pen Limited" it read.Getting the names of those Harald MacMatthew owed wasn't as difficult as they had imagined, with just a phone call to Nina, Vanessa had gotten the names in less than an hour.So here she was, her first stop for the day, hopefully, she would be able to play her part perfectly.Vanessa exuded an air of professionalism and confidence as she strode into the building, dressed impeccably in a corporate attire. Her tailored charcoal gray pantsuit accentuated her strong and elegant figure, conveying a sense of power and authority. The jacket fitted her perfectly, hugging her shoulders and emphasizing her poise.Beneath the jacket, Vanessa wore a crisp white button-up blouse, neatly tucked into her pants, exhibiting a sense of classic refinement. The fabric drapes smoothly, highlighting her attention to detail a
Vanessa felt calm. She sat quietly in Harald MacMatthew's office awaiting his arrival.He was late and she did not appreciate that. She had a schedule to keep up with .However, she took her time to look around. Despite the number of years she had worked in MacMatthew corporation, she had only been inside Harald's office a few times.She decided to give herself a tour of the office. Looking out the window, Vanessa noticed that It offered an impressive view of the surrounding area.It was also spacious and provided ample room for the desk, seating areas for meetings and discussions, and bookshelves, cabinets and display cases.The centerpiece of Harald's office is a large and luxurious desk, made of fine polished metal. The desk is well-organized, featuring a laptop, a telephone, and other essential office supplies. It also had a small sign indicating Harald's position.Vanessa also took note of the decor and personal touches. There was artwork, sculptures, and framed photogr
Harald made the smart decision. "Are they all signed?" Vanessa asked, examining the documents in her hand."Yes, they are" Harald replied, the anger he was feeling was evident in his voice."All right then, I'll take them back with me so that my boss can sign them, we'll send them back to you as soon as we can. Do enjoy the rest of your day" Vanessa said…"I come bearing good news!" Vanessa announced dramatically the moment she walked into Armand's office."I can tell" Armand replied, he then got up from his seat to give Vanessa a hug. Even though it wasn't official yet, things had changed a lot in their relationship."How're you?" Armand asked, still holding her by the waist."I'm okay. I had a really productive day" Vanessa replied."Tell me all about it," Armand replied, leading her to a seat."I told Harald our proposal, at first he was strong headed but after I made it clear our proposal was the best he could get, he accepted without hesitation" Vanessa said."With
Vanessa couldn't help but admire the settings of the boardroom. They had certainly made changes since the last time she was there.It was the start of a new week and a meeting was organized to introduce the new shareholders of the company, all the heads of each department were present as well as the former shareholders.Vanessa noticed she still had a few minutes before the meeting started so she stood outside to appreciate the boardroom.The boardroom was rectangular in shape and just like other boardrooms, there was a long table at its center. The table was clearly made of high-quality wood and was large enough to accommodate all the board members and executives attending the meeting. The table is surrounded by comfortable, cushioned chairs for participants.The room was well-lit with a combination of natural light and artificial lighting. Large windows adorned the walls, allowing ample daylight to filter in. Overhead lighting fixtures provided additional illumination. The ligh
Everyone's attention was drawn to Vanessa. "What are you talking about?" Harald asked Vanessa, his voice sounding different."We did pay up your debt, most of it" Vanessa answered"What exactly do you mean by most of it?" Harald asked."Mr Grey here specifically requested that not all of the money you owed him be paid in cash, and we obliged" Vanessa explained."What exactly does that mean?" Harald asked.Vanessa paused and took in a deep breath "We paid Mr Grey eighty percent of what you owe him, the Armstrong empire agreed to give him twenty percent shares in MacMatthew Corp to cover up your debt" "However" she continued "it is left for Mr Corban Grey to decide who he intends to collect the twenty percent shares from"For the first time since the day started, Harald MacMatthew did not have anything to say, he was left utterly speechless at Vanessa's revelation.Harald felt cheated, he was taken aback and felt a sense of disbelief upon realizing that he had fallen victim t
In the wealthy yet humble household of Mr. Armstrong, the morning dawns with a sense of tranquility and warmth that permeates the air. The sun's gentle rays find their way through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow upon the tastefully decorated bedroom.The master suite, adorned with exquisite furniture and delicate artwork, exudes an understated elegance that reflects the refined taste of the occupants.As the clock strikes seven, the soft patter of footsteps can be heard emanating from the corridor, as the patriarch, Mr. Armstrong, dressed in a tailored silk robe, begins his daily routine. With an air of grace and purpose, he walks towards the study, where he immerses himself in a world of books and contemplation .Meanwhile, Mrs. Armstrong prepares a light breakfast in the well-appointed kitchen. They had given the chef the weekend off and decided to have some family time.The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafts through the air, mingling with the aroma of pancakes and sea
"Oh, darling, isn't it wonderful to be retired and enjoying this serene environment together?" Mrs. Armstrong asked her husband."Dear, you do remember that we've been retired for over a year now, right?" He asked in reply."I know but being in this dream home of ours, and the idea of moving in here soon feels like a second retirement, don't you feel it too?" Mrs. Armstrong asked."Now that you put it that way, I understand you," he replied."So tell me, isn't it wonderful to be retired and enjoying this serene environment?" Mrs. Armstrong asked, repeating her earlier question."Absolutely, my love. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our days. The peacefulness of this place brings so much joy to my heart" Mr. Armstrong answered."It truly does. Remember all those years when we were caught up in the hustle and bustle of our careers?" Mrs. Armstrong asked, taking a walk down memory lane. "Now, we have all the time in the world to appreciate the beauty around us" Mrs.
