Armand continued to gaze at Mr. Peter, his eyes scrutinizing the man's features. He noticed the tightness around Peter's eyes, the slight furrowing of his brow, and the pursing of his lips. These subtle cues told Armand that, despite Peter's formal greeting, he was not a fan of his.Despite Peter's attempts to appear neutral, Armand's keen observation skills picked up on the subtle tells that revealed his true feelings.Mr. Peter greeted Armand again, his voice firm but polite. "Good morning, Mr. Armstrong."Armand raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly sarcastic. "I heard you the first time, Peter. There is no need to repeat yourself."Mr. Peter's expression remained calm, but Armand could tell it was a facade. The tension in his eyes and the tightness in his smile betrayed his true emotions.Armand leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving Peter's face. "I noticed you were nowhere to be found when Aaron was being arrested yesterday. Quite convenient, don't you think?"Mr. Peter

Armand's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "What exactly are you referring to? What happened yesterday that you don't agree with?"The first man stepped forward again, his voice firm. "We don't agree with the way Aaron was treated. He was arrested and taken away like a criminal. We think it was unfair."Armand's expression turned intrigued, "Unfair?" he repeated, his tone encouraging them to elaborate.The first man hesitated, glancing at his colleagues before continuing. "Yes, sir. Aaron was a good boss and a good person. We don't think he deserved to be treated like that."Armand's eyes locked onto the man, his gaze intense. "Tell me more," he said, his voice low and even. "What do you think really happened?"The men exchanged nervous glances before the first man spoke up. "To be honest, sir, we don't really know what happened. He always treated us with kindness and respect."The second man nodded in agreement. "Yes, sir. I remember one time I made a mistake on a project, and Aaro

Vanessa's eyes scanned Armand's office, taking in the tidy space. Everything was in order, from the organized files on his desk to the neatly arranged bookshelves.She turned her attention back to Armand, who was standing by his desk, watching her. "Sir, what exactly do you need my help with?" she asked, curiosity getting the better of her.Armand paused, his eyes locked on Vanessa's, "I don't actually need your help with anything in my office, Vanessa."He stopped speaking, leaving Vanessa puzzled and wondering what he really wanted. The silence stretched out for a few moments until Armand spoke again."What I need your help with, Vanessa, is catching the thieves."Vanessa's eyes widened, her mind racing with questions. "The thieves, sir? What do you mean?"Armand's expression turned grim. "I mean the ones who have been stealing from the company."Vanessa's eyes widened in alarm, her face pale and her body tense. She took a step back, her hands trembling slightly. "T-thieves, sir? Oh

The thieves' eyes widened in terror, their faces pale and sweaty. Their mouths hung open as if frozen in shock. They glanced at each other, then back at Armand and the guards, their eyes darting wildly as they realized they were trapped.Armand's expression was calm and confident. "Gentlemen, you have two options. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. If you choose the hard way, you'll be spending a lot of time in jail. But if you choose the easy way, you'll drop the bag of money, never set foot on any property belonging to the Armstrong empire again, and disappear from our sight forever."He paused, his eyes locked on the thieves. "The choice is yours. But know this: if you choose the hard way, we will make sure you regret it."Vanessa's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Are you willing to just let them go? After everything we went through to catch them?"She shook her head, her expression a mix of confusion and frustration. "I don't understand. Why give them the option to jus

The guards and Vanessa wore bewildered expressions, their faces frozen in disbelief. They seemed to be wondering how someone could be so brazen and unrepentant in the face of wrongdoing. After a moment of stunned silence, one of the guards finally spoke up."Wait, you're not even sorry?" he asked, his voice laced with incredulity. "You're not remorseful at all for stealing from the company?"The guard's question was met with a shrug from the worker. "No, I'm not sorry. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if it meant getting what I wanted."Vanessa's eyes widened in shock. "How can you be so callous?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.The worker's expression remained unyielding, his eyes gleaming with a sense of entitlement. "I'm just looking out for myself. That's what matters most."The room fell silent once again. The only sound was the heavy breathing of the guards as they struggled to contain their anger.The worker broke the silence, his voice dripping with arrogance. "I ha

It was the start of a new day! Armand settled into his office chair, ready to tackle the day's tasks. As he reached for his bag to bring out some documents, a knock on the door broke the silence."Come in," he called out.The door opened, and Vanessa entered, a hesitant look on her face. They exchanged greetings, and Armand asked, "What can I help you with, Vanessa?"Her countenance changed, and she appeared unsure if she should speak. "May I have permission to speak freely, sir?" she asked, her voice laced with caution.Armand's expression turned encouraging. "Of course, Vanessa. You can tell me anything."Her countenance changed again, and she appeared more confident. "Thank you, sir. I wanted to discuss something... delicate." She paused, collecting her thoughts before continuing.Armand gestured to a chair, "Please, sit down, Vanessa."She did so, taking a deep breath before speaking. "I wanted to talk to you about two of the thieves we caught last night, Bright and Daniel."Ar

The barista's eyes widened in terror as she realized she was talking to her boss. Her face turned pale, and her voice trembled as she tried to apologize. "I-I'm s-so sorry, Mr. Armstrong! I didn't mean to...to..."As she stuttered, her hands shook, and she accidentally knocked over a cup of coffee, spilling it all over the counter. "Oh no! I'm s- so sorry! I'm such a clumsy fool!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with panic.She quickly grabbed a towel to clean up the mess, but her hands were shaking so much that she ended up spreading the spill even further. "I'm s-so sorry, Mr. Armstrong! Please forgive me!" she pleaded, her eyes brimming with tears.Armand's expression softened, and he calmly said, "It's okay, it's just an accident. Take a deep breath and calm down." But the barista was too flustered to compose herself, continuing to apologize and clumsily clean up the spill.Armand assisted the barista in cleaning up the spill, his calm demeanour helping to ease her nerves. Once th

Bright and Daniel exchanged a confused glance, their faces scrunched up in puzzlement."What money?" they reply in unison, their voices laced with genuine confusion.Armand's expression remains calm, but his eyes narrow slightly. "Don't play dumb, gentlemen. If you want my forgiveness, you need to be completely honest with me."Bright and Daniel look at each other again, their confusion evident. "But...we didn't take any money," Bright says, his voice laced with bewilderment.Daniel nodded in agreement, his eyes wide with confusion. "Yeah, we have no clue what money you're talking about, Mr. Armstrong."Armand reached out for his phone and placed a call, his eyes fixed on Bright and Daniel. After a brief moment, Vanessa answered, "Hello, Sir. What can I do for you?"Armand's response was curt. "My office, now. Your attention is needed."He hung up without waiting for a response. Bright and Daniel exchanged a nervous glance, their minds racing with possibilities.Five minutes later,

"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.

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

"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
