"My what?" Jude asked"Behind you" Miriam replied.Jude turned and noticed the car that just drove in, at first, he thought that the car looked familiar and soon, he remembered why, however, he kept muttering a silent prayer to God, begging him that he should be wrong about the owner of the car.Suddenly, the car door was open and a lady stepped out, Jude kept looking at her feet, the sound of her heels was the only sound Jude could hear at that moment.Jude's heart raced as he scanned the parking lot, desperately trying to find an escape. He had been weaving a web of lies, carefully constructing a facade to protect his secrets, but now his worst fear was about to come true.He finally gained the courage and he looked at the face of the lady walking towards them, it was a lady with piercing eyes and an unwavering gaze—a person they never expected to see, Vanessa Chapman.As she walked towards them, Vanessa possessed an air of discernment, an aura that hinted at her ability to se

"To true friendship," Armand said."To true friendship," Vanessa echoed."Cheers," Miriam said and the three of them clinked their glasses.Miriam and Vanessa met up with Armand and the three of them agreed to have a drink to celebrate their victory against, not just Jude, but the entire Morris family.The atmosphere was filled with a mix of emotions and dynamics. The energy in the air is charged, a potent combination of relief, vindication, and perhaps a tinge of lingering skepticism on the part of Miriam."You guys have no idea just how glad I am that the charade is over, finally, I rest without worrying about getting a call from that imbecile" Vanessa said.Miriam concurred. There was a collective sense of relief among the three of them, as they had successfully revealed the truth and brought Jude's deceptive actions to light.Between Armand and Vanessa, their shared experience of uncovering the lies strengthened their bond, reaffirming their trust in each other and their ab

"Us?" Vanessa asked."Yes. I think we should be open and plain here" Armand replied."Okay?..." Vanessa responded, sounding unsure."If we're being honest, you'll agree with me that something has changed in our relationship," Armand said."You're right about that" Vanessa concurred."Well, I think I should start from the beginning, where it all started for me," Armand said."And where is that?" Vanessa asked."It started when you decided you would hang out with Jude. I knew it was strictly in order to find out what he was up to, but still, it didn't sit well with me.And it wasn't just because I was concerned about your safety, it was something else. I tried to fight it off, I even told myself I was confused, but I don't think I am any longer" Armand said.Armand paused to gather his thoughts together. He was about to explain to Vanessa, a woman who has been his friend and representative for a long time, his feelings when she told him about her decision to go out with Jude.

"Well, the last time we spoke, I mentioned that King and Jude were in debt. Do you remember?" Nina asked."Yes, I remember. You said they gamble a lot and they owed the people they gamble with or something like that" Vanessa answered."Yes. Well, it turns out that the situation is more serious than I had thought" Nina said."Nina, can you please explain? Did something happen to King?" Vanessa asked."Not really. The thing is, last week, King stayed at work really late and I had to stay with him as well. When we were done, he immediately left and I stayed behind to lock up.When I was done and I got close to the parking lot of the company, I heard voices. At first I was tempted to call out loud to see who it was, but I didn't" Nina explained."Why didn't you?" Vanessa asked."Because I heard what sounded like a person being shoved against a car or something and then I heard a grunt, I got scared and I hid behind a car" Nina answered."Hmm. Then what happened next?" Vanessa inqu

"Calm down. I haven't even said anything yet," Vanessa said."You don't have to. I already know you're thinking of asking him for help and more information about what's happening in MacMatthew Corp," Armand said."How can you be so sure?" Vanessa asked defensively."Am I wrong?" Armand replied."Well, no. But hear me out. Tom is a nice man. People make mistakes and what happened that day was a mistake. You have to overlook it, please," Vanessa pleaded."Overlook? That man judged me even before he got a chance to know me. First impressions matter a lot and the impression that man gave me, I do not like it" Armand said."Okay, I agree, first impressions really do matter, however, what about giving someone a second chance. Second impression?" Vanessa asked."Vanessa, no. Look for someone else" Armand said."Tom works in the finance department and I'm sure he wouldn't lie to me. Also, I'm certain he knows more about this issue than any other staff," Vanessa said."I just can't

Vanessa sat with an upright posture. Her back was straight and her shoulders relaxed."I'm all ears," she replied. Her sitting position reflected her attentiveness and readiness to absorb whatever Tom had to say."First, I need you to clarify what you just said. Were you indirectly implying that Mr Armand Armstrong is interested in acquiring MacMatthew Corporation?" Tom asked."Typical Tom" Vanessa muttered, he would never give out information without being certain.Vanessa leaned slightly forward "Yes, that's exactly what I mean Tom. But I need you to tell me what's going on here and I need you to confirm if that will be a good investment or not" Vanessa explained."If Armand Armstrong is the good businessman you say he is and if his good record is anything to go by, then I can say with great measure of conviction that buying MacMatthew Corporation is going to be a good investment" Tom said with his eyes focused on Vanessa."That's good. I need you to tell me if there's anythin

"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

"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
