ARMAND ARMSTRONG; BILLIONAIRE ON A MISSION Chapter Sixty-seven
Miriam stumbled out of the dimly lit bar, her face contorted with anguish. Tear-stained trails streaked her cheeks, mingling with the remnants of once-flawless makeup. Her chest heaved with every breath as she fought to contain the sobs that threatened to escape her trembling lips. With disheveled hair cascading around her face, she appeared as a tragic figure caught in the midst of a personal storm. Her eyes, usually vibrant and full of life, now held a profound sadness within them. They glistened with unshed tears, reflecting the pain that consumed her soul. The weight of heartbreak bore down on her shoulders, causing her once-confident posture to slump in defeat. Each step she took seemed to carry the burden of shattered dreams and lost love. Her attire, once meticulously chosen, now looked haphazard and disarrayed. The elegant dress that once accentuated her curves now clung to her form as if it mirrored her vulnerability. Her high heel clicked against the pavement, echoing t

"My 3 o'clock appointment? Miriam, what're you talking about?" Jude asked."You heard me clearly. You can get the money to offset your debt from your 3 o'clock appointment. You were in such a hurry to meet up with this person, I'm sure the person can be of assistance to you" Miriam answered."Miriam, you've gotten it all wrong. The person I'm supposed to meet with isn't personal, it's work related" Jude said"Just stop, please. You made it clear that work isn't your thing, so, why the lie?" Miriam asked.Jude paused, he knew he wouldn't easily get out of this one, even if Miriam broke up with him, there was no way he would allow her to take the money with her.He stood nervously, his body language reflecting a mix of anxiety and desperation. His eyes dart around, searching for the right words, while his hands fidget, betraying his inner turmoil."I'm seeing a relative of mine. She's someone related to my mum and she agreed to help my parents. I'm supposed to meet with her an

"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

"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
