Vanessa felt really uncertain. Armand and Vanessa sat together in his office, discussing. Earlier, he informed her about what happened with Jack, and she felt sceptical.They both decided to wait and see if Jack would keep to his end of the bargain and not disappear with the money he had been given.While waiting, Armand requested a project update on one of their important projects, which Vanessa was in charge of."By the way, can you please update me on the status of the ongoing X project?" Armand requested."Sure. I'd be happy to. It's one of my favourite projects so far. We're currently on track to meet our deadline, and we've completed approximately 75% of the project tasks." Vanessa explained."That's great news! Are there any areas of concern or potential obstacles that we need to address?" Armand asked."Yes, we have encountered a few issues that may cause delays in the project. We are currently working on resolving these issues and are confident that we will be able
Jack was right. That was what was running through Vanessa's mind as she sat in her office waiting for Raymond Morris.He had called earlier and requested to meet with her. He said he had a thriving business deal that he would like to discuss.Vanessa didn't want to go into partnership with Raymond, but Armand asked her to.Jack had assured them that Raymond would try to jeopardize the deal, and Armand believed him.A knock on the door brought her out of her thoughts."You can enter." Vanessa said.Raymond Morris walked into the office, a smile on his face. Vanessa wasn't fooled by the smile. She knew very well Raymond was nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing."Good day, Vanessa. How're you doing?" Raymond asked after he had taken a seat."I'm good. And you?" Vanessa responded."As you can see, I'm fine. How're your parents and their business?" Raymond asked. If Vanessa didn't know better, she would think he actually cared."They're okay. The business is doing great. So
Vanessa was furious But at the same time, she was glad. She never wanted to sign that deal with Raymond Morris.Even though she knew whatever he said wouldn't have any major impact on the Armstrong empire, Vanessa hated the fact that his actions could make the public doubt the integrity of the Armstrong empireThis was the perfect time for Raymond Morris to be brought down. The world needed to see him for who he truly is.His wife's downfall had been grand, and his would be even grander. Vanessa was feeling pumped. She had called earlier to notify the TV station that she would be joining them, but she made it clear Raymond wasn't to be told."We're here, ma'am." Donald announced.Vanessa was so deep in thoughts that she didn't realize they had arrived at the TV station, however, she couldn't bring herself to step out of the car when Donald opened and held the door for her.Vanessa was feeling a combination of anxiety, fear, and nervousness about the interview.She was scare
No one paid attention to Raymond Morris. "I just said that I want this live session to be stopped." Raymond yelled again.He was agitated and needed to get out of there. This interview had gone way too far, and this was not his plan."Well, Mr Morris, you can leave if you wish, but before you do, I'd like you to have a rethink. I think it's in your best interest to stay and defend your image. You can start by telling us why you leaked the news about the deal." the interviewer said.Raymond thought about it for a moment and decided to do damage control."Honestly, I was just too excited. I couldn't believe that such an empire agreed to work with me. I know I should have waited, but I felt proud of myself and wanted the world to join me in my joy." Raymond lied."Fair enough. But what about the errors that people have been complaining about. People are saying there's something wrong with the shares you sell, and Miss Chapman earlier said that you should be held responsible for
"Stock Giant , RM corp found guilty of selling unprofitable stocks, Fined Millions of Dollars" "Scandal Erupts as Popular Corporation Caught Lying to the Public About Shares" "Popular Company RM Corp Found Guilty of Leaking Business Deal" "Scandal rocks RM Corp: Massive Lie Uncovered by the Armstrong empire" Raymond Morris and his wife had been the topic of discussion ever since the interview, and the news of Raymond's downfall was yet to leave the front page of every newspaper and social media. "This is going way better than I anticipated." Armand said to Vanessa as they both made their way into the company . "I knew Raymond was going to be made to pay for his crimes, but I didn't think it would go this way." Vanessa responded. "What do you mean?" Armand asked "I was expecting the Armstrong empire to come under a little attack as well, I had no idea we would be this praised." Vanessa replied. "That shouldn't surprise you. The Armstrong empire has never compr
Jack was unusually quiet. Vanessa and Jack sat in the back of the car while Donald drove to the hotel. Raymond had instructed Jack to meet with him."Hey. Are you okay? You've been awfully quiet." Vanessa noted."Yea, I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind." Jack replied."Do you want to talk about it?" Vanessa asked. Jack hesitated."It's okay if you don't," Vanessa said."I'm really nervous about meeting Mr Morris. He used to intimidate me so much." Jack said truthfully."I understand why you feel that way, but I think you'll be okay. It's been a while since you've seen him, right?" Vanessa asked."Yeah, it has been a while, but I still remember how he used to make me feel. He was always so aggressive and dismissive." Jack said."I can relate. He was the same way with my family before we finally escaped from his grip. I get that, but try to remember that you're not the same person you were back then. You've grown and changed, and you don't have to feel intimidated anymo
"Not again!" Vanessa said out loud. Her phone rang for the tenth time that morning, and she was already fed up.It was the weekend, and she decided to help her parents out at the pastry shop. Everything had been going well until a particular number kept calling repeatedly.Vanessa decided not to pick up after the person had called the first two times. She assumed the person would get the memo that she was busy and would return the calls later, but the person didn't.Vanessa held her phone and watched it ring. She was contemplating if she should pick up the call when the customer in front of her spoke up."Excuse me, can I pay for my purchase?" The customer said.Vanessa quickly looked up from her phone."Oh, yes, sorry about that. How can I help you?" Vanessa asked."I'd like to pay for my items, please," the customer answered."Of course, I apologize for the delay. Let me ring up your items, " Vanessa responded.The customer handed Vanessa her goods, and after costing it
"Jude!?” What do you want?" Vanessa asked. He was the last person she expected a call from."Hi, it's me. Can we talk?" Jude asked."I don't really want to talk to you right now." Vanessa responded."Please, just hear me out. I know things didn't end well between us, and the last time we saw each other, it wasn't under the best of circumstances, but I need to talk to you." Jude said."I don't think there's anything left to say," Vanessa replied."I understand that, but I just want to apologize for everything that happened. I messed up, and I'm sorry." Jude responded."I appreciate the apology, but it doesn't change anything," Vanessa said ."I know, but I want to make things right between us. Can we at least talk about it?" Jude asked."I don't think it's a good idea. I don't think you should even be talking to me right now, considering the way things are between your family and the company I work, " Vanessa said"I understand that, but I just need to know that we're okay
