"Have you done what I have asked?" Madam Felicia drank the red wine, tossing her crossed leg as she made a call. She was looking through the bustling city on the balcony where she sat."Good. Make sure everything is set and signed before they meet." A small smile formed on her lips.As soon as she ended the call, Martins walked in, looking grumpy and annoyed."Mother, have you gotten the office memo?" Martins roughly sat beside her."Spell me. I'm no longer a board member, have you forgotten?" She rolled her eyes away from him disgustingly."Oh, that's true." Martins rubbed his forehead. "I still can't believe that with one word from that rat, you were no longer allowed to work in the company." Martins scoffed in disbelief."Is that a saying or you are making a mockery of me?" She asked with a hitch of annoyance in her voice with her sharp eyes darting at her son."I'm just saying because it's utterly annoying." Martins scoffed, closing his eyes briefly."You are here." While they wer
Soon, a black car surfaced in the street, coming in their direction. The car's front headlights were on and the driver constantly honked. They stood at a safe spot."Hey, is everything alright here?" A lady said, whining down the window from the passengers' seat."Not really, just a small issue." He groaned."I can give you a lift back to the city if that's okay with you." The lady raised a brow and he shook his head."No, that's okay." He finished his statement and Dennis flashed the strange lady a smile."Sir, I think you should join her so as not to miss the morning meeting tomorrow. I can find a way to tow the car back home." Dennis explained to him in a low voice."You sure? I don't mind staying here with you until it's fixed." He insisted."It's okay, sir. This is my duty." Dennis urged him.He faced the lady who seemed to be patiently waiting for him with no atom of annoyance. "If so, thanks for your offer and I will have to disturb you." He said with a smile.The lady signaled
"Who is she?" The voice of Melanie drew him back to reality and he sighed heavily."Nice to meet you, Miss. Moore." He said, facing Melanie. "She's the lady that helped me last night when my car broke down." He explained rashly and she nodded."I'm Melanie, his girlfriend." She curled her lips but Cassie didn't react or show any feelings, rather she smiled."I'm Cassie." They shook hands."I would have loved to discuss further but right now, I'm in a hurry." He informed her abruptly."It's alright, go ahead. Thanks." Cassie flashed him a smile. He gave a short look at Melanie before rushing out of the company.Melanie sighed heavily. "I will show you around the office, cool?" She raised a sly brow."No, it's fine. I was here because of Mr. Jamal. According to Mr. Leo, he is the CEO and my boss, I wanted to introduce myself to him but that has already happened so I will leave." Cassie said steadily."Sure. See you around then." She smiled.Martins sat on the stool as he gulped the alcoh
“Jamal, yo- -” She wanted to run after him but Martins held her.“Let him go,” Martins said with a low voice.“Let him go? Why should I do that when he is misunderstanding everything!” She yelled at him in anger.“Melanie, you are beautiful and don’t need an idiot like Jamal -” Martins was about to touch her cheek but she threw her face away.“Let me go!” She pulled her arm away from his hand. “You know you are the cause of everything. I told you I didn’t need your fucking care and attention, I told you to leave my office, if you hadn't threatened to leak a new sex tape of Jamal, I wouldn’t have played along with you!” She lashed at him in anger.“To me, you did nothing wrong. Why is he in so much pain? It only means he doesn’t trust the woman he is dating.” Martins curled his lips.“If I were you, I would also let him go. Do you think it’s because of our action that made him end things with you?” Martins laughed, raising a brow.She faced him, with anxiety dancing in her eyes. “What d
“Because I explained my situation to you doesn’t give you any right to lure me into sleeping with you.” He shunned her, standing from the bed.“Jamal, I -” She tried to touch him but he shoved her hand away.“I won't condole to this habit.” He sighed. “I will act like this never happened.” He beeline to the door but Cassie was so desperate that she didn’t let him go, rather she rushed behind him until they got to the living room.“Just please, Jamal. Are you going to walk out of here without doing it? Do you know if your ex-girlfriend has already done it with your stepbrother?” She questioned anxiously, aiming at irritating him.“That’s none of my business.” He tightened his chin, controlling his anger because he might explode at the thought of it.“No woman wants an innocent weak man! You need to be fierce and domineering not some weakling protective lover.” She fired at him.“Not all men have to be fierce or dominant. My own woman will come, the one that loves me for who I am, withou
“I’m no longer interested in continuing partnership with C-Gaming Group.” He said seriously, slapping the detailed contract on the table.Melanie smirked as she reluctantly picked it up. “Why? You can’t end a partnership without any reason.” She informed him.“I have gotten a better proposal from another company and the interest from C-Gaming Group isn’t increasing as expected.” He said vividly.“And all this while, you said nothing about it. Why are you trying to end it now? Does this look like some relationship that you can end overnight?” She fired at him. “Before signing this contract, all the management board were present to deliberate terms with you which you accepted, you also agreed to take up failures in the process since business is about loss and gain. Why now are you trying to terminate it?” She questioned him annoyingly.“Is it by force to partner with your company?” He raised a disgusting brow. “I’m not interested anymore and I’m not changing my mind. Please, sign that b
"Goodness! Martins what happened to your face?" Madam Felicia shivered, caressing her son's bruised face as soon as he stepped into the living room."Answer me, did you hit your face somewhere or did someone hit you? Why do you look so horrible?" Madam Felicia agitated seriously, as she signaled the servants to bring the first aid box."It's - it's Jamal," Martins grunted and his mother's eyes widened in dismay and annoyance."Jamal? What did he do?" She swallowed hard, trying not to get ahead of herself."He overheard my discussion with you and started punching me." Martins faced his mother. "For some reason, I was so scared as he looked fearless and scary," Martins added, shaking his head."That stinky pumpkin slapped my son, no not that, punched my son!" She questioned in anger. "He has the guts! The momentum! I will deal with him, personally." She said confidently with a loud voice."Mum, we have to be careful as he warned us seriously that he will deal with anyone that obstructs h
Melanie arranged her files in a brown box including her working materials. After the intrusion of Cassie Moore, her father’s company was truly no longer beneficial which means she had no reason to stay. Inwardly she regretted not purchasing some sjares in his company which would have caused her a permanent time with him. To give him hell for leaving her.She held the box and strolled down the hallway, trying to keep a straight head and happy face even though the situation was saying something else.Soon, some staff who didn’t notice her started their gist as soon as they got into the elevator.“Really?” One of the staff gasped. They were three in number.“I saw it with my own eyes.” The first lady paused. “Mr. Jamal was proposing to Miss. Cassie, the new shareholder.” The first lady added vividly.“Wow! This is so surprising. Two brothers finding love all over the workplace but then I’m still single.” The third lady cringed and her colleagues laughed at her.“But, I thought Mr. Jamal l
