“You are leaving for the States?” The board of directors questioned him almost at the same time and he nodded.“Yes, I have to. It’s necessary.” He said.“Can we at least know the reason for your leave? Fifteen days without you in this company will be hell.” Leo courteously begged for a valid reason even when he knew it was not necessary because he had the right to leave.“It’s concerning my health.” He began. “All messages and business information should be transferred to Dennis as he will be acting as me till my return.” He paused. “Of course, Mr. Leo can also tend to the ones he can carry but for those fifteen days, I will be strictly unavailable.” He meticulously explained to them.“Sure then. We wish you the best and a safe trip.” They said in unison as he controlled himself out of the meeting room, meeting with Melanie who was waiting for him outside.“How was it?” She asked him, walking beside him in the hallway.“They agreed. But, I feel reluctant to leave, you know.” He frowne
“You still haven’t told me how you know Cassie as the one I planted.” Madam Theresa curled her lips.“Is that what you should worry about at this moment?” Madam Felicia shunned her. “Jamal left the country and no one is agitating about it! Is it possible for his position to stay empty for fifteen days?” Madam Felicia grunted, asking anxiously.“You have tried all methods but all are abortive, do you want me to also embarrass myself?” Madam Theresa raised a scornful brow.“Well, find something else to shake them. Have you run out of ideas?” Madam Felicia urged her grumpily.“And when did you start listening to my suggestions? I thought you were the lord of omnipotent ideas.” Madam Theresa said, staring at her.It was obvious that the two women were teasing and harassing themselves. Soon, someone dropped two cups of coffee on their table.“We didn’t order this.” They shrugged, informing the waitress almost at the same time.“I did.” A hoarse voice said behind them, taking his seat across
“H -how, - w- what -, I-s ?!” The staff and board of directors couldn’t find the right words thus they roared in applause on seeing him. He walked forward, holding the edge of his chair.“But, I thought you are coming back in ten days?” Martins questioned, looking disturbed.“Yeah, the instructor said I’m so determined and ambitious which fastened my training. I’m fine to come back home.” He explained rashly. “Is that reason enough?” He raised a sly brow and Martins skeptically nodded.He diverted his eyes to the others. “On my way here, I heard a rumor concerning Mr. Dennis and some embezzlement?” He said rhetorically, staring at them.Leo cleared his throat. “This is not a good welcome package but that’s what happened. Dennis conspired with an enemy to rip off our empire.” Leo explained rashly to him in a polite tone.“Oh really? After more than twenty years of being in this company, he could only embezzle now?” He raised a brow, others nodded seeing that he was making sense.“Well,
“You are back.” Cassie sighed.“I warned you not to come to my office.” He hissed.“But, we need to talk.” Cassie urged him sadly, approaching his desk.“Talk about what?” He questioned seriously. “Letting you off easily should be the best option for you to accept and leave.” He informed her.“But I’m still in love with you!” Cassie cried out.“In love with me or the money that your client paid you to deceive me?” He raised a brow, giving her a dirty look. Cassie was taken aback by his candid statement.“What? What do you mean?” Cassie stammered, unable to control the guilt she was having.“Do you think I’m so stupid that I don’t know what you are doing?” He smirked, standing from his seat.“From the day you took me home in my drunk state, I knew. I became more confident when I went to your house and happened to see transaction slips and files.” He paused and looked at her. “You are playing with a tiger yet you are not being careful.” He clenched his fist in anger.“I - I -” Cassie sta
"Melanie, did you know what you did?" He scoffed in astonishment. "Your father will be very angry if he finds out what you did." He informed her seriously."Right? But, I had to do it since his deal was fair." She paused. "Next time he wouldn't send me to his male clients." She pouted her lips, looking lovely and he laughed."You are ridiculous. You're selling your father's benefit to another man, what if I don't marry you?" He teased her, raising a brow."Then I'm going to marry you, it can be the other way round." She stuck out her tongue and he laughed again, curbing the car at the garage."But I still think you are making me look like a man who relies on his wife's support. You don't have to do this next time, Melanie." He warned her lovingly, looking worried and she nodded, assisting him to adjust his tie."I have heard you, sir. You have nothing to worry about." She smirked, dusting his shoulder."He is inside waiting for you, I will wait behind so I won't disturb your meeting."
“$100,000 million was found missing from the company account which is affecting our stock in the market right now, how will you explain that? Leo curled his lips while questioning, his gaze fixed on Jamal.“Well, I- -” He began but was interrupted.“Did you steal the company funds for personal benefit or invest in the wrong place?” The investor that Martins had once paid asked him seriously with no manner in his tone. He smirked.“I don’t steal, do I? At least I have money to take care of my needs but yes, I invested in the wrong company.” He informed the board of directors.“What?” Leo was surprised.Meanwhile, Dennis lowered his head to the ground as he couldn’t behold the awful sight. It was the first time his boss had made such a mistake.“When did that happen? You didn’t even tell any of us.” One of the shareholders shook his head in disbelief.“So we should all agree that even the ‘perfect ones’ do make mistakes too, we shouldn’t blame his sibling.” That hired investor muttered
“~!!This is my last warning!!~“~ Since chances have been overstepped ~“~ I won’t resist this time from any hit ~“~ Get ready for me to answer to every ~“~ blow. I know you but you don’t know me.~”For some reason, as the entire family read the letter, they developed cold sweat looking scared, confused, and shocked.“Is this his own way to apologize?” Madam Felicia managed to speak with her lips trembling.“He has the guts!” Nathan reacted provoked. “We have to teach this son of a bitch a lesson!” Nathan urged angrily.“Right? He has been overstepping his own boundaries. Do I also have a right to make his life a living hell?” James asked, staring at his mother.“For him to send us this message, means he is ready to fight and will be stepping up in the game. We have to be extremely careful.” Madam Theresa said calmly.“Careful? Do you expect us to stay still until he takes everything away and ruins us?” Madam Felicia fired at her.“I don’t mean that.” Madam Theresa closed her eyes b
“Young master, are you alright?” Dennis rushed into the hospital injury ward, he saw Jamal and Melanie sitting on the bed while the nurses tended to their skin injuries.“I’m fine.” He said, flashing him a smile.“What happened? How did this happen?” Dennis inquired impatiently.Maybe in the entire planet, he was the one person who meant a lot to Jamal and also cared so much for him.“They did it.” He mumbled only to Dennis hearing while Melanie gave them a somewhat look.“Don’t worry, we will be fine.” Her voice found its way to the conversation, trying to assure Dennis.“Do it.” He commanded Dennis seriously.“Do what?” She grabbed his hand resting on his knee.“It’s none of your business.” He smiled, changing his facial expression as soon as he faced Dennis.“Yes, sir.” Dennis nodded, bowed, and left the hospital.Melanie wondered what he was up to while looking at him in silence.“Sir, you both are fine and can be discharged today.” The nurse informed him courteously and he stood
