Gary took in a deep breath as he parked his car in front of the cafe where the CEO had asked them to meet. Gary had not wanted to take the CEO seriously when he said he would meet with him because everyone knew he wasn't currently in New York. So he was shocked when he got a call from the same number that had called him the previous night. Immediately he picked up, he blurted the name of the cafe where they were going to meet, and hung up.

The previous night, the CEO was in another country but he took an overnight flight to New York so that he could address the situation on the ground in person. Losing Mr Harrier is a huge risk to the growth of his institution.

Gary brought out a mirror and arranged his hair then he smoothed his blazers before stepping out of his car. He checked the time as he made his way inside the cafe. It was 7:47 AM. He smiled when he saw the time, impressed at his punctuality.

He had checked online and confirmed that the cafe had a VIP section. His intention was

    Brad was ready for the day. After a thorough relaxing shower, a well-prepared meal, and a good night's sleep, Brad couldn't have been better prepared for the activities of the day ahead. Thoughts of Claire, the incident at her party, and her rude boss slash boyfriend were now forgotten. All that was on Brad's mind was Integrity Finance Company. His newly acquired company. He smirked at that thought as he got in the car."Good morning, boss," Nick nodded at Brad as he peered at him through the rearview mirror.Brad grinned, "It's a very good morning. How're you?""I'm okay," Nick answered as he veered the car out of Brad's garage. Earlier, Brad had informed Nick where they were going on Sunday morning and Nick knew when he saw the name of the company. Ke knew that Ned's lucky time had run out and Brad was ready to get into action.Brad took his phone and dialed Maxwell's number. He was sure Ned would definitely want to act funny. Especially since he hadn't reached out to him yet, he m

    Instead of sending heavy hits on Brad, Ned found himself wrestling with the man who always relayed Brad's message.Nick was quick to hold back Ned when he drew back his arm, ready to fling it in Brad's face. At the same time, Ned's men, even though the men guarding Brad looked stronger, backed their boss and aimlessly lunged at Brad but the men that Brad had Maxwell send took over. They took Ned from Nick's strong grip, two of them held each of Ned's arms while the rest held down Ned's men.Nick took a step back, smoothed his slightly creased outfit, and replaced his position beside Brad.Some of Ned's men refused to be easily tamed and so they received a blow here and there from Brad's men. Ned got even more infuriated by the sight of his men getting beaten up. Furiously, he watched as each of them were dealt with blows and kicks, their faces contorted in pain as they got pinned down.His anger made him feel stronger as he tried to get out of the men's grasp and reach the bastard t

    "Though, I would like to implore you all to be a little patient as I'd need to amend the contract rules for the benefit of you all. It will only take an hour, tops."The crowd agreed by cheering Brad even further.Brad turned back to the staff that huddled behind him and nodded. Ned's former assistant then walked Brad to Ned's former office, Nick in tow.Brad quickly got to work once he was in there. However, he made a mental note to revamp the whole company, especially the office that would become his, after all important details had been catered to.Ned's assistant fluidly showed him the soft copy of the file that contained the contract rules. Brad took his time to amend it, changed a lot of things, and made the rules more flexible so that it would be easy for loanees to repay the loans taken.Several minutes later, he cracked his knuckles and then wriggled them. He went through the changed rules one more time before he called on the assistant."Yes sir?""I just sent the new contr

    "Hey man," Dylan shook hands with him. "What's up?"Gary just murmured a response, removed his jacket, and plopped on the padded seat across from his friend. Then he grabbed the bottle of beer that his friend had ordered, poured himself a cup, and chugged it down his throat.He sighed as he slammed the cup on the table. Then he reclined in the seat, tipped his head back, and closed his eyes. Now that was more like it, he thought. This was better than going nuts in his apartment.The young man, around Gary's age, watched his friend in amusement. First, it was the impromptu call that they should meet at the bar. When he lazily asked why, all Gary had muttered was that he just wanted to 'chill'.Now, 'chill' to Gary meant having himself surrounded by girls - it was his natural charm, hot girls just swarmed around him. 'Chill' also meant drinking, dancing, and boasting about his achievements but so far, all Gary had been doing was chugging down the cheap beer he usually turned down his no

    The manager continued over the phone in a grave voice, "I'm sorry but I can't help you. You'd have to look for Mr Harrier yourself. If I get myself involved in this matter, it will also affect me and I do not want the wrath of Mr Harrier hovering over my head."Gary gulped, "Does that mean you've seen him?""Of course I have!" The man answered quickly as if Gary had just asked the most ridiculous question ever. He added, "In fact, I know him very well and I know that you have truly offended him and that is why he has chosen to deal with you by pulling out his assets from Trust Financial.""Oh God," Gary breathed and clutched his hair."Mt Harrier is one of the most humble and kind wealthy men I have ever met," the manager continued in a solemn voice, "I wondered what you did to him. Well, it's left to you to find him and plead with him. Trust me, you don't want to have his wrath over your head for long.""Can you describe him? Please.""I've told you. I cannot involve myself.

Nick and I have gotten solid evidence. They'll be sent to you soon.""Alright, Brad, is that all?"Brad paused and thought her question over, "For now? That will be all." "I will get to it immediately.".After Ned was thrown out of his company and refused entry, he was raving mad as he stormed away from there and left for his apartment. All his men could do was follow him with their heads bowed. They knew that they had once again let their boss down. It had never been like this until the man came into the picture. They always won every fight until they faced the man.Ned was scared to the bones, his hands shook even as he gripped his knees with them. He felt pathetic.

    "Again?" Rose exclaimed and her brows creased as the call went into voicemail. "What's happening?" She asked herself as she munched on the chips on the plate beside her bed where she was sprawled.A lot happened during Claire's birthday party that Rose was starting to think maybe she had overacted but it was what the situation had called for. She couldn't just sit back and watch her cousin push herself into a ditch.She attempted again and dialed the number. After a few seconds, it went straight to voicemail. Rose sighed, her hands fell by her side and she looked up at the ceiling. She didn't know anymore. Rose was convinced that she had done the right thing. She had thought that Claire would come around and thank her but she still hasn't seen or heard from her cousin. She really did not understand what was going on in that girl's head anymore.He frowned, deepened and she scoffed. "It's not possible that she has really fallen for that poor man right?

    "What about your brother?"As Sophia heard Rose ask and she realized that she had trailed off in the process of trying to force the zip of the bag. She sighed and plopped her butt in the bag. Instead of multitasking and being unable to achieve anything she can as well attend to one at a time so she focused on her phone call with Rose. "Yeah, my brother. He's actually having his last operation this morning." Sophia had received a call from the hospital the previous morning that she was needed at the hospital as the operation would be carried out on her brother that morning. She was slightly vexed that they hadn't deemed it fit to inform her when she was there yesterday so that she'd have enough time to prepare as she usually slept over at the hospital after his surgeries but she hadn't said anything. She had just pressed her lips tight and asked, "My brother is alright, right?""Of Course! You saw him yesterday, didn't you?" "And you saw me too, you dumbo!" Instead, she smiled, forc

Brad, David and Kevin also stepped out of the exam hall, their writing materials in their hands. They had smiles on their faces and you could easily tell that the exam was turned out well for them.Rose also stepped out alone the moment Brad and his friends came out. When she saw them, she couldn't help but stare at Brad longer than usual, wondering, "could it be true ?"Ever since Cliare told her, she had been wondering, thinking non stop about it. She kept wondering if this random looking guy can really be as rich as Claire had told her. Gosh. He doesn't even look it."Rise?"one of Rose's colleagues called but she didn't hear she was too absorbed inher thoughts about Brad and his wealth."Is that Brad you're staring at?"

She almost felt like a mom.She laughed at her silliness and proceeded into the school. She had no idea where she would find either Brad or Rose but she kept going anyway. She was determined to meet with them, in fact, she would like to meet with both of them and have a serious talk with them.As she entered a hallway in the school, her eyes scanned the bunch of students who were rushing out of a class, and her gaze easily fell on Rose. Almost immediately, she spotted her too. With a big smile, she waved at her and Rose just rolled her eyes. She muttered something to the two girls she was walking with and sashayed her hips toward her."Now what are you doing here? I said I want you out of my life!" Rose greeted Claire hotly.Claire smiled and playfully nudged Rose on her shoulders, "Relax, cousin. Come

    "But how do I make someone who hates my guts, my friend? I can't even get myself acquainted with him talkless of making him my friend," Gary said angrily."But- " Gary hesitated, still thinking about all she had. Found out and all that Dylan just explained to him. He was still confused as to how all of these were possible.His brows creased as he looked at Dylan, "If what you're saying is all true then Brad Harrier isn't just a rich man…" he trailed off and paused, " He is actually the head, " he broke off again, his sentences coming out distorted. His heart beats quickened as he started to grasp the real situation he was in, "That means Brad Harrier is a mafia lord," his heart skipped a beat, "one that had the power and had every legal right to take my life if he felt the need and the government would do nothing about it?"Dylan nodded tentatively, feeling sorry for his friend."Holy shit!"

    Gary was just reaching the restaurant at the same time Dylan arrived too. He shook his head as Dylan suddenly stopped walking and squinted at him.As Dylan approached the restaurant, he scanned the area of Gary's car but couldn't find it. He's late? He wondered, surprised, Claire was never late to their meet up here since he always came with his car. His thoughts trailed off when he saw someone who looked like his friend in the distance, hands buried in his pockets as she swaggered toward the entrance of the restaurant, his gaze already on him.At first, Dylan squinted at him, not believing his eyes. Gary shook his head as Dylan wouldn't stop staring. Then he left him outside and went inside the restaurant. Almost immediately, Dylan joined him across the table."Bro! Did you just trek?"Gary shrugged, "I told you I needed to clear my head, didn't I?""Wow. This is new," Dylan muttered to himself. He was about to start throwing questions at Gary when the waiter arrived and Gary immed

    "Hey man," Gary literally sighed in his response after he answered the call."Man," the caller, Dylan, drawled. "You don't sound good, "What's up? How far have you gone with the search for your man? Did the chick tell you who he is?"Since Dylan was the one who arranged the men he used to get Claire, he knew about it.On a normal day when Gary was his normal self, if he had been asked so many questions at once, he would have lashed out at whoever dared to try it but this time, he didn't. He only knew his friend was talking, he couldn't process his excessive words."Man, I need to talk," he pinched the space between his forehead, squeezed his eyes shut, and opened it again. "I need to clear my head." "Are you okay, Gary?" Dylan asked worried."I might lose my job soon, I can't be fine," he answered Dylan's irritating question.
