The manager knows that he has gotten himself into some kind of trouble, did she just refer to the poorly dressed fellow as 'young master'?He bows again to Joanna, with a very big smile on his face. "Madam, is this your driver?" He asks. Angus still hasn't said a word, he wants the man to get drowned in his ignorance. Joanne turns to him with an angry look, she can't believe the level of disrespect. "Are you seriously referring to my boss as my driver?!" She asks. His eyes fly open, did she just call the poor man her boss?Angus sees the confusion on his face and this gladdens his heart, he laughs with heartiness. The manager is trembling like a leaf, the doorman looks like he has peed himself. "Sir– sir, I am very sorry for preventing you from entering." He holds up his hands. "I thought you were–""Excuse me?!" Joanna's eyes are red with anger. "You stopped him from entering the building, do you know who he is?""I am sorry, ma'am, I thought he was one of those poverty-strick
The owner of the estate, Mister Merlin, rushes to the estate with his security. He wipes the sweat from his eyebrow as he rushes towards the mansion on the hill, the one that the manager just said has been sold. He meets the manager walking around with a clipboard in his hands, and he runs towards his boss when he sees me. "Tell me this is a joke! You sold that house after ten years?!" "Yes, boss!" The manager is very excited. "The man who bought the house didn't even bat an eye, he paid in full!" "What?!" He yells. "How many banks did he get loans from before buying?" "None, sir. This man seems to be very wealthy." Mister Merlin takes the clipboard immediately, it contains little information about the buyer and he scans through it. "Angus Knighton? I have never heard of that name in my life." He mutters. "And he is in his mid-twenties? How could he have afforded the money?!" "Maybe he comes from a very rich family." The manager shrugs. "He came with his assistant and she dro
The whole estate is waiting to see Angus, but he minds his business and stays in the house. Only a few people who have seen him are the cleaners, the manager, and Mister Merlin. But today, Angus is going to step out today because he needs to buy some things for his mother and also to pay a few bills at the hospital. His mother has a few more days of bed rest and she will be cleared to leave the hospital. His grandfather has offered to allow her to stay at the house, but Angus wants to bring her here, she deserves to live this good life with him. He will talk about it with his grandfather later, but now he needs to get ready to see his mother. After Angus has taken his bath, he puts on a simple pair of jeans and a shirt, he looks like any normal person. The minute he steps out of the house, he notices someone in his garden, shearing the flowers. He squints because he is confused, the estate gardener just did it a few days ago, who is this?"Manager?!" Angus is taken aback. The
The clerk is visibly confused, he knows that he has somehow gotten himself into trouble. Yet, somewhere in his heart, he believes that Angus is not who he says he is. The manager comes forward and shakes Angus' hand with a professional smile. "Welcome to Elite Bank, I hope it wasn't much trouble coming here." He says. "Sir, this man is holding a black card and I am sure that it's fake." The clerk insists. "He is just an imposter who wants to steal some free money." The manager takes Angus' card and looks at it. He is an expert in this field, he knows what to look for in the hidden corners of the card to know if it's authentic. It's authentic, he can tell immediately and his eyebrows deepens as he huffs at the clerk. "Don't act a fool, this is a real card." He warned him. Angus laughs immediately. The clerk turns red with embarrassment and wants to immediately disappear. It doesn't take long before the manager correctly guesses what has happened. "Oh, don't tell me that you h
Argh! He can't believe that Ashley would stoop this low to tarnish his image. He knows that she is angry that he is not being mad at the divorce, he is too calm about it and it's driving her crazy. That's why she posted those crazy posts all over social media, she wants a bad reaction from him. Now everyone knows about their divorce, even his shitty colleagues. He runs his fingers through his hair in frustration as he continues to stare at his phone. He can hear Bryan and the others laugh behind him. "Look at his face! He can't even keep a woman! He can't provide for her!" They are all laughing at him, the echoes of their laughter was mocking him. Suddenly the whole place goes silent as soon as they hear the clinking of shoes against the ground. It's the familiar walking step of their boss, Matilda, she is an iron lady that is feared by every single one of them. She is slender and beautiful, and has a lot of sexual appeal, but her subordinates respect her for far more than t
Matilda spends almost a full hour in her office just staring motionlessly at the wall. She is thinking about Angus and why an anonymous person is trying so hard to get him fired. Angus is not a troublemaker or a lazy employee, he is one of the best accountants that she has seen in her life. She randomly just got a message and now she is confused about what to do. She knows that she has to protect Angus, she can't just let him take the blow for someone who isn't even brave enough to show their face. She shrugs it off with an exhale and goes back to work, there is so much to do. She is slowly getting immersed in work, but her phone loudly rings and breaks her concentration. She looks at it, it's not a saved number, but nevertheless, she picks it up. She immediately hears the raspy breathing at the other end, she immediately knows that it's trouble. "Yes, who is this?" "Oh, Matilda, I was trying to be nice by warning you first of all, but thank you for letting me know your sta
Bryan knows that he has been caught, he looks around and sees the eager eyes of his colleagues watching him, and that of his boss too. He sneers at all of them. "Oh, I am the bad guy now?!" He yells. "I have been working my ass off for meager wages and so have all of you! All because of this woman and because I have tried to stand for my truth, I am a bad guy?!" They are looking calm, so he continues since they are following him. "There is more than she is keeping from us all, this company is going bankrupt under her watch!" He points at her. "She is incompetent and uses all our bonuses to buy herself a new car every year!" They nod because it's true, Matilda has been buying new cars very frequently. Now, their anger shifts to Matilda, she doesn't even bat an eyelid. Now Bryan goes to the front, where everyone can see him and he spreads out his hands. "That's why I have come up with a solution to all of this. There is a man called Quinton, he has agreed to save this company fr
Angus looks at Matilda with a cheerful smile, he can tell that she feels sad, but he is going to cheer her up. "Don't worry, Matilda, I've got this." He says with a smile. "How though?" She gives a hopeless shrug. "Have you heard of Solomon Randolf?" He asks. "You mean the richest man in the country? Of course, I have heard of him." "What if I told you that I can get us a collaboration with them today?" Her face falls in shock. "That's some bullshit!" Bryan blurts. "Do you even know who Mister Solomon Randolf is, or have you just searched his name on the internet?" Bryan comes to stand directly in his face. "Randolf's company ranks the highest in the country, you must be joking if you think that they are going to help a small shitty company like this one." He sneers. His words discourage her and he can see Matilda losing what is left of her little faith. "What if I say I can get a representative of the company here…" Angus causally glances at his wristwatch. "An hour?" "I
