Jeremy alighted from the car, he sauntered towards the uncompleted building and entered through the pithead. When he got inside the uncompleted building, he could see Adriel, who was veiled and tied to a chair. Jeremy walked to Adriel, he unveiled him and loosed him from the chair. Jeremy brought out his gun as a means of protection as he dragged Adriel out of the building. “Let me be!” Adriel screamed all along. “It’s time to keep quiet and enter the car, or I do what you don’t like,” Jeremy said when they got to where the car was parked. Jeremy opened the door to the back seat and pushed Adriel inside the car. Logan, who was sitting at the back, knocked Adriel’s head and said, “Keep quiet, pothead!” Jeremy sat beside Dickson at the front and Dickson started the car. The car gently disappeared into the
COMPANY BUSINESS DEAL
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ “Yes, it is; but life goes on,” Silas said. “Sure. Well, we had a business deal with her. She agreed to supply us with sophisticated toiletries after we paid her a sum of 10, 000 USD. After that, we traveled back to Delaware and had been waiting for her supplies. Unfortunately, we haven’t contacted her since. So, my friend and I myself planned to come over to California, and here we are in California. We were at her former residence last week and someone told us about her ordeal and how she had relocated,” Charles said. “That’s serious. She had never told me in the past that she was a dealer in toiletries. Notwithstanding, she is pregnant; so, she went to the clinic for antenatal care. She should be back by 10:00 am at most,” Silas said. “We don’t have any option, Mr. Easton, do we?” Charles said. “No, we don’t; we just have to wait for her return,” Logan said. “Alright, I guess you won’t be bored?” Silas said. “Bored?

COMPANY MALODOROUS THING

Stand up now!” Adalyn tearfully stood up from the couch, she looked at her husband and carried a step forwards. “I will miss you, Adalyn,” Silas said and tears ran down his face. “It’s alright, Silas, Logan said jocularly, and Charles laughed. “Mr. Silas, do you know our faces now?” Charles said. “Yes, sir,” Silas said. “Wow! It means you can easily point fingers at us when you see us somewhere else,” Charles said. “I will not do that,” Silas said, and cleaned the tears on his face. Charles laughed and said, “You will! Logan, eliminate him.” “ Alright, boss,” Logan said. “Oh, my God; don’t kill my husband, he will not disclose this to anyone,” Adalyn said and cried the more. Logan ignored Adalyn, he took out his gun from where he hid it and pointed it to Silas. Silas stood up from the couch and tried to collect the gun Logan was pointi
COMPANY INHUMANE
❌ Do not copy or share on any platform ❌ Adalyn gazed at the pithead as if she was trying to reminisce. “Adalyn, are you deaf?” Dickson said and knocked Adalyn’s head. Adalyn was pained, she grimaced and said, “I am sorry, sir. I know only one Louise.” “Good. How are you related to this Louise?” Charles said. “He is my ex-husband and he is dead,” Adalyn said grimly. “How did he die?” Charles said. “I don’t know how he died; the only thing I know is that me and my late daughter walked into his room and saw his corpse under our matrimonial bed,” Adalyn said grimly. “Before that, did he have any grudge against anyone?” Charles said. Adalyn scratched her head and couldn’t say a word. “Are you deaf?” Logan screamed. “I am sorry, I was trying to reminisce; I don’t think he had any grudge against anyone before he met his untimely death,” Adalyn said. “Are you sure?” Charles said. “Well, he was a lecturer. He had an issue with one professor MacPherson, sometime ago

They sauntered back into the building and came out, carrying Adriel’s remains. Dickson opened the boot, they dropped the remains inside the boot and Jeremy said, “Be cautious, Dickson; I don’t want us to be caught.” “I will,” Dickson said. He closed the boot and patted Jeremy on the back. Dickson entered the car, he wore the seat belt and started the car. He gazed at the dashboard, controlled the steering wheel and the car moved gently away from the vicinity. Jeremy waited a little bit, trailing at the car as it disappeared into the thin air; he laughed and sauntered towards Silas’ car.

How are you?” Charles said and sat down close to Peyton on the couch. “I am fine, dad,” Luca said. “What are you two doing?” Charles said and glimpsed at Luca and Peyton simultaneously. “Nothing much; just some discussions,” Peyton said. “Alright; how about Margaret?” Charles said. “ She’s taking nap. Your food is on the dining table,” Peyton said. “Alright; I think I have to go and munch it before it gets cold,” Charles said. “Yes, Charles,” Peyton said.

He wore his slippers and sauntered out of his room. “Good morning, dad,” Ayla said when she saw professor MacPherson. “Good morning, Ayla; how was the night?” professor MacPherson said. “It was fine, dad,” Ayla said.
