At exactly 06:00 am in the morning Olivia and Charles were already set and prepared to go and submit a proposal for the petrochemical and agro allied project contract deal with Megan's group.All through the night, Olivia has been restless, without sleeping.She was up all through writing and discarding project proposals.Charles was equally awake, keeping her company while she drafted the proposal.He was there encouraging and cheering her up. “You can do it dear. My conviction about your success is certain and I trust your abilities!”“Are you sure that I can do this, Charles?”“Yes dear. I have never been more certain and sure about anything than I'm in this. Trust me, you're going to win it and shame those fools in the end.”“Alright then. Please help me go through this proposal.”She then passed the pages of the proposal which she had drafted over to him.Charles went through the proposal and said, “wonderful! This is very fantastic and superb! With this proposal, you've won the
Olivia was carrying a file containing the written proposal when they arrived at Megan's group.Standing in front of the one hundred and fifty (150) - story building, Olivia suddenly felt as if her heart was hollow and empty.How could such a magnificent company like Megan's group which is the number one company in Great Britain collaborate with the Marcus family? Not to mention that they were aiming for a hundred million dollars deal!It was like a beggar approaching a wealthy man and asking for a hundred million dollars change. It was absolutely ridiculous.However, she had promised her grandmother and accepted the challenge in front of everyone, so she had to go no matter what…Sensing her anxiety, Charles robbed her head tenderly with his temple and said, “Dear, don't worry, go ahead, you will make it. Trust me.”He cajoled her and added, “remember that my fate lies in your hand right now. You're the one who would determine whether I will become Jack and Tim's slaves for one month
In that moment, abrupt and outlandish thoughts appeared in Olivia's mind.That Mr Walker that Scarlett told her of - could he really be her husband, Charles Walker?No way, wake up from your day-dreaming, Olivia she muttered to herself!She found the outlandish thoughts of Charles Walker being the Mr Walker who Scarlett Sage was talking about to be so preposterous after processing it for a while.How could it be!Charles was an orphan who lived and grew up in the welfare home!However, who else in the whole world would treat her so well like this beside Charles Walker?She recalled how Charles used to care for her and even protected her from dangers during her university days at Swansea and was gladden in her heart.Hundred million dollar deal was an extravagant hope and a mission impossible, but they gave her a one hundred and fifty million dollars contract.She couldn't help but asked curiously, “Miss Sage, please may I know if your chairman is Charles Walker?”Scarlett’s heart skip
Jack refused to accept the reality.He didn't believe that Olivia got the contract even with the documents she presented as evidence. He shouted loudly, “she must have forged the documents! I don't believe that she can handle Megan Group!”“Jack is right!” Lily added in extreme frustration. “Who does she think she is to strike a deal with Megan Group? That Megan Group terminated our Grand's Group proposed collaboration when I and my husband, Luca went their the other time, saying we aren't worthy of partnering with them! It is a hundred million dollar project! If she can do it, I would have gotten the project a long time ago and Luca would have sealed up the collaboration proposal between Grand Group and Megan Group as well at ease!”“My cousin sister, you are wrong with the project amount. It is not hundred million but one hundred and fifty million dollars!” Olivia sniggered.Luca has been listening and watching the facades stuttered. “ No - No way! Olivia, you're not even a good lia
Immediately, Jack grimaced his face in disdain and said, “you and who had a bet and what was the bet all about?”Although Jack still remembers the bet and its dictates, he pretended as if he had never gone into any bet with Charles.Of course, he has not forgotten the dictates of their bet. ‘Whoever loses must either address the other party as his father and become his servant or divorce his wife if he's married and or bring curse upon his grandmother, father, mother and his entire siblings if he rescinds in keeping the promise!’Olivia had won the contract which means that he has lost the bet to Charles but it is a no deal! He will never honor such a bet.How can he call that loser and nobody his father and even become his servant. It would be even better for him to die than to address him as his father.No! No way! That wasn't going to happen!“Tim, did we enter into any bet with this loser?” Jack asked his accomplice, hoping to get support.“I didn't enter into any bet with anybody
“Grandma…..”Jack and his accomplice were truly frightened now, because it was clear to them that lady Marcus was actually apoplectic!Seeing that Jack and Tim were being reluctant in keeping to their vow that involved herself in order to salvage their face from shame, Lady Marcus slapped her hand on the table aggressively and yelled, “are all of you determined to break your oath now?”“Grandma, I …” Jack stuttered loathly. He speedily made the following deductions in his mind.If he honored the betting rules and admitted his defeat to Charles, he would lose only his face in the family and before the people who were present in that conference room.But if he went against the betting terms and conditions and enraged his grandmother, he would lose everything he had in the Marcus family!He would lose more than his face!It would be better for him to become a servant in his own family than to lose them entirely and everything he had got.Since Charles had said earlier that they would be
“Tim, Wait. W-what do you mean? Are you for real? Do you really want to divorce me?” Margaret cried and asked panickingly. “Y - Yes, dear. I mean every word I have said. I can't call him my father, let alone become his slave in the form of a servant!” Tim turned and responded to Margaret who was bitterly crying out her life. “Grandma, have you seen what this useless and good-for-nothing Charles had caused? Please, stop him from pushing Tim into divorcing me!” Olivia said scornfully, “Charles my dear and super husband has done nothing wrong here. He isn't pushing Tim into divorcing you my dear cousin sister! Instead, your Tim, is just respecting his bet with my husband and has chosen himself over his relationship with you!” She was happy with the turn of events! Earlier, these people were taunting and doubting her abilities. They even went into betting with her husband hoping to mock him over her failure but right now all of them are facing the most painful disgrace of their o
Everyone was startled in shock hearing Luca's appeal to Olivia. Lily could not bear the scene and she shouted, “Luca, what are you saying? Do you really mean to give her a Ferrari sports car and a two hundred thousand dollar check? Isn't that too much for this useless cousin of mine and her stupid and trashy husband?” Luca answered her shortly with a tone of anger in his voice. “Yes, and what's wrong with my giving her a two hundred thousand dollar check and a Ferrari sports car? Aren't you the person who pushed me into doubting Olivia's abilities thereby making such a vow trusting your statement and bragging to be true?!” Luca's reactions and response to Lily iced the hatred Charles had on him earlier. He initially wanted all of these inconsiderate and very annoying individuals to taste their cup of humiliation. But, from Luca's tone, pitches and actions, it was crystal clear that he was now being remorseful for doubting his wife. He robbed his temple on Olivia and whispered
