"You look happy," Sylvester said once he stepped out of his car to hug his friend. Archer rolled his eyes but he smiled regardless, "I am just happy Arthur's problem is dealt with," "Yeah me too, how do you feel about it?" Archer shrugged, "I was a bit sad but I am consoled by the fact that I saw it coming and stopped it," "Come on, I heard this new place is great, but I am sure whatever the reason for that glow is better," Archer groaned, he was beginning to regret calling Sylvester out but he had no choice. He had to talk to somebody about this whole thing between him and Charlene. They haven't spoken since that day mostly because he had been busy but also because he wasn't sure what to say to her. They let them in and took them to a table, Archedr smiled when Sylvester made googly eyes at the menu, "Do you ever think about anything other than food?" Sylvester shook his head, "No," They chuckled, and Archer looked for a way to talk to Sylvester without sounding lame but bef

Charlene was surprised to see the flowers on her desk. Her eyes were wide but a smile played on her lips.“Miriam!” She called in her assistant, “who is it from?”Miriam shrugged, “there is a card on it,”Charlene walked to her desk and took the note, she was extremely happy to find out that it was from Archer.She held the card to her chest and giggled to herself,“So he has a romantic bone in him,” she mumbled to herself as she read the card. He asked her out for dinner and for once, Charlene was all smiles.A throat cleared from behind and she spun, suddenly embarrassed that she was caught behaving like a teenage school girl in the middle of her office.“Mr Roberts,” she said,Her boss, Roberts narrowed his eyes at her then at the flowers,“What is that?”Charlene controlled herself, “it's from a client, he was thanking me for the case,”The man looked slightly suspicious but he didn't say anything else. He stepped into the office and took a seat.“There is a dinner I would like us

Charlene was not all that suprised to see Roberts in her office the next day, he figured he would have a lot to say to her concerning the case she was taking on,"I trust you know what this case can do to the firm," he started as he stood in front of her desk."I am aware of that, but I still need to talk to Daniels for more details,"Roberts shook his head, "No, you are taking it regardless of the details or not,"Charlene frowned, "With all due respect, Sir. You are not about to tell me how to do my job, I will hear the details and get the information I need then I will decide If I should take this case or not,""I am telling you, that would bring more spotlight firm," he argued,"So you keep saying but you are not hearing me, I will not take the risk of disappointing my clients or endangering my reputation for this," she fumed.Roberts rolled his eyes, "You forget that you have the said reputation because of this firm. The same firm you are turning your back on,""You give yourself

The servers were down and the whole company was in turmoil, there has been chaos and most of it descended on Archer's head.Right now, he was trying to listen to three people talking at once."Sir, nothing is working. We have tried and at this point our business would crash alongside with our files," a frantic man said tot him."He is right, we are working blind right now and that is not good,"Archer shook his head, "I am aware of the problem but our IT team is working on it. Just exercise patience and the system would be back on track."They didn't seem convinced but he had done his part, Archer walked to the IT department and saw them scrambling, they snapped to attention when they saw him,"How did this happen?" he asked,"We have no idea, we were working when Chad got an email from you and clicked on it. The next thing we knew, our systems were scrambled,"Archer could not believe his ears, "So, you got an email from me through an unauthorized email address and you clicked on it?

Archer woke up with a pounding headche, he tried to remember what happened but it was fuzzy and the back of his head was sore.He touched and gasped when he brought his hand back just to see the blood pooled in his hands. He managed to stand after stumbling a few times. He looked around with hazy eyes but he couldn't for the life of him figure out where he was.He reached for his phone but it was nowhere around him, his car was not with him either. It was a long deserted road with no signs of humans.Archer started walking to God knows where hoping that someone would miraculously pass by and save him but for now, he had to get out of here.The more he walked, the longer the road became.Archer let out a loud scream that drained him, he fell to the floor and laid there.He heard the sound of a car coming towards him but he made no move to get up, he was tired and there was nothing he could do except lie and wait to see if the driver is a good samaritan.Archer heard the car stop and th

"Eat," Gabriel gestured to Archer,Archer frowned and looked to Lydia, "I thought you said you told him not to make a fuss?"Lydia looked bashful,"It didn't work,"Archer laughed a little and shook his head, he looked at Charlene who was eating quietly, "Charlene, are you alright?"She nodded but he didn't look convinced, not having the energy to deal with drama right now,"What are you thinking so hard about?" Gabriel asked,Charlene smiled, "I am thinking about a case, I have a strange client who I am yet to come to terms with his case. Everything looks fishy,""What about him?" Lydia asked,Charlene shook her head, "I am not at liberty to discuss my clients,"Lydia nodded, "That's okay, I was just wondering where we could help,"It made Charlene more confused, she wanted to help him. Does Lydia know that she slept with Archer? The guilt was beginning to eat at her."Same with me, I had a very disturbing meeting today,""Oh yeah, the one you wanted to tell me about?" Charlene asked,

Three days later,Roberts stormed into Charlene's office, his face twisted into a scowl. Charlene sighed and prepared herself for the worse.He waved a piece of paper in her face, "What is the meaning of this rubbish?""Meaning of what?""You told Daniel that you won't be representing him?" he asked,"Oh that, yes I did. I carefully read through and the winning rate is very low, I cannot risk it,""What do you mean? You are the best one to help him,"She shook her head, "Roberts, I understand that you want the best for your client but I am telling you. It is a dead end,""I don't believe you, you have been adamant about not taking the case and now you are telling me you won't try?""I am not putting my career on the line for your friend," Charlene sneered,"My friend, I don't know what gave you that idea but he is someone who is going to pump in a lot of money in this..."Charlene stood up, "Oh cut the crap, do not stand there and lie to me like I am a child. Why do you think he wants

Charlene stood up immediately,"What are you doing here?"Daniel kept smiling as he shrugged, "That is not a way to welcome a client,""I don't care. Please leave,""Now, why the hell would I do that? You said you will get back to me on my case,"Charlene scoffed, the look on his face was deranged. She wondered if he had a hard time comprehending her words."I already told you, I am not working on it,""That is not an answer I want to hear, Charlene. Look at me, I am not a man people usually say no to,""Yeah, is that why those girls went missing?" she snapped,His grin widened but he was shocked, his eyes got wider. Charlene prayed within her that he leaves before Archer comes to her office. The last thing she wanted was to witness a brawl."I see you did your research,"That made her mad, her nostrils flared."Is there a reason why you people are surprised that I would do that before I accept a case?" she asked,"Maybe, we were hoping you were one of the dumb ones,""Sorry to disapp

Archer didn’t think he would ever see someone surprise him but he had to fight right now to pick his jaw off the floor.“Your father?” He mused and turned to Madison, “I thought you didn’t have parents,”“You sound surprised, boy. Looks like you have seen a ghost,” Royal teased him.Madison looked at the both of them suspiciously, “I don’t know him but my mother showed me a picture of him before she left me. I can’t ever forget his face,” her eyes narrowed, “do you know each other?”“Something like that,” Archer said as he rubbed his temple.He didn’t think in his wildest dreams that Royal would look for him too soon much less on his engagement. He gritted his teeth at that.“Perfect, now that you didn’t seek to get my blessings, what are we going to do about that?” Royal asked.Madison’s hand slipped away from Archer’s as she advanced on her father with that fury in her eyes, “blessings? You want him to ask for your blessings when you have never been a father to me? What crack are yo

It wasn’t surprising to hear the words come out of his mouth. He knew he wanted to marry her a long time ago but now that he said it, he was so sure. The tightening in his chests disappeared and his arch nemesis became the least of his problems as he processed the best way to make Madison agree to marry him. Archer remembered standing up and walking away, leaving Damien sitting there. He remembered entering the car and driving back to his hotel. The rest was so blur and before he knew it, he was back in his house. Under the shower to gather his thoughts, he had Royal after him and now, he wanted to make Madison fully his. Despite their ups and downs, he had never stopped loving her. She was meant for him and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Damien hummed in response, “I see. I have heard of him but we haven’t crossed paths,” “Yeah, he is always careful not to be seen all the time. He is like a ghost.” “It looks like your old buddy is looking for you, I don’t know why though.” Kei said. Archer shook his head, “I know why, I stole from him years ago.” “You did what?” Damien almost yelled. Archer shrugged, “it’s not much but to him it’s a sign of disrespect. I had to survive and the best way to do it was with a little help,” “What happened to you?” Kei asked, “I was under the impression that you magically blew into a rich heir overnight,” “I wish that was true,” Archer scoffed, “I did things I wasn’t proud of but I don’t regret anything. I was a child with no parents and no money, I had no problems stealing even if it meant I don’t starve to death.” “We are not judging you, Archer. I didn’t get to where I am right now without a little sin or two. I am just curious as to why you didn’t stay with him,” Damien

Nine year old Archer walked along the streets, hungry and tired. His eyes were drooping close like he might drop down on the dirty floor. For days, he had walked this alleyway. Searching for something to eat, anything at all. The only money he had was left for emergency in case he fell sick which he wasn’t far from right now. He stopped beside a dumpster and leaned his head against it, just five minutes and he would be alright. His eyes closed but not before he begged for a savior, the saying be careful what you wish for was right in that sense. A boot kicked him after an hour and his eyes flew open, there in front of him were three men with snarls on their faces. It didn’t register at first till Archer sat up quickly, bumping his head against the dumpster and wincing. The men looked at me before they burst into laughter, “look what we found, did a cat get lost?” “No, I just wanted to sleep,” Archer had said. They frowned before one reached out and slapped him, the force o

Archer and Damien gaped at the Korean heir like he was out of his mind. Kei just continued to sip his tea like he didn’t just drop a bomb on them.“I am sorry, what?” Archer asked just to be sure.“I said, he was acting on my orders. You don’t think there would be an imposter running around without my knowledge, that would be a bad look on me,”“So, you sent him to me?” Archer questioned.Damien was still looking between them, “Kei, what is this?”“I couldn’t help myself. I was curious to know about the friend you sang praises for, and since I had to test him, that’s why I sent him?”Archer chuckled, “this is crazy. This is fucking crazy, I cannot believe you are testing me. What do you have to test me for? If you were tired of hearing about me from Damien , then you should have asked him to stop talking about me.”Kei shook his head, “way before that, I have always heard about you. I knew we would do business together but I needed to be sure that I could trust you and finding a way t

Settled in a nice hotel, Archer took a shower and tried to relax. The brunch was tomorrow and he needed his wits to get through it.His phone rang and he picked it up, smiling already.“Why the hell have you been ignoring me?” Madison barked.She was pacing in her office and mad out of her mind at the sort of prank her boyfriend was pulling. She was tempted to fly out there and give him a piece of her mind but she had work to do.She had a reason for staying back here like she said.“Madison, I have been on a flight for hours and only just got to the hotel, I am exhausted,”“You are, aren’t you? What made you so tired? The girl giving you a blow job?”“Was it? I don’t remember,”“Archer, that isn’t funny. Please tell me you are joking,”“Come to New York and find out then,” he taunted.Madison chuckled, “all this because I said I wasn’t coming? You are acting like a baby,”“Okay, if you say so. I am sure the hostess that followed me to my room disagrees with me. But sure, anything you

It didn’t take long for Damien to contact Archer for the brunch. Archer was on his way to New York to meet with them. All his meetings have been canceled and his schedule cleared, he wanted to meet the man before he could begin his investigations. Archer frowned when he noticed new hostesses on his private plane, he didn’t notice that Lydia had hired new people. He made himself comfortable and frowned when one sauntered up to him with a sultry smile, “Can I get you anything, sir?” Archer nodded, “a bottle of water, please.” She nodded and walked away, returning with a bottle of water and ice. She leaned a little too closely to pour it for him. Archer leaned back when the scent of her perfume wafted into his nose. He scrunched his face and waited, “Would that be all?” She asked with that same smile. “Yes,” She walked away. He took out his laptop and started working. He had a conference call scheduled with an investor. Just a minute more to go. The laptop screen came alive an

Archer made good on his word.The next morning, he went straight to Madison’s company and into Benedict’s office. The man was bent over his desk reading something and mumbling to himself.Archer was glad there was no receptionist to announce his visits so he snuck in to the office and leaned against the wall.He wondered what got the man’s attention that he didn’t notice that someone was with him.“Nice view,” he said.Benedict shot up so fast with wide eyes when he saw Archer standing there, his face shuttered with anger as he glared at his visitor.“What the hell are you doing here and how did you bypass security?” He demanded. Archer rolled his eyes, “you are kidding me, right? You have forgotten who owned the company first, I am no stranger here which is why I know you were not part of the executives I had before,”He walked to the desk and sat down , Benedict slowly lowered himself back to his chair.“What do you want?”“I want to know how well you know your son to think I kille
