Archer stood in front of the tall building, his head tilted up as he tried to count the floors.When Madison had announced that the presentation was today, he had freaked out. So much, that it slightly amused her.But he nodded and said he was ready, it was a good thing he had been studying for a while.Archer had gone home and spent last night combing through the details that he had missed initially He was angry that they moved it up but Madison said she suspected there was foul play for him to fail.The Incheon company lived up to its reputation, its building was imposing. Archer took a deep breath and entered.He looked around to find the lobby free of people and barely decorated. He approached the receptionist who was busy scowling at her computer."Hello," he greeted.Her smile brightened when she realized she had someone talking to her."Hello sir, how may I help you?" she asked in her preppy tone.Archer peered at her name tag, "Lucy, I am here for my appointment with the CE

Philip reluctantly lifted the phone on his desk and made a call for his executives to come to the office.He looked at Archer after the call, the latter waiting for him to speak."I am going to ignore the way you spoke to me."Archer scoffed, "That's all you are worried about? The way I spoke to you? Your pride matters more than the company you were just bragging about a few seconds ago.""You are twisting my words," Philip said."Say whatever you want. I came here to pitch, your rude attitude won't change what I am here for." Archer warned Philip.Philip was floored, he marveled at Archer's tone and guts. He was about to pour it all out when the door opened and his executives filed in."Thank you for coming on short notice, the meeting was suddenly moved up," Philip said quickly.He gave Archer a look telling him not to say anything to contradict, Archer smiled but wisely kept shut.He greeted the executives as they took their seats."Thank you,""Let's begin."Archer started again,

Archer stood in the grand foyer of his family's estate, his eyes wandering over the furnishings.He took a day off and with nothing left to do on this lazy afternoon, he turned to Gabriel, who seemed engrossed in his tablet.Archer was so bored out of his mind. He felt accomplished when he was given the days off but now he was regretting it."Hey, Gabriel," Archer called, "Is there anything else going on today?""If you are that bored, go to the gym," he teased Archer."I should have gone to work. I am tempted to rip off my hair. Please tell me if you have anything going on."Gabriel looked up, a mischievous grin playing on his lips as much as he tried to hide it. "Nothing much. But how about I show you the ropes of our family's business empire? It's about time you get acquainted with it."Archer raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "I guess today is a good day as any. I might as well have the opportunity. Alright, lead the way."They drove silently till they got to a huge building. Gabriel

Archer rushed to the Incheon building door, he met the same receptionist who smiled at him and waved him to the door.He took the elevator and got to Philip's office.He pushed the door open, intending to express his anger at being called in during his day off, but his steps faltered as he saw Jack comfortably settled in a chair like he owned the place.Archer gritted his teeth.Philip looked up from his desk, a hint of a smile on his lips as he observed Archer. "Archer, meet Jack. He is a good friend of mine."Jack gave Archer a smug smile as he held out his hand, Archer shook it.Archer looked at Philip to continue, "He's got a proposal that might just blow your current deal out of the water." Philip said.Jack with a smug smile on his face said. " Philip here has been kind enough to consider my alternative proposal."Archer, though caught off guard, maintained his neutral expression. "What's this alternative proposal that's causing such a stir?"Philip leaned back in his chair, atte

Archer went home, he was happy and excited to have finally closed the deal a second time.He hated Jack for putting him in that position, Jack was nothing but a weasel. He liked to weasel himself in everything or every situation that would benefit him.Things like this made Archer wonder what Hailey saw in Jack. He removed his shirt and flopped on the bed as a tired breath escaped him.In his dilemma, he had forgotten to call Gabriel to tell him that he had gone home. Archer closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep....Done with resting after his second day off, Archer prepared to go to work the next morning.He had his shower and grabbed his shirt when his phone rang, Archer sighed and picked it up.His shoulder became straight when he saw the manager's name written on the screen, and he accepted the call."Hello, sir?""You insolent jerk! How dare you?" the manager yelled over the phone.Archer removed the device close to his ears and looked at it in surprise. "I am confused," he

The manager immediately knelt, "No, please. I have a family, please don't fire me."Madison scowled down at him, "Get up while I am being nice." she warned them.The manager stayed still, waiting for Madison to change her mind but the scowl on her face wasn't going anywhere."Please, I won't do it again." he pleaded. This time, he was holding onto her leg and his eyes were filled with tears.Archer resisted the urge to laugh at the pathetic display the manager was putting up, he covered his mouth with his hand and simply watched.Madison shook her head, her gaze cutting to Mrs Wheeler who kept glaring at her. She returned a glare with one of her own."Got something to say?" she asked.Mrs Wheeler let out a laugh, "Are you firing us on what grounds?""Are you asking because you don't know or you just don't have anything to say?" Madison replied.Mrs Wheeler kept mute, she looked at Archer who was smiling to himself this whole time."Come on, Archer," Madison ordered. She walked out and

Archer nodded calmly after Madison admitted it was Hailey. He clenched his jaw in anger."Thank you for telling me," he said. "I will be going now."Archer stormed out of the office, his blood boiling with rage as it fueled him. Madison ran after him.Madison's footsteps echoed through the corridor as she sprinted after Archer, surprised that he had walked this far. "Archer, wait!" she called, reaching him just before he reached the elevator. Grabbing his hand, she pleaded, "Don't do anything rash."Archer's eyes were blank but there was something so clear in them, rage.Archer nodded, his jaw clenched. "I Won't."Madison didn't believe him but she let him go. He left. Archer hailed a cab to confront Hailey at her job.As soon as Archer entered the building, Madison's words echoed in his mind. "Don't do anything rash." He located Hailey's office and, with a deep breath, knocked on the door.Hailey looked up, surprised to see him. "Archer? What are you doing here?"His gaze was pier

Archer froze as Hailey pressed to his. His eyes widened but he made no move to push her away.His body became numb as he wondered what she was thinking. He never expected it and his body's reaction to it was so slow that one would think he was resigned to the kiss.The door creaked open, revealing Jack's stern expression. Archer swiftly pushed Hailey away, wiping his lips with a disgusted look. Jack's gaze narrowed as he assessed the situation. "Was it your plan all along?" Archer asked, his tone laced with aggression.Hailey stumbled back, her eyes wide with surprise at Jack's presence. Archer narrowed his eyes between the two.Jack stalked towards them in anger, his fists visibly clenched by his sides as he approached.He got into Archer's face with a threatening look written all over his."Madison wasn't enough for you, hug?" he asked.Archer furrowed his brows in confusion as he tried to understand where Jack was going with his question."What?""Don't play me for a fool, Archer
