Four sets of eyes swung to Archer with shock, “what?” “You heard me, release it. Let me save you the trouble of having to wait for an hour,” “Are you sure?” Archer scoffed, “you thought I would crack under pressure? Was that the reason for shortening the time to suit your needs?” “Archer,” Alicia started to talk, “Shut up,” he snapped. Archer stood up and pointed at them, “I am not sure you thought this true? Am I the only one who uses my brain for what it is used,” “Do not insult us, Archer. Don’t forget we have the upper hand in this case.” Powell snapped. Archer was livid, but he chose not to show it. His lips pulled back in a snarl as he stared at Powell. “I thought you were going to hide behind Allen forever? He is the spokesman, correct? He pulls your strings and tell you which side you will face, right?” “Stop it,” “Or what? You will release the video? I have given you the permission to do that so go ahead.” “You would rather risk your reputation to damage
Archer has always valued himself on being ten steps ahead of the average business man. He wasn’t surprised when Gabriel admitted to bugging the whole house. He told Archer the reason was because nobody was to be trusted. After the whole thing with Charlene, Gabriel was disappointed that he had let her into the house. But it showed that she never did anything to rouse suspicions in the house. But that didn’t stop Gabriel from being neurotic with controlling every aspect of the house. He said it made him feel better about who was coming into the house. When he handed Archer the flash drive. He told Archer to make sure he put all of them in jail. Archer went to his office at first and watched it alone. Relief seeping into his with each minute that passed as he watched it. The smile on his face grew because he knew, with this he could defend himself. He could bury those sons of bitches who thought they could ruin his reputation with something that they cooked up. Archer made co
Archer looked at the two of them confused that they were making a fuss. “You put the Barrington in jail?” Charles asked. Archer sighed and turned to the man, “can I please get an officer? I am not comfortable with him,” Charles frowned but the man just waved it away, “he is the best we have, I am sorry.” “Okay,” The man left them and Charles struggled with what to say. “I owe you an apology,” he started. Archer didn’t say anything and allowed him to stumble over his words because he was not making it easy for him at all.“I am sorry that I judged you wrongly, it was unfair of me.”“I don’t need your sentiments, officer. I need action and let’s not pretend that the only reason why you are apologizing to me is because you heard what your superior said,”Charles frowned, “are you always this difficult?”“To assholes who look down on me? Yes. Would you have preferred I look down on you?”“I already apologized,”“It is not enough for the way you treated me. I bet if it was vice vers
Archer easily side stepped Allen as he lunged at him but that didn’t deter the man. He tried to hit Archer but he got held back by his friends. “Stop that, Allen. He is not worth it,” Greenfidge pleaded with him. Archer shook his head and chuckled, “No, let him. His anger is justified but either way, he is going to jail.” He turned to Allen, “go ahead, hit me.” Allen fumed but the fight had gone out of him, he pointed his finger at Archer instead, “You idiot, do you realize what you have done?” “I am not sure, could you explain?” “You think sending us to jail would give you access to our business? Think again,” Archer only scoffed, “you think I have an interest in your business? It means nothing to me right now, Allen. You and your idiotic friends can rot in hell and I still wouldn’t touch your business. However, Alexa and her mother would happily take it off your hands,” Powell gaped at him, “you are giving our business to that woman?” “That woman is your partner’s wife, yo
Madison broke down on the ground crying as she watched Archer’s car zoom off. She stayed there for some minutes before standing up, she reached for her phone and texted Alexa to meet her at the house.Her tears were still coming down like a waterfall, she knew it wouldn’t be easy to convince Archer to give her a chance but it was worth a try.She didn’t realize how brutal he would be to her even though she deserved it. She managed to walk to her car and enter before leaving.When Madison alighted the car, Alexa was already standing in front of her front door with a sad smile.“I take it that it didn’t go well?” She asked.Madison nodded sadly and started to unlock the door, they both entered inside and she flopped onto the couch with a dramatic sigh.“I can’t believe this,”“What exactly are you not believing?”“You should have seen the way he acted like I meant nothing to him. I was trying to talk to him and he left me there.”Alexa’s face softened, “oh honey, I told you not to expe
Madison took a deep breath as soon as she got to the door. The flowers in her hands were fresh and also Archer’s favorite. It sucked that this was the first time she was giving him flowers but she hoped he didn’t take it the wrong way. After the talk with Alexa the previous day, she realized she needed to put in an effort if she was going to get her man back. He was angry because he still loved her and that was something that gave her hope. She raised her hand to knock when Lydia snuck up behind her, “what are you doing?” Madison was startled and dropped her hand, she looked behind to see Lydia who was looking at her like she had gone crazy, “um, I came to see Archer.” Lydia nodded and moved to go away, “okay, go ahead.” She had files she was carrying and started walking away when Madison sighed, she figured if she couldn’t get to Archer then she should at least make peace with Lydia. “Lydia, wait. Can we talk?” She asked. Lydia stopped in her tracks, “I am a bit busy,
Madison tilted her head, “I called you a coward,” Archer chucked and stepped away from her hold, “you are trying to make me angry but I am onto you, let go.” “No, you are a coward. So what if I made one mistake? How long are you going to punish me for it?” Archer narrowed his eyes. “A mistake? You call what you did a mistake? Madison, you called me a cheat, broke up with me and checked out of our friendship. If that’s what you call a mistake then I don’t want to find out what you do when you betray someone,” “I did not betray you,” she mumbled. “Of course you didn’t. You did worse,” he said. Madison deflated, “Archer, I didn’t come here to fight with you. I came to talk but you are not making it easy for me. Just please, hear me out.” Archer seemed to think about it before he stepped closer to her, letting her see the hurt in his eyes. She flinched, She didn’t know what to say again and he scoffed. “Now that you have my attention, you have nothing to say? When are you going
New York was great and Lydia bounced in her seat, filled with excitement at visiting a new place. Archer watched her carefully after telling her almost ten times to relax but she was too filled with energy. Archer didn’t tell Madison where he was going but Lydia did, after Madison apologized to her, she has been soft towards her so she told Madison where they were going. Archer unfolded his tablet and started working, he was going to acquire a new company and he needed to learn as much as he could from the dossier his executives gave him. It was a full research on the company and their employees including their executives. He had promised his board to come back with good news. “Is there anything I can do for you, Sir?” A hostess asked. Archer shook his head and turned to Lydia. “Do you want anything?” Lydia shook her head as she bounced around in her seat, “no,” she giggled. The hostess walked away and Archer arched a brow, “would you relax? You are making this whole t
