Archer kept staring at the door even after Lola had left. He shook his head wondering what that was all about and hoped that she wouldn't cause trouble.He started reading the papers on his desk when his phone ringtone cut through the heavy silence.He sighed as he picked it up."Hello?" he greeted,"Archer, you won't believe what I've found," Gabriel threw away all formalities.Filled with curiosity, Archer shot up from his seat, "Spill it. What did you find?""I'll send you the files. It's better if you see it for yourself," Gabriel suggested, his voice smug."Alright, send them over," Archer agreed, As he waited for the files to arrive, he gazed up at the sky and whispered a silent thank you.Within moments, the notification sound on his laptop alerted him, signaling the arrival of the files. Archer eagerly opened them, scanning through the documents Gabriel had sent. His eyes widened with each line that he read."This... this can't be true," Archer mumbled to himself, his eyes w

Archer's laughter echoed through the room, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he threw his head back.He couldn't remember the last time he had laughed like this with no care in the world."Oh my God, that was epic," he said as he slapped his knee, still laughing so hard that tears escaped his eyes.The others exchanged perplexed glances, uncertain about what had triggered the reaction.Finally regaining composure, Archer wiped a tear from his eye and faced them. He noticed the three of them staring at him. Madison stared at him with confusion while the other two stared at him with irritated gazes.All he seemed to enjoy the hell out of.Their slightly annoyed lips pulled into a pout and Marcus's hand pulled into a fist was so adorable, that Archer almost made googly eyes at it.He knew coming here armed was a good idea. Thank the heavens. Archer pursed his lips as he faced Marcus "Marcus, Marcus, those demands of yours are far-fetched. I especially love the part about giving yo

Marcus gaped and he tried to open his mouth like a fish to say something but nothing came out. No coherent words at least.All that escaped him were noises that sounded like he was choking on air."What is he talking about?" Mrs Wheeler asked Marcus. He snapped out of his trance and glared at Archer first before turning to his partner in crime."Nothing, do not listen to him. He doesn't know what he is talking about."Archer leaned in with a smirk, "Is that so?"Marcus backed up when he saw how close Archer was, and the fear in his eyes called to Archer."So you didn't embezzle money from the department account to settle the girl you had been harassing?" Archer asked innocently.Mrs. Wheeler's gasp echoed through the room, and Madison, wide-eyed, sank into a nearby chair, the shock evident on her face. "What?" Mrs Wheeler asked. Her hand pressed against her chest like she couldn't believe what she had heard.Marcus stood quickly, his body vibrating with pure anger as he sputtered an

Archer sighed. It didn't help that Madison's gaze was piercing into his skull. He made his to the chair and sank on it.He might as well give in."Well?" Madison prompted."I had someone look into him. He has been taking money for research and putting it into personal accounts then pushes others harder so they have no choice but to use their resources,""Few people complained but I never got to stick and they were accused of trying to be lazy around in their work. The ones that insisted got fired for interfering,""He has a case that almost went around but suddenly got hushed up. Turns out he used the money to settle the victim so it could be under wraps. He is into debts, a heavy amount, and could only resort to this."Madison started to talk but Archer shook his head signaling that he was not done."He cheated on his wife and she left him, ruining him hence the debts. Rumor has it that she found something incriminating.""Any idea what that is?" she asked.Archer shook his head."He

Archer woke up with a smile on his face, the anticipation he had for today had him restless.The outcome of his actions was about to be seen and for that, Archer couldn't be happier. He played upbeat music from the speaker, his voice loud as he sang along while getting ready for work. Dressed in his best work attire, he had the driver drop him at the usual spot, opting to walk the remaining distance like he does every morning.He saw the crowd of reporters that were camping in front of the building. He sighed when he realized this was the part that he hated the most.They caught sight of him and rushed forward. Microphones and cameras thrust forward, their eyes were sharp and accusatory as they zeroed in on him. "Archer, did you know your boss was a predator? How long has this been going on?" queried one persistent reporter, blocking his path.Archer smiled but he shook his head."Is it just one woman or has there been several?" another asked.Archer tried to weave their way into th

Everybody had different reactions to what Archer did. Some screamed when Marcus dropped on the floor while others the rest stepped back out of fear.Archer smiled when he saw the body snoring on the floor, he had been dreaming of doing that for a long time and life presented an opportunity. "You shouldn't have done that," Lola whispered.She was scared Marcus would sue Archer because of this. Rich men and their huge empty egos.Lola had worked hard to stay away from people like Marcus, who wanted what they couldn't have. They liked the chase and didn't care if the other party got hurt, as long as they got what they wanted."Hey, hey, how could I leave him after he said those horrible things to you?" Archer asked."But people will talk.""Let them. When are they not talking? Look at them, they chose to talk instead of save you from this embarrassment. That kind of people should not matter to you." Archer reassured her.Lola nodded, she was still petrified of the aftermath of Archer's a

Time seemed to freeze everything in place, the three parties stood frozen. Hailey's eyes were wide with shock and jealousy as she surveyed the scene in front of her.The green monster threatened to show its face but Hailey calmed it. She settled for a laugh that sounded like she was cackling.She let out a scoff as she strode in from the door to stand in the middle of the room, her eyes darting from one corner to the other.Anything to avoid looking at the scene in front of her.Archer gently released Lola, "Have a seat, and get yourself together." he patted her arm as she nodded.He pushed the bottle of water her way and nodded when she uncapped it and took a large swig."Feel better?""Lots," Lola smiled.Hailey watched the gesture with a heavy heart filled with jealousy. In her deluded mind, she thought that could be her.That was her till she ruined it. She remembered when Archer would dote on her like that because he didn't like it when she was upset.Hailey didn't want to watch

Archer had dreamed of becoming a father a father for a long time. He knew the feeling of growing up with no one to call a family and he wanted to rectify it by having his own.A dream that Hailey knew very well. He thought she was manipulating him.Archer's mind raced with disbelief as his laughter, cold and calculated, pierced the air. The sound slithered from his lips and wrapped around him like a vice, shattering his thoughts. He gently pried Hailey's hands from his, his eyes narrowing in suspicion."You think you can just waltz in here with news of pregnancy and trap me?" Archer's voice was sharp and accusing. His gaze hardened as he took a step back, creating distance between them.Hailey's eyes pleaded with him, desperation etched on her face, a look that Archer was not sure Hailey could have. "Archer, please, I'm not lying. Look at the DNA results." She pointed at the document in his hands, urging him to take another look at it.Archer scoffed another bitter sound that left
