Archer walked away from there before anger got the better part of him. He was furious with Hailey for saying all that when she had him all along and threw him out in the streets, literally.Or did she finally forget how much she suffered when she got her new boyfriend Jack? Archer was so mad.Although he had no idea if he was mad at Hailey or himself. He walked near the water as memories threatened to explode in his head.It all concluded a time in his life where he was happy, where all he wanted to do was keep the smile on his face so bad that he was willing to do anything to achieve that.Archer smiled, the only part that terrified him the most was that he would never experience that kind of love and happiness in his life again.Not that he had tried to look for. Between Hailey and finding out he was the heir to his grandfather's empire, Archer had no time for love.His purpose is to enact revenge on all those who had wronged him. He kicked a pebble with his leg into the water.Arch
Hailey opened her mouth to defend herself but she deflated, she couldn't bring herself to lie about it anymore.She was going to hide it and wait till she got to a better place with Archer before telling Jack."I was going to tell you after I told Archer," she said quietly as she hugged herself."Somehow, I don't believe that.""I am honest, I didn't want to bother you with such tales."Jack hummed to himself, "I take it that Archer is the father?" he asked.Hailey nodded, "Yes."There was silence before Jack let out a humorless laugh."How long have you been cheating on me with Archer?" he asked.Archer stumbled back from shock at the question. His ability to eavesdrop had gotten better after the last time.He had been standing there for a while and he had yet to make a sound."I am sorry," Hailey said."You are sorry? You are sorry? For what exactly?" Jack snapped.Hailey flinched but she maintained her ground, "I am sorry for hurting you.""You slept with that fool?" Jack asked mo
For a week, Archer poured all his focus into his work and avoided everyone.A dark cloud loomed around him the whole week, even his colleagues knew and avoided him.He was on a warpath, he terrorized them to get their work done on time and made many corrections. They were groaning and expressing their displeasure but Archer couldn't care less.He almost threatened them to drop out or quit instead of moaning at the work or if they couldn't handle a little competition.Even Lola almost tore her head off when he sat criticizing her work. He has rejected every single thing she had brought him.Archer sat in his office listening to the interview going on.Archer has closed the HK Haibu deal, and the media covered it because the owner said he wanted to show the world that he had joined hands with Sky Corporation.It was a happy moment. The board called him up again and this time, they had good things to say about him. They were over the moon that they teased him with another promotion.Arc
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Lola chorused in his chest."What did I do now? You finished the project. I should be thanking you.""That's not it,""Then what?"Lola looked up at Archer with a smile, "If it wasn't for you, the others wouldn't respect me the way I wanted.""You got their respect because they know you deserved it."Lola shook her head, that stubborn glint setting in her eyes."Everybody avoided me and talked behind my back. But thanks to you, they stopped."Archer furrowed his brows, "I didn't do anything."Lola pinned him with a glare, "Don't play dumb. I know that you warned everyone in the office."Archer sighed as the memory hit him.He had walked in to drop some files for the team leaders. when he overheard Lola's name being mentioned.They were snickering and saying a lot of things that he should have left alone. It wasn't the first time and it wouldn't be the last.Archer wanted to ignore the way those girls kept cackling and snickering to themselves like th
Eric stepped up, "it was something, you didn't have to do it. Hell, you don't even like me but you defended me when nobody would."Archer remained mute.He had no idea what he wanted to say to this. Granted that they didn't start on the right foot.Eric was a hardworking, overly ambitious person and he needed to be taken down a notch but having the people who once looked up to him sneer down at him must have been hard."And I am sorry for being awful to you. I have to admit, I was a little jealous because the manager seemed to pick on you. I thought that his way of giving you special treatment."Archer snorted, "I assure you that it wasn't.""I can see that. I was just too far deep to pull my head out of his ass." Eric said.Archer nodded.Eric turned to Lola, "I am sorry I didn't defend you because I laughed when you were being assaulted. That was very shitty of me."Lola smiled, "Thank you."Archer cleared his throat, "Now that is out of the way, let's continue,"Archer brought out
Archer shook his head at his colleague's antiques, they were all drunk out of their mind.He turned to Lola, "Hey, I am going."Lola pouted, "But you just got here,""It's been four hours," Archer reminded her.Lola's eyes widened and she looked around like she just realized where she was."Oh,""Want me to call a cab for you?" Archer asked,Lola shook her head, "No, I will hitch a ride with someone here."Archer nodded and stood, he headed out to the parking lot.He took out his phone to call the driver when he stopped short at the sight of an angry Jack standing in front of him."Get out of my way," he calmly told Jack."Shut up," Jack snarled at him.Archer took a step back to be studied, by Jack. He appeared to be tipsy and out of sorts. Archer sighed knowing it was going to be hard to get rid of him."Are you drunk?" he asked."I said shut up!" Jack yelled.He pointed a finger at Archer, his eyes blazing with anger."You are such a shameless liar,""Pray tell, what did I lie abo
Archer tapped his finger against his wrist as he waited for Ferguson. He invited the man to his office for a conversation.After everything Gabriel had to say, Archer had to see firsthand what he was talking about.He couldn't sleep last night. He spent the night combing through the files Gabriel gave him and things were more interesting than Marcus's file.It even confirmed the thing Archer knew.The door to his office opened and the frown on his face deepened when Ferguson entered the office.Ferguson looked around like he would rather be elsewhere."Nice office, " he muttered to Archer."Thank you,""What am I doing here?" he asked Archer as he looked around the office with disdain, "I am a busy man and I have things to do.""I understand sir," Archer gestured for him to sit down.Ferguson reluctantly sat down as he grumbled, "I don't even know why I came here.""I am sorry for bringing you out here," Archer said."Make it quick," Ferguson snapped.Archer smiled to himself. He had
