Hailey looked around and saw that Archer was serious. His expression had darkened and it looked like the only thing keeping him away from her was the table. She turned and fled, closing the door behind her.Hailey took a deep breath and leaned against the door. She closed her eyes in an attempt to shut out the world for a moment. It was too much. For a second, she thought Archer would throttle her. She had never seen him angry no matter what she did previously.A tear escaped and traced a path down her cheek. Instinctively, she wiped it away, determined to not let anyone see her vulnerability.The unmistakable clicking of heels echoed as they drew closer to her, Hailey's heart raced as she realized she wasn't alone. Panic set in, urging her to compose herself before whoever it was saw her like that. Satisfied with her pep talk, She straightened up, took another deep breath, and opened her eyes, hoping to mask whatever emotions she had displayed.A voice, smooth and composed, cut th

Hailey ran out of there faster than Madison could say her name. Madison laughed till she was out of sight.She quickly composed herself and knocked on Archer's door, she pushed the door open when she heard him mumble, "Come in,"Madison tried so hard not to grin at her victory over Hailey. She had stopped herself from confronting her when Archer had shut her out but after today, she was glad she didn't.She gave Archer a questioning look when she saw Archer hunched over his desk. Madison cleared her throat, bracing herself for the worst.To her surprise, Archer was fine when he raised his head. His brows were still furrowed in concentration over whatever he was reading."What can I help you with?" he asked."Are you done avoiding me?" Madison asked, she gave him a pointed look which she ignored."I wasn't avoiding you," Archer said."Yes, you were. How would you explain how you ran out of my office the other day?""We were having a meeting. I had people waiting for me.""You ignored

"She invited me over to the beach to preach about peace and I was a damn fool for letting myself be fooled for even a second.""it's not your fault," Madison chirped in."Let me finish. I had no idea she had invited Jack for the same obvious reasons. I had walked away when she started proposing the idea of being together again. I came back when I had cooled off, ready to forgive her and be civil with her. She apologized to him too. He asked her if she had been sleeping with me all this while and she said yes.""Oh,""Yeah, I felt like such an idiot standing there and listening to them. For weeks, she pleaded and begged me to meet with her. I gave in with just the thought that I needed to put it behind me and prepare for the worst.""You had no choice, you thought she was carrying your child," Madison said.Archer shook his head, "But that's not it. I knew it wasn't mine but a foolish part of me hoped it would be. Even though there was no chance of it happening."Pity entered Madison's

Madison nodded, "Okay, we would keep being the fools, and see how long he plays his game." Archer nodded, "thank you," She stood up and made her way out, she turned at the last minute, "Are you going to do anything about Hailey?" Madison inquired, her eyes concealing the thoughts she felt.Shaking his head, Archer replied with a heavy sigh, "No, I'm going to do nothing." Madison nodded and made her way out of the room. The door closed softly behind her, leaving Archer alone with his thoughts.Archer ran a hand over his weary face. The day had been a total mess, and the fatigue seemed to seep into his bones.If he had known that calling both of them would cause this site of stress, he would have waited till he was ready.His eyes were heavy, he attempted to close his eyes and steal a quick nap. His phone rang with a quick message and he sighed and reached for his phone. Madison's text flashed across the screen, urging him to check the news. It read, I told you we would get our time

Grinning to himself as he sat behind the bigger man, Archer waited patiently. It's been an hour since they have been waiting for Jack. Was he pissed off? No. But it felt good to have the other complain about their CEO's punctuality despite the backlash their company was facing. Archer looked up when Jack breezed in, his face deviod of anything. "I am sorry, I was so caught up." The apology was so half assed like he couldn't be bothered. Archer looked around expecting people to complain but they turned a blind eye. Jack couldn't be checked and that's why he kept gettimg away with everything. Archer had met up with Mr Clarkson who had opened up about everything. The higher ups have been looking for a way to get rid of Jack but they haven't found plausible evidence to make him step down. "You know why we called you?" one of them asked, Jack shrugged, "If this was about yesterday's news, then don't worry about it. I am sure it will die down soon. Archer felt his eyes pop out fro

Jack snarled at first, eyes wide as he took in the dissappointed gazes directed at him. He nodded like he just discovered their aim. He pointed a finger at all of them, "oh i know what's happening here. You want to take my spot. Well, fuck if i am going to stay around for this embarrasment." He stormed out, Archer quietly followed him. The main purpose of him being there was to antagonize him. Archer stopped when he saw Jack kicking his car tyre angrily and he smirked, Jack turned to see who was behind him, his scowl deepened. "What the hell do you want?" Archer shrugged, "I wanted to ask you how it feels to fall from your pedastal and come down to the likes of us?" Jack stepped up, "How did you even know?" "I know everything there is to know about you, you are the one that keeps underestimating me. That's totally on you." "Now you listen," Jack started, "No, you listen. I let you threaten me and look what happened. Get out of your ass, Jack. The world doesn't revolve around y

Madison tapped her fingers against her wristwatch as she waited. The man in front of her looked cool as a cucumber."When did he say he will get here?" he asked,Madison looked at her watch, her brows furrowed for good measure."I am not sure but let's give it some time, please."The man nodded and relaxed against his chair. The door opened and both their attention went to it, Madison heaved a sigh of relief when Archer came in."Sorry, I am late."Archer stopped when he saw the unfamiliar man sitting there, he cut a glance at Madison who shook her head immediately."Hello," the man greeted.Archer responded with a greeting of his own. Madison gestured for Archer to have a seat."Archer this is Colonel, the private investigator I hired to look into Hailey but he is also on Jack."Archer brought out his hand to shake the man, "It's nice to meet you, Colonel." "Colonel, my friend, and strategic manager, Archer."The man brought out his hand and shook Archer's hand too. A wave of under

Archer flicked imaginary dirt off his suit, he was decked in a charcoal black suit, a black shirt opened at the collar, and his dress shoes.He figured he had to be dressed for the occasion if he wanted to get on Jack's nerves. Madison was dressed in a corporate dress that accentuated her curves.Her role today was minimal. They arrived at the hotel where the meeting was taking place."Ready?" she asked,Archer nodded and curved his arm, Madison slipped her hand into his and they entered the hotel, armed for revenge.The security guard asked for their entry card and when he was satisfied, he opened the hall.Archer and Madison located their seats in time and made themselves comfortable.The rest of the men poured in one after the other and Archer smirked when Jack stepped into the hall and headed straight to his seat.He had yet to see him.Madison nudged him, "This should be fun,""I agree."Archer felt giddy, his whole body thrilled with excitement in anticipation of what would happ
