After two days of waiting, Gary slowly opened his eyes, groggy and disoriented. He tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through his body. He looked around the room, and everything was hazy. The only sound he could hear was the beeping sound of a life support machine.Steve, who was seated next to his bed, noticed his movement and rushed to his side."Young master, you're awake!" Steve exclaimed with joy.Gary looked at Steve, and a sudden wave of memories flooded his mind. He remembered the incident and how he had been saved by Steve, but then he was surprised about where he currently is."Steve, where am I?" Gary asked, struggling to speak."You're in the hospital, young master," Steve replied, his voice laced with relief.At that moment, Gary also slowly turned his head and saw the doctor walking towards him. The doctor checked his vitals and made sure that his body was stabilized."How are you feeling, Mr. Gary?" The doctor asked."I'm feeling weak, but I think I'm getting well."
While he argued with the receptionist, he saw Mr Richardson descend with his bodyguards who were numbered in four. Dressed in black suits and dark glasses and were heading towards the exit. He therefore ran up and caught up with them immediately.However, they stepped forward to intercept him, but he didn't slow down. "Excuse me, gentlemen," he gasped out. "I need to speak with Mr. Richardson immediately."The guards exchanged a glance, but before they could make a move, Mr Richardson stopped and took a glance back.For unknown reason, Richardson asked the guards to leave him. Then Mr Johnson repeated again."I'll like to speak to you, it's quite important. I'm from ZR Biotech."Alright, let's see in my office."Richardson let the way and from the receptionist desk, she sighed at the fact that Mr Richardson didn't scold her or sack her for the presence of Mr Johnson, it seemed as though he were in a good mood.Mr. Johnson practically stumbled into the spacious office, still catching h
Back at the hospital, Gary sat in his hospital bed. His condition had finally improved and he was ready to get discharged.He anxiously waited for the doctor to arrive. He had been in the hospital for what felt like an eternity, and he was eager to go home. If not for anything, but at least for his work.Several reports he got from Winfield were not appealing. He needed to resume to see things for himself, not just what he was hearing.While he was at this, looking troubled, Steve sat by his side, trying to keep him calm.Suddenly, the door opened and in walked the doctor, a clipboard in his hand. "Good morning, Mr Gary. How are you feeling today?" he asked with a smile."I'm better than before, all thanks to you," Gary replied with a deep frown. He had grown tired of the doctor walking in and asking him questions as regards his health.He felt there were better places he needed to be other than remain within the four walls of an hospital. Hence without thinking twice, he asked. "Wh
Returning back to his place of office felt a little strange once again to Gary, but this time around, it was backed up by a determination within himself.Gary made use of the elevators, and soon enough, he was at the 12th floor where his office was located.Immediately upon entering his office, Winifield greeted him with a warm smile and a bow. "Welcome back, Mr Carter. It's good to have you back in the office," Winifield said."Thank you, Winifield. It's good to be back," Gary replied, taking a seat behind his desk."So, what can I help you with today?" Winifield asked."I need you to schedule a meeting with the account team immediately. I want to know where issues are arising from and causing the company a setback," Gary replied firmly."I'll get that done right away, boss." Winifield nodded and quickly got to work, pulling out his planner and flipping through the pages. "Mr Carter, how about I schedule a meeting for this afternoon at 2:00 PM. Does that work for you?""Yes, that's
Gary sat at his desk, flipping through the pages of the document that lay before him. He had read it twice already, but something about it just wasn't sitting right. He furrowed his brow and read through the paragraph again, scanning each line for any hint of what was bothering him.As he reached the signature line, his eyes narrowed. He had spotted something earlier, but had dismissed it as a minor detail. Now, however, he realized it could be the key to understanding what was wrong with the document.He leaned closer to the paper, squinting as he studied the signature. "What is it?" he muttered to himself.Suddenly, the door to his office opened and Winifield walked in. "Boss, the board of directors is requesting a meeting with you," she said, her voice urgent.Gary looked up at him, his mind still trying to process the document in front of him. "Now? I can't do it now, I have too much to do," he replied, his tone frustrated."But they say it's urgent," Winifield insisted.Gary sig
The board meeting was in full swing as Mr Johnson, the CEO, addressed the members. "Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to show you something," he said, his voice commanding the attention of the entire room while Gary, sat patiently, waiting for what Mr Johnson had to show him.Mr Johnson picked a document from the table, strolled towards Gary, and said. "Mr president, don't you remember signing this? Don't you remember selling your shares?" He tossed the document before Gary."Selling his shares?" Everyone was stunned. There were murmurs all around. "If he has sold his shares then why insist on retaining the seat of the president? This is completely insane and not to be heard of." A co shareholder said."I can't believe we actually supported him all this while thinking that he could actually handle things."Just the time Gary picked up, Mr Johnson said again. "It should be known to all that Mr Carter here has actually sold his shares the whole time, but pretended not to, as such he r
The conference room was filled with tension as the board members sat in silence, processing all the bad news that had just been delivered. Mr Johnson, had imaginary smiles drawn across his brow as his eyes scanned the room as he took in the reactions of the board members.Inwardly, he felt his plan had been achieved. Everyone took the words as he had said it without wavering. It should be noted that Mr Johnson was a respected member of the board.He was known to speak wisdom and give ideas that were of course favourable. A more reason why the board members had respected him a lot and taken a lot of respect for his words without asking him to provide evidence.They solely trusted Mr Johnson's judgement in place of Gary, since Gary was a new man.After a few moments of silence, Mr Johnson cleared his throat, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. "I know today's meeting has been filled with some tough news, but I have a surprise for you all that I think will lift your spirits."
"I didn't do it, I don't know what they are talking about! Let go of me!" Gary shouted as the corpse dragged him towards the door.One of the corps, a bald man with a tattoo on his neck, turned to Gary and sneered. "You're coming with us, buddy. You're a criminal now, and you're going to pay for what you've done."Gary struggled, but they were too strong. They quickly handcuffed him in both hands, making it impossible for him to fight back. As they led him out of the boardroom, Gary felt a sense of shame and humiliation wash over him. This was the second time he was taken by the law innocently. Not that alone, he was treated like a criminal. That alone was overwhelming.The moment they escorted him out of the building, Gary saw the flashing lights of the police car in the distance. He knew then that things were serious. It dawned on him that he wasn't dreaming.Going to jail was in no way a dream. It was serious.Right there, he turned around and yelled. "I want to call my lawyer," G
