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
"Mr Steve!" Winifield picked the phone at first dial. Then, there was a brief pause on the line, and Steve could hear the rustling of papers in the background."Winfield? Any news about Gary! Did he stay back at work?"Steve showed so much concern and inquisitiveness. Not at all Mr Steve, but he actually is in jail."Steve didn't nley the words go cold before he voiced out and said. "Jail! How come? How did he land in jail?" "Mr Steve, I'm as surprised as you are too, but then. The board leader suddenly came around, then he presented evidence to the board. He equally told everyone that Mr Carter sold his shares a long time ago, but then he still pretended to be president.""What!?" Steve couldn't believe his hearing. "What evidence? And who the hell does he think he is to bring up such accusations?""And as for you." He returned to speaking with Winfield. "Why didn't you tell me anything, Winfield? Why did you remain quiet and keep this to yourself?""Mr Steve, the company has been un
Brayon, the leader of the police department, stood before a group of officers, all involved in the recent case involving Steve and Gary. He took a deep breath and looked around the room, his gaze stern and unwavering."Listen up, everyone," he said, his voice echoing through the quiet room. "I want each and every one of you to apologize to Mr Steve and Mr Carter for what happened, then you all should turn in your badges. You have all proved to be worthless and enemies of the law.""You couldn't represent theaw well, therefore we do not want people among us who would represent the corps with a bad image.""Once again, turn your badges in and apologize."The officers looked at each other, some shifting uncomfortably in their positions, while others stared straight ahead, avoiding Brayon's gaze. Eventually, one officer stood up, his eyes downcast."My apologies Mr Steve," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "We never knew this you g man was really the heir to Carter's consortium. W
"My young master would make the decision himself I'm in no place to decide " Steve said then looked up to Gary for an answer, as the officers also looked up to him apologetically on their knees."Our apologies Mr Carter." All of them said with their heads bowed.However, Gary stood in front of the two police officers with a look of pure anger on his face. Having him detained for weeks for with no chance eal evidence as to what he did. And then leaving him at the verge of death just because of framed documents?Definitely, they deserved no mercy at all. Gary said to himself."I'm sorry for the inconvenience, sir," one of the officers said, attempting to apologise.Gary scoffed then finally said. "Sorry doesn't cut it. You all detained me for no reason, held me here for hours, and now you think a simple apology will make everything better?"The other officer quickly voiced to interrupt.. "We were just doing our job, sir. We had to make sure you weren't involved in any criminal activity,
After three days of staying at the hospital, and staying under extensive care. Gary was finally getting back in shape.He was still in bed, but then, he was suddenly awoken by the doctor's entry into his ward.His stethoscope was seen hanging around his neck and clipboard in his hand. However, Gary still lay in his bed as he watched the doctor check his pulse and then his temperature, writing down the readings on his clipboard."I believe you feel much better than before?" The doctor said after acknowledging that Gary was awake and greeting him."Well, I feel terribly weak, and it's as though my head pounds harder than before." Gary responded to the doctor honestly, and then the doctor said. "That's understandable. Mr Carter, you had a rough time some days ago, and your body finally needs to adjust to the new state of things," he dipped his hands into his pocket with a slight smile and then he said further."You need not worry much since there are signs of improvement aside from th
