Gary immediately left the building, with a relieved feeling that his workday was finally over, since he had something important. But then as he was walking towards his car, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him."Fools are not supposed to be in a company like this," the voice said. Gary turned around to see who it was and was surprised to see Raphael, dressed up in a bespoke suit and standing there with a sneer on his face.For a while, Gary was muted. He could only say less words. "You heard me right Gary. Fooks aren't supposed to be here?"At that point, Gary also stood firm and said. "What are you doing here, Raphael?" Gary asked, trying to keep his cool."If you will wish you know, my company partner with this company," Raphael replied, his voice dripping with contempt. "And I don't appreciate you showing your face around here, especially after what you did to my sister.""Your sister! What I did to your sister! Or what your sister and your family as a whole did to me!" Gary
Gary nervously entered Winifield's office, wearing a fake moustache and glasses, hoping his disguise would be enough to conceal his true identity. Winifield also welcomed him warmly and invited him to take a seat. Earlier on while the receptionist was about to send a call to Winifield, she had asked for his name and he had claimed the name Wellington without thinking twice and without remorse either.She had agreed to that and immediately introduced him as that."So, Mr Wellington, what brings you to our company?" Winifield asked with miles across his lips.At first, Gary had realised that there was no form of suspicion, however, he was still on the lookout. He cleared his throat and tried to steady his nerves. "Well, I'm an investor, and… I've heard several things and made my findings about your company. And in all, I realised that your company is proficient, and therefore, I am interested in investing in your company."Winifield raised an eyebrow. Truth be told he was taken by those
Gary found just exactly what he was looking for in the top drawer, after several efforts put into the search for the materials.It was the same necklace he needed to get, and it was flashing right before his eyes.He reached out to touch the necklace, marvelling at how cool the metal felt against his skin. The diamonds glittered in the light, sending shimmering reflections dancing across the walls of the store.For a moment, Gary was lost in admiration of the necklace. He imagined how it would look around his neck, how it would catch the eye of everyone in the room. And then, with a sigh, he tore his gaze away and stepped back from the display case.As he made his way back out onto the street, Gary couldn't help but glance back at the store window. The necklace still sparkled in the light, a dazzling reminder of the beauty that could be found in the world.He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pick it up when he heard footsteps approaching.Quickly, Gary closed the drawer, hur
Gary sat at his desk, staring intently at the small inscription he had just found on the back of the necklace he had been studying for days. He had a feeling that it was a clue to something, something important, but he just couldn't quite put his finger on what it was."Steve," Gary called Steve's attention to what he saw. "Yes boss," Steve was also quick to answer as fast as he could."Come take a look at this."Steve walked over to Gary's desk and peered at the inscription over his shoulder. "What does it say, young master?" he asked."I'm not sure," Gary replied, "but I think it's some kind of parable. It seems like it's trying to tell a story, but I can't quite make out what it means."Steve read over the inscription with a furrowed brow. "Yeah, it does seem like some kind of riddle or something. But what does it have to do with the necklace?""That's what I'm trying to figure out," Gary said, "but I just can't seem to connect the two."Suddenly, Gary's eyes widened as he had a re
Gary sat at his desk with an air of concentration, surrounded by a sea of papers. The desk was cluttered with stacks of documents, reports, and memos, which were strewn haphazardly across the surface, as if they had been thrown there in a rush. The papers spilled over the edges of the desk, cascading onto the floor in a disorganised pile.Despite the chaos around him, Gary seemed to be focused on a single sheet of paper in front of him. His eyes were narrowed in concentration as he scanned the document, his lips pursed in a tight line. He held a pen in his right hand, which he used to make occasional notes on the paper, jotting down important points or underlining key phrases.The rest of the room was relatively quiet, except for the occasional rustle of paper as Gary sifted through the documents around him. The blinds were drawn, casting a dim light over the desk, and the air was still and stuffy. A clock on the wall ticked steadily, marking the passage of time.Gary himself looked ti
"I have something to say."," he announced, his voice commanding the attention of everyone in the room.The other executives looked at him expectantly, wondering what else he could possibly have to add after offering such valuable insights earlier in the meeting.But as Gary began to remove his disguise, one piece at a time, the room fell silent. The executives watched in stunned disbelief as he revealed his true identity, one item of clothing after another.First, he removed his suit jacket, revealing a plain white shirt underneath. Next, he loosened his tie and pulled it off, then unbuttoned his shirt and removed it as well.As Gary stood before them, dressed in nothing more than a plain undershirt and slacks, the other executives were at a loss for words. They had never seen anything like it.Gary turned to face them, his eyes flashing with a fierce determination. "Do you remember me?" he asked, his voice low and steady.Many of the executives shifted uncomfortably in their seats, th
Finally, Gary has regained his position as the CEO. His grandfather's legacy had come to stay and not die.Whoever was bent on killing the legacy, then he would definitely lead to the grave. With confidence he sat on the chair which was just at the head of the table while he watched the ex board members leave one after the other.The expression on the face of some showed how sorry they were, while some others had no expression of remorse at all on their faces. However none of this meant anything to Gary anymore.All he wanted was what he got.He leaned on his chin till they were all out of the conference room.The moment they left, and clearly out of Gary's sight. Each of the board members began to murmur amongst themselves. They were yet to believe the table had turned. it still seemed as though it were a dream to them.Neither were they still able to comprehend how he was able to do that all behind them.Mr Johnson on the other hand huffed in anger. He wasn't going to take defeat,
Steve was sitting at the store man's desk with a laptop open in front of him. His eyes were fixed on the list of names that the store owner had given him earlier that day, trying to find any leads on who could have purchased the missing jewellery. As he scanned, the store owner called his attention to the name attached to the purchase of the jewellery. And without hesitating, Steve checked, but then, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise."Winfield!" he said out with, disbelief etched on his face. "You know him?" The store owner was pushed to ask, but then Steve never said a word .Instead, he read the name again, just to make sure he wasn't mistaken. "It can't be."But the name remained the same, and Steve's mind raced with the possibilities. Truly, they had found the necklace with Winfield, but he still doubted it. Not because of anything other than the fact that the search finally seems wasteful.The thought made him doubt himself for a moment, and he wondered if he had made a mi
