SIGN A DEAL“ So you mean you actually have stopped working with them?” Jack asked in surprise.“ Well, not really, but I have hinted to them that I will be quitting work with them soon.I demanded to see you and talk things over but they all claimed you left the house and they did not know where you went.so I made up my mind that If I was able to secure a deal from here that I was going to cancel it on their side and invest fully here” Mr Johnson explainedJack nodded with a smile.“ Well then it's good you are here?. As you know this is a new company and we are really working hard to be able to provide for all, and currently, everything is going well.I reviewed your request on the amount of products requested per week, and I must say it's very good. You know it's now even more than what you were buying from us when I was running my dad's company.That is very good and this shows that the company is growing significantly.Well I will be able to produce the products and your prices a
A GOOD AND BAD NEWSThursday evening, the McAllister MansionGeorge was pacing up and down the living room with his hands on his cheeks.He was chewing on a gum violently and loudly.An ashtray with cigarette butts was seen on the table, and the whole place was smelling like cigarettes. He had just quenched the last one he was smoking when someone came to give him the news.He looked visibly angry and frustrated.A man stood on one side of the room with his hands on his back, sadness drawn in on his face. Fear was written all over him, too. And it was predictable that he was in some kind of trouble with George.It was the same man who had come to him that morning and had received some serious instructions on how to do something.It was obvious that the man had failed or something really terrible had happened .George stopped pacing up and down after some time and looked at the man straight in the eye.“ You had just one job, and you could not do it. What the fuck is wrong with you,
FAMILY AND FRIENDS“ How bad is it?” Goerge asked.“ So bad that if we don't invest in it and get things right, it is going to collapse on our hands” Mr Daniel said.“ So what do you suggest we do?” “ Well, I really don't know, but I think we should go for a loan and invest it into the business. But that will also leave us with a huge amount of debt that we can barely pay.We need to do something” Mr Daniel replied.“ No, that is not an option.I just took over barely three weeks ago, and everything is going down. I am losing clients, and I am losing money.I can't just sit down and allow things to go south. That will make me look stupid in the face of Jack and all the others. I have to do something to save the situation and myself” George said and heaved a sigh.“ You are right, son.You can't just let everything disappear. That is why I suggest you focus more on the business.If you keep thinking about how you are going to get rid of Jack, it might be a disaster for both of us.We
THE MAKEOUT“ Well, I guess I am not a part of those women, so I think I will have to work for my own money. That is why I have come to see you. I am up for any job at all” Tracy said.She adjusted her bag on her lap.George's eyes followed her hand movements and saw something.George smirked and grinned loudly.“ So since one man does not want something good, what about I make you mine forever” George said with a wink.Tracy understood the statement at once but intentionally feigned ignorance.“ I don't understand, sir. I am ready to work with you as long as I get to work for myself” Tracy said and intentionally avoided his gaze.“ Firstly, I would appreciate it if you would call me George instead of the sir.That aside, I know you understood my statement…” George paused and stood up from his seat. He walked closer to her and sat beside her.“ …. I want to make you my own. I want you to be mine.I will take care of you well, and you will not have to work before you eat. I wan
THE STRATEGY OF CHESSThursday evening, Jack's Apartment.Jack sat on a couch, staring into space.Jane sat directly opposite him with a confused face.They were done with their dinner, and they were having a discussion.Jack was done explaining something to her, and yet Jane seemed so confused about the whole thing.“ I still do not understand what you are really talking about. This whole thing does not make sense to me” Jane said.Jack heaved a sigh and sat up, looking at her with a smile.“ Let me try and summarize everything for you.Now, the problem here is that my family is after me and is trying very hard to destroy me completely.I know about it, and I have successfully been able to know their plan. All I need to do now is to retaliate, and everything goes back to normal.In that case, I will have to go low-key.Effective tomorrow, the whole thing will start working seriously, and I will need you to take over, probably from Monday. You will be the new CEO of a new mining comp
THE STRANGE KISS Friday morning, Jack's Residence.Jack woke up on the couch as he opened his eyes at once.He looked around him and realized he was still in the living room.He had not gone to the bedroom to sleep and had unintentionally slept off on the couch.After playing the chess game with Jane, he went to shower and came back to the living room with his phone in hand.Jane did not know what he was going to do with his phone but after asking him why he was going to the living room, Jack told her he had some things to attend to, and that he was going to join him shortly.He had played the game until he passed out.Jack picked up his phone and looked at it.He had successfully gathered about 1.1 trillion dollars from the game.He still had two more days before the end of the game.He smiled at himself.“ I am now a trillionaire” He murmured to himself with a smile as he sat up on the couch.He got up and then looked at the time, thinking it was midnight.He was shocked to find o
LOST IN FANTASIESJack drove out of the compound and set off on his way to work.As he drove, he was busily thinking about Jane's kiss.He lost it for a moment when she kissed him and eventually came to his senses after a few secondsHe felt like the world was revolving around while he stood in the middle.Even as he drove, he could still feel her soft, sweet lips on his cheeks.It was as though Jane was still kissing him.He smiled at himself.He wondered what he was going to do now.He began thinking deeply about Jane as he drove.He had fallen in love with her from the very first day he had seen her in the hospital.It was like magic, and he was never able to get away with it.He had felt like he should go ahead and straight ask her to be his girlfriend, but because of his past relationship experience with Tracy, he was a bit scared.He had weighed options enough and had decided to hold on for a while.He wanted him and Jane to remain on the friendship level. Or maybe the boss and
AN UNEXTINGUISHABLE FIREFriday Noon, Jack’s OfficeJack received a call on his phone.He answered the call and hurriedly placed the phone to his ear.“ We have a problem, sir. All our machines have broken down and gone off completely.All of the machines have begun catching fire one after the other. We have been able to quench a little bit, and the firemen are still on their way here.” The caller said, panting.Jack heaved a sigh.“ You have to take your time. I am going to be there with you guys very soon.. I need to come see things for myself.” Jack said and dropped the call.He picked up his car keys and rushed out of his office.He got into his car and drove at top speed to the warehouse.’He had informed his personal assistant and his receptionist of what was going on..………………………..George’s ResidenceGeorge was sitting in his living room, having a glass of wine. He was busily enjoying himself when his phone rang.He took his phone and frow
AFTER THE SENTENCEAfter the audio ended, everywhere in the room went quiet.Jack had a wide smile on his lips.Alfred looked shocked as he gave Jack a deadly stare. He knew he was not in a position to say anything at that point, and whatever he said at that time would not be considered.The judge went on to speak.“ We have heard your piece of evidence counsel, however, I don't think it is going to alter our judgment today looking at the fact the accused have already pleaded guilty to all the accusations levelled against them, and the details of the audio happen to be one of them.However, his property will be confiscated and handed over to the state, who will decide what to do. Now, before we pronounce judgment, does anyone have anything to say?” the judge repeated his earlier question.The whole room went silent for a while until the judge spoke again.“ Okay, after reviewing all the evidence provided, and listening to the accused and their statements, here is the court's ruling Fo
PLAN WORKEDVery soon, they would enter the city and would be transported to the police station.They were on the busy highway, but the cars were all moving at top speed.Alfred slowly looked at the policemen sitting next to him.He was a bit unaware. Alfred slowly directed his cuffed hands to the car door.He heaved a heavy sigh, pushed the locker to open the door, and dived out of the car in a split second.Everything happened so fast that he did not have time to think of what to do next.The moment he fell out of the car, he could feel pain in his whole body, and within another split second, he saw a car coming towards him at top speed.Alfred screamed out his lungs loudly in fear as if his shouts were going to stop the car from coming towards “ NOOOOOO” He could hear the car tyres screeching loudly on the road, but it was useless; the car was already close, and he had no time to run.Apparently, when Alfred threw himself out on the road, he sustained serious injuries, but he co

CRIMES SPELLED OUT“... Jack was left devastated and had to find somewhere to go. The only place he could go was his girlfriend's house.Alfred and Tracy knew the day was the very day Jack was going to be thrown out of his house, and as a win for them, they were celebrating in Tracy’s apartment.Jack walked in on the two and was broken-hearted and left the house.Now, Jack was out of the picture and no one heard from him ever again.Everybody is happy.George was now the new boss. Unfortunately, he fired all the old employees and employed new ones, mostly his friends and their friends, and succeeded in buying everyone over.’Just one day, George ran into Jack in a gym and got into a fight with him. George ordered his bodyguards to fight Jack and Jack beat them upJack defeated George and his men and left the gym.George was angry with his men and left them behind to walk on their own.He passed Jack and left the scene, but he placed a call to Alfred for help.Jack on the other hand s

THE STARTLED TRIOJack followed Newman as they walked into the inner room.They tiptoed slowly as they made their way to the first door in the room.Voices could be heard in the room as the trio enjoyed their breakfast.Newman turned around and pointed at the smoke releaser on Jack's belt.Jack understood the assignment at once and took it out. He handed it over to Newman, but to his surprise, Newman did not throw it nor activate it, instead, he buckled it on his belt.“ Guys, we have twenty-five minutes on the clock.” Max's voice came in on the line.“Okay, Roger that” Emry was also heard on the line.Neither Jack nor Newman spoke.Newman turned and whispered at Jack.“ Masks on now. We barge in the room on three. My count” Newman said and turned again, facing the door.He raised three fingers in the air, reduced to two, and then one.Jack pulled his mask up to cover his face except his eyes held his guns well and positioned them well.Newman kicked the door as hard as he could and e
PREPARATION FOR WARNewman opened his bag again and took out a small bug. He dropped it on the motorbike.Jack recognised the bug at once as the one he had used when he was going to capture the mayor.He heaved a sigh as he looked at Newman doing his work.Newman took the bug controller and started it.The bug came to life and began wheezing almost inaudibly.“ The bug is ready Max” Newman spoke into the microphone.“ Screen activated on my side. Begin movement” Max's voice came on the line.Newman began controlling the bug and it moved upwards.Newman directed it towards the building ahead and it went.As he directed the bug with the controller, Max gave him orders on what he was supposed to do and where he was supposed to navigate the bug.“ Slow down, I can see someone in sight …. This is the side of the building, only one person there …. Go left … go up a bit …. left again …. up … now stay at one place …. I can see two other men. You are at the front now.It's only a single door …
BORN READY: TIME FOR ACTIONJack opened his eyes slowly to the morning sunlight.He looked beside him and realized that Jane was lying beside him.That meant he had slept more than usual.He stretched lazily on the bed and sat up.Picking up his phone, he realized that it was already 7 am.He stood up, and without going to the bathroom, he quickly walked out of his room.He met Jane at the door.“ Oh, you are awake. I was just about to come call you for breakfast” Jane said.Jack nodded.“ Good morning “ he greeted Jane.“ Good morning. How was the night?” Jane asked with a smile as she turned around.They both made their way to the dining table.“ well…. Not bad, except I do feel like I could use a few more minutes of sleep” Jack confessed.“ You look tired. You didn't sleep very early last night.you can go catch some more sleep after having your breakfast” Jane replied.They both sat at the dining table. After breakfast, Jack went back inside, and this time, he went to take his sh
THE SECRET TEXTJack and Jane were seated at the table having dinner.Jack was briefing Jane about his day, explaining how he got to know that George had escaped from police custody.Jane was scared and pointed out clearly to Jack that she was sure George was going to come after them Jack just smiled and brushed it off.“ Just leave this to me. I have everything under control. Everything will end very soon” Jack reassured Jane.Although she was not convinced of Jack's reassurance, she only nodded, with fear in her heart.After dinner, Jack sat in the living room with Jane.Jane was watching the evening news while Jack worked on his laptop He was checking the reports of work on his companies, cross-checking their finances to see if the accountant had not made any mistakes.As the news progressed, They soon began talking about a young man who had just escaped police custody.They both knew at once that the person in question was George.Jack paused what he was doing and focused on the
