Come down and see for yourself.” Mr. Brian chuckled lightly as he ended the call.Ryan shone his eyes in confusion, as he stood up and made his way to the entrance of the building. “What could be waiting for me,” he mumbled Inwardly as he walked majestically.As he stepped close to the entrance, he noticed how a large crowd were standing at the entrance with their faces filled with astonishment and shock.

How do you feel knowing your actions saved a man’s life.”Ryan took a moment to compose himself before he responded. He noticed how all eyes were fixated on him to hear what he had got to spill. “It is a humbling experience, but I am grateful that I was able to help Mr. Turner Brian in his time of need. I am thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. I could not stand and watch him die when I knew I could help him.“He said earnestly.“How did you use herbal medicine to treat Mr. Turner’s poison?” Another reporter asked.Ryan smiles, recalling the event that led to Mr. Turner’s recovery.

Reuben got to the location given to him, his eyes roaming around the premises as he ambled towards the hotel receptionist.“Good evening sir, welcome. How may I assist you,” she said with a warm smile.“Good evening, I am here to see Joseph Thompson. Could you tell him Reuben is here?”“Do you have any appointments with Mr. Thompson?” she inquired with her hand on the keyboard.“Yes, we have a scheduled meeting,” Reuben replied,“Okay, hold on sir,” she replied while she typed on the computer keyboard for the name and after a few checks she faced the direction of the intercom. “Here we go sir, a minute.” She took the intercom and reached out to Joseph to confirm.Reuben couldn’t take his eyes off the beautiful receptionist, her presence was like a magnet which was drawing his gaze towards her and he watched as she moved her lips and how she smiled.“Sir, Mr. Thompson is awaiting you when you take the elevator to the fourth floor and his room is by the third left.” She informed him by g
“I want you to meet Susan Patrick, Susan meets Reuben, my business partner,” Joseph said, introducing her to Reuben who was lost admiring her beauty. He found himself enchanted by her every feature“Hello, Reuben. It’s nice to finally meet you.” She said with a warm smile.“Nice meeting you too, Susan,” Reuben replied, returning the smile.“So let’s get down to the main reason why we are here,” Joseph uttered while going back to sit down, he could see the expression on Reuben’s face which demanded an explanation.He cleared his throat, “Reuben Forster, she is Ryan’s secretary, she will be helping us to carry out our plan.” “Ryan’s secretary,” Reuben exclaimed. He furrowed his brow, switching his gaze from the lady to Joseph who nodded his head intermittently in understanding to Reuben’s expression. “She is my daughter, So let’s play our game properly.” He said firmly.(It’s getting interesting.)“How are you sure she can do that? What if she snitched on us?” Reuben gutted out in do
The man stepped forward with his face stern frown and annoyance boiling within him.Ryan and his guards turned to face the man who was walking towards them and the guys glanced at each other while maintaining their gaze at the man striding towards them with great speed.“Ryan Baker, I came here to warn you seriously to stay away from my girlfriend,” he said as he took a step forward, his gaze fixed on Ryan with deep anger.Ryan stared at the man with a brow raised in confusion, “Who are you and what is your girlfriend.” he asked in curiosity.The man clenched his jaw while giving Ryan a cold glance. “I am Douglas Reed and stop acting as if you don't know what I am talking about.” He uttered with a serious tone.Ryan moved a step forward, “I don't know who you are and who your girlfriend is, I don't have time for whatever you have got to say. You had better leave here.” He said while still maintaining a calm demeanour.“Don't play dumb with me, Ryan. You think I didn't see you with her
Susan came back after a few minutes with the coffee, she placed it in front of her boss, while still standing to see if he would drink it.“Thank you, Susan. I want you to help deliver this file to Mrs. Juliet Benjamin.” Ryan instructed while handing her the file.“Okay, sir.” She replied with her gaze still fixed on her boss.Ryan could feel his inner spirit, being in trouble when he raised the coffee. A sudden wave of nausea washed over him and he felt something was wrong, the feeling increased unwell. Ryan's heart began to race, he knew he needed to use the restroom quickly.With a sense of urgency, he pushed his chair back and hurriedly walked towards the restroom and pushed the door open and stumbled inside. Susan felt disappointed, she was almost close to actualising her plan. She stood still at her spot forgetting the instructions she had been given earlier.After some moments, he came outside with a heavy sigh of relief washed over his face. He met his secretary Susan still s
He paused and continued “I felt the financial projections were overly optimistic, we need to ensure that our partnership should be based on realistic expectations and should not sound financial planning alone. Your presentation lacks specific potential risk mitigation strategies.” He said with a more serious tone. He didn’t hide anything from them, he said everything in his mind.The manager tried to defend his proposal. He stood up from his seat, his expression had changed from happiness to disbelief. “Mr. Ryan. We can provide those details. 1 didn’t want to overwhelm you with numbers, I understand your concern about it. But we can revisit our financial projection and can also provide conservative estimates if that would be suitable for our collaboration.” He said politely. His heart was pounding fast in disappointment. He sat down with his face etched with concern and uncertainty.“Mr. Maxwell, I get your point but as a real estate company, we need a data-driven decision.” He said.
He took up the phone with his face furrowed, “Hello,”“Hello, Ryan. How are you.” Elizabeth asked.Ryan sighed and answered slowly. “I am doing good.” “You didn’t call me, even when I told you I would be travelling. You never even bothered calling me to know if I got home safely the last time we met.” She said in a disappointed tone.Ryan was contemplating if he should inform her about what happened the night, “Hello, Hello. Are you there? “ she asked.” “Sorry, I was busy. But I have something important to ask you,” he said.“What is it,” she asked politely.“Who is Douglas Reed?” Ryan uncontrollably asked.Elizabeth was speechless, she struggled to utter a word. Ryan could hear her breathing pace from the phone.“He is my ex-boyfriend, Ryan. We broke up two months ago and he is still coming back threatening to deal with me if I don’t accept him back. I am sorry I never informed you about it.” She said,“But how did you know,” she asked.Ryan explained. “After, you left that day. A
