They both requested bottled water, but their body was still engrossed in fear, staring at the serious expression on Nicolas's face brought them quivering more in fear.It didn't take long before Jimmy appeared and was standing by the door. Ryan asked for him to come in and join them, which he did. He couldn't fathom why his boss at the office would wish to see him in a restaurant rather than in the office.Jimmy, a young man in his thirties, kept a calm demeanor with his sparkling blue eyes. They all made their orders.It was time to talk about the main purpose of calling the meeting. Ryan cleared his throat signifying he needed their attention.“You all are welcome, I called this meeting because I have something important to discuss with you guys. It is a matter that will help us at Prime Realty Group.” Ryan stated.Jimmy had a blank expression on his face, he wondered why his boss would call him or include him in such matters.Ryan's gaze fell on Jimmy, “Jimmy Birmingham,” Ryan's vo
Aaliyah's voice echoes through the silent hall. She shook her head in response to what she said when all gaze fell on her.“Yes, my cousin's sister works in the finance and accounting department. She is Vivian Jerome, Mrs. Ashley secretary.”“Mrs. Ashley secretary.” Chloe and Jimmy screamed in unison.Jimmy's eyes widened in shock, he hadn't seen the both of them together. He had no idea his girlfriend had a cousin working in the same company as them. Her words sounded like fire to them. “I got to know about it from her, even before Jimmy told me.”Ryan leaned back on the seat, they were now moving slowly in his mission. Ryan had a plan, Isabella was meant to start work on Monday. He felt like informing them about it but since Aaliyah informed them about her cousin he skipped the thought. Isabelle is new and it will take her time. Getting help from someone who already knows the ins and outs of Mrs. Ashley's office will be a great idea. “So how can we meet Vivian?” Ryan asked with
Ryan got up that early and had to change his plan, he had informed Susan that he would not be coming early to work. He has to visit Express Cargo.Ryan was seated at the back of the car, Whilst Nicolas handled the car wheel, he revved the engine and reversed out, all road leading to Express cargo.Within twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of the building. Nicolas did the needful and Ryan alighted from the car. He ambled towards the building and his staff greeted him and he returned the greetings waving and smiling at them.“Good morning young master.” Mr. Hector said with his head facing downward.“Good morning Hector. How is business going.’” Ryan asked.“Sir, the business has been doing pretty well.”They both Sauntered towards the manager's office. The manager Mr. Hector instructed his secretary to serve his young master a coffee. Ryan requested for two.Within a minute the secretary brought the coffee, placed it before her young master and the other close to Nicolas, who was
“Hey”Ryan turned to look at who was yelling at him, Reuben moved forward at a fast pace but Nicolas came forward to block him, Nicolas stood in front of Ryan.“Ryan Baker, the former Delivery driver who turned a Billionaire overnight.” He said sarcastically.“Do you think you are the only person thing will turn around for? The table has also turned around for us. I know you have heard the news but if you haven't let me tell you, Victoria is getting married to Brown Baker.” Reuben said, smirking.Ryan boiled in inner rage but he managed to calm his anger. “Was that why you stopped me and how is that my business?”“Hahahah” Reuben laughs out loudly.“You can no longer humiliate my family and me, we have got someone ready to fight for us. We are now related by marriage, and as for you.” He said pointing at Nicolas.“You will soon be taking orders from me when the marriage is fully settled.” Ryan Furrowed his eyebrow, he eyed Nicolas.“Wait, what are you trying to do, you better not t
As the soft light of Dawn filters through the curtains. Mr. George sat on the couch close to the window which gives him a better view of the mansion.He was sipping from the steaming coffee that was placed before him by the maid. Mrs. Ashley promenades towards him with her face showing frustration and anger.Mr. George's eyes glued on his wife as she ambled back and forth at a slow pace. “What is the matter? Why are you so upset this morning?” He asked with a serious tone.Mrs. Ashley sighed, before moving close to where he was, she sat opposite him. She cleared her throat and mouthed.“I am still not happy that Ryan is still alive, Can't you see him doing well for himself? Just a few weeks after he was made the president he had been able to seal three deals and I heard he is the reason why Express Cargo have been making massive progress recently.” She said with her voice fuming in rage.“What do you want us to do, we have sent some men against him and they came back giving flimsy ex
Mr. Caleb stood by the door to welcome everyone including family relatives. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and happiness.Brown and Victoria walked pass Ryan, Brown placed his hands around Victoria's waist and kissed her on her forehead.Ryan was not moved by what they were doing, instead, he took out his phone and scrolled through his Wh*****p group chat and there was no message from Aaliyah, Chloe or Jimmy. He shook his head in disappointment and placed it back into his pocket.He traced his mother and moved towards her, she engulfed him in a tight hug before letting go.The waiters and waitresses carried a tray of wine as they moved back and forth giving wine to each attendee. Ryan was holding a wine glass the same as everyone in the room.Mrs. Ashley had already given her instructions to her allies.Mr. Caleb used a light metal to tap the wine glass in his hand calling the attention of everyone present.“Good morning to you all, it is with great pleasure and happiness. I
“Sir, there was a bomb attack outside.”“What!!!” They all exclaimed.Fear engrossed the ambience of the Baker's mansion“How and when, How did that happen, Was anyone hurt?”Mr. Caleb asked.The once lively room is shrouded in silence and they murmur amongst themselves.“No one was hurt sir, just the cars were damaged after the bomb blast.” “Which car?” They all asked“Sir, about three to four cars.”“No it can't be, what is happening, who is responsible for this, Tighten the security and find out who is behind this immediately. Check everything the person might be inside here. Check the CCTV, check every corner of the mansion. I want the person behind this Arrested and jailed.” Mr. George yelled out at the top of his lungs.The family sat huddled together as their faces were all etched with fear and uncertainty. The food remained untouched, they exchanged worried glances. Their thoughts were consumed by questions of who could have carried out such a heinous act and why.Smoke linge
“Ryan, What was that all about?” Mr. Caleb asked, raising his brow.“Nothing Grandfather, we were just having a friendly discussion.”******The entire Baker family were all seated in the living room, as they were curious to know the outcome.The mansion door creaked open, and Joseph and Khalo walked inside the mansion. They tilted their heads in respect before the Baker's family.“What information do you have? Have you found out who is behind what happened earlier?” Mr. Caleb asked in a serious tone.Mrs. Ashely kept a calm demeanour, she had already paid some of the security guards in charge of the CCTV room but she was scared they might snitch on her.“Sir, there was no trace of a bomb in the premises, I suspected the car came inside with it. We didn't check the cars. We have checked the CCTV several times, and the results are still the same,” Khalo said calmly.“Do you know the car that caused the explosion?” Yes, sir, the car belongs to Master Ryan.”"What!!!” They exclaimed.Si
