The whole house was silent as they all stared at each other.“Can you please say something?” Mr. Simpson mumbled.“I lost my job.” she finally uttered.“You did what?” Mrs. Vanessa said, with her face reeled In confusion.“How come, what did you do?” Reuben asked.Tears stream down Victoria's eyes, as she stares at her family members who are standing staring at her. “Ryan is the new CEO of the media house,” Victoria said, with her voice barely above a whisper.“Which Ryan?” Mr. Simpson asked.“Hold on Victoria, you mean Ryan your Ex-boyfriend,” Reuben said.“Yes!! She said as she nodded intermittently.The house was filled with awkward silence as they all stared at each other for a while.The maid walked in to inform them that dinner was ready, Mr. Simpson, his wife and son Reuben walked to the dining table to eat but Victoria stood up and went to her room. They stared at her as she scurried towards the staircase heading up to her room.Her mom tried calling her back but she didn't
It was nine o’clock the following morning, and Ryan thought about visiting an old friend. He wore a sweatshirt and a black jean, with a black sandal. He was accompanied by his butler Nicolas and two hefty guards who were in another car that trailed behind them. They arrived at the express cargo building. It was busy as usual, People were going in and out of the building either to send or receive a package.Ryan alighted from his Ford SUV, as he hurried towards the entrance of the building, he met some of his old colleagues. They were surprised to see him, he waved at them as he walked towards the manager’s office, Mr. Michael Hall.Mr. Michael Hall was standing outside giving instructions to some new employees when he saw Ryan. He told his assistant to continue from where he stopped while he walked towards Ryan, whose eyes were roaming around the premises.“What are you doing here?” Mr. Michael asked.“I thought I warned you not to step foot here again.” Ryan gave Mr. Michael an e
“I want you to do a background check on Andrew Murphy, the owner of Stellar Groove clubhouse. I want to know everything about him and I want a report about Mr. Simpson Forster, Victoria's father.” Ryan ordered, his expression was entwined with pain.Nicolas nodded his head softly as he listened to the instructions like a student taking instructions from his teacher.Andrew was his next target, bringing Andrew down would be difficult based on his involvement in illegal activities, he would need good evidence for that to be possible. He would need help from an insider.“Before I forget, I will also want you to look for a well-suited apartment for me. I will be moving out of the mansion soon.” He said calmly.Nicolas looked at him in surprise, the Baker's mansion was too big to contain more families and even a community. Why would he think of moving out? He had wanted to ask Ryan the reasons why he intended to move out but he kept it to himself to avoid getting his young master angry.H
He walked inside, bowed his head and greeted his grandfather, Mr. Caleb was happy to see his grandson. He stood up from his seat and walked towards him, hugging him and ordering him to have a seat while he walked back to his seat and sat down.“I received your call and you said you have something important to discuss with me.” Mr. Caleb said smirking, as he leaned on his chair to hear what his son had got to say.“Yes, Grandfather. It's about Express cargo logistics. I noticed the cars are not that fast and I would like to expand the company, we also need to get new motorcycles to help with the deliveries.” Ryan said calmly.Mr. Caleb was focused on what Ryan was saying, he nodded his head slightly as he listened. Ryan placed a file on the table and moved it towards his grandfather.“Here is a report from the company, it was stated that we have 20 delivery cars but we just have only 10 cars.” Mr. Caleb was shocked after hearing it, he took the file from the table and skimmed each pag
“Do you have any information?” he asked in an authoritative tone “Yes, young master, I have gotten some information about Simpson Forster and Andrew Murphy,” Nicolas said.“Okay. speak, I'm listening.” Ryan said softly.“Aside from being the owner of the clubhouse, Andrew is also involved in drug trafficking and he used most of the girls in the club to push his drugs. The clubhouse has different rooms at the back side and when a customer comes inside his club, he picks a girl he likes and Andrew will give the girl the drug to give the customer. He also uses the delivery agency to push some of his drugs.” Nicolas voices out.Ryan remembered going over to the clubhouse on several occasions to give parcels to Andrew and even the night he pleaded for Andrew to help him but Andrew gave him to deliver the package to some rich dude. He was still Wallowing in deep thoughts when Nicolas called out “Young master, Are you there? Can you hear me?” He blurted out.“Yes, I'm here, can you find ou
The following morning, Ryan arrived at the prime Realty Group building, He was welcomed by the Secretary-General, Mr. Jeffrey Mark, the development and construction manager Mr. Fernando Jonah And the sales department head Mrs. Juliet Benjamin.“Welcome young master, I'm Jeffrey Mark, the secretary general.” he saw with his head bowed and his hand clasped behind his back.“Welcome young master.” the others said in unison.“Thank you,” Ryan said, stretching his hand towards them for a handshake. He looked around the premises and noticed how everyone bowed their heads in respect.They were surprised to see their new president and he looked young, he could hear indistinct chatting from his staff as he walked him Ryan ambled towards the elevator and his staff followed him, Nicholas was also there with him. It was his first time at the real estate company. He remembers what his grandfather told him. “You just need to be confident and give orders. They will follow and do anything you say.” T
“Hello again”He waited a few minutes and the caller didn't utter a single word, he hung up.“What is it, young master?” Nicolas asked.“Nothing, just some random number calling me and not saying anything.” He wrote down the number on a piece of paper and handed it to Nicolas.“I want to know who owns the number.”“Okay, young master.” he exited the office.**********Victoria Forster was still feeling devastated after being sacked from work, she was holding her phone and couldn't say anything when Ryan picked up the call. She felt weak and she couldn't utter a single word.She was reeling in confusion about what to do. Should I go over to his office, or should I call him back? What will I tell him when he picks up? I need to see him face-to-face. She got up and walked into the bathroom to freshen up, after a few minutes she came with her towel wrapped around her body, got dressed and walked out of the house, her family members had all gone out to their various duties. She was left a
Ryan looked back to see who it was, and he was surprised to see Victoria Forster coming towards him, his gaze fixed on her. Her presence irritates him."What is she doing here? How did she know I'm here?" He grumbled quietly. His blood was boiling in wrath, and his teeth gritted.Victoria hurriedly sank to her knees, her heart shaking with panic. She panted heavily and didn't mind the fact that people were standing outside looking at her."Ryan, I apologize for how I treated you. Please forgive me," she stated. After a few miles of running, her body was covered in hot sweat, and she couldn't breathe well.When he saw his ex-girlfriend Victoria, his countenance changed from happy to sorrowful. He swiftly looked at his driver, who was standing next to him, and his eyes sparkled with rage."What are you doing here?" "Get out before I call security to throw you out." He yelled angrily.She attempted to touch him, but he immediately stepped aside to avoid any contact with her, his head clo
