"Mum, what the hell are you saying?" Ivy screamed at her mother, jumping up from her seat."Young woman, you will take your seat and listen to me.""No mum, I'm done listening to you. What did master Dexter do to deserve such from you, he has only treated you with respect.""The "why" of the matter is none of your business, you're going to do as I've instructed."Ivy snatched her coat from the chair."Over my dead body!" She stated darkly and made to leave the room."Then consider yourself no longer a member of the company."Ivy stopped in her tracks.Her mother rose up from her chair."I still own five percent more shares than anyone on the board so it doesn't matter if you're CEO. I put you there and I can take you out."Ivy gasped,"What has come over you mum?" She whispered, life drained from her."Will you listen to me now or not?" Ivy's resolve strengthened again,"No mother, if that's what you want me to do, I won't and can't do it. I am master Richmond's liaison with all the
"Since he's already using you as a tool, why not just let him have a taste of his own medicine."Ivy looked at her mother, she was unhappy and it was obvious."But mum, that'll be me jumping into his palms openly isn't that it?" "That's the best way, you hit him when he doesn't suspect, you've finally come to your senses and not that useless delusion of being special to him.""Fine," Ivy replied, her voice edgy.She was hurting but trying to cover up the pain, the truth of her mother's words hit her; Dexter truly didn't care about her, she was just his tool."Vy, Ivy you here?""Yeah mum, what's the plan to bring him down?""It's easy, seducing him, he falls for you and then you strike. It shouldn't be hard; he is already using you as a tool you only have to make him fall for your charm as a woman, make him trust you completely and blindly.""Alright, I'll do it mum, I've still got a little charm in me, so don't worry about it mother." Ivy's resolve getting stronger this time in agr
"Hello Stephanie, how are you?" Priscilla Wayne said to Stephanie Sannis over the phone."I've been good, Priscilla. Just a little stress from work but all is fine." Her voice was urgent, filled with a sense of determination that Priscilla knew all too well."I have spoken to my daughter, although at first she disagreed but now she's agreed to follow through with the plan." Stephanie said, her tone resolute.Leaning forward on her desk, her brow furrowing with concern."Are you sure she agreed willingly to do this, Stephanie? It's a risky move and we can't afford any missteps.""I understand the risks, Priscilla. And that's why we made it look unsuspecting." Stephanie replied firmly."I've made it clear to her that this is the only way to protect her interests and ensure the company's future." Priscilla sighed, knowing that she had made the right decision manipulating the Stannis, but pretended to show concern."I just worry about the potential consequences. We don't want to put her i
Dexter sat at his desk, the glow of his computer screen illuminating the dimly lit office in his house. He tapped his pen on the desk absentmindedly trying to focus on the sales strategy for the Malibu District head company, but his mind kept drifting back to Ivy.He muttered to himself, "Alright, Dexter. Focus. You need to come up with a solid plan to boost sales in Malibu. But why can't I shake this feeling of distraction?"He stares at his computer screen, trying to gather his thoughts, but his mind kept wandering."Come on, Dexter. Get it together. You've got a team counting on you, and the success of the company depends on your strategy, he said already frustrated with himself. He takes a deep breath, trying to clear his mind and regain focus.“Alright, let's start by analyzing the current market trends and identifying potential growth opportunities, I need to think outside the box and find innovative ways to connect with the customers.” He said, determined.Despite his efforts,
Dexter rushed into the hospital, his heart pounding in his chest. He spotted Mrs. Stannis, in the waiting area and hurried over to her. “Mrs. Stannis, what happened? Is Ivy okay?” Dexter asked, his voice filled with concern.Mrs Stannis' eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked at Dexter with a mixture of anguish and accusation. “Dexter, where were you? Why wasn't she with you? Sonia was in a car accident, and it's all your fault!”Dexter was taken aback by her words,“Mrs. Stannis, I...I don't understand. What do you mean it's my fault? What happened?”Tears streamed down Mrs. Stannis's face as she spoke.“Ivy got a call from you as she prepared for the office, she quickly left her room hurriedly and rushed for her car to head to the office, that's when it happened. She was so worried after the call, and now she's lying in that hospital because of it.”Dexter felt a pang of guilt and sorrow wash over him although confused over the call part but he chose not to say anything,
Richard paced back and forth in his office, his mind racing with the weight of the press accusations against Dexter. He picked up his phone answering the numerous calls coming in, determined to provide explanations and clear Dexter's name.“Hello, this is Richard speaking. I understand there are concerns about the news regarding Dexter and Ivy. Let me assure you, Dexter did not push Ivy to the accident she's involved in. The press has distorted the facts.”“But Richard, the headlines are everywhere. How can we trust that Dexter is innocent?” The first caller asked, he was desperate to get information so he could cover the story himself.Richard heaving a sigh replied calmly “I understand your skepticism, but we are gathering evidence to prove Dexter's innocence. We'll make sure the truth comes out.” Richard said, his voice convincing.Dexter enters the room also on a call with one of the nosy reporters, “Hello, Dexter here. I've been receiving calls about the news. I want to assure ev
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today. I want to address the serious allegations that have been circulating. I categorically deny any involvement in the accident that Ivy was involved in, your questions can come in now.” Dexter stood at the podium, his figure intimidating to the public.The first reporter asked,“Mr Dexter, can you provide an alibi for the time of the accident?”“Absolutely. During the time of the accident, I was on my way to a business meeting with some dignitaries when I got a call from her mother, Mr Richard can vouch for my presence. I have evidence to support my claim.” Dexter replied to him more boldly and confidently.“How do you explain the eyewitness accounts that place you at the scene?” The second reporter asked.“I understand that there may be eye witness accounts but I assure you that they are mistaken. I was not present at the accident scene.” He said, his voice getting deeper which meant he was angry but he kept his temper in check.“Wh
Ivy and Dexter enter the room, ready to face the skeptical shareholders.“Alright, Dexter, let's show them what we're made of. We need to convince them that the rumors are just baseless rumors.” Ivy said her confidence exuding through her smile.“Sure, Ivy. We'll lay out our strategy and present the facts, they'll see that our company has a solid foundation and a bright future.”They walked down together to the conference room where the highest shareholders were seated. As they entered, Ivy and Dexter sit at their respective chairs from the shareholders, their faces set in determined expressions. Ivy leans forward, her hands clasped on the table, exuding confidence and poise.“Thank you for meeting with us today. We understand your concerns about the recent events, but we believe that liquidating your stocks is not the best course of action.” Ivy said calmly.Dexter sits tall, his voice steady and authoritative as he speaks.“We have a solid plan in place to address the challenges we
