Eric is shocked to hear Colton saying something similar to what he did but he told no one, if at all people should know, it should be in Hollywood because Amanda belonged to Hollywood, she has no business doing in his other companies, just like this one."You want me to tell you more?" Colton extends his head towards him, he jilts his head towards him and makes a funny sound. "Yeah, why not! What do you mean and who told you?""I have Amanda as my personal friend," he laughs. Eric opens his eyes real wide, his jaw drops. He stares at Colton like a zombie, no one would have made him believe that such relationship existed between both of them. With a nod of his head, he gestures to Colton to continue. "We were best friends back then in those days, even till now we are still close friends just that our intimacy is no longer as strong as it used to be before. This is due to the work stresses, you know, we don't see each other regularly and the fact that she needs to be with a guy whom s
After the survey, he returns to the bus with his team, together with Colton. They head back to the office but he doesn't have much to do here, he has something more important to do at his E-commerce store in Elden Avenue. Though it's called a store, it covers a massive area of land just like a mini-campus. All varieties of goods in the whole world are sold here, being divided into two divisions, one part is meant for physical sales while the other for orders. In each of his company, he has a convenient office in it and today is the day he is going to meet with the lady who has been qualified to be the managing director, being a very vital position, he had to be present to make the final interview where he is going to use his instinct and examine what type of a person she is. He learnt she is a woman, then he also planned initially to verify that whoever would be chosen would be capable of handling the position both in qualification and also pretending to values. He needs an honest pe
Scarlett becomes panicked deep inside her. The memories of all she did to Eric flashes back across her mind, she shrieks in horror. She realizes that she was way too mean. It's quite sad that now she is supposed to be enjoying the benefits of her change of lifestyle happens to be when she is going to bear the consequences of her actions. She is not even sure if Eric would accept her. "Good afternoon, sir." "What's good about the afternoon?" He asks her, giving her a bad stare that sends shock running through her veins. "No, actually……." "Shhhh!" Eric silences her even before she gets to complete her statement. She shrieks in shock. Then the door opens. He had pressed the dial on his phone which is meant to summon Hughes to his office. This is barely twenty minutes after Scarlett came in. "Yes sir," he responds to the summon with courtesy. "Why did you approve the appointment of this woman here? Don't you know that she is an abuser?" He yells at Hughes who is only surprised
The excited Scarlett wastes no time in signing it. Immediately after she signs the form, Eric rises from his seat dismissing her. "You can start work right away. My Personal Assistant would be available to guide you for your first three weeks here to make sure that you do the right thing always. You may now go!" After another ``Thank you`` she packs her things and leaves Eric's office straight to the exterior of the company but then she remembers that Eric asked her to start work immediately. "How foolish am I, going home when I'm actually asked to start work. Anyways, let me go to the toilet and call her." She refers to her mom. The toilet would prove the safest place for her to call Susan, after she locks the door, no one would be able to hear what she is saying. Even if she is questioned on where she went upon returning, she has the perfect excuse. She went to the toilet! Hurrying up, to the third floor where the administrative offices are, with the toilets and bathrooms for se
"The institution belongs to Eric and guess what more…." She leaves a space for suspense. "He accepted me! I have to start work immediately, I'm sorry I can't return home this afternoon as I promised to take you out and celebrate if I get the job." "Come on, that's not an issue as long as you have gotten the job. Why should you be bothered? We can go out at night! But I'm so surprised that he took you after all that you did to him?" Susan shrugs her shoulders, one part of her mind thinks that Eric is foolish for doing this, another voice inside her mind cautions her. Have you asked her if he talked about the maltreatment? This is one vital aspect of the scenario she should have asked right from the beginning but excitement wouldn't let her. "Scarlett, did you talk about the maltreatment you showed towards him and how sorry you are, what did he say?" "Yes mom. He seems not to be so bothered by that. I asked him how he felt, why he was giving me this job after all I did to him but
While at Scarlett's new workplace, she hurries out of the toilet to go meet Hughes who must be waiting for her. Looking at the hallway, she is able to navigate her way through the hallway to the office where she was shown. She knocks at the door, twice. "Come in!" A mild voice replies from inside. She opens the door and walks in. Behind the desk is Hughes sitting with his computer in front of her and he is typing something into it, merely seeing him, you would know that he is submerged in work. "Yes, how may I help you?" He asks her. "Please sit down!" He is kind enough to gesture to her to sit in one of the seats in front of him. Scarlett sits on it with a ``Thank you.`` She takes in a lump down her throat, then breathes out mildly, bracing herself for the task ahead. "I'm here because the CEO, Mr Eric, asked me to begin work immediately. So I felt that I needed to meet with you." "Yeah, you have done well. Okay, this is what you are going to do. First of all, I'm going to intr
Hughes, Eric's CEO finally settled Scarlett in her office which is located at the midst, as the third office on the right side of the third floor which is meant for the administrative officers. In no time, the tag above the door is replaced from the name of the former managing director, to hers, everything was prepared, just waiting for the CEO to approve of her and now he has, she is good to go. Hughes would be appointing someone, who is above Scarlett's ranking in the company to take her on what she is going to be doing for the next three weeks depending on how fast she is in picking what she's being shown. They give her some thirty minutes more to arrange her stuff and steady, then they come knocking. In a nervous voice and trying to be confident, she says, "come in!" She considers herself one of the luckiest in the world. Slowly, she raises her face to look at the two men before her. She recognized one but doesn't one. "Who is this second guy?" She asks herself with her eye
Entering his car, he begins to journey home, it would be taking some time but he will reach before or some minutes after four. He drives alone, doesn't wants to be driven. While inside the car, Eric tries to busy himself so he wouldn't feel bored at the one hour journey, with some minutes attached if there is traffic or some challenges which he believes wouldn't occur. Country music are his favorites and that's what he plays, he didn't want songs that would be distracting, some modern songs could be so obsessive, distracting, it could make him have issues like colliding with another car on the road. This is what he greatly wants to avoid. With the flow of the songs, he drives steadily, remembering his past life which just turned history not quite long ago, once again, it seems like a dream, a non-reality, such thing was too mysterious to be understood until it's explained. That was what he would say great luck! After a long journey, as what he considered, he pulled his Bentley sl
