Back in his office after the meeting has ended, Joseph Breaker, the CEO of the rival company, watched Justin and his friends leave the building from the security cameras in his office with a mix of frustration and unhappiness. The encounter at the boutique had really left a sour taste in his mouth, and he was determined to use any available opportunity to undermine Justin’s position.Once they had left, Joseph called on his senior executives and key advisors for an impromptu meeting. His large office was quickly filled up with the senior executives seated around his large desk as they had curious glances on.“Alright.” Joseph started to address them as they were all seated, his voice was low but intense. “We need to deal with the Drogonuv executive that just left now and his demands. He is making very serious allegations about corporate espionage , and we can not afford to let this slide. If he is not careful, which I think he won’t be, he could cause very serious damage to the reputa
As Justin, his assistant, Mark and Robert made their way through the busy streets towards the company’s building, each of their minds were preoccupied with personal thoughts about the ongoing investigation and what they would do in ensuring it goes smoothly. The weight of the recent confrontation with Joseph Breaker is still fresh in their minds, especially after getting his company’s response a day later. Justin, however, was determined to stay focused as he made his plan. He would not let anything stop him.As he continued to think, his thoughts were distracted as his phone rang, cutting through the hum of conversation in the taxi. He looked at the screen and saw it was Lilly’s mother calling him. He was slightly surprised and his face turned into a frown as he answered the call, not sure of why she was calling and what to expect from her.“Hello?” He said with a steady voice.“Mr. Justin, hello, it is Lilly’s mother.” Her anxious voice came through on the other end. “I hope I am no
As Justin, followed by Mark, his assistant, entered the CEO’s office after they got to the building, they were shocked to say the least when they walked in on him doing something that was rather unprofessional and heartbreaking. He was in the middle of an intense love making relationship with someone, who was none other than the wife of Justin’s classmate, Robert. The office has been turned into a private room for their escapades.Justin’s face was red with anger and disbelief. The action of the CEO, which was his lack of discretion, was infuriating, but the fact that the secretary was married to his friend only added more to his frustration. Without giving room for hesitation, he launched forward, with his voice sounding out sharply across the room.“This is totally unprofessional!” Justin shouted, his tone was very fierce but firm. “You are in your office and conducting yourself in this manner is very disgraceful not only to this company but to all who work here. This is unacceptabl
At the Tucson’s office, the atmosphere was vibrant as happiness filled the air. They were celebrating the unexpected boost in their benefits from the project they worked on for Drogonuv Corporation. They were drinks and snacks available for their workers to wine and dine with. Inflated balloons were also hung to add color to the celebration. “This is so unbelievable.” Lilly’s mother, Mrs. Tucson, said, with her eyes shedding tears of joy. “I did not think things could have turned around so quickly just the way we had hoped.”Mr. Tucson, Lilly’s father nodded appreciatively, raising his glass as he drank from it. “To Justin, for helping us make this possible. We are finally getting the dividends of our hard work.”The conversation in the office was lively as everyone chartered happily. They were laughing and their faces were filled with gratitude as the new increase in benefits also affected them positively in terms of their compensation. Lilly had just walked in, she was also happy a
Her parent’s face were filled with concern and were trying their best to offer comfort. The celebratory mood in the office now slightly dimmed as they were now focused on her. The joy of their recent financial boost now overshadowed by the advice they were now trying to give to her as regards her relationship with Meeky. She was clearly in distress and her parents are not happy with it.They wrapped her in a soft blanket. She was still crying and her eyes were so red. Her parents look so worried. They looked at each other before her father spoke up in a very gentle voice, trying not to upset her. “Diana, we have been thinking lately. We think it might be in your best interest if you actually break up with Meeky. From everything we have heard and seen, it appears he is obviously not treating you with the respect you deserve.”Diana looked up at her father, she had a look of sadness and frustration on her face. “I understand you are trying to help Dad but I just can not do it. I can not
The tension in the office was thick and evident as Justin, still visibly angry, turned back to look at his friend, Robert. His friend’s face was still that of shock and disbelief, not able to fully take in the weight of the situation in front of him. The betrayal he had just witnessed was too much for him to process. It was not that he did not think that his wife and the CEO were not having sex but to see it with his own eyes is another level of pain. He was still thinking when Justin’s voice brought him to reality as it sounded with authority.With an air of authority, Justin said to his friend, Robert, almost in a demanding tone. “You need to divorce her right now.” he said it in a way that it leaves no room for debate. “This is not just about her infidelity anymore. It is about her lack of total respect for you. She clearly does not regard you and you obviously deserve better than this.”His friend stood, not knowing how to reply, his eyes moving from Justin to his wife, Cynthia, w
As Justin and his friends turned around and walked away from the CEO’s office, he was surprisingly calm, making the earlier tension slowly disappeared as everyone looked on quietly. When they got outside, away from the CEO’s office, his assistant, Mark, who had been silent all along, observing the whole scene, could not help but voice out what he was thinking.“Sir, I hope you do not mind me asking this?” He started talking cautiously, not wanting his words to offend Justin, especially given the present situation. “Why did you apologize to that man? It is very unlike you to back down, especially in a delicate situation like this.”Justin stopped in his tracks and paused for a moment, considering his reply. He appreciated his assistant’s concern and knew that the man only has his best interests at heart. He turned to face him, his eyes showing that he had something up his sleeves.“I did not back down, Mark.” he replied with a calm voice. “I only wanted to buy us more time and also fee
The evening lights cast a very dim glow across the living room where Justin and his friends were seated, waiting in the darkness. They were waiting for Cynthia, Robert’s wife to come back home. They have planned out their every moves, which involves jamming the phone network and asides them, they also had other people in place in strategic positions that is not visible. They were security personnel. Justin planned all this because what ever he is here to do is very important to know the truth and he did not leave any stone unturned.The door creaked with a loud noise, and Cynthia came inside, completely unaware of what was waiting for her. She turned on the light, only to be surprised to see Justin, Robert and Justin's assistant, Mark, seated calmly in her living room. She was so shocked, she stood frozen on that spot for a moment as she try to understand what was going on in front of her.With a calm voice that also seems to carry with it an evil menace that is so obvious, Justin spo
