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
The tension in the room was high as Justin's friend, Robert reached for his briefcase. His hands was trembling as he pulled out a stack of papers that represented his freedom, the divorce papers that would finally help him cut ties with his toxic wife forever.He handed over the papers to his wife with a mixed feeling of apprehension and impending relief. He had waited a long time for this moment, enduring periods of betrayal and emotional torture. Now he can rebuild his life with this divorce papers.“Sign them.” Justin said to her. He was authoritative as he spoke. He watched her closely with an unwavering gaze as she collected the papers from her husband’s hand.She hesitated to sign it, her eyes looking between the papers and the faces of those in the room. The the fact she was clearly under their mercy and did not have any control over the situation made her uneasy and for a short moment, she wanted to consider refusing signing it. But when she saw the stern look on the security
“I will work for you.” she finally said, her voice was low. “I will do what ever you want me to do.”Justin leaned back in his chair, clearly satisfied with her final decision. “Good. Because now, you belong to me. And you will have to prove your loyalty by helping me to take down the man you have been sleeping with. I mean the CEO.”Her heart sank as she realized her situation. It was like moving from frying pan to fire. She looked uncertain but she also knew she had no other choice than to obey Justin's orders as her life depended on it.Justin leaned forward again with a stern expression. “Now Cynthia, now that you have made the right choice. Let us discuss the terms of our agreement.”Cynthia looked at him with her hands clasping her laps tightly. She didn’t know what to expect. She only agreed to work for him as a way out of this situation.“Here is the deal.” Justin continued. You will be our informant in the office. Your main assignment will be to give us any piece of informati
Justin’s classmate, Robert was so relived and grateful, as he went home in a car together with Justin and Mark, his eyes taking in the surroundings of his home. The weight of the divorce from his unfaithful wife had vanished, and for a brief moment, he could fee the hope of a fresh start. He turned around to Justin with an expression full of gratitude and sincere appreciation.Justin smiled. “You are welcome Robert. It feels so good to be of help.”“Thank you Justin.” he said with his voice laden with emotions. “I can not tell you how much this means to me. I did not think I would be free from her that soon, and now I have a chance to rebuild my life.”The car came to a halt in front of Robert's house. As he alighted from the car, Justin and his assistant remained in the car to Robert have a moment of privacy. However, as he approached his front door, he was shocked to meet an unexpected and unpleasant sight.The front door was locked, and a large eviction notice was placed on the d
After Justin and Robert, together with his assistant, Mark left the CEO’s office, the CEO was so furious as he was scattering things in his office. His pride had been bruised by the audacity of Justin when he challenged him for having sex with Cynthia in his office. His mind was filled with thoughts on how to get back at Justin. The apology earlier did not do much to pacify him. He needed to show Justin that he calls the shots but he could not come up with any plan on how to deal with him. He was from another country and although he considered him a low executive from the Head quarters, the truth was that he did not know how best to show to him that he controls this place. So his only resort was to inflict more pain on Robert. He has always been an easy target. He knows that if he get backs at Justin through Robert, he would feel the might of his power.But even if he wanted to use Robert as a scapegoat to deal with Justin, he did not know how to go about that. What he was used to doi
Robert quickly hurried to his landlord’s office, hoping to hear whatever explanation the man may have for the sudden eviction without notifying him before hand. As he got to the office, he saw the man. He was seated behind his desk, looking through his phone.He looked up as he noticed Robert walked in. He was about to say something when Robert fell on his knees and started begging him. “Please sir.” Robert started begging with his voice shaking out of desperation. “You can not do this. I need some more time if you would evict me. I have no where else to go at the moment.”The landlord stared at Robert with an expressionless face. “Look, Robert, it is nothing personal. I just needed that space for somethings and I have no choice than to evict you. I am sorry it was impromptu.”Robert was surprised at the reason the landlord gave him. Not that he was expecting anything positive but he just could not wrap his head around the fact everything was just so sudden. If he had been given tim
