"Yes mom. I slept well." Anna replied her mother Maria Hickey as she conversed with her on phone."How about your manicures.""Mom, what do you take me for? I do not joke with my manicures mom.""So about your relationship life, how have you been coping? Can I now him? What am I saying? How is your relationship with that super rich guy who disguised himself as a driver, the one you brought on your birthday?""Mom, I am sorry but that is private." Anna replied but respectfully. She knew how inquisitive her mother could be, and hence she respected Romeo's privacy concerning his source of wealth and true identity.""Okay. So where are you now?""I am headed of to the company, I am going to work.""I am happy to hear that Anna, however don't forget to keep striving on because the sky is your limit, keep working hard and don't quit no matter what, can you do that for me?""Mom I have a tough skin, I can take on any challenge.""Okay, I will be off now, have a nice day.""Goodbye mom."Afte
"You can come in." Anna said, however she was still startled, as she looked up to see Mrs. Thelma Smith, the global relations officer of the company, standing in the doorway with a solemn expression."Mrs. Hickey, may I have a moment of your time?" Thelma's voice was soft, but there was an underlying gravity to her tone that sent a shiver down Anna's spine."Of course, Thelma. Please, come in," Anna replied, gesturing for her to enter.Thelma stepped into the room, her demeanor grave as she took a seat opposite Anna's desk. With a heavy sigh, she began, "I'm afraid I bring more troubling news, Mrs. Hickey. Our company has begun to lose investors."Anna's heart sank even further at the revelation. Losing investors would only exacerbate the already dire financial situation the company was facing."How could this happen, Thelma?" Anna asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Thelma took a deep breath before continuing, "It seems that several prominent investment groups have decided to w
Don Fransisco fixed Anna with a stern gaze, his dark eyes betraying none of the warmth that Anna desperately hoped to see. "Mrs. Hicky, let us be frank," he began, his voice carrying a weight that seemed to fill the room with tension. "Your company's performance has been nothing short of abysmal."Anna felt her stomach churn at his words, each one striking her like a blow to the gut. She had known that things were bad, but to hear it spoken aloud by someone as powerful as Don Fransisco only served to drive home the severity of the situation."We have watched as your company has hemorrhaged profits quarter after quarter," Don Fransisco continued, his tone growing more impassioned with each passing moment. "And despite our best efforts to offer guidance and support, it seems that your leadership has been unable to steer the ship away from disaster."Anna felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment as Don Fransisco laid bare the failures of her company for all to see. She knew that she ha
Anna's mind raced as she grappled with Don Fransisco's proposition. She knew she couldn't sacrifice her integrity, nor could she betray her own values for the sake of her company's survival. But the weight of the situation bore down on her like a leaden cloak, threatening to suffocate her resolve."Don Fransisco, I appreciate your offer," Anna began, with her voice trembling slightly. "But I cannot accept it. My principles and values forbid me from entering into such an arrangement, I respect your person and I hold you in the highest regard. I would happily do anything to please you but I just cannot involve myself in such scandalous act."Don Fransisco's expression darkened, as his eyes began to flash with barely contained anger. "You dare refuse me?" he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "Do you realize what is at stake here? Your company is on the brink of collapse, and without my support, it will surely crumble into dust."Anna felt a surge of fear grip her heart at Don Fransi
"I am Sheikh Zayed Al Hamid, director-general of the Green Coast Group," the voice on the other end of the line introduced himself.Anna's heart skipped a beat at the mention of the Green Coast Group. She had heard of them before but was not aware of the detailed information about them – However the green coast group was a powerful conglomerate known for their investments in agriculture. "It's an honor to speak with you, Sheikh Zayed," Anna replied, as her mind began racing with possibilities.Sheikh Zayed went on to express the Green Coast Group's passion for agriculture and their commitment to supporting companies rooted in the industry."Ms. Anna, for sometime now we have made some necessary research concerning My Fav Cereals and I must say, your dedication to pure agriculture is truly commendable," Sheikh Zayed remarked warmly. "Here at the Green Coast Group, we share the same passion for the agricultural sector and firmly believe in supporting companies like yours that are deepl
Two weeks after the bomb blast, Romeo still dilly dallying on the possible suspects of the bomb blast at the Yilaburg trade centre, entered the prison facility where Jensen was detained.He was accompanied by two soldiers as he strode down the labyrinthine corridors with prison cells where offenders of the law had occupied on his right and on his left.Soon he came upon an elevator that lifted him and his men two floors from the one they were.Upon reaching their destination, Romeo came upon a lock which required a finger print as the key to gain entrance to the iron door that stood before them.Romeo placed his thumb on the sensor and at once, the door was opened. He applied this measure of security because he didn't want to take any chances. He admired Jensen's skills of deception, adaptability and his ability to impersonate and meander his way through any place.Coupled with that, he admired his ability to fire long range shots. He believed that those skills would come in handy in
Upon the lingering haze of destruction and grief, General Romeo Stormbreaker stood alongside his military chiefs in a solemn assembly room there at the defence headquarters preparing to delve into the depths of the tragedy that had befallen the Yilaburg trade center. Dressed in their official military attire, their uniforms crisp and adorned with medals of honor, they exuded an aura of authority and determination.As they took their seats around the polished round table, General Stormbreaker's commanding presence filled the room. With a grave expression etched upon his features, he called for order, signaling the commencement of the meeting."My fellow military chiefs," he began, his voice resonating with solemnity. "It is imperative that we address the events that transpired at the Yilaburg trade center with the utmost urgency and diligence. As we all are aware, two weeks ago a great tragedy struck this state, one of the biggest economic hubs in the country was engulfed in an infer
General Stormbreaker's jaw clenched as he watched the scene unfold, and upon the knowledge that it was members of the Harte Boer on tv, his eyes began narrowing in anger and frustration. He exchanged a glance with his war chiefs, and he could see that their expressions had mirrored his own sense of unease.The masked man's voice boomed through the speakers, with his words dripping with venomous intent. "People of the state of Yilaburg," he began, his voice distorted by the mask, "It is no longer news that the Yilaburg trade centre met a tragic state about two weeks ago. Lives were lost, properties worth billions destroyed, and a great unease have befallen the citizens of Yilaburg, including the runt of a military governor, General Romeo Stormbreaker.""Bastard." Romeo uttered in a breathless whisper.However, the masked man continued his speech, speaking about how the trade centre has been taken over by corrupt figures, and how the method of commerce there had done nothing but make l
