That evening, Williams got dressed and drove to Diamond Ville, where Eric lived. When he arrived at the gate, a security guard stopped him."Who are you?" the security guard asked."I'm Williams Jesse. I'm here to see Mr. Wood," Williams replied."Do you have an appointment?" the guard questioned."No," Williams admitted."Then you need to leave. You can't see him without an appointment," the guard insisted.Williams didn't want to give up so easily. "Listen, I understand the rules, but this is important. If the virus in EMC's system isn't stopped, it could ruin everything. It might even mean you won't get your salary. Worse, you could lose your job."The security guard paused, he was unsure of what to do next. Finally, he said, "Okay, wait here. I'll call Mr. Wood and see what he says."The guard called Eric and explained the situation. "This man, Williams Jesse, is here without an appointment. He's talking about a virus at EMC," the guard said.Eric was hesitant at first. After a mo
"Oh! That? Oh, that was Lana Wane, you know, Ryan Wane's daughter. Sometimes, you have to tell a little lie to women, or they get upset," Williams said, trying to hide the real reason he lied to Lana. The truth of the matter is that he doesn't want her to know about his discussion with Eric. “Are you guys dating?” Eric asked Williams. "Well, sort of. We're just getting to know each other. Talking stage." Williams said. "Oh wow. That's cool and nice," Eric replied. They sat silent for awhile, each deep in his own thoughts before Williams broke the silence. “Forgive my manners Mr. Wood. But I should have asked about your family. You know that's the first time I should have asked you after you singlehandedly rescued them from Gomer Frenté and his men. You saved them from that kidnapper, Gomer Frenté, right? What's the update of the matter? Any clue as to who sent them?" Williams asked. When Williams asked about the kidnap, Eric realized he was in the middle of something before Will
Chapter 101The next day, Eric called for an urgent meeting of the board of directors. All the key stakeholders and board members gathered in the conference room.Eric welcomed everyone with a firm handshake and introduced them to each other as needed."Good morning, everyone," Eric began, addressing the room when everyone had settled. "As you all know, we've been facing a persistent threat from a virus that's been affecting our company's systems for weeks now."He gestured to a young man sitting at the table. "I'd like to introduce Williams Jesse, who has been instrumental in neutralizing the virus and safeguarding our systems."Williams nodded politely and waved to the room.Eric continued, "Williams has been working tirelessly to identify and eliminate the source of the virus, and his efforts have been commendable. However, we still need to address the root cause of these attacks to prevent future incidents."The room erupted with murmuring from all corners.“Now, I'd like for Will
Chapter 102“Promotions are done with time, Williams. You can't just wake up one morning and become a head of any department. Besides, we have Sam as the head of the technical department.” Eric said.“You're right. But, if we keep considering this we may lose everything we all worked for over the years. So as the Director of the board, I want to make Williams the Head of the technical department.” Mr. Sterling took the bull by the horn.There was silence in the room. Nobody spoke for almost a minute and then Eric broke the silence.“It's a good idea but how about Sam?”“What about him?” Mr. Sterling asked rudely.“I think Sam is not fit to be the Head of the Technical department because if he was, he should have been here, instead of me.” Williams said.“So is everyone agreeing to this?” Mr. Sterling said and looked around the room.The board members looked at each other, and then began nodding one after the other.None of them dared to object Mr. Sterling's proposal and they thought
Chapter 103Lana had finally convinced Williams to go on a double date with her, Ellen, and James.According to what she told Williams, James wanted to make things right after messing up their last dinner date.That evening, She was a bit nervous but excited.Not just about the date but also because Williams told her that he has been promoted.She and Ellen wore their best dresses, while James and Williams chose smart casual outfits.James picked a nice Italian restaurant downtown, known for its cozy atmosphere and great food.When they met outside the restaurant, Lana and Ellen greeted each other with warm smiles while James and Williams shook hands and tried to leave any awkwardness behind.“You know, last time, you refused to shake my hands, James. I wonder what happened now.” Williams said and everyone burst out laughing.“I guess I have repented.” James said sarcastically and they all laughed again. But William was faking his.As they sat down at their reserved table, the waiter
Chapter 104"Oh yes, Lana is my boss, as you know I'm her chauffeur and I happened to also become friends with her friend Ellen so I must say I'm a lucky man.”“Oh really?”“Yes”"You said you're a chauffeur, is that the only work you do?"The question hit James like a thunderbolt. But before he could answer. Lana covered up for him."Yes" But the answer only betrayed James further because William knows about him from Elson."Oh really?" Williams said sarcastically. "You must have a twin without your knowledge at EMC, because I saw someone looking like you who works there as a janitor. Williams mocked and laughed.James was at a loss for words. "Oh that. I work part-time. “You do part time? But EMC doesn't accept part-time employees. Your story is not quite adding up here lol.”"I um,...” James said and trailed off."Well, James is not a full time employee because he doesn't have the certificate to become a staff at EMC. He was only employed there because he once helped Mr. Wood, and
Chapter 105In Richard Carl's home on a Saturday morning, he lay sick in bed while his wife Kate rained insults and frustration upon him."Kate, please help me, I need to use the bathroom," Richard pleaded."You always bother me, you stupid man!" Kate snapped back."Please, Kate, don't treat me like this. I'm your husband," Richard said weakly.“Ha! What did you say?”Alisha, their daughter, entered the room and scolded her mother for her harsh words. "Mom, he's still your husband," she reminded her. “Stop treating dad like this because he is sick.”"Husband my foot. Who asked him to invest his money into a scam now see the outcome. I can't take this anymore. I'm leaving this house today." Kate said and began packing her bags to go over to her father, Pa Aaron's home.She saw no future with Richard again and can't continue with the marriage."Mom, please don't go, he's your husband.""I'm broke because of him and now, I'm filing for divorce. I can't stay with him anymore. He's ruined
Chapter 106Williams drove directly to Mr. Sterling's mansion to discuss the next line of action in their plans.When he got there, he was ushered into Mr. Sterling's parlor."Hello, Williams," Mr. Sterling greeted as he descended from the stairs."Hello, Mr. Sterling," Williams replied, extending his hand for a handshake.They shook hands firmly."Now, let's get down to business. What's the plan moving forward?" Mr. Sterling inquired."I have a plan," Williams replied confidently. "Once I have gained access to the control unit and can navigate through every sector of EMC. We'll frame Mrs. Lee as the person who sent the virus to EMC, citing her Chinese heritage as a reason for suspicion. Once she's implicated and evicted, you can assume control of the financial department, while I'll pretend to be removing the virus to make the wire transfer process smoother. It'll take weeks to avoid suspicion. Additionally, I'll bill Eric an astronomical amount for tools and software supposedly need
