"Why are you calling me by this time, you godforsaken old cargo?" Mr. Sterling sneered, with disdain over the phone and loudspeaker.Everyone could hear him loud and clear. Pa Aaron's heart sank as he heard Mr. Thomas Sterling's voice thundering through the phone. The powerful businessman was clearly furious. What could have gone wrong?Pa Aaron felt very embarrassed but knew he had to respond with humility to salvage the situation. "I... I'm deeply sorry, Mr. Sterling. It's just that everyone here was getting impatient, and I thought… I thought that…"Mr. Sterling interrupted him, not willing to hear what he wanted to say. "You thought? You thought?! Do you know what you and your beggar family have caused my family?"The family members seated in a corner couldn't understand what was happening and why Mr. Thomas Sterling was so furious with their father, Pa Aaron."I deeply regret any inconvenience this call must have caused, you, Mr. Sterling.""And you still dare call to invite me
James kept walking closer to where every member of the Carl family was seated.He was beside himself with joy as he saw the gloomy faces of everyone. He smiled inwardly to himself.But before he could get any closer, Henry got up and tried to push him."Hey son of a b*tch what are you doing here? You have got guts to be here right now."James quickly held his hands and pushed him aside and proceeded to where everyone was seated.Henry staggered and then fell to the ground because of how hard James pushed him."How dare you push my son, you jerk?" Kate cried out. "You have the guts to lay your filthy hands on him…"Kpai! She slapped James across the face but James was too quick and dodge the slap."Yes, and I'll do it again." James interrupted her and continued to walk towards them.The remaining people who were still around were stunned, and those who were deciding to leave decided to wait and watch how everything would play out."Look! It's the Carl family's used to be good for not
All the men in the Carl's family gathered around James, ready to show him a lesson he would never forget in his entire existence, even in his next life.But unknown to them, James had managed to signal the head of the ESU agents who was outside the gate with his companions. Quickly, they made their way into the main compound where everyone was. "Stop!"A commanding voice suddenly interrupted the whole members of the Carl family who had now hooked James by the collar. Everyone turned to see what was happening, and they were surprised and at the same time shocked to their bone marrow! The violence came to a halt as they all realized who the unexpected visitors were.ESU Agents? Their sudden appearance at this moment only means that there is going to be more trouble! Could it be that Mr Sterling had sent them to get the whole family arrested?The few remaining guests couldn't believe their eyes. It was evident that the Carl family had gotten themselves into a heap of trouble for cross
As early as 5 am, James prepared and left for work. He was so keen on keeping up with this game he was playing that he didn't want anything to jeopardize it.When James got to work, all eyes fell on him. The workers at Emerald Multisource Cooperation began to wonder how he was able to challenge both the Carl's and the Sterlings, and get their sons arrested.To some, it was practically impossible. 'How could he possibly do it?' 'it seems he has an external family backing him up. But who? While to the other workers, he was indirectly digging his own grave. No one ever crosses the Carl and goes scout free.James passed through the gate and tried as much as possible to avoid having an encounter with the two security guards. Luckily for him, they just stared roughly at him and let him in. He smiled at them but they looked away. 'Perhaps, the news of yesterday's arrest must have gotten to them. How news flies'.He got to the dressing room and put on his work clothes before joining the oth
"Big Mom, do you have a business with this Moron?" One of the security guards asked Kate, trying to sound concerned."Did he offend you?" The other one asked."Yes. He got my son arrested." She replied sharply, not wanting to continue the conversation."Damn! This moron is really getting on our nerves. How dare he? Doesn't he know who you're?""First, it's the Sterlings, now It's the Carls." The first guard said to his fellow."Mom, how can we help?""Just take me to him or show me where he could be right now." Kate said, growing impatient already. "I'll deal with him myself."Kate knows them better than anyone. They never really cared about anyone, only feigning concern to get favor from people. And she's not ready for their facade and fake praises and likes."Ok Mom. Follow me."Kate followed him and he led her through the compound and into the company's main building.People who recognized her began to whisper among themselves."Look! It's the Managers Mom.""Who knows what she's c
All the workers in the scene all kept mute when they realized who just asked the question.'Mr. Sterling!'"Are you all deaf?" Mr Sterling barked again. "What's going on here?"Even though Mr Sterling is no longer the CEO, everyone still fears him as he has a commanding presence and still acts like the CEO."A… A janitor and a middle-aged woman are having a scuffle, sir." One of the workers said, breaking the silence."A Janitor and a potential customer? How could this be? Does he want to ruin Emerald Multisource Corporation.?" Mr. Sterling barked with anger. He couldn't understand why this was happening now that Lana Wane and Eric Wood were around. What would they think of him? A Director who doesn't know how to discipline his workers. He must make sure he deals with this so-called low life of a janitor who does not understand that the customers are always right."Separate them, and bring them to me." Mr Sterling ordered the security guards with them."Yessir!"Without hesitation,
Mr. Sterling stopped immediately. He had hoped that Lana Wane and Eric Woods, the new CEO would be comfortable with the judgment he passed.'Who wouldn't love such judgements,' he thought. 'The rich are always happy with such judgements and he doesn't think they wouldn't be comfortable. But as it stands now it feels like she doesn't approve of it with the way she called out to him.Even the already dispersing crowd began to gather once more to hear what she was about to say."Look! It's Lana Wane. She wants to have a say in the matter.""Oh my God! I hate this woman already. What position does she hold in the company, by the way?" Kate queried. She doesn't want her to ruin the situation."Shsss, Mom. That's rude." Alisha told her mother.Lana then said, "Nice judgment Mr. Sterling. But I think it's not so nice at all."Mr. Sterling was agitated. "Sorry? Miss?"Kate's face turned red."I said it! This woman is about to jeopardize everything." a supporter of Mr. Sterling whispered."Be
The next day was a saturday. James was still in bed even when it was past 9 am. in the morning.Last night, he couldn't sleep. He kept rolling and tossing on the bed.As soon as he closed from work, he went straight to the small motel room he had booked days back. The fact that the security guards let him leave without questioning him surprised him.He had thought that the company would try to not let him leave since he's now under their debt.But that wasn't what was bothering him the most.What was going through his mind the whole time was his encounter with Alisha at her office.The memory of the whole encounter with her kept replaying in his head.He wasn't sure of how to react either. He couldn't deny the fact that she cared for him dearly, and a part of him felt like he still cared for her.'This is all useless! Am I missing her or what?' he thought.The more he tried to get her off his mind, the more he thought about her."Ahhh!" He lamented. "What's happening to me! Come off
