"That's true! I wonder why I didn't notice it sooner." Junior exclaimed, looking around to see if he may have missed them.

"I wonder if they changed their mind. Maybe they decided not to show up." Elise suggested.

Junior scoffed, "Not to show up? That's impossible. In fact, you have to be joking."

"They aren't here yet, what do you expect me to think?" Elise asked.

"Jasmine would rather die than not show up to this party, I'm sure her parents too. You needed to have seen her. She was way too excited when I invited her to miss it." Junior explained.

Elise was about to reply when their attention was drawn to the door.

It wasn't just them, everyone's attention was drawn as well.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, a hush fell over the crowd as Mr and Mrs Bank, along with their impeccably dressed daughter, Jasmine, gilded towards the group like characters from another era.

Dressed in evening gowns and suit that might have been more appropriate for a red carpet event, the Banks stood out like a

    Extending a hand, Junior helped Micah get back on his feet. Thankfully, not many people witnessed what had happened."I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you." Janet said."It's fine, Janet. I'm sorry for bumping into you too." Micah replied."Pardon me, but, what exactly are you doing here?" She asked.Micah was hesitant to answer, so Elise spoke on his behalf."He works for Junior.""Interesting." Janet replied, one eyebrow raised. "What exactly do you do for him?" She asked.""I... uh, I'm actually his driver." Micah answered, his voice softened and his shoulders slumped slightly. His gaze seemed to drop, and he avoided making direct eye contact with Janet."Oh my! What a shame. I heard about it, but I refused to believe it was true." She replied.She then leaned forward, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and disappointment. "Micah," she began, her tone cutting through the air, "I just can't understand how you've let yourself end up like this. Your father's company collapsed,

    "Before I forget, how did the interview go?" Junior asked.Micah's eyes shifted slightly, and he cleared his throat before responding, "Uh, well, you know, it was... it was okay, I guess." His fingers nervously tapped against his trouser, a telltale sign of his unease.Junior's eyebrows raised as he detected Micah's hesitation. "Just 'okay'? How did it really go?"Micah's cheeks flushed, and he shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "Well, when I first mentioned it to you, you seemed pretty nonchalant about the whole thing," he stammered. "So, I guess I was kind of, um, surprised. But, yeah, the interview went... decently. They asked about my experience and all."Junior's playful expression shifted into a look of realization, and he straightened up. "Wait, you thought I didn't care? Micah, I was just trying to play it cool, man! I'm actually really interested in how it went."Micah's shoulders relaxed slightly, and a sheepish smile tugged at his lips. "Oh, I see. Well, in that

    "I beg your pardon?" Micah asked."If you get this job, you're free to leave. Our business is over." Junior repeated.Micah's eyes widened in astonishment, his heart skipping a beat as Junior's words hung in the air like a sudden thunderclap on a clear day. His jaw went slack, and he struggled to find his voice, his thoughts racing to catch up with the unexpected turn of events.A myriad of emotions played across Micah's features like a rapid slideshow, disbelief, shock, and a touch of vulnerability. He had been asking for those words for months, staying up late many nights. Now, hearing that he could go, it felt unreal. He looked confused as he tried to understand what Junior really meant, thinking hard to figure out the deeper messages.Micah's stance changed a bit, his shoulders loosening as if the burden of time lifted for a moment. A cautious smile appeared at the edge of his mouth, showing both relief and uncertainty. It was like a door he hadn't dared to open had suddenly open

    However, their moment was interrupted by a voice from behind."What's going on here?" Jasmine asked.Both men untangled themselves from each other and turned to look at her."Nothing." Junior replied."That didn't look like nothing to me." Jasmine commented."It was just a hug." Micah said."A hug? Since when did drivers hug their bosses?" She inquired."Micah and I are more than boss and driver. We're friends." Junior answered.Micah's heart warmed as he heard Junior's words. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and his eyes lit up with genuine happiness."I wasn't aware that the both of you are now friends." Jasmine said."You're not aware of a lot of things, Jasmine" Changing the topic, he asked "Do you need something?""Actually, I do. I need you." She answered in a flirtatious tone.With one last knowing look and nod in Micah's direction, Junior asked Jasmine to lead the way. Jasmine spurned in her heels and walked back into the party with Junior behind her.Jasmine's voice

    "Darling?" Elise repeated with an eyebrow raised, "Since when?""I'm equally as surprised as you are." Junior replied."Well, we'll soon show her how much of a darling you can." Elise said with a smirk. "And now, to the reason I'm here…" However, before she could finish that sentence, Junior gently placed a finger on her lips, his playful eyes locking onto hers. A puzzled smile crept onto Elise's lips as she raised an eyebrow."What are you doing?" she asked, her voice soft and curious.Junior's gaze held a mischievous glint as he replied, "Have I told you how ravishing you look?" A faint blush spread across Elise's cheeks, the unexpected compliment catching her off guard.She let out a light chuckle, feigning nonchalance. "Oh, come on, Junior. You're just being silly."But he wasn't about to let her off the hook that easily. With a grin, he continued, "No, really. Your smile could outshine the sun, and those eyes... they hold galaxies within them."Elise bit her lip, struggling to h

    It was Janet Banks. "Mrs Banks. How lovely it is to see you. Would you like to join the interview?" Greg asked. "That's if Mr Miller wouldn't mind.""It's fine, she can join us." Junior said.Janet then moved over to join them with Jasmine right behind her."Without asking, I can tell you're having a wonderful time, Mrs Banks." Greg said."Sure, the party is simply delightful." Janet replied."If I may ask though, what was it you and your daughter found so hilarious? Care to fill me in?" Greg asked."Oh, it's nothing serious. We overheard your question and it made us chuckle." Janet answered."Why's that?" Greg inquired."Oh, Greg, I must start by saying that I am absolutely bursting with pride when it comes to my dear Junior," Janet began, her eyes sparkling with a mix of genuine affection and well-practiced charm. "From his early days, he showed such promise, and look at him now, the esteemed CEO of D'Miller brand, the jewel of our city's business landscape."Greg nodded, captiva

    Jasmine was surprised by Greg's sudden question. Her eyes got bigger, like ripples in water, and her hazel irises looked lively. She was caught off guard, and her breath stopped briefly. Her face turned a little red, starting from her neck up to her cheeks. She looked confused, with her eyebrows coming together. In that still moment, her whole expression showed how mixed up she felt, surprised and a bit exposed.However, she quickly regained her composure. "I'm sorry, Greg, could you repeat your question?" She asked."I said, If you encouraged, loved and believed him so much, why then did you divorce him?" Greg repeated.Jasmine gazed into the distance, "You see," she began, "loving someone isn't always about holding onto them tightly. It's about understanding that sometimes, the best way to show your love is by letting them go. When I encouraged, loved, and believed in him, it wasn't with the intention of chaining him to me, but rather to see him thrive, even if it meant apart from

    The party had come to an end. Amidst the lively chatter and music that filled the air, Junior stepped into the center of the room, capturing everyone's attention. The warm glow of fairy lights illuminated his confident smile as he raised his glass. Silence fell like a hush over the bustling gathering, anticipation shimmering in the eyes of the guests.Junior's voice resonated with a blend of sincerity and excitement as he began his heartfelt thank-you speech."Ladies and gentlemen, Good evening and thank you for joining us tonight to celebrate not just business partnerships, but the genuine friendships and connections that make our journeys meaningful. Your presence here tonight is a testament to the strength of our relationships, and for that, I am truly grateful.In the fast-paced world we operate in, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters.

    The warehouse which Micah and the thieves were supposed to meet Vincent Vincenzo stood in silent neglect.The creaking doors, reluctantly swaying in the breeze, echoed with a ghostly memory of bustling activity. "This place looks empty." Micah commented."Don't worry, they'll be here soon." Alan said."Waiting for me?" A voice from asked said.The four of them turned, it was Vincent Vincenzo.He emerged, clad in a tailored charcoal suit that seemed to absorb the ambient light.

As he stepped forward, the faintest smirk played on his lips, casting an ominous shadow over the encounter.Vincent Vincenzo's demeanor shifted imperceptibly as his eyes fell upon Micah. The steely resolve in his expression gave way to a flicker of recognition, quickly replaced by a thinly veiled disdain. "What is he doing here?" Vincent asked angrily."What is who doing here?"

    "Vincent Vincenzo?" Junior yelled.They were sitting inside Junior's car in the parking lot at D'premium branch.Micah had arrived at work earlier than normal and he had called Elise and Junior to fill them in as usual."I can't believe it! Elise exclaimed."It all makes sense now." Junior mused. His eyes widened, pupils dilating as the pieces of the puzzle finally clicked into place. His brows furrowed, and a slow, subtle grin tugged at the corners of his lips. It was the expression of revelation, a mix of surprise and understanding, etched across his face like the first light of dawn breaking through the darkness."You know what? Things just got better." Junior said after a while."Everything ends today." Elise said."Everything ends today." Junior repeated in a lower tone."Here," Elise said, handing over the bag which contained the remaining two wristwatches to Micah. "Take it to them and let them lead you to Vincent, text us the address immediately you can, okay?""Okay." Micah r

    Alan froze, his hand still clutching a stolen item. Sam stumbled backward, knocking over a stack of boxes. Winner, caught in the act of stuffing his bag, looked like a deer caught in headlights.Time hung suspended as Micah's gaze bore into each of them. Alan's palms grew clammy, Winner stammered incoherently, and Sam's face paled. The air was thick with tension as guilt painted their expressions, a tableau of wrongdoing.Micah's voice sliced through the silence, demanding an explanation. The three of them exchanged furtive glances, unable to conjure a convincing response. The room felt smaller, the weight of their misdeeds pressing down on them.In that stolen moment of confrontation, fear etched lines on Alan, Winner, and Sam's faces, weaving an unforeseen twist into the story of their ill-fated heist."Why are you doing this, guys?" Micah asked.Panicking, Alan stammered, "Micah, it's not what it looks like! I was just rearranging the inventory for better organization. You see, I n

    "Micah, that suggestion of yours in the meeting was brilliant," Alan commended when they got to where Micah, Kelly and Sam were standing.Sam concurred by nodding appreciatively and Winner chimed in with praises for Micah.Alan then said, "Well, I must say, our suggestions were good too. Mr Black just needs to think outside of the box to see it," a hint of mischief in his eyes.Ben was able to stiffle his laugh when he heard that statement, Kelly on the other hand couldn't help the smirk that formed on her face. Curiosity flickered in Alan's gaze as he turned to Kelly. "Got something to add?" he inquired. Kelly, however, simply brushed off the question, choosing to ignore him.Sensing a hint of tension, Ben interjected with a diplomatic suggestion. "How about we all put our creative minds together over lunch? We can continue brainstorming in a more relaxed setting.""Great idea." Kelly said walking away with the others behind her.…When they entered the cafeteria, Kelly opted for a

    It was almost lunch time, suddenly, the intercom crackled to life, its echo filling the bustling office."Attention, team members," a steady voice announced. "Please gather in the conference room for an important meeting. Your presence is requested promptly. Thank you." The hum of activity ceased as employees exchanged curious glances, abandoning their desks to follow the unspoken call.Micah, Kelly, and Ben huddled near the door, exchanging puzzled glances as the announcement echoed through the office, summoning all workers to the conference room. The hum of speculation buzzed in the air.Micah, with a raised eyebrow, asked, "Any idea what this meeting could be about?"Kelly, tapping her pen against her notebook, shrugged. "Could be anything. Maybe they're finally addressing the mystery of the disappearing office supplies."Micah kept mute, feigning innocence and for the second time in less than 30 minutes, he raised an eyebrow at Kelly's casual remark.Micah, maintaining his compose

    It was way past closing hours and Micah was yet to see anything or be approached by anyone. He would have called it a day but he wasn't tired yet, also, he intended to fulfill his promise to Sam.To help him stay fully awake, he decided to get coffee. Thankfully, the building was empty, so he wasn't afraid of having a repeat of the incident which had happened the previous day.When he was getting closer to the storage room, Micah heard voices, he paused. The voices paused too.Micah simply shrugged and continued on his way, but then, he heard the voices again and decided to turn back.On tiptoes, Micah made his way to the door of the storage room. His hand trembled as it grasped the cold metal handle of the storage room door. The hinges creaked in protest as he slowly swung it open, revealing a scene that stole his breath. His eyes widened, pupils dilating in disbelief, as the stark fluorescent light spilled into the room, casting an eerie glow. A gasp escaped his lips, and for a mom

    Micah strolled into the company. He was just about to enter his work area when he was stopped by Mr Black."Good morning Sir." Micah said. However, he got no response."I completed Janet's task yesterday. You can go and confirm if you'd like. Also, I know the incident yesterday must have painted me in a bad light, but I want to assure you, that is not who I am. It was an accident, I am not clumsy and what happened yesterday will never repeat itself again."Mr Black just kept on staring at him, so he asked "Can I go now?" He didn't feel comfortable under the manager's intense scrutinizing gaze."Micah, what are you really doing here?" Mr Black finally asked."I beg your pardon?" Micah replied."I said, what are you really doing here?" The manager asked again.Micah's palms grew clammy as his manager's piercing gaze bore into him. The air seemed to thicken as he fumbled for words, anxiety tightening his throat. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, betraying the composed facade he had

    "I have and in the most unfortunate circumstances." Micah replied.Letting out a chuckle, Kelly said, "I doubt there's anyone in this company who met Janet in fortunate circumstances. However, I'd like to hear your own unfortunate encounter, tell me all about it."Micah proceeded to tell her what had truly happened and when he was done, Kelly scoffed."There was really no point trying to explain your side of the story to Mr Black." She said."Why? What do you mean?" Micah asked curiously."For one thing, it's a known secret that Janet and Mr Black are in a relationship." Kelly answered.Micah's eyes shot up as realization dawned on him. "No wonder." He mused."Mr Black will always take Janet's side. So I'll advise you to try and avoid further encounters with her. Also, it's best if you head to her table first. In Fact, go right now and should also go along with two cups of coffee, you're going to need them." Kelly advised."And why's that?" Micah asked."Knowing Janet, I can confident

    Micah was tired. He never knew packaging wristwatches could be that stressful.Micah's eyes, which had been vibrant and full of life just that morning, now held the heavy burden of exhaustion.

Shoulders slouched, as if carrying the weight of the world, Micah moved with a sluggish rhythm, each step echoing the struggle against the invisible forces pulling him down.He was thirsty and decided to get water.
