After a dramatic pause, Junior continued, "The reason I called this meeting today is to talk about my relationship with my representative and girlfriend, Elise Chapman."

As Junior's words hung in the air, the employees' hearts raced. They exchanged glances with their colleagues.

Thoughts raced through their minds. Could this be real? Is he serious about Elise? How did none of us know about this? A wave of curiosity and concern washed over them as they tried to piece together the implications of this revelation.

The employees grappled with conflicting feelings, torn between their professional responsibilities and the sudden personal connection between Junior and Elise. How would this dynamic change the team's dynamics? Can Elise remain unbiased in her role as a representative?

    Junior and Elise took a trip to the Miller family beach house. It was Thursday and they decided to start their weekend early.Nestled upon a gentle rise of golden sand, the Miller family beach house stood as a sanctuary of relaxation and joy. A charming two-story structure with weathered shingles, it boasted a whitewashed exterior that glistened in the sunlight. The house was surrounded by a flourishing garden, where vibrant flowers danced in the coastal breeze. Tall sea grasses swayed gracefully at the edges of the property, creating a natural boundary between the Miller's haven and the sprawling beach beyond. A small trail from the front of the house to the beach made it easy to take relaxing walks by the water. Thick mounds of sand with sea oats and wildflowers kept the house separated from the beach, keeping the shoreline looking beautiful.The rhythm of the waves provided a soothing soundtrack to the days, lulling one into a state of tranquility as they basked in the sun or gat

    Junior raised his head and followed Elise's gaze to the gate of the beach house. A swarm of reporters had gathered, each one armed with cameras and microphones, jostling for position to capture the unfolding scene. They were like a pack of hungry wolves waiting for their prey.Elise turned to Junior, her expression a mix of frustration and exasperation. "Can you believe this? We can't even get a moment of peace here!"Junior sighed and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "I see them. We'll have to deal with it somehow."Elise urged Junior to just drive in and ignore the reporters, but he shook his head. "If I do that, they might press themselves into the car, and someone could get hurt."A determined look crossed Junior's face as he made up his mind. "I'll grant them an interview. That might satisfy their curiosity and get them to back off."As they approached the gate, Junior rolled down the window, and a cacophony of questions and camera clicks greeted them. He plastered on a

    "What exactly are you talking about?" Junior inquired."Well, it appears that no member of the family has been seen publicly after the incident. It's almost as if they've vanished into thin air." The reporter answered."To be honest, I don't care. They can choose to appear or not, my business with them is over. And ladies and gentlemen, I've had a really long day. Have a great evening." Junior said signaling that the interview was over. As the reporters began to disperse, Junior finally turned to Elise with a grin. "See? Not so bad, right?"Elise rolled her eyes but couldn't help but chuckle. "I guess you're not as green as I thought when it comes to handling the press."Junior shrugged. "Sometimes you just have to roll with it."With a last glance at the retreating reporters, Junior pulled through the gate and parked the car. The beach house's tranquility was finally restored, and they could once again enjoy their private getaway.Elise and Junior walked into the house.The rich arom

    "Something isn't right." Emily repeated for the second time."The party had gone too smoothly." Mansion replied."The sleek black car glided down the dimly lit city streets, the soft hum of the engine forming a backdrop to the quiet tension within. Mansion sat in the plush leather seat, his fingers tapping restlessly against his thigh. Beside him, Emily stared out the window, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion. Junior leaned back in his seat, seemingly lost in thought.The three had just left Vincent Vincenzo's extravagant party. As the server maneuvered through the winding roads, the silence inside the car was palpable, a stark contrast to the raucous affair they had left behind."Well, that was... unexpected," Mansion ventured, his tone laced with a hint of skepticism. Emily turned her gaze towards him, her eyes narrowing slightly."You expected something to happen, didn't you?" Emily's voice trembled with a mixture of apprehension and accusation. Mansion shifted uncomfortably in

    "But how do we connect it to him?" Emily asked."I don't know yet, but I'm sure we'll figure it out." Junior answered."What about the press?" Elise inquired."The press?" Junior asked."Yes," she began tentatively, "how do you plan to deal with the press?"Junior looked up, his gaze meeting Elise's concerned eyes. Taking a deep breath, he leaned forward and clasped his hands together. "Elise, I've been careful about who knows the truth. As of now, only my mother, the attending doctors, the police and I are aware that my father has been shot.""You've notified the police?" Elise asked."Yes, I did that not long after we got here." Junior answered.Elise nodded, still anxious. "But what if someone from the hospital talks? These situations have a way of leaking, Junior."Junior's voice grew more confident. "I've spoken with the doctors and the hospital staff. They're bound by strict confidentiality. They won't disclose anything to anybody, especially not to the press."Suddenly, a sharp

    Inside Junior's office, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. The large mahogany desk was cluttered with financial reports. Elise sat across from Junior, her expression a mix of concern and disbelief.Junior leaned forward, studying the financial statements from D'Premium branch. "Elise," he began, his voice low and contemplative, "this is a disaster waiting to happen. How did things get this bad?"Elise sighed deeply, her eyes fixed on the damning figures on the papers in front of her. "I wish I knew, Junior," she replied, frustration evident in her voice. "The theft at D'Premium has been going on for months, possibly even longer. It's as if someone had a free pass to our vault."Junior's brow furrowed as he traced his finger along a graph showing a steep decline in profits. "But how could it go unnoticed for so long? We have audits, security measures, and a dedicated team for this."Elise nodded, her fingers tapping nervously on the table. "I've been reviewing the audit reports, an

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!

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
