Elise listened quietly as Junior spoke, he was explaining his father's plan for Henry Harkin to her, after he was done, she spoke up"Well, I hope this plan doesn't backfire. Henry will definitely be more cautious after what happened with his wife" Elise said"We'll also be extra cautious, we have our eyes on him, there's nothing he can do to catch us off guard" Junior said"Alright, I trust you and your dad. I'll do my part as well, even though I can't stand that man" Elise said"This will all be over soon" Junior said and hung upElise took in a deep breath, she would need to polish her acting skills. Henry Harkin was going to fall into a pit which he himself would dig…Few months later "It's finally done! We finally have our own bakery" Joanne Chapman said excitedlyThe Chapman's, together with Mansion and Emily Miller were standing inside the new and fully equipped "Chapman Bakery""We just wanted to say thank you so much for opening this bakery for us.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" Mansion Miller asked as he walked to the center of the room"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to this special event. It's an honor to have you all here today, and we appreciate the time you have taken out of your busy schedules to attendWe have gathered here tonight to celebrate a family that's dear to my family. I am confident that this will be an unforgettable evening filled with joy, laughter, and great memoriesAt this point, I would like to announce that this establishment is not a property of D'Miller brand, it belongs to Charles and Joanne Chapman" Mansion saidIt was clear from the looks on the people's faces that they weren't familiar with the Chapman's, a few people even began murmuring"With that being said, I'll like to invite the daughter of the celebrants, Elise Chapman, most of you know her, she's the representative of my son. She'll be the one to unveil what th
"Jennifer!" Henry screamed his wife's name and rushed overJennifer was brought back to her senses when she heard her name, she quickly dropped her hand"What exactly were you about to do?!" Joanne asked "Nothing. Enjoy the rest of your evening" Jennifer said and walked awayHenry tried holding her back and asking what had happened, but she pushed him awayHe, however, was really glad she realized herself before it was too late. He already had plans, he didn't want an altercation to ruin it"Joanne, Charles. I apologize on my wife's behalf. I'm really sorry for whatever she said and her actions" Henry said"Your wife said things that were out of line and frankly, we get her, but she really needs to learn to control herself, she should accept things as they are and move on with her life" Joanne said"I know. It's just a lot to take home, I'm sure she'll adjust with time" Henry explained"It's okay, we appreciate you coming over to explain. We understand that sometimes things happen an
"Who is it?" Xavier asked"My boss" Elise responded"Mansion Miller Junior?" Xavier asked again"Exactly" Elise repliedXavier knew the Miller's were wealthy, but after seeing this car, he was more than convinced that they were the wealthiest people in the cityThe car pulled up and parked six feet away from where they were standingElise started walking towards the car, but then she turned and realized Xavier had not moved"Don't you want to ask him anymore? I'll help you" Elise saidXavier couldn't believe his ears, Elise was saying she could help him, he scoffed. There was a time he would have called her mad for making such a statement, however, he decided to take the opportunity to talk to Mansion Junior, he was really curious, hopefully, he'll be able to discover who he really is"Hello Mr Miller" Xavier said when they got really close to the carJunior winds the windows down and responds to Xavier's greeting. He was expecting Xavier to say something else, but Xavier just kept qu
The financial year came to an end quickly Henry Harkin, together with Elise, the board of directors and members of the finance department sat together in the company's conference roomHenry Harkin had just concluded his audit and was set to announce if the company had suffered a loss or had made profitHenry walked to the front of the room to address everyone"Good day all.

The new financial year started a week ago Junior sat in his spacious and well furnished office which exudes a sense of authority and professionalismHowever, sitting in front of his large desk and staring into his computer in front of him, Junior did not look professional at allHis hair was disheveled due to the countless number of times he had run his fingers through it. His tie was loose and he had unbuttoned the first two buttons on his shirtHis posture was haunched. Overall, Junior was feeling exhausted and appeared worn out, depleted, and in need of rest and recuperationHe quickly picked up the office phone and called his secretary, Zina"Good morning, sir. How can I assist you today?" Zina asked immediately she entered his office"Good morning Zina. I was just wondering if we have any upcoming appointments or meetings for the day" Junior asked"Let me check, sir" Zina said and consulted the file with her"Yes, we have a meeting with the marketing team at 10am, and a confer
"I'll put that phone down if I were you" Junior said to Jack"Why? Are you scared?" Jack asked tauntingly"Scared of what exactly?" Junior asked"I don't know. Maybe you're scared of Mr Harkin finding out your identity. I wonder why that is" Jack replied"Sorry sir, but can you please tell me what's going on here? I'm a little lost" the security saidJunior proceeded to tell him how he had caught Jack sneaking out of the finance department"Are you mad? You were the one caught sneaking out of a place you weren't supposed to be and you're expecting Mr Miller to be the one who's scared" the guard shouted at Jack"I know that was a rhetorical question, but no, I am not mad. But what do you think? A wealthy man is afraid of his identity being made public, is it because he has certain agencies after him or could it be he has wronged some very influential people and now, he's hiding because he doesn't want to face the consequences of whatever he has done?" Jack askedWithout realizing it, J
Elise felt really uncertain Junior and Elise sat together in his office discussing. Earlier, he had Informed her about what happened with Jack and she felt skepticalThey both decided to wait and see if Jack would keep to his end of the bargain and not disappear with the money he had been givenWhile waiting, Junior requested for project update on one of their important projects which Elise was in charge of"By the way, can you please update me on the status of the ongoing X project?" Junior requested"Sure. I'd be happy to. It's one of my favorite projects so far. We're currently on track to meet our deadline, and we've completed approximately 75% of the project tasks" Elise explained"That's great news! Are there any areas of concern or potential obstacles that we need to address?" Junior asked"Yes, we have encountered a few issues that may cause delays in the project. We are currently working on resolving these issues and are confident that we will be able to overcome them" Eli
