"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. This is my first time auditing for D'Miller brand but I can confidently say it was one of my best year ever As I conclude this audit, I am thrilled to announce that the financial results are nothing short of sensational! The company has not only achieved but surpassed its financial targets, delivering an outstanding performance that can only be described as truly remarkableThe profits made by this company are simply astonishing. They are a true reflection of the unwavering commitment to success that each and every one of you has demonstrated. Your tireless efforts have delivered results that have exceeded 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
Jack was right That was what was running through Elise's mind as she sat in her office waiting for Henry HarkinHe had called earlier and requested to meet with her. He said he had a thriving business deal which he would like to discuss Elise didn't want to go Into partnership with Henry, but Junior asked her toJack had assured them that Henry would try to jeopardize the deal and Junior believes himA knock on the door bright her out from her thoughts"You can enter" Elise saidHenry Harkin walked into the office, a smile on his face. Elise wasn't fooled by the smile, she knew very well Henry was nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing"Good day Elise. How're you doing?" Henry asked after he had taken a seat"I'm good. And you?" Elise responded"As you can see, I'm fine. How're you parents and their business?" Henry asked. If Elise didn't know better, she would think he actually cared"They're okay, the business is doing great. So, let's get straight to business. How can D'Miller
Elise was furious But at the same time, she was glad. She never wanted to sign that deal with Henry HarkinEven though she knew whatever he said would not have any major impact on D'Miller brand, Elise hated the fact that his actions could make the public doubt the integrity of D'Miller brandThis was the perfect time for Henry Harkin to be brought down, the world needed to see him for who he truly isHis wife's downfall had been grand, his would be even grander. Elise was feeling pumped. She had called earlier to notify the TV station that she would be joining them, but she made it clear Henry wasn't to be told"We're here ma'am" Donald announcedElise was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't realize they had arrived at the TV station, however, she couldn't bring herself to step out of the car when Donald opened and held the door for herElise was feeling a combination of anxiety, fear, and nervousness about the interviewShe was scared and it was clear to see. She began sweati
No one paid attention to Henry Harkin "I just said that I want this live session to be stopped" Henry yelled againHe was agitated and needed to get out of there, this interview had gone way too far, this was not his plan"Mr Harkin you can leave if you wish, but before you do, I'll like you to have a rethinkI think it's in your best interest to stay and defend your image. You can start by telling us why you leaked the news about the deal" the interviewer saidHenry thought about it for a moment and decided to do damage control"I was just too excited. I couldn't believe such a brand agreed to work with me. I know I should have waited, but I felt proud of myself and wanted the world to join me in my joy" Henry lied"Fair enough. But what about the errors that people have been complaining about. People are saying there's something wrong with the shares you sell and Miss Chapman earlier said that you should be held responsible for it, what do you have to say about that?" The intervi
