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

Junior asked"I was expecting D'Miller brand to come under a little attack as well, I had no idea we would be this praised" Elise replied"That shouldn't surprise you. D'Miller brand has never compromised. We were obviously not a part of Henry's wicked scheme
Jack was unusually quiet Elise and Jack sat in the back of the car while Donald drove to the hotel Henry had instructed Jack to meet with him"Hey. Are you okay? You've been awfully quiet" Elise noted"Yea, I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind" Jack replied"Do you want to talk about it?" Elise asked. Jack hesitated"It's okay if you don't" Elise said"I'm really nervous about meeting Mr Harkin. He used to intimidate me so much" Jack said truthfully"I understand why you feel that way, but I think you'll be okay. It's been a while since you've seen him, right?" Elise asked"Yeah, it has been a while, but I still remember how he used to make me feel. He was always so aggressive and dismissive" Junior said"I can relate, he was the same way with my family before we finally escaped from his grip. I get that, but try to remember that you're not the same person you were back then. You've grown and changed, and you don't have to feel intimidated anymore" Elise said encouragingly"I kno
