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
"Not again!" Elise said out loud. Her phone rang for the tenth time that morning and she was already fed upIt was weekend and she decided to help her parents out at the bakery, everything had been going well until a particular number kept calling repeatedlyElise decided not to pick after the person had called the first two times, she assumed the person would get the memo that she was busy and would return the calls later but the person didn'tElise held her phone and watched it ring, she was contemplating if she should pick up the call when the customer in front of her spoke up"Excuse me, can I pay for my purchase?" The customer saidElise quickly looked up from her phone"Oh, yes, sorry about that. How can I help you?" Elise asked"I'd like to pay for my items, please" the customer answered"Of course, I apologize for the delay. Let me ring up your items" Elise respondedThe customer handed Elise her goods and after costing it, Elise handed it back to her"That comes out to $50
"Xavier!? What do you want?" Elise asked. He was the last person she expected a call from"Hi, it's me. Can we talk?" Xavier asked"I don't really want to talk to you right now" Elise responded"Please, just hear me out. I know things didn't end well between us, and the last time we saw, it wasn't under the best of circumstances but I need to talk to you" Xavier said"I don't think there's anything left to say" Elise replied"I understand that, but I just want to apologize for everything that happened. I messed up and I'm sorry" Xavier responded"I appreciate the apology, but it doesn't change anything" Elise said "I know, but I want to make things right between us. Can we at least talk about it?" Xavier asked"I don't think it's a good idea. I don't think you should even be talking to me right now considering the way things are between your family and the company I work" Elise said"I understand that, but I just need to know that we're okay" Xavier answered"Yes we are, if that's
"You did what?" Junior screamed. He couldn't believe what Elise was telling him"I agreed to be friends with Xavier" Elise saidJunior was confused about the whole thing"Elise, can you please go over what you told me again? It seems I missed something" Junior requestedElise repeated how Xavier had called her repeatedly on Saturday and how they had met up on Sunday, she told Junior what Xavier had said and her response"You agreed to hang out with him again because you feel he would play the same game his dad did" Junior stated"Exactly" Elise replied"Elise, I highly doubt that's what Xavier is up to. He knows he would fail miserably if he tried, I'm sure he's up to something else" Junior said"Well, we will never know what his plans are until I go out with him" Elise said"Are you sure there's no other way?" Junior asked"No. You don't have to worry about me, I can handle Xavier" Elise answeredJunior was worried and it was obvious from his appearance. His brow was furrowed, ind
