2024-11-13 16:20:24“Miss Sheraton Morgan, meet the young man who refused to bow to death. The one I told you I found lifeless at the edge of a lake after being viciously submerged a week ago.”
“Michael, meet the Production manager of Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. The City's Goddess of Beauty,” he did the honors in the introduction as he arose with his face enthralled in smiles. The two faces stood still for over ten seconds with their eyes glued on each other in slow motion with words stuck in their throats. “Great Lord! He's the one!” Miss Sharon echoed in a gasp of shock; thick goosebumps shivered her shoulders. Lord Eric hastily cleared his throat and blinked a few times in silence. He was yet to make sense of what she meant by him ‘being the one.’ He was already struck in another unexpected puzzlement just like he hooked in confusion when the old herbal healer proclaimed Michael as ‘The one’ “I’m completely in the dark, have you two met beforehand?” he eagerly inquired with his eyes flickered with urgency. “Yes! He is the bold soul who saved me from the premeditated assassination a week ago. Remember the terrifying incident that nearly claimed my life on my way home from work?” She finally divulged with a hitch of breath as she couldn't believe she had crossed paths with her odd Samaritan once again. Michael narrowed his eyeballs, still in a dumbstruck state, accompanied by a somewhat sharp inhalation and exhalation. He could vividly remember the gorgeous damsel he risked his life for to halt the assassination plan. Lord Eric gasped in profound disbelief at how the unfolding situation was interwoven. The young man he earnestly prayed to survive the lake submerged incident was the same unknown bold soul who saved his company's human resource manager from being murdered. What more would unfold? Miss Sheraton Morgan charmingly moved her feet as the beauty personified that she was, with her alluring eyes fixated on the Young Lord while she calmly offered a warming embrace, which he reciprocated. “Thank you for saving my life, Michael Scofield. At least now I know your name,” she delightfully expressed as both shared a beaming gesture. “Great Lord, you haven't yet told me what business led your path to the Lake where I was condemned to death?” he politely gutted out, a question stuck in his lungs since Lord Eric opted to change his life. In response, he nodded his head and patted The Young Lord's shoulder, he wasn't entirely surprised by the question. He knew he'd someday open up about what really brought him to the cemetery that fateful day he found Michael Scofield. “I’ll tell you all you need to know on what business I had to execute on that fateful night but when the time is ripe. However, I need your help.” He clenched his forehead in confusion. “My help?... Huh?” his words somewhat stuttered as he wondered what he could possibly do for the wealthiest man in the Northern Hemisphere. “I invited Miss Sheraton because I want her to teach you all you need to know about Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise.” “A week ago, my business rivals tried to exterminate her after she refused the mouthwatering scheme to leak the secret behind Eric Cottage Winery's unique taste, but she blatantly refused, which led to her assassination plan, which would have affected the company’s engine room, if they had succeeded. Thanks to you Michael.” She intermittently stared at him and nodded in affirmation of what Lord Eric had just spilled. “Michael Scofield, I wouldn't have asked for your help if it wasn't necessary. I need you to become my eyes and ears. After the confession extracted from the apprehended assassins. We believe there are strategically positioned moles that have already infiltrated the company intending to divulge sensitive information to our rivals.” “I overheard the old healer in words about your sharp-witted mind that you employed in exposing the bad eggs at your former workplace. We need the same wittiness to help save Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise before our rivals succeed in flushing us from the business market.” He continued after a few moments of internalization. “While tracking discreetly in divulging the moles, you'd also learn about the winery business. A win-win.” “They won't know you're the inner source and link. In my abode, you're the Young Lord with access to whatever you need at your disposal, but outside, you’re undercover personnel and would pose as a freelance writer in my Winery company. That way, no one would easily suspect the counter plan in place.” Michael gradually swallowed in and beheld every ounce of seriousness etched on his face. He didn't need a soothsayer to enlighten him on how serious the situation had become. Miss Sheraton maintained a charming stare at him with her legs crossed with her voluptuous curves while she intermittently nodded her head in alignment with her boss's words thus far. “I accept the mission and would fish out the moles. After what you did for me. I wish nothing more but for the winery company to expand as the first to reckon with in over three continents,” his words enthralled Lord Eric and Sheraton, who admired how profoundly visionary the young, bold soul was. “...But before I embark on the undercover initiative. I have some people whom I must pay scornful visits to.” “...I have an unsettled business, it's long overdue…”

Don't mention this beautiful meeting to your accomplices,” he chipped in, his words oozed dangerously. “In two weeks, we'll reconvene this conversation.” “However, on second thought?...” “What could have prompted y'all to call the shots for my extermination?

***** “Yeah come in.” A yellowish metal office door creaked open, which unveiled a good-looking young man dressed in a classic white shirt with plain black trousers. “You single-handedly fished out those bad eggs from Charleston Park Shopping Mall. I do not doubt your capacity and how you'd succeed in saving my winery company,” those words hit his consciousness as he darted his eyes at the fresh breath office. Earliest hours of the morning, Lord Eric had vehemently resounded those words to mentally prepare him for the task ahead. Michael didn't entirely know why Eric had unwavering trust in him but he had vowed to himself to fish out the moles before a premeditated assassination plot that nearly took Sheraton’s life get repeated. His appearance was nothing exceptional or flashy, just neat, well-ironed outfits that exuded simplicity and coordination.

“Does she know me from Adam? Her words oozed with recollection,” Michael, in the shortest period of reflection, mused with his eyes temporarily downwards. He absent-mindedly tiptoed his tongue across his premolars with prevailing questions etched in his heart. He pondered if Stephanie possibly knew his connection with Lord Eric beforehand. [Could the undercover mission have become not so confined as they thought?] Stephanie's mouth widened, her eyes bulging out in awe. She took three steps further, which got him wondering what the gorgeous young lady was up to. “Do you recall now? The lady in blue? Worrisome teary face? Screaming out loud on the coldest night?” “It all transpired one year, two months ago? Do you recall now?” He narrowed his eyes a little more as a slight resemblance struck his blood flow. After a few moments of introspective state, he stretched his right finger, followed by a building giggle, about to spill out some engaging words. “Wait! You’re…” h

“I… I'm confused as well!”“The winery building hardly attracts such noises,” Stephanie sharply responded with undefined words still stuck in her head.A ding sound was perceived in the hallway; it was the elevator; one of the junior staff from the basement floor had just walked out, his face aggravated as though something had altered his mood, which Michael and Stephanie could clearly perceive.“It’s Raymond and Cleopatra again!”“They badly spoke to a client and hell has broken loose!” The staff informed them with a thick frown before dragging his feet to the east wing of the second floor.Michael was somewhat confused at the names the staff had just mentioned but he suspected the raised voices emanated from the basement floor.“Those silly receptionists! Arghhh!” Stephanie groaned and sneered in displeasure.“I don't understand how two adults would be such a pain in the arse. This isn't the first time they're orchestrating such a fuss!” her words oozed with disgust, which abruptly

Michael Scofield literally felt his throat tingling as he leaned further and wiggled his brows at Lord Eric to spill out the premeditated name already.His face was somewhat concocted with a frown, and he would preferred the caller to dial the Great Lord's cell line after their intense conversation was over.The call had rung for about five seconds— Lord Eric chimed a beam at him with a hint he was about to indulge the caller.Michael knew how personal the Great Lord took phone calls, especially when someone he knew needed to communicate with him.“We will continue shortly. I need to indulge Mr. Snow Ambrose…”He managed to spill out and winked at Michael before engaging with the aforementioned caller.Lord Eric knew his boy would have expected him to temporarily ignore the first ring call but had to pick up because he didn't know what could have caused Snow to dial his line.Michael leaned back to the couch and slightly sighed in thought while waiting for the Great Lord to be done.“

Apparently, he was calm in speech, and I didn't even want him to stress himself to make explicit explanations.Clearly, that was weird of the Great Lord which got the Young Lord somewhat perplexed.“I have known you enough to know how diligent you are in whatever you believe in. If it was something that I needed to know you'd have told me already in the last few days.”“I believe a lot is happening in your life, and you're transitioning to a better version of yourself. Don't worry about telling me what you believe I shouldn't know yet till the time is ripe.”“Whenever you're ready to spill the juice. I'll be all ears but for now.

Thank you for understanding.”Lord Eric nodded thoughtfully and firmly while patting his shoulder— a tinge of emotions etched on both faces while they giggled and teased each ot

Lord Eric Sanchez hid behind a wall in the living room while he muffled a few seconds of laughter after his boy teased him from a distance.Michael Scofield wore a charming smile while the domestic staff helped with the entrance door as they should.Others, without being told, carried two of the bags he was gifted in the old healer's abode with some of his clothing.His instincts expressed that Lord Eric should have perceived his voice earlier and kept mute or possibly hiding.Apparently, that was how much both men had bonded in the past few months after their paths crossed.He stepped into the living room with high hopes to see Lord Eric— he darted his eyes across different corners of the house but was still standing at a point.He returned his eyes to some of the household staff members a few miles away who were still shining their teeth in excitement.They observed how he was suddenly gazing at them and slightly lowered their faces while indulging in muffled smiles.It dawned on hi

They had been staring at him in silence and knew he was battling with several inward thoughts that he hadn't shared with them in the past six days after his return from office on the day of Lilian's arrest.Ethan had discussed it with his grandfather, who insisted the Shepherd should be given a level of privacy to sort out his heart thoughts with his personal struggles, which was common with every gifted heir.The old healer believed nothing was strange about Michael drifting in thought and, a couple of times, musing to himself— he was a human and would have in-depth questions to mumble upon.“Our Shepherd. The training never ends as each day comes with new things to learn about humans and the act of healing them.”“Remember to conduct your daily meditation exercise at the earliest dawn and before you retire for the day.

Stephanie had few words yet unspilled and had to bounce back to words before the suspicion abounded.Lilian stared through her and could smell the uncertainty entrapped on her assistant's curious facial expression.“Sir. I actually met him a couple of times during my internship period. However, when I officially got employed, he was already apprehended and sacked.”Michael nodded thoughtfully and arose while holding Jake's phone on his right finger.He was exhausted with the back and forth and needed to find a way to get to the peak of the investigation.“Haha!”“Did you know your boss has been involved in several shady businesses?” He fixated his eyes on Stephanie with his face completely enmeshed with ease.DING!Lilian dreaded in growing fear, it was beginning to make sense why Michael Scofield called her in for a meeting alongside her assistant.Stephanie bulged her eyes out and uncontrollably stared at Lilian and Michael with her mouth agape.She never knew the meeting was about
Chapter 86: “But What?”
Immediately Michael Scofield’s words crept out of his mouth— John and Jake tightened up their loose countenance and maintained a calmer demeanor.They didn't need a soothsayer to tell them how complicated it would be to trap Lilian if she profoundly sensed something awkward with them.During the first five seconds of her entrance, Michael waited to know if she'd fall, victim, as John and Jake did in mouthing too much than expected.Apparently, she seemed different and only proceeded to greet the COO while waiting for him to pop the expected question about salary and incentive increments.Michael's question rang a different tone in her head, and slowly, she exchanged eye contact with her assistant, who still hadn't fathomed the motive behind the meeting.Lilian was trying to make sense of the twisted reality before her and find answers to questions she was entertaining inwardly:‘My possible closeness with the ex-COO? The former elevated staff member who was sacked over a year ago? I t

She didn't know exactly how to feel or whether she had been overthinking things lately about Michael and Stephanie or if it was normal for him to be whirled up with several thoughts.She had done everything possible to always enthrall Michael's attention, but one way or the other, the Adonis of Manchester seemed to redirect his attention to other things, and that has been discouraging.Michael had been the first man to treat Sheraton professionally for a longer time and that was entirely shocking to her.All men who had found a path with her always desired to date her, but with Michael, nothing was actually guaranteed, and that had been a puzzle that she hadn't been able to solve.She presumed Michael should have already perceived how she felt about him due to how sensitive he was but deliberately didn't want to delve on that path with her.“We must hurry. We can't keep the COO waiting for so long.”Lilian, whose countenance had been basking with a smile, informed her assistant of the
Chapter 84: Sheraton's Dilemma!!!
Immediately, Sheraton strategically ended the call with a smirk etching in her heart; the office temporarily slammed into a thoughtful state, with each person having a distinguished idea to ponder on.Despite how clinical and spontaneous Jake was on the phone— Sheraton somewhat had doubts if Lilian would profoundly buy the pretentious idea of the meeting taking longer time than it should.On the contrary, Michael Scofield's thought patterns weren't related to whether Lilian would suspect anything dicey or not.He was most interested in Stephanie and how compromised or naive she could be about the shady endeavors of her direct boss.Not quite far from Sheraton's perspective— Jake wasn't completely confident about his level of spontaneity in conceiving Lilian about the so-called thirty drafted smaller companies.He presumed he should have done better while on the hot spot and gave an enticing excuse than the one he mouthed.Knowing how sensitive and coordinated Lilian was— she could per
