Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 16: “I’m Michael Scofield”
***** “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. He bestowed on his face a mild smile which sparked an approachable demeanor at the slightest glance. “Good morning,” his v
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 17: “Stephanie's Epistle!”
“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
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 18: “The Adonis Of Manchester”
“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 Has Returned! Chapter 19: Eric Cottage's Abnormality
The sound of the voice from every ounce of texture was feminine inclined, which was mouthed from the one and only— the Goddess of Beauty— Miss Sheraton Morgan, who had been silent for over five minutes.Earlier, all attention was rapidly drawn towards the commotion that none of the staff knew she had arrived for duty.Eyes were instantly glued at her as none of the female staff could match toe to toe—aura for aura with her unrivaled beauty.“The Beauty personified has arrived,” some of the staff muffled while they audibly greeted the Production Manager.She elegantly cat-walked towards the three clients with a beautifully mystified smile charmed on her face which induced almost all personnel to stare at her with mouth agape.The two once-aggravated male clients muffled a beam while desperately drooling at her irresistible magical aura.“Please, how may we serve you better? What are the complaints? So we could see them solved,” she emphasized standing beside Michael who maintained a st
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 20: “Lemonade Out Of Lemons”
Michael and Sheraton stood in shock silence for over five seconds; they understood the implication of the complaints and how it could drag Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise to the mud if it got to the ears of the media. “We believe it was a production abnormality but such mistakes should be tackled without hesitation.” “Other clients could have used that as an opportunity to blackmail Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise but we wouldn't do that.” “We have a solid nurtured friendship in business which has grown over the years,” the female client had a somewhat serious demeanor while delivering her speech. Sheraton was still in disbelief at how some of the wine bottles were half-filled. Without debates, she knew it transpired right under her nose and she never took cognizance of it. “We are so sorry for the inconvenience thus far. We promise to put our house to ensure such never happens.” “We would give your organization a mega discount on your next purchase. You know our mega disco
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 21: “Who Really Is Oprah Gracy?”
The HR kept a mean demeanor after unleashing her punishment, her eyes darting at the murmuring junior staff in search of a scapegoat to feel her wrath. Cleopatra and Raymond blurted out a sarcastic sigh, which she pretended not to grasp; the three personnel exchanged a couple of undefined eye contacts. The HR switched her gaze towards the elevator after the two labeled receptionists groggily exited the building, her ears to the ground, just in case an offensive remark was uttered regarding her decision. “They deserved to be sacked but she turned a blind eye to their excesses. They went further to sneer but she ignored all of that.” “Just last week Kevin was almost sacked because of lateness to work. Shouldn't those two be sacked for how rudely they responded?” the junior staff inaudibly lamented with their heart thumped in displeasure. Michael, behind the stairs, clearly overheard the protests of the aggravated staff, the silly attitudes of the receptionists, and HR’s partial
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 22: The Abrupt Appointment
Michael gently, with unwavering enthusiasm, found his path beside Sheraton's standpoint with a mild outlook. He definitely wasn't expecting every production staff to wholeheartedly receive him being the fact the appointment was quite abrupt. Miss Sheraton cleared her throat with a slight lingering cough before expressing extensively: “Listen attentively. In the seven months Michael will work as the supervisor, I expect nothing less than absolute cooperation and collaboration to ensure we achieve our annual plans and objectives.” “Mark my words; I wouldn't condone any form of insubordination from any of you based on my unilateral decision. The new supervisor has proven he has a great skill in instilling order which some of you need to get the job done.” She paused to catch a slight breath before continuing: “Henceforth, he would be in charge of general winemaking inspection while I receive reports from him at all times, which involves the work processes, work ethics, and every
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 23: The Good Quest!!!
Michael reflectively narrowed his eyes to catch the glimmer of who uttered those words and the motive behind it.Before switching his gaze towards the subject, his sensory organs detected who the possible personnel was, but a clear stare would submerge any further doubts.“If they discover I told you about this, I would be bullied. Michael Scofield, can you keep a secret?” the voice reiterated once more with a tingling aura.Without hesitation, he slightly scoffed followed by an implicit response. “If you didn't trust me enough. I believe you wouldn't consider letting the cat out of the bag.”“What's it?”After a few moments of introspectiveness, the voice oozed back to words. “Some of the male folks don't like you. I eavesdropped on their scornful conversations about all attention being drawn towards you, including the women who used to admire them now drool over you.”“You need to be cautious and watchful. Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise is saturated with different shades of gray tha

Chapter 204: A Dangerous War
Michael softly smirked and tutted his lips. “A puppet CEO who supposedly embezzled millions?”He had heard the opinions of some media industries about him, and as expected, it didn't come out nicely.He didn't expect the media houses who were quick to run such headlines to have integrity and would easily be swayed to promote content that would incite controversies.The more they broadcast such notions, the more their chances of earning from public opinion expand.He remembered vividly during his trial for embezzling funds from Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise accounts. The same media expertise took it a life duty to broadcast the fabricated evidence.“Seemed so,” Claire chipped in. “It’s ridiculous that some media industries are pushing the narrative rapidly. Gosh!”Michael wasn't surprised about the rapid spread of those indicting news. Marshall wouldn't embark on such a war without having some media enterprises in his control.Hence, those designated media industries might have been i
Chapter 203: A Breach In The Walls

Inside were detailed financial records; his own financial records, except they were manipulated with false transactions.The numbers painted an untrustworthy picture, making it appear as if he had been funneling company funds into personal offshore accounts.When he had just got out of the fabricated transactions in Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. His foes swiftly attacked through his father's company.“They’ve been tampered with,” She continued, her vo
Chapter 202: In Her Arms
Each stare from Scarlett reeked of utmost confidence. He didn't have any doubt about her trust in him.Regardless of what the headlines would say about him— Scarlett, who hadn't known him for more than four months, seemed to be a staunch believer in his belief system.Little wonder, she visited the interrogation cell during his temporary detention.“The storm will definitely arise but it won't swallow you up. They're fighting you badly because you're better in every way.”“Brace yourself! You have done a lot for humanity, you have been a good example for the present and younger generations. Your integrity and value system have set a precedent for us to adhere to.”“You're our hero! The multi-talented Herbal Fortress! The business genius! There's nothing they'd pull off that we can't withstand!”Scarlett's words were concise and filled with life.She knew exactly what to say and didn't stutter in the process.Her eyes never left Michael's while spilling those thick, famous words that w
Chapter 201: The Storm Breaks

Also, the undercover job he did to expose the bad eggs in the winery company helped him to understand its structure. With the assistance of Stephanie, Sheraton, Oprah Gracy, Sharon, and Cole, the sky was just a starting point.However
Chapter 200: The Looming Strike
Michelle drew a slow breath, glancing nervously around. “He's planning something big. I overheard him talking to some of his allied, powerful, wealthy figures before he was arrested. He's looking for leverage; a way to bring you down.”Michael’s forehead knitted in thoughts. “Why are you telling me this?”Her voice remained steady “Because I have hurt you enough," she admitted quietly. “I made mistakes, but I don't want to see you destroyed. Despite everything, I… still care in some way.”For a moment, there was silence. Michael studied her emotions, facial expression, demeanor, and attitude— searching for deception, but found none.“Thank you for the warning,” he cautiously replied. “I hope you find the path you’re looking for.”Michelle chimed in a shaky smile and turned heading out until his voice halted her tracks.“Who are these unknown allied figures? I know they have been sponsoring this battle. What do they have to gain? Who are they?”Michael's words oozed with curiosity— in
