He sighed slightly and stared towards his cupboard to grab a glass cup. He had been thirty for quite a while, and the water dispenser was right beside his desk.

He wasn't expecting any form of complications at the office, his mind was deeply rooted in his ongoing training.

Within five seconds he gulped the first portion inside his throat and went for the second filling.

Sheraton was still organizing her thoughts on how to present the bothersome issue to him.

“Uh… mm… it seemed like the evil scheme against our winery wasn't completely wiped off.”

She finally gutted out, those words had been stuck in her throat for over five minutes.

Her expression stiffened the more, her fingers deliberately crossed which showed how the situation wasn't a bluffing matter.

He was going for a third water filling when his hand abruptly hung in the air— he receded his right palm and dropped the glass cup on his desk.

He blinked slowly and switched his neck towards her in slow motion as her last words kept

    Michael Scofield thrived to control his growing anger and ensured it was well contained to avoid issuing overboard actions.His reverberating words banged on Sheraton's head and had her shoulders clothed in gripping goosebumps.She hadn't witnessed the new COO in such an uproar mood and knew underneath his smirks was a young man who had a lot on his plate.It wasn't the first time he had experienced something similar in an establishment.The bad eggs that were in an embezzlement scheme that he exposed in Charleston Park Shopping Mall helped to influence Mr. Charleston’s special attention towards him.If Sheraton's words were true, then Mr. Jake Roland intended to turn the winery company into a money-stealing adventure.Sheraton, in a split of seconds, dialed the reception center to reach out to the Head of Logistics as soon as possible.“Tell him it's urgent. The COO wants him in his office in less than a hundred and twenty seconds.”She was quarterly moved off from the table and sudd

    Michael sighed inwardly— while living with Augustine's family, he thought he had seen enough of pretentious masterminds.However, Jake had just shown he hadn't seen enough just yet— how he comfortably sat before him and dished out unsolicited lies just to appear as an angel.“You are nothing like your predecessor whose agenda was mainly to steal from the company's treasury. Thank Heavens he was sacked in time,” he mouthed once more without even considering the COO had a reason for summoning him in the first place.Michael smirked in his heart and mused: “As though you aren't the replica of him? Funny!”A thought came alive in his head, and he knew how exactly to handle the tricky sweet talker.“Ohhh, my predecessor? I've heard and seen photographs of you two. The story had it that both of you were best of friends. Really? Wow.”Michael's diplomatic words plunged into Jake's heart, and he gave out an abrupt cough, followed by a hasty heartbeat.For a few seconds, he lost his guard with

    Jake struggled to observe a steady hard breath to control his breathing pace.Of all the things he'd have suspected, he definitely wouldn't have known what the new COO was already planning before sending for him.Perhaps, if for a second he had chilled out and allowed Michael Scofield to inform him of the reason for his summon, probably, he'd have gotten a stance on how to handle the threatening situation.[Is he really guilty?]Most of the invited Audit team had their eyeballs bulged at Jake who did everything possible to avoid eye contact by staring downwardly and forcing glimpses of smiles here and there.Apparently, Michael didn't engage the two parties before him in any quick conversation; he took his time to observe their outlooks, demeanors, reactions, emotional countenances, and whatever in-depth he could perceive.In less than a minute, his phone beeped, and it came from Sheraton, who winked at him after he was done reading through the text message.“Sir… Sir, what could we h

    His words depicted a different aura from what his actions were exuding and it was crystal clear for a blind man to deduce.Michael knew John wasn't good under pressure, and the few minutes of his entrance had given him enough belief that both parties should have been accomplices in shady businesses.Jake ignorantly prayed inwardly for the new COO to buy John's last statement and not stress the conversation any further.“Wow. Lack of food makes one behave like a suspect? I never knew,” Michael sarcastically mused and sighed in his heart.Sheraton, for over two minutes, vehemently fought not to laugh out during John's blame on lack of breakfast and held her mouth warming for the chuckles yet to come.“You mean to say because you skipped breakfast, you suddenly perceive Jake as a man with no integrity even without being asked? Huh? Make that make sense to me.”As usual, Michael didn't let the sleeping dogs lie; he believed he could leverage John's clumsiness and have him spill too much.

  • Michael Scofield Has Returned!   Chapter 72: Stay Tuned!!!

    Sheraton Morgan, who had been deliberately standing behind Jake and John with her arms positioned in akimbo posture, decided to briskly sit somewhat beside them still stealing glances at their unhidden clumsiness.The informed words of Michael Scofield about the expected company plunged perplexity and anxiety in their countenance, with their heart entertaining, disturbing thoughts.They still haven't grasped what the new COO is fully planning on but the scent of it didn't seem like a good omen.Michael was already having a long day, but he never envisaged to behold two guilty-minded personnel to constantly humiliate themselves all in the name of appearing as the better person.Interestingly, he observed something fundamental with his time spent with both men before him— he'd have rushed to mouth out why they were summoned or unveiled his furious facial expression.Importantly, a subtle voice whispered to his gut to sit down calmly— and wear a believable mild expression, while watching

    It wasn't until sixty seconds after the fear-gripping words fell out from Michael Scofield’s mouth, that a subtle knock was perceived from the office door.He blinked at Sheraton Morgan to do the needful as he couldn't wait to see the outcome of subsequent dramas.He was done entertaining the comedy concert of his labeled two staff and it was high time they moved to the next level.She arose with a smiling aura and faced towards the door— each of her deliberate footsteps slammed John and Jake's hearts like a drumbeat.[It's Michael's world against theirs!]Their random thoughts fell into a jumbled mess as they couldn't make sense of what was looming around their necks.Michael remained calm and calculative while he watched Sheraton stretch towards the office door knob.“Good morning, you're welcome.”She chimed in with a welcoming smile and swung the door wider.“Good morning, the goddess of beauty personified. Your beauty seems renewed every single morning.”A somewhat charmy thick v

    Both guilty-minded personnel exchanged conscious eye contact and drew a deep breath in fear of what would soon befall them.Originally, Jake and John would have had words to spill to disorient the atmosphere, but Michael once allowed them to express whatever was left, and they unanimously decided not to say any further words.Little wonder, they had been unbelievably silent and would speak up only being spoken to.Morris held his two palms in respect to Michael for the opportunity and without delay unzipped his lips:“Mr. Jake is a profound thief. Not just a thief but a clever mastermind who doesn't do anything without a beneficial clause attached to it.”His first labeling words had begun, which sent an explicit message to Jake and his supposed cohort that hell had completely broken loose.He tried to maintain a calmer disposition as though Morris’ words weren't penetrating but his vibrating legs betrayed him.Michael and Sheraton could decisively decode the gripping tension in Jake'

    Jake garnered some level of growing confidence in expressing himself before he drowned without attempting to save himself.His eyes were somewhat overly widened against Morris in a staunch defense against his repeated accusations.The atmosphere abruptly went silent which gave the two men the chance to continually stare at each other with lots of sneering and sighing.Sheraton, who was preparing to blurt out a scornful laugh against Jake and John after the premeditated appearance of Morris, was shunned at the proactive response of Jake.She rotated her eyes at all the men in the office, including Michael Scofield, who maintained an approachable demeanor thus far.John's facial expression suddenly started coming alive after the epic defense from his colleague— he nudged his neck and rolled his eyelids against Morris as a smidge of confidence sprinkled on his guts.The new COO wasn't entirely surprised by Jake's proficiency in words and his quickness in propelling a defense mechanism to

    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?
