"How did it go?" Gina asked that question immediately she saw Derek stepping out of the restaurant. All along, she had been beside his car waiting for him."Not good," he told her. "Although they kept denying that they were there on a date.""What was their claim then?""Something like a business discussion. My wife works at the Jackson and Sons so she's about to be promoted. And what comes with that package is the overseeing of the deal they just agreed on with our company."Gina didn't look pleased. "That sounds as awful as knowing your wife is on a date with another man. She's literally going to be the head of something you are completely against," she said icily with an edge to her tone."Unfortunately that's what it's going to look like. I don't even know what to say or how to feel at this point," Derek lamented."Didn't you tell her to back out of it?""How am I supposed to convince her to back out of an opportunity as big as this? It's the first ever for her and she made it cle

"No, it's not about you, Kathy," Derek said, the stress he was feeling getting evident in his tone. "I don't know how to explain it so you'll believe me but I know your consortium hasn't been all righteous over the years.There is evidence that points toward that and I'm only trying to make sure Cora Limited doesn't fall victim to the scandal that has been happening with your company.""And where's your evidence?" Catherine wanted to know."It's with the management. I left it with them.""Or you're just lying about the evidence…""I'm not. You heard Eugene Leviathan talk about it, didn't you? He saw it too and knows that I have something that can be used against the Jackson and Sons," he said, trying his best to convince her that he wasn't lying about anything.All what he was saying wasn't enough to make Catherine convinced at all. Her expression kept showing that he was not being outright with her and there was nothing he could do just to change her mind."You don't need this, Derek

Thay question Derek threw at Catherine wss what he knew he could use to have an upper say at that pointHe was already short of ideas and was also looking for a way to redeem himself. That was his best call and he was going to make good use of it."There as his plaything? Are you even listening to yourself, Derek? Why would I be the plaything to someone like Richard Langston who doesn't know how it is to take care of a woman?" Catherine fired back at him."And how do you know he doesn't know how to take care of a woman?" Derek narrowed his eyes as he asked her that. His expression harbored confusion and he wanted to exude that as much as possible."Because Richard Langston was never faithful in his marriage. I'm not surprised his wife divorced him…" Catherine said and then looked like she recalled something which she then let out. "And how do you know about his divorce? Are you his confidant or something?""Don't divert the discussion here, Catherine. You still haven't answered my que

Calling a meeting with the heads of each department alongside the management wasn't the way to start the day. However, that was what Derek was facing.The manager had requested all of their presence in the conference room, stating they needed to be there to rub minds on the second phase of their new project which was taking a major change.The big problem was that both Eugene Leviathan and Catherine were present in the meeting with them. And to make things worse, he was sitting opposite her.He noticed how she kept looking away from him just like she did when she first arrived at the company with Eugene. And she has kept up with that act."I am Eugene Leviathan and I serve as a district manager in the Jackson and Sons Consortium," Eugene introduced himself as he stood up from his seat. "Beside me is Catherine McKay, the present head of logistics in the headquarters and she will be serving as the right-hand man in this deal, reporting directly to the HQ."A few heads turned toward Dere

"Can you rephrase your question? I don't think I understand what you mean," Eugene Leviathan said to the man who asked him the last question."Why does your company want a collaboration with ours at this point?"Eugene had to stand up again to address the entire team. He didn't look too pleased though but he remained composed."The Jackson and Sons was just referred to as one of the biggest companies in the global market and that's a fact that's well known.We didn't just attain that position without working toward it. We got it by trying so hard and by trying so hard, we have everything to show for it.You ask why now? If not now, then when?"His response to the question only left more questions lingering in the mind of others. That was his goal… to not be straightforward.This was because he realized how less being straightforward has helped him in the meeting.From where Derek sat, he couldn't help but commend the man. As much as he was beginning to hate his guts, he couldn't deny

"Details on Eugene Leviathan, coming up in one, two, and boom."Right in Derek's face, descriptions ipin descriptions mounted up on the screen of Marcus's desktop in the study.The information he was seeing was more than just basic information. It looked in-depth. And in-depth enough to get anything on anyone."What did you do?" he had to ask, his curiosity piqued as to how Marcus was able to find vital information about a man that didn't want his lifestyle out there.Marcus shrugged and said, "You know me. I have my ways."Derek couldn't dispute that knowing how much connection his friend had with the cyber world. It was easy for him to always get anything and that was one of the reasons he kept going back to him for help each time."So what do we have here? Ah, the background of Eugene Leviathan," Marcus announced as he scrolled through the information, using the mouse cursor as an aid.Derek focused intensely on the information on the screen to gauge what was on it. And from the in

The receiver on Derek's desk rang out for a couple of seconds and he hesitated picking it up. It could possibly be from the management and he wasn't cut out to speak to them at that moment.He hesitated for a while before he then finally gave in. Although he wasn't still okay with it."Hello," he said into the receiver as he leaned forward more."Hello, sir," a voice came in and he recognized it as his assistant's voice. "I hope I'm not disturbing you but the receptionist called and said there's someone here to see you.""Someone here to see me?" he asked, his expression hitching as he tried to guess about who the visitor could possibly be. "Well why didn't the receptionist reach out to me directly.""She said she tried but she has been cut out of access to your office."That sounded ridiculous to him but he didn't want to clamor for too long. "Did she say who it is?""Yes. Edna Langston."Immediately Derek found himself a bit hyper. Edna Langston was in his office to see him? How str

"I'm sorry, Edna, but I don't think I can accept your offer despite how tempting it is. For so many reasons I can't explain, it feels so wrong," Derek told the woman, outrightly declining the offer that he was so close to actually accepting.It was the feeling of things not being right that was bothering him. And if he put that feeling aside, he would jump on the offer without thinking twice. But not at that moment."What's wrong? Maybe you need to find a way to make me understand. Or do you perhaps think I'm messing with you? If that's what you think, I'll call my lawyer now so he can draft the documents now that will effect the handing over. I'm being serious here."He has never seen Edna look as stern as she did right at that moment. Every word that came out of her mouth felt sincere and he actually wanted to believe her."It's not that," he said. "Like I said before, it's a whole lot that I can't explain and I really can't." He shrugged after saying that. "I just can't place my ha
