"Hey girl." Patricia greeted as she sat down on the sofa pouting."Okay what's wrong? Why the long face, did Ian do something he shouldn't have?" Jennifer asked waiting for an explanation."Well... the thing is, I was supposed to go over to his place tonight but instead he drove me here without prior notice." Patricia said now upset."That doesn't sound like Ian, did anything happen at work? He might just be having a bad day, from what I can see he likes you." Jenifer said reassuring her friend."I know, we both had a bad day, it is so unbelievable, I still can't put my finger on it. I mean come on, why would he come there of all places?" Patricia asked rhetorically and just kept talking, Jenifer was getting tired of listening to her that she chimed in..."Are you going to say something or would you prefer to just ramble on?""It's Oliver...""*Rolls her eyes* what about him? Are you still in love with him?" Jenifer chimes in yet again, this time getting disgusted, she hates hearing t
Oliver did his best to forget about everything negative happening around him and focused on learning the ropes as fast as he could.In just two weeks he got the hang of it all, but then he feels the need to do something that could make him worthy of running the company, although he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, but he felt he has to, least of all to himself and also for late Dorian Walter.So during the weekend, since he was in charge of the financial department of his company he felt the need to make sure the company's fund got doubled, and he did.However, while he was going through this he found something quite interesting in there, it was of course unnoticeable by mere computer operators but since he was overly good with computers one could say he was a guru, he was able to find it."Haha... got you, you will so pay for this and every other thing soon enough." He muttered as he smiles.While he was at it, Mrs Carlson walked into his study with a cup of coffee.She smil
Oliver Lane sent a text to Ian Harrison's phone boldly written:'I KNOW ALL OF YOUR DARKEST SECRETS'Even though he is yet to take over the company, he wants to torture Ian and make him lose his composure and also to make sure he makes a mistake.Ian whose phone was on his desk heard it's beep and took it up, he saw a text from an unknown number.Reading the context of the message, anxiety gripped him. His heart began beating fast in his chest. He has done many things in the past which he never wants to relive but seeing this, he couldn't fathom who had sent it, what they know about him and why they would want to send this just to threaten him, he just couldn't figure it out. It was too much for him to take in, process and decipher, his head was spinning nonstop.'Oh no who could this be? What do I do? I just know the things I do, will be the death of me someday. Who could have sent it, who could have sent this, what do they know?' He thought.He was so frantic, to the point that whe
She doesn't know how to feel about the image before her, under normal circumstances, she wasn't supposed to be affected but somehow she is and she cursed herself for it.Ashley and Oliver went out to a restaurant and ordered for a huge meal.They ate to their fill and came back to the company and went on with their jobs.Harrison was down all day so he wasn't in the mood to fight with Oliver.After closing hours, Ian and Patricia went home."What the hell happened to you earlier today? You practically shunned me away." Patricia blurted out, trying to get out the anger she has suppressed all day back at the company."I am sorry okay, I was not feeling too good, couldn't think straight earlier." Ian simply retorted.'Keep your cool don't provoke him, he is your man, if you cross boundaries and he gets upset with you and breaks up with you, you'll be homeless, jobless and broke. Calm yourself down.' Patricia thought and then walked to him gently."What's wrong baby?" She asked as lovingl
"Turn yourself in at the next board meeting as well as your accomplices." Oliver chimes in bluntly."Anything but that." Ian pleaded."That's what I want you to do, come clean. Own up to your mistakes like a man." Oliver stated sternly."Please Oliver, I beg you, I can't go down like this, I will give back Patricia to you, I know you still love her." Ian conveyed."I don't need someone who doesn't value me, so no thanks... you can have her for all I care. I will give you some time to make your decisions. You have till this weekend to decide." Oliver said and walked away.Ian couldn't take it anymore, he had a feeling that this would happen, and if he turns himself in that means he will lose his current job and that is what he dreads more than anything in the world.He found this job so as to become a better version of himself, in the past he was someone people looked down on and it hunts him like a ghost in the night. So having this job was redemption for him, and the thoughts of him
Oliver was beyond irritated seeing her up close, he recalled the humiliation she had subjected him to.This was someone he went out of his way for but she left him, and now she is here to try to talk to him to leave her so called new boyfriend alone.'This is ridiculous, what does she think she is doing? I can't take this any more.' Oliver thought."Good morning Oli." She said but Oliver quickly shunned,"It's Oliver, you've lost the right to call me that.""Come on you don't have to yell, okay fine, I am sorry for how I treated you when you arrived at the company, I was just so surprised to see you here.""Why so? I have a right to work and get employed too in a company, don't I?" Oliver asked"Yes, yes you do, my bad okay, that's why I am apologizing." Patricia said."You've done that, you can leave now." Oliver uttered."I actually came here for something else.""Okay then, why are you here right now? Wait, does it by any chance have to do with you asking me to turn a blind eye to
"It's time for the board meeting sir Oliver." Ashley said as she got into Oliver's office on a Monday afternoon."Yeah, let's go see where their head is at, and whatever you do, do not stand up for me. If it requires you fire me do that." Oliver said."But..." Ashley wanted to disagree, but Oliver chimes in, with a smile saying, "But nothing, I am getting tired of serving them anyways." "Haha, this is going to be fun." Ashley said."Yeah, let's go see what Ian is capable of." Oliver enunciated and they left for the conference room where the board meeting was being held that afternoon.More and more members of the board kept trooping in one after the other.On a normal circumstance, Oliver is not ranked enough to be with the board due to the fact that he is just in charge of the financial department and a mere employee. But, Ian wanted him in there because he wants to flip everything on him and bring him more humiliation than he could ever comprehend and also to make sure he never ge
"It's alright Mr Nathaniel, it really is okay, I knew this would happen since most of them have a hand in this, they want to protect each other but it's okay." Oliver retorted looking defeated."We would not want divisions in this establishment and if you could fake evidence and boldly bring it into a board meeting, I can't trust a word you say." Mr Wills conveyed."If you are with firing this new employee, raise up your hands." Mr Adrian said Out of the twenty board members present in that meeting 10 raised their hands."If you are not happy with firing him raise your hands."Five raised up their hands including Mr Nathaniel, who has been impressed and fascinated so far by Oliver's wisdom and intellectuals.He doesn't want him out, he felt he would take the company to the next level, he sees more in Oliver than Oliver sees in himself.'This company will remain static without him here, he just came here for some weeks and our stock got doubled if he were to stay here for much longer,
