Mega Conglomerate. Sounds of ruffling papers filled the air as Leonard was going through some documents on his table, signing and discarding some into the dustbin. His phone rang loudly interrupting him. It was Amanda. "Hey Leonard, it's been awhile. How have you been?" Amanda's cheerful voice came through the other end. "Yeah, I've been good. Just busy lately. What about you?" "I'm okay, just been busy with the bank and all. I'm on lunch break now and I decided to call you." Upon hearing the word 'bank', a thought popped into his mind. "Amanda, I remember your bank has many branches in New York, do you also have branches in California?" Leonard asked with a raised brow. "Yeah we do." "Good! Can I ask for a favour from you?" "Uhm yeah. If it's in my power to grant your favour for you then shoot, I'll see what I can do." "Can you investigate if the Parker family in California has business cooperation with any of the branches around?" Leonard asked. Since
THE MEGA CONGLOMERATE Melvin stood beholding the magnificence of the high tower building office complex. He arranged his tie and collar and proceeded to enter into the building. “Hey where’s your permit?” A guard said with a stern face, staring at him. Melvin let out an annoyed scoff and brought out a card from his pocket. The securities were strict with visitors and employees. Every visitor was to have a visit permit, which will show to the guard. Most of the formalities were to be done via the company’s website; employees were to show their cards before entering. Once I get the contract with this company, let me see how you will behave towards me. Puffing his shoulders up with pride, Melvin entered into the company’s complex and was met by Mr. Daniel Reigns who was standing by the door, checking his wristwatch time to time. “Mr. Reigns,” Melvin greeted with a smile.A look of irritation appeared on Daniel’s face as he stared at Melvin. “You’re ten minutes
THE EVERETT’S RESIDENCE.Collins walked into the villa with a train of servants behind him carrying wrapped gifts. “Hello everyone, it’s anyone at home?”James appeared at the staircase at the sound of his voice alongside his entire family. Upon seeing him, Amelia rolled her eyes with irritation and walked away. Emily stared at her sister and was about to do the same.“Emily? Please I’m sorry,” Collins said, kneeling on the floor with one knee. “Please don’t take what happened between us to heart. Find a space in your heart to forgive me, I’m a changed man now.”James immediately ran down the stairs towards and tried to help him up.“No uncle, don’t try to help me up. I won’t stand up unless Emily decides to forgive me and if she doesn’t, I don’t think there should be any need for a marriage between us. I’m sure my decision is fair,” Collins said with a hidden smirk.“Huh?” James turned to look at Emily.“Emily dear,” Rosalie called out, holding her shoulders affectiona
THE MARSHALL’S RESIDENCE. The villa was covered with decorative lightings and flowers, which gave out a welcoming feeling to the guests. The villa was bubbling with many activities as the servants moved up and down, back and forth the mansion trying to make sure everything goes well for the celebratory party that was going to be held in the mansion.Chandler descended the stairs with a cane in his hand, supported by victor was by his side. He nodded in satisfaction as he stared at the scenery before him.“You have really done your best by putting this up victor<” Chandler said with an approving glance.Victor puffed up his chest with pride. “I couldn’t afford to let you down, grandpa. Don’t worry; dad is definitely going to bring good news home soon.”“Hmph, you and your father have never let me down but I can’t say that about Shadrach and his son.” Chandler said with a scorn on his face.“Don’t worry grandpa. We definitely bring glory to this family and take it
The toilets of the company were been cleaned by the non-working staff of the company and were always clean but for some reason, the staff called in sick and the toilets have not been cleaned for days now. In order to punish Melvin, Don had asked him to clean up the toilets, which was very demeaning of his status. Melvin looked up at the Don with surprise on his face. How can the soon to become helmsman of the Marshalls be reduced to an ordinary cleaner overnight? If word of this goes out not only will he be humiliated and embarrassed, Chandler will be so mad at him for making his family a laughing stock and he will know that he had led to him when he said he had already gotten the contract. “Mr. Don that’s unacceptable, I can do anything other than that,” Melvin said with sour face.“Trying to back down on your words? Never knew that the son of Chandler Marshall, my supposed friend was a coward,” Don said with a smirk.Melvin swallowed hard at the piercing gaze of the Don. “I can’t
“If you can’t let this matter go then I’ll clean the toilets on his behalf,” Shadrach said with his eyes closed, bowing down in apologetic manner.Don stared at him with complicated emotions. There were CCTV cameras stationed everywhere in the company, what if Leonard was actually watching this and sees his father bowing down to him and apologizing? He will definitely get mad after all Don was just his subordinate and he was the true owner of the company.The Don could not help but feel pity for Shadrach, he was a good man but was surrounded by people who had ill and malicious intentions towards him and his family. Don glanced at Melvin who had a little smirk on his face and he frowned deeply, Melvin was not even repentant towards his own brother!Dom immediately rushed to Shadrach by instinct and helped him up. “For your sake, I’ll let this matter slide but something like this happens again, I won’t take this matter lightly.”Shadrach immediately nodded. “Yes, I’ll make sure nothing
"What?! Dad, what do you mean by that?!" Victor yelled, shaking his father and attracting the attention of the patrons. "What do you want us to tell grandpa?""Didn't you assure us that Mr. Reigns will help us? Then what happened?"Melvin looked up at his father with reddened eyes and shook his hand off him. "No matter how drunk I am, you should never dare to shout at me. Mr Reigns ditched me! We're done for! I can't go home now, what would I say to my father?!"…Shadrach's Home."Darling, I think you should go over to the villa. Melvin lost the contract, why don't you try getting the contract back?" Catherine said, staring at Shadrach over the dinner table."What are you saying, Cath? Melvin lost the contract, how do you expect me to get it for the family? Will father even trust me enough to give me the proposal to handle? Don't forget, he hates me now.""Don't say that. You don't know for certain, a father won't hate his son no matter what. You work there, don't you?" Catherine ask
Soon, all the guests left.Chandler turned to the old man to thank him. "Thank you so much Richard. Without your help, I don't think I would have handled this myself.""Don't thank me yet Chandler. Do the needful," Richard replied and walked away with the young man with a briefcase.Chandler couldn't help but want to cough out blood when he remembered the embarrassment he had suffered."Find Melvin and his useless son and bring them to me!"…5am.At the bar."Dad, let's go home. You have drank enough," Victor said, covering his nose at the unbearable smell coming out from his father."No, leave… me. I… want… to drink some… more!" Melvin yelled drunkily, pushing Victor's hands away."No father, you have drank enough already. Grandpa is already mad at us, let's not make it worse by sitting here," Victor said in a persuasive tone.Melvin looked at him. His eyes were giving him a woobly vision, he was seeing Victor in two's. "Who… who are you to… to tell… tell me what… what… to… do?! I'm
