THE MARSHALL’S RESIDENCE. “Leonard,” Shadrach called out as he watched Leonard eat his breakfast in a hurried pace. “Yes dad, you need anything?” Leonard asked, wiping his mouth with a napkin. “You’ve been really busy and you don’t even come back home early, is there any problem?” He said with concern. Catherine also looked up at Leonard waiting for his reply. “Yes Leo, since you came back home, you’ve changed.” Leonard smiled faintly and glanced at his parents. “Mom, Dad, you don’t have to worry too much about me. I’m fine.” Bang! Bang! A sudden knock came with all force on the door. Catherine held the napkin on the table with fear in her eyes. Leonard stared at them, noting the scared reactions of his parents he already knew who was at the door. He stood up and walked slowly to the door. The knocks became persistent. Leonard held the door’s handle and pulled open the door. It was victor, he almost fell to the ground when the door was “Didn’t your father teach you how to kno
Shadrach looked at his dad whose face was swollen with anger. "I'm sorry dad." Chandler only glanced at him and didn't say a word. Leonard curled up his fist in anger. This family only derives joy in humiliating father! I'll definitely bring back the lost honour and respect for my father and they will kneel and crawl on the floor in front of father for the ill treatment given to him! ... The party continued and the whole family and guests had given up their gifts. Chandler stared at Shadrach and his family. "Don't tell me you didn't bring any gifts for me." Every eye turned towards them. Leonard stepped forward. "Of course grandpa. It's your birthday and so we're supposed to bring a gift for you." Taking out a small sized bottle from his pocket. He handed it over to the servant beside Chandler. "What's this?" Chandler asked, puzzled, staring at the white crystalline substance in the bottle. "Salt." They all exchanged glances. "What do you mean?" "I brought salt for you
"Young man, how did you manage to lay your hands on such a rare commodity. I've been looking for this salt for years now but I haven't been able to lay my hands on one," Edward said, staring at Leonard with amazement. Hearing that the salt was actually real, rare and expensive. Chandler's face immediately brightened up. "Get the salt off the floor. Put it back into a bottle, my grandson gave me an expensive gift," Chandler whispered to the servant with a big grin on his face. Upon hearing how expensive Leonard's gift was, he hurriedly spoke to the servant beside him to get the salt off the floor but suddenly, Edward said with a wide grin. "Mr Marshall, I hope you don't mind if I get the salt? You threw away such a priceless and expensive gift meaning you never wanted it so I will love to get it for myself." Leonard smirked widely, he had heard Chandler whisper to the servant to get the salt off the floor. However, it seemed Edward also had his eyes on this rare salt. Chandler's
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
