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
Shadrach looked towards Leonard and nodded, sniffing back his tears that were about to fall off his eyes."Dad, I came here to help."Chandler raised a brow. "What do you mean by help?""We heard that Melvin wasn't able to get the contract for the family so we decided to come here to see if we can help," Leonard replied."Grandpa wasn't talking to you and since my dad failed in getting the contract how do you think you can get the contract? Are you trying to say you are better than us?" Victor asked angrily."Grandpa, pay no heed to their words. Infact, chase them out! They don't have to be here poking their noses into what's not their business."Chandler glared at Victor. "Are you trying to tell me what to do?""Grandpa, I was only…""Silence!" Chandler yelled, shutting him up. "You don't get to speak at all.""Shadrach, Melvin has failed. What assurance do you give to me that you can get the contract?" Chandler asked with a raised brow.Sensing that Chandler was considering his opti
Shadrach couldn't help but tremble as he walked towards the Don's office. Luckily, today there was no surprisingly no queue available. With a knock at the door, he heard a faint 'come in'. Taking in a deep breath, he opened the door and there sat Don occupying himself with tons and tons of paperwork. "Good day Mr Don," Shadrach greeted respectfully. The Don barely looked his way and pointed to chair in front of him, gesturing for him to sit. Shadrach pulled the chair out with shaking hands and sat down. "Mr Marshall, what can I do for you?" Don asked, punching in the keys on his laptop. "Well, Mr Don, I know my family has wronged you in a way but I was hoping you could give us another chance and look at the proposal I have brought," Shadrach replied. Don stopped typing and looked straight at him, making Shadrach nervous. "Let me see." Shadrach handled him the black file in his eyes and Don went through it and dropped it on the table. "Yes, truly your family has wronged me by
"Give me the phone," Shadrach replied with a nervous voice.Catherine followed him down the stairs towards the telephone hung on the wall."Hello, Shadrach Marshall on the line," Shadrach said, staring at Catherine who nudged him on."Hello Mr Marshall, the Don would like to speak to you. Hold on for him."Shadrach left out a sharp breath."Hello, Mr Marshall. I've gone through your proposal and I have found it quite expectional from the rest. Will you be available tomorrow so we can seal the deal?" Don asked.Shadrach felt so elated that he couldn't express the joy he was feeling. "Yes sir. I will be there first thing tomorrow morning.""Good. Looking forward to working with you."Then, the call went dead.Shadrach dropped the telephone and Catherine gave him an anxious look. "What did they say?""I have gotten the contract!" Shadrach announced with a big smile on his face."Oh my God!" Catherine screamed, covering her mouth. "I told you, didn't I? Just have hope."Tears of joy fille
The Marshall's Residence.Shadrach walked into the Villa with a big smile on his face. He clutched the black file in his hands with a triumphant smile on his face. He had just bagged a contract with Mega Conglomerate and he just signed the contract with them. He was sure that Chandler would finally hold him up with high regard. "Father, I'm here with the signed documents," Shadrach announced, entering into the living room. He was met by Melvin who was sitting close to his father and stared at him with a smirk on his face as he walked towards them. Shadrach didn't understand the reason for that type of smile and only smiled at him. "Give them to Melvin," Chandler replied without looking at him. Shadrach raised a brow of confusion. "Why should I give them to Melvin?" "I said give them to Melvin. You're in no position to ask me questions!" Shadrach swallowed and looked towards Melvin, stretching out the file in his hands towards him. Melvin gave out a smile and grabbed it from
