To humanity, failure and unpredented setback were the worst of nightmares. And this was the fate of Jamole. This time he was at the balcony staring at the moon light and at another time he was in the bedroom, staring at the clock and counting hours to the inaugaural ceremony of Zhnag Meng as the new CEO of Swan Group.Tonight, was the Eve of the ceremenoy and he could barely catch sleep. Susan was yet to return home and although he had tried to phone her, he sensed she was some where in the club whiling away time and drinking herself to stupor just to forget the impending trauma of losing their company.“Is this how the might falls?” Jamole said within himself and stroked his hair confsudely, “How can I lose a company that was put in my care? How can an egale suddenly become a duck? Is that possible?”His thought was interrupted by the buzzing of a car which just stopped in front of their house. It was a taxi and seeing the driver alight to aid the passenger with a wheelchair, he knew
“What is it, Janet? What has happened?” Susan queried, confusion and anxiety smearing her face.“Yes! Yes! I made it! I am made, sweetie! This is end of poverty. We are taking over. We are recocering all.” Jamole got to to her side and stamped a huge kiss on her lips, “We are made! One trillion dollars! One trillion…”Susan’s brow was raised in uncertainty, as she focused her gaze on the TV set which Jamole was pointing at. The uproar and noise created by Jamole couldn’t let her get details of the news, so she resorted to reading it briefly online.Jamole had the action of a newly insane man who just let loose from his fetters. He jumped around and stumbled from one corner to tother, chanting, “One trillion! One trillion!Susan already was reading the news online and she screwed up her face to see it was about the discovery of one million barrels of crude oil in Acrid Forest at the early hours of today.She stared blankly in space in one thoughtful moment; sometime ago, she had warned
The inaugural ceremony to present Zhang as the new CEO of Swan was already ongoing. Most of the audience, including Zhang didn’t know the news that was making the round in public.The sudden leap to wealth of the anonymous heir was making the round and the reclaim of his company was news that held the public spell-bound.Zhang didn’t know what was downplaying, so when one of his aides walked into the hall and whispered to him, he was forced to go outside for further discussion.“What did you just say? Zhang queried and took the newspaper form him to read the headline.“While we are celebrating your new position as the new CEO of Swan Group, a leap to unlimited wealth has happening to the anonymous heir and right now he is the current highest shareholder of Swan group with a share of one trillion dollars,”Zhang hissed and tore the newspaper, “This is bullshit. This is propanganda. Why do you people listen to propanganda? This is unverified news, it is false. Do you know how much is on
McDonald was gasping for breath. Despite driving down to this place, he was already gasping for breath. Zhang gave grinned gormlessly when he saw a newspaper in his hand. He knew it was about the anonymous heir’s leap to trillions. But he hesitated to jump into conclusion.“Zhang! Zhang!” McDonald called and finally paused to catch breath, “Have you seen this? There is chaos in the shares’ market. This is unbelievable. I never knew Acrid Forest belongs to the anonymous heir.”“I know it is the same news you have come to share with me,” he sighed and snorted before asking, “How can I be stranded? I can’t even access my office. Some of my personal stuffs are in there.”McDonald shook his head in pity, “You were so fast to move into his office. You should have waited until after the inaugural ceremony. You may have to wait after tomorrow.”Zhang screwed up his face, “After tomorrow? Why after tomorrow? What is happening tomorrow?” he queried anxiously.“It is already in the news,” McDona
Stella had a bouquet of flower, a delightsome smile on her face and her palms couldn’t stop stroking her huge baby bump. Vivian, Zara and Kennedy, smiled from cheek to cheek, as they expected to see the arrival of the anonymous heir.The crowd was a perfect mixture of the public, eyewitness from all walks of life and a variety of journalist from different media homes. The reacquisition of Swan Group with one trillion dollars worth of shares had got the public talking. And virtually everyone wanted to witness the inaugural ceremony.Zhang, Andre and Roger were seen seated at the front row. Zhang wished he could avoid this day and he would have if he had a clue about who was about visiting was not who he thought it was.McDonald, who came late, was seated at a farther pew from Zhang. And Jade had finally found time to rest after making sure the entire venues was well arranged and in order for the ceremony. The job was really telling on him since Andre was too proud to resume his job as
Vivian, Zara and Kennedy were pacing up and down the hospital, combing around for any available doctor or nurse to walk out of the labor room and inform them why Stella had been screaming at the top of her voice since she got in.Vivian stroked her hair confusedly as she nagged, “What the hell is happening? Did the presenter make a mistake by introducing Jamole Cadry as the CEO of Swan? Or are we expecting another? I am still perplexed and lost here. How can Jamole Cadry be the anonymous heir?”“What is the so-called Anderson? What is happening? What is going on? Stella told us the father of her babies is the anonymous heir, who happens to be Anderson? Is Jamole the same Anderson?” Kennedy asked and clicked his fingers in shock.“You guys are not even getting the point,” Zara panicked, “Is that not Jamole Cadry, the dirty-looking janitor who could barely smell nice let alone fend for himself? That is Jamole Cadry, Stella’s ex-husband. How did he become so rich that?”The receptionist
Immediately Jamole alighted from the car, he waited for his security officer to assist Susan. Paparazzi and journalists perched around and kept shooting flashes of camera at them.Gently Jamole led Susan into the hospital and he met a spectacle when they got in; the doctor and a handful of nurses welcomed them with colorful flowers.This was the same hospital where he was humiliated by onlookers just because his credit card was blocked by Zhang. He couldn’t believe his sight. He had only come to visit his father-in-law and never planned to witness a warm reception.But news of his sudden leap to the top had made the round and the doctor was forced to grant him a warm reception to honor his visit.“Is that not the same man we mocked when his credit card failed to pay?” a nurse mumbled to another. “I can remember we called him gold-digger. It was an embarrassing moment for him.”“His transformation had got me. I barely could recognize him. The Pablo’s must be excited for making him thei
On a crisp morning, Jamole had sent a memo across all his staff for a compulsory staffers and stakeholders meeting. Everyone had gathered in the board room and he stared across to see that some staffers were missing. Roger, Andre and Stella were not in the room. He had received information about Stella’s delivery of the twins, and he couldn’t wait to see her ruin in her pain.He could see Jade and how busy he was with his job of putting the hall in order and discarding the trash.Just then a figure appeared at the door. All eyes fell upon Roger whose face held a mountain of frown. In his hands were a pile of files and a briefcase. After tossing his head in pity, he walked majestically to Jamole and stretched an envelope to him.“That is my resignation letter. I have applied for my trust fund which is about five million dollars. Please I would want to get that money as soon as possible. That is part of my salary which the company has saved.”Jamole chuckled and replied, him, “Good ridd
