Jade saw Andre prancing forward in the company of his hefty-looking security officers and he stopped to greet him.Just like other staff, Jade had accepted his fate; since he would still want to be working at Swan, he had zeroed his mind to humble himself and be loyal to Andre.To Jade, there would never be another break through for the anonymous heir and the entire Pablo’s. Zhang Meng had come to stay and this was the destiny of Swan Group.And because Swan Group was the most valuable company in Antipolo, where anyone would work and earn well, Jade wouldn’t want to incure the wrath of Andre or Zhang, which could terminate his job.Keep it safe; that was the personal decision he took and he wished Jamole would do same and swallow his pride.“Greetings boss,” Jade greeted once Andre surged closer. Tossing his head proudly,Andre replied, “Jade, how are you doing?”Jade bowed and smiled timidly, “I am good, boss. I must commend you look cute today,” he intoned, before his gaze scanned A
When Jamole walked into the villa and was welcomed by tranguility, he was a bit troubled over the whereabout of Susan.As usual he thought she had hit the club to get tipsy after their bickering at the hospital, but with her Lamborghini still parked outside, he knew she was back to the villa. She had searched for her virtually in all the rooms and didn’t see; later he saw her in the pent house, where she gazed upon the photo of Swan Pablo.Jamole knew with the raging storm, she needed some time alone. And that was why she came to the pent house. But he needed to break the horrible news to her and how he got the disgrace of his life at the hospital earlier today.“Been searching for you all over,” Jamole said coldly, standing behind her to stare at the photo of Swan Pablo, “I guess you need some privacy.”Susan sniffed heaily, “I will be much appreciative if you don’t get it ruined,” she replied quietly and still gazed on the photo, not really interested in what ever news jamole came w
Jamole’s eyes squinted. “Did you just slap me?” Jamole asked, his eyes dimmed at his offender.“And I will do it again, perhaps it will correct your foolishness! Your failure has stolen everything from us! Our legacy, integrity, fortune, life, everything we have ever worked for have gone! My dad is on the verge of dying! What kind of son-in law-are !” she yelled.Jamole had been fighting off tears and he wouldn’t want to let those tears trickle down now because he had decided to work out his fate and not cry.“you are always fond of giving up on me each time I am down but once I hit the jack pot you become sweet-tongue. Why are you always doing this? Do you think I am the cause of my misfortune?” Jamole asked gently.Although Susan still kept at her yelling, Jamole decided to answer her coldly without raising his voice; he still heald her in high esteem.“Hey, namby-pamby,” she cursed, “I warned you. If this got to do with the company alone, trust me, I wouldn’t cork an eye brow, aft
Susan wasn’t into this; she wasn’t trained by Swan Pablo to sell her propertt dung difficult times. But she had to take the bull by the horn. Swan Pablo’s medical bills were at stake. The only thing that came to mind when it came to selling properties was her diamond stiletto.The very one Roger gifted her.“Please, sir, this is cross diamond stiletho and not your regular shoe. I can only sell it for ten point five million dollars,” Susan nagged.The boutique owner, a thick Mexican glared at the diamond shoe with dismal eyes.“Ma, am, this is New Era Boutique and we know quality shoes when we see one. He shook his head, “This is not one of it, so if you can sell it for half a million dollars I am in…”“Half a million dollars?” Susan snapped and rolled her eyes at the man, “I guess you don’t know the quality of this shoe. This is Gross Diamond.” She raised the pair, “It has ten carrat diamonds on its sole…”“That doesn’t matter. Whether it has ten carat or twenty carat diamond, I just w
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
