Zhang was relaxed to his whisky and some vital documents in his spacious five star office, when his secretary knocked on the door and walked in arrogantly.“Good morning boss,” she greeted, bowing and when Zhang gave a nod for a reply she said yet further. “Boss we have a VIP visitor by name Mcdanold.”Zhang raised an anxious wink. “Mcdonald? The richest tycoon in in New York? Please let him in immediately. I hope he didn’t fill the visitors’ form.”“No, boss, he didn’t”, she replied.Mcdanold was ushered in and Zhang was awed in a crazy way when Mcdonald bowed to him.Zhang stood to his feet. “Oh mcdanold, please stop irony. The reverse should be the case. Please rise so that I can accord you the respect that is due you?”Mcdanold gazed upon him with indignation.“I guess you don’t realize who you are. Do you know what it means to be the CEO of Swan Group? Swan is a sprawling, famous real estate company that has been the admiration of every fat cat.”He had a seat.“Every tycoon wan
JAMOLE was having handy a document, standing before Susan who was getting ready for work. He came back with the document to break the good news to her.But then it was a good news with a touch of bad news, so he had stormed to the café, gotten drunk and couldn’t return on time to share it with her.Every good thing was happening at the wrong time. Jamole wished he could wave the magic wand and everything would normalize.But it would only be in his imagination, because he had just one week to go.“What document is that?” Susan asked, and paused to gaze upon the gloom on his face.Jamole wanted to speak and his lips shook with mixed feelings.“I…I…um…” he swallowed hard, and sat down to raise his gaze at the ceiling.“Could you please say what it is and stop stuttering,” she rode her wheelchair to him and wanted to snatch the document.Jamole pulled away, “Okay finne, I will say it. Swan Airline…” he hesitated yet again,, “Swan Airline has earned a networth of $ 10 billion. My account
Jamole and Jade were using the vacuum machine on the floor, when a Rolls Royce screeched into the compound.Jade peeped through the window to see it was Andre, who was alighting from the car now.“It is Andre,” Jade sounded and stole a glance at Jamole who joined him to peep through. I guess the dude is on money now,” he added. “I wonder the number of girls that will be grazing his bed now.”“Why diid you say so? Jamole asked, admiring Andre’s stylish sneakers and gold wristwatch, “Is it because of the Rolls Royce he hires and the cheap gold watch on his wrist.“Far from it,” Jade sounded and snorted. “He just parked out of my house yesterday. He has rented a detached duplex for himself. it is obvious Zhang has started spending on him. Besides, thses days he lives a fast life.”Jamole breathed uneasily. Whenever Zhang was being mentioned his heart would skip. That name had suddenly become a threat to him.“Why would Zhang spend on him when he is yet to assuming office as the CEO.. Bes
Later at night Charles met with Jamole at the coffee café where they brooded over the happenings at the airline.“Boss, my job is being threatened,” Charles mumbled staring around to ensure no one was eavesdropping. “Zhang is pouring hell on us already, especially ever since we achieved the $10 billion networth.”Jamole’s jaw clenched; he expected worse than that to happen, so he prepared his heart on time to face it squarely.He had just one week to wave bye to the entire Swan Group, a company he inhertited as an heir.“What did he do?” Jamole asked, through dimmed, furious eyes.“Boss, Zhang is smart ass. He didn’t hesitate to alternate the staffers upon the announcement of the networth. He has sacked the accountant and employed a Chinese lady as our accountant.”“What?!” Jamole’s face screwed up, “Oh God!” his gaze was raised at the ceiling, “If only I could clench my hands on the A10 document.”Charles continued, “ Boss, that is not even the most maddening one. Do you know that he
Shortly after Charles finished at the café and drove home, he was struck with shock when he saw a fleet of Rolls Royce and lamberghini with a blazing light from the head lamps at his compound.He wouldn’t have summoned the courage to drive further if he hadn’t seen Zhang Meng, who was smoking heavily in his unique, customized lamberghini.“What does he want? And how did he get to know where I live?” Charles nagged arrogantly as he drove into his compound and hesitated to alight.But then Zhang’s security had noticed him. Quietly, one of them scurried down to Charles.“Excuse me, your boss will love to have a word with you…”Charles refuted him arrogantly, “Excuse me. He is not my boss, and will never be. You can call him you boss…”The security tossed his head, “It makes no difference, gentle man. He is the CEO of Swan Group now. So he is your boss. Are you coming or not?”Charles screwed his face at his offender, sucked a tooth and beamed, “After you.”They got to Zhang’s Lamberghi
Susan was worried she had been riding her wheelchair virtually all over the villa contemplating what could be keeping Jamole outside till this moment.The time was past 11PM and Jamole was yet to return home. It was unlike him. Although she had grudges for Jamole yet she couldn’t risk losing her husband whom she fell in love with her at first sight.Once she heard the door open with a creak, she asked the security, “Any news of his whereabout?”“No, boss, the rest of the team are still out there searching for him but the café’s bartender told us he was at the VIP earlier today before he left.”Susan rolled her eyes in frustration and perched at the window only to be welcomed by a sight; Jamole was being dragged out of the Rolls Royce by a team of security.“They have found him,” she mumbled within herself and waited to yell at jamole once he entered.Soon, the security pulled Jamole into the bedroom and made him rest on the sofa.“Greetings boss,” they greeted Susan and explained prec
That same night Roger went clubbing all alone. He was disappointed and furious. He only suspected Susan just played a smart one on him. He wouldn’t believe he wasn’t the heir after the luxurious gifts he showered on her.“My house, my cars, all my super cars are up for collateral and I don’t see myself paying up that loan any time soon. What is she up to? What does she take me for? Santa clause or what? Roger mumbled within himself while the taxi sped on.When he got to the club, he only wanted some privacy, got sober and merry just to fight back frustration.He had just settled down when a well-suited, thick muscled man approached him.“Excuse me. Our boss would love to have a word with you at the VIP,” the man said to him.Rooger screwed up his face at his beholder, stared him from head to toe before he perceived he was a security to a croesus.But a closer look at him now, clarified his doubt and he may not be asking further questions because the badge on the suit of the young man
Andre shook his head, “Not anymore susan.Even the staff around shot a striking glance at Andre the moment he rebuked Susan. This was strage. Indeed, his acquaintance with Zhang had given him so much guts to challenge Susan.Every staff knew Andre as a janitor at Swan Group, who was not even in the board of directors.“What could be giving him the guts to rebuke Susan Pablo?” one of the staff had mumbled.Jamole paused what he was doing and clenched his teeth; he knew it had gotten to this. Power had changed hands and things were going to be tough for them.Susan narrowed her gaze at Andre whose hands were pocketed, face smiling tauntingly.Susan commanded for the second time, “I said leave my presence you dirty janitor!”Roger burst into a mocking laughter and clapped briefly, “Susan Pablo things have changed and times have outmaneuvered you. The Andre you used to know is not the Andre you see now.Andre added, “Please, help me to remind her, this is regenerated Andre,” “Right now I
