“Thank you for the offer,” Eric said, and Michael did not let him finish his statement before he cut in rudely with a laugh.“Yeah, you have to thank me for trying to help your life from this wretched life of yours. I also want you to know that I am doing this for my sister and not you.” Michael said, leaning backward to rest his back, while Eric shook his head slowly, lowering his head for a moment as he thought of what next to say. “I know you are dumbfounded about the offer. Fifty million dollars is not easy money to come by, you know.” Michael said, and Eric gave a nod, still not saying a word. He heaved a sigh, tilting his head away for a moment, as different thoughts ran through his mind. “This is easier than I thought it would be.” He said to himself as he cleared his throat to talk.“The last time I was involved in something like this with you, I ended up in the police cell,” Eric said as he looked at Michael, who leaned forward, giving him a stern look for a moment before he
“What, honey?” Samantha asked with her eyes a bit wide open as different thoughts ran through her mind at that moment.“I said you should guess,” Eric replied, tilting his head away for a moment, bringing it back to focus on his wife, who made a scrunching face as if she were thinking of what next to say.“You got a job offer?” She asked in a low tone as she looked directly into his eyes, waiting anxiously for him to talk, but he shook his head slowly, lowering it momentarily.“That's close. Try again.” He said, and she heaved a heavy sigh, making a scrunching face again as she thought for a moment before scoffing.“I don't know. You know I am bad at guessing.” She said, and Eric inhaled deeply with a smile on his face, clearing his throat for a moment before he talked.“Okay. You got a job offer.” Eric said, and her eyes went wide open as she heard what he had just said. She could not hide the excitement on her face as she leaned forward from the couch.“Are you for real?” She asked,
Michael went back to the house, but unfortunately, he met the house already locked, and his mind suddenly wandered off to Darius. He was extremely furious and frustrated, especially after being humiliated by the person he thought was going to worship him like a god. He heaved a sigh as he leaned against the door of the house, thinking of what next to do, but nothing was coming forth to his head. Eric's words reverberated in his mind and he felt like beating the hell out of him. “I have never seen a poor man so arrogant like this before in my life.” He whispered to himself as he thought of a way to go about the business deal.“There is no way I am letting this opportunity pass me by.” He said to himself as he came off the door and walked away. His phone suddenly buzzed, and he heaved a sigh, hoping that it was not Lydia who was calling. He checked to see that it was his mom and he hissed, placing his phone back into his pocket as he continued to walk. He then suddenly recalled that he
“I have been trying to call you back after the first call, but you did not pick up,” Michael said as he heaved a sigh, sitting down in front of Lydia, who was sipping a drink.“And I am sorry for the outburst over the phone. I promise that was not for you at all.” He added immediately, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. She heaved a sigh as she tilted her head to give him a straight stare for a moment before she cleaned her throat to talk.“Who was it for then?” She asked, and he lowered his head for a moment, trying to think of what to say to her. “Never mind, but just know that I was not talking to you. I ignored the person's call a first and your call came in immediately, so I thought it was the person. That was why I spoke in such a harsh tone.” He said slowly as if he were counting his words as he spoke them.“Back to why I called you here. Did you get his signature?” She asked, and he heaved a heavy sigh of frustration as he did not know how to explain to her that Eric wa
“I had no idea that the house had been seized.” She said, and Michael heaved a sigh, tilting his head away for a moment before he talked.“And I told you to stop talking ill about my husband.” She added quickly as if his words just reverberated in her mind.“Oh, I am going to say anything I wish to say about him. Tell me how a puppet like him would decline a deal of such a whooping amount.” He blasted and Samantha remained quiet for a moment as she did not know what to tell him.“Perhaps you should try to focus on your life and leave us alone. You might just find out that paying greater attention to your life than the life of others allows you enough time to get things together.” She said and took a pause to get a reply, but he was dumbfounded as he could not utter a single word in response to what she had said.“Anyway, I just called to ask if you guys were able to meet his deadline. But I did not know that it had gone to this extent. I hope you get where to stay.” She said and hung
“Wake up Samantha!” Eric said slightly as she slowly tapped on her shoulder. She turned slowly, opening her eyes reluctantly as she glanced at her husband for a moment.“What is the time?” She asked in her sleepy voice as her eyes were still heavy as if she were still feeling sleepy.“It's 7:30 in the morning. You don't want to be late for your interview.” She said, and immediately she heard what he said, her eyes went wide open. She sat up immediately on the bed and her gaze focused on him, thinking deeply about something.“Is it today?” She asked abruptly, and he nodded his head swiftly. She heaved a sigh of disappointment, and she lowered her head, wiping her face with her palm and taking a deep breath. “Now I will have to meet that son of a …” She thought as she reluctantly stood up from the bed and headed to the bathroom. Not long after, she came out of the bathroom and started to get ready. She got dressed picked out a few of her documents and walked to the sitting room to chec
“Look who is here!” Bryan said with a beam of smile on his face as he focused his gaze on Samantha. She looked away for a moment, trying to avoid his eye contact. “Oh come on. Why are you being all dramatic? Do you know what I had to do to get you this job?” He said, and Samantha shot him a wild stare momentarily before she talked.“So it was you?” She said slowly, as if she were counting her words as she said it.“I knew it was no coincidence. I mistakenly showed up here one day for an interview when there was no vacancy and suddenly, there was a vacancy the next day, and here I am.” She added quickly, expressing disgust on her face as she looked at him directly into the eyes.“Like I said, you don't have to be all that dramatic about it.” He said, and Samantha kept mute, not uttering a single word. “Why are you mute suddenly?” He asked after a moment of silence, and she inhaled deeply, tilting her head to look at him before talking.“What do you want me to say?” She asked him, and
Michael woke up, opening his eyes slowly as he tilted his head around. Realizing that he was in a new place, he sat up quickly on the bed and let out a heavy breath as he pressed his fingers against his eyes. “I hate this feeling.” He whispered as he slowly wiped his face with his palm, taking it back to pat his hair gently. He checked for his phone to see the time, and his eyes went wide as he saw that time was far spent. He quickly got out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom to take his bath.As he walked into the bathroom, he could not help but stop and look at his reflection in the mirror. He heaved a sigh as he leaned forward, holding his eyes with his two index fingers and opening it wide enough to see the whole eyeball. He did it for the second eye and scoffed, and he noticed that there were changes to it. “Eric and Darius did this to me.” He whispered as he only took a deep breath, and rushed over to the shower as he remembered that he had eaten much time into the day a
