“Good morning sunshine,” Samantha said in a groggy voice as she woke up to meet her husband's gaze on her. She heaved a sigh, rolling to the other side of the bed, expecting to hear a reply from her husband, but she did. It caused a spark within her, and she turned abruptly, opening her eyes widely as she tilted her head to look at him while he only smiled at her. “What?” She asked slowly as she smiled back at him, and he chuckled, taking his gaze for a moment before bringing it back to look at her.“Nothing. I am just admiring my wife. Is anything wrong in doing that?” He asked as he moved closer to her to give her a kiss on the forehead while she closed her eyes, inhaling deeply. “No! Not at all. But stop the flattering, this early morning. It's too early for flattering.” She said and chuckled as she stretched out her arms. “If I don't flatter you, who will?” He said, and Samantha chuckled softly, tilting her head to look at him with a smile on her face before she talked.“That's
“Why are you calling me by this time of the morning?” Samantha asked immediately she picked up the call and placed the phone over her ears.“Is that a nice way of starting off the day with your boss? Especially when it's your first payday?” He asked, and Samantha scoffed, tilting her head away as she thought of what to say.“This is not work hours, and you are not the boss of when we are not in working hours.” She stated categorically and Bryan could not help but chuckle as he was not expecting her to say that to him.“I will see you in the office, and then I will show you how an employee should behave to their boss.” He said and chuckled. “You would do nothing. And if you will excuse me, I want to get dressed and eat breakfast before coming to work.” She said and took the phone away from her ear to end the call. She stood there momentarily, thinking about what had just happened. She was unable to wrap her head around why Bryan would decide to call her in the early hours of the morni
Eric tilted his head around the dining table, trying to see if he brought his phone to the dining with him, but he recalled that he had left it in the room before coming to prepare breakfast earlier.“I need to call Damien.” He reiterated as he stood up abruptly from the chair and walked swiftly to the room. He stood there momentarily, tilting his head to look for his phone on the bed before going over to toss the pillow and search the bed. He heaved a sigh as he placed both hands on his waist as he tried to think of where his phone was.Suddenly, his phone began to buzz, and he took a deep breath, tilting his head in the direction where the sound of the buzzing phone was coming from.“Oh, there you are.” He whispered as he moved swiftly to where his phone was. He checked who was calling, and he hissed, heaving a sigh of frustration as he was not expecting to see her call.“I thought I told you not to call me. I will always do the calling. If at all you want to speak with me. Send me
“Talk to me, Damien. What is going on?” Eric asked, looking curious and worried at the same time. Damien heaved a sigh, chuckling as he noticed how worried Eric was about what he had said.“Relax boss. Everything is okay.” He said, and Eric heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he looked away momentarily before returning his gaze to focus on Damien. He cleared his throat slightly before he talked.“You are still not saying anything about the question I asked,” Eric said sharply, and Damien quit scrolling on the tablet, tilting his head to give him a brief look before talking.“The immediate past head of the company is indebted to your father. He was unable to pay up the debt until he was succeeded by the current person.” He explained but Eric did not seem to understand what he had said as she made a scrunching face. “Can you shed more light on that please?” Eric said slowly as he leaned forward, trying to focus his attention on Damien.“He was owing your dad to the tune of ten billion dol
“Good morning!” Eric greeted, extending his hand for a handshake as his gaze fell on Bryan, whose hands were tucked into his pocket. Samantha's eyes darted between Bryan and Eric, who looked at each other fiercely in the eyes as there was a moment of silence there.“Samantha, what are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be in the office working?” Bryan asked as he tilted his head to look at her, while she gasped, caught with fear as she thought of how to calm the situation down. Eric felt completely ignored as his hand was left hanging without a handshake. He slowly, shook his head away, chuckling slightly while he stylishly withdrew his hand.“Who is this lousy man?” Eric asked as he tilted his face to look at Samantha, who had fear written all over her face.“Who the hell are you and why would you call me lousy? Need I remind you that you are in my facility and I have the right to throw you out?” Bryan stated, taking a step forward, as he did not give Samantha a chance to answer
The door suddenly opened, revealing a man dressed in a black silky suit as he walked in swiftly with his hands shoved inside his pocket. From the way he dressed, he was the type of person that commanded respect and attention. Samantha's eyes fell on him as he walked straight to the desk of Bryan. She only watched as he cleared his throat to talk, while Bryan stood up from his seat to talk to him.“Hey, brother!” He said in a low tone as he gazed at him directly in the eyes.“Bryan!” He said in a low tone as he sat down on the chair, heaving a heavy sigh. “What could be so important that had brought you to my office? You should have called me.” Bryan said as he sat on his chair, waiting for his brother to talk.“I wanted us to have a face-to-face talk, and it's about the upcoming house party.” He said, and Samantha leaned forward, trying not to pay attention to what they were saying. She mistakenly dropped her phone on the floor while trying to pick it up from the desk, and the sound
Michael woke up abruptly to the sound of his buzzing phone. He tilted his head from side to side, trying to get acquainted with the environment as he slowly raised his head up. The call ended before he could reach for his phone, but not long after, the call came in again, and he reached for his phone to see who was calling him. “Why is mom calling me?” He asked himself as different thoughts ran through his mind. He checked the time to see that it was still in the early hours of the morning. He picked up the call and placed the phone over his ear to talk.“Good morning Mom!” He greeted in a groggy voice, and Rachael did not waste any time to notice that he was just waking up from sleep.“Were you still sleeping?” She asked, and Michael inhaled deeply, taking a few seconds before he talked. “Why did you call me at this early hour of the morning?” He asked, not answering her earlier question.“I realized that it had been a long that I talked to you, that was why I called.” She stated an
“Yes! And I will say it again if I have to.” Eric said and Michael cut in immediately, making him keep quiet.“You don't have any say in this. This is between family, and you are not part of the family. She keeps trying to add you forcefully.” Michael said, and Eric only chuckled dryly, lowering his head and shaking it slowly.“You see, that is the problem. You are repeatedly making the same mistakes, and you fail to learn from them.” Eric said, trying to sound serious, but Michael was not having it as he swiftly tilted his head to look at the waiter.“What is holding my orders?” He asked harshly as he felt that time was already far spent.“Eric, I don't have time for all these heedless and unyielding talks. I already woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and I will be most grateful if you don't make me worse.” He said, not looking at Eric's face.“If only you did not let your ego outgrow you, you probably would still have your house in your possession, and you don't have to run erran
