“Have you met with the person who seized your house? At least he should allow you to get some of your stuff before he seals it totally.” Emily said as she drove slowly. He heaved a sigh, tilting his head to look at her while she concentrated on the road.“Yes. Yes, I was actually coming from his office when you saw me earlier.” Michael said, tilting his head to look at the road. “What did he say?” Emily asked, eager to know what went on between them.“He did not listen to me. He had me bundled out of his company. I stood there embarrassed and only wished that I could turn back the hands of time.” Michael said slowly as if he were counting his words as he spoke them. “That's cruel of him. He should not have done that.” She said, expressing how disappointed she was at what she had heard. “It's fine,” Michael said, heaving a sigh as he did not want to talk about it anymore.“Currently there is no vacancy in our company. But I will keep looking around to see if there is any job for you
Samantha knocked on the door to Bryan's office, waiting for him to respond, and he did almost immediately.“Come in!” He yelled, and she went in, walking slowly to where he was seated. “I don't know what your intentions are, but I assure you that, I will work here for six months and I won't have anything to do with you.” She said, and he slowly tilted his head to look at her.“First of all, that is not the ideal way to talk to your boss.” He said taken a break, and Samantha slowly frowned as she tilted her head away. “Secondly, I am happy to know that you have finally accepted to work here. And trust me, baby, six months is enough to get what I want from you.” He said, giving her a lustful look, and she gave him a fierce look.“You are so delusional.” She said, and he began to chuckle, lowering his head slowly as he shook his head.“We will see who is. Welcome to the Connor Empire.” He said again, clapping his hands slowly. “What should I call you?” He said, raising his eyebrow as
Michael sat on the edge of his bed, in deep thought about how his life had turned out within the last few days. He heaved a sigh as he, slowly, leaned backward to rest his back on the pillow. “How did it get to this?” He wondered as he took a deep breath, wiping his face slowly with his palm. “I will deal with Eric for causing me so much pain and frustration.” He whispered to himself as he exhaled rapidly. His mind soon drifted off for a moment as his mind wandered off to his mom. His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly realized that he had not spoken to her for days.He tilted his head slowly, looking at the other side of the bed as he hoped to find his phone, but his phone was not in sight. He stood up quickly, tilting his head rapidly to the other side of the bed to check properly, and then his gaze caught the phone lying on the table close to the wall of the room. He exhaled, heavily, as he stood up to get his phone and intended to call his mom. He dialed the contact and waited an
Lydia left the sitting room to her room immediately, and Michael got the hint that she did not want him to listen to her conversation over the phone. He heaved a sigh as he slowly walked away from the sitting room and headed back to his room. As soon as he got into his room, he exhaled heavily, covering his face with his both palms as he leaned backward against the door. Different thoughts ran through his mind at that time, and he remembered that he had an unfinished discussion with his Mom. He walked swiftly to the bed to grab his phone, and he met some missed calls on his phone.“Why is this son of a bitch calling?” He asked himself as he scoffed, looking away from his phone for a moment. He contemplated whether to return the call or not. He heaved a sigh as he sat on the edge of the bed. “Does he know about the casual work? He should not rub off his bad luck on me.” He thought as he leaned backward to rest his back on the pillow. At this point, he had made up his mind not to return
“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
Their gaze fell on Samantha as she walked rapidly with a smile on her face as she walked towards Eric, who looked away from her as he wanted to act like he was angry at her. She chuckled lightly, and she sat on the couch beside him, heaving a sigh before she talked.“I am so sorry for getting you worried. When I just received the call from him, and he asked me to come over, I didn't know what to do. I had wanted to tell you, but he had instructed me not to tell you.” She explained and at this point, Lydia was already smiling.“You got us all worried. But I am glad that you are alright.” Lydia talked even before Eric could talk, and they both tilted their heads to look at her. Samantha smiled slightly before she inhaled deeply, clearing her throat to talk.“I honestly did not mean to put you all through such position. I apologize for that.” Samantha pleaded, and then there was a moment of silence before Eric cleared his throat slightly, tilting his head to see the expression on Samanth
“It's Emily.” Her voice echoed and Eric quickly drew his face into a puzzle as he looked at her before she picked up the call and placed it over her ear to talk to Emily. Eric looked away from her as different thoughts ran through his mind. Just then, he tilted his head back to look at Lydia, who was still talking to Emily over the phone.“Where are you now?” Lydia asked and then tilted her head to look at Eric, who was looking directly into her eyes for a moment before she brought the phone off her ear to place the call on the loudspeaker.“On my way out of my house, I met someone in front of my doorstep. He is not letting me leave the house. Have you arrived at Master Eric's house?” She talked rapidly, and Eric slowly took his gaze away as different thoughts ran through his mind. “What was she talking about?” He asked himself.“Yes. I got here not long ago. I thought that I was going to meet you here, but the reverse was the case. Who is that person that is holding you from reaching
“That's very true. But at least, I should have gotten a hint that she was going out. Even if she did not tell me that she was coming to your place. Do you know how worried I was?” Eric asked in a sharp tone as he heaved a heavy sigh of relief.“Well, sorry you had to go through all those worries. I am done actually with her, and she will be back to your pace very soon.” He said, and Eric inhaled deeply as he looked to expel his anger and talk in a calm tone. He stood up from the bed and just as he was about to talk, a knock came in on the door, and he turned around to walk to the door.“Okay. I will be waiting for her.” He heaved a sigh as he walked to the door to get the door. As he tilted the doorknob, his gaze fell on the maid who brought his food to him, and he opened the door widely for her to bring the food inside the room. “Thank you. Is this for me and my wife?” He could not help but ask as he looked at her in the eyes, and she looked away before she nodded her head slowly be
Eric woke up to the buzzing sound of his phone, and he opened his eyes slowly to check who was calling him. As he looked around for his phone, he noticed that Samantha was not in bed with him, and it made him draw a puzzled face as he wondered where she could be at that point in time. Not minding that his phone was ringing, he sat up slowly on the bed and rubbed his palm over his face as he thought deeply, about where she might be. A thought popped up in his mind and he tilted his head immediately to look at the bathroom, but there was no sign at all that she was there.“Samantha!” He yelled out and waited to see if he would get any response, but he did not get any. He gradually came off the bed, heaving a sigh as he tossed his phone on the bed before walking towards the bathroom to check.“Samantha!” He called lowly as he walked inside the bathroom and looked everywhere but could not find her. “Where is she?” He asked himself as he quickly walked out of the room and headed out to lo
“How did you know that?” Samantha asked with a frown on her face, but Eric kept tapping her gently to maintain calmness so that Rachael could go on with what she was saying.“Someone told me about it. I would not say the name of the person for some reason.” She raised her head to look at her daughter and then at Eric for a moment before she inhaled deeply to talk.“I know, you probably don't ever want to have anything to do with me, but I just want you to let me clear my mind and make things right.” “There is nothing to make a right, mom. You already made your mark and you stood by it.” Samantha chipped in immediately, tilting her head to look at her husband for a moment before she exhaled deeply.“Sam, I told you to calm down. Just let her finish what she has to say.” Eric tilted his head back to look at Rachael before he talked to her.“You can go on.” Eric's voice echoed, and Rachael made a sign to thank him. She inhaled deeply before she continued to talk.“As I was saying, I kno
Samantha brought the phone off her ear quickly to end the call. Her heart began to beat erratically as she did not know what was going on with her mother. She took in several deep breaths to calm her racing heart, but it only got was. She constantly checked her phone to see if her mother had sent the address to her, but she had not sent it. Eric noticed how perturbed she was, and then he moved closer to her to talk to her.“You should be calm. She is going to be alright.” He said in a low tone, and she immediately tilted her head to look at Eric who had a pale look on his face.“She still had not sent her address. I don't think there is anyone with her right now.” She could not but talk back at him, looking away immediately after she finished talking.“I know. But I want you to be calm. You should not harm yourself before she sends her address….” Just as he was trying to talk to her, her phone suddenly chimed, and she quickly brought it to look at what came in. She noticed that Rachae
The dinner ended faster than they all thought, and they walked back to the sitting room. Lydia and Harvey sat by themselves, and so did Emily and Damien. Eric and Samantha also took their seat on the same side of the chair.“Now to the next part of the night's activities,” Eric said in a low tone, and they all tilted their heads to look at him as he looked at Samantha for a moment and thought of what next to say. He then tilted his head back to look at them before he talked.“We wanted to play some couple's game. So since there are three couples now, it's the best.” Eric said slowly as his eyes darted between Lydia and Emily. They looked at themselves, and then Emily cleared her throat to talk.“What games are we playing?” She asked, and they all looked at her for a moment before Samantha talked.“The one that couples play. Good thing you have a partner.” “But, I thought we all agreed that it was just to eat dinner. When did we say we were going to play some games?” Emily spoke in su
It was finally dinner time, Eric and Samantha were in the room, talking about how their day went and what they were going to do at the dinner.“Perhaps after, eating we will play a couple of games and then have fun. What do you think?” Eric looked away as he thought about what Samantha had just said. He thought for a while before he inhaled deeply, bringing his gaze back to look at her.“That's a nice idea. Since we are going to be out of town for the next couple of months. It's only right if we do some of those games and have fun.” Eric explained slowly as if he were counting his words as he spoke them. Not long after, they heard the sound of a car, driving into the mansion.“They are here!” Eric said rapidly, and she nodded her head slightly as she walked behind him towards the door. They arrived in the dining room and just then, the food was getting ready. The door suddenly opened, and Lydia was the first person to enter the room alongside a strange man. Eric's eyebrow furrowed as
The meeting finally came to a close after much rancor and disagreements. Eric inhaled deeply as he watched his last auntie leave the room. “Why were they pissed that I was announced as the head of the family?” He thought for a moment before he exhaled rapidly, tilting his head to look at his grandfather, who also seemed to be lost in thought.“Why are they all angry?” He asked in a low tone, jolting Sir Chadwick from his reverie as he tilted his head to look at Eric before he inhaled deeply to talk.“Pay no attention to them. You are now the head of the family. You can choose to do whatever you want to do with them.” Sir Chadwick grunted lightly as he stood up from the chair and walked slowly away from the sitting room but halted his steps, turning around to look at Eric as if he remembered to say something.“You can find your back to the mansion. I will be leaving for France tomorrow. My vacation has started and I don't want any disturbance. Take good care of yourself and of course,
