“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
The alarm went off suddenly, jolting Eric and his wife from sleep. Samantha slowly opened her eyes as she heaved a sigh, rolling to the other side of the bed. Eric slowly stretched his arms to reach the table alarm, stopping the loud noise that came from it. He heaved a sigh as he slowly sat up, tilting his head slowly to look at his wife, who still seemed to be sleepy. He slowly tapped her on the shoulder, and she raised her head slightly to look at him, giving him a pale look for a moment before she talked.“Good morning darling.” She greeted, and he gave a nod, yawning before he talked.“How was your night angel?” He asked, and she nodded, heaving a sigh as she slowly sat up on the bed. Eric got out of the bed. “It was fine, baby. I hope I am not late for work?” She asked with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, and they chuckled. She took a deep breath, as she got up from the bed. “Not actually, I adjusted the alarm yesterday, and it woke us up two hours to the time you will resume w
“I said meet me in my office,” Bryan shouted from afar, jolting her from her reverie, as she quickly tilted her head to look at him. A frown suddenly appeared on her face as she heaved a heavy sigh before walking slowly toward the elevator. Bryan got on the elevator, hoping that she would join him in it, but she deliberately waited for him to go up first before she found her on the third floor to meet him in his office. She heaved a heavy sigh, trying not to frown again before she knocked on the door and waited for a response.“Come in.” She heard him say, and she opened the door immediately, walking slowly towards him. He focused on his computer screen, not minding her presence. “I am here,” Samantha said in a sharp tone bad she was tired of the silence. He heaved a sigh as he spoke, and tilted his head to look at her.“I know you are here already. I am not blind.” He said, and she could not help but scoff lowly, tilting her head away from him. “I came to work here, why is he then t
Eric stood up from the couch as he felt a bit dizzy on the couch. He walked straight to the room and laid down on the bed, heaving a heavy sigh as he went deep in thought. “Ten thousand a week. That's huge and would cover up tracks for a while.” He thought as he took a deep breath. His mind soon wandered off to his company as it had been long since he spoke to Damien, and he needed to know how the company was fairing. He tilted his head to the side of the bed to check his phone but soon realized that he left it in the sitting room.He grunted lowly as he stood up from the bed, walking slowly to the sitting room to grab his phone. He arrived at the sitting room, heaving a sigh as he sat on the couch and started to scroll through his phone. He dialed Damien's contact and not long after, he picked up the call.“Hello, boss.” He said as soon as he picked up the call and Eric took a deep breath before he talked.“Damien, how is it going?” Eric asked as he leaned backward to rest his back o
