The room erupted into a mix of applause and astonishment, with several workers looking at each other in surprise. Sophia, standing among them, froze for a moment, her heart racing although she was aware she was the one to be promoted. She felt dozens of eyes turning to her.Damian extended his hand toward her and said warmly, "Miss Bennett, please step on stage.”Sophia inhaled deeply, smoothing her already pristine office wear as she walked forward. Her heels clicked against the polished floor, and the applause grew louder. As she reached the stage, she turned to face the crowd.Damian gestured for her to stand beside him. "Ladies and gentlemen, this promotion is not just a reward but a reflection of consistent effort and excellence. Congratulations, Miss Bennett."Sophia nodded politely, her lips curving into a gracious smile as she acknowledged the crowd. "Thank you," she said, her voice clear and steadyAs Sophia stood on stage, basking in the applause, the murmurs among the worke

Meanwhile, Sophia was still happily talking to Damian when they saw Laura walk over. As Laura approached, her expression was cold and filled with restrained anger. She locked eyes with Sophia, who returned the look with equal disdain. For a moment, the tension between the two women hung thick in the air.Damian glanced between them and frowned. "Laura, I thought you should be working. What do you want here?"Laura took a deep breath, standing her ground. "Boss Damian, I need to discuss something important with you.”Damian crossed his arms. "What is it?"Laura hesitated, her eyes flicking to Sophia. "With you and me only. Not her."Sophia raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms smugly, while Damian shook his head. "You can say whatever you need to right here. Sophia isn’t going anywhere."Laura clenched her fists at her sides but managed to keep her composure. "Fine," she said, lifting her chin. "I want to talk about the promotion. I believe there’s been a mistake.”Sophia frowned heari

The house wasn’t bare anymore. It was... alive.He wandered into the kitchen, where shiny new utensils were neatly arranged. Foodstuff lined the shelves, and a delicious aroma wafted through the air. Curious, he lifted the lid of a pot on the stove to find perfectly cooked jollof rice. Beside it, there was a separate pot of stew and a tray of meat.“Damn,” he muttered, impressed, before moving on.The fridge had been brought in and stocked with bottled water and an assortment of drinks. Even the wine bar was arranged with a selection of wines, most of which had low alcohol content. He inspected everything—plates, glasses, and small touches that made the space feel like a home.He returned to the living room, glancing at Sierra with a soft smile. She’d done all this. Kneeling beside her, he murmured, “You must be tired,” and gently reached out to touch her cheek.Before his hand made contact, Sierra yawned and stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She blinked, startled by the pair of eyes

When they stepped outside, Sierra glanced at Elijah. “Are you driving?” she asked.Elijah shook his head with a small smile. “Nah, you drive. You know the way to your house, and it’s late.”Sierra nodded and said, “Alright.” She opened the driver’s side door and got in, while Elijah took the passenger seat.Starting the car, Sierra drove out of the estate and onto the main road. Elijah sat quietly, his gaze fixed on the streets and intersections, mentally noting the route to Sierra’s house.Noticing his focused expression, Sierra smirked. “What’s this? Busy memorizing the route? Planning to visit me or what?”Elijah turned his head toward her with a faint grin. “Maybe. Who knows?”They both chuckled, easing into the comfortable rhythm of the moment.Sierra kept her eyes on the road, but she added, “Once you get back home, you should just rest. You’ve had a long day.”Elijah leaned back, watching her profile as she drove. “You’re the one who needs rest more than me. You’ve been running

Sierra’s dad folded his arms and eyed Elijah keenly. “Are you the one Sierra went on a dinner with last night?”Elijah shook his head calmly and said, “It wasn’t me, but I happened to also be at the same location for dinner.”Her dad turned to Sierra, his brow furrowed, then back to Elijah. “So, you only met each other at the dinner?”Elijah shook his head again, opening his mouth to speak, but her dad interjected, “Schoolmate?”“No, sir,” Elijah said, smiling faintly. “We actually know each other, although not that much. She’s someone I’ve been watching on TikTok, actually.”Sierra’s dad narrowed his eyes, studying Elijah closely, his gaze intense. Elijah, however, remained composed, meeting the stare without flinching.“Was she at a hotel or with you last night?” her dad asked abruptly.“Dad!” Sierra cut in, her voice sharp with irritation. “Why so many questions? Aren’t you making him feel uncomfortable?”Her dad sighed, his expression softening slightly. “There’s nothing wrong wit

“Exactly. Then you should also act like the accomplished woman you are. You’re doing well on your own, and we’re supporting you too. Stop saying no.” Her mom extended the car keys again. “Your dad will get you your own car soon—I’ll make sure of it. Take this for now.”Sierra sighed, not wanting to argue further. She reluctantly took the keys and said, “Thank you, Mom.”Her mom nodded with satisfaction. “And don’t forget, we have dinner tonight with Elijah. You invited him.”“I remember,” Sierra said softly, adjusting her bag. Without another word, she turned and walked out, the keys in hand.Meanwhile, in the expansive private estate of the Valencia family, a sleek and refined woman stepped out of the grand residence. Dressed in an office ensemble paired with designer shades and a gleaming Rolex Datejust on her wrist, she exuded authority and elegance. She was Celestine Valencia, the eldest daughter of the powerful Valencia family.As she approached a gleaming black Range Rover parke

Celestine nodded and said, “Yes, I did hear that. Is there any way it can affect us?”Marcellus set his glass down and leaned forward slightly. “I’m a bit worried. Since the Dominion Group is the largest shareholder in our business, the new owner might decide on changes that could affect us significantly. Their control means they have the power to alter policies, demand higher returns, or even change leadership within our company. It puts us in a vulnerable position.”Celestine furrowed her brows. “Who is the new owner then, Dad? Knowing that will help us plan what to do.”Marcellus shook his head, frustration evident on his face. “I don’t know. I’ve tried to find out, but they’ve kept the owner’s identity tightly sealed. All I could uncover was the name of their assistant—nothing more.”Celestine tapped her fingers on the armrest of her chair. “Is there any way you want me to help you with this?”Marcellus sighed and gestured toward her. “When you come back home, we’ll talk more abou

After an hour, Elijah arrived at the Dominion Group for the first time. The sight before him was impressive—a towering, sleek, multi-story building with a modern glass facade.The front area buzzed with activity; employees and visitors moved in and out, and the neatly paved driveway was lined with high-end cars in the parking lot. Elijah stepped out of his car and took in the grand sight of the Dominion Group's headquarters. “Damn,” he muttered under his breath, shaking his head in amazement. The sleek, towering structure and the buzz of activity around it made the magnitude of his ownership hit differently.“As young as I am, I own this?” he thought, a smirk tugging at his lips. “No wonder—10 billion dollars. It’s worth every cent.”He got back into his car and slowly drove toward the parking area. A security guard approached, signaling him to lower the window. “Sir, please park in the reserved area over there,” the guard instructed politely, pointing toward an exclusive section nea

Elijah gave a slow nod. "I understand, but I'm with someone who's sitting there."The security shook his head. "No, please. It doesn’t work that way. You can’t sit there just because you’re with someone who has access."Just then, a familiar voice cut through the air."What’s going on? Elijah?"A loud, amused laugh followed.Elijah turned and saw Daniel Everhart, a smirk plastered across his face.Daniel walked closer, still smirking, and asked, "What’s going on?"The security guard, noticing that Daniel was from the VIP section, straightened up slightly and replied, "He was trying to enter the VIP section, but he doesn’t have access.”Daniel laughed and then began to mock Elijah.Elijah remained expressionless as Daniel laughed mockingly."You think getting a nice haircut and a suit can give you access to VIP?" Daniel scoffed, shaking his head. "Are you important enough to sit among us? Do you even know the kind of guests in there? My dad, the eldest madam of the Valencia family, and

As the convoy smoothly entered the venue, Sierra reached into her purse and pulled out her invitation card, handing it over to Elijah."Please hand it over to them," she said with a small smile. Although she could have gone inside without presenting an invitation, she felt it was only right to give it to them.Elijah saw it as a perfect opportunity to get Felix inside without any hassle. He nodded and stepped out of the car, holding two invitation cards in his hand as Celestine’s cars continued their way in.Walking towards the security checkpoint, Elijah handed over the invitation cards. "Ms. Valencia asked me to give these to you," he said calmly.The security guards exchanged glances before nodding respectfully. His composed presence and association with Celestine made them assume he was part of the Valencia family. Without hesitation, they allowed him through.Not far behind, another car carefully approached. It was Felix, driving Elijah’s car as planned. Unlike the luxury vehicle

He quickly answered the call, and Celestine's voice came through.“Elijah, sorry for the late call. Had a meeting. Are you ready for the event?”Elijah nodded, even though she couldn’t see him. “Yes, been waiting for your call.”“Where do you stay so we can pick you up?”Elijah shook his head slightly. “No, no. Tell me where I should meet you guys.”Celestine gave him the location, and Elijah replied, “Alright.” He then ended the call and stepped out of his room.The moment he got out, he spotted Felix standing near the door, already dressed and waiting. His suit was perfectly in place, and he carried himself with newfound confidence.“You look good, brother,” Felix said with a nod of approval.Elijah thanked him with a small smirk. “You too.” Then, after a brief pause, he asked, “Can you drive?”Felix nodded. “Yes, very well.”Elijah gave a short nod. “Good. Here’s what will happen. I’m meeting Ms. Valencia, and I can’t take you along right now. So we’ll drive to the location she men

Betty leaned toward Sierra, whispering, “This is next-level treatment.”Sierra just smiled, glancing out the tinted window as the city lights passed by.Sierra took out her phone, casually checking her post, but the moment she saw the numbers, her eyes widened in shock."Seventy thousand likes already?!" she muttered, scrolling down. The post had exploded with engagement—over fourteen thousand comments in just a short time.She clicked on the comments, skimming through them."Omg, you’re so beautiful, Sierra!""See you at the event, queen!""On my way right now! Can’t wait to see you perform!”"That dress is FIRE! You’re gonna shut it down tonight."Betty, noticing Sierra’s expression, leaned over. "What’s up?"Sierra turned the screen toward her. "Look at this! I didn’t think it would blow up this fast."Betty grinned. "Girl, you're a star. The whole city is waiting for you tonight!"Sierra exhaled, feeling the weight of the excitement settle in. Tonight was going to be huge.By 7:30

At the Dominion Group headquarters, the atmosphere was abuzz with excited chatter about the upcoming party. In one corner of the bustling office, groups of workers gathered around water coolers and in break rooms, discussing every detail of the event."I heard all the big shots have been invited," one worker said, lowering his voice conspiratorially. "Even the top executives are expected to show up, not to mention some major names from the business world."Another employee nodded vigorously. "Yeah, the tickets sold out within minutes. I even heard that a hundred extra invitations were given to our staff and key partners. It's going to be huge!”A third worker, adjusting his tie, added, "I heard the Valencia family is involved, too. Their sponsorship is massive—almost like a stamp of approval for the whole event."The excitement was palpable, and as more details were exchanged—about the luxurious venue, the celebrity performances, and the charity angle for the orphanage donation—the wo

"I promise I'm not selling," Betty said, raising her hands in defense. "I'm giving them to that lady and her boyfriend who sit behind us in class. They asked me for them."Sierra nodded. "Okay, you can take them."Betty smiled. "Thank you."As she tucked the invitations into her bag, Sierra leaned back with a thoughtful expression. "After the event, I'm planning to buy a car.”"A car?" Betty's interest piqued instantly.Sierra nodded. "Yeah. I talked to Elijah about it. I was supposed to go with him to check out options, but now... our conversation has kind of limited. I think he's still mad at me."Betty sighed. "Give him a bit of time. Maybe tomorrow at the event, you could talk to him or something."Sierra nodded. "I will."And just like that, time moved forward, and soon, the next day arrived—the day of the grand event.After waking up, Elijah checked his time before grabbing his phone, scrolling through it for a while. Eventually, he got down from his bed and headed to the washro

"Brother… this is your car?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper.Elijah nodded casually. "Yes. Get in.”Felix swallowed hard, staring at the expensive SUV once more before finally opening the door and slipping inside. The interior was just as breathtaking—plush leather seats, a state-of-the-art dashboard, and the scent of pure luxury.Elijah got into the driver’s seat, adjusting himself as Felix sat stiffly beside him."Brother, I swear if you carry me along and help me out, I'll be loyal forever and ever," Felix said, his voice filled with raw sincerity. "I promise."Elijah smirked, glancing at him. "We'll see."Then, as he started the engine, he asked, "Have you eaten anything?"Felix shook his head quickly. "No, I'm even hungry.”After leaving the store, Elijah drove the car to a high-end restaurant. Once they arrived, he parked the vehicle and led Felix inside. As they settled into a comfortable booth, Elijah turned to his friend and asked, “What are you going to eat today?”Fel

Felix stared at Elijah in disbelief. "You'll help me?" His voice was barely above a whisper, as if he couldn’t believe his own ears.Elijah nodded. "So far as you'll be loyal."Felix’s eyes lit up instantly. "Ah! I swear, I'll be loyal to you. If you say stand, I'll stand. If you say sit, I'll sit. Even if you ask me to kill, I'll kill."Elijah chuckled, shaking his head. "No killing. Just loyalty." He gave Felix a once-over and sighed. "You know what? Your clothes aren’t looking good. Pick some nice ones, then let’s get some shoes too. After that, I’ll take you to my place so you can shower.”Felix’s face broke into a huge grin, his hands clasped together as he nodded. "Thank you, brother. Thank you so much!"Elijah gave a small nod, then asked, "Where do you stay?"At that, Felix scratched his head awkwardly, avoiding Elijah’s gaze. "I don’t really have a place… I just sleep in uncompleted buildings, wherever I can find."Elijah's expression shifted. He couldn't help but feel a twin

After a moment of thoughtful silence, Elijah continued, “Convey the message about the orphanage giveaway to the attendees and ask for their support. Even if they contribute little by little until it exceeds a million dollars, that will be good. I’ll personally add a million dollars to ensure that the donation is expanded even further.”Isla nodded, making notes on her tablet. “Understood, Master. I’ll draft the message and ensure that our communications highlight both the charity aspect and the need for community support.”Elijah leaned back, his gaze steady. “Good. Let’s make this event not only a success for our company but also a significant contribution to those in need.”Isla replied, “Yes, Master. I’ll see to it immediately.”Meanwhile, at Chris' place,he leaned back in his chair as he flicked the ashes from his cigarette, the smoke swirling lazily in the air as his eyes studied the invitation card Sierra had sent him. He wasn’t one for sentiment, but this one had his attention.
