"What?" Hitler's exclamation pierced through the phone. "How could you have failed in carrying out such an easy task?" "I'm sorry boss," Jake, one of Hitler's most trusted henchmen, who usually helps him carry out his dirty jobs apologized. "I was almost disconnecting her from the life savers when a nosy nurse suddenly showed up from no where.""You imbecile!" Hitler retorted angrily. "With your failed attempt, the police will begin to investigate deeper into the whole situation and that could put all of us in trouble.""Sorry boss. I promise to take care of this mess." Jake assured him."You'd better do that," Hitler replied sharply before dropping the call."What did your henchman say?" Lieutenant George asked Hitler in the presence of Mr. Simmons, as all three of them have become a team fighting against Drake."He couldn't get the job done," Hitler replied, the weight of the disappointment evident in the tone of his voice."We already know that. You said so while the call was goin
Mr and Mrs. Wilmont had gone through the profile of all the ladies who had applied to be Michelle's nanny but none of them seemed to meet up with their preferred requirements. They needed someone who was smart, intelligent and has a certified recommendation from any of the social services or a well renewed orphanage.They had just finished speaking with the last applicant on their lists when Fletcher's phone buzzed with an incoming call from a strange number. Reluctantly, he answered the phone, refusing to speak first and waiting for the caller to introduce him or herself."Hello, Mr. Wilmont," A deep masculine voice greeted from the other end."Hello, may I know who I am speaking with?" Fletcher inquired, racking his brain to find out if he could recognise the voice of the caller, but nothing was coming to his head."I'm calling from the social service and childcare agency and I saw the advert you dropped with the media houses that you're in need of someone who'd help you take care o
There was a rising tension which rose within the office as some of the workers were beginning to question Drake's efficiency in carrying out his duty as the assistant manager of the company, owing to the fact that the sales department which was directly under him had been experiencing downtime since he assumed office.Rumours also had been going about that Drake was the grandson of Walter Sullivan, raising more questions from the employees. Even if they didn't want to believe the rumours, the fact that it was Walter Sullivan himself who had recommended him for that position made the rumours almost appear to be true to them.An emergency board meeting was called with Drake was also requested to be in attendance, so he could say something for himself about the rumours that was spreading all over the office.Mr. Simeon had called for the meeting without prior notification to Walter. Within just a month of Drake being in the company, he was already feeling threatened by him.First, he fel
"Ring. Ring. Ring." The door bell rang."That must be the lady from the social service and childcare agency" Rachel said, turning to face Fletcher who was engrossed in his newspaper.The news on the Simmons case was getting tougher as the affected individuals from the effect of the harmful chemicals have decided to take them to court. He couldn't help but wonder who was behind them."Go ahead and see for yourself," Fletcher, not wanting to be disturbed. Rachel quickly stood up from her seat and went to see who was at the door. Opening the door, she was greeted by Lucy, looking radiantly beautiful."Hello ma'am," Lucy greeted with a beautiful smile spreading across her lips. "This must be the Wilmont's apartment?" She added."Oh yes. This is the Wilmont's apartment, and who are you?" Rachel asked."I'm Lucy from the social service and childcare agency. I was sent from the agency after we got the information that you needed a nanny for your granddaughter." Lucy replied, her beautiful s
Drake was surprised when he learnt that Lucy had resigned from her job. He hadn't expected it, making him wonder what could be the reason for her resignation.He could be only help but imagine how Mr. Simeon might be feeling at that moment. If there was something he didn't understand with Mr. Simeon, was why he went about claiming that Lucy was his girlfriend, when over and over again, Lucy had publicly denied it.The meeting with the other members of the board had been adjourned as a member was later noticed to be absent, and according to the company's policies, no board or executive election was allowed to be conducted if all executive and board members except Walter Sullivan was not present.Drake had decided to get back at Donald for trying to outsmart him and spreading the rumour of him being grandfather Walter's grandson. Even if he didn't have any evidence to support his claims, he was very sure that Donald was behind the whole spread of the rumour.Drake was still busy attendi
Lucy resumed work with the Wilmonts as Michelle's nanny, mindful of what to expect from the little girl. She didn't know why, but she had already felt attached to her during their first meeting."Ensure she takes her lunch early enough before her physiotherapist comes. Don't be hard on her as she's still trying to accept the fact that she'll never be able to walk again." Rachel instructed Lucy as she prepared to leave.She had been away from the office for quite some time due to the fact that they were yet to get a nanny for Michelle, and now that they got one, she felt it was time to get back to work and see for herself just how things were going in her absence.She just hoped a lot had not really changed owing to the fact that she had not really been much physically involved in the affairs of the company since the accident that involved Summer and the Simmons' family."Also, make sure she doesn't stay in her room, and lastly, incase her father comes, don't grant him access to her."
Drake stepped out of the company's building, his mind, a whirlwind of thoughts. The previous night had been one hell of a night for him. He had some how found leads to what had happened to his parents on the night that they were killed.There was a secret mafia organisation he had stumbled upon called the IRIS. It was one of the biggest mafia organisation in the country and they operated internationally. During his research the previous night, in trying to find out how ugly things were likely to get for him when he finally accepts to take over from his grandfather, he had stumbled upon the name IRIS. He had tried finding out more about the mafia organisation but nothing else had been said about it. Not who the leader was nor what they were actually involved in as their major underground activity.The only thing he had found out was the death of a certain couple that was linked to them eight years ago. Even if the names of the couple had not been mentioned, Drake had the strong feelin
The tension in the room was palpable as Drake walked in. He noticed the unfamiliar faces that looked at him while he entered to take his seat, causing him to force out a smile as he greeted them, "Good afternoon.""Good afternoon, Drake," the gentlemen who were all seated with grandfather Walter greeted him, almost in union.Drake, for the first ten seconds, while trying to settle in his seat, tried to recollect any of the faces, wondering where he had seen them before, but nothing was coming to him. He decided to just stop trying and to allow grandfather Walter begin the introduction.."Welcome Drake," Grandfather Walter said, his old and slightly wrinkled face, adorned with a smile, a grim reminder to Drake that life is dynamic and that a day too will come, when he'd also look like his grandfather."Thank you, grandfather," Drake replied with a gentle nod."Alright, gentlemen," Grandfather Walter began. "This is my grandson, Drake Sullivan, and the heir to all that is under the Sul
