Everyone turned around to see a beautiful looking woman walked all the way from a distance. It didn't take up to five minutes before she got to where they all stood. Alec's eyes dimmed when he realized that it was Sophia. Looking at her closely, he could see how dolled up she was. What was her motive? Alec thought. “Hi, Mr JJ. Do you remember my face?” Sophia asked and smiled shortly. Of course the owner recognized her. Sophia turned out to be his brother's lover and so, they had a deal. The deal was to get intimate with her since all he wanted was her and in return, she would get the store. But now, he was trying to boycott her. Who does that? She thought and looked beside her only to see Alec. Perfect timing! If she could not also have the hotel she badly wanted to have, no problem. She could also have what he desired. Did she know that Alec would be there? No! “What are you doing here?” The owner of the store asked in anger. In fact, the most important reason was not be
“What are you doing?” Alec asked, feigning ignorance. Of course, he already knew what the manager was up to. Instantly, the man smiled and looked at Alec nervously. “Mr Alec, I did not know that you followed me up to this place actually. I was trying to be fast about the whole thing because I did not want to delay you and …”“Who prepares the resignation letter?” Alec asked instead. “It's me, sir” he said and smiled as he hurriedly switched off the computer. “But what if you are not there? Who does it instead?” Alec asked again. “My assistant manager. Louis” he replied. “Is he around?” “Yes, boss”“Take me to him and inform everyone that I want to have a brief meeting with you all.” The manager, thinking that he had already probably changed his mind about him, hurriedly rushed out of the office and gathered up all of the staff. "Our new owner is around. You all should behave yourselves because it seems like he is more strict than our previous boss" The manager had told the w
“Of course I do, sir” Debby said and smiled while she secretly looked at the other Debby with contempt. She has come to stay and not this bitch!“Well, step back because she is the new manager” Alec said. Everyone looked at Debby, seeing nothing but threat. It seemed like they were really going to have tough time. Debby, Alec's worker who did not know that the day that she would be promoted from being an ordinary hotel worker to a manager walked forward and smiled.“Good day, everyone. I'm pleased to meet with you all and also, I will be willing to work with you all. Hope we can be the best among other stores!” She said and smiled but everyone scuffed. Alec cared less about their opinion. After all, it wasn't their money he used to purchase the store. “When you see Debby, you see me and so, anything you want to talk to me about, please talk to her.” He said and turned to Debby. “It's evening already, please have all of the files of this store transferred to me virtually by to
“Mr Alec, reporters are outside waiting for an interview. The policemen are around asking for you. Don't you think this is getting out of hand?” Harrison asked in fear. At the moment, customers seemed to have drastically reduced because of the fear of being around a killer. It affected the workers who seemed to have a bit of fear within them but they still put on a fake smile. “Have you found out who started the rumors?” Alec asked even though it seemed like everything would favour him. Now, he would be popular because after everything, people would see him as a wealthy magnate!“One woman who preferred to be anonymous but I finally found out her name” Harrison replied. Of all things, he was sure that his boss was not a killer. He saw through people. *Which is?”*Just Sophia but I couldn't find out her surname. Apparently, the former owner of the store is missing and ..”Sophia? She wouldn't stop being crazy? What was so special in moving on? Wasn't she the one who rejected him?
Alec instead switched on his phone to check out what was going on in the store. He had made sure to have this connected the previous day after everyone at work at left. He got to see what Debby that Debby was actually busy filling out some documents while she was working on her phone. Suddenly, the door of her office was knocked on twice. Debby looked up and released a sigh as she checked the time. She did not realize that the time was far spent. All because the old manager has done a lot of atrocities just to embezzle money, it became a toll for her. In fact, it was a double work for her. “Please come in” She said, exhausted. “Miss Debby, how are you feeling?” Two mischievous workers asked at the same time. She looked at them suspiciously. “What do you want?” She asked. “Relax! We haven't come here to fight you. You see, before you came, we all have ways of doing this here. In fact, some things were boycott just for us.”“Okay, so, why are you telling me this?” Debby asked.
"Oh me? I just got a nice job here while my girlfriend is flirting out with a big boss just because she wants to attain the position she so much desired!” Her boyfriend said. “I am not a girlfriend of a crazy man. You think I would dense enough to still be with a man like you?" Debby asked and scuffed. Definitely over her dead body!“Watch your tone, young lady. I may be forced to do what I want to do right here with you since your little husband isn't around to save you!” He said. Her heart thumped hard in fear. She knew that she was definitely in trouble and seemingly true, Alec wasn't around. “How did you know that I work here?” She managed to ask. “A lot of diggings about you proved that you would be here. Now, listen to me. If you love your life so much, desist from that crazy man or else, I will kill you!” He threatened. Debby looked at him for a while. She was scared but then, mustered the courage to lock eyes with him. “What are you?”“The man who can kill you! You be
“Mr Alec, we would appreciate it if you let us know where you were during the time of the incident” Tim Welsh said as he brought out his notepad. “I was at the man's store” Alec said. The policemen looked at each other and Alec knew that it probably confirmed their doubts that they killed him. “Why were you there? I am sure that you probably know that you are being suspected as the killer of the owner of that store, right?” Tim asked again. “Of course I do but don't you think that they are just assumptions since they have got nothing oh me?” Alec asked. “Yes, I know but you do know that you need to clear your name. I'm sorry but I have to hold you hostage at the cell”“On what grounds?” Alec asked. “Mr Baldwin, do you also realize that people have been doing some diggings and they also probably think that you stole money to buy the hotel, did dirty things all around also.”“Stole money? Mr Tim, I believe that you haven't been doing your work because if you have, you need to pr
“Debby is in danger” Alec sprang up as he walked out of the office and rushed towards the car, not caring about the reporters and everyone who wanted to meet with him. Was this Sophia's hand work? She would definitely pay for this! He thought as he drove off speedily, leaving behind other cars. Ten minutes later, he rushed out of the store while everyone lowered their head even though they had a lot to say. They didn't understand what he was doing at the store at that moment. Even at the store, just because of the scandal, they had lost some customers under the disguise that they couldn't buy goods from a criminal. “Debby, are you okay? Can you hear me?” “My boyfriend found me. He did this to me. I don't want to work here anymore. It wouldn't take long before Julia finds me” She said weakly. “After this, they won't dare to harm you again. Just to make sure that you are fine, let's go to the hospital”“The CCTV footage. You may not see it here when you want to get it” she said a
