At the front Richmond Hotel, Andrew got out of his car with his secretary after parking his car followed by Jacob and his son.Walking to Andrew's side, Jacob took the lead and entered the building without any fuss.The security guard just glanced at his pass. He showed them before entering and asked him to enter.But once he thought about it, he became more respectful as he the name je saw came to his mind once again.‘The Jacobs family, damn I must be careful and play my card right.’ be thought to himself.In their eyes, with the cloth he is wearing and the pass he showed them, it means he is among the elites not to talk of the fact that the Jackbs family name is not something to trifle with. But what changed the security guard's attitude was the name of the man as it carries lots of weight in the country.“Please enter and make yourself comfortable,” the security guard said with a little bit of excitement in his voice.“No problem,” Jacob let the word come through his mouth withou
Thinking about the best approach to asking his question, he decided to ask with the guess he had in mind.“Are you talking about Roger's family?” He finally asked.Jacob smiled after hearing the conclusion of the man's thought. “I must say, you are really good at guessing. Yes, you are right. This is the son of James Roger.” Although Ruchmond had guessed that this might be the case, he was shocked by the presence of such a person in his hotel.After thinking about it for sometime, he realized that he shouldn't be as his hotel has its own reputation. Even if his reputation is not up to the great families, his reputation is more than most of the wealthy families in the city.Haven heard the name of the person beside Jacob and his identity, Richmond extended his hand with a look that says ‘it's really a pleasure to meet someone as great as you.’Seeing his extended hand, Andrew didn't stand on ceremony and shook his hands. He will never forget that there was once a time when he had not
Finally, the land was displayed. The auctioneer had the video and images of the land which he showed the people there.Introducing the land as a place worth buying and it's location can be really beneficial to the owner of the land if used well.When, Andrew saw the land, he prepared himself for the bidding but before that, he intend to see who else want the land other than him.He waited patiently without saying a word making the people around him feel like he doesn't know what to do.Finally, Jacob couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, “Aren't you going to buy the land?”On hearing this, Andrew smiled mysteriously at Jacob as if to say you will know soon enough.Seeing this helped Jacob calm down a bit. Although he didn't know what Andrew is trying to do, he believed that he knows what he is doing. One if the things that helped him believe Andrew is the confident smile filled with mystery on Andrew's lips.One look and you could tell that this person knows what he is doing.See
On getting to the room, they saw Richmond sitting there, waiting for them.Once again, Richmond stood up to greet them before starting the conversation. “This is the contract you are going to sign.” Richmond said passing the contract to Andrew.Andrew took the contract, he read it over and over again but he didn't see any problem with the contract.He took his pen to sign the contract, but then he stopped.He saw that something was off with the contract, it was as if there was another contract within the contract he was signing.Andrew frowned slightly, immediately he took the contract up, he checked again hoping to see what is going on.After checking for sometime, he didn't notice anything strange, so he dropped it.But at this point, Richmond’s back was covered in sweat as he thought Andrew would get what he did there.But as Andrew wanted to sign the contract, Bella came to his side with a serious expression on her face.With Andrew's action just now, she could tell that somethin
Taking the game he is playing with Richmond seriously, Andrew called his private investigator.“I want you to give me every information you can find on a person that goes by the name Richmond Parker and he runs a hotel with Richmond in West covina.”“Okay, no problem.” The other voice from the phone.“Good, I also want you to monitor his movement and update me about his current location and everything he does every hour.” Andrew said without missing a word.“Okay, I will get on it immediately.” The voice said.Andrew hung up the phone and went back to his room. According to his schedule for the day, he was supposed to hold a meeting with the executives of the company.He got into his room and opened his laptop. He joined the link which has been created by his secretary.When he joined, the executives were already there, waiting for him to join the meeting.“Good morning, I trust you are all doing okay.” He said immediately he joined the meeting, not wanting to waste any time.“Yes, we
On hearing these words from the lady's mouth, Richmond felt as if his greatest dream had been achieved. He laughed out loud like a mad man about to lose control of the remaining functioning part of his brain.Getting curious, the lady asked. “With your great self ability, I know that getting hold of what he was here to buy was easy right?” She said in a careful way not wanting him to be offended in any way while also pushing him to give hl the answer himself.Immediately, Richmond heard this words, he looked at the lady with a serious expression on his face, “are you doubting my strength?” He Inquired with a stern voice.“No, that's not what I meant. I'm just trying to…” she said cowering in fear, but before she could finish what she was saying, Richmond slapped her hard in the face.He cried out, “how dare you? You lowly witch. Without me you will still be nothingness you dare question me.” He barked at her clearly enraged.The lady couldn't say anything, with fear shown in her fac
Bella sat on a couch in the sitting room busy with some documents.A buzzing sound came from the phone beside her indicating that there was a message.Bella glanced at the phone, but she continued what she was doing as she had no Intention of getting distracted by the phone.But after a thought occurred to her, she decided against it. She took the phone, unlocked it and opened the message from her notification screen.But immediately the message opened and she saw the message that was sent, she was shocked.She wondered to herself, ‘who could this person be?’ Checking the line that it was sent to, she realized that the message was meant for Andrew.‘Could this be true? How possible is this?’ She thought about asking herself different questions in the process.After a lot of thinking, she decided to take the phone to Andrew, since the message was meant for him.Andrew was in his room editing a document on his laptop.Ge was fully concentrating on the work he was doing until he heard a
For a man to take his hands off company matters, but still knows everything going on in the company, that kind of person can only be classified as good.In the Rogers mansion, James sat on his chair in his sturdy. ‘He should have found out why I sent him there by now.’ he thought, smiling to himself.‘but seeing that he is not back yet, maybe he wants to stay a few more days before coming back.’ He continued his thought.After more thought, he decided to.call his friend in the city.Taking out his phone and calling Jacobs line, the call made only a few beeps before Jacob pickup.“Hello, old friend.” Jacob said, his voice booming from the other end of the phone.Smiling, James exchanged pleasantries with Jim.and got to the main reason for his call.“Has everything Andrew went there to settle been settled?” James asked.Thinking about it for some time, Jacob said “yes, he is done with what he came here to do, he said he will be leaving in a few days.”“Okay.” James said absent minded wh
PresentKate enjoyed herself, feeling like the queen of the world as she exerted her power on her employees.All the bonuses they were being given, she stopped them with the excuse of managing the company's funds when the company had enough.The projects coming in reduced sharply as her poor management skill was displayed. The longer she stayed, the worse it became for the company's employees.Some of them took the initiative to speak up but she didn't listen, when they said she didn't listen, they reported to Emilia who instead of taking them seriously, fired them.She did that to them so that it can serve as a warning to others who might have the same thought as them.Soon the employees stopped complaining but instead grumbled as they worked tirelessly in the company.She increased the time spent in the company everyday while she went on vacations.Some of them left the company, thinking there's no hope.After some days passed, Emilia called for a meeting in which they all had to a
On getting home, he went to his room immediately as he thought everyone would be asleep at that time in the night.He entered his room, took off his shoes, socks and paid on the bed without removing his clothes before sleeping off.In Emilia's room, there was somewhat gloomy atmosphere there as Kate and Emilia sat in silence thinking deeply.Immediately Kate got back from office that day, she recounted what happened to Emilia in which she took Kate's side and insulted Andrew in every way possible.Thinking of this thorn in her side, she decided to think of a good plan that can be used to deal with him.She thought about it long and hard, finally she made an excited sound as if she's hit a jackpot.Immediately Kate saw this, she knew that Emilia must have successfully come up with a plan to solve their misery.“What is the plan?” Kate asked directly, not interested in mincing words.Smiling brightly, she nodded approvingly at how good Kate is. “How did you know?” Emilia asked, more int
Due the recent news about an attempted takeover of the company, the image of Andrew increased in both public and business men's eyes thereby causing an influx of customers ready to give their project to Andrew's company to handle.The stock price of the company increased rapidly without any intention of stopping. After finishing her report, Bella became silent as if waiting for Andrew's response.After hearing the good impact the previous day's event had on the company's image and how it increased the company's worth, he was elated.He grinned as he walked with Bella to the company but kept his composure. ‘No wonder, she waited for him at the front of the company.’ He thought.Andrew took the elevator to his floor, and after getting out of the elevator, Bella said a few words to Andrew and went to her office thereby parting ways with Andrew.Andrew entered his office in no time, ready to start the day's work as he was met by lots of documents to sign that day.Just as he was about to
Emilia was shaken by this sudden burst from James as she wasn't expecting it.He has always condoned her actions without saying much about it and only a few words when it is the most important. She was even more infuriated by this, ‘how dare he stand up for that bastard’ she thought. “Oh, you don't want me to insult him but Kate is also your daughter, didn't you think you are being partial by obviously supporting Andrew over her.” “This is not about support, it's about evidence. It's what you can see.” James said while taking out a document and throwing it at Emilia.Emilia took the document, read it and frowned as the document detailed everything happening at the company since the takeover by Andrew.Although she saw that there were times that crisis befall the company, Andrew always came out on top.As she was about to close the document, she saw the day's event that Kate was talking about, she read it and realized that he had played the person at his own game.The report was goo
On getting to the office, Andrew came out of his car, and went straight to the elevator that he will take to his office.Entering the elevator with his secretary beside him. Suddenly he remembered something he should have done.He took out his phone, opened the call log then dialed a number.After a few beeps, Jacob picked up his phone, without wasting time, Andrew asked the question on his mind, “has the crisis been resolved?” When Jacob heard this, he smiled “Yes, it has.” He replied with an obvious relief in his voice.After hearing that the problem has been resolved successfully, Andrew heaved a sigh of relief. He has been worried about the situation of things.Andrew gave him the details of what happened making Jacob smile bitterly.“I was not expecting it from him, I guess I shouldn't be surprised though.” Jacob Remarked.Andrew hung up the call after exchanging a few words with him.He sighed to himself in relief at how things went that day, lucky for him, his step sister wasn
Seeing the smile on Andrew's face, Richmond wanted to punch straight in the face but he gritted his teeth, “of course not Mr Roger, can't I walk around in this office?”Andrew's expression suddenly changed, “you've tried this action, not only on me but you've done it to be where you are today. I must say you are really good at it, getting all this wealth from someone through contracts, the way you hide is top notch but not just good enough.” Andrew said, looking straight at Richmond. Richmond shivered uncontrollably, he knew Andrew must've found out something about him but he didn't know what he found out. “What do you mean by that?” Richmond said trying to sound like his normal self but he knew staying longer will only lead to his detriment but what could he do. If he ran, he would be caught, but if he did not run, his life would be ruined. In both cases, he had no hope.Seeing that things have turned to this, he thought that begging will probably do. “Oh, you know what I mean v
Immediately Richmond heard this, he became confused by what Andrew said.Thinking Andrew is just bluffing, “oh, which deal did we make other than that Mr Roger?” Je questioned Andrew with the full intention of exposing his bluff.When Andrew heard this, the smile on his face became brighter. “Oh, you don't have to worry about it because I brought it today.” Richmond looked at Andrew's smiling face and frowned, ‘what if ge has something? Wouldn't that be a problem? ’ He thought, making his frown deepen bit by bit.When Lillian saw the situation, she was glad in her heart ‘looks like this Mr Roger really knows what he is doing.’She didn't show any emotion outward but she smiled at herself. ‘Looks like your story will end today,’ she thought, glancing at Richmond in front of her, he stood still, not moving a bit.If anyone see him right now, they will probably think he was standing still because he was caught right at his game, but Richmond still forced his mind to calm down.He looked
With this evidence and obvious transfer of position to Richmond, everyone became worried.They didn't know what this meant for their future.Some started criticizing, “how could he transfer the company like that, if he was tired of the company, he should have said so, why does he have to make this kind of transaction.”There were murmurs in the crowd and loud sounds were heard as people discussed this new turn around in the situation.Clara's frown deepened, she took the contract from Andrew's hand, read it word by word and was sure that what Richmond said was the fact.But when she finished reading the contract, she looked at the signature and found that there was something wrong with the signature.She asked her secretary to get her a document signed by Andrew. In no time, the secretary came with the document. Clara looked at the signature in the document her secretary just gave her and compared it with the contract Richmond gave.After comparing them for a while, she smiled to her
Richmond, a maniac as Lillian would consider him, proved her right with constant beating and non stop abuse. As she thought about these thongs, she suddenly felt short of breath, immediately she brought her head out of the water.Breathing heavily, she finished what she was doing and got out of the bathtub. In no time, she finished dressing up and went to Richmonds place as if she does not, she will suffer for her actions.She prepared and braced herself for what was about to happen. She got out of the house and headed straight to Richmonds mansion without any other thought.She knew there was nothing she could do about the situation she found herself as the only thing she can expect is a savior to come to her rescue.When she got there, Richmond was already waiting for her as she was lost in thought in the bath tub for a long time.“Do you think this is the time you should be here, how dare you stay more than the required time?” He barked at her.Faced by this monster, Lillian bec
