I am just thinking of taking this to the police station, I just intentionally showed you before I take better steps,” he said to him.“Mr Andrew calm down, ple

    The day ended. The next day. The morning brightness Illuminated the sky. The morning birds wouldn't stop chirping while the cars wouldn't stop plying the road.Andrew opened his eyes after a very long sleep. It was a new day with lots of hope and a new ambition.

    Andrew wondered what the question would be. Her facial expression was depicting something clever. “Go ahead,” he replied to her.Jane let out some air from her nostrils. She licked her lips and adjusted herself on the chair. “What about the oil project? Have you gotten it?” She asked him.Andrew looked at the intent she used to ask that question.

At least that will be okay for all the stress we have gone through,” she said to him.Andrew widened his eyes.

    Andrew looked at her in the face. “I only need money to get you arrested and from there you would be tortured until you spill the truth.”Jane's countenance fell. She inhaled some air and glanced at him. Jane saw that if she hardened herself and still confronted him, it would be a problem from her side and with the way Andrew spoke, he wouldn't hesitate to get her arrested. She went on her knees, “I am sorry, please let me go. I promise never to show my face again,” she was sober minded. Andrew exhaled. “I am not that cruel. I will give you the opportunity to take to your heels. If by chance I ever set my eyes on you. Miss Jane, it won't be funny,” he dissected those words.Penetrating Jane's ear, she stood on her feet. “Thank you.” She walked to the wardrobe and she started packing her things. Andrew watched her for some minutes before he walked out of her room.“Finally, I have gotten rid of her in a pleasant way…” his face molded with a dark smile. “Young master, good morning.

It was not the mansion but Jane made the whole trip uncomfortable.“I am good, dad. Although I have a little hard time,” he said to him.James widened his eyes. He was curious about his last statement. “A little hard time?” He echoed. James seemed concerned about the Clause.Andrew glanced at him. “Don't worry, father, it's nothing serious. I had a great time bagging the contract,” he spelt it out of his lips with lots of courage to make his father understand he was speaking the truth.J
