“I will have to call Anthony right away. I need him to help me run some investigations,” Andrew thought in his head while he was still at the office.He picked up his phone and he located Anthony's number. Placing a call across, he confirmed that his phone was switched off which was so abnormal.“Anthony's phone is never switched. Did something happen?” He asked himself but there was no answer forthcoming.He thought of the next move he could take and so, something came to his mind.The other investigator should still be available. He placed a call across to him. But his phone was switched off too.“What could be happening? Why is their phone switched off?” He questioned himself and he couldn't get an answer. He had to call his father.“Hello, father. There is something really pressing,” he announced.“What is it, son! Hope you did not run into a problem?” He asked him.“I have been trying to call Anthony and the other investigator you gave me their number but their numbers are switch
The room was lit. Although it lacks some things, no one would enter the house without commending the great work done there.Mr Joe sighed while he drank a glass of wine. “I need to start my own part,” he thought in his head.Joe picked up his phone to call some bad guys.“Hello,” he said immediately he picked up.“Hello, Mr Joe. Is there something urgent? I don't see your call often,” he said to him.“That's right. I need your help in kidnapping some people,” he informed him.“Some people. Okay, send me the required details. I will get back to you once the mission is successful,” he said to him.Joe exhaled inaudibly. “This is all about getting it done . What I call you for, have a deadline and if you are not fast enough, you might lose everything,” he said to him.Now, he is surprised. Joe had never given him a task that required that he would give him a deadline. “This task must be a tedious one.” He thought in his head.“I will send all the details to your phone. I need this job la
Patricia exhaled. “I am Patricia. I was asked to come see you so you could explain some things to me about the company. You are the assistant president right?” She asked.Clara looked at her face. Her words seemed like a lie, although she wondered why Miss Bella brought her in the first place. While she was still in thoughts, the company's telephone rang. It distracted her from further thoughts. She glanced at it for the main time and she decided to pick the call.“Hello, sir,” she realized it was Andrew calling.“I believe Miss Patricia is with you already. Tell her everything that is happening to the company. I want to see what she would do about it. She claimed to be very good in investigative services,” he made things clear to her.“Okay.” Andrew ended the car after she replied.Clara exhaled intensely with a short glance at her. “Have your seat, Miss Patricia,” she said with a warm smile.Patricia was surprised. Clara was frowning earlier, now that she started smiling felt a lit
Patricia walked in through his door. She closed the door behind herself and she drew close to him.Patricia sat in front of him even before Andrew could say a word.She started the conversation. “I am so sorry for the crisis your company is going through in the hands of Mr Biden. I have explained how to deal with the situation to Miss Clara. She told me she would have it all explained to you,” she said to him.Andrew exhaled. “Okay. Let me ask her to come over. We have to deliberate on the solution provided already,” he stated.“Okay. That would indeed be perfect.”Andrew placed a call across immediately. Clara picked up.“Hello, come to my office now!” He ordered.His voice seemed very urgent leaving Clara in a state of bewilderment. She got up on her feet and she had to rush to meet him at the office.Getting in, she drew close to them.“Please, have your seat Miss Clara. We have been waiting for you,” Andrew said with a soft voice.Clara sat on the empty chair beside Patricia.“Pat
The day had drawn to the end. Andrew was tired already due to so many things he had done at the office. He was exhausted and he felt it was enough for the day.He stood on his feet and packed all his things. When he was done, he walked out of his office and he closed the door behind him.With a few steps ahead, he said to his secretary, “I am going now. Make sure you take care of the office.”He didn't wait for her response before he continued pacing forward. “Okay,” she gave her reply but Andrew was far gone.Immediately after he highlighted from the company, his driver sighted him. He opened the car doors.Andrew drew close. He got into the car. The driver closed the door and got into the car. “How was work today?” He asked Andrew.Andrew wasn't in the mood to give a reply. “Start driving!” He ordered.“Yes, Young master.” He started the car immediately. Andrew relaxed backwards while his thoughts kept going around different circles. As they were going, Andrew's eyes caught up wi
The next day.Andrew opened his eyes after a long sleep. He was tired yesterday due to some work he had to make sure was going through.That same yesterday was when the branding started, it had been all hectic.He heaved out a heavy breath as he made his way out of bed. Getting down, some cracks went throughout his joints, he could even hear the noise.He removed his clothings. Andrew went to the bathroom to freshen himself and when he was done, he walked out of the bathroom.He went to his wardrobe to pick up his clothings when he heard his phone beep.“Which message would that be this morning?” He thought in his head. Andrew wasn't expecting a message from anyone that morning. He was surprised he got a message at all.He went to his phone and he picked it up. He realized he had turned on his wifi all this while.“Oh .. my wifi is on.” He retorted before he realized it was a video an unknown number sent to him.“Who is this?” He thought in his head, before he decided to open the mess
“GET OUT OF MY OFFICE, miss Clara!” He said it in a decent but harsh manner.“But…” she wanted to speak but he cut her short. “Get out, Now!” he vocalled intensely.Clara had never experienced that kind of rage from him. Her heart almost cut when he said it again. She had to rush out of his office.Andrew sat in the pool of thoughts on what to do.“How could they have demanded that I hand over the company if I don't want those people captured to die. This is horrible. I am in a tight position,” he thought in his head.Andrew had never been faced with a high stake of decision. It was as if he was torn between choosing his company and those people.“If I choose the people, it is still possible I lose the company. If I choose the company, definitely, I am going to lose the people. What do I do?” Different thoughts graced his mind. He realized he had a limited time to make up his mind.“I cannot act out of impulse or based emotion. I just act as a man.” Andrew manned up. He realized he wa
“If Biden was here. How much is involved, Mr commissioner?” Andrew went straight to the point. His eyes met with his.The commissioner smirked. “Five freaking Billions. If I can get that now, you will have all the teams working for you again,” he expressed.Andrew didn't get it at first but now, it seemed he got the whole point. “Are you saying they weren't kidnapped?” He asked him.“Don't be so daft, Mr Andrew. They were sold to him and it means they are now working for him. Your company is under investigation and if care is not taken, I might have to issue a restraining order so your company can stop operating,” he explained to him but it sounded more like a threat.“What! Why on earth would you do such a thing? That's disgusting,” he expressed his dissatisfaction.The commissioner heaved out some air. “This is not the time to fight, Mr Andrew. Loads of cash would do the trick. If you ain't convenient with that, make use of the door,” he said to him.Andrew smirked. He felt betrayed
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
