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
“The president!” Andrew remembered he had once met face to face with the president but it was a casual one and that was when he was able to have his number. It had been a very long time.Andrew picked up his phone. “His excellency. Good morning, sir. I am surprised to see your call,” he said to him“Good morning, Mr Andrew. I heard about what happened to your company. My condolences! I need you to come see me today for a pressing issue. Will you be available?” He asked him.Andrew didn't give it a second thought. “Yes, sir. Where should I meet you?” He asked him.“Royal birds off Houston road. I will be waiting for you,” he said to him.“Okay, I will be there. What time?” He asked him.“If you can come now, I will be pleased.”“Okay, I am on my way.”The president hung up the phone.Andrew was still so surprised about the call. “Let us see what the president has for us,” he thought in his head.He walked to the car. The driver opened the door, Andrew walked into it.The driver closed
The commissioner swallowed the saliva in his mouth. “What has gotten over you? You think you can just walk into my office and spit rubbish? I am the commissioner of police. Do not forget my title,” he spoke harshly.Andrew's face brewed with modesty and a short sharp smile. “Don't be full of yourself, commissioner. I came here the first time, you told me to buy my team back. Is that how a good commissioner should behave?” He spoke boldly and courageously.The commissioner was shocked and surprised. He didn't expect those words from him.“Don't come here to lecture me about ethics and morals. I am earful, get out of my office!” He ordered.Andrew smirked. “Unfortunately Mr Commissioner, I don't take orders from you. You should check your phone. An important call should come in,” he said.The commissioner looked at him. “I won't give you another warning. I will have you thrown inside the cell,” he expressed his mind.“Do your worst, I am not afraid of you.”In anger, as he wanted to ca
