“Shit!” Alex cursed. She turned to the vault one last time before going out of Byron's office. She had a strong hunch that all the important documents she was unable to find in Byron desk and drawers were locked and hidden there.She moved as fast as she could but then, the door to the office went open then Byron and Carol walked in.Byron glared at her face, down to her bag. He couldn't help but notice the file popping out of her bag like she didn't place them well.“Hahaha… brother!” Alex broke the silence with a dry laugh that was obvious to everyone in the office.“Andrew stay, the rest of you should leave us.” Byron said then Carol and Alex's bodyguard's left and shot the door behind them.Andrew was the company's auditor and he had to be present since Alex was here and he was basically the one in charge.“I wanna have a few words with you, please have your seat.” Byron politely said to Alex and she nodded without hesitation.They took their seats then Byron turned to her. “Alex,
Her eyes widened in shock. When did Byron find out about this? He freaking got her investigated! How does she deny all this?She heaved a deep sigh before saying,“Hahaha! Dear brother! You don't think I could possibly do that without a reason, right?” Alex tried to admit.The more she tried to deny it the more dangerous this game might become. Seeing the expression on Byron's face made her restless and defensless.He could know too much and still give her room to deny it, so he could prove her even wrong in the end with more evidence.He must never find out who she partnered up with to carry out this operation. She might as well just say the truth to avoid unnecessary drama and lack of trust from him or it might break the trust she had struggled to build between them.It was obvious he suspected her big time!There was no form of trust in his eyes. She noticed the way he looked at her was now somewhat different.“What do you mean by that, Ms. Smith?” Andrew frowned.Alex tilted her h
Asides holding the majority shares in the Armstrong Group. Both of Byron's company's own the biggest part in it. There was a board meeting vote and most of the members chose Liam as the president and Byron as the vice president and Byron didn't object.Ever since Joanna announced Byron as the owner of Platinum Enterprises branch in Emerald Hill, they had no choice than to give him that spot in the company and Byron was okay with it as long as his other company, Mega Corporation still had the 80 percent shares of their company, giving both company power.He goes to The Armstrong Group once or twice in a week as the Byron they all know and as Mr. Smith, he only goes there when it's important.Right now, he was at the vice president’s office in the Armstrong Group while Joanna was in her office outside his office.Vanessa, who happens to still be a board member in The Armstrong Group, pushed Byron's door open and walked inside.Byron looked up, “Vanessa.” He called softly as she looked
Byron was about to follow Vanessa out and probably have lunch with her but seeing Maggi here was what he didn't expect.Ever since she and her family accused him wrongly, he had made sure to stay away from them especially since Liam was now out of jail.“Lunch?”Byron shook his head, “I'm not hungry.” What did she think this was? She could slap, call him names and even try to get him arrested and then turn back to propose lunch to him like nothing happened? This was his last day in the week to be here. His main focus was on Mega Corporation and by next week he'd come here as Mr. Smith, president of Mega Corporation and not the Byron they all know.“Excuse me.” Me made his way out without turning to look back at her.As he got to the restaurant, he scanned the place as the waitress placed his food on his table. He grabbed his chopsticks and started eating the noodles he ordered. Just while he took his first few sticks, his head was suddenly pushed to the hot bowl of noodles he was
The entire room was filled with smoke then slowly it started coming out of the tiny part of Byron's office.In less than 2 minutes after Eleanor left, Joanna walked back to her office after using the restroom. As she was about to sit, she perceived something weird and unusual, then she turned to scan the area.Suddenly, she saw a horrific smoke slowly coming out of her boss' office. Last time she remembered, he was still in there!“Mr. Smith!” She coughed and knocked on his door but there was no response. Slowly the entire office was filled with smoke that she was unable to see a thing. She coughed loudly, beating her chest as she tried to call, “Are you in there?! Please answer! Mr. Smith! Boss.”Her body became weak but all she wanted was to make sure her boss was out of there.Quickly, she ran over to her desk but couldn't see where the intercom was to call the securities. She tapped everywhere and still couldn't see anything to press to call for help.As realization dawned on her
Good thing; He wasn't harmed. Bad thing? He didn't remember to take his phone when he left the office. And with the looks of things, he phone was probably burnt to dust.“You're alive.” Joanna said the first thing that came out of her mouth the moment she saw Byron seated next to her.She had thought he was in his office when the fire started. She was scared as fuck that she had to make sure she got him out so the fire doesn't rip his skin out.Byron smiled, “Yes, I am. Now, do well to get better.” “How? How didn't you… but you were… how come there was fire?” A lot of questions flooded her head as she recalled the incident.“Don't worry about that. Just focus on getting better. You have a lot of work to do in the next few days.” Byron announced.It seems as though he had been too soft on the Armstrongs. First, they brought a coffin to the company and lied against him, Liam dipped his face into a hot bowl of noodles and now his mother had set his office on fire to avenge an act her so

They all exchanged glances at each other before turning to Byron. “A little broken bone will teach this rat a lesson!” The hefty one said. “Don’t!” They heard a voice from inside before they could even take a step towards Byron. A fat old man walked out and stood at his balcony, staring at the gate where Byron and the rest were. He had a smoke pipe at the corner of his mouth, as his eyes were fixed on Byron like he had been expecting him. “Don’t touch him, let him in.” He blew on his pipe and pulled it out. “He has an appointment.” Byron kept a straight face. These hefty looking men should rather thank their stars that their boss came out on time. He was ready to punch their faces in. “Boss, you can’t go in there alone. It might be a trap.” “He’s right, boss… you can’t trust mafias, especially the one as notorious as Richard Rowland.” Bruno and the rest whispered into Byron’s ears as he was about to walk in. “If I’m not out in the next 8 minutes, just know somethin
