“I am not a criminal. Why would you even think such things when I was only passing by?” Jason said, trying to reason with the heavyset chief.
The man gave him a demeaning look. “I have nothing to say to you. The police would handle you when they get here”
Jason sighed when he realised that he was not with his phone. He could simply call Charlotte and all this problem would be over.
He left his phone in his hotel suite that morning before going for his run though. Something he blamed himself for now as he was surrounded by the hostile security men.
Two of them were left with him while the others went back to their posts.
"This man is a thief. I am sure that he was sent by his mates to scout this place o

The security men were surprised by Manager Rox’s declaration. The smile on Andrew’s face vanished immediately as he thought he had made a terrible mistake. All he wanted to do was to impress the lofty manager and now, he might even get into trouble for that.“I…ah…” he was about to make his excuses when he saw the way Manager Rox looked at Jason.The contempt on Manager Rox’s face was glaring coupled with his cruel smile as he sized Jason up “Oh my dear, dear brother. What a pleasant surprise to see you here after all these years”“The pleasure is not shared. That much I can assure you” Jason said through gritted teeth as he looked at the smug face of his so-called brother. The bastard.“Oh, come o

“You are welcome, ma,” Daniel said with a respectful smile as he rushed toward the young woman. He stretched his hand forward as if to collect her bag. The woman raised a haughty brow at him and he quickly dropped his hand. Everyone could see that she had rejected the doorman’s offer before anyway and it was insensitive of Manager Rox to offer again. He was manager Rox anyway so nobody could say anything as he moved back, away from the path of the woman. “Welcome, ma” the security men echoed. “Welcome, madam CEO” the chief security added. Jason was amazed by the woman in front of him. Despite the details that his men had been able to dig up on her. All they could manage to get was just a single picture of her. Even that was not on the public website. His men used considerable means to get the picture. Jason was amazed at how much the picture did not do her much justice. She was looking much younger then. Jason was sure that she would be aged by now as it was publicly declared t

“Chairman?” Manager Rox blurted out before he could control himself. Not in a million years could he have expected a loser like Jason to be called that. He remembered the young boy his parents adopted from the system for the payment. He thought of all he did back then to Jason and the last straw that finally sent him out of their house. His tie suddenly felt too tight and he felt a sudden urge to fan himself. “I am sorry for this…embarrassment” Charlotte said with contrition. “I would have been here earlier to welcome you if I knew” “I was only passing by after my run. I would have come back later to properly introduce myself. But then I was accosted by…” he let his words trail off. The security men squirmed when Charlotte turned the full blaze of her glare on them. The chief security dropped to his knee instantly and the others followed suit. He was sweating profusely as he begged, echoed by the others “I am so sorry for my stupidity… for our mistake. I was so blind to ever thi

“You can be rest assured that I am not here to take your position or make you step down,” Jason said, going straight to business as he sat on the luxurious, spacious couch that Charlotte offered him.He looked extraordinarily handsome in his navy blue, double-breasted jacket and matching trousers. His collared dress shirt moulded perfectly to his physique accentuating his patterned necktie.His spattered running shoes had been replaced with a glistening dress shoe of the highest quality. Jason looked every inch like the man in power, a far cry from the Jason that was mistaken for a criminal earlier. It was no surprise why Charlotte looked a bit flustered. She waited for Jason outside with some other high-level executives for a few minutes until 10 am. True to his words, Jason arrived at 10 am sharp. The executives were amazed when they saw him as they couldn’t believe that their conglomerate belonged to such a young man.Charlotte had briefed them about Jason though. They all greeted

The cool breeze from the overlapping water ruffled the white tufts of hair on the old man’s head as he looked out at the gurgling river from his garden.The Aquae Sulis river ran through the back of the home he chose for himself as a sanctuary. The home where he awaits his granddaughter.A closer look at the man showed the sallow look on his face, his veined hands and his thinning hair.He held a gold walking cane in his hands as he stood at the unfenced perimeter of his ten acres of land where the sprawling wood and stone-modelled mansion was situated. The environment suited him just fine.The nearest neighbour was about ten miles away.“Where are you, Millie?” he muttered to himself as he breathed in the fresh scent of water over fertile soil.He felt the cleansing deep down to his toes. It felt like a cleansing of his soul. He felt like the chemicals and cloying smells had been washed out of his system. He was never going back. If he had to go, then he would go on his term. Not bei

“This is a bad idea,” Andrea said as she had repeated several times since Jason told them what his plan was.“You have repeated that several times now,” Jason said in amusement. He turned to Simon “How many times now?”“Not that I am counting, Mo Chroi, but you have said it about ten times at least,” he said with a small grin. Then he turned to Jason, ignoring the scathing look that his partner gave him “Truly sir, she is right. This is…”“I don’t want to hear it,” Jason said with a shake of his head “I am sure that my brains would start leaking out if any of you repeated just how dangerous it is for me to get in there”“You can simply send us” Andrea insisted.“No” Jason shook his head thoughtfully, his eyes on the activities going on at the dock.” I need you two out here. Your…expertise would be put to better use out here. Also, how was I supposed to call for rescue if you are in there with me. I might call on you to save me, you know?” he added with a slight wink to lighten the moo

Since he collapsed after leaving his son’s bedside the other day, not only did the doctor tell him to stop doing anything strenuous or emotion-wracking; he was advised to have total bed rest. Not only were his limbs getting weaker, but his immune had also taken a hit as well, and ailments that others take in their stride will not only bring him low, it could ruin his chance at longevity. Andre, being Andre, did not listen of course but then after an episode where his phlegm was stained with blood after a wracking cough episode, he stayed put. He stopped going to the corporation as he was known to do at least once in a month or whenever the urge hit. Matteo was sure he was sad about his father’s deteriorating health, ofcourse he was.
