That evening Lizzy organised a dinner for some of the investors who were going to be present at the presentation. The admin manager had given her two of their numbers.She took them to a very expensive restaurant in an attempt to bribe them. “good evening sirs.” She said smiling. “to what do we owe this pleasure?” one of them asked. “ok, I will just get straight to business then. Tomorrow morning the both of you alongside some other investors will be coming to our company CELL to pick a presentation.” She paused. “Yes and so?” the other one asked. “I am one of the presenters. My name is Lizzy Paters. I have worked in CELL now for almost 4 years. This makes me the perfect candidate for a promotion of general supervisor, don't you think?” she asked them both.“Well I can’t say. There are many others in the company who have worked in CELL for a very long time and yet are not capable.” One of them replied. “There are two different things. It’s one thing to be capable and it’s another t
Charlie was still at the warehouse and thinking seriously. “Tony must have told Mr Wellington to do that to help him buy him sometime. It means that Tony must have some plan.I have to figure it out, otherwise my plan will be ruined.” Charlie muttered to himself. He looked at Sarah and then decided to do something. “Pretty girl, it seems like your dad doesn’t want to cooperate with us. I have to do something to you that you might not like.” Charlie said to Sarah. Sarah stared at Charlie wondering what he was planning to do. Charlie went to a corner and brought back a transparent glass jar filled with insects and worms.“You come on here.” He called out to one of the security guards that was there. “take this phone and record this.” He said as he tied a bandana to his face. “start recording.” He said to the guy. “Now listen Mr Wellington, I know you are pretending to have broken your arm. Now let me tell who might actually break her arm if you don’t sign the contract immediately. If
The next morning, Mr Wellington called Mr Maxwell who had called him before. “Before I sign the contract I want to see my daughter with my eyes.” Mr Wellington said exactly as I had told him to."Hmmm, hold on, I will tell you if you can.” Mr Maxwell said as he hung up. he called Charlie immediately. “Hello Charlie. Mr Wellington says he won’t sign unless he sees his daughter physically. What should we do?” he asked, confused. Charlie took a deep breath in. “Could it be Tony who asked him to say this?” He said, wondering. “but it’s only normal that he would want to be sure we have his daughter. Don’t worry Mr Maxwell, I will handle Mr wellington.” Charlie said. As he picked up another phone to call Mr wellington. “Hello Mr wellington. Now listen carefully, we would bring you to see your daughter but if you think of calling the police, Tony or anyone at all, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill Sarah. “ok. I won’t call anyone.” Mr Wellington said scared as he hung up the call. Mr Wellington
Charlie looked at me shocked. “I thought I told you to take Tony off this case!” Charlie shouted at Mr wellington. “Well for starters, how dare you shout at a man older than you like that.” I said as I punched Charlie on the face hard. Mr Maxwell and the other men there ran away.Charlie staggered as he fell on the floor. “Mr wellington you may go, your daughter is with Trina. The police are on their way.” I said to Mr Wellington as he left. I locked the door leaving only me and Charlie. Charlie ran back and forth the room. “What are you doing Tony, haven’t you won. Why are you still disturbing me?” Charlie asked, feeling confused. “You call this disturbance? Disturbance is using my voice to trick someone into getting kidnapped. No it’s not just disturbing but also disgusting as well. You couldn’t even carry out a mission yourself without manipulation and deceit just like you always do.” I said as I wore a glove in my hand. “what are you talking about?” Charlie asked, pretending no
John stood there frozen and everyone stared back at him. He thought to himself “I've said nothing wrong. Why are they not reacting?” “So how exactly do we make more money by making our coffee for the common man?” the investor whom Lizzy had bribed asked John. “Look, this is business. We are not really concerned about who takes the coffee or not, we just need it to make money.” He added. Some people agreed with him. Even though John was not so prepared for such a question he decided to respond. “making money is not automatic. It involves a lot of this. We already make coffee for the rich and only the rich have been buying it for years. In order to make more money, we need to expand the market. We can make another form of the coffee one which the common man can still access. It doesn’t have to really be the same packaging that makes it cost a fortune. It just needs to be our product. That way we win from both sides.” John replied to the man. “What if the so-called common man rejects
I dropped Mr. Wellington and Sarah off at his mansion. “Thank you Tony. I don’t know what to say. If not for you my Sarah would have been…” Mr. Wellington was saying when I cut him short. “It's my pleasure Mr. Wellington, but I am truly still worried about you and Sarah’s safety. “You are right Tony. The lotus group won’t just give up.” Mr. Wellington added. “What do you suggest? Should I call the police?” Mr. Wellington asked. “the police won’t be able to handle them. They have got it all planned. Did you record any of the phone calls you had with them?” I asked Mr. wellington. “oh no I didn’t remember that. I was panicking at that time. I couldn’t think properly.” Mr. Wellington responded. “ok it’s fine then. Don’t involve the police. I will deal with it. Mr. Wellington, I know this might be a bit difficult to do. You and Sarah need to restrict your movements from now on. Don’t go anywhere without informing both me and probably Mr. Walter about where you are going and take enoug
“Paula was the one who treated John's son?” Trina asked, standing up and looking down at me. I was silent. “Tony, did you break a rule just for your friend’s son?” she asked further. “No one needs to find out about it. After all, I am the second in command of the Dark Dragon. I should be able to do this at least.” I replied. Trina still looks very unsure. “you want to use your position to break the rules?” she asked again. “I told you before Trina that our essence is to save people. Save the good, the innocent. If you see someone dying should you just leave them to die? Can the rule you keep bring a person back to life? What kind of rule makes you leave someone to die?” I asked her with a serious face. Trina was quiet for a moment. “I know Tony, but what if John finds out about the dark dragons. How do we deal with that kind of situation?” Trina asked now sober. “you are right but when things happen impromptu, you deal with the problem impromptu too. I pray that the day John finds
Trina dropped me off at John’s house. “Thanks for the ride, Trina.” I said. “You should rest Tony.” Trina said as she zoomed off. I rang the doorbell. George opened the door. “who are you?” George said as he looked at me weirdly. “I am your godfather.” I replied as I carried him up. “George who’s that?'' John asked as he came to check who it was. “how are you doing?” I waved to him casually. “Dumebi! I mean Tony. God I thought I had gotten used to call you that already. I am so glad you could make it.” John said smiling. “So how many people are coming for dinner exactly?” I asked looking around to see if John invited anyone else. “no just you. I just invited you. You were literally the reason why all this is even happening. “I can’t believe this is George.” I said looking at his face. “You scared the hell out of your parents, you little kid.” I said as I pinched his check. “Dad, he is the one in the photograph, right?” George said as he observed my face. “What photograph?” I asked
