"Sir, I think you will like this candidate, she fits the perfect picture of your wife. I know that you will like her sir." Rufus said while staring into his phone. It was just normal for him to be able to get her to do what he wanted.Antonio snorted, that was the song Rufus had been singing for the greater part of the day but at the end of the day, he later figured out that they were all trash. This was the last person he was willing to take a chance to look at because everyone was screaming nonsense. He was tired of having to take a look at anyone, if they didn't come correctly they should get the hell away from him.He was searching for a wife but not desperate. "So, let me see this person you're beating your chest that I'd like again this time. I'm tired of you always telling me the same thing. You're beginning to sound like a broken record and I don't know what to do with you at all." "Oh, really? Sir, I think you will really like this person, she's your spec and she will help y
Antonio donned his best pair of Italian shoes as he checked out his outfit in the mirror, it was lovely. He brushed his hair, he had made sure that he was looking very sharp before going out to meet Anita. She was a total package. He wanted to smell and look rich, so he opted for that suave look and loved the way the cologne was hitting him in the nostrils. She would be stunned by this ensemble, he had made sure of it. "Rufus, how do I look?" He inquired as he stepped out of his office. Rufus nodded. He was a male but he knew stuff when he saw one. This man had made a lot of efforts so that should also account for something though. "I think she will be impressed. Anyway, we are getting late. She's known to be a stickler for time. I really don't want you to give off a wrong first impression. That can be damning. I would want you to take her by surprise by being early so that it can score you brownie points." "Thank you very much, Rufus. You're becoming very industrious. If you kee
Leonard was getting restless in the prison cell. His release was taking too long. Estelle had managed to launch a foundation that helped in tackling issues of people who were wrongly accused but guess who was still locked up without the hope of release? You guessed right. Him. It was enough to make any sane person begin to think about various things. He was beginning to wonder if Silas was actually working for his release or if he was busy sleeping with his sister all in the name of a relationship and that affected his code of conduct in the prison.He was found brooding most of the time and sometimes too, he was also found snapping at his fellow prisoners making them wonder what caused the sudden change. It was a very slow but evident change that he was no longer the happy fellow that they knew. The prison boss walked up to him that day and saw the way he was acting. "If you have any problems why don't you just go ahead and tell the controller, after all, he's your in-law?" Leona
Estelle walked in right at the same time to see her brother and sister-in-law staring at each other. "Hey, Ava, do you want to see someone? Uncle Silas?" She called and the little girl bounced down from her mother's leg before leaving with Estelle.Emma didn't really know how to react to the way he was staring at her. "You don't think that is enough for me to get angry?" Leonard fumed. Emma sighed tiredly. "you don't get to pass your aggression on me. You told me to stay away from Rufus but I can't just send him away. He supplies me with a bit of information which I tell Silas and which helps with the investigations. You can't tell me not to talk to someone just because...." She trailed off leaving him to figure out whatever.Leonard was pissed that she wasn't just seeing the point. "this isn't about seeing another guy or not. I know Rufus from way back. That man is bad news I don't know you just don't see that." Emma rolled her eyes. The last thing she wanted to do was to fight wit
Sophie walked out of the establishment where she was working and hurried to enter a cab that she had ordered. She was very scared nowadays to walk without being guarded. After seeing that her daughter held no manner of love for her, she decided that she didn't want to ever be in a situation where she would be helpless. Ava was like her. Unforgiving and unyielding even after all Emma's efforts to make the little girl like her. She wasn't going to blame Emma rather, she would blame the person who caused it in the first place and it was no one but her."Are you leaving already?!" Macy her coworker yelled as she walked out. She turned when she got to the door. "Yeah, Macy, I'll see you tomorrow." As soon as she stepped outside, thunder clapped in the sky causing her to move her hand away from the iron door for the fear of lightning striking and causing her harm. She was spooked by any little thing and it was messing with her mind this time around. "Are you sure you'll leave now? It's
Antonio paced in front of the board of directors. "You can't keep holding my inability to get married over my head. That doesn't show anything about my character. You've been seeing results, haven't you? That should be enough. I don't buy all these shenanigans that you are playing at." He snapped.They kept on staring at him. Alice coughed, as the chairperson, she had the right to call him to order whenever he was misbehaving. "You shouldn't speak to us in that manner in the first place, secondly. I know that this might be hard for you to admit but you would also agree with me when I say that you shouldn't neglect the words of advice that you're given." "It's a game, a sacrifice that you must make. I thought we had gone past this. Why do you think a lot of budding businessmen get married? Why do you think that divorcees don't hold large public offices? Of course, you don't think that this thing works by magic, do you? You need to be seen as responsible. Watch people who aren't able t
Silas grinned when Alice walked into the establishment. Things were finally going to take a new shape and he wasn't even worried about it for a minute. There was going to be an appropriate punishment for him. "Hello, darling... I don't think that we should be worried about anything the moment we see you. I'm so glad that you could make it after a lot of postponement. How does it feel to be here today after all this while?" He inquired cheerfully.A lovely smile appeared on Alice's face. She liked Silas as a brother. They had come a long way in different spheres of life. "Do you know why I think I should visit more often? You shouldn't announce my arrival like I am the worst person in the world." Silas grinned and hugged her passionately. "Tell me where have you been all these years?" "I've been here and there. What have you been up to besides catching the bad guys? I've watched the news and I think that it's ripe for you to really make a show out of those people who don't think tha
Emma walked into the establishment the next day and saw that Rufus was already waiting for her inside. She glanced at her watch and saw that she was just a bit late. There was a bit of panic in his eyes that got him worried. What the hell happened? She wondered. She didn't have the strength for Rufus' pestering this morning.Ava had gone to School so she was grateful that she didn't need to start explaining what she was doing with another man who didn't care about her and didn't look like a good person."Hello, Joyce." She greeted the receptionist whose head was buried in her desk. That was the only downside she had with her. Apart from that, Joyce was efficient at her job. "Ma'am, you have a very important meeting by ten a.m. The board in Singapore needs you to be present." Joyce lied and Emma smiled in relief. She had told her to always find an excuse whenever Rufus was around so that it didn't seem like it was her doing. "Good morning, Rufus." She greeted him.Rufus merely strok
