"What? Who's here?" Max was confused. He didn't understand what the man was trying to say. "Well..some people are here. They're looking for you and they're outside waiting. They demand that you come out at this moment" He expressed but max was still confused.He didn't quite understand what they meant by that but he sighed and walked off to meet whoever the man was talking about. And so he was out of the office in no time and headed towards the scene where the man led him to. Zane was closely following them behind. He had a smirk on his face, making it obvious that he knew what was happening and what was coming for them.Max had arrived at the scene where most of his workers gathered, peeping at the people who had arrived. And as Max looked, he saw some familiar faces standing there and looking at him.These familiar faces were the ones belonging to the judges of the previous grand competition event he had previously attended and won. There were two men and a woman and finally there
Leo was at him. Seating on the couch with a drink in his hand. He was calmly watching a lawn tennis game that was playing on his TV as though he didn't have any other problem to worry about. He seemed casual and free while doing so.Just then Jake walked into the room where he saw and said "Did you see the news?" He sounded excited."The news? The one about Max? I don't think I need to see any news" he expressed with a smile, sipping down his wine.Jake smiled "I think your plan worked. Because the news is currently trending and people are not taking it lightly with him" he smiled while reporting the news.Leo already knew what to expect. So he didn't dwell much in following up the details of what he did. He casually nodded as he said "I thought as much. The first hit has gone down, now I think it's time to see how deep this one goes to know the next step to follow" he smiled as he slowly sipped the wine in his hand while staring at the TV before him.He could already imagine how furi
It has been two days since the news broke out. And things didn't get any better at all. The situation of his secret being spread on the internet kept making things worse.People were still heavily bashing Max. And he was losing some connections he had in the industry. Some people didn't wish to mingle with him any further to avoid being dragged into the mess, so they distanced themselves from him by terminating their business contract with him.He was making some great losses over the past two days and it was pretty visible. Although he still had his company open, nothing much was happening. Business wasn't so smooth and some people had only stormed in front of his company to protest. it was an ugly sight for some days now but Leo didn't seem to take any action at all. He was simply quiet about the whole thing and didn't even bother releasing any statements. He allowed whatever happening to happen.Max was at home going through posts and news online regarding his case. And things didn
"Time? Time for what...?" Zane asked, slightly confused while staring at Max who now had his eyes on him."Since he went this far to make sure he ruins me, I think it's time I fight back before he even goes further" max explained "And how are you planning to fight back this time?" Zane Inquired."He is probably using someone around me to do what he's doing. Which is pretty cunning of him. So to fight back, I'm going to make sure of someone he once knew" He looked at zane again "I'm going to make use of you to deal with him"Zane hesitated before he said "Whatever you wish for, that is what I shall do. So tell me what you want from me" he stated.Max stared into thin air for awhile as though he was thinking about something. And after thinking, he said "I want you to go back to him""How so?""I'll set up a plan and make it public that I'm sacking you. I'll make everyone think that you're the one behind whatever that happened at the competition, and as a result of all the investigation
The news had gone viral and one could say that it had redeemed Max and his company to some extent. Some people online were now sympathising with him, expressing how he was wronged without having any idea of the situation.One could speculate that those saying so were people stationed online by him to make such comments. But there were also genuine Netizens taking his side on this and bashing the ignorant and evil secretary Zane for what he has done. Some could even relate to what happened to Max.Max's stained reputation wasn't completely cleaned up and saved. Because he still had people who doubted him and his sales weren't so perfect. As well as the loss that was still tormenting him. But at least he was taking some steps into redeeming himself. Even if it meant throwing someone under the bus for him. Which was what he was doing and planning on doing some more.He was currently content with the results he was getting from what he did. Sitting down in his office and going through the
Keeping up with his part time job was a hard one. Especially When the boss doesn't even appreciate him for his effort.Being a cranky person in general, Leo's boss doesn't even miss a chance to talk down on him for every little thing."Why are you standing there doing nothing? Haven't you cleaned up the plates to be used to serve the customers?""Why are you dilly-dallying? don't you know you should hurry up and serve the Customers?"Leo couldn't tell exactly why it was so, but it already seemed that His boss had an automatic hatred towards him.Always wanting to exploit his efforts to do more and still bash him for making the slightest mistake of all. Leo didn't seem to be the type to bother talking back easily..He lived with it.The sound of the shattering plates from the kitchen was something which had now gotten the attention of his boss.Shocked, his boss had rushed over to the kitchen to see what it was all about now.Leo was on the phone and what he was hearing over the phone
Leo stared at her.. He didn't seem to like where this was heading to, Certainty because he felt that something was off.Having stayed with his Mother-in-law for while now.. He hadn't once had a pleasant memory of her..This woman sitting before him was a thorn to him and his Married life in multiple ways.He had only come to her out of his desperate situation to save his foster mother after all."And what is the condition you're trying to impose?" He questioned as Her mother in-law smiled.Her Mother in law had got out a file and pushed it across the table for Leo to see. It got to Leo's front as he slowly picked it up.Reading through the content, he was simply shocked at what he saw. "This is...""Yes it is. Divorce my daughter and get out of our life..Then I'll happily give you the money"Leo slowly looked up at her. Although he had known her for being a Thorn, this was actually the first time she had made such baffling request openly to him."And what's this supposed...""Can't you
Leo was beyond speech. He couldn't believe the level of being shameless which his Mother-in-law had ascended to. He had known her to be a cheap person, but not certain cheap to this level.This woman was literally selling her daughter for money and wasn't even wavering at the thought. Rather she was proud of her decision."I can then rest assured once it's you my future son-in-law. Unlike someone who Obviously can't offer anything solid, I know you can certainly take care of us. All that's need to be done is marrying off my daughter to you and all is done! So you... Don't waste my time and sign this""What do you think you're saying.. Ma'am?" Leo was too shocked at her mentality that he had to ask "Don't you know that you're selling off your daughter like this?"Leo was too offended that he continued lecturing her "This isn't right Ma'am. How can you do such a thing like scooping so low to selling off Your daugher all because of money? That's a disgusting thing to do"Mrs Watt now See
