The secretary bowed her head in shame and walked out, that was no ordinary person talking, it was the chairman himself and if the rumors she heard of him were any true then she has to leave, now that she has the chance. She left the mcphersons in the office to sort out whatever pieces that she had dropped on them.Jimmy was the first to talk. “So you are not handing them over to the disciplinary committee because Pius is involved?”.“What will you have me do, announce to them and create a scandal in the media?, If Pius can be very stupid I won't allow me to drag my name and the firm's name into the mud. How many times do I have to say it”. Senior McPherson said. He looked at Pius with diagiy and wiped the sweat off his face returning to his chair.“I'm sorry Dad, I don't know how it happened. She just threw herself on me I was carried away by everything”. He begged his father.“You never fail to disappoint me Pius, your secretary of all people. Even if you are having her, it must be i
And that was how he started going to see the therapist three times weekly, it helped for a while and even his father noticed the changes in him. But his school friend Rodney was not cool with the change. He approached him and asked why he has been distant of late. Pius innocently told him and Rodney made a mockery of him for going to see a therapist. He advised that he can continue seeing the therapist to pacify his mother but doesn't need to change how he is for anybody. Pius welcomed the idea, and took it. Although he was careful not to indulge in some big cases. His father took it that the change was gradual and with time he would completely change.On the side Pius was doing as he pleased and he liked it, nobody knew. Not even his therapist or his mother.“You can leave my office now, the two of you. My day is already bad and I don't want to look at you, we will deal with it at home”. Robinson's voice boomed into his head. He nodded and left while Jimmy followed behind him.“Piu
Robinson understands where his wife was coming from that it was a place of love for their first son. But he also needed her to understand the gravity of things at hand. True she had been supportive and always ready to heed to whatever he said. But he still needs her compliance right now.Pius, who was saddened by what he just heard his parents discussing, He knew it was the end of the road for him. His mother would fight for him no doubt, but how long would she be able to hold out on his father. His father knew how to go about getting what he wants and he always got it, irrespective of what it was and who was involved.He didn't bother looks for the rest of the family, he picked out the card his secretary gave him and called her. “Jessica, where can we meet?”.His secretary was glad he called, she wasn't expecting him to call so soon. She gave him the address and he told her he'd get there in thirty minutes. He drove out like a mad man into the night and arrived at her apartment. It w
After the two of them had showered they laid side by side on the bed, it was the first time they would be staying intimately beside each other, they were majorly focused on the sex, sometimes he gives her money and sometimes he doesn't and she doesn't even bother to ask him. He was the first to break the silence. “If I may ask, why do you stay in an environment just like this?, You earn well enough at the firm so why don't you get yourself a decent place to stay?, Don't you get scared sometimes that some of these people might try to harass you”.Jessica laughed loudly. “easy for you to say, you dabble with daddies money without any care in the world and if you don't even work for the rest of your life, you already have everything sorted out, and as for why I am still living here, there's not much story to it. I was born here, lived here my whole life, and it's the one place where I can easily get any man I want to fuck any time I want too”.Pius was shocked “you mean to tell me that y
Pius didn't know if he should listen to the advice that Jessica had for him or not. Nothing was at the forefront of his mind except the chairman seat and if it involved him doing anything to get, he was ready to do it as long as no one gets hurt.“What do you have in mind exactly”.Jessica propped herself on the bed and looked directly into Pius's eyes. The light from the single bulb in the room giving her face some kind of uncanny reflection, her skin looked like sone kind of oil painting and he felt like touching her to be sure it was the same woman he met at the door that was still on the bed with him. “I don't have it figured out yet”. She told him out loud, after putting him in suspense. He actually thought she had something to say.“Then why did you raise my hopes up, only to dash it so soon.if you had a way like you proposed, all you have to do is spill it out not keep me in suspense”.“I do have something in mind, but I have to gather my thoughts properly before giving you any
Outside the passage looked different as it was already lighted up with bulbs unlike when he first came in and no one had turned on their bulbs. It made the place look less scary and gave it a good sense of appeal. Although it was much brighter, there was not much difference as the light only made him see some ugly parts he did not see before.Jessica was in front of him leading the way like the leader of the boys scout, the way she walked made him believe she actually lived here all her life. Only a person familiar with the environment would walk the way she did.She followed a path different from the one he took when coming and he drew her attention to it. “We are actually going the wrong way, that is not where I packed my car”. Jessica laughed at his statement, but didn't say anything. She got to another part of the neighborhood where people where busy drinking, smoking and commiting all manners of atrocities. Pius didn't like the place one bit. The women gave him inviting looks and
Not wanting to dwell on the conversation from which he eaves dropped earlier before leaving the house, Pius stiffled his mind from stopping at the entrance of father's library to hear more words that would taunt his person. So he headed straight for the room. In the library, things were not going so well for the McPherson's couple.Robinson was not pleased with his wife's outburst at all. He gets that she is angry, but declaring that she would go against him because of their son was just out of the line.“Don't start what you can't finish Elizabeth, I'll advise against that, we can't afford a family squabble right now”.Elizabeth was not listening, her mind was made up. She had ensured far too long because she choose to let peace reign in her house, but this was not the kind of peaceful existence she envisaged, and she was not happy about it. She felt she was not respected enough by her husband. “Don't advise me on what to do and what not to do?. I'm putting my foot on this one Robins
Robinson sighed, further comments about Pius inability would mean he had accepted that his son was a lost cause, but he still wasn't satisfied with her resuming work as president. She had been out of the picture for so long, and it could not just be Pius's issue that is making her yearn for a sport in the business, something was amiss and he was going to find out. He knew better than to continue asking her questions which would only make her hide deeper. Just like him Elizabeth was also very smart and has a very high Intuition when it comes to business strategy. Together the two of them could have tripled the consortium by how it is which would seem impossible to mist people but it was the truth. She has her own strengths.Before she became just a silent partner he had reservations about her which he didn't open to anybody. She was really powerful and he didn't want her to overthrow him and become chairman. Yes, money can do that to anybody and that's why he believes her when she said
