Ciara had just arrived at work, walking into her office and just about settling down when her secretary walked in. "Mrs Van, Mr Van has a message tagged as urgent." The secretary responded by bringing out a letter from a pack of files in her hand."What message and from who?" Ciara had her brow raised as she said."I can't say, Mrs Van. The letter seems quite mysterious. I had seen the letter on my table this morning after I had arrived at work, and then I asked other workers, but no one knew who it was.""Why then is there CCTV if that can't help?" The news had raised Ciara's inquisitiveness. "Mrs Van. We did that, we did all of that, yet nothing was seen.""You mean you didn't find the identity of who dropped this on the CCTV footage?" Ciara was confused."We didn't, Mrs Van." A brief silence ensued between them, after which, she slowly began to open the letter."Ma, I don't think you should open it! What if it's a letter bomb?" The secretary crowd in panic.However, Ciara was sett
Edwin had sent a message to everyone of his team members including the lawyers, he needed each of them to be on the call, except Draco who had been exempted from bring on the call because he was still with his girlfriend.Since Draco had taken the initiative to inform them as regards Kimberly's arrival the next day, he saw a reason to make sure everything was put in place."Perry what's up with that side? Give me details, is there any problem and I hope everyone is in good condition ?" Edwin made sure he asked after each of them.Aside from the fact that they had a mission to fulfil, he always wanted to be sure that they were all good."Boss, everyone is good over here. Except Linda who refused to cease the tears. Her tears have intensified over the days." Perry explained wholeheartedly without holding anything back.Whilst Perry was giving a report, Mr Yen and even Ariana kept staring at him as though he were a god.They both had to wonder which boss would exist but then preferred t
"Even though you are off Klaus's radar for now, you are still wanted, so I need you to exercise a huge patience. Just act according to instructions, to make things easier for everyone.""Boss, I think I know how best to remove the wanted order from her." Mr Yen said."Sure, Mr Yen, you understand the law better than any of us here. You can share how we can go about it." Edwin the responded calmly."it's simple, boss. I will raise it before the jury and plead that the ban of wanted be lifted from my client.""Are you sure that will work? I don't really trust those law people." Edwin argued."It always works, boss. And as long as the judge looks critically into the case and there is no favouritism. Then it should work." Mr Yen explained to them, trying to make sure that they all understand."Mr Yen look into it for us then. I guess with all settled, we should be able to end this meeting. It's nice having you guys on board, trying to fight against corruption.""We are privileged to have
"Take me to the judge who is in charge of the case," Kimberly ordered Richard immediately, setting aside their bond of friendship."I… I have to check the database first, Mr Van. You would need to spare me some moments for that as I wouldn't know who the judge is." Richard responded immediately, turning to the laptop before him."I can't wait, get it done immediately." his voice was laced with impatience, he couldn't hold back the fact that he was tense. How would it be heard that a big shot like himself was facing court judgement and then was proved guilty?All he thought of at that point was protecting his image, he couldn't think less or more of that.Tapping his fingers repeatedly against the table while Richard hardly went through the system. For several moments, he didn't hesitate to ask Richard. "I'm impatiently waiting, haven't you found anything yet to tell me?" "If only you would be patient, Mr Van. I'm trying all I can to search the database carefully, but I can't seem to
Not until Ciara felt his arm tug at her waist, did she realise that there was trouble.She shuddered when his hands touched her, and her brows constricted from irritation.Why is he touching me? She told herself and at the same time was just about making an attempt to turn his hands off when she remembered he accused her of cheating.If she pulled herself out of his embrace, he was going to suspect her more.Deep down, she irritably said to herself. "Calm down Ciara. Accommodate him, it's all for a short time." she told herself.The following day, the court was buzzing with whispers from various people. Even Kimberly had wondered where the faces had come from.He wouldn't have told anyone except his immediate family members that he was going to undergo a trial. Looking around and seeing different faces whispering he was still confused as to where they had come from.Nevertheless, it was time he focused on the case at hand, he had to win it.One other thing was missing, the fact that h
Fuming in anger, he couldn't contain it anymore, his ego had been hurt and he felt he could burn down the whole city."Mr Van, if we would be working in cooperation together I think it's best that you follow my ins…""I don't take instructions from anyone. I’ve been in the business world since you were born and I've been facing cases on cases, so if you don't know how best to defend me then I think you either shut up or get relieved from your duties.,"Despite the fact that Brawly was trying to ignite a discussion so he could help, Kimberly's ego wouldn't allow a space for such.He wanted to control everyone at his fingertips and would want everyone to worship him as well.After considering and figuring out Kimberly's behaviour, Brawly decided to keep his low."Give me the name of that disrespectful judge." Kimberly's voice thundered."What judge Mr Van?" Brawly had already turned confused so he decided to ask so he could clarify."Are you dumb? What judge did we both meet with today?
"What if she doesn't have any dirt, what if she's clean?" Edwin asked Klaus he sought ways to discourage Klaus. Even though he knew it might not work, he still wanted to try."There is no harm in trying, is there? Moreover I don't intend to stain my relationship with the K5, it would go a long way to affect me…no one goes against them and remains alive. They are rulers, an unshakable power of the society." Klaus responded affirming his point of view."And if there is none, if no dirt is found, make sure to create one. It's her against us and we must win this time around." Klaus was clear enough after which he ended the call.Edwin gulped hard with the thought of how best he was going to get that done. This same lady is the only way to their salvation as well. Moreover, how would he destry her career just for the sake of some country crazy men.He shook the thought off, and then began to think of how he could accomplish his new mission. On a quick thought, the best person to do the jo
"What problem do we have here again?" Edwin sounded frustrated."Nothing, really, boss. I'm just so concerned about the reputation of the judge. It wouldn’t be fair to see the innocent woman suffer for what she never did. That is the real law and judgement.""You are right Tony. I understand that." Edwin sighed deeply before he then continued. "You know what, let's have this discussion tonight with everyone during facetime meeting.""Alright boss. Good idea.""You would need to excuse me now Tony, I need to settle Klaus.""We will be waiting for you by nightfall, boss." The call ended immediately.***** On the other hand, Xander had being the one staying with Linda. Since the moment they had repaired their relationship, its being difficult to let her out of his sight.Nervously resting against his lap while she awaited the court results."Still nervous, yeah?" Xander was reading a book but then his other hand was utilised to brush through her brown blonde hair to calm her down."I do
