Chapter 44. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Chairman," she said, her voice tinged with fake sincerity. I crossed my legs, observing her closely before allowing a smirk to grace my face. "An apology isn't enough. What do you propose to do to restore my calm?" I asked, my tone firm but controlled. "One would think she's your mother. President Karen is slowly taking my son away from me," Mother's voice resonated, as she walked into the house. How did she even know I was here? The surprise evident in my expression."No, ma'am, I dare not. I wouldn't dream of taking him away from you," President Karen replied with a warm smile. "I've been searching everywhere for you, Stephen. Why are you still awake?" Mother asked. "I just felt like spending some time here with President Karen," i replied, my voice filled with a sense of fondness. Mother took a deep breath, processing his words. "And what about me? Don't you think we have a lot to catch up on?" she asked, her tone tinged with a mixture of hope
Chapter 45"What do you mean, sir?" He managed to let out, a surprise evident in his tone. And I could see how innocent he appears, perhaps he doesn't know about what's going on between me and Susan"I am sorry, sir, but I can't comprehend what you are talking about. How do you mean? Me and Susan stopped talking, as she had blocked my number on all her handles. I couldn't contact her, I don't know what she's up to," his words were laced with sincerity. A mix of shock and curiosity. I stood briskly and gulped down my lumps."Better find a way to caution her so that she's not going to put you in trouble; find a way to talk to her so that she will vacate my house. If not, you won't like me," I conceded, my tone laced with anger and frustration."I am sorry, Mr. Chairman. I will try my best to address the situation. Susan is always out of control; she doesn't listen to anyone. She only thinks about herself" His words add to my anger."Do it anyway you can, because I can't be taking care o
Chapter 46I was wondering what reply I would give her when my phone rings out, bringing the already tensed atmosphere to life."Sir, Mrs. Susan is right here; she said she's here to see you." My secretary said from teh other end, bringing in some confusion to the already escalated atmosphere."Don't let her in; tell her I am very busy and don't have time for her, and make sure to inform her that no one sees me without having an appointment with You" I hang up the call, gulping down my lumps."Who's that, Susan right? Nathalie asked, and I nodded my head in acknowledgement."You should let her in. I know how to put people like her in their place. Perhaps it's time for payback for what my brother has passed through in their hands" she said firmly, frustration evident in her eyes."You aren't going to do anything; this is a working environment, and personal matters shouldn't be brought in. We can do that when we are at home. We would respect the working environment without being biased.
Chapter 47Third person POVMike's eyes widened in shock as he listened to what Stephen said, did he just call his name?. He could hardly believe what he was hearing. Nathan had invited him to the shareholders meeting, but he never expected to be chosen as Stephen's personal assistant. Doubt gnawed at him, did Nathan really have that much faith in him? Amidst the murmurs and whispers of the room, one of the shareholders mustered the courage to speak up. "Excuse me, I have a question," he stammered, his voice trembling with a mix of uncertainty and curiosity. Stephen, noticing his intent, nodded his head encouragingly, giving the mam the permission to address the room."Why do you need two personal assistants?" The man questioned, his brow furrowing with a mix of curiosity and confusion. The words slipped out inadvertently, his genuine desire for understanding shining through. Rumors had reached their ears about the second assistant being an intern, still in the early stages of their
Chapter 48 "We are calling from the police station," the voice on the other end stated, an air of urgency in their tone. "Mr. Smith is here, and your president has given us your office number to contact you directly." Curiosity tinged Stephen's voice as he responded, "Oh, how may I help you?" "I am sorry, sir," the voice continued, maintaining a professional voice. "We need your presence at our station." Stephen paused for a moment, before replying "I'll be there in a few minutes," he assured them. "Hope no problem?" Mike asked, with a worried expression and nervousness on his face, his voice filled with concern. Stephen's response was swift and serious, "Mr. Smith has been arrested," he explained, his tone conveying a sense of urgency. "I need to be at the station, and you have to come with me." Mike's expression remained calm, "No problem, sir," he replied respectfully. "Hope you are going with the record?" he asked, his eyes fixed on Stephen. Stephen nodded firmly. Wit
Chapter 49"Why would I do that? I didn't have anything to do with the company after President Karen terminated everything we had, except for the fact that Albert always sent interns to me so as to convince me to come back" He scoffed at his skepticism as he blatantly refused the allegation."Mr. Smith, you should better speak up when we are still being nice. You might not like the outcome if you keep on denying this,l" Mike said firmly as Their gazes are filledvon each other."Who are you to tell me that? You are just a nobody, so stay out of this. When people of high caliber are talking, you should learn to stay out." His words are condescending and deceitful. Mike's expression shifted to a void one, and he felt hitting him hard on the face. But Stephen intervened."You have better mind the way you speak to the PA to the Chairman of the Logan, because you might regret it later." His voice was filled with anger. He chuckled wryly."I am starting to get pissed off by this act. I was o
Chapter 50Stephen POVI was amazed to see a stranger standing with Nathan. I didn't have an appointment, nor did we have a meeting soon. So I mustered up some courage and walked closer to them. Only to be greeted by that man. I shook hands with him with a mix of doubt and curiosity to know what exactly he wants."Mr. Chairman, meet Barrister Thomas, the family lawyer; he was called here by President Karen to help with the situation currently" I felt a sense of relief, realizing I was surrounded by doubt that wasn't necessary. President Karen is such a smart woman that she knows what to do at the right time. even when I didn't discuss anything with her."You are welcome, Barrister Thomas" I greeted in a composed manner as we both shook hands. Let's step in, I said, and we went into my office and settled to discuss the current issue at hand."Good day, Mr. Chairman, I must say that it's my pleasure that I will be working with you. I have been working for your father for the past few ye
Episode 51He hung up the call immediately. "Sir, you are here" his voice shaking."I have been here for some minutes, so what was that supposed to mean? If you aren't going to father her child, who did you expect to do that for you?" My tone demanded, and I chuckled skeptically."Not what you think, sir; I don't want to lose my fiance; I love her ality, and I have invested so much in her. I supported her all through the past six years, and when she suddenly wanted to leave me, I had to convince her in anyway I could. I don't even know how she got to know about this." His words hint with a mix of regret and weariness."Maybe you are having a taste of your own medicine. How palatable life serves you. It's good to see you also feeling the pain you make others past through. You succeeded in ruining people's relationships without thinking this life is a pendulum; it swings to wherever it suits it at the right time and sometimes at the wrong time. Don't joke with my intelligence; get your
