Chapter 12 "Did you know," Albert's voice reverberated through the walls of his office, his frustration visible. "You're inside my office? You don't intrude on my working place!" In response, a hearty chuckle escaped from my lips, filling the room with a sudden burst of lightheartedness. Susan, swiftly shifted her gaze towards me, her eyes widening in a mixture of shock and curiosity. The shock on her face spoke volumes, a perfect reflection of her surprise. "What's he doing here?" Susan's voice was filled with disbelief, her eyes darting between Albert and me. "Did you both plan this?" Her surprise was vividly displayed on her face, unable to conceal her confusion. "Leave my office!" Albert's stern command echoed through the room, his voice leaving no room for argument. "We will talk later once I close from work." Despite his demand, Susan seemed undeterred as she stepped closer towards me, her determination clear. "You planned this with him, right?" Her accusation hung heavil
Chapter 13Stephen POVI take a deep breath, then start to inspect the machinery. I studied the controls, the wiring, and the moving parts. I can feel the eyes of the workers on me, but I try to block them out and focus on the task at hand. Then, I notice something, a loose wire. It's out of place, and I have a feeling that's what's causing the problem. I reach out and carefully adjust the wire, then wait to see if it works.After a few tense seconds, the machinery starts to rumble to life. The workers let out a collective sigh of relief, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I did it! The assembly line is running again. But there's no time to celebrate; there's still work to be done. I turn to the workers and say,"Let's get this line back up and running! It's nice meeting you all. I'm Stephen Owen, one of the new interns." I smiled, and they gave me a warm welcome. I feel so honored and dignified. This is the least respect I have gotten so far. I feel a tinge of release after th
Chapter 14."Why, Sir?" I replied with a puzzled expression, as I wasn't sure why President Karen would suddenly change my supervisor. He gave me a stern glare."She has heard about what you did at the company today, so she wants you to have a different superior." His words were filled with anger and annoyance, causing me to scoff in disbelief. As I let out a laugh, he shot me a warning look. "Why are you laughing? Have you forgotten that I am still your boss? Don't do anything that will make me angry. I also know how to pull some strings to get you out of here. I am just trying to be kind," he replied, asserting his authority. I simply nodded my head."You don't respond with a nod, I expect you to reply with your voice," he stated firmly, causing me to let out a scoff in response. "May I take my leave now?" I asked, attempting to maintain a polite manner despite feeling frustrated. "Yes, you may leave. But before you go, do you genuinely believe Susan is pregnant?" he asked, an al
Third person POVStephen was being beaten so badly as pain surged through every part of his body that he couldn't stand on his feet. He winced in pain as he couldn't stop shooting her a menacing glare. The hatred in him grew as he tried to stand up but staggered."Didn't I warn you? I thought you had renewed hope; that's why you've been running your mouth. But this is all you will always get." He was angry by her display of power, the feeling to strangle her to death grew, and for the umpteeth time, he gulped down nothing."But you should be aware that this isn't over yet, my judgment on you will be fierce, and I will make you suffer because I now have an a strength. I am going to crush you to your own feet. You will seek mercy, but none will find you. I will bring down everything that made you and lessen your arrogance. You will pay for everything, all the pain you made me pass through." His words sent some shivers down her spine, but she tends to be unshaken, and she burst into laug
Stephen POV"How are you gonna do that? Is that even possible?" President Karen asked unbelievably, her voice clear with disbelief. I chuckled loudly, a mischievous glint in my eyes. The room grew tense. "Don't underestimate me," I replied confidently, a cunning smile playing on my lips. "I have their secrets, I know so much about them." President Karen couldn't help but exhale sharply, her doubt briefly overshadowed by curiosity. And then, out of the blue, President Karen hit me with a question that caught me off guard. "Did you love Susan?" Her voice was no longer filled with doubt but with a genuine sense of intrigue. My mind raced, searching for the right words to steer this delicate terrain. The unexpectedness of her question added an electric charge to the room, leaving both of us vulnerable in its wake. "Love?" I hesitated, contemplating my response. "I think I was starting to love her before," I admitted, my voice tinged with a hint of longing. "But she's a complicated pers
"Or else what?" My Voice filled with anger, which escalated the room."Do you just yell at me?" I burst into laughter."Mr. Clinton, time has passed, this is a new me. Stop daydreaming, if you tried anything, you might be apologetic about it." I hanged up the phone and dropped the telephone on the table, reminiscing about my past I used to be a shadow of myself, taking him and his household first just due to the fact they had been wealthy, but it's all over now. I tried to consume it up, I wager I lost my appetite, but I couldn't see myself wasting a persons effort. She had taken her time to put together this and i can't waste it, and moreover, why shouldn't i eat? I cannot starve for those people; they are not really worth it. I digged into the meals and I by no means launched it. I completed the food within some minutes. I bet I was starving. After eating, I decided to put my time into getting to know matters about business. I know I am smart enough to control the company, however a
I dashed inside the changing room and change Into the engineering cloth, I look at myself in the mirror to check if my hair isn't messed up, I am someone that loves fashion, but I can't do that when I don't have the money, right? I need to do something fun after work today, maybe going shopping with president Karen, she's a very good woman and I see her as my mother, I hope my mother is as open as she's. My phone ring out loud and I brought it out from the pocket before swiping on the answer button."Good morning, father," I replied, the warmth in my voice reaching his ears as he chuckled on the other end of the line. "I didn't reach out to you yesterday, and you decided not to call either. I wanted to see if you would initiate the contact, but instead, you chose to call your mother," he playfully remarked. And I chuckled in response. "I apologize, father. I was occupied with various tasks yesterday, which prevented me from making the call. I sincerely apologize for not reaching out
Chapter 19"Sir," I said, my voice determined yet respectful, "you should at least listen to what I have to say." As the words left my lips, he scoffed loudly. "What did you have to say?" he retorted, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Is it not the same old story? I'm done with your company, and that president of yours dared to humiliate me," he says, his words filled with a mix of fury and intrigue. I couldn't help but question the veracity of his claims. The president, Karen, whom I knew, seemed incapable of such malicious acts."I am not here to repeat the old story. Can we have a conversation, even just for a few moments? I promise not to take up too much of your time," I said calmly, determined to engage him in a meaningful discussion. His gaze locked onto mine for what seemed like an eternity before he let out a scoff. "You're new to the company, right?" he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. "I haven't seen your face before," he remarked, observing me with a slight nod of
