"Blake?"His assistant never called him during the weekends except if it was important, that was the protocol. He wondered what had gone wrong."Good afternoon Sir. I apologize for interrupting your Sunday but there's something you have to see", Blake rushed his words like a madman."What is it?", Omar questioned. His assistant was not one to call for irrelevances.Blake swallowed the lump in his throat, he had nothing to do with the problem but he was terrified to bring to the notice of his boss, but that was the right thing to do, he couldn't just allow someone to shut down the business."Sir, I found something fishy, you need to see

His phones rang incessantly, more mails popped up, his voice assistant wouldn't stop talking, the intercom buzzed repeatedly. Omar himself is found around all the mess as he talked to a man on the phone. "Ha, Mister man, you need not worry. You know I always take care of the bills". Omar ignored the state of his office. He too felt like a mess. After dealing with his drama queen aka Farah, he had dressed in a fine tailored suit to find his missing money on a Monday morning. The girl wouldn't allow him to leave home, it almost felt like he was a single dad. He chuckled at the memory and all other ones they had created."Don't worry. Mister man, I will get everything ready. Everything ready for your magic hands", Omar said as he laughed.Mister man is a friend he met at a bar, who understands numbers better than any man Omar's ever known. In other words, the man is a genius.Omar wanted him to look at the records and spot the hints he may have overlooked."Now do not patronize me. S

They hadn't heard from him since Sunday and wondered what had gone wrong. They met at a restaurant and ordered light meals with only Joseph having the appetite of a wolverine."How are you both doing?" Fyodor looked from one friend to another. He didn't know of his friends but he did not feel happy at all.Joseph raised his head to look at his friends before bending again to enjoy his food.Omar sighed and ate a pea, "Someone is stealing from my company"."Someone?" Fyodor shook his head. It was totally unbelievable."Here I thought I'm the only one with problems. But my issue is quite manageable, might I add"Omar rolled his eyes, sometimes Fyodor could sound like Fyodor."How much? How much ha

"I think it's…", Sophia intentionally paused her speech to taunt Angela."Yes? Sophia? Are you still there?", Angela questioned further. She had sent Sophia a report she had written and badly needed someone to review before she hit the SEND button."It's eye-catching!", Sophia screamed and raised unnecessary attention as other customers turned to give her a disapproving look."So many people are going to read about Mellie and it's all thanks to the reporter who wrote a great script". Sophia unheeded the onlookers and continued, "So my sweetheart, you can share it with the public". "You are the best!" Angela. squealed and hung up.Sophia smiled to herself proudly. Yes!

He cleared his voice and wore a cheerful grin on his face before saying solemnly, "Come in".Joseph lost his youthful grin at once when the wrong people made appearance. "Ha ha bro, were you expecting Angela. You were laughing like an idiot and even dressed like one", Omar laughed at his friend who sat majestically on his seat as CEO."Hola!", Fyodor had taken a great liking to Sophia's greeting. He sat himself down on a seat and dropped a throw pillow on his laps to get comfortable."What are you too doing here?", Joseph asked obviously pissed. He was expecting to see Angela and had make sure his whole office was tidy-like it were dirty before. He even went ahead to wear a new suit and styled his hair. He looked like an expensive, handsome piece of art and he knew it.Joseph had asked the press station at which Angela worked to get another interview. It was easy to get one as he was a good friend of the News director and he also made a generous donation in return for the one and onl

"What all investors are looking forward to, is to raise funds. No one wants to-", James coughed into his handkerchief and continued from where he stopped."No one wants to lose money when he should be earning".He coughed a few more times and received sympathy from the other occupants of the table."Gentlemen, it's my cue to-", he coughed a few more times and stood to his feet."I should take my leave. My body isn't as strong as it used to be. A common cold can cause quite a scene". A few people laughed at his silly joke. James smiled as well and retraced his steps to the bathroom, he coughed a few more times into his handkerchief and inspected the once clean handkerchief when the cough had relieved him a little. Blood. It was expected. He always coughed out blood.He hurriedly retrieved his pills and swallowed them. When he felt composed enough, he made his way to the entrance and got into his ride."To the house, please". He breathed out loudly as soon as the familiar warmth of th

"We know what they buy, why not give it to them at a cheaper rate. Give their needs to them at a cheaper price with a high quality"."Hmmm. You think it will work?", Joseph stroked his chin and rose to his full height as he contemplated the advice one of the sales managers offered."It ought to yield positive results sir", another said.Joseph raised the paper that contained records of the target customer's patronage. They always had no issue with the customer but all of a sudden they had been questioning the quality and price of the goods.There is no doubt that some other company has been trying to win them over.He scanned the paper like he had not checked a couple of times before. They always bought from them, every single year, he was curious if this year would be different."Or we can ponder a few more minutes on it before returning to our busy schedules", he suggested.He sat back down and kept the records within his view like it would help in any way."Sir, Miss Angela Davis i

"And you are?", Mrs Benjamin asked in a condescending tone, she was irritated by the mere presence of the girl, to top it all, the girl wouldn't even show some respect. Angela shared nervous glances between the woman and Joseph. She didn't know how to introduce herself.She looked to Joseph for help but he had his eyes closed like one who was frustrated."Angela. I'm his girlfriend".Joseph's eyes shut open at once. Angela had ruined things altogether. He was hoping to send her out softly before throwing the other woman out with hurtful words. But now…Angela smiled and said more confidently, "He's my boyfriend".She had wanted to introduce herself as an entertainment reporter that she is, but changed her mind when she saw how Joseph's mood turned sour upon the arrival of the older woman.
