Jasmine tapped through the computer keys placed on her officer's table, her eyes glued to the screen. She heard a slight knock on her door. “Yes, come in,” she responded.She had been informed a few minutes ago by her secretary that Mr. Joe was here to see her.Since Mr. Joe is now an investor in the corporation, he doesn't need to book a special appointment before coming. She only needs to call Jasmine over the phone and come or get to the incorporation while Jasmine’s secretary announces his arrival.Mr. Joe, on his end, luckily got access to one of the guys who worked at the IT unit.Thank goodness, it was a bit easier than he had earlier envisaged. This person has promised to work with him, and Mr. Joe, in return, has offered him a considerable sum and even promised him more if he keeps everything to himself as much as he can. He was so excited that gaining access to the inner space was accomplished.So, he was looking all delighted, knowing that getting the company stock informat
Just like a flash, Mr. Joe was already at Mr. Moe’s place.As usual, one of the house aides announced Joe’s arrival to Mr. Moe, and the latter asked the aide to let Mr. Joe in.Mr. Moe was having some nice discussions with Jasper on something interestingly private when Mr. Joe walked into his favorite space.“You look so excited, and this way, I am quite sure there is good news. Please let me know what the good news is all about,” Mr. Moe said the moment he sighted Mr. Joe approaching his usual spot, used for the entertainment of guests and relaxation.This was no time for exchanging pleasantries; Mr. Joe went straight to the point of excitement. “Of course, there is good news, sir.”He had a hard drive with him, and he had already transferred the file on the stock statement Jasmine had sent to her to the hard drive.“This is the incorporation’s stock information,” he said as he handed it to Mr. Moe.“Great, this is splendid.” Mr. Moe collected the hard drive and then abruptly remembe
“Good day, ma’am,” the chief of the IT department of the incorporation greeted as soon as he got into Jasmine’s office.“Please do have a seat,” Jasmine said as she gestured to him.“Thank you.”“What is the problem? I hope we are not about to experience a network glitch,” Jasmine teased as she still wondered what must have brought the chief of the IT department to her office unexpectedly this afternoon. “How is work going from your end?” Jasmine went ahead to ask.He smiled and replied, “Very well, ma’am. Thank you. I have something to disclose to you,” the man said.Jasmine lent her ear as she understood what must have brought the man to her office; it should be something significant.“I am all ears; go on,” Jasmine replied with her eyes fixed on him.“There is this man identified as the latest investor we have here.”With that, Jasmine’s interest peaked. Trying to connect the relationship between Mr. Joe and their employee.“What is wrong with him?”“Well, one of the boys had repor
As Jasmine grabbed her phone to dial Jack’s number, her heart raced. What Jack had said to her earlier and given her instructions on, was beginning to surface.Anyway, it was not her fault. At first, everything looked great—a productive and profitable investment—but they were all falling apart from being a truly successful investment. Now, a tiny mischief and greedy scheme about Mr. Joe had caught her eye, and it all started to make sickening sense to her.Just as the phone rang so it could get connected to Jack, her heart beat increased its pacing, and her pulse quickened.Simultaneously, at Jack’s office, he tapped away at his keyboard, his brow furrowed in concentration as he kept accessing some financial auditing of his clients. His fingers flew across the keyboard, navigating through some financial data.He noticed his phone was ringing and picked it up. “Hello, Jasmine,” he answered cautiously.Jasmine couldn't speak at first as her gut churned with a mixture of fear and determi
Not so long after Jack was off the call with Jasmine. He picked up the phone from the table where he had placed it, so he he can dial a number from his contact list.As usual, being his right-hand man, Blade was the only one he could confidently call in moments like this.And you know, the good thing is that he is always eager to help, and not just that, but returns with a perfect, helpful result.Immediately after Blade picked up the call, his voice could be heard from the other end: "Good day, boss.”“Same to you,” Jack responded, and went straight to the point: “I need every detail about Mr. Joe.” He said, his voice firm.Initially, Blade had wanted to do that even before now, but Jack had stopped him, stating that it had not been called for.But notwithstanding, Blade didn't question any of those things; he only had the urge to know why the sudden change of mind occurred.“Boss, why did you finally accept that I should do this?”“Mr. Joe had finally made a visible attempt,” Jack r
Jack got back after seeing Jasmine and Ray; he laid on the bed facing upwards. And then he rose from his bed to undress. A lot was going on in his mind, and he needed to wave some things off with a cold bath in the shower.As he was about to pull his trousers, a knock on the door interrupted him, and he paused on the spot. “Who is there?” In his instinct, he guessed it was Blade, but he had to ask to confirm, as he had already instructed the house aide that he wouldn't be having dinner. Somehow, he had lost his appetite.“It's me, Blade,” he replied.“Ok, then. Come in.” Jack had noticed Blade wasn't at home when he got back, but he couldn't wait a second to relate everything to Blade. Even though he knew Blade might be busy with his investigation.Jack knew the more informed Blade was, the faster it was to get feedback. So, since Blade wasn't at home, he decided to go get a shower after resting while thinking on his bed for what seemed like 20 minutes or so.As Blade stepped in, he
In the early evening, Mr. Andrew was passing through Nancy’s office and then decided to hop in to give Nancy a surprise visit.He wouldn't be available the next day to see her, which is the weekend. So now is the best time to check up on her if he must do that before the following week, as Nancy should be near closing for the day.When Scott drove him inside the company premises, he asked Scott to wait for him in the car.As soon as Mr. Andrew stepped inside the company, the receptionist welcomed him with a broad smile.“You can go to see her in the office; she is free now,” Nancy’s office personal assistant said to Mr. Andrew as soon as he noticed he came around.Mr. Andrew climbed the stairs and then walked straight to Nancy’s office. As he knocked, it took some time before Nancy responded to come and open the door, which made Mr. Andrew wonder what kept her busy. But whatever it is, as long as Nancy was okay, then it's okay.So, he didn't care to ask her when she finally opened the
On that very Friday evening, Jack had also come back home before Scott.It seems like, when Blade said that it would be ‘a long day for him,’ then he meant it. Because, as much as Jack knew it, Blade left the house like 2 hours before the prior left for work by 7 a.m. that morning.So, when Jack got back from work, he quickly took his shower and then tried to have dinner, but he just ate a little as he didn't have much appetite. At least, better than the previous day, anyway.He went straight to his usual spot in the house, where he has a beautiful view of the city. Of course, Blade could easily locate where he is once he gets back.In a very brief moment, Blade was already back. He went to Jack’s room first, but he wasn't there, then he headed straight to the very spot as Jack had envisaged. Even without asking the housekeepers where Jack was, Blade was certain that it was his boss's favorite spot for resting if he wasn't found in his room.“Greetings, Young Master,” Blade greeted th
