“To have a very clean job that won't be traced, the boys need more time to run some investigations on how to carry out Jack's elimination,” Scott explained and then proposed.“Boss, I suggest that while we are still on the plan to get Jack down, what about strategically launching a campaign, maybe for an upcoming political position you would want to vie for? I think that will help you regain some power and influence.”“It seems like you don't get it; I have lost dignity in politics, and also, the public has turned against me. Besides, which political party is going to accept me? They are all saying that I'm not safe around their children. How else do you want me to explain to you?” Mr. Andrew narrated through gritted teeth.“So sorry, boss. I understand. Sorry for trying to get things wrong.”“It's fine.” Mr. Andrew just realized something that flashed through his mind, and he said, “I feel for my daughter right now. Did you think I overreacted?”Scott was scared to let Mr. Andrew kno
“Attention passengers,” the captain announced, "this is your captain speaking. We are currently beginning our descent into New York City. We expect to touch down in approximately 10 minutes. Please turn off all portable electronic devices and stow them away at this time. In preparation for landing, please ensure your seat belt is fastened snugly, and your tray table is returned to its upright position. If you have any loose belongings, please stow them under your seat or in the overhead compartment. We will have the cabin lights dimmed shortly after landing. The weather is relatively sunny, with a temperature in the 60s°F (around 15 °C).“Lastly, the flight attendants will be coming around shortly to collect any remaining trash. Thank you for choosing British Airways, and we hope you enjoyed your flight,” the captain concluded.Not long after, the plane landed, and the air hostesses made way for the few passengers in business class to exit first before those in economy class.Richard
Officer Wilfred turned to Richard and asked, “Do you want to put me in order? Don't you know he is the airport director, Commissioner Ken, and is entitled to decide my stay here?”Richard was shocked by what he heard, and at the same time, he had the feeling he had spoken to the director wrongly, but he still couldn't apologize. Even if he did, that may not have changed anything anyway.The ones Richard referred to as boys were the law enforcement officials the man got from the headquarters.“Please, sir, forgive my ill manners.” Officer Wilfred apologized again to Mr. Ken, but Richard seemed unmoved.“Do you wish to do your job properly, or do you want the boys I brought from the headquarters to do that?”“I will do the job, sir. Please give me a second chance,” Officer Wilfred pleaded.“We have to commence that as we head to the secure search room. And any form of incriminating move from you will be punished severely by the government. For your notice, I doubled the surveillance foo
“Hi, Jasmine.”“Hello, Blade,” Jasmine replied as soon as she picked up the call.“Were you able to get back today like you envisaged?” Blade asked.“Yes, I did. In the afternoon, though.”“Ok, that's fine. How is your brother?”“He is fine. We came back together, but he is at his place currently.”“Ok, that's fine. My boss said I should get the lawyer’s phone number from you, the one you mentioned to us the other time.”“I knew you wanted to say something. You haven't called me and asked me how I am doing,” Jasmine teased. “I knew you were driving at something. So, which of them, if I ask?”“That's hilarious how you would say that anyway,” he chuckled and continued, “the one you explained to us the other day that the Late Lord Rock hired to oppose in the court case against one of the shareholders in the incorporation was having something to do with hard drugs.”“Oh, you mean barrister Lucas Joseph?”“I think so, but you should know better. I can't remember the name, to be precise, bu
Mr. Moe had gone to see the barrister he heard would oversee his son's case in a court trial. Everything happened so fast that a date has been fixed for the court appearance, as the barrister has already presented the case to the court for approval.At that moment, Mr. Moe went to Barrister Lucas Joseph's office. “Please come inside and have a seat,” Barrister Lucas said, gesturing Mr. Moe to a seat, just directly opposite him, with an executive office table in-between the two of them.Mr. Moe's outfit was on point as it spelled nothing less than luxury, with a whiff of fragrance that could snap anyone back to their senses.“Thank you, Barrister,” Mr. Moe said to him as soon as he sat down.The barrister glanced at him and then said, “So, what brings you to my office, Mr. Moe?”“Oh! You could still remember my name. That's cool; you must indeed be a brilliant man,” Mr. Moe proclaimed with a chuckle.“Why not? Of course, I do.” The corner of the barrister's mouth curled into a sneer, w
“Good evening, Mum,” Jasmine greeted as soon as she got back home from work.Her mom had visited New York without any prior knowledge of neither Nick nor Jasmine. Nick only called Jasmine like 50 minutes ago while she was still at work and informed her that he was taking their mom to her house from his place.Jasmine tried to inquire from his brother why the sudden visit, but Nick explained to her that she is as shocked as she is. Their mom called Nick the moment she got to New York to come pick her up, and Nick did.“I am not trying to sound rude, but the truth is that this visit is quite impromptu, and you know that. You would have at least informed us, let's say, a day or so before coming. That's my candid opinion, Mum,” Jasmine said on a clear note. “What if none of us were in town? Or you didn't think of that?”“Where would you guys leave New York for, in the first place?” Their mom replied, not ready to see the reasons for what Jasmine was saying."But, Mum, that's true. Anythi
Late in the evening, Jack came out to his usual relaxing spot to receive some fresh air. He was looking at the beauty of New York from the top view, where he sat with a glass of wine as he helped himself from the bottle of wine placed on a table.In no time, Blade joined him. He was quite certain Jack would be at no other place than his usual relaxing spot after Jack returned from work, and tomorrow would be the weekend, which means that Jack won't be going to work the next day.“Oh, you are here? I thought as much,” Blade said immediately, spotting Jack as he approached close.“Good evening, Blade,” Jack said after he swallowed a gulp of the wine and took his cup down to the table.“Good evening, Boss.”“How are you?” Jack asked.“I am good. Thank you. How was work today?”“Very well. Thanks, man.”“That's fine,” Blade responded as soon as he had a seat, just beside Jack.“What's the update so far on Richard?“Nothing much more than that; he will be going to court on Monday, which is
Jack got dressed in a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes designed by the company for him, and then in footwear from Prada.Blade had tried to talk him into wearing some designed outfit from these companies, stating to him that one’s outfit goes a long way to speaking for them even before they talk. In Blade’s words, “you must not always dress simple; sometimes dress to kill because you are addressed the way you are dressed.”Jack drove off from his mission and headed to Jasmine’s house with his tinted window Royce Rolls, just at noon.On getting there and trying to pack his car at the garage, he noticed Jasmine alighting from her car after she carefully parked. Jasmine’s mom—Mrs. Winifred—was with Jasmine in the car, but Jack didn't notice her at first because of the parking space arrangement.Mrs. Winifred only admired the car as it drove in while Jasmine was about to pack her car and said to her daughter, “This is the kind of car my son will buy for me now that he is the senator, or if his
