2024-05-07 06:08:45“Grandpa Nike, can I say something?”
The entire Nike family was silent at the moment. Almost everyone wanted to hear what this good for nothing son-in-law wants to say.“Don't just waste my time.” Grandpa Nike was interested too, to know what Sebatian have to say.Sebastian firmly said, “I promise I can help the company in the appropriate way, you don't need to listen to Brian's request.”.This live-in son-in-law spoke with certainty. Could it be that he indeed can help the Nike company from crisis?Brian did not believe the promise Sebatian just made. He smiled coldly, and said, “How can you do that? You can't even help yourself, and you want to help others.”Sebastian stretched his hand and pointed to himself. He then said, “I have enough money in my possession that can take the company out of crisis.”At the moment, it was so shocking to everyone that they kept silent, and said nothing.But after some time…“You?” Cindy was surprised at first. She then held her belly, and broke into a burst of laughter.Then, she she stopped laughing hard. She looked at grandpa Nike direction. “Grandpa, I thought this useless poor thing was just poor. But he's also very funny Grandpa.Immediately after Cindy said that to Grandpa Nike, Romy and Jade laughed too. They all looked at Sebastian line they were looking at a fool.Romy then said coldly, “How the hell will you produce such sum of money. You're just a live-in son-in-law.”Jade also mocked Sebastian, “I told you earlier that it you have such sum of money, I'll call you dad.”Luis became so furious with Sebastian, she stood up and said, “That's enough, enough with your jokes. Now go in there, and get your filthy things out!”“Sebastian, there's no need for all these. You shouldn't act based on what you're not, it might lead you to trouble some day.” Juliana appeared worried. She thought that Sebastian was doing too much already.All along, Juliana had never liked Brian, even when he decided to help the company from its crisis. Ever since Grandma Nike advised her to marry Sebastian, she had vowed never to divorce him.Brian glanced at Sebastian casually. The minute he saw how Juliana still cared for him from her speech, he could not hide his frustration. He said, “Get out already, you can never do what I can do, so pack your things and leave. Go stay with your rich friends you do beg from.”Immediately after Brian mocked Sebatian, it suddenly occurred to him that Brian must have gotten the two hundred million dollars from the investment funds meant for the company.It was during the investor meeting at the Prime Enterprise that it was agreed that the manager for the funds department will be in charge of the investment funds. Even when Brian was thrown out of the meeting, it was still agreed that the investment funds will go to his department.Sebatian was on his way out of the house when he looked straight at Brian. He said, “I promise you Brian, you'll definitely go bankrupt soon!”Suddenly there was another round of laughter and mockery from members of the Nike family.“You are also a magician?” Jade lied on the floor, laughing helplessly.“He's everything he wishes to be, what a waste of a man.”Sebastian was on his way out when he took out his old phone, and called Abigail. He requested for the latest statement of the investment funds within an hour.Abigail in turn called the Brian who was in charge of the investment funds to forward the statement of the investment funds within an hour.Immediately Brian received the call, he was so uncomfortable anymore. He said to himself, “Why this time, why now?”Brian knew he was in trouble, because the statement of the investment won't be balanced. He had transferred two hundred million dollars to another account, which would reflect on the statement of the investment funds.He wasn't ready to take back the cheque from the Nike family, he still cherish and relish the respect, and power given to him from the Nike family.After some while, Abigail called Brian's number again.“Brian, can you please forward the statement to me immediately, the President needs it.”Brian was shivering already. He didn't know where else to look, or what to do.”“Brian, are you okay, or is there something wrong?” Cindy noticed Brian being so uncomfortable all of a sudden.Brian's eye kept twitching while looking at the people of the Nike family. All was about to go wrong for Brian.After a while, the call from Abigail came yet again. Everyone present were wondering why Brian was getting so many call in a short moment.“Brian, I'm going to forward this case to the President. He had requested for the statement of the investment funds, yet you're delaying it.”“Please just give a little while.” Brian face was already sweaty. He thinks the worst is about to happen, he knows it will.Immediately Abigail threatened to forward the case, she hung up, and called Sebatian's number. She explained to Sebastian how Brian was unable to forward the statement to her.Grandpa noticed Brian's gesture too, he asked, “Brian, are you okay? You probably don't look fine.”“Never mind grandpa Nike, it's just work and it issues. I will be outside now, please excuse me.” He went outside to reflect on what else to do.On stepping outside, his phone rang yet again. He took a glance at who it was, and shivered the most.“Brian, what have I been told? You can't forward the statement of the investment funds? Now listen, everything will be taken away from you, your account and properties will be seized, frozen and liquidated. You'd better hope nothing has happened to the investment funds.”William Prime wasn't ready to joke around with Brian. He was ready to inflict pains in Brian if he had tempered with the investment funds.Everything Brian was trying to do to make things go right a bit, was not working. Things are about to get worse for him, and he definitely knows that.His phone beeped after a while, it was a message, not just one again, this time there were a series of messages on his phone coming in.He had a look at the phone, as he reads every message coming into his phone. Suddenly, the phone in his hand fell off from him unconsciously, he had his head in his hand.Hopelessly looking, he said, “The live-in son-in-law has just laid a powerful curse on me.”

While Brian was helplessly standing outside, grandpa Nike came out too, looking for him. With a very confused face, he said, “Brian, are you joking with the feelings of the Nike family? The cheque you gave us, I've just asked someone to check it. The cheque couldn't be cashed.”It is happening, the worst which he feared will happen has happened. Brian wasn't surprised to hear what grandpa Nike just told him. He was just surprised how quick things went against him.He has just gone bankrupt. Everything he owned has been frozen all of a sudden. He didn't know where else to hide from this catastrophe that has befallen him. In a thrice, he has just been pierced in the heart by William Prime.Grandpa Nike was really waiting for Brian's explanation on why the cheque cannot be cashed. As for the moment, Brian was quiet. He was obviously thinking of any believable lie to tell grandpa Nike.After a while, Brian smiled, and said, “Don't you worry Grandma Nike, it could be just a minor issue. I

Time was running out for the Nike family, as the company's crisis was still on their neck. The hope they once had from Brian had vanished in a flash. Grandpa Nike was totally deep in thought, another immediate alternative is what they seek or else, the company might be headed for doom. “What are we going to do next grandpa? We seriously need another solution.” Romy's hands were on his head, as he was also trying to think. “Maybe we should just ask other companies for help before things get out of hand.” “I would have said we take a huge amount of loan, but what if we end up not able to pay back?” “That's not a good idea if you asked me.” Suggestions of different kind were made, but none of them were preferred the best option. A company like the Nike company was probably big enough for such options that were made. Grandpa Nike came out of his deep thought, and said, “I think I heard one of you say we should meet other companies for help, right? “Yes Grandpa, I feel that is proba

Days have passed, and times have changed, but the situation at the Nike company remained unchanged. The day was closed for the presentation.It was the weekend, and Cindy was getting prepared for the presentation she had with the Prime Enterprise.She knew very well what was at stake, and the kind of enterprise she was going to present the project to. It was well known in the city of Lanchester how the Prime Enterprise was so strict in choosing the project in which to invest in.Everyone in the Nike company knew that if Cindy was able to pull this off, and thus get the two hundred million dollars needed by the company to end its crisis, then she'll surely not only cement her general manager position, but will also become prominent in the company too.For a while, the house was quiet, but not until a knock was heard at the door.“Who is it? A minute please.” Cindy walked with much pace with a glass of wine she was holding, to answer who was at the door.“Hello Cindy..” It was Sebastian

The day of the presentation came, Cindy was dressed in her charming way, she drove the BMW to Prime Enterprise with the most outstanding project of Nike company, even when she was a bit nervous.When she got to the Prime Enterprise, the person who responded to her was the General secretary, Abigail. “Hello, welcome to Prime Enterprise, how can we help you?”Cindy, who was wearing a smile, soon responded, “Thank you, please I would like to meet with the President.”“Oh, I'm so sorry the President is not on seat yet. But I can assure you he will be around later today. However, may I know the business you have for coming here today?”Cindy had a bad feeling. But she tried as hard as not to make the smile on her face varnish. “It's not really a big deal, I brought an outstanding project to present to him. I actually want the Enterprise to invest in this project.”“Hmm, that's a nice one you know. Abigail smiled. She took out a hardcover book, and handed it to Cindy. “Please, put in your

Cindy got to the Nike company, and went straight to the office of Grandpa Nike. She felt really humiliated today. She was still very furious in front of Grandpa Nike and Luis, she refused to even sit. What she faced at Prime Enterprise was never expected.Grandpa Nike stared at Cindy for sometime without saying anything to her. He saw her expression and couldn't help but think that something was definitely wrong.He said calmly as soon as he thought of this. “Cindy, please tell us. What was the result from the meeting with the President of Prime Enterprise?”Cindy couldn't respond to the question asked by grandpa Nike. She feared he might feel very disappointed with her, she was not even able to meet with the President of Prime Enterprise, talk more of a meeting.“Come on Cindy, have a seat and tell us what went wrong at the meeting today.” Luis inquired further as she was also curious to know what the outcome was.After a short while, Cindy then got a seat in the office, and sat down

It was the evening of another day. The entire Nike family was present for dinner, which involved William Prime. William Prime was so kind enough to honor the invitation given to him by Grandpa Nike. The members of the Nike family found it hard to believe that the Vice President of Prime Enterprise would honor their invitation. “Wow, I must confess you make nice and delicious delicacies here in this family. The food tasted so nice.” William Prime signed in satisfaction, he had no intention of hiding the taste of the food he had just eaten. In that instant, every member of the Nike family was extremely happy. William Prime was a man highly respected, and admired in the city of Lanchester. He was almost seen as a god by all. So the commendation he made based on the food, meant a whole lot to the entire Nike family. Grandpa Nike became much relaxed. He looked at William Prime with some sense of pride. He then said, “Thank you so much Chief Prime, I'm happy you enjoyed the meal. It

“Yes, he honored the invitation. I presented the project to him, and he said he liked it. He hasn't called yet to give us a feedback”Cindy was having a conversation with someone on the phone. But immediately hung up when she heard someone coming.Juliana, knocked and opened the office of Cindy. She went to submit a file based on the company's records for the week. The file was meant to be given to the general manager of the company every week.Cindy kept her phone carelessly on the table, as she picked up the file to confirm the records.“The record for Tuesday says it is incomplete, why?” Cindy was left in a state of bewilderment.Juliana, who was still on her feet, stretched out her finger, and pointed at a spot in the file. “Yes, this place says there was a change in staff member's position. That was the day you resumed as the general manager. So I think you left that place incomplete, not me, because it was your duty before it became mine.”The explanation Juliana gave got Cindy

The day was gobbling up, and the hour arrived. It was time for the agreement between the heads of the Prestigious company and the struggling company.Sebastian, the rejected son-in-law who now possesses so much power and wealth was ready to reveal his true identity to the Nike family, as he was set to go sign the agreement papers in the Nike company.Nike company was located in the West side of Lanchester city.His Uncle who had other engagements that morning, was early enough at the Enterprise to meet up with the agreed time. If Sebastian signs the papers today, sixty percent share of the Nike company will belong to him.William Prime was quite concerned about the proposal. He held his nephew's shoulder with one of his hands, and said, “Sebatian, are you sure sixty percent share is not just too much to ask from a struggling company?”Sebastian was speechless at first. He then looked at his Uncle with an expression of apathy, and replied “Don't you worry yourself Uncle, it's not too m

As Sebastian, Abigail, and William Prime left Prime Enterprise and entered the government building that housed the Director General's office, the tension was evident. The imposing tower served as a stark reminder of the power housed within. But they were all unwavering in their determination. There was nothing that would stop them from seeking answers.Clearly taken aback by their unexpected arrival, the front desk receptionist asked them to wait while she verified their meeting. They spoke briefly over the intercom, and then she pointed to two guards standing at a door further inside the structure."The Director General is expecting you," she announced nervously.The guards unlocked the doors and ushered them down a long corridor lined with pictures of former officials. Their resolve to face the man behind the questionable order echoed in every step of the seemingly endless walk. They finally came to a big oak door. After knocking twice, the guards forced it open, exposing the Dire

After hanging up the phone with Anthony, Sebastian sat still in his chair for a while, his thoughts racing with incredulity and frustration. Although there was a lot of tension in his office, he did not waste any time moping. He got up from his chair, grabbed his office phone, and called William Prime's extension. "Uncle William, please come to my office right away," Sebastian said in a stern and demanding tone. He hung up without waiting for a response, then dialed Abigail. "Abigail, please meet me in my office now. It is about the Nike lawsuit and the commissioner." --- In a matter of minutes, William Prime infiltrated Sebastian's office with a worried expression in place of his customary composure. Abigail trailed closely behind, her face displaying a mix of interest and anxiety. Although he was still standing and pacing close to his desk, Sebastian motioned for them to sit down. "I just got off the phone with Anthony," he said, his voice tight. "He told me that the

As he tapped on the holding cell's metal bars, the officer stared at Cindy, Romy, and Senior Nike. "You might want to hear this," he said in a casual yet excited tone. Senior Nike looked up from his seat, his face tired but intrigued. Cindy and Romy looked at each other, their faces hopeful but tense."So, what is it?" Senior Nike inquired, his voice steady despite the weight of their recent ordeal.The officer was holding up a phone. “Miss Angelina's work has been going above and beyond. The application for bail has been filed. Although it is not yet complete, it is a positive step.”As the words took hold, there was a brief pause in conversation. After that, the three felt a wave of relief as though a switch had been flipped. For the first time since their arrest, Senior Nike's stern manner softened as he exhaled deeply. Romy smiled with a mix of surprise and delight, and Cindy's face brightened as she clapped her hands together."We are leaving this place," Cindy declared, her vo

Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his jaw

In her office, Angelina’s phone rang. She picked it up immediately, recognizing her cousin’s number.“It’s done,” the Director General said in a low voice. “The commissioner has agreed to submit a request for bail, though it’s far from certain that the court will approve it.”A wave of relief washed over Angelina, but she knew better than to celebrate prematurely. “Thank you, cousin. I know this wasn’t easy.”“Just remember, Angelina,” he warned, “this could backfire on both of us. If the Nikes don’t show up for even a single hearing, we’ll be implicated in their escape, and the fallout will be devastating.”She nodded, though he couldn’t see her. “I understand. I’ll make sure they know the gravity of the situation. They won’t risk it.”As she hung up, Angelina sat back, her mind racing with the next steps. She was painfully aware of how high the stakes had risen, but she was determined to see this through. She dialed the Nikes, instructing them to be prepared for the bail hearing and

Angelina paced in her office, her mind spinning with possibilities. She knew the stakes were sky-high, and any chance she had to protect the Nikes was slipping away. Her only option now was to secure a bail for them, if only to keep their case out of the public eye for a little longer. Taking a deep breath, she dialed her cousin, the Director General, her fingers tightening around the phone as it rang.He answered after a few rings, his voice as calm and steady as ever. “Angelina, what is it now?”“Cousin,” she began, her voice steady but with an underlying urgency, “I need you to do something else for me. I know it’s a lot to ask, but please consider it.”He paused, as if bracing himself. “Go on.”“I need you to arrange bail for the Nike family,” she said, every word carefully measured. “If they’re kept in custody, their reputation will be tarnished beyond repair. Their businesses, their livelihoods, will crumble before they’ve even had a chance to defend themselves.”The Director Ge

Greene and his group charged into Gray's hiding place, braced for battle, their movements coordinated and soundless as they broke through the door and spread out. There was a strange stillness in the air, like the calm after a storm, and the room was oppressively dimly lit. They moved quickly, checking corners, staying vigilant, and keeping their weapons at the ready, but with every second that went by, the team felt more and more uneasy. Greene quickly realized that Gray was not present.Greene straightened, his jaw clenched in frustration as he looked around. He had thought Gray would be in the shadows, huddled in a corner, about to run. Rather, the space was lifeless, frigid, and empty, as though Gray had departed long before they did. Some papers were strewn about, a chair was overturned, and there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke, all evidence of hurried packing. He had definitely been here recently, but he had left before they could apprehend him.Greene took out his phon

Gray's pulse accelerated as he gazed at his phone, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles went white. He was taken aback by his private investigator's news, and a cold shiver went down his spine. He had been hoping for positive news, perhaps even proof that his adversaries were losing sight of him. Rather, it was a shock to learn that Elliot had given the special unit team a lead."Are you sure about this?" Gray demanded, attempting to maintain composure in spite of his growing panic. "To what extent do they know?"In order to emphasize the gravity of the situation, the investigator's voice was tense. "From what we can tell, sir, they are getting closer to where you are. Elliot's tip appears to be specific enough to give them a ballpark estimate of your location. The team has already mobilized and is probably currently on their way. There is not much time for you."Gray's thoughts were racing as he weighed his options, and his eyes were darting around the room. His hiding

As the day went on, Greene walked around the dark precinct office, reviewing all of the things he had said to Eliot. Despite his natural tendency to exercise caution, Greene was aware that Eliot's assistance might be crucial to destroying Gray ShelfHe looked down at the screen as the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. An unknown number. Greene answered, bracing himself as his heart began to race a bit."This is Detective Greene," he stated firmly."Detective," Eliot replied, maintaining the same guarded tone as before. "I have given it some thought. If you want my assistance with Gray, I have some conditions."Greene gripped the phone with clenched fingers. "Go ahead."After a brief silence, Eliot spoke again in a composed yet firm tone. "First and foremost, I do not want my name on any arrest lists. When this is finished, I will walk away clean. No trials or handcuffs. Second, I need to be compensated. A million dollars should be enough to cover the costs of risking my life. Fina
