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

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

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

    A seventy percent share? That is too outrageous! The Nike family members present in the meeting were all dazed. They haven't yet assimilated the fact that he was the President of Prime company. Now this?Certainly, it was already a lot for the Nike family to swallow, everything looked like a nightmare to them now. A seventy percent share was a big blow to the control of the company.Grandpa Nike stared for a while in regret. So after all, Charles was telling the truth. The one whom they always belittled, have risen to a mighty one now. Where in the world will Grandpa Nike, and the entire Nike family put their faces now?“A seventy percent share?! As the general manager of this company, I refuse to…”“Cindy, please step aside. We don't need any more of that.

    “Oh, okay, that's a good one to hear about. I will be on my way now.”Jade wasn't buying what Cindy told her, she knew Cindy was lying. Her sister made revelations about her and Brian, and she knows her sister very well, she wouldn't lie about such things.Cindy sighed in relief. She thought she had successfully fooled Jade to believe she was talking to a client. She said to herself, ‘I have to be careful now, or risk being caught.’She then sent a text to Brian, saying, “Let's meet at the usual point today by 5”Then she left for her office to arrange her things, and take them out, so the new General manager would bring in her things.***Sebastian got to the Prime Enterprise with Abigail and William Prime. “Goodday Sir, welcome.”“Welcome my President, and my vice.”Everyone who saw them coming into the company's premises, bowed and greeted them.

    “Oh, General manager, sorry I thought I would meet the General secretary. She asked to see me by this time.”It was one of the junior members of the staff. He knocked on the door, but Vivian did not notice. She was too absorbed in what she was doing.Vivian was so scared, she hung up the phone, she thought it was Abigail, only to see one of the junior members of the staff that walked in.“Okay, but as you can see, she is not in and I'm waiting for her as well. So go and come back later.” She sighed.The junior worker left and Vivian tried sending every record she got against Sebatian into the flash she took. She had to do it hurriedly to avoid someone else opening the office door again. Who knows this time, it could be Abigail.After she was done, she left without anyone seeing her. She got to her office and called Brian's number again.“Tell me Vivian, what have you got?” Brian asked immediately he picked up the call on his phone.Vivian was trying to bring it out in her system, thr

    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
