Violet stood fuming on the porch of their elegant family home, her frustration boiling over like a cauldron on a hot stove. Her cousin, Lucas, stood before her, his expression a mixture of confusion and defensiveness. The afternoon sun beat down mercilessly, mirroring the intensity of their exchange."You imbecile!" Violet spat, her voice dripping with venom. "How could you bring that incompetent fool into our home?"Lucas recoiled at her words, his brow furrowing in disbelief. "I didn't know things would turn out like this, Vi," he protested weakly. "He seemed legitimate, and he assured me he had connections to the CEO."Violet scoffed, her anger unabated. "Connections? More like delusions of grandeur! That so-called secretary of his nearly caused a riot in our living room with his empty promises and half-baked schemes."Lucas shook his head, his frustration mounting. "I had no idea he would act so unprofessionally. I thought he could help us secure the investment from CW Investment
Lily leaned in, excitement dancing in her eyes. "Violet, I've got some intriguing news. Oliver is quite taken with you, and he's also interested in investing in your father's business. It's like hitting two birds with one stone!"Violet, caught off guard by the unexpected twist, raised an eyebrow. "Really? This is about business for him?"Lily nodded enthusiastically, "Absolutely! He sees potential in the company and believes in your father's vision. Plus, he genuinely likes you. It's a win-win situation."Violet's mind raced, processing the information. "So, he's interested in me and the investment?"Lily grinned, "Yes, it's like a perfect alignment of stars. You get support for your father's business, and maybe a little romance on the side. What do you think?"As Violet pondered the proposal, Lily's eyes sparkled with mischief, thrilled by the prospect of weaving together the threads of business and romance for her friend.Violet didn't care about the romance, all she wanted was an
Cephas strolled down the upscale avenue, his steps measured and deliberate. His eyes scanned the elegant storefronts that lined the street, each one boasting the latest in high fashion and luxury. He adjusted the collar of his designer jacket, a subtle flex of his own affluence as he approached a boutique adorned with sleek, minimalist signage that spelled out "Elysium."Pushing open the glass door, Cephas stepped into the pristine interior of the boutique. Soft lighting cast a warm glow over rows of meticulously arranged clothing racks, each piece more opulent than the last. A sales associate, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, looked up from his clipboard and met Cephas's gaze with a practiced smile."Good afternoon, sir. Welcome to Elysium. How may I assist you today?" the salesman inquired, his tone oozing with polished charm.Cephas returned the smile, though his eyes gleamed with a quiet confidence. "I'm in the market for some new attire. Something... exquisite."The salesma
“Boss, there is something I would like to discuss with you.” Jose said as soon as Cephas arrived in the home that he had given to him and Anta. “What is that?” Cephas replied to him as he scrambled through the wardrobe to pick a suitable outfit.“I think I know the real reason why the chairman wants you home.” He said.Taken aback by his statement, he reduced the pace at which he used to ransack his wardrobe. “What is that?” he asked with curiosity.“The Walter Corporation is in it’s reds.” Jose announced to him.“That is none of my business. I am only going to see him because of Tyla. he probably knows that I am aware that Tyla is not dead.” Cephas as he finally picked out an outfit.“It has to do with what I was going to do today. The Chairman is going to ask you to receive the company in order to find out where she is.” Joose said.“What! Did my father think I would fall for his schemes againn? Anta has found Tyla, hasn’t she?”“Yes, she has. We are cureenlty working on your tr
Cephas arrived at his father’s private residence . It was heavily guarded which was like him. Though his father loved the idea of tight security, it has never been up to this extent.What exactly was his fear.he walked to the entrance , Goofy, the family driver was at the entrance, he was probably the only one amongst the people outside that recognizeCephas.Most of the guards were new and did not obviously know him.As soon as Goofy sighted him, he moved closer to him and ushered him into the residence. “Good evening, young master. Thanks for coming, the Chairman has been waiting for you.”“How is your family, Goofy?” Cephas asked, ignoring that Goofy had said at first.“We are good sir. This is all thanks to the chairman.” “If he ever fires you, let come and work for me. No, he doesn’t need to fire you. Come and work for me, I will pay two times what my father offers.”“If I leave the chairman, who will take care of him? Zoro has gone and so have you too.”“Zoro left of his own w
“What are you doing in the Chairman’s office?” Sarah asked Cephas as soon as she entered the office.When she woke that morning, she read the office online bulletin that the chairman had named his successor and passed down all his shares to his only son Cephas Walter.“What does it look like dear sister?” Cephas stopped what he was doing to look at his sister. “You don’t even say hi to me anymore, lil sis. I didn’t know that we are on that level of hating.”“Answer my question and stop playing brother and sister with me, Cephas.”“I guess this is you severing the bond between us. It means I can be as ruthless as I want to you Sarah. I won’t be having mercy on you in the future.” Cephas said calmly which made Sarah more angry. “You think you can still revive this company just because you are the magnate, huh? Well for your information, I have ruined it beyond your capacity and you can't even put it back together.” She scoffed.“Stealing from a company is the worst way to ruin a compan
“About that letter…” Tyla’s mom trailed off. “Uhn.. I mean the threat text you received. Is it still bothering you?” She fidgeted with her fingers as she wasn't too sure if she could just stay silent over that kind of issue. It had been on her mind since she told hher about it but she was trying her best not to make a big deal about it.She knew her daughter so well, for the text to have weighed her down, it would be twice for her daughter. That kind of text would frighten anyone.“Hmm, a bit. Why? Are you still thinking about it? You told me not to think about it.” Tyla took her eyes off her laptop. She had been sitting in one spot since she woke up monitoring her online shop. The orders had been so much but since she had mastered the act of monitoring her business by herself in the past, it wasn’t hard for her to do. She wasn't thinking about the issue because she had something else to do which is helping her get her mind off things. her mom was glad about the distractions but th
“Ma!” Abraham called as soon as she entered his mom’s office. “You daughter has finally gone mad.” he screamed. “Are you sure you didn’t pick her up from the street or anything? Is she really your daughter?” He undid his tie and flung it on the chair. He was so livid that his sister tried to play smart with them. She had offered help them with their plan claiming that they were family. She was following every single step of their plan and made it seem like the money was sitting in their mother's account. At first he thought she was going to betray them and got back on Cephas' side. he knew so well that his step brother was capable of planting her by their side but she was doing all of that for herself.“What’s going on?” Ruth asked . What did that brat do again? Is she trying to help your brother again? I won't be surprised if she is doing that because she really made us trust her. That must be the reason why that brat had revealed himself to the world.” Just as he thought, his moth
