“Hello.” Tyla said into the phone, she had received a text from Anta that they would be contacting her soon. “Tyla..” Cephas breathed it on the phone.“Cephas?” she asked in shock she didn’t expect it to be him. “How have you been? Where did you go to?”“It’s a long story. How have you been? Is California alright?How is your mom?” “She’s good. She is fine.”“My father has told me everything . Stay rest assured. I will come for you soon.” He assured her. “I have my men around you.”“You know where I stay?”“Yes! I have started looking for you since I found out your death news was fake.”“They told you I was dead?”“That’s what my family told me. I am trying to get you reinstated as soon as possible. Walter’s corporation is in a lot of trouble right now.” “Is there anywhere I can help?”“Just go on with the investment process. Anta will reach out to you for brand deals for the Walters corporation. Will you help us promote our stocks?”“Sure! You don’t need to ask.”“Okay. She will sen
The sterile scent of the hospital hung heavy in the air as Cephas entered the room where his father lay, weakened by the relentless assault of cancer. The machines hummed softly, monitoring the vital signs of the man who had been a beacon of strength in Cephas's life. The room, bathed in the soft glow of dim lights that seemed to reflect the dull energy in the room. "Hey, Dad," Cephas greeted, his voice a mixture of warmth and concern. His father, frail but still possessing a spark of resilience in his eyes, managed a small smile. "Cephas, my boy. Come, sit. There's much to discuss." His heart warmed up to his dad, it was the first time his father has spoken to him kindly. He had addressed him as 'my boy.' a statement he had wanted to hear since he was a teen. Cephas took a seat by his father's bedside, the plastic chair creaking beneath him. He studied the lines etched on his father's face, evidence of a life well-lived and battles bravely fought. It was a stark contrast to the
“Do you still think you can have the company toYourself?” Cephas asked his sister who was sitting in his office Chair when he got in. He thought to himself to get his office new lock.“I can do anything as long as I set my mind to it Cephas. You should know me to that extent.”“Why did you do that to Tyla, she is fucking innocent. She has nothing to do with our family.”“You cared for her, didn’t you? It won’t hurt to scratch what you loved the most.”“You were not like this in the past, you even helped me when I was in the lion's den. You kept in contact with me.”“I did that out of free will? No! I was keeping you in check so I could carry out my plan on time and deal with you properly after.”“There are better ways to go at this. Reasonable ways instead of settling for cheap tricks like this. Unless you think you are not a worthy opponent against me.” He said.She laughed out loud. “No matter how you try to stop me, Cephas. I will take this company from you or destroy it just like
“Arrgh.” Sarah yelled when she entered Zoro’s office. Her husband’s office was her safe space. He’s the only who could really understand her.“What’s wrong? What did Cephas say?” Zoro asked concernedly. It wasn’t a surprise that she was that way.He knew that was likely how she would behave when she told him that she was going to wait for Cephas in his office.She had plan to threaten him, but he knew that would make Cephas tighten up his lose ends. He knew Cephas so well that if the young master was opened to having close friends, Zoro would have qualified as one.The chairman often communicated through him to Cephas about work with little or no direction. Zoro had worked extra hours, to put up pointers for Cephas to work with.The pointers that he had picked up from the chairman’s meetings. “He doesn’t seem shaken at all. He knows what he is doing, I’m no match for him.” She groaned in anger. “I just need something to use against him.” She complained.Though she didn’t like to hear
“Sarah and Abraham are silent these days. What are they up to?” Cephas asked Anta. He had gone to visit the couple so they could work together from home.“They are trying to see what we can do within a month. The secretary I planted in Mrs Sarah’s office told me that while the one in Mr Abraham’s office told me he hasn’t been coming in to work.” Anta reported dutifully.“We need to shake them up a little. They are so relaxed besides we need to distract them so that they won’t sabotage our revival plans.” Cephas said.“What do you intend for us to do?” Jose asked.“Jose, I think you should bring in the financial crimes organization to come and do a search with a warrant at the financial department.” Cephas instructed.“They might arrest Mrs Steel-Walter in that process.” Jose said.“Yes, Abraham will be busy with that and her daughter will be looking for ways to not get caught or snitched on by her family members.” Cephas said while he flicked his fingers like he was calculating some st
“Do you think we should tell him?” Jose asked his fiancé over the phone. “Will he be able to take the news well?” He asked with great concern for his boss.He had gone to Walter’s corporation after turning off their lights and their cctv camera from his laptop. His programming skills were already great enough to do that, snooping around NEOTUBE surely paid off for him.He had traced the coordinates to a member of the Walters family’s officesShock can’t be the best word to express what he felt but he knew that he didn’t see it coming.Just before the security team clock in he managed to leave the building.“We have no choice but to tell him. He will be angry if we don’t inform him. Miss Sarah has done so much damage already.” Anta said.Cephas was going to be very angry if he found out later and this wasn’t the right time to hide things from him. It isn’t fair that they kept him in the dark.“Why are you hiding from me?” Cephas asked as he entered CW investment company.Anta takes so
Cephas and his team were in the boardroom room, looking through the heap of paperwork. Sarah stormed into the boardroom. “What do you think you are doing?” Jose yelled immediately. “You are not supposed to be here.”“I’m here to see my brother.” She yelled back at him. “Will you let me come in?”“I’m sorry but no one is allowed to come in here. I can’t let you in.” Jose insisted.“You bloody peasant. You can’t stop me from coming inside.” She said,Cephas got up from where he was sitting and went to the door. “Seeing how you can’t maintain professionalism, how exactly do you intend on overthrowing Abraham as the CEO?”“Who says I want a measly position of a CEO. The company is going to be mine. You will not find whatever you think you are looking for.” She threatened.“I didn’t say I was looking for anything. Your husband should have told you that I came to check if you were good enough to be the CEO of Walter's corporation. Since you head this place.”“Now that you said I can’t find
“Why did you just let her apologize to me, sir? We could have gotten proper evidence to use against her during the board meeting. What if she asks to remove you as the Chairman during the board meeting.” Jose lamented as he sat in the passenger's seat.Cephas chose to drive when they were leaving the office. “I chose to join the audit team for a reason. I already picked out what we need to use in the next meeting. There is no need to be worked up.”He brought out a squeezed paper from his pocket and gave it to Jose. “Send this to Anta to analyze.”“What is this?” Jose asked as he was unable to read what was on the paper. “Encrypted papers, my sister’s speciality. She learned how to write them a long time ago. It might lead us to a clue.”“How do you know Anta could analyze it sir? I didn’t even know that she possessed that skill.”“It was in her CV. I literally remember everything about you guys. I didn’t just agree to let you guys walk with me. You possess the best skills.”“Thank
