The chairman of Walter’s corporation, Cephas’ father returned to the country as soon as the shareholders called for a meeting, ruining his plans of getting a week’s rest after the business affairs.It ended sooner than he expected. Knowing that Cephas wasn’t in office, he could not trust anyone else with the company for so long. In addition to Sarah's absence, the company might crash before they realize what's going on.He had left his daughter in France to finish up their business deals there and give the final speech during the summit.He was supposed to do it but he asked Sarah to do it. He walked briskly into the company unexpectedly. No one knew he was going to be present for the meeting.Fully aware that the company’s profit rate was declining and they lost a billion dollars, more chaos was bound to come. He had personally received reports from his close acquaintances that had sub companies that the head company wasn’t resolving their issues.He could have asked Cephas to work o
75Zoro opened the door to Cephas’ ward. He was sleeping in the hospital bed with his arms wrapped around a woman who had a smaller frame than him. “Good morning sir.'' Zoro greeted him knowing he would wake up immediately. He knew that Cephas was a light sleeper.“Zoro?” Cephas replied without opening his eyes or letting go of the women he was holding.“Sir?”“Is this important? If it is not, kindly wait for a while, she needs to sleep, she barely slept all night.” “I am afraid it is very important. The chairman is back in the country, and he wants you at the shareholder’s meeting right away.”“He has suspended me from work already. Why does he want me to come back? Don’t tell me the reason. I am not coming.”“Theu shareholders are going to use your memory loss to throw you off your position.”“They can pick a new CEO or COO, I don’t care.”“The chairman forecasted that they want you off the Magnate seat.”“What!” Cephas jerked up as Zoro dropped the bomb. Tyla woke in the process
“You just sat there and watched your husband play smart on me,'' Abraham yelled at the top of his voice. He was shocked to the bone when he saw his brother walk into the boardroom hale and hearty.He was so sure that Cephas was sick, they had spoken and interacted a few times, he had never been so sure about something.“This wasn’t my fault, I was so shocked.” His mother said truthfully. No one in the board room would say they weren’t shocked with the move her husband pulled in the morning.“So what happened?” he barked again. His anger filled him, his anger management class was almost failing him as he was about to smash his moms huge TV screen on the floor, he knew she would never stop talking about it if he never shared the consequences.“Will you calm your nerves, let's talk like adults or I will leave this place.” His mother said , trying to calm him down. “I am sorry mom, I just lost it for a minute. I am really sorry.”“Better. My sources told me that he had an accident yester
“Boss.” Jose yelled as he ran to hug Cephas tightly. Jose,” Anta sucked in air from her teeth but her over excited partner didn’t let go of their boss. She understood his concern and worriedness for their boss.They had spent almost three months with him and all of a sudden, he did not remember them anymore. It was like a nightmare to them. There was no one to give them orders and directive on what to do, they were on their own, doing what he would have asked them to do if he was around.“Good afternoon, Jose, Anta, one might think we are strangers.” He said and Jos let go of him.“Good afternoon Big Boss, I am sorry that I might not be able to embrace just like Jose did but I feel the same way as him. It was so weird having to work without you for two weeks. You didn’t even remember us.”“I am sorry that happened. I am back now and I am not going back to that stage ever.”“We will always be at your side at all times so it never happens again to a beautiful soul like you.” Jose assu
Cephas opened the door to his room and saw that Violet was lying on the bed, scrolling through her phone. He was holding a bag of gifts.“Hey," she yelled as soon as she saw him. She got up from the bed and hugged him right before taking the bags from him.“These are for you.” He said, planting a kiss on her lips.“For me?”“Yes, I need to go to the bathroom real quick.”“Okay.”Just then her phone rang, Violet picked and saw that it was her mom that was on the phone.“Violet, guess what just happened?” Her mom asked immediately she picked the phone up.“What happened?”“Our properties just came back to us and the bank had extended our loan repayment dates.”“That is great news, I told you I was having someone work on it.”“How did you do it?” Her mom asked from her own end. Just then Abraham came out of the toilet .“I will talk to you later. Bye.” she hung up immediately.“Who was that?”“My parents. They just contacted me to say that they have given them back their building.” Viole
“Brother,” Sarah screamed, running towards Cephas who was holding a bouquet of flowers. She had been scheduled to arrive during the weekend, so she contacted him to come and pick her up inside of her boyfriend. She had missed him so much and couldn't wait to see him. She had heard about his accidents and had been worried sick about him. She had almost canceled some of her meetings and flew back if not for her father. He would have asked why she was leaving and she didn't want him to start asking questions .“You are squeezing my neck.” He groaned and struggled to unwrap her hand from his neck.She hit him hard on his chest continuously. “You almost died, how many days did i spend outside the country and something that huge already happened to you?”“I am so sorry.” he apologized to her.“Your assistants had told me about it since it happened, do you know how hard it was to keep it from father? I would have even fired them if not for your own safety.”“Thank you for not firing them,
“It has been a while since we last gathered together for a meal.” Ruth commented as she dug into her food.Her husband cleared his throat. “It feels good for all of us to be gathered here to eat like this, we should do this all the time.”“I am too busy working my ass off so that I can save money and give myself the best life I want to have with the love of my life without anyone's help or support.’’ Sarah said to rile her mom up as she sipped some wine from her glass so she could get in the mood to drag things out with her mom.She already knew that she could not have a normal conversation with her mother without yelling and storming out of the house.“You are not talking about your father’s assistant are you?” Her mother asked as her anger level was beginning to rise.The men just focused on their food as they paid close attention to the mother and daughter with their ears. They didn’t want to interfere so that the topic of conversation wouldn’t shift and be on them.“Yes, him. Zor
Cephas got out of the car in front of his house after work and dismissed most of the bodyguards that were following him, he left two of them on duty in case there was another attack on his life or anything dangerous. He had learnt his lesson not to be too carefree with his safety anymore, he didn't want to go through that experience again.He stationed one of them at the door of his house and the other one in front of his room before he went into his room.He took off his tie, then suddenly he heard his phone ringing. His heart skipped a beat in the hopes that it was Tyla who was calling, he looked forward to hearing her voice every time his phone rang.He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID and was very disappointed to see Violet’s name flash on the screen. He didn’t know what she wanted and he wasn't ready to hear her annoying voice again. She had spoken rudely to Tyla at the hospital and it had annoyed him.He refused to pick up the call, but she was unrelenting as
