“Is that so? Well, Mr. Scofield, it will interest you to know that the Banks family is in need of a bodyguard and since you're a retired soldier and isn't fully booked with jobs. What do you think about getting employed at the Banks family's residence?” She was simply doing what her father wanted of her.Upon hearing the offer, Eleanor's eyes widened. Working in the Banks residence meant extra millions! “My son-in-law is interested! Yes! Yes! Yes! He'd take the job! I know the pay is mind-blowing! He'd take it! I heard employees there get paid the minimum of 70 thousand.” Tasha chuckled slightly, “With Mr. Scofield it's going to be different because he'd be the one to tell us the amount he wants to be paid. It's really up to him to decide if he's willing to do the job.” Tasha had no idea who Miller was but with her observation and how much her father wants him close? She was sure he deserves every penny. He had this aura that could tell he was surely close to the supreme god of war.
It was 11pm and the Grant family were set to leave the retort as they weren't meant to be in the vicinity till 12am. Most of the family members packed their stuff and bags into the van, in preparation to exit the place to their house while Paxton was still laying on the floor in his drunken state. Master Franco was still having a conversation with Ms. Tasha while old lady Christina and a few family members were slowly walking to the van. One could think they were already feeling sleepy and just wanted to head back home.“I'd do well to talk to my son-in-law by dawn… I'm sure he's just drunk and has no idea of a single thing he's saying…” Master Franco said as they all walked towards the van.“Haha, Mr. Scofield doesn't seem like someone who's drunk to me. Isn't he the one driving?” Tasha asked as they shifted her gaze to Miller who was on the driver's seat.Miller was literally waiting for them to occupy the van so he could drive them all back home. If he doesn't do it, would it be
“Thank you very much, Grandpa! God! I can't thank you enough… oh! Thank you…I really appreciate this!!!” Megan jumped for joy.“It's nothing, it's nothing… it's the least I could do to support your small family…” Megan was jobless, and so was her foolish husband, it was best he helped them out before they both died in silence.“This is so thoughtful of you, grandpa! Oh my… When can I go see it?” Megan was excited as she wiped her tears of joy.She was the new CEO of Grant imports! “As soon as you sign the papers of ownership. Everything has been transferred to your name.” Master Franco said, handing the pen to her.“Are you serious?” Megan's eyes widened in disbelief. “I just have to put my signature?” She collects the pen as her grandfather nodded.“Sign, here… here… here… here… and here.” He showed her the spot to filled in her signature which she did without thinking twice or even taking that much glance at it… the headings which says, “Transfer of ownership” and her name which wa
“Where are you going? You just arrived, didn't you? Come wifey… you know I don't like it when we fight.” Miller rushes over to her and grabs her hands.Master Franco is up to something, more like Miller smelled something fishy in the whole arrangement.“Listen to me okay? Why don't you just allow me to do a quick investigation on…”“Forget it, Miller. Tomorrow is my first day of work and I'm going to start with or without your approval.” Megan just waved it off and excused herself out of the room.The next morning...Miller was up before Megan. He had a meeting with the god of war in this province and he had to be there in less than one hour.He prepared little Aliyah for school and when the bus driver came to pick her up, he helped her get into the bus.By the time he got back into the apartment, Megan was already up and taking her shower. When she was done, Miller smiled and urged her to eat the food he prepared for her but her response was, “I'm not hungry. You can as well eat it.
“What?!” Megan shouted, her heart beating loudly in her chest. “What do you mean there's no truck? What are you talking about?!” Her heart started pounding loudly against her chest. What the hell was happening?!The manager was calm, “I don't know how else to explain, but I think Mr. Grant let you know that the company has been facing a major setback for 3 years now?” Megan's heart sank upon hearing this. Her heart pounded loudly and her head buzzed. She gasped, trying to process what she had just heard.“Explain what? He didn't… tell me… he never said anything to me…” Her heart broke into a million pieces.“That there has been no supplier in the pass three years and we only produced wine to store it in the factory...“ There hasn't been a single sale for years now.Megan gasped.... Then in that case, how does her grandpa pay this people?! “Wait… how much is your salary? And these people? How many workers are here in total?” Megan panicked. Her eyes were red with anger.She couldn't
With a heavy heart and a furious expression, Megan left the factory. As she arrives home, she storms into her family's mansion, not bothering to drop her stuff at her apartment. She was extremely angry, and with her tone, one could tell that she had lost her cool.“Where is Old master Franco?” Megan was quick to ask one of the maids.“No idea, ma'am.” The lady bowed and walked away.Megan looked around and noticed how quiet and empty the house was. It was either everyone was in their room, or they all went to work… or wherever! Megan didn't care.She quickly took the stairs, up to her grandfather's room but he wasn't there.She was extremely raging and with the debts she now has on her head, she desperately wants to give her grandpa his company back! Miller saw this… her husband knew her grandfather's sudden kindness towards her was too good to be true!“Grandpa?” She called out but there was no response. It seems he wasn't in!Just then she saw one of her cousins walking into her roo
Just then, she saw two maids walking past her. She didn't wanna ask as she didn't wanna get the, ‘I have no idea, ma'am’ Response from them just like the other maid she asked earlier.But the highest she could get was nothing, so she just stopped and asked.“Have any of you seen Old master Franco?” She asked. “Or do you have the slightest idea where he went? Or if he would be back today?” One of the maids shook her head in confusion while the other simply said, “I saw him earlier this morning in his study. I have no idea if he's still there.” “Okay, thank you.” Megan heaved a deep sigh and walked down to her grandfather's study.She stood at the door, heaving a deep breath, hoping deep down that he was there as she was already fed up with the entire situation.She didn't bother knocking, she simply stormed into the place and to her surprise, he was there.He leaned on his seat, reading a history book with his old glasses on.“Is greediness not a disease, Master Franco?!” Megan was q
“But… but Grandpa, you didn't tell me I was going to clear a thousand and one employees salary of a year plus!” Megan cried out.“It was in the documents you signed. Why would I tell you when you can always read it before you sign it? Did I also stop you from reading the documents?!!!” He shouted at her, his voice cold as ice.Megan was terrified at that moment. She had seen him angry before but not this side of him, he was furious!“Grandpa…. You're literally gaslighting me! You're using my stupidity against me!” Megan whimpered. Yes, she was foolish enough not to read before signing, but…. But… she was speechless. She was literally trapped; just like what Miller had said last night. She couldn't undo what she has done and worse? She couldn't clear a 800 million dollar debt!“You have to clear the 800 million debt…”She demanded he clear the outstanding debts but he objected; stating she signed the papers and can’t go back on the deal.“Get out, and go make some money…. Remember jus
