"Boss," Eleanor rushed to the office, panting heavily as she called out to the CEO."We are heading to the Shantel company," Jerome picked up his coat and headed out first, with Eleanor following. They drove to the Shanteo company. Due to the problem at hand, the CEO of the Shantel company had few of his employees come to work. When they arrived at the company, they went straight to the CEO's office."Mr. Jerome, you promised me everything was going to be alright?" Mr. Shantel questioned him the moment Jerome entered without asking him to sit down."Calm down, Mr. Shantel. That is why I am here," Jerome said in a calm voice."Calm down? How could you tell me to calm down? The matter has suddenly blown up, attracting the media's attention. How do you expect me to calm down?" Shantel roared. He felt angry looking at how calm Jerome was. He wished he could strangle him, but he knew no matter how powerful he was, he was not as powerful as the Cadell company."Mr. Shantel, can you sit down
"Rosca, it's been a long time since we met. Let's meet at our favorite restaurant," Eleanor called her friend the moment she was out of the company, still savoring the prospect of eating together."Good, now you have to remember you have a friend. I thought you had forgotten about me," Rosca complained like a child who felt wronged."Aww, my dear, you know how tiring it was when I was a servant, and it is now that I am the secretary of a big company.""Okay, I am waiting for you," she said and quickly walked to their favorite restaurant. The restaurant only served Ghanaian dishes, which had become her favorite after she returned from Africa. She would always drag Eleanor to the restaurant anytime she was free. It's been more than six months since they dined together. Although they usually communicated, it was always on the phone. Looking at the restaurant that hadn't changed and was still the same, she couldn't wait to taste their dishes."Since Eleanor hasn't arrived yet, let me orde
Eleanor lost concentration when Jerome was talking. She had overeaten and was in a difficult situation. She couldn't breathe properly or normally. She felt sluggish, lethargic, her stomach heavy and distended, and her thoughts fuzzy.After Jerome finished talking, he lifted his head and saw the uncomfortable look on Eleanor's face. "Eleanor, what is it?" he asked with a concerned tone."Erm, sir..." Eleanor, feeling uncomfortable, didn't know how to tell her boss that she had overeaten. "Gosh, sir would kill me if I tell him I overate while working. He would think I am not serious. What do I do?" Eleanor was lost in her thoughts, trying to find a reasonable answer."Eleanor!" Jerome's shout startled her."Sir, it's nothing big. Just some female issues."When he said that, Jerome didn't understand. He thought Eleanor was sick. "I see, let me call the doctor," he said and picked up his phone to dial the doctor's number."Please, it's so embarrassing to call the doctor over." Eleanor hel
Looking at his boss's chilly expression, Bright felt pity for the man and the mastermind.After the protesters demonstrated for almost five hours, they grew tired and decided to go home. Today was just an introduction; the real show will begin tomorrow."Yes, sir. Don't worry; the job will be done perfectly," Garry, the leader of the protesters, assured on a call with a strange number. Upon reaching his apartment, unlocking the door, and entering, Garry sensed someone in his room as the lights suddenly went out. Trying to use his flashlight, he realized the battery was dead, unnoticed during his conversation. A sense of foreboding overcame him, and in a panicked voice, he exclaimed, "Who is there?" Feeling an intense stare, he heard slow footsteps. "Do..n't come n..ear me!" he pleaded, holding up one hand.The footsteps continued, seemingly unaffected by his plea, until he struck Garry with the heel of his palm....Early in the morning, the protestors gathered in front of both Cadell
"Boss, I think your first uncle might be the mastermind," Bright guessed. His first uncle's strange reaction had raised suspicions; it was as if he couldn't wait to usurp Jerome's position."No, he isn't," Jerome shook his head. "My first uncle doesn't have the power to do that, and it's not his style. Even if I stepped down, he wouldn't be able to turn the situation around. I've been observing everyone's reactions, and I suspect none of them had a hand in what happened."Despite his suspicions, Jerome had remained quiet, hoping to figure out the culprit among his employees. He knew his first uncle wanted him out, but he didn't believe he would do anything to jeopardize the company.Bright drove Jerome to the basement, which was dark, dank, and had a musty smell that made it difficult to breathe. The rough, unfinished concrete walls were lined with rusty iron bars on the windows. The only light came from a single, flickering bulb hanging from the ceiling. In one corner, there was a na
My grandson, stay and dine with us in the evening," pleaded Jerome's grandfather. Jerome wanted to reject the offer; he didn't want to see the other family members. The only people who were good to him in this family were his second uncle and his grandfather. However, looking at his grandfather's pleading eyes, he had no choice but to nod."Oh, look who's here, Grandfather's favorite—the only heir of Cadell's Company, the one supposed to lift the company's reputation: the great Jerome Cadell." Jerome, peeling oranges for his grandfather, heard his second uncle's sarcastic voice but chose to ignore him, continuing to serve his grandfather."You didn't even greet me, and all you know is how to create trouble," his grandfather said with a disdainful tone."Grandfather, didn't you say your grandson was the best among us all? What happened?" His second uncle sat beside his grandfather, mocking Jerome."At least he's better than you. The stock price rose from thirteen percent to twenty perc
Jerome stood up and left."B… boss," Alaska attempted to speak, but Jerome had already departed. Alaska wanted to negotiate with him but had no chance."How do I get out of here?" Alaska pondered, walking around the house in search of an escape route. After an hour, he found nothing and grew hungry and tired. Seeking the kitchen, he discovered a variety of fruits and vegetables but no main dishes."Oh, this man is ruthless," Alaska thought. "How can he stock only fruits and vegetables without accompaniment? I'm stuck eating only fruit and vegetables for three days." Despite not reaching the three-day mark, Alaska was on the verge of tears. Accustomed to heavy food, surviving on fruits and vegetables felt like consuming candy."Boss, why did you seize his mobile phone? He could have contacted the man behind him, making it easy to trace him," Bright inquired."Contacting the mastermind will bring more trouble. He plans everything carefully without leaving any loopholes," Jerome explaine
"After the Cadell family found a solution to their problem, people thought there would be peace henceforth. Who knew another bomb was going to drop the following day? The Cook family, Clark family, and Alaska's family were on the verge of bankruptcy in just one night.Now, my lovely readers who had forgotten who the Cook and Clark family are, they are Isaac and Frederick, Jerome's classmates whom they met at the class gathering."Wait, this is terrible. Why would these three big families go bankrupt overnight?""I think they have offended some big shot.""Yeah, you are right. But who is it? Who is the big shot that can destroy one company in just a month?""Hey, you don't know. I heard Alaska was the technical leader in the Cadell company. He was the one who added some code to the fitness tracker which resulted in leaking users' data. I think the CEO of the Cadell company is behind this.""Wow, if it's true, then the CEO of the Cadell company is ruthless. And if it is so, what did the
