"Sir, what do we do?" Bright asked.

"I am driving to the factory. Hire more than a hundred experts. I will talk to the president if he could give us another day. Call for an emergency meeting with the team. Also, meet the GTP CEO and offer a good deal. I want him to join us so we can finish the process."

"Ok, sir," Bright said and took one of Jerome's men's cars since he came with his boss.

Jerome called the Gambian president.

"Hello, Jerome, has my secretary arrived?" He asked.

"Not yet, Mr. President. But there is a problem we are facing right now. There is something wrong with the fabric, and we hope you will give us a day to resolve this issue," he said with a humble tone.

"What do you mean I should give you a day? You assured me everything was going to be done today. You said today was the last day. The designer is also waiting for the fabrics so she can start working on them now," the president said with a disappointed tone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President. Please just give us another

    After Anderson had finished negotiating with the president's secretary, he was in a great mood."Boss, how was the negotiation?" Anderson's secretary inquired."It went well. Everything was fine. I told you the plan was going to work," Anderson said proudly. He had been targeting the Caddel company for a long time. He planted a spy at Jerome's factory to gather information about their project progress. He had initially planned to destroy the fabrics, but Jerome unexpectedly sent them to the warehouse. Fortunately, he convinced the leader of the warehouse guards to join him.After the leader agreed, Anderson instructed him on what to do. The leader sent all of Jerome's men on an errand, and with Anderson's men, he damaged the shingles. Consequently, the roof leaked when it rained heavily. "Huh, he thought he was smart; he didn't know I would outsmart him." Anderson chuckled, thinking of how easily it was to convince the leader of the guards and how the job was done simply and perfectl

    "Don't worry, Mr. Secretary, I understand. We are businessmen and always go for something that would profit us. But it is not good to backstab us. How will the war end if war was to break out of our mistakes?" Even though Jerome's tone was calm, he clearly heard the hidden danger in his words. "You are right, Mr. Jerome. Don't worry, there will never be a war. We will be faithful to each other." He nodded continuously. Even his boss (the president) wouldn't be able to fight Jerome, not to talk of a mere secretary like him. "It's good that you understand. Can we go to check the fabrics?" Jerome inquired. "No, no, it's alright. I know you will do a good job. There is no need for me to bother myself. I trust you." He denied it quickly. He wanted to get out of his factory quickly. His present was suffocating him. "Is that so?" Jerome nodded in understanding, but his eyes were filled with mockery. It seems the president's secretary wasn't dumb after all. "Bright, tell the workers to pac

    No one dares to stop him. They tried to shrink into the shadows. This was the first time they had seen their boss so angry. They all swore to themselves not to betray him. After kicking him many times, Jerome felt this wasn't enough to make the rest learn their lesson."Where is your gun!" he asked Garry in a commanding tone."Boss, don't kill me, please," Garry knelt on the floor. Tears streamed down his cheeks. If he dies, he won't be able to see his daughter anymore. But he has forgotten that if he had succeeded, it would have been difficult for the Caddel company to stand on its feet again."Where is the gun!" He roared. His tone was like an angry lion looking for its prey.Each of the guards carries a gun with them in case they meet an opponent who is armed."Boss, please," he was shivering all over. No, he can't die.With a quick flick of his wrist, Jerome pulled a pistol from his suit jacket, pointing the gun at Garry's forehead. A heavy silence descended at the warehouse, brok

    As they ate, Eleanor suddenly froze, her fork hovering halfway to her mouth. She was staring at Jerome's face, her gaze intense and unblinking. He felt a sudden flush of heat rise to his cheeks, tempted to tell her to eat her dinner, but something stopped him. As he lifted his eyes to meet hers, he felt a strange sensation, as if the rest of the room had faded away, leaving only the two of them.Eleanor broke the silence, her voice barely above a whisper. "I've never seen anyone as handsome as you."'Ahem, ahem,' Jerome was speechless. His ears turned red as he faced the opposite direction to hide his blushed face.Eleanor couldn't help but notice the way Jerome's face had turned crimson at her compliment. She felt a wave of affection for him and was suddenly overcome with the urge to tease him. "What's the matter, Jerome?" she asked, her voice gentle but playful. "Never been called handsome before?" She watched as his ears turned red, and he shifted in his chair, clearly flustered. B

    The shadow was getting closer to her, Eleanor was about to run when she heard a familiar voice. "Hahaha, I didn't know you were such a coward. Hahaha," her neighbor laughed like a maniac. "What is so funny?" She rolled her eyes. "Well, I didn't know the great Eleanor was this coward." He said with a mocking tone. "I have been living with you for a year but I still don't know your name. How did you know mine?" She was surprised when. He called her name. "I heard one of your colleagues call out to you the other time. Who was the person that dropped you?" He asked. "Mr. Neighbor, we are in no position to know everything about each other." She said with an annoyed tone. "Relax, I mean no harm. As your neighbor, I should at least know one of your friends so I will be looking for them in case of an emergency." He said. "That also makes sense. Anyway, what is your name?" "Just call me Jack." He answered. "Ok, have a good day Jack." Eleanor waved at him and took the elevator to where

    Clenching his fist, Anderson said with a red eyes, "Jerome, I promise you will pay for it. You will pay for this with your life.""Hahaha, be my guest. I will be waiting," he replied without giving Anderson a chance to talk back. He hung up.Anderson stared at the hung-up call, holding his waist in frustration. "Damn it," he cursed, rubbing his hands through his head. He didn't know what to do. Everything is gone; everything is gone. "Hahaha, after fighting for my whole life and wasting my youth on the company, I lost everything in just one day."Anderson started laughing like a maniac. He walked to the passersby who had stopped due to the fire, grabbed a man's collar, and said, "Tell me, what did I do to deserve this? Isn't it funny? I lost everything, I lost everything, hahaha." Anderson shaking with anger shook the man continuously and spoke bitterly. Onlookers rushed to him, held him back, and the man quickly distanced himself to prevent another attack.Someone called an ambulance

    Eleanor's footsteps echoed in the hallway as she made her way to the school cafeteria. The scent of freshly cooked meals filled the air, enticing her senses. She eagerly joined the line, looking forward to a peaceful meal in the familiar surroundings of the cafeteria.As she balanced her tray and found a quiet spot, Eleanor's initial joy turned to unease as a group of her female employees approached. The atmosphere shifted, and a sense of tension settled over the table. They circled her like vultures, their words sharp and cutting.Lead bully, Vanessa, sneered, "Look who decided to join us today. What's the matter, Eleanor? Can't find your usual loner corner?"Eleanor tried to ignore the taunts, focusing on her lunch. The girls persisted, their laughter growing louder.Lily, one of Vanessa's sidekicks, mocked, "Maybe she's trying to make some friends. Too bad no one wants to be friends with a loser like her.""I heard she was a servant," another said."Who doesn't know she was a serva

The old master, however, was visibly distressed, sighing every few seconds out of worry and fear."Is there anywhere else you think he might be?" the old master asked Steve and Gaius."No," Daniel replied."Sir," a guard interrupted, entering the room."The cops are here," the guard reported.Sitting on the balcony upstairs, they watched as four cops entered, and the old master stood up expectantly."Any news?" he asked."We found this... by the bridge," one of the cops said, handing over a piece of note to the old master."What is this?" the old master asked, his hands shaking."It's a supposed suicide note written by your

Steve mumbled under his breath with a frown.Gaius helped him out by putting Jasmine's head on his shoulder and taking Steve's hand to stroke her hair gently. She came down shortly and Steve smiled, not long after sleep took over her and Steve positioned her well on the couch, allowing her head to sleep on his lap as he continued stroking her hair.Her beautiful face caught him and Steve began staring at her full eyebrows, nice nose, and such lovely lips too.

You wasted the money and showed your stupid face here like the burden you are, and now you want to kill him? I swear to anything you hold sacred, if you do not put that gun down, I promise you will regret it, little boy," James barked at him.In a normal circumstance, Stanley would have thrown the gun away as soon as James scolded him, but this time around, he had a smirk plastered on his face. He started laughing maniacally, showcasing his madness."You fool, do you think the little stunts you pull still affect me? Grow up, man. Those empty threats of yours don't affect me anymore.

    "How did all this happen right under my nose without my notice?" the old master said with shock."You have a good mindset, Grandpa, but it doesn't mean everybody's like you. James chose to take the part of envy. You did not choose for him, so do not blame yourself. As for Annika, she is just a green snake in the grass," Steve said, trying to calm the old man down."I knew that Annika's silence was a threat, but I never expected her to join forces with James. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised. I expected one thing or another from her," Jerome said without concern."Steve, can you tell me exactly how you managed to get them together?" the old man asked."Before grandma left this morning, I was with her in the house when James and Annika came down together, ready for work. I got suspicious, so I asked Grandma when the both of them became that close... She replied that it started not long ago, but from her speech, I could sense she was happy at the new bonding. I don't know why, but somehow

    Steve went straight to Cadell's company, needing to see Jerome immediately. He had been avoiding the fight that had arisen between himself and Jerome, but he was lucky enough Eleanor had talked to Jerome on his behalf, so they were fine now."Is your boss in?" Steve asked as he chanced upon Bright, who was just coming out of the elevator."Yes, he is in. Should I inform him about your arrival? He is currently in a meeting with the company board," Bright answered."Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for him in his office," Steve smiled.Bright escorted him to Jerome's office, offered him a glass of water, and excused himself to continue his work.James came in with Anika, rushing to the meeting room, which ended abruptly at their arrival. All the board members stared at them with disdain."Why are you just coming, Mr. James, and Miss Anika?"

She always has a new story to tell of her youthful days.Eleanor and Jerome had left early that morning because they had work."I do not see you busy of late," the old lady asked curiously."I took a break from work; my second-in-command is taking care of everything perfectly. He contacts me anytime he has difficulties," Steve explained."Okay, I was just wondering because the Steve I know is a busy person who has no time to spare," the old lady chuckled.There was silence in the room till the old lady spoke again."Why don't you use this opportunity and find yourself a lady who will take care of you?

Jerome asked."I have good news for you instead, the lady you asked me to be taking care of is awake," the doctor broke the news."Finally, I can rest. It took her long enough," Jerome breathed out."What should we do about her, Boss?" The doctor asked."We will come visit her tomorrow; it is already late," Jerome concluded."Allow her to be in the hospital for now; I will be sending someone over to bring anything she will need. Keep her for now till I come for her myself," Jerome instructed.The call ended, and he joined his family."What took you so long?" Eleanor pouted."Just business," he answered."Where are my grandparents?" Jerome asked."They said they had to go get some sleep, and also your grandfather said we should stay for the

    There was silence between the old man and his grandson, none of them was ready to talk. The old master was expecting his grandson to say something but the bitterness down his throat is preventing him from saying anything."Did you call me to sit here and watch you or you're going to say something," the old Master started to break the silence in the room."Why did you do that?" Jerome said simply."Can you talk in simple words? What do you mean by what you just said?" the old master replied."Why did you take such a decision and ask my friend to keep it away from me? It is not just anything this issue here, is something that involves my life. You should have at least told me about it if not for anything for the bond we share. Not for once have I taken any decision without telling you about it because I thought you were my everything and we have that kind of bond but then you proved me wrong," Jerome spoke bitterly."Why would you think that of me? You should listen to me at least, I
