Wasting no time, Douglas hurried towards Adam, and promptly got on his knees, hanging on to the hem of Adam’s trousers, he didn't care if they were old“Please Sir, I'm sorry. Please forgive my ignorance and incompetence, I promise to do better Sir. Please, Sir, do not be angry” apologising repeatedly as he grasped Adam’s stiff leg, Adam tried shaking his leg off his grip, but Douglas was adamant, he figured he had fucked up royally. “We were expecting an important personality today, but I didn't know it was you, if I did I would have addressed you properly Sir, please forgive my immaturity and ineptitude.”Logan, standing a few feet away could not understand what was happening, he couldn't fathom why his powerful boss would be cowering and begging his useless ex-brother-in-law“What are you doing Sir?” he muttered to himself in disbelief, as he disapprovingly stared at him He couldn't take it anymore, therefore he found himself rushing despite his pain, towards his boss and the usel
Logan looked on at Adam's retreating back in confusion, who the hell was Adam to threaten him, and what in God's name had come over him, giving him the guts to threaten and speak to him in that manner? "To hell with you Adam. There's absolutely nothing that you can do, convicted bastard. Ain't nobody displacing me from my job, not even you twat, I'd like to know w who the hell is giving you the morale to talk to me in the way you have done, and to humiliate me as much."He struggled to his feet, gaining a bit of his stamina back, he staggered lightly towards the entrance of the office, and as he did he thought aloud to himself, 'Let me see anyone, who would dare stop me from entering'Reaching the guard, who had an apprehensive look on him, Logan sneered at him as he approached. With hidden fear in his eyes, the guard walked towards him, “Mr Martins, you heard the order of that kind man, so please Sir, I ask that you leave this premises this moment” The guard approached him, and in
Logan felt giddy inside as he watched the car being parked. The person they had all been waiting for had finally arrived, and he was sure the man would have Adam thrown back into jail for trying to impersonate him in such a shabby manner. Unable to stop himself, he jumped up in excitement, a grin evident on his face“See Sir, I told you, this is obviously the person we were all waiting for and not that convicted impersonator” Pacing the ground, Douglas could not react nor blink as he looked on at the car, which was a limited model and even seemed to be customized. Both men watched in awe, their mouths opened, as the occupant of the car got down from the car. The man was dressed in a lovely white suit that screamed elegant, money and class. The jacket of his suit wasn't the conventional style, but a different one and it did suit the man, he looked like he was made for the suit, even the bowler hat that he wore spoke of too much money. Turning to glance at Douglas, Logan smirked as h
Inside, the office was abuzz with activities and with people gossiping about the earlier events of the day. Raul took it all in, as he watched the employees. The two parasitic fools who were in front of him, hurriedly shuffled in leading the way to his one-day office, smiling to himself, he sent a quick text to Young Master, Raul: Young Master, I have arrived at the office. Where are you, Sir? Sending it, his phone chimed with a response from Young Master almost immediately, he couldn't help the grin that crept up his face as he read the reply; Adam: I left via the secret door, don't bother looking for me. You know the plan already, just do what you have to do. Leave Logan Martin’s name and reputation in shambles in that office. Raul rubbed his palms in anticipation after reading the reply. Douglas, parasitic fool one rushed towards an office in the south wing, and promptly opened the door, leading the way“Here we are Sir, your dedicated office. I do hope it's to your liking. We
Raul silently stood by the entrance of the room, as he surveyed and observed the assembled staff, most of them sat fidgety in their seats, with their confused looks on their faces. He could hear their silent murmurings, wondering what the impromptu meeting was all aboutClearing his throat to announce his presence as he walked in, he proceeded into the room, feeling everyone’s eyes on him. He made his way to the front of the room, making sure to look at them all, and maintained facial contact, as he did, some of them quickly lowered their gazes causing Raul to smirk. With no iota of remorse in him, he apologised to them all, “Sorry to keep you all waiting. I apologise for my tardiness, it's not in my character.” He watched as they reacted to his apology, some nodded their heads, while the others had themselves on the edge, anticipating to know what the gathering was for. Well, he wasn't going to keep them waiting any longer, it was his utmost pleasure to inform them of the reason f
A different mix of emotions ran through Logan and Douglas as they stepped forward, Logan found himself sweating profusely and didn't like it. Behind the not-so-elegant man, a large projector had been set and Logan wondered why it was there as it hadn't been there before the meeting. Beads of sweat covered Douglas’ forehead and body, his whole shirt was damp. He silently berated himself for listening to the fool, he ought to have gone with his gut instincts, but now he was to be thoroughly and utterly humiliated before his subordinates. “Can you all please stand right in front of me and face the audience? Thank you”Raul instructed them when they all got to the front, smiling Raul looked at the audience and went on“Standing before you are the men and woman who have been pillars of Reels Limited, people who have in one way or the other contributed to the company’s growth or otherwise, and who today would be rewarded accordingly”As Raul spoke, Logan with his limp hand was unable to s
“How dare that savage lay his hands on you. What gives the lowlife the guts to treat you this way!” Dame Cecilia silently shrilled as she fussed over Logan who was currently lying in a hospital bed, writhing in pain, trying to recuperate after he had fainted at the office. Logan grimaced in pain, Cecilia noticed his discomfort, and hovering over him she asked him, concern laced in her voice, “Are you alright my son?” Failing to see Logan’s shake of the head, she continued her rants“Who does that son of a bitch think he is, I will make sure he's unable to lift a finger anymore by the time I'm done with him. I'll get Williams, my darling son-in-law to deal with that scavenger for what he has done to my son!” She had clenched her fists as she spoke, with her eyes a bloodshot red. Standing a few feet away, Logan could hear her breathe heavily as he watched her rage on. Logan wanted Adam’s disgrace and more, he still couldn't understand nor figure out what had happened earlier, how Ad
Cecilia stared incredulously at the nurse, her eyes throwing daggers at her. What right did this flimsy thing have to talk to her in the manner she did, did she not realise who she was talking to? “You're going to pay for this, I'll make sure of that. If after today you have another job, it will be by a stroke of luck!” narrowing her eyes at the nurse, she glared at her, shaking her fist continuously The nurse scoffed and waved her hand in a flimsy manner. She was following orders and nothing more. Cecilia stomped to the bedside table by Logan’s hospital bed, and rummaged through her Keon Louis handbag, searching for her phone. Phone in hand, she wagged a finger in the nurse’s direction “You and your supposed superiors are in trouble, by the time we're done with you, you'd pity yourself. Just you wait! My son-in-law will handle you once and for all!” she muttered loudly. Face reddening, she dialled Williams' number, while hoping he would be available to pick up her call, she coul
