"Well, the last time we spoke, I mentioned that Micah and Xavier were in debt. Do you remember?" Karen asked."Yes, I remember. You said they gamble a lot and they owed the people they gamble with or something like that." Joy answered."Yes. Well, it turns out that the situation is more serious than I had thought." Karen said."Karen, can you please explain? Did something happen to Micah?" Joy asked."Not really. The thing is, last week, Micah stayed at work really late and I had to stay with him as well. When we were done, he immediately left and I stayed behind to lock up. When I was done and I got close to the parking lot of the company, I heard voices. At first I was tempted to call out loud to see who it was, but I didn't." Karen explained."Why didn't you?" Joy asked."Because I heard what sounded like a person being shoved against a car or something and then I heard a grunt, I got scared and I hid behind a car." Karen answered."Hmmmm. Then what happened next?" Joy inquired."A

"Calm down. I haven't even said anything yet." Joy said."You don't have to. I already know you're thinking of asking him for help and more information about what's happening in Williams Corp." Billion said."How can you be so sure?" Joy asked defensively."Am I wrong?" Billion replied"Well, no. But hear me out. Jerry is a nice man. People make mistakes and whatever happened between you and him, I'm sure it was a mistake. You have to overlook it, please." Joy pleaded."Overlook? That man judged me even before he got a chance to know me. First impressions matter a lot and the impression that man gave me, I do not like it," Billion said."Okay, I agree, first impressions really do matter, however, what about giving someone a second chance. Second impression?" Joy asked."Joy, no. Look for someone else," Billion said."Jerry works in the finance department and I'm sure he wouldn't lie to me. Also, I'm certain he knows more about this issue than any other staff member." Joy said."I just

Joy sat with an upright posture. Her back straight and her shoulders relaxed."I'm all ears," she replied. Her sitting position reflected her attentiveness and readiness to absorb whatever Jerry had to say."First, I need you to clarify what you just said. Were you indirectly implying that Mr Boulevard is interested in acquiring Williams Corporation?" Jerry asked."Typical Jerry." Joy muttered, he would never give out information without being certain.Joy leaned slightly forward "Yes, that's exactly what I mean Jerry. But I need you to tell me what's going on here and I need you to confirm if that will be a good investment or not." Joy explained."If Billion Boulevard is the good businessman you say he is and if his good record is anything to go by, then I can say with great measure of conviction that buying Williams Corporation is going to be a good investment." Jerry said with his eyes focused on Joy."That's good. I need you to tell me if there's anything else going on here. Is th

"Let me get this straight, Micah's debt cannot be repaid at once. His parents are aware of his debts and he is also aware that Micah has been the one collecting money from the company, correct?" Joy asked"Yes." Jerry answered."If that's the case, why is he lying to his staff? What does he hope to achieve?" Joy asked."It's simple. He's owing workers and he doesn't want to pay. Since the company is losing funds and not making enough to cover for it, he doesn't want to release more money." Jerry answered."Even to workers who have labored and earned their pay?" Joy asked, she was baffled."Even to workers who have earned their pay." Jerry said."That's completely wrong and unfair. Employees deserve to be paid for their work, and it's the responsibility of Mr. And Mrs. Williams to ensure that happens." Joy said."Absolutely. When someone takes up a job, they enter into an agreement with their employer. They provide their skills, time, and effort in exchange for a fair wage. Denying

"Alright Dave, I'll call you when I'm done." Joy said to Dave and got down from the car.She paused and looked at the signboard in front of her "Pen&Pen Limited." it read.Getting the names of those the Williams owed wasn't as difficult as they had imagined, with just a phone call to Karen, Joy had gotten the names in less than an hour.So here she was, her first stop for the day, hopefully, she would be able to play her part perfectly.Joy exuded an air of professionalism and confidence as she strode into the building, dressed impeccably in a corporate attire.

Joy felt calm. She sat quietly in Mrs. Williams's office awaiting her arrival.She was late and Joy did not appreciate that. She had a schedule to keep up with.However, she took her time to look around. Despite the number of years she had visited this corporation while working for Mrs. Harvey, she had only been inside this office a few times.She decided to give herself a tour of the office. Looking out the window, Joy noticed that It offered an impressive view of the surrounding area.It was also spacious and provided ample room for the desk, seating areas for meetings and discussions, and bookshelves, cabinets and display cases.The centerpiece of Mrs. Williams' office was a large and luxurious desk, made of fine polished metal. The desk is well-organized, featuring a laptop, a telephone, and other essential office supplies. It also had a small sign indicating Mrs. Williams position.Joy also took note of the decor and personal touches. There was artwork, sculptures, and framed

Mrs. Williams made the smart decision. "Are they all signed?" Joy asked, examining the documents in her hand."Yes, they are '' Mrs. Williams replied, the anger she was feeling was evident in her voice."All right then, I'll take them back with me so that my boss can sign them, we'll send them back to you as soon as we can. Do enjoy the rest of your day." Joy said.…"I come bearing good news!" Joy announced dramatically the moment she walked into Billion's office."I can tell." Billion replied, he then got up from his seat to give Joy a hug. He planted a kiss on her lips and wanted to do more but Joy smacked his arm lightly and tried to move away."How're you?" Billion asked, still holding her by the waist."I'm okay. I had a really productive day." Joy replied."Tell me all about it." Billion replied, leading her to a seat."I told Mrs. Williams our proposal, at first she was strong headed but after I made it clear our proposal was the best she could get, shee accepted without he

Laughter and chatter bounced off the walls as they gathered their belongings.Suddenly, Joy's phone pierced through the lively atmosphere with its insistent ringtone. She glanced at the caller ID and picked, “Hello.”After a while, she yelled, "What?” The abrupt interruption drew everyone's attention.After a brief exchange, Joy offered a quick "Thank you" and ended the call. “What's the matter?” Ecstasy asked.Joy simply urged her to turn on the TV and switch to Channel 108. Ecstasy did so, and their eyes were glued to the screen.On the television, an interview was underway. Stella Brown, flanked by her parents, Beauty and Joshua Brown, spoke earnestly to the interviewer. “Billion Boulevard has graciously extended financial assistance to my family in our time of need.” Stella revealed.The interviewer pressed for an explanation, “Ma'am, why would Billion Boulevard offer such

The sound of keyboards clicking and phones softly ringing fills the air, creating a productive hum.As Billion entered, a ripple of excitement spread through the room. The employees glanced up from their workstations, their faces breaking into cheerful smiles. The air was filled with a positive vibe, enhanced by the remnants of a memorable celebration from the previous night. After Billion settled into his office, his secretary walked in."Hello sir. There's someone here to see you." she said."Who's that? I wasn't aware I had an appointment this morning." Billion replied."You don't. The lady came in and requested to see you. I asked her to come back another time after she had fixed an appointment but she was insistent and refused to leave." she replied."What's her name?" Billion asked.“Stella Brown."When Billion heard that name, he found himself torn between professional courtesy and personal discomfort. Billi

"He's about to leave the premises isn't he?" Joy asked. Her expression shifted from one of elation to a fleeting moment of disappointment. "He is." Billion answered."What do you intend to do? You've already had a really interesting evening.First, it was Xavier and his family. Next, it was Stella. The press conference and now, Micah. Maybe you can talk to him tomorrow?" Joy suggested. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes widened with a tinge of longing. She wished for nothing more than to prolong this fleeting, stolen moment of intimacy and let it linger a little while longer."I think it's better I do it now. I'll let him know that I'm aware of where he is at every point in time.Also, I should inform him of his new occupation as well. And most importantly, he needs to formally meet his new boss." Billion replied."Looks like you still have a lot on your hand, so, I'll leave you to it" she said. With a soft sigh that carried a mixture of longing and understanding, Joy reached

"It's time." After walking away from Stella, Billion had gone to wash his face. He had just returned to the garden when Joy walked up to him and notified him that it was time. He had a press conference to attend."Oh boy." he muttered and followed Joy to where the media was. They tried crowding in on him and bombarding him with all their questions at once, but Joy wasn't having it.In a calm, composed and controlled voice, she said "Thank you all for your interest. I understand there are many questions, and Mr Boulevard will do his best to address them one at a time. Let's start with one question at a time, please"However, that plea fell on deaf ears, everyone had something to ask the CEO of D'Boulevard empire."I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it would be helpful if we could take this one question at a time. That way, Mr Boulevard can provide you with accurate and thoughtful responses" Joy repeated and fortunately, the crowd seemed to understand her."To ensure that everyone's

"Billion" a soft voice called out from behind him.Billion had not gotten up to five feet away from where he was when he heard his name.The voice which called out his name served as a reminder of the past—a bittersweet symphony of emotions stirs within him."Stella." he muttered without turning.A wave of mixed emotions crashed over him, taking him by surprise. A rush of memories flooded his mind, reminding him of the tumultuous times they shared together and the pain she caused him.Initially, his heart skipped a beat, caught off guard by the familiarity of that voice he once knew so well. His body instinctively tensed up. A knot formed in the pit of his stomach, as if the weight of their history resurfaced in an instant.Despite the tumultuous mix of emotions, curiosity and a sense of self-preservation urged him to turn around, to face the woman whose voice still carried a strong recognition within him."Hello Stella." Slowly, Billion pivots on his heels, his eyes meeting hers for

Billion's head swiveled gradually upon hearing his name, locking eyes with the person before him."Xavier," he said in a relaxed tone."It was you?!" Xavier asked accusingly."What was me?" Billion replied, his demeanor unwavering."You really have the guts to ask me that? Whatever did my family do toyou?" Xavier yelled."Are you really asking me that?" Billion responded, he had hoped that question was a rhetorical one.“You humiliated those who work for me!”"What about my family? Did they humiliate you as well? Or are you just a sick individual who derives not from watching the downfall of others?" Xavier spat"Your dad almost ruined my empire on love television! You and your parents are cruel individuals. You should be grateful I didn't look for a way to put you behind bars." Billion replied.Upon hearing those words, Xavier let out a mocking laugh "So what? I should kneel down and thank you for your mercy towards me and my family?" "There's no need for that. Do enjoy the rest of

"Good evening everyone" Billion said. He took a moment to scan through the crowd and he was pleased to see the three major families seated where he wanted, in front of him, seeing him clearly."No camera will ever be able to truly capture this moment," Joy muttered.She was watching the three families and their expressions were something she would pay to watch repeatedly if only they could be properly captured. The first family to catch her eyes were the Greys.Grace Grey's face initially displayed surprise, as her eyes widened and her eyebrows raised involuntarily. Her mouth parted slightly, indicating astonishment and disbelief at the unexpected turn of events. As the realization sank in that the person in front of them was the same young man she and her son had humiliated at the gym years back, her expression morphed into a combination of embarrassment and regret. Her eyes darted away momentarily, avoiding direct contact with his gaze, as a wave of guilt washes over her. Line

Micah stared at her. He was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. He was feeling a combination of guilt, shame, anxiety, and uncertainty about his future. The weight of his actions and the consequences he was facing weighed heavily on him.As time passed in the cell that he was in, he had begun to reflect on the gravity of his actions and the impact it would have on his family name if it became public knowledge.However, he did not feel regret over his actions, he felt regret over being caught. The uncertainty of what lies ahead, including potential legal ramifications and expenses was causing him great distress.When Joy unexpectedly showed up and requested to speak with him, his emotions intensified as he was notified. He felt a mix of nervousness and apprehension, unsure of what she wanted to discuss with him. The encounter could trigger a range of thoughts and possibilities in his mind, adding to his already heightened state of anxiety.As that statement left Joy's lips, Micah

It was gone. All of it! Joy kept looking at the shelf where she had kept the million dollars Jerry had given her the previous day, and just as she had expected, the money was gone.As her plan unfolds exactly as she anticipated, a wave of exhilaration and satisfaction washes over her. She experiences a profound sense of accomplishment and validation, as the meticulous effort and strategic thinking she invested in crafting her plan have paid off.Joy permeated her being, and her face lights up with an infectious smile that reflects the triumph she feels within.
