Billion sat at his desk, documents spread before him.Suddenly, the door creaked open, and in walked Joy. A smile lit up Billion's face as he rose to greet her and they shared a tender kiss."What's on the agenda for today?" Billion inquired.With a gentle nod, Joy began to update him. "You have three meetings lined up, darling. The first one is set to start in just two minutes."Billion's brow furrowed. "And who might I have the pleasure of meeting first?" he asked, already bracing himself for the day ahead.With a knowing smile, Joy replied, "It's Mrs. Dorathy."At the mention of the name, a weary expression crossed Billion's face. "Not her again," he muttered under his breath. "I don't have the patience for her today."A soft chuckle escaped Joy's lips as she reached out to reassure him. "Don't worry, love. I'll be praying for you," she teased.Before Billion could respond, there was a knock on the door. With a graceful stride, Joy crossed the room and opened the door, greeting Mrs
A week later, it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Billion and Andrew were in the study discussing about Andrew’s plan to expand one of their branches.“So, how exactly do you intend to go about it?" Billion asked."Well, I've written to the board of directors, I proposed the expansion of our business into new territories. As you are aware, our company has seen steady growth and success in recent years, and I believe that the time is right to explore new opportunities for expansion.Through market research and analysis, we have identified several areas where our products and services are in high demand.

Joy listened quietly as Billion spoke, he was explaining Andrew's plan for Victor Grey to her, after he was done, she spoke up, "Well, I hope this plan doesn't backfire. Victor will definitely be more cautious after what happened with his allies.""We'll also be extra cautious, we have our eyes on him, there's nothing he can do to catch us off guard." Billion said."Alright, I trust you and Andrew. I'll do my part as well, even though I can't stand that man." Joy said."This will all be over soon, my love." Billion said and hung up.Joy took in a deep breath, she would need to polish her acting skills. Victor Grey was going to fall into a pit which he himself would dig.…Weeks later "It's finally done! We finally have our own bakery" Jasmine Chapman said excitedly.The Chapman's, together with Billion and Joy were standing inside the new and fully equipped "Chapman Bakery"The Chapman's had taken Joy in when her parents had died, as a way of repayment, Billion decided to open a b
"Can I have everyone's attention please?” Lord Boulevard asked as he walked to the center of the room."Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to this special event. It's an honor to have you all here today, and we appreciate the time you have taken out of your busy schedules to attend.We have gathered here tonight to celebrate a family that's dear to my family. I am confident that this will be an unforgettable evening filled with joy, laughter, and great memories.At this point, I would like to announce that this establishment is not a property of the Boulevard empire, it belongs to Imo and Jasmine Chapman." Lord Boulevard said.It was clear from the looks on the people's faces that they weren't familiar with the Chapman's, a few people even began murmuring."With that being said, I'd like to invite someone, who is like a daughter of the celebrants, Joy. Most of you know her, she's the personal assistant of my son. She'll
“Grace!" Victor screamed his wife's name and rushed over.Grace was brought back to her senses when she heard her name, she quickly dropped her hand."What exactly were you about to do?!" Jasmine asked ."Nothing. Enjoy the rest of your evening." Grace said and walked away.Victor tried holding her back and asking what had happened, but she pushed him away.He, however, was really glad she realized herself before it was too late. He already had plans, he didn't want an altercation to ruin it."Jasmine, Imo. I apologize on my wife's behalf. I'm really sorry for whatever she said and her actions." Victor said."Your wife said things that were out of line and frankly, we get her, but she really needs to learn to control herself, she should accept things as they are and move on with her life." Jasmine said."I know. It's just a lot to take home, I'm sure she'll adjust with time" Victor explained."It's okay, we appreciate you coming over to explain. We understand that sometimes things hap
"Who is it?" Xavier asked."My boss." Joy responded.“Billion Boulevard?" Xavier asked again."Exactly." Joy repliedXavier knew the Boulevard's were wealthy, but after seeing this car, he was more than convinced that they were the wealthiest people in the city.The car pulled up and parked six feet away from where they were standing.Elise started walking towards the car, but then she turned and realized Xavier had not moved."Don't you want to ask him anymore? I'll help you." Joy said.Xavier couldn't believe his ears, Joy was saying she could help him, he scoffed. There was a time he would have called her mad for making such a statement, however, he decided to take the opportunity to talk to Billion Boulevard, he was really curious, hopefully, he'll be able to discover who he really is."Hello Mr. Boulevard." Xavier said when they got really close to the car.Billion winds the windows down and responds to Xavier's greeting. He was expecting Xavier to say something else, but Xavier
The financial year came to an end quickly. Victor Grey, together with Joy, Sam, the board of directors and members of the finance department sat together in the company's conference room.Victor Grey had just concluded his audit and was set to announce if the company had suffered a loss or had made profit.Victor walked to the front of the room to address everyone."Good day all.

The new financial year started a week ago. Billion sat in his newly renovated and furnished office which exuded a sense of authority and professionalism.However, sitting in front of his large desk and staring into his computer in front of him, Billion did not look professional at all.His hair was disheveled due to the countless number of times he had run his fingers through it. His tie was loose and he had unbuttoned the first two buttons on his shirt.His posture was haunched. Overall, Billion was feeling exhausted and appeared worn out, depleted, and in need of rest and recuperation.He quickly picked up the office phone and called his secretary, Nina."Good morning, sir. How can I assist you today?" Nina asked immediately as she entered his office."Good morning Nina. I was just wondering if we have any upcoming appointments or meetings for the day" Billion asked."Let me check, sir." Nina said and consulted the file with her."Yes, we have a meeting with the marketing team at
