"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. This is my first time auditing for the Boulevard empire but I can confidently say it was one of my best years ever . As I conclude this audit, I am thrilled to announce that the financial results are nothing short of sensational! The company has not only achieved but surpassed its financial targets, delivering an outstanding performance that can only be described as truly remarkable.The profits made by this company are simply astonishing. They are a true reflection of the unwavering commitment to success that each and every one of you has demonstrated. Your tireless efforts have delivered results that hav
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
"I'll put that phone down if I were you." Billion said to Jill."Why? Are you scared?" Jill asked tauntingly."Scared of what exactly?" Billion asked."I don't know. Maybe you're scared of Mr Grey finding out your identity. I wonder why that is." Jill replied."Sorry sir, but can you please tell me what's going on here? I'm a little lost." the security said.Billion proceeded to tell him how he had caught Jill sneaking out of the account department."Are you mad? You were the one caught sneaking out of a place you weren't supposed to be and you're expecting Mr. Boulevard to be the one who's scared?!" the guard shouted at Jill."I know that was a rhetorical question, but no, I am not mad. But what do you think? A wealthy man is afraid of his identity being made public, is it because he has certain agencies after him or could it be he has wronged some very influential people and now, he's hiding because he doesn't want to face the consequences of whatever he has done?" Jill asked.Witho
Joy felt really uncertain. Billion and Joy sat together in his office discussing. Earlier, he had Informed her about what happened with Jill and she felt skeptical.They both decided to wait and see if Jill would keep to his end of the bargain and not disappear with the money he had been given.While waiting, Billion requested for a project update on one of their important projects which Andrew had filled Joy in on."By the way, can you please update me on the status of the ongoing Z project?" Billion requested."Sure. It's one of my favorite projects so far. We're currently on track to meet our deadline, and we've completed approximately 75% of the project tasks." Joy explained."That's great news! Are there any areas of concern or potential obstacles that we need to address?" Billion asked."Yes, we have encountered a few issues that may cause delays in the project. They are currently working on resolving these issues and are confident that we will be able to overcome them." Joy
Jill was right. That was what was running through Joy's mind as she sat in her office waiting for Victor Grey.He had called earlier and requested to meet with her. He said he had a thriving business deal which he would like to discuss. Joy didn't want to go Into partnership with Victor, but Billion asked her to.Jill had assured them that Victor would try to jeopardize the deal and Billion believed him.A knock on the door brought her out from her thoughts, "You can enter" she said.Victor Grey walked into the office, a smile on his face. Joy wasn't fooled by the smile, she knew very well Victor was nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing."Good day Joy. How're you doing?" Victor asked after he had taken a seat."I'm good. And you?" Joy responded."As you can see, I'm fine. How're you folks and their business?" Victor asked. If Joy didn't know better, she would think he actually cared, "They're okay, the business is doing great. So, let's get straight to business. How can the Bou
Joy was furious. But at the same time, she was glad. She never wanted to sign that deal with Victor Grey.Even though she knew whatever he said wouldn't have any major impact on the Boulevard empire, Joy hated the fact that his actions could make the public doubt the integrity of the Boulevard empire.This was the perfect time for Victor Grey to be brought down, the world needed to see him for who he truly is.His allies' downfall had been grand, his would be even grander. Joy was feeling pumped. She had called earlier to notify the TV station that she would be joining them, but she made it clear Victor wasn't to be told."We're here ma'am." Dave announced.Joy was so deep in thoughts that she didn't realize they had arrived at the TV station, however, she couldn't bring herself to step out of the car when Dave opened and held the door for her.Joy was feeling a combination of anxiety, fear, and nervousness about the interview.She was scared and it was clear to see. She began sweat
No one paid attention to Victor Grey. "I just said that I want this live session to be stopped." Victor yelled again.He was agitated and needed to get out of there, this interview had gone way too far, this was not his plan."Well, Mr. Grey, you can leave if you wish, but before you do, I'd like you to have a rethink. I think it's in your best interest to stay and defend your image. You can start by telling us why you leaked the news about the deal" the interviewer said.Henry thought about it for a moment and decided to do damage control, "Honestly, I was just too excited. I couldn't believe that such an empire agreed to work with me. I know I should have waited, but I felt proud of myself and wanted the world to join me in my joy." Victor lied."Fair enough. But what about the errors that people have been complaining about. People are saying there's something wrong with the shares you sell and Miss Joy earlier said that you should be held responsible for it, what do you have to
