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

"This is going way better than I anticipated." Billion said to Joy as they both made their way into the company ."I knew Victor was going to be made to pay for his crimes, but I didn't think it would go this way." Joy responded.“What do you mean?" Billion asked."I was expecting the Boulevard empire to come under a little attack as well, I had no idea we would be this praised." Joy replied."That shouldn't surprise you. The Boulevard empire has never compromised. We were obv
Jill was unusually quiet. Joy and Jill sat in the back of the car while Dave drove to the hotel Victor had instructed Jill to meet with him."Hey. Are you okay? You've been awfully quiet." Joy noted."Yea, I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind." Jill replied."Do you want to talk about it?" Joy asked. Noticing his hesitancy, Joy continued,"It's okay if you don't." "I'm really nervous about meeting Mr. Grey. He used to intimidate me so much." Jill said truthfully."I understand why you feel that way, but I think you'll be okay. It's been a while since you've seen him, right?" Joy asked."Yeah, it has been a while, but I still remember how he used to make me feel. He was always so aggressive and dismissive." Jill said."I get that, but try to remember that you're not the same person you were back then. You've grown and changed, and you don't have to feel intimidated anymore." Joy said encouragingly."I know, but it's hard to shake off those old feelings. What if he still treats me
"Not again.!"Joy said out loud. Her phone rang for the tenth time that morning and she was already fed up.It was the weekend and she decided to help her folks out at the bakery, everything had been going well until a particular number kept calling repeatedly.She decided not to pick after the person had called the first two times, she assumed the person would get the message that she was busy and would return the calls later but the person didn't.Joy held her phone and watched it ring, she was contemplating if she should pick up the call when the customer in front of her spoke up."Excuse me, can I pay for my purchase?" The customer said.Joy quickly looked up from her phone"Oh, yes, sorry about that. How can I help you?" She asked."I'd like to pay for my items, please." the customer answered."Of course, I apologize for the delay. Let me ring up your items." Joy responded.The customer handed Joy her goods and after costing it, Joy handed it back to her."That comes out to $50.
"Xavier?” What do you want?" Joy asked. He was the last person she expected a call from."Hi, it's me. Can we talk?" Xavier asked."I don't really want to talk to you right now." Elise responded."Please, just hear me out. I know things didn't end well between us, and the last time we saw each other, it wasn't under the best of circumstances but I need to talk to you." Xavier said."I don't think there's anything left to say." Joy replied."I understand that, but I just want to apologize for everything that happened. I messed up and I'm sorry." Xavier responded."I appreciate the apology, but it doesn't change anything." Joy said."I know, but I want to make things right between us. Can we at least talk about it?" Xavier asked."I don't think it's a good idea. I don't think you should even be talking to me right now considering the way things are between your family and the company I work for." Joy said."I understand that, but I just need to know that we're okay." Xavier answered.
