The door flew open as Jacob stormed into Ethan’s office. "What's the plan? Is there anything new that we can work on today?”“Not now, Ethan. I’m trying hard to clear up my desk and finish some tasks.” His hands were busy with the files scattered on the table.“Your desk? I thought you’d done that before you came into the office today. Besides, you had a day's break all to yourself. You should’ve worked it out at home.”He sighed a sigh of relief. “Jacob, I so wish to go back in time and maximise my time to the fullest.”"Why are you saying such a thing as that? How did you spend your weekend?”“You want to know how I spent my weekend? I wasted it, and I feel so pained about it.”Jacob burst out with laughter. “A whole you, Ethan? If anyone should be complaining about not utilising their time well, then he shouldn’t be you.”“Why are you saying that? You think I’m all perfect, and I don’t seem to have any flaws at all.”Jacob crossed his legs and rested his back on the chair he had on
Ethan and Jacob looked at each other as they stood up in amusement. “How were you able to walk to my office just like that? Ethan questioned.“Are you asking me that kind of question? How about you direct that kind of question to your security men?” He pulled back the vacant chair that was in the room and sat on it.“Ethan, Is this the kind of person we intend to work with? See, how rude and proud he thinks of himself.” Jacob spoke up out of anger.“I don’t have any business to do with you, Mr. Man. I don’t know what gave you the boldness to talk to me in such a manner. Are you the one offering the contract to me? Besides, you are nothing but a handbag to your low-level boss.”“What! How dare you say such a word to me like that? You just came in here, and you are opening your stinky mouth like that. Do you know who my boss is and what he can do for you?"Aaron stood up in anger and threatened him.“I don’t know who your boss is or what he thinks he has because it's probably nonbusines
Marco left Ethan's company and went straight to his own company after Ethan ordered him out of his office.He was driving all the way from Ethan's company to his company when a call came in. The call rang for the first time, and Marco was ignorant of picking up the call. It rang again, and this time around, he had to park his car to receive the phone call.“Marco, how did it go? I hope it was successful. Bella asked him out of curiosity.“It went well, even though he wasn't expecting my return at all." He responded.“Didn't I tell you? I told you that he wouldn't even expect it, but babe, don't forget to stick to the plan."“What plan? You've not given me a template to follow, so what plan are we talking about here? Or, did I miss anything?"“I'm talking about you always giving me first-hand information about everything that's going to happen when you start working with him."“Oh! If it's about that, then it shouldn't be a problem for you at all. I'll always tell you everything as lon
“What exactly happened right before your eyes?” Marco broke into the girl's conversations without anyone noticing his presence.The three women who were having a deep conversation about Aaron’s sudden sack letter all looked at each other in shock. Marco was standing at the back of them, but they were all bothered if he had been standing at their back since or for a while now.“Sir… We were talking about the event that we attended during our weekend.” The cleaner stuttered before putting herself back together.“Oh! Wow! Really? An event that you attended by this time of the day.” He questioned her.“We felt like now was the perfect time to discuss it since we were almost done for the day and we don’t have much work to do for now.” The other girl spoke up this time around.“Are you sure you are almost done with your work? Whether you are almost done or not, what I want to tell you all is that nobody is going to leave this building unless you show me what you’ve done today," he said to t
Ethan picked up his phone and dialled Nadia’s number to hear from her since she didn’t show up when he was leaving the house earlier that day.Ring….Ring….The phone rang for like two minutes before she picked up the call.“Nadia, How are you feeling today? I tried apologising to you last night based on what I said to you and how I reacted in a certain way, but the more I kept on apologising, the more you didn’t give me a listening ear. What else do you want me to do for you to prove that I’m deeply sorry?" He spoke in a sober tone over the phone.“Uncle Ethan, you don’t have to bother about that at all. I have forgiven you, and that’s all that matters.” She responded to him calmly.“Are you sure, Nadia? I hope you’ve truly forgiven me." He asked her one more time.“Yes! I have forgiven you, and you don’t have to let that bother you at all.” She assured him.“How about we spend some time together playing video games when I come back from work?” He asked her, seeking her concern.Knock
“What did I hear you say, Anita? Do you know what that means to me and my brand?" He fired back at her this time around and moved way closer to her, where she sat down on her chair.Anita moved backwards with the chair on her buttocks. “I said that you are a child because you have to explain to me how a grown man like you will sit down and watch your ex-wife beat you. Are you that fragile?" She responded back to him.He pulled her closer to him and grabbed her by the neck. “The next time you say such things like that to me, you won't be alive to see tomorrow. I don't know what Bella might have fed you, but the only thing I can tell you is to erase that nonsense out of your head." He said this to her as his hands were still holding tight on her neck."Ethan, you are killing me slowly." She struggled for breath as she spoke up in a cracked voice.“So, you value your life so much like this, and here you are saying filthy things about me. You are just a shameless and low-life loser." He r
Ethan and Jacob shook hands together after Jacob gave him a word of comfort.“Are you heading back home now, or do you still need some things to put in place?” Ethan asked him while packing some important documents into his briefcase.“I’m done with my task for today, and I believe everyone should be done as well. As you can see, it’s already 5:30 pm, and we are still here at the office gisting when we should be at home resting.” He responded to him.“Since you are done with your work for today, do you mind if I drop you off at your place since yours comes before mine?” He asked him politely, with his briefcase neatly placed on the table.Jacob's face was filled with joy. “I don’t mind hopping in your car to get a little lift from you; after all, it’s favourable to me," he said to him.“If you are thinking that I’ll give you preferential treatment or go to a nearby store to get one or two for you, then you have to start scraping away the thought from your mind.” He laughed at him a bi
“Can you hear me, Nadia?" He asked once more, but still there wasn't a response from her.He turned off the shower and quickly tied his towel, using his phone as a torchlight to look at the stairs as he walked downstairs.“Nadia, where are you? Now is not the time to play your hide-and-seek games. This is becoming scary, and I can't afford to lose you this time around." He spoke up with his torchlight, trying to search for the current box.Suddenly, he heard the sound of a cup falling down from the kitchen and the suffocating sound of a voice. He hurried straight up to the kitchen, and as he got there, he was grabbed by someone from the back, strangling his neck.“Help! Help!" Ethan screamed out for help but couldn't get a response from anyone, as everywhere was so calm that only his voice echoed through the kitchen.He made use of his back leg to kick the unknown person struggling to hold onto his neck. The moment he forcefully kicked the person, the person landed on the floor with h
