Liam sauntered into the restaurant and quickly scanned the area to see the man he was supposed to meet sitting across and tapping his feet on the ground as someone who had no care in the world but he knew that it was a total lie and anyone who fell for that was going to be in big soup."My man, how are you doing today!" He called cheerfully even though he didn't feel it. He hated Sean and Brock but had to pretend till the saga was over. There was no way that he was going to allow them to strike him. "Yo! Come over here!" Sean replied, matching his energy. They both stared at each other like hawks, yet pretended to be on good terms. "I don't know why you are just arriving. Your friend just left." "Well, I had something important to tidy up before rushing out here. You said you wanted to see me for something special. I'm here now, what's the matter?" "I need you to help me drug Brielle. We need to have a piece of evidence against her so that the blackmail plan can go through. I won'
Martins looked up when he saw that Brielle was coming in. He hissed lowly as he wondered why she was here."Good morning, ma'am. I didn't think you could come here." He spoke softly but she saw beyond his calm demeanor that he wasn't in any way pleased with her presence."Oh, really... I didn't know that you were going to be here, I heard that you don't come to work lately. Is there any problem at all?" "No, there isn't but I believe that you're here to seek one, seeing your stance," Martins replied, this time not pretending to be on her side at all Brielle gestured to a seat. "May I? Even if you don't want me here." She replied and he stared at her, before offering her a curt nod. That told her everything that she needed to know. "I didn't think that you wanted to be associated with the business seeing that it could be hard for the common man to comprehend." Brielle's fake smile faded. She wasn't in the mood for that nonsense this time around. "I am not here for jokes Martins. I
“I hate her guts so much,” Martins yelled to no one in particular as he paced around his office with a Cold glare plastered on his face.His countenance was so cold that veins could be seen popping out of his head. He walked around angrily, he seemed restless and he was scared after she left. He knew what she could do and he didn’t want to wait to find out. “Who does she think she is?” He thought to himself in disgust.Going against him wasn’t a very good thing to do because he was going to react. After all, he didn’t want to be walked over by anyone.He paced around still wondering what he was going to do, he was restless and he was pissed. He wanted to teach her a lesson as soon as possible, so she’d understand that he’s not one to be messed with.He walked over to his seat and sat down relaxing gently on the chair with a huge black desk in front of him. He gently stroked his chin with a cold glare plastered on his face.He recollected he and Briella and just the thought of her gut
“That’s all I ask for and this is all for the betterment of our company and I’m trying to make sure that we don’t make decisions that’ll affect us,” Martins said in a quite convincing tone.“But what if the reason she tells us is different from what you’re telling me?” A board member asked and that got Martins infuriated immediately.“Are you trying to go against me? Are you trying to insinuate something? Like I’m lying or what are you trying to say exactly?” Martians stood up staring directly at Micheal, a part of the board who just voiced out.The woke atmosphere was already tense and everyone knew that Martins wasn’t in a good mood. They wondered if it was about the meeting he said he had with Brielle or if it was something else.“Of course not, I do not have any plan of going against you and I’m not trying to Insinuate anything, pardon me if it seems that way. I’m just trying to say that if she comes here and says something else, are we supposed to tell her what you said?” Micheal
Sean was in his office when he heard about Brielle fathers condition and he also heard about the unheard stories too. The fact that they were unable to pay the bills and the treatment won’t cease once they can’t gather it.He knew the type of person Brielle was and how she held herself in high esteem. He pondered as he smiled to himself about the situation.He brought out his phone and made a call to his men, the one who gave him the information about what was going on in her family. It wasn’t like he was dotting on her family in particular but the news just came to him. The phone rang and the person picked up the call almost immediately.“Boss.”“How are you?”“I'm a fine boss.”“So, you remember the Brielle girl with the miserable case that they can’t afford her father's treatment?” “Yes, I do sir.”“Pay the bills, I don’t care how much it is, go to the hospital and sort it out,”“But why do you want to help her? She doesn’t deserve it.”“That’s none of your business, just do what
Brielle paced in front of the corridor as she thought of what to do if Sean decided to call her bluff. This wasn't going to change the fact that her family just went broke as if they had never been rich in their life. That taught her that anyone could go broke. There was no one beyond being broke. If there was anything that she wanted to change, it was the fact that life was filled with uncertainty. Aside from that, it also managed to teach her that there was a reason why life was unpredictable. Her mind wandered to her grandmother. She had not seen her after that stunt that the girl pulled. But that shouldn't stop her from trying to keep in touch with them, did it?She looked at her mother who was a shell of herself, her eyes were tired bearing all the weight of the world. "Mom, are you sure that you are okay?" Her mother blinked as if just returning to Earth to see what was happening. She didn't know what to feel. "Yeah, I am. A little frustrated but I'll be fine. I need to do
Alex's gaze was fixated on the iron bar in front of him. He felt like there was a change in the atmosphere. He didn't want to want to waste away in this prison because he knew the effect it had on different people. The chains rattled and a large light burst into the corridor, reflecting also in his cell. How had his life come to this? He would have sworn that he would never be in this situation but guess who was happily swinging in here? Him, "Are you sure that you're ready to see the Mayor today? He might be releasing some people but if you are unlucky, you will remain here." A warder cried out.There was no need for him to bother to check through the cell to know that he would not be one of those people because there was a deep-seated hatred for him by the prisoners and the officers.Liam was have been able to buy everyone. That got him wondering, did it mean that there was no good cop anymore? This was becoming alarming and he didn't even know what to do.All Brielle's plans had
Brielle sat lazily in a chair, staring blankly at the app on her phone. She was actually enthusiastic a while ago, but after a while of watching the motionless red dot on the phone, she was starting to get exhausted and somewhat sleepy.‘I’m starting to think that the tracker might be faulty or damaged,’ she thought to herself, sitting up. ‘What if the satellite connection has gone bad and Martins has already left?’ She bit her lips and tried refreshing the app, but nothing changed.“Hey, Nikki,” she turned to her friend. “Are you sure this thing is actually working? What if he has moved?” Brielle voiced out her fear.“If he moves the tracker will alert us, you need to calm down a bit,” Nikki said and groaned silently. She was not going to say it out, but Brielle’s lack of patience was starting to get on her nerves.‘I swear, if she complains one more time, I will leave her and find something else to do,’ Nikki decided in her thoughts.“…” Brielle opened her mouth to say something af
