Alex decided to pay a visit to the company after two weeks. Upon his arrival, he was greeted with cheers from the employees. A few were cheerful while others, a bit angry that he had returned, thinking that he had come to reclaim the ownership because according to them, he was making life difficult for them. Indifferent to their reactions, he headed straight to the CEO office. He had waited for Martins to be called back to work but his brother had been proving to be stubborn. He didn't wait to be called in before knocking. He was surprised to see Joyce the receptionist on Liam's lap kissing passionately. So, this was what he was doing, how would the company grow in the first place. Joyce attempted to jump out of Liam's laps but he held her down. "What a surprise to see you dear brother." He said.Alex crossed his arms staring at Joyce with a withering glare that she had no choice but to pick up her files and flee away."Good riddance. It's a wonder why the company is almost going b

Liam was pissed at his brother seeing as though he had won in life. It was funny as hell because he was a million times richer than Alex but didn't like the way he acted as though he was better than him. It made him very annoyed."What bothers you so much?" Brock inquired when he saw Liam tapping his foot impatiently against the ground. It made him a bit worried about what was happening."That stupid boy acts as though he's better than me. The worst thing is that a few members of my staff share that sentiment. "Isn't that foolishness?" Brock placed a finger underneath his chin and shrugged. " Well, I really don't know what you want me to say because this doesn't sound like an easy case. I mean, what can we say to all of these? That man is grating on everyone's nerves." "So, what are you about to do right now?" Liam shrugged, "That's the problem. I have stayed awake throughout the night just to make sure that I find something tangible against but guess what? "What?""I wasn't abl

At 3 p.m.The doorbell rang at Alex's residence and his wife went to the door, abandoning her food and everything that she was doing. Thinking that it was her husband returning from Nikki's office, she abandoned looking at the peephole and instead yanked the door open, beaming widely.Her smile fell off when she saw Liam standing across the threshold. "What are you doing here?"Liam cocked his head, "Good afternoon to you too darling. May I come in?" He replied and walked in, gently pushing her away. "Nice place. Who knew that you could clean up and become a bit worthy? It's really nice if I do say so myself." He said, bobbing his head softly.Brielle shot him a blank stare and he stared at her in return. "What are you doing here?" She replied. He was here to seek trouble but she wasn't in the mood for that at all. "I am not here to cause problems.""I don't believe that. What are you here for?" She replied Liam was a bit pissed at the way she was replying and he stared at her angri

"You want me to return to work. What for?" He inquired and Liam went stiff for a minute. "This isn't the best time to act all high and mighty when we both know that you need the job. How will you feed your family if you don't work?" Liam replied after gaining momentum. He was not in the mood to talk much.Alex stared at his brother who was fond of trying to make sure that he felt lesser than him. "I hope you understand what you are doing. Calling me to resume when you don't want me to. If that's not self-contradictory, then I don't know what it is." He replied.Liam shrugged softly. "Well, that's by the way. What I came here for is to make sure that you know that I'm serious.""I'll think about it."Liam scoffed, this was what he hated his brother for. The man was too proud for crying out loud. "It's one thing to be broke and another to be proud. when these characters combine, they don't always turn out right." He muttered.Alex turned, "Well, I've heard you. It's better than being r

Alex brought out the chair for his visitor which Rick smiled and patted the table."Thank you." He muttered and Alex nodded. "You're welcome.""So, what brings you here?" Alex inquired after a moment of silence, he knew that his friend had a reason for being there."Don't tell me that you just decided to come pay a visit to me because of my good-naturedness." He said.Rick chuckled, Alex would never change. He was always at alert and it made him wonder what made him this way. "Well, I was not happy that a lot of things were not going the way I expected so I decided to pay you a visit.""Oh, thanks.""Your wife is very beautiful." He commented and earned a glare from Alex. " Wait, I've changed, I'm not a womanizer anymore." He said.Alex really didn't care, " That's your business though. I don't care about that. So what are you doing now? I mean for business." He added for clarity.Rick shrugged softly, "I mean, I've just been here and there, it's almost as though I'm the only one tha

Brielle sighed before knocking on the door. It had been a long time since she had faced her family and thought of what they might say this time around. The room fell into a hush when they saw her and she felt as though the ground should open and swallow her. Their eyes dissected every part of her body and she was thankful that she wore a very good cloth. "Why is everyone staring at me as if someone died?" She inquired yet their gazes still magneted her. She was a bit weary about the meeting."Where is Grandma?" She inquired when they refused to move instead they were staring at her as though she had committed a heinous crime that nobody had done before making her a bit weary. "Why is everyone mute?" Grandma asked as she walked in and saw her granddaughter standing at the entrance of the house. "Come on in, you can't keep standing there. What is going on here?" As if controlled by a remote, Brock moved. "Welcome, Brielle, we thought that he'd never release you from your shackles."

"Can you see what they are doing in your very presence? How does this even make sense in the first place?" Brock complained but no one replied to him and Alex smiled softly. It wasn't everytime that one was required to fight for himself. Sometimes, it was just good to steer clear and see what was happening."Did you see their faces?" Brielle replied excitedly and they stared at each other."Did you see the way they were gobsmacked by my response? You are rubbing off on me and I'm not sure that I like it." She said with a smirk and he nodded "I would be worried if I didn't rub off on you. It's only normal that we take care of everything that needs to be done, without allowing anyone to intimidate you."Brielle stared at the man before her. "Where did you hide all of this charisma in the first place?" She inquired and he shrugged. If there was something that she had learnt about him,it was the art of silence. Even the woman who was his wife knew that he was unpredictable like the weat
