Sophia looked away. Even though she saw no reason why Derek didn't want to announce his identity before the inauguration but she couldn't take everyone looking down on him again. So, she was going to ignore Derek and announce him."_ the pre_," Sophia continued but the manager cut in quickly."I'm so sorry!" He yelled so loud that even if Sophia had said something, no one would have been able to hear.Derek released a sigh. He didn't know if he was supposed to be grateful for what the manager did. He took two steps closer to Sophia and shook his head slightly.Sophia released a sigh, finally accepting defeat. "Escort these people out!" She yelled in anger instead.The security led Ann and Kevin out of the lobby.The manager on the other hand was suddenly cooperative. He gave Derek a last glance before he walked out."Sophia," Derek called softly. "Do you even know who those people were?"Sophia bowed briefly. "I'm sorry boss. I just felt they wouldn't treat you like this if they knew
Derek regarded him for a moment. "What?"The man went on one knee. "I will serve you for eternity. Just don't fire me. I will spend the rest of my life, atoning for the sin I have committed against you.""Forget it. The president will be revealing his identity soon," Sophia said suddenly. "If you don't leave this instant, you will hate yourself.""Please, I beg of you!""I will never keep someone like you so close to me," Derek muttered and walked to the car.Sophia joined him and they drove out of the company.“What you said the other time about the inauguration,” Derek started and looked at Sophia. “I don’t want my identity to be revealed yet. Well, I could go on with the program and you could even go ahead with mentioning my name but I’m just not ready to show my face.”Sophia glanced at him. “Why? Did something bad happen?”Derek released a sigh. “I’m married, Sophia,” he revealed, shocking Sophia for a moment. “I told you the other day that there was a lot you don’t know about me
The men went quiet for a moment as if having silent communication with each other on what to do. They all looked at Zayn at the same time. "That's ok. We will do it," Mr. Davies said suddenly, with a wide smile on his face. In fact, everyone was glad that Zayn was bringing them along in his business plans. "Yes, we will do it. We only have to think of flimsy excuses for her. We will do great," Mr. Finn assured. Zayn smiled, satisfied by the positive responses that he got. "Alright, then. This meeting has ended," he announced. The door opened almost immediately and the man from earlier walked inside. Zayn stood up quickly. "How was it, Ben? Were you able to get across to him?" "Yes boss," Ben responded with a smile on his face. "Though it wasn't easy, I was able to get across to one of his trusted men. You are supposed to call him and he would get the phone to Clinton," he explained. Zayn released a relieved sigh. "Dial the number immediately. I have to make sure everything i
Amelia couldn't believe her ears. Finn has always been understanding. She didn't know what went wrong.That was even the least of her worries. What she was concerned about at that moment was how the news reached Mr. Finn.The thought of what that would do to the company made Amelia's heart skip several beats. She knew that she had to solve the issue immediately.Thankfully, some business partners were going to pay her that day. She would use the money to solve all that there is to it. That would stop the news from reaching the rest of the public."Boss," a feminine voice called suddenly and moved closer to Amelia.Amelia regarded her facial expression for a moment. "Is something wrong?"The lady hesitated, as if unsure of where to start. "The Omnilert company wants to terminate the contract."Amelia couldn't believe it. "What? Why? What did he say his reasons were?"The lady sighed."Talk to me, Mabel. What did he say?""Nothing, ma'am. Perhaps you should talk to him."Amelia nodded o
Amelia couldn't believe her ears or maybe her mother was only playing tricks on her.She laughed. "Mom, stop playing around. I'm in dire need of this backup money. And it's not funny that you are playing like this when I need it urgently."Ann sighed. "Why should I play around with something like this? I'm busy too, you know?"Amelia was shocked. "What do you mean then? I gave you this money to keep because of situations like this. In fact, I had to specifically put you in charge because of Ethan. What the fuck did you use the money for?""I used it, Amelia and that's it. I don't have to explain everything to you, do I? I'm your mother!" Ann stressed.Amelia felt a stab of annoyance at this. "Mom, are you kidding? What do you mean by that? How could you even use the company money? This is absurd!"Ann released a sigh, not at all guilty of her action. "This isn't my fault, dear Amelia.""Then whose fault is it?" Amelia yelled in anger. "You spent the company's backup money and you dare
"Alright boss, I will do my best," Sophia responded.Derek smiled. "Do you know who Clinton is?"There was a few minutes of silence. "You mean Clinton, the mafia lord? Or Clinton, one of our business partners?"Derek moved into the restroom. "Clinton, the mafia lord.""Well, I do know he's one of the oldest mafia lords here but not more than that. I could send you the details if you want actually or have someone ring you up. He's Thomas. He's very active in his job.""Do that immediately. I need to know something about him as quickly as possible.""Alright boss," Sophia finished and the line went off.Derek released a sigh and washed his hands. He was going to deal with Clinton for messing with his wife. He was going to teach him a lesson he would never forget.His phone made a vibration and a message popped up on his phone. It was a message from Thomas. Derek dialed his number and he picked it up immediately."Hello boss, I'm Thomas.""I've been expecting you. Did Sophia tell you why
"What! What happened?" Derek was shocked. He found it difficult to breathe for a moment. Even though Amelia had cheated on him, he still didn't want her to die. No, he loved her too much for that. And well, believed that things could actually get better between them especially after he had recovered his heirship. "Stop asking me foolish questions and get here at this moment!" Ann yelled and hung up. Derek released an exasperated sigh, his head reeling. He couldn't even imagine anything bad happening to Amelia. His phone beeped suddenly and a message popped up on his phone. It was a message from Ann. It was the name and address of the hospital that Amelia was admitted to. He looked at the men that were staring right at him with fear in their eyes. Thomas hurried to Derek. "Are you alright, boss? You are bleeding." Derek nodded once. "I'm fine, let's go," he muttered and walked out of the club with Thomas. "You are dismissed. I will call you later when I need you." "Yes boss," Tho
Derek nodded once. "Alright, I will be waiting for the papers," he hesitated and looked ahead at the door behind Ann as if Amelia would walk out that instance. Well, since Amelia wanted divorce too. It was only right for him to give her what she wanted. He was filled with sadness as he walked out of the hospital. He hesitated in front of the hospital and thought about everything he had been through at the hand of his in-laws. He was actually supposed to be happy that he was finally able to get a divorce but Derek was far away from it. He had never felt so sad in his life. It was too late, there was no bus or cars. And Derek doesn't have a car yet. So, he decided to walk back to his house, the one that Sophia had given him. Several cars pulled to a stop in front of him suddenly. Derek was forced to stop walking as the cars were blocking his way. The door opened and several men got down from the cars. They were clad in a black suit. Derek had never seen any of them before and won
