Brian and Anna sat in the living room opposite James, James had called a meeting with them, he had a very important announcement."Thank you both for coming," James began"I called you here to make a very important announcement, the Winslow Group will be launching a very special project""I want to build a hospital," James declared, "Not just any hospital, but a state-of-the-art facility that can make a real difference in our community"James turned to Anna"Make the announcement and also a contract of two billion dollars will be awarded to a company to build the hospital, so companies should apply for the contract""Yes, Mr Winslow. I'll do that immediately" Anna said giving a small nod.The news released by the Winslow Group detonated the entire south district.Countless companies applied for the contract and most of them got rejected even Darren's father, tried to get the Winslow family to award the contract to the Harris family business but his efforts were futile.The entire const
"Shit!"James could not believe what just happened although he was not injured due to the impact but his electric bike was damaged at the rear, it was impossible for him to ride it now.The Porsche just had a few scratches on it.James felt like he wanted to cry, he was so attached to his electric bike.Meanwhile, people were already gathering to see what had just happened, and the loud bang made by the impact caught a lot of attention.A well-dressed man stepped out of the luxury car, with a look of annoyance on his face drawing everyone's attention.The man, with an air of arrogance, looked at James and barked"Watch where you're parking, you imbecile! Do you know how expensive this car is?" "Edward?" James was not expecting to see him on his first day at work.He remembered his last encounter with Edward when he threw him out of the Martinez mansion when he was in desperate need of the money for Maureen's surgery, the Martinez family must have sent him to apply for the $2 billion c
"what's funny? Why are you laughing?" The security chief asked through gritted teeth.How could someone laugh after just losing his job?Is this man crazy?Is like he had a death wish or something.The security chief turned to the security guards behind him who were already brimming in anger "Teach this useless man a lesson! Beat him up mercilessly that he won't even be able to smile again"The security guards who were already brimming with anger strode over to James ready to devour him with the sticks they had in their hands.By the time they were done with him, James would be unable to even walk.But suddenly, a deafening horn sounded and all the employees dispersed because the Bentley stopped directly in the parking space reserved for the President.a middle-aged woman with an aura of authority came out of the Bentley, she looked professionally dressed in a stylish white shirt and leather pants, and she quickly walked down holding her phone in her hands.She quickly walked up to J
The President's office was on the top floor of the building and it occupied the entire floor.The President's office exuded opulence and power. The office had a massive, imposing desk sat at the center, a proof of authority. Behind the desk, was an expensive leather chair.In one corner, a private bar stood ready to cater to the president or any esteemed guests. A carefully organized bar cart displayed different premium spirits and crystal glassware.The glass walls offered panoramic views of the sprawling city below that allowed natural light to cascade into the room.James stood in front of the window looking at the City below as the warm sunlight brightened the room.A few days ago he was a common beggar who had not even a dime to his name and now he was one of the most powerful men in the world, even up till now he was not used to having so much power and wealth.A knock on the door interrupted James' thoughts as he turned away from the window to the entrance to see Anna standing
Alice, shocked by the unexpected condition, stared at Anna. "Smash a cake into Darren's face on a live stream? What does that have to do with the hospital contract?"Alice could not believe what Anna told her, why would the head of Winslow Group want to embarrass her fiancee on live stream, she thought she had a romantic interest in her. Or maybe he was jealous of Darren.Anna, keeping her composure, I have no idea why the President wants you to do that. But If you agree to this condition, the contract is surely yours."Alice hesitated, her mind racing to comprehend the bizarre demand. How would Darren take the news? Would he agree to do it? "But what about his reputation?" This would be very humiliating."Anna shrugged slightly, "Mr. Winslow's terms are firm. Take it or leave it."Feeling the weight of the decision, Alice contemplated the options. Accepting the condition meant securing the contract and potentially saving her family's reputation. However, the cost was a public and v
As the Livestream began, the room filled with an uncomfortable tension. Alice, holding the cake in her hands, and Darren standing by her side faced the camera,Within seconds the number of people streaming rose to 300,000 on urlive and all the online audience who had no idea of what was going on watched as the events unfolded. A flood of comments lit up the Livestream chat, ranging from confusion to laughter. Viewers typed furiously, trying to make sense of the scene before them.User123: What on earth am I watching? Another cake drama?Lobserver: This is better than any reality show, I swear.Curiouskitten: Did I miss something? Why is there a cake involved?Daredevil:Why is Alice holding a cake in her hand?Smileywiley: Is it their anniversary?Gregg: It can't be they've not been together for up to a yearAnderson: I think she's got to smash it into his face 😂Xandersavior: I know why but I have a feeling that what happened at Cherry Garden is about to repeat itself.Patriarch Alb
Alice, Melissa, and Patriarch Alberto avoided eye contact with Darren, the expressions on their faces were a mix of disbelief and disappointment, they did not know how Darren would react when he found out about the news.He was just humiliated in front of thousands of people on urlive, how would he feel when he realized that everything he did was in vain?Darren, confused looked from one face to another, he glanced at the television which was still mute but the headline was still written boldly below.Darren hurriedly asked"What happened? Did we not get the contract?"Patriarch Alberto spoke up, his voice was filled with disappointment "The President of Winslow Group chose another family for the contract"Darren's face instantly morphed from confusion to anger, his blood began to boil."What?? even after I did everything they asked?" Darren's anger reverberated through the room. "After all that humiliation? What was the point then?" He was just humiliated in front of thousands of p
Social media was on fire with everything that happened from Darren being humiliated on Livestream, to the President of Winslow Group announcing they would be awarding the contract to Reginald's cooperation to Darren being involved in an accident.A lot of people believed that all these events were connected and centered around the Winslow Group.Some said Darren must have offended the new president one way or the other.James was seated comfortably in his executive chair when he heard the news of what happened to Darren.He was also on the Livestream that Darren humiliated himself in, he watched the Livestream with a smirk playing on his lips.He remembered when Darren smashed a cake into his face at the Cherry Garden, now Darren felt the same humiliation he felt, now he must have learned a valuable lesson not to treat people with disdain. Revenge felt so satisfying but he did not intend for him to get into a car crash, maybe karma was just catching up on him.Besides if he was drivi
