“Hu… hu” Venice stammered. Aaron angrily stormed into the hallway and yanked her on her feet. “What is the meaning of this? I thought you would be smart enough to know when to stop. When did you start being so stupid, huh.” Venice looked back in shock and saw Micheal with a smirk on his face. Her heart dropped in fear, “I… I…” she stammered. “I don’t need your explanation. If you want to sink to the button alone, you can do that. Don’t you dare affect the whole family? Darius is now in jail still waiting for his release and here you are creating another trouble. I don’t want any other problem, go apologize to Emily and Micheal, and let’s go home, now” Aaron commanded. Venice looked at him in shock and stood up with an annoyed look, “You want me to apologize to them? Why should I do that? I am their mother and I can do whatever I want. If they still don’t do what I asked of them then they can start thinking of not being a part of the family anymore “ Aaron wished he could just

The rest of the day went by as peacefully as it could. Aaron and Venice sure took Pete's threat seriously this time. Micheal indeed had a lot of things to do at the company. Now that he is in charge, he has to make up for all those years he has missed while not knowing his real identity. He must admit that Steph did a very good job taking everything upon himself till he got back. For he would have had to start from scratch. “Boss, the new recruitment for this month has already been submitted. Do you want me to go through every single one of them “ Pete asked. He held the information of each applicant and could apprehend why his boss would be interested in the recruitment of new members. This is the job of the HR and as the big boss, he didn’t need to stress himself too much on this. “Mm,” Micheal said silently. Without lifting his head stretched out his hand. With no other option, Pete placed the document in his hand and asked, “Boss, I still don’t understand why you want

“Mr. Marcus, you are going to give me an answer to what I just said. I would like to start working now if you don’t mind” Micheal said trying to act in ignorance to his sudden change. “That will not be a problem. But I still don’t understand why you should be here for such a matter. Is it that the big boss has nothing else for you to do upstairs?” Marc asked. Micheal was beginning to be annoyed with this nosy person. What happened to the intimidating and dreadful HR department? Can it be that they have lost their spark and just sit around doing nothing? What is the meaning of this? Marc could see the change on Michael's face and knew that he was getting annoyed. “You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. I just..…” He tried to explain while still smiling. “Mr.Marc, I am here on behalf of the big boss. You and I should know already that the big boss does things none of us can understand… Ah,” Micheal paused and smiled lightly, “ I just remembered that you have never seen o

The old Emily would have stopped her from making fun of Kendrick. But with the change in her thanks to Micheal, she knew she could never let herself be taunted anymore. She stared hard at Kendrick who was having an unusual smile on his face and smirked. “Emily, I thought people who “own” this company do not need to see the receptionist before they enter. Ah, what is wrong with people today? Can’t they just see those who are more important and those who are not” Rita teases without holding back. “I wish I knew too,” Emily said trying to restrain herself from laughing out loud. Kendrick turned with a sharp loom in his eyes and asked, “Who are you talking about? It can’t be me, right? For I do not miss words with people with short sightseeing” The receptionist had a calm look on his face as he stared at the show before him. It seems the showdown in this company is becoming more interesting. “Do you hear a dog barking?” Rita asked. “I thought I heard one too. Its breath smells ba

Emily stood up with a smile and ran towards Micheal.“Hei, slow down,” he said with a concerned look.“You are here,” Emily said.Looking at her calm mood now, one will not believe that she is the same Emily who reprimanded Kendrick earlier.“I heard something about not caring about someone. Did something happen to someone or not? What going on” Micheal asked.Emily was about to say something else when Rita beat her to it.“She is talking about Kendrick” “Kendrick Jones?” he asked.“Yes, that one. Who would have thought that he is still the same with that trashy personality or his? You should have seen how arrogant he was when he tried to knock us down with his car. And he still had the temerity to try and kick us out of the company just because his father is on an executive board” Rita said in one breath.“Oh, he is here already,” Michael said when he realized, “Wait? Did you say he almost knocked you down”He quickly held Emily’s hands and asked, “Are you okay? Did you hurt you? Sh

“So what do you say ?” Marc has lost all the patience he has in him and knows it’s time to tear of the face of this good-for-nothing person.But just when he wanted to do that, Micheal stopped him.What is this assistant of the CEO trying to do?Has this person offended him enough for him to take such a step?He doesn’t know what Micheal has planned, but as someone who has been working in this company for a while now knew what is about to happen.Ana for a moment there he almost felt pity for Kendrick.It’s a shame it came and left as fast as the thought came.“You can help me get a job in a branch company because your father is an executive member? Ain’t you afraid he might lose his job because of your utterances?” Micheal asked.“Lose his job? Is that even possible? Someone like you who has yet to see the real world can never understand the life of the rich. You need to get in line to see what is going to be shown to you. Since I said I can help you get a job then I can do that. Yo

Kendrick clasped his hands in anger…“You…”“Me what?” Micheal asked with a scoff.“Before you decide to say or do anything, you first have to read the room to see if it’s better to speak up or not. You decided to show off your power as someone related to a branch executive. Since when is your family next in line to make decisions for this company? You and your so-called pride which is preventing you from doing what is right are going to cost you these very minutes. Mr. Marc..”Marc who was being called was drowned back from his thoughts.Why does he have this feeling that this secretary’s aura is as scary as the big boss?Oh is it just his imagination or has even the influence of a secretary changed just because he is close to the big boss?Then this is so intimidating.“Y. Yes,” he stammered.“What are the rules of this company concerning someone who doesn’t respect this company policy? Does it mean nothing to you? Is this how you say you handle matters in this HR? This is a real ey
