“You are always trying to speak up for that Bryce person, but you do not see things from your family’s perspective. You always wanted to have your way since you were a child and at first, I thought it was okay. After all, it will make you a strong person before others . You have always been smart and understand what to do at the right time. But now I am beginning to wonder if that is a blessing in disguise or a curse” Venice said in one breath.“You should know I have the family’s best interest at hand. You can’t simply expect me to do things that I know are way out of line. Mother please …”Emily tried to reason with her mother again, but that only seemed to fuel her anger.“You have the family’s best interest at hand? You think, that getting married without anyone knowing is having the family’s best interest at heart. Running away with him to the court to sign your marriage certificate, is something I know a smart person like you will never do. But hell no, you did exactly that. You
Pah!Emily held her hand on her cheeks in fright as she stared directly into her mothers eyes.There was no anger or sorrow on her face, she was just stunned beyond words.Did her mother just slapped her?This… this…“You better watch how you talk to me, young lady. After all, I am still your mother and there is no way I will allow you to talk to me in such a manner” Venice said as she breathed in and out in anger.Emily has never suffered such grievance with anyone not to talk of her mother.Just as she was lost and couldn’t urge a word, someone opened the door and stood there with anger on his face.Seeing Michael, Emily was shocked and tried to speak up but what came out was only a whisper.“Micheal”Seeing Micheal, Venice became a bit scared in her heart.But thinking that Micheal has been a lackey for her family forever, she quickly calmed down and raised her head with a righteous and arrogant look on her face.“Good that you are here. I was waiting for you” Venice said calmly.
“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
“Boss, how did I do? Was my acting superb” Pete said with a faltering smile. Micheal rolled his eyes at this person. He didn’t look anything like his previous self. The people in the city will be shocked to find out that the right-hand man of BYC’s CEO acts like this in private. “Why didn’t you react in this manner when those two were around ?” Micheal asked with a smirk. Pete continued to smile pretending to be obvious to the hidden words of his boss. And he didn’t need to be told who “those two” his boss was talking about. “You know why, boss. I just wanted you to see that with you as my backer I can do whatever I want in this city. Ah, it’s so refreshing to know such a great, Po..…” Pete was interrupted by Micheal who was tired of his bootlicking. “Okay okay. You did great. Now let’s leave” he said and walked away. One can see the invisible tail of Pete wagging in excitement. He just got praised by his boss. And it just so happened that he was the first among everyone el
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 t
“Yes sir” “You said there is someone here to see me? You can send the person in now” Manager Marc answered and hurriedly hung up. Alice smiled sweetly at Micheal. “He is ready to see you now” Micheal answered while standing up, “ Thank you” Just as he had taken a few steps and almost reached the door to the manager’s office, he heard her say, “Don’t forget to see me before you leave I still have a lot of things to ask you. I do have more questions I wanna ask you. That is if you don’t mind” Hearing her seductive and sweet voice, Micheal felt goosebumps all over his body, but he tried not to show it and gave an affirmation before he left missing the cunning smile on her face. Micheal entered the office expecting to see an old, winkly, grumpy old man. But instead, he was met with a young-looking man who seemed to be in his early thirties. If not for the swollen mouth and bulged stomach which seems to be the result of intense drinking, he would have been a very handsome young ma
“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 or
“You?” Kendrick walked out of his car with a nonchalant look. “Ow, who do we have here? Isn’t this the most beautiful Emily? What’s up?” he asked with a smile. He was indeed surprised to see the woman he once wanted to have before him again. Not only is she looking more beautiful but also she looks alluring and seems to age backwards. This kind of woman is someone all men would want to have. With also her cold personality she was too eye-catching to be ignored. It’s such a shame that such beauty chose someone like Micheal and not him. Thinking about the past, Kendrick’s expression changed into a cold one as he stared at her. He looked at her closely and it seemed like she was not leaving the rich wife’s life Micheal promised back in the day. Those words still echo in his head and before he was so enraged but thinking about it now and how Emily seems not to be doing well, it all seems like a joke. “You are not the one to take care of her needs. I might not have now but seems
