James who was so upset by how things turned out, headed home early , so he wouldn't throw a tantrum in the company building and make a fool out of himself, since everyone was now laughing at him and calling him incompetent because Anthony Martin, who just appeared out of nowhere, was appointed as ceo.James sat in the living room with his wife, plotting what he was going to do next when the door opened and Iris walked in.James frowned as he saw her because he now viewed her as his enemy. “What are you doing here?" James asked Iris immediately as she walked into the mansion.Iris looked at his brother and his wife who were glaring at her,“What do you mean what am I doing here? I live here." She replied, as she was confused as to why he would ask such a silly question.She has lived in this mansion her whole life and even though she married Anthony, she still doesn't know where he lives.It's just been a week, so she was sure he would contact her soon.She decided to walk upstairs and
“Where are your maids?"Iris called her maids who were listening to the conversation and they ran out to get the ice pack ,she placed on her leg.They also helped her pack her clothes and important documents and loaded it up in Anthony's car.They drove out of the mansion and drove to a nearby hotel.Anthony settled the maids with handsome rewards and told them to find a job elsewhere, since going back to the mansion was not a safe choice.He didn't want to take any chances by hiring maids he didn't know if they were working for James, or Travis and just treating Iris well.“But I will do a good job. We don't need the money, we just want to work under Mrs Iris. "One of the maids argued.“Did I stutter when I told you to leave or do you want me to take back the money I gave you? "Anthony asked with a glare and the maids flinched.He was being very careful of who he keeps beside him and brings to his house ,because what happened to him in the past has taught him a valuable lesson. “I th
On Anthony's first day of work as the CEO, he entered into his office for the first time and ordered his bodyguards and some people he hired to inspect the office, as he stood in one corner and was going through a file that was submitted to him earlier. Ten minutes into the search, one of his bodyguards pushed the chair he should be sitting closer to him.“I found long needles in the chair." The bodyguard announced, as he slightly pushed the cushion of the chair down, and the pointy mouth of more than twenty pins came into view.Anthony smirked and tilted his head to the side.“They really outdid them while trying to welcome me here, I can't believe this. Throw it away." Anthony said as he shook his head in disbelief.“Should this be reported?” The bodyguard asked, and he waved his hand dismissively. “Just leave it. They might say I came here and planted all this myself so that I could start drama when I just came here.” Anthony pointed out, and the bodyguard grit his teeth and just
Anthony removed his cufflinks and put them in his pockets. He rolled up my sleeves , as the two muscular men, bigger than him in size , stood in front of him trying to intimate me , but he stood my ground.Size wasn't everything. They might be big and muscular, but do they have skills?“Don't try anything funny." One said as he placed his hand on Anthony's shoulder and without wasting a second, Anthony grabbed his hand with one hand and grabbed his suit with the other hand and he saw a smug look on the bodyguards face, as if Anthony could not lift him because Anthony was smaller, Anthony turned slightly so his back was to him and lifted him, as he let out a girly scream and Anthony flipped the bodyguard and his back landed harshly on the floor.“Hey what are you..." The second bodyguard came rushing to his friend's aid and aimed a punch at Anthony, he bent down slightly and with all the powers he could muster , he punched the bodyguard straight in his stomach that was left unprotecte
Sitting alone in his study and looking at his laptop , Anthony could finally have some time to look at the names of the shareholders who were not on his side and not on anyone's side too.They were just neutral in the company and he needed someone with power on his side.There was a particular shareholder his private investigator told him would be the best man to get on his side.Anthony wanted to speak to a particular shareholder to get on his good side, because he knew the man had a lot of influence in the company. Forming a good relationship with the man will make his business life more smooth.Anthony researched about the man's likes and saw he likes horse racing and there was a particular place he goes to watch the horse race. There was a horse race soon, Anthony knew it was the only place he would see him, so Anthony cleared his schedule for that day and he was happy it was on a Saturday when he didn't need to go to the company. Anthony got dressed in his casual clothes since
John's face twisted in anger. “I thought you came here to ask for a favor, why are you getting on my nerves, don't you know you should be doing everything in your power to appease me , so I will do what you asked?"John asked Anthony in an angry voice, as the corner of his lips twitched in annoyance. John wondered why Iris would end up with a nobody, who he hasn't even heard his name before, he found it insulting.He chased after Iris for years and she refused to date him even for once and would quickly leave from any event whenever she sees him.He wonders what Iris saw in Anthony.It made him so angry, he clenched his fists and grit his teeth.Anthony was unfazed by his reaction and adjusted his weight on his chair.“I came here to make a request , but that does not mean that I will put it over my wife's comfort." Anthony replied and John looked away from Iris and looked at Anthony and they held a staring competition with Anthony emerging as the winner, John sighed and looked at th
Well he guessed that Mina's family doesn't like him ,because he took their father's properties and is now CEO in Frank corporation.“Mr Anthony, did you invite her here?”John asked Anthony. “I haven't even met this woman before, why would I invite her to this meeting, when I know it's private?”Anthony asked with an arched eyebrow. “If it wasn't you, then it must be your wife ,did you tell her about her meeting ?because there is no way Mrs Mina will just show up here just to exchange greetings with me ,because her house is far from here, her workplace is far from here and I've never met her here before eating or doing anything.”John told him.“Mrs Mina,you have exchanged your greetings. I think you should leave, you are causing a nuisance to us.” Anthony told Mina as he saw that John was getting agitated by her words.Mina dramatically made an oh with her mouth and placed her hand on her chest.“Oh sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just exchanging greetings and I am also trying to remin
The next day Anthony was looking out the window as the secretary was telling him of the meetings he had the next day. “Is there anyone that suddenly quit their job or disappeared 5 years ago?” Anthony asked his secretary while they were in the car returning home.The secretary paused.“Sir, I will look into it again , if you find it hard to believe, but last time that you asked me I told you no.” She replied and he sighed.It was hard for him to believe.Anthony returned from work and Iris was already home sitting on the living room couch with some files on the center table in front of her, as she was looking over a paper she was holding.When she heard the door open, she looked up and saw Anthony. She met his eyes for a second and then looked away.“Welcome back." She greeted him in a low voice and turned back to the paper she was holding. Anthony walked towards her , and stretched out his hand holding a gift bag he bought for her.“Here ,I bought you something, open it and check w
