Getting to the office, Raymond sat down to work as usual. This time around, Mayor decided to show up a minute before his official resumption time. With a grin, he said, “I made it in time today, right?” He smirked. “Good for you then” Raymond retorted After completing the file he was working on, he placed his laptop on his table. “Come and see” he called out to Mayor who had already taken his position to doze off that morning “I'm not interested in sports news” he groaned before he didn't want to leave his comfort zone “I never said it's a sport. Just come around” Raymond said with a stern voice this time around. Mayor bought his tone, jumping to his feet, he waddled to Raymond's desk. With a smile playing on his lips, Raymond tapped the play button of the animation he had created for the company. “You don't mean it” Mayor yelled as he veered backwards He was surprised at his work. He never thought Raymond was going to pull through the task, that's why he didn't bo
Mr. Hayden was getting pissed at his confidence level. He had expected him to be whimpering because of the conditions he was reeling out for him. At this point, he was getting convinced that Raymond killed the job on his own, but he couldn't voice it out because of Mr. Brooks. Earlier, Mr. Brooks had asked him to make sure he frustrates Raymond, saying he knew he had gone through corners so that he would keep his job and impress him. Left for him alone, he would have let him be, but his boss was going to relieve him of his job. Acting as an angel at the expense of his job was a no-no for him. “I know why you are confident,” he said to resume the conversation. “That is?” “You think I would allow you to go home and meet your helper? No way, that's the last thing on my mind” “So where do you want me to be for 72 hours?” Raymond scoffed. He never imagined the conversation was going to take this turn. Snapping his head at the screen, he saw Mr. Brooks smiling back at him.
Finally, it was Monday, which meant Raymond's break had elapsed. During his break, he didn't sit back doing nothing, he went about his own business, straightening things that needed to be straightened and also making sure all his staff were not slacking in their respective duties. One thing Raymond was grateful for was that Niko and Adam didn't slack in their duties of upholding the company when he was away. That morning, he woke up early as usual so that he would get to work before 8 a.m. After preparing, he decided to stop by the kitchen. As usual, his food was on the table, but Julia was not around.He was about to go and search her room when she walked into the kitchen. “Good morning” he greeted “Good morning. I hope my family doesn't come up with something to spoil your mood for the week” Julia said as she went about cleaning the dishes she had used in preparing the meal. “They won't. I'm already in their good books now” he replied with a smile as he settled down to his m
Even after the two weeks of her encounter with Raymond, Sarah couldn't take her mind off him. She was so obsessed with him that she didn't mind going the extra mile to do what she had in mind. Before Raymond came into the picture, she wasn't punctual at work but ever since she began to stalk him, she was always at work even before Raymond would arrive. She would try to talk to him, but he would snub her completely and go his way. That morning, Sarah had just finished having an intimate session with her husband. While she was cleaning up, an idea struck her mind. She wanted to discard it at first on the grounds that it wouldn't work out, but after several thoughts, she decided to go with her plan. That morning, Raymond sat behind his desk, staring into space as he reviewed his plans in his head. The previous day, he had spoken to his lawyer, who promised to get back to him before the end of the week. The original plan was discarded because Julia had sought help from he
On seeing the messenger, Raymond began to mumble prayers to his maker to save him from trouble. He didn't know the motive of the messenger, but deep down, he felt it was Sarah's doing. He continued to pray in his head until Mayor walked in. After a sort of eye-communication with Raymond, he turned to the messenger, who was waiting for the perfect time to speak. “What's your mission?” He asked. “The CEO wants to see Mr. Raymond” he replied and then stepped out of the office Raymond's heart fell at his words. He knew it was going to come to this, but what he didn't know was, it was going to come sooner than expected. Sighing, he lowered himself to his seat as he blamed his maker for unanswered prayers. “What business do you have with the CEO and his wife? It seems you are already gaining grounds in the company leaving an old cargo like me” Mayor smirked with his hand across his chest. “I don't know man, things aren't going smoothly again” he cried Mayor gave him a con
When the news of what was happening got to the ears of the Brooks, they were shocked. Raymond had given them every reason to trust him and so they were torn between believing the CEO and his wife and Raymond's innocence. As all these were going on, they had never summoned Raymond to find out the truth from him. They were waiting patiently for when he would come to the house to deliver his report. Also, to avoid feeling embarrassed in the long run, they decided to question the CEO and his wife extensively to find out the truth. The incriminating video that was presented, further made them confused that even Mr Brooks wanted to summon Raymond almost immediately but he had to pause. That Friday, Raymond left home with a heavy heart. Because of the accusation, a lot of fingers have been pointed at him. Mayor was the only person who believed him. He felt Raymond was incapable of doing something like that. He had a strong belief that it was a set up but he didn't voice i
After re-watching the video, Julia was convinced that the allegation against Raymond was true beyond every measure of doubt. Because of this, she decided to engage him in a silent treatment. For the next few days, she kept to herself. Each time she saw him approaching, she would scurry to her room or if they crossed paths, she would make sure they didn't have bodily contact. A lot of things that she usually does like cleaning up, and preparing food, she stopped everything. Raymond on his part tried every means to make her believe his part of the story but she was adamant. Niko was enraged when he learned about Julia's disbelief. Because of this, he tried all that was within his power to make sure Raymond revealed the video but as usual he was adamant. Raymond kept saying that he wasn't going to do that for any reason. He told him that he believed that the more he tried to convince her, she was going to listen to his story someday. Frustrated and angry at Raymond, N
With anger surging in his veins, Raymond stormed to James Patterson's office with Mayor closely behind. Mayor had followed him because he wanted to make sure he went to the CEO's office to reveal the evidence. When he got into the elevator that would take him to the CEO's office, Mayor took in a deep breath of relief and then made a u-turn to his office to kick start work for the day. Raymond on the other hand was trying all that was within his power not to toss the resignation letter aside. Since Sarah had refused to come out clean, he was going to dent her image instead of his just like she had planned. When he got to the floor, after a deep breath, he walked towards the office and then rapped on the door. He was about to tap on it the second time when James ushered him in. James was on a call but when he saw Raymond, he ended the call and then with a stern face snapped, "You have been relieved from your job. What else do you want?" "I have a favor to request" "Wh
