Raymond was pissed as he stormed towards his office. In his anger, he didn't bother to give the mini crowd behind him a glance, he clenched and unclenched his fists, trying to let go of the anger that had invaded him. To his delight, Mayor was not in the office when he got there but he had left a note on his table stating the board of directors was having a meeting with all the heads of departments. This was another golden opportunity to get more information about Dexx company. Ignoring his conflicting emotions, he began to go through the file, noting down important points and making a photocopy of some documents he felt were important. At the end of the day, he was able to gather all the information he needed so there was no need to return to the cabinet for the files. He had begun working on the files he had been assigned to, when Mayor returned. "We will be changing offices with the personnel manager on the third floor." Mayor revealed, grabbing a cartoon, he began to
Clutching his sides with both hands, Raymond continued to laugh at Julia who was finding it difficult to raise a 100kg weight. The previous night after dinner, he had informed her that he was going to the gym for a workout and she decided to follow him. He thought she was joking only for him to wake up that morning to see her in her yoga pants, vest, and running shoes. The first issue they encountered was jogging to the gym which was about a thousand meters away from their home because of her, he had to stop severally for Julia to catch her breath. During the warm-up session, Julia, who was already stressed, opted to lie on the floor, watching the others doing the warm-up exercise. And now, she decided to lift a weight. "I can do it." She scoffed, pissed that he was making fun of her. "I know you can." He smirked. Putting his palms together, he began to clap, cheering her up but Julia felt he was mocking her so she left the weight and then flopped on the floor. After
A day after the unexpected email from Sarah, Raymond sat on the balcony reviewing his company progress when Julia appeared from nowhere and then stood before him. With her hand on her waist, she asked, "Are you certain your family doesn't think you are dead already?" In shock, Raymond's laptop almost tumbled from his thigh. He was not expecting her question and also, her straightforward manner contributed to his surprise. "What are you talking about?" He managed to say, shutting his laptop, he set it aside. "You know what I am talking about Ray. We have been married for almost a year yet, none of your family members deemed it fit to check on you. No visit, no call, no text, like come on, this is so freaking annoying." She scowled, throwing her hands over her head. "I have you so I don't need them." He smirked. "That's a big fat lie. You need them Ray," she cringed, sitting beside him, she placed her hand on his shoulder and with a long face said, "I don't like the way th
In accordance with her husband's instructions, Sarah had been working from home. She wasn't pleased about it but had no choice but to oblige. After Raymond's humiliation three months ago, James couldn't raise his head to face his workers. He was certain they believed Raymond and it was going to be worthless trying to toss his claim under the floor mat. Also, he did it to protect Sarah's image which was on the verge of being rubbed in the mud. Since the incident up until now, he hasn't said anything concerning the issue to his wife because he was already mapping out ways to bring Raymond down for what he did. Unknowingly to him, Sarah has other plans in mind. Because he was monitoring her, she hadn't been able to reach out to those she wanted but the opportunity soon presented itself when her husband left home for a brief meeting. She sprung into action and after sending the emails, she locked it so that in case her husband decided to go through her mails, he wouldn't find i
After a few minutes of trying to remain awake, Mayor sat upright as he ran his eyes through the office in search of the parcel he was expecting. Earlier that day, Mr. Brooks had called, informing him of a confidential parcel he was going to mail to him that morning. He had told him to keep it safely pending when he would request for it without the involvement of the third party but he did otherwise but asking Raymond to handle it. When he saw the parcel, he let out a sigh of relief and then reclined on his seat for another bout of sleep. Raymond didn't say a word to him nor did he act as if he was awake moments ago. He didn't mind if Mayor bored him with work, the fact that he had been of help to him for a long time was enough for him to show his gratitude and the only way for him to do this was to work in silence. If not because of his poor attitude to work, there was no way he would have access to the documents he had been frolicking with. Sighing, he returned to his a
The day had finally arrived, the day when Raymond, Julious, and Antonio would reveal the CEO's wife. That morning, Raymond woke up with a positive energy. He couldn't wait for 10 p.m. so that he and his team would launch their plan. He called Antonio, Julius, and Demi, reminding them of their roles and the meeting time before he stepped out of the room that morning. Julia was still fast asleep, since it was a school-free day, he didn't bother to wake her. He was relaxing at a movie after preparing breakfast when his phone began to ring. The caller ID revealed it was Niko on the line so he quickly swiped to receive it. "Are you busy?" Niko asked, not bothering to exchange pleasantries. "Not really." "Expect me in ten minutes then." He said and then hung up the call. Raymond was about to start weighing the possible reasons why Niko had called him when Julia, who didn't bother to brush her hair stuttered into the living room. "You look like a mess." He smirked. "I'm
Demi and his team did a perfect job in soiling Sarah's name. They made sure all the radio stations aired the news, the TV showed the footage and the newspapers carried pictures and incriminating messages. Even the media houses who had refused to help Raymond and his team earlier became a part of the dispersal. That evening after work, the team decided to meet at Raymond's house but this time around, it wasn't about plotting against Sarah, rather, it was time to celebrate their success. Julia, glad that it was a success, prepared a heavy meal for the celebration even without them asking her to do so. She was so excited and this was one of the ways she could show her excitement. "I'm so happy for you guys." Julia grinned as she served the men the food she had prepared. "Thank you." They said in unison. To hasten the serving, Raymond had to join her and soon they were seated and had begun to delve into their food. While they were eating, they chatted about Demi's hard work th
Three days after the scandal broke out, the internet was still on fire, courtesy of Demi and his relentless team. Raymond soon got tired of the display so he went ahead to express his displeasure to Demi but instead of shutting down the scandal, Demi and his team brought up a controversial topic. The topic was focused on the CEO's wife with a different topic entirely but people knew who the topic was pointing to even though they didn't point it out directly. Tired of speaking with Demi, Raymond kept his fingers crossed as he watched what would become of the news. Meanwhile, at work, Raymond, Antonio, and Julius became objects of pity. Wherever they went, they were spoken to calmly and they apologized on behalf of the CEO and his wife who had failed to show up. The board of directors was not left out. They apologized to the three men and they also promised to punish the CEO and his wife accordingly. Mr Brooks was yet to say a word to the trio so everyone kept their fingers cr
