CHAPTER 21: IT CAN'T BE!Justin was up, bright and early the next morning. He took his bath and wore something casual but nice, which was made available by Mr Bishop. Surprisingly, it was the right fit for him. He wore a simple a pair black jean pants, and an ash turtle-neck shirt. He looked at himself in the mirror, admiring what he saw. Then, he headed downstairs. As he walked through the house, the attendants and guards bowed, greeting him. He smiled at them, nodding his head in reciprocation of their salutation. As he got to the dining area, he found Mr Bishop already there, having breakfast, casually dressed a bathrobe."Good morning," Justin greeted with a friendly smile. "Justin, you're up early. Hope you slept well?" Mr Bishop asked."Sure, I did," he replied, sitting down beside Mr Bishop.The kitchen attendants hurriedly brought his breakfast for him, greeting him as they served it. He smiled, appreciating them.Mr Bishop observed Justin's courtesy, taking note of it. "
CHAPTER 22: DAY AT THE OFFICE."Justin?"Joey was awestruck when he realized that the individual standing so freely with his over all boss was none other than Justin."But how?" he wondered. "How in the world is- I mean, what is he doing here, and with Mr Newton Bishop?" Joey cracked his head trying to fathom what the hell it was that Justin was doing in the company of such a man of affluence.Suddenly, he got jealous and angry, even having not figured out why Justin was with Mr Bishop. He still felt Justin didn't deserve to be in the company of Mr Bishop. He felt that he deserved to be the one there. "Please sir, let me relieve you of this obligation and take your guest around the department," Mr Cornell requested."As you wish," Mr Bishop gestured with his hands, that he carries on. "Thank you sir," he appreciated, then turned to Justin. "So, this is the accounts department. There is no dime spent in Cap Industries that we aren't aware of. And we pride ourselves as a department
CHAPTER 23: NEW BOUNDARIES."Seeing how invested you are in the welfare and smooth running of Cap Industries, well, not just Cap Industries alone, ever considered taking up the leadership of the company?" Mr Bishop asked."I'm sorry, you mean leadership, and not just working for you?" Justin raised his eyebrows as he tilted his head, wondering."Yeah. I mean, you'll still be working for me, but at an executive level," Mr Bishop clarified."Phew! I- I don't know what to say," Justin responded, not expecting that at all."You were perceptive and observant enough to spot the flaws within the two businesses, things I had missed," Mr Bishop continued."Your judgement will be impeccable, since you're not sentimental about the assessment of the credibility of my workers. And that's why I am very certain you'd make a great CEO."Justin's eyes widened in surprise. "You want me to be the CEO?" "Of course, who else would I rather entrust my affairs to, if not my competent son?"Mr Bishop notice
CHAPTER 24: SUBTLE THERAPY.Justin looked intently at Agnes. There was no doubt about the fact that she was beautiful. All who gazed upon her could tell at an instance of her beauty. She carried herself on her averagely busty curvaceous body frame. Justin could tell she was a regular at a gym. "Excuse me, I asked if I could get you anything," she reminded Justin. "No, I'm okay. I don't need anything."As a matter of fact, he did need something. He was a bit hungry, but he sure wasn't going to be asking this stranger to meet his needs, even though he could. He didn't like the way she seemed to be groveling around him. Or was he mistaking her actions for something it wasn't? Justin gave her the benefit of the doubt. Either way, he was done trying to get familiar with any girls anytime soon, after his experience with Samantha. "Okay, but if you do, you know where to find me," Agnes said, running her eyes all over Justin seductively as she walked away, making extra effort to wiggle
CHAPTER 25: ANALYSIS.Mr Bishop returned from the meeting. He headed back to his office using the elevator, accompanied by Gomez."When do you think will the perfect day for the introduction?" Mr Bishop asked Gomez. "The introduction of my son as the new CEO I mean.""You are already handing over to him?" Gomez asked.'Yes, do you think it's too fast?" Mr Bishop inquired."Not at all sir, I just thought you should give him more time to get familiar with the company operation generally."Mm," Mr Bishop sighed as he thought tapping Gomez shoulder as they arrived his office.Mr Bishop entered his office as Gomez had pressed the unlocked button meeting Justin deep in his thoughts."Hey son."Mr Bishop had stood there for some time, and Justin couldn't notice his presence."Oh! You're back," Justin asked, snapping out of his thoughts."Yes," Mr Bishop responded.Justin nodded his head in acknowledgement."You don't have to think on the matter at the moment," Mr Bishop said. "Just enjoy you
CHAPTER 26: FAMILY TIES.Joey glared at Justin as they proceeded towards the main entrance of the office complex. Justin had no idea Joey was even there, as he was surrounded by Mr Bishop's guards, who were armed.Joey was about to make his, attempting to reach Justin, when he was interrupted, startling him."Hey Joe. Hope you haven't forgotten about our game night tonight huh?" a colleague of his said, stepping in front of him. "Yeah, game night. How can I forget?" Joey laughed nervously, as he stretched to see where Justin was. "So, I was thinking, shouldn't we get the girls over? The more the merrier. You know what I mean?" the colleague said, smiling. "Yeah yeah, that'll be awesome," Joey seemed impatient. "Okay, one more thing. I think we-""Could you please get the hell outta my face man! You just interrupted me," Joey yelled, pushing him aside, moving forward. "Jeez dude. Why are all worked up?" Joey's colleague furrowed his brow, wondering what was wrong with Joey. He loo
CHAPTER 27: BARRIERS.Detective Savannah was done from the bathroom, and she headed to her bedroom.Trying to get dressed, the doorbell rang but she ignored it. Moreover she wasn't expecting anyone.But she heard the doorbell rang the second time. "Who could that be?" She quickly dressed up and ran downstairs.She got to the door and she peeped through the peephole, she saw it was her long time friend Kyle. They had been friends right before her parent's demise."Oh, it's you, come in," she said as she opened the door and he got in."What are you doing in my house by this time of the day?" Detective Savannah asked Kyle."How did you know I was home? Because you know my work schedule very well, it's not always predictable," she said."I wasn't coming to your house specifically, I was just passing by, and I decided to come check up on you," Kyle said placing both hands in his pocket."I hope that wasn't a bad idea?" Kyle asked."No, not at all," Detective Savannah responded."Come have
CHAPTER 28: BACK TO BASE.Justin woke up bright and early the next day. It sure seemed to look like a beautiful morning. He stood up from his bed and walked close to his window and slightly opened the curtains. He looked through sighting the rising of the sun, as his window faced East."Indeed I see better days ahead," he said, as he took a deep breath in and out, smiling.He headed to the bathroom, and took his bath, getting ready just in case Mr Bishop would require him to follow him to the office again.Shortly after, he was done taking his bath, and he quickly dressed up nicely and walked towards the door. Attempting to open the door, he heard a knock on the door."Yes, come in," he said, shifting backwards.Frank opened the door and entered the room and greeted, "Good morning, master Justin.""Good morning, Frank," Justin responded. He noticed Frank holding a bag from a Zara store."I trust you slept well?" Frank asked."Yes, I did, thank you," Justin replied."I can see you are
