As much as Lawton could remember, his father was a strict man who barely had time for jokes.He loved him as a son but also wanted him to be prepared enough to take over his company.He always chastised him over any little misconduct.His father also didn't like to talk a lot but the man in front of him had been talking nonstop.Lawton is confused as he does not know if he's overthinking things or if he is right about everything.Lawton's phone suddenly rang and it was Smithson.Lawton considers telling Smithson about having tea with his father but decides not to."Excuse me," he said, as he stood up to pick up Smithson's call."Where are you, young master?" Smithson asked as Lawton answered."I'm in my way," Lawton said."I would be there in twenty minutes," he added."Ok young master," Smithson said, as he hung up the phone.Smithson looked at his phone and knew Lawton was not being honest with him as the distance between Amanda's office and the restaurant was just five minutes.He
Amanda's quest for answers isn't satisfied after checking the sales record as she stands up.She then started to pace around her office before opening the shelves.Amanda wanted to know more.She brought out documents from when Barry started his company and made sure to lock the door of her office before sitting down.Amanda carefully went through the company's database and noticed the lack of consistency in the documents that had been taking place for years.This gets Amanda confused as she wonders if Barry was in cohort with the other staff or if the staff have just never noticed the inconsistencies."Did they all just decide to ignore it?" She said to herself, as she continued to swipe through the papers."This is so glaring," she added."Someone must have noticed something," she continued.Amanda stood up and placed the documents back on the shelf.She then contemplates going outside her office to talk to some staff about what she had just noticed.Amanda walked towards the door o
Back at the office, Clara is surprised at why Amanda seemed so serious.She was acting a little bit too nice to her considering the fact they weren't friends.Clara crossed her legs as she watched Amanda look at her in silence."You are not talking," Clara said to Amanda who was rethinking her decision.Amanda summons up the courage and asks Clara if she has ever noticed something wrong with the company's database."I don't understand what you mean," Clara said."Please elaborate," she added.Amanda pauses for a while as she wonders how she is going to ask Clara what she wants to know in a way she wouldn't suspect anything was wrong."I was just going through some documents I saw on the shelf and there were some inconsistencies," Amanda said."It has been going on for years," Amanda continued."Have you ever noticed something like this?" She added.Clara is nonchalant about this as she doesn't seem interested in the topic."I don't think it's any of our business," Clara said."We once
"I should leave now," Amanda said, as she stood up."You should rest here for a while," Barry said pointing to a relaxing chair in his office.Amanda decided to relax in Barry's office as this might help her with her research."Thank you," she said, as she walked towards the chair.This surprises Barry as the Amanda he knew would easily agree to his offer.He then put a call across to Clara and asked her to not let anyone come into his office as he was busy.Back in the car, Lawton's face is discombobulated as he looks at Logan in shock.How could be so humane? Going as far as posing as his father.The grin on Logan's face made Lawton more upset as he stared at him.Logan mocks Lawton on how his father was never going to return home."I got bored and decided to play a little prank on you,' Logan said."You really thought I was your father?" He continued."Open the door and let me go," he added, tapping his driver.The driver opened the car and LA got down.He couldn't move or think as
A few moments before Lawton walked into Amanda's office.Amanda was confused as she didn't know what Barry was suddenly angry about."What do you mean?" Amanda said feigning ignorance."Stop pretending?" Barry said."Why are you snooping around my office?" He continued."What exactly are you looking for," he added."I don't understand," Amanda said as she watched Barry walk closer to her."Clara told me everything," he said."She told me how you have been snooping around and checking my company's database," Barry said."I wasn't snooping around," Amanda said."I was just reading the company's database and decided to ask her about what I didn't understand," She continued."What about the company's sales book?" Barry asked."Why is it on your table?' Barry said as he picked the book up from her table.Amanda closed her laptop as she stood up from her chair."I was just curious," she said, as she moved away from Barry who continued to walk closer to her."I was working on it and got curi
Barry starts to feel dizzy as Lawton had hit him in the head earlier as he made his way inside.Amanda noticed this and rushed towards him as she held him."Are you alright?" She asked.Barry collapsed and fell on the floor as Amanda looked at him in shock.She then looked over to Lawton who looked unbothered.Amanda knelt beside Barry and felt his pulse."He's still breathing," she said, as she sighed in relief.She then stood up and took a bottle of water from her table and sprinkled a bit on Barry."Hey," Amanda said, as she tapped Barry."I'm fine," he said as he stood up."What happened to me," he asked."You passed out," Amanda said, as she helped him sit on a chair.Lawton wasn't bothered by Barry as he knew he could just all be an act.Amanda immediately walks towards and holds his hand."Come with me," she said, as walked into the bathroom with him."What is wrong with you?" Amanda asked as she looked at him."Do you know what would have happened to you if anything had happen
Amanda laughed slowly as she watched Barry talk."Look at this," she said, as she showed him her arms."These are marks from earlier," she continued."Lawton's reaction is justified, she molested his wife," she added.Barry's grip tightened as he stared at Amanda, she was making sense and this angered it."I'm going to call the police and report you if you ever lay a finger on him," Amanda stated firmly.Barry walked out of Amanda's office angrily as he had nothing more to say to her.He walked into his office angrily and walked up to his mirror.Barry got more upset as he saw his battered and bruised face."Lawton made a huge mistake by hitting me," he said, as he stood in front of his mirror.Amanda is relieved as Barry leaves her office in silence.She then picked up her bag and walked out of her office as she was done for the day.Amanda called Lawton and asked him where he was as she stood outside the office complex."I'm on my way home," Lawton said, as he picked up the call."O
Over the next few days, Lawton and Smithson meet with different lawyers and sign a bunch of documents.Lawton also set up meetings with shareholders from Barry's office, with hopes that he would be able to buy their shares from them.One of such meetings was scheduled for a Monday morning and Lawton decided to go with Smithson and his lawyer.They both left the penthouse in the morning and made their way to a restaurant where they both agreed to meet up with four of the shareholders.Lawton and Smithson walked out of their car with their lawyer as they got to the restaurant and made their way inside.They picked a seat and waited for the shareholders to arrive.Four middle-aged men soon walked into the restaurant and Lawton stood up from where he was seated and immediately walked towards them."Good afternoon," Lawton said, as he shook hands with all the men."Please come," he said as he walked over to Smithson."Sit," Lawton said, as he sat down."What would you like you have?"
