"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?" Lawto
"He agreed?" Smithson said, excitedly as he collected the papers from Lawton.They had finally achieved their goals.Lawton was now the biggest shareholder in Barry's company as he how owned seventy percent of the company shares.By business law, as the largest shareholder, Lawton had an automatic rein over the company and could make major decisions.Lawton bought the shares under a different name as he didn't want anyone else to know he bought all the shares.Barry and his family had finally lost the company.Lawton had earlier decided not to fire Barry as he wanted to humiliate him further."This calls for celebration," Lawton said, as he asked the driver to take them to another restaurant.The driver drove to the restaurant and Lawton walked in with Smithson and his lawyer.They all ordered food and ate until they could no longer eat."Barry is going to be sure devastated," Lawton said, smiling."I can't wait to see the look on his face,' Lawton added.Although Lawton was happy he
Barry immediately got up from his bed and walked over to his laptop which was carefully placed on a table in his room.He then opened it and checked his mailbox."What!" Barry exclaimed as he read his emails.Barry could not believe his company now belonged to someone else."He bought all these shares in just a week," Barry said to himself in disbelief.Barry looked at the name of the person who now owned his company and it didn't ring a bell."Mr Hargreaves," he muttered."Who is this man?" He added.The man was a new shareholder Barry never paid any attention to.Barry searches his name online and wonders how he was able to climb up the ranks by buying such a large amount of shares in a short while.Barry immediately picks up his phone and calls his Dad."Hello Barry," his dad said as he answered the phone."I just got a message that I have been removed as the company's CEO," Barry said."Is this true Dad?" Barry added, hoping it was all just a huge misunderstanding."It's true Barr
Barry is dumbfounded as he cannot think of anything to say to Amanda.Amanda stood up and walked towards him as she noticed she wasn't saying anything."Are you looking for a file?" Amanda asked.Barry looked at Amanda in front of her, as he thought of what to say to her.He was scared any complaints from any of the staff couldn't him fired.This makes Barry more upset and he walks out of Amanda's office without saying a word to her."What is wrong with him?" Amanda said as she walked back to her chair.Barry walked back into his office and collapsed into his chair, thinking about where it had all gone wrong and how he hadn't notice until it got to this point.A confused Amanda continued her work, as she wondered why Barry was acting weird.He then immediately picked up his phone and walked out of his office as he couldn't bear the humiliation anymore.The rest of the day was normal as Amanda continued her work and didn't see Barry.Amanda decided to go get lunch at the cafeteria as s
"Amanda," Lawton yelled as he repeatedly tapped her on the cheeks. Smithson who could hear their noises rushed towards where he could hear Lawton's voice to meet him. and Amanda on the floor. "What happened?" Smithson said as he saw an unconscious Amanda. "We should rush her to the hospital," he added. He then assisted Lawton in carrying Amanda and they both picked her up. They carried her into the car and Lawton entered the back seat with her while Smithson sat in the front seat with the driver. "Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately. The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency. Lawton carefully placed Amanda's head on his lap as he felt her pulse frequently. "Please hurry," Lawton who was feeling a mix of emotions said. "I found a hospital," Smithson said as he pointed towards a hospital on the other side of the road. "Drive-in," Smithson ordered. The driver immediately drove into the hospi
Peter gently placed his phone down on the table as he looked at Lawton."The papers?" Lawton asked, looking at the lawyer.The lawyer handed the papers to Lawton who placed them on Peter's table."Sign it," Lawton said gently.He then assured Peter his secret was safe with him as long as he signed the papers.Peter reluctantly picked up a pen and sighed the paper in front of him before handing it back to Lawton.Peter knew he could lose his position and his wife, losing the shares to the pharmaceutical company was a small loss compared to what was going to happen to him if his secret gets leaked.Lawton then brought out the cheque he had already written and carefully handed it to Peter.Peter gasped as he saw the amount of money in the cheque."Nice doing business with you," Lawton said, to Peter before standing up and walking out of his office with the lawyer.Amanda watched Lawton walk out of Peter's office and wondered if he was able to get Peter to sign the document."Did he sign
Lawton exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer and sat down.He then asked the lawyer if there was a way the company could be his own forever and the lawyer told him he had figured out a way."You own more than half the shares of the company," the lawyer said."It's almost impossible for him to take the company away from you but there's one thing we could do that guarantees that," the lawyer added.Lawton asked what it was and the lawyer brought out a document containing the remaining shareholders of the company.Most of them had little shares but there was a particular man who had the highest.The Lawyer then suggested they convince the man to sell his shares to them."If he sells his shares to you, you would not have to worry about anything," the lawyer said.Amanda and Lawton nodded in agreement as they both thought the idea was a good one.Smithson then informed Lawton what Barry was up to and told him they had to hurry."He rescheduled the meeting to tomorrow," Smithson said."Wha
Barry drove into his house and got out of the car.He walked inside and went straight into his room.Barry removed his clothes and took a shower before changing into a black hoodie and a mask.He had a drug deal that night but did not inform his men because he wanted to do it alone.Barry opened his safe and carefully arranged the packs of cocaine into a black bag before walking out of the room.He then got into his car and started to drive towards the venue.Barry reached the venue and saw the buyer who was already waiting for him before walking out the door.Barry looked around and saw that the buyer had no guards around him and saw this as a perfect opportunity to make more money.Barry needed a lot of money for his plan to get the company back to work.Barry moved closer to the man and they exchanged the bags in their hands.The man then started to walk back to his car when Barry suddenly turned on him and hit him with the bottom of his gun, snatching the bag of drugs he had earl
Amanda watched Lawton fight in awe as he couldn't believe he had gotten so good.She then smiled as she remembered his fight with Barry and realised his training must have helped him."You were amazing," she said, as she hugged him.She then walked back into the penthouse house with him and Smisthon as they were done training.Lawton showered as soon as they got inside the penthouse and joined Smithson and Amanda who were talking about Barry.They then all started to talk and time soon went by.It was soon seven pm.Barry was in his office thinking of how to get back at Lawton for how much he humiliated him.He had called his men who knew he was back to come meet him in his office.Barry fumed angrily as he looked at the time wondering why they had not arrived.He then heard a knock on the door and immediately knew they had arrived."Come in," Barry said.Four muscular men walked in and Barry immediately stood up and walked closer to them."Why are you late?" He asked angrily."I have
Amanda isn't surprised by this as she knew Lawton was going to say that after everything she had seen today."Where to?" Amanda asked.Lawton then told her he had just started to think about it and he had no idea.Lawton then asked her if she had any place she would like to live in mind as he had the money and could afford to buy an apartment anywhere."I have not thought of it," Amanda replied.Lawton and Amanda then spent hours deciding on where they could move to but still couldn't find a place.Amanda then suggested they get an agent who could help them find their dream home and Lawton agreed to this.Amanda and Lawton smiled as they were finally going to be free of the clutches of their landlady.Amanda asked Lawton if he was still going to go back to his job but Lawton told her he was not sure he was."We should take these upstairs," Amanda said, pointing at the shopping bags in front of Lawton."Thank you," she said, as they both shared a kiss.She then carried some of the shop
A middle-aged man was on a hospital bed typing on his laptop.It was no one but Chief Williams.He has been lying and pretending to be sick when he had been conscious the whole time.Chief Williams had been in the hospital planning several plots to attack Lawton which all later backfired.Chief Williams had just finished planning another devious attack when he suddenly heard footsteps.He then looked at the time and realised it was time for his lunch.He had lost track of time and he was about to get caught by the nurse.Chief Williams knew he could not let anyone know he was fully recovered or even close to being recovered.He needed to be at the hospital so no one would suspect him.He then quickly closed the laptop and carefully placed it under his pillow before lying down on the bed and closing his eyes.The nurse walked into Chief Williams' room and dropped the tray of food on a table beside him.The nurse then moved closer to him and started to feed him with the food she had bro
Amanda and Lawton changed into their nightwear quietly as Lawton sealed glances at her.Amanda walked out of the room as she finished and Lawton followed her.Amanda walked into the dining room and carried the food Lawton had earlier bought into the kitchen.She then microwaved it and served it on the dining table.She then asked Lawton who was sitting in the living room to come and eat as she knew he was hungry.Lawton stood up and joined her at the dining table and they both ate in silence.Amanda and Lawton soon finished eating and packed the plates into the kitchen together.Amanda washed the dishes in silence with Lawton who assisted her.Amanda walked out of the kitchen as she was done with the dishes and Lawton ran after her."Babe," he said, holding her."I know you are still upset," he continued."Please let's talk about this, I don't like it when you are mad at me," he added.Amanda then nodded her head in agreement and they both walked into the living room together.Amanda
Madame Willams's chef had prepared dessert as planned.She walked into the living room and informed Madame Williams who did not know what to say to her.Everything had turned upside down and Madame Williams knew nobody would want to have dessert."Don't serve dessert," Madame Williams said."Just go!" she added.Barry and his parents were still on their knees and this was not how Madame Williams pictured the meeting was going to go.Madame Williams continued to apologise to Lawton until he had no choice but to forgive them because of Amanda.He knew Amanda hated what was happening and was uncomfortable."It's fine," Lawton said."You can go," he added.Madame Clarissa then asked him if he was going to fire Barry and Lawton assured her he wasn't.Lady Clarissa stood up with her husband and Barry and walked out of the house in shame.Amanda had been quiet as Lawton had asked her not to interfere.Madame Willams who had been feeling guilty walked up to Lawton and Amanda and asked if they
