"Please, I'm ready," she replied."Alright, we're all ears; go on," Rex said."I was instructed by an opposition party to get some information about your company," she replied, glancing around."So what later happened?" the security officer asked."Cool down, man. You've already done your job. Allow me to handle a bit of the problem. I will hand her over to you back when I'm done," Rex told the first security man, who was eager to annihilate the woman."I'm sorry, sir," the man apologized."Young lady, you said you were sent by an opposition party?" asked the man."Yes, sir," the lady replied."How long have you been working for the party?" he asked."This is my first time working for them, sir," she stuttered."Your first time?" Rex frowned."Yes, sir," she replied, gazing on the floor."Then how did you know they're oppositions if you're working with them for the first time?" Rex asked.She kept quiet, her face facing downward."Will you let me know the truth, or do you think lying c
"Uh, don't worry about me; she's just trying to prove her ignorance. She's trying so hard for me to break the boss' order," Darius responded."What do you mean, is she trying to fight you for asking her a question?" one of them asked.Darius raised his gaze toward the lady and replied, "Exactly! She's so disrespectful! If not for the boss, I'd have put her in her place.""Don't worry, you should return to your various offices; I know what to do," Darius told them."Alright then," they responded and went back to their offices.***Meanwhile, Rex was seen in an office with his witness Andrea, and beside them was Spencer Alfred with his witness as well. In front of them, a lawyer was seated, and there was a huge table that separated them. On top of the table, many documents were placed. They have come to sign the documents and for Rex to make payment."Mr. Spencer?" The lawyer called."Yes, my judge," Spencer responded."Are you sure you want to sell Golden Age Manufacturing Group to?" h
"Oh, yes, everything is pretty fine. I just wish you could make it to my house; we have something to rejoice over," Rex said."Oh really? On my way," Ava replied, and Rex ended the call.Rex quickly dialed his grandfather's number; he wanted him to be present as well because he was the grand pillar of every success he had.The phone rang for a few seconds but wasn't answered."His phone must be out of his reach as usual, always studying and reading news in magazines," he said inwardly and flung the phone into his pocket."Let's go; I don't think my grandpa could make it here; he must be very busy. But Ava assured me she is coming," Rex told Andrea."Oh, great, because the party would not make sense if there was no girl," Andrea teased."So what are you insinuating?" Andrea asked with suspicion."Party after party, of course," Andrea said jokingly, and they laughed."Nah, man, don't go there; I don't mess with my employees," Rex replied.As they were discussing while sauntering to the s
As the three self-claimed policemen saw Mr. Alphonsus with the strong-bodied men approaching them, they took a glance at each other and halted. "What is happening here?" Rex's grandfather asked. The three policemen made another glance at each other before their lead proceeded to reply to the old man's question. "We- we're police officers, and your son was found guilty, so we're taking him to the station," he stated. Mr. Alphonsus sighed and let out a devilish smirk. "Let's see your ID card then," he requested. They quickly brought out their cards and raised them in unison, as they did earlier when Rex asked the same question. "Incredible, what a nice teamwork!" the old man said. "May I know the unit you're under?" he added. Immediately, there was a brief silence among the men holding Rex. They took glances at each other in confusion and quickly pretended as if nothing was wrong. "Sir, we're already late for this arrest. I think we've answered your first question about our ide
He took a glance at the screen and noticed it was Mr. Duke; however, he ended the call and decided to text him a message.Message: [I'll call you in twenty minutes after; I'm on an occasion], he sent.***After some hours had passed, everyone was already tired of dancing, except for the old man who had been stockpiling food into his mouth with exotic juice.He had already dozed off to sleep even before Rex and Andrea stopped dancing.However, Ava wasn't exhausted like Andrea and Rex because she didn't take as much alcohol as they did.As Ava glared at them, he concluded they were not going to get better anytime soon from the way alcohol was oozing out of their mouths."What do I do now?" she wondered."This means I'll have to sleep over here, as there's no way I'll leave the house of someone who invited me to a party without his awareness," she concluded.She glared at her wristwatch and noticed it was already evening, it was four thirty p.m."The work has already ended, so there is n
"What do you mean, and who are you?" Rex questioned the lady, who had just run into the audience.The lady turned to see the person who was questioning her; the voice sounded so familiar, or could it be him?As she turned, taking a glimpse of Rex, she took off her spectacles to make sure she was seeing clearly."Wait, are you now working for this company?" The lady stuttered as she noticed the person who asked her the question was Rex.The lady was Cassandra's friend who was reported missing a few months ago; however, it was later that it was confirmed she was held hostage over a mission she went on for her boss. It was the people who wanted to reap the rewards who caught her but didn't involve the police; they wanted to handle her by themselves. It was later that they were exposed by a spy planted in their group by Sophia's boss.However, her boss's identity was kept hidden, as the reporters claimed she didn't disclose who her boss was. "Sophia?" Rex called her with a surprised expr
Rex picked up the call and waited for her response. "Good day, sir," she greeted. "Yes, good day. How are you?" Rex responded in a cold tone. "I'm fine, sir. I've been calling because of the interview you said," she replied. "I'll still do that, it's not yet the time I fixed with you, remember?" Rex responded. "I'm sorry, sir; I just wanted to remind you," she pleaded. "No problem, I'm still aware," Rex responded, ending the call a few seconds later. "So as you were saying, Grandpa, what did you say last before the interruption?" he asked. "Oh, I've even forgotten, but let me use this medium to let you know that there's a meeting I'll be hosting in a week, but I think I should postpone it to next week because of your studies," Mr. Alphonsus said, placing his finger on his jaw and thinking for a while. After a few seconds had passed, he came up with a question: "When is the exam starting and when will it be over?" "Um, we're starting our last semester exam in a week from now.
Rex exhaled in a sign of dissatisfaction. He wondered what could make Caroline fix an appointment with him and still fail to turn up, or was she not demanding a favor from him anymore?Of course, Rex would not benefit much from her working for him; after all, he has enough workers in his company and his grandfather's company as well."Does it mean she was harmed on her way trying to come here?" he wondered, gazing up to the ceiling in confusion.After a few seconds passed, another thought ran through his mind: "Or did she intentionally decide not to come despite knowing today was the day for her interview? Wasn't she the one that called me, disturbing my rest all in the name of a reminder, then she chose to ghost me at last?" He clenched his jaws, gently hitting his fingertips on the desk out of annoyance."Well, one who bedwets her mattress will surely sleep on the bare floor," he concluded, and he stood up to leave.He took his briefcase and exited the office with his bodyguard, Tyl
