Albert nodded his head, “Yes, the president.” “But why? What does Tyla have to do with the president?” Brian asked, baffled by Albert's words. Tyla was working with them, they were targeting the president, but why? Brian placed his hands over his face as a sigh escaped his lips, “This is even more complicated than i thought. If they're targeting the president, then they're definitely up to no good.” “Yes, you're right, Master.” Albert said, “I'm sure they're up to no good. They have to be stopped.” ****Meanwhile, In North Ashton Hills, Tyla clutched her purse so hard that her knuckles turned white. As she walked into the huge building, she looked left and right to check if anyone was following her. After confirming she wasn't being followed, she inhaled a sharp breath and walked further. As soon as she pushed the door open, she ascended the stairs and walked straight into the meeting room. Tyla took her time, admiring the large paintings that decorated the hallways. She had to wa
A shill scream escaped Tyla's lips as she pinched the middle of her brows, “What are you telling me, Stephany?!” she yelled, her hands trembling from anger, “The third time and I'm just finding out?”“I thought..thought it had to do with you.” Stephanie said in a hushed tone, not wanting to upset Tyla further. The first time, a ridiculous amount was withdrawn from the company's account, and the second time, the figures were extremely large. While she thought Tyla was behind them all, she was shocked to realize that she wasn't. Her grip on the phone became tight, “Ma'am, I've checked the records and it was sent to a foreign account.” “A foreign account?” Tyla asked, her voice laced with curiosity. She inhaled a shaky breath and leaned on her car, “I’ll take care of it.” “Ma'am, you need to be fast with it. The company can't go on this way.” Stephany voiced and Tyla sighed, her fists tightly clenched by her sides, “I said I'll take care of it. If you notice something suspicious next
“I'll text you the address and location in a few days time” Brian said after a while and Martha thanked him from the bottom of her heart. The fact that Brian had picked her call and agreed to meet her filled her heart with so much joy. At least now, she could hold on to hope and expect a change. In the Harlow Empire, Martha's teary eyes flashed in Tyla's mind and her heart became heavy. Her words were quite true. Martha adopted her and changed her life, but she wanted more power. Tyla wasn't going to regret her actions now that she was even more close to her goals. Tyla's gaze was focused on a file on her desk. As the new chairwoman of the Harlow Empire, she had even more responsibilities to shoulder. As she continued with her work, a slight knock slashed through the deafening silence. Tyla raised her head and said, “Come in.” Her assistant, Stephanie rushed in, a hint of shock on her petite face, “Miss Brooks, there's a huge problem.” “If it's about the funds, I said I'll tak
Brian walked into a resturant, his head held high. A few days had already passed by, it was finally the time for his meeting with Martha. As he walked further, he sighted a frail figure by the window side and he smiled. It's been years but he still recognized his mother-in-law. He walked towards her and tapped her shoulder, “Mrs Brooks.” he acknowledged, walking over to the empty seat that was right beside her. Martha directed her gaze towards Brian, a look of shock on her face, “You really made it.” she said, slightly shocked by his appearance. Their meeting was supposed to hold a few minutes before lunch, but Brian was thirty minutes late. She had decided to wait for a few more minutes, but then, he finally made it. She gave him a small smile, slightly embarrassed, “Welcome.” Brian pulled out a chair and sat down, “What's the important matter we have to discuss?” He asked, not wanting to beat around the bush. Martha had been wicked to him in the past, but he simply honored her re
“How's that possible?” Lyra yelled over the phone, shocked by her mother's words. “Mother, why would Tyla do something like this!” Martha chuckled softly, “I'm as surprised as you are, Lyra. To think that I took care of her for several years like my own.” “Like your own?” Lyra whispered, her brows furrowed in confusion, “Mother, what do you mean?” she asked, wondering if her mother made the wrong choice of words. Martha sighed, “I'll text you my location. I have a lot to tell you” she said, regretting the actions she made several years ago. Perhaps her husband was right. She really should have waited for God's timing. The same child she decided to help had stabbed her in the back. “I'll be there in half an hour.” Lyra said as she hurriedly boarded a taxi. Half an hour later, Lyra walked into a small building situated by the side of the road. She clenched her fists by her sides as she took in the surroundings. It looked unbefitting for a maid, not to talk of her own parents. With
Nathan let out a soft sigh, “Would Duncan have recommended me to you if I was incompetent?” He asked with a small smile, “Miss Brooks, the fact that I'm young doesn't mean I don't have experience.” he added and Tyla nodded, “Alright. I don't have a choice than to work with you, do I?” she chuckled. Nathan crossed his legs and leaned back, “ Can you tell me more about the contract with this supposed person? Is it a recently signed contract or a long term one?” “A long term one, the biggest contract in Aston hills. It's been years now but he still sent me a termination message.” Tyla said, her body trembling from rage, “And the most annoying part, he has no tangible reason for terminating the contract. Makes it even more suspicious.” “He terminated it for no reason?” Nathan asked, his brows furrowed deeply, “Are you sure there was no sort of argument between both of you? Is this how this supposed person works with all his clients? Terminate contracts just anyhow ?” Tyla smirked, “I
Tyla controlled the urge to slam her phone on the ground. She read the message over and over again, hoping she was reading the wrong thing, but that was the context of the message. They're in need of some money? Just when did she take an envelope to the meeting room? It was only a few weeks ago! Where was she supposed to get money for whatever goal they had? How was she going to get the money when her company was already going through a rough patch? Tyla flinged her phone away and dashed out of her office. Since she just entered the company a few minutes ago, the employees were surprised she was leaving again.At this point, Tyla was convinced to attend the event. If attending the event would make her meet Duncan and plead with him for more time, she was definitely going to do it. She was this close to achieving her goal, she wasn't going to allow money to limit her. The biggest hall in Ashton Hills was quite far from the Harlow Empire. Tyla drove for half an hour before finally
“You know him?” Duncan asked, taken aback by her words, “What do you mean?” Tyla shook her head and forced out a smile, “The more I look at him, the more I realize he isn't the one. He looked so familiar earlier, so I mistook him for someone else.” Duncan chuckled. “Mistook him for someone else?” “Yes”Her expressions were even more suspicious. First she was terrified to see him and now she was feigning ignorance. “I guess I have some research to do.” he muttered below his breath as he continued watching Anthony handle his campaign launch. Few minutes later, a waiter walked towards them and placed two glasses of wine on their table. “Just in time. I was about to ask.” Tyla smiled as she picked up the glass, bringing the wine to her lips. The more she stared at Anthony, the more she felt uneasy. Just like Duncan had said, he was the person they've been working so hard for, so she was sure he wouldn't stab her in the back. Not now, not ever. But first, they had to meet in privat
