"Ha! You ruined the opportunity right?! You flopped just as my grandmother and I predicted! You really are inept and useless Faith. You had just one golden opportunity, and you let it slide through your fingers” as he spoke while sneering at her, he pulled himself to his full height and puffed his chest out, “If only that man had let me in, or you had spoken in my favor, I would have been able to seal that deal just as grandmother wanted, but you probably thought seduction could help you, yet it didn't help him sway to your side. Ha!” Faith's expression was a mix of disgust and embarrassment and even anger; her eyes were red, and her face was pale. How could Michael accuse her wrongly and blatantly accuse her of possibly using her body, she fumed. Jason stared at his fiancée's cousin and shook his head; his fist was clenched beside him, but he was going to floor the idiot; people like him didn't like when their perceived positions were taken from them. Her chin jutted, Faith stepped forward to defend her dignity as she glared at Michael who was still sneering at her and looking at her like she wasn't worth his time. Heaving a deep breath, she straightened herself and stared intently at him, “Well for your information, contrary to what you may think I… yelp” She shrieked midway through her sentence and promptly turned to glare at Jason, who had pinched her. With an apologetic look, Jason subtly shook his head, dissuading her from revealing the information and her brows creased. How did he know she had gotten the deal she wondered as she stared at him, with no response from him, she swallowed then nodded, before she faced Michael once again, “You know what, never mind. It's not worth it" Michael scoffed and rolled his eyes, "I knew it! You can't get anything right, just like your father and that's why grandmother can never trust you with a task! Just wait until she hears what you've done and how you've ruined our chances. Not only that, you let this pauper stain this pristine environment. I'm certain he would be thrown out when they realize that someone like him who takes away the ambiance of this place is here; just you wait!” Michael kept talking, unbeknown to him, his attitude and screams had caused the receptionist to alert the security as well as Ethan Moore who strode into their midst, Ethan's eyes found Jason's, and he bowed slightly before raising his brow in question. Jason's curt nod was his cue, as he readied himself to get rid of the annoying parasite that was Michael. Jason cleared his throat, his eyes gleaming, he raised his head to look at Michael who scowled at him, “What are you looking at you riff raff?!" Michael questioned, jutting his chin at Jason who simply raised his hands in defence, “Nothing at all. I only wanted to know what you would do if you turned out to be wrong” Jason's voice carried a tone of challenge as he gazed at Michael who blinked furiously before laughing. With a slight chuckle, his eyes still gleaming from the unusual humor, Michael quirked his brow at Jason, “You're not only a riff-raff but also a delusional one. How can I be wrong you fool?! Faith is as useless as they come, and can't do much.” His eyes raved over Jason's body before he sneered and went on, “And you? One glance at you, and no one would hesitate to have you thrown out! So there's no ifs here fool! Your mindset has conjured some sort of imagination that can't happen” Jason nodded slowly, his eyes glinting his hands held loosely by his back, he smirked at Michael, “Humour me. Say you're wrong, what do you propose will happen?" Michael sneered and touched his fingertips together as he approached Jason with ease in his steps. Bending his neck slightly to gaze at Jason with a superior look in his eyes, he declared, “Then I'll admit to the family that Faith is the greatest of all times, and deserves the position grandmother has attached to whomever wins the bid. Not only that, I would bow to an absolute nobody like you and possibly lick your feet! How about that?!"
Beautiful NanaSomething tells me that proud Michael is about to eat his words 🤔🤭. What say you?

Jason's smile widened, and he nodded briskly at Michael, who returned his smile with a contemptuous smile, curling his lips at him. “You've got yourself a deal," Jason announced and turned to wink at Faith, who, though he was smiling a little, had a crease between her eyes; she couldn't understand what Jason was driving at.Michael on the other hand, bent and began laughing once more, pointing his finger at Jason,“Y-you really think much of yourself you fool! Haven't you ever heard the saying pride goes before a fall? I proposed to help you, yet you think you can intimidate or surpass me. You clearly do not know who you're talking to! If I wanted to get that contract, I would have, with a snap of my fingers…”"Is that so Mr Michael?”Ethan suddenly interjected in a loud voice, he had an air of authority surrounding him. Immediately Michael sighted him, he paled and lost a sense of his bearing,“Uhm…” he mumbled slightly, before straightening himself and plastering a saccharine smile

Ethan gazed intensely at Michael and quirked his brows at him, “What do you have to say for yourself, Sir?" he asked Michael with an edge to his voice, and the latter gulped once again. He was currently unable to string words together, luckily for him, Ethan wasn't done speaking, "Well, it's quite obvious you have nothing to say for yourself. If this is how you behave in your company, we do not condone such attitude here at Greenlife and it makes me wonder what the hell you all are doing in that company, and how someone like Ms Faith is surviving there as well” Michael's eyes nearly bulged at Ethan's use of Faith's first name, he couldn't understand what had transpired between the duo. Still, he nodded numbly and responded, “I apologize Sir. It won't happen again, I was only trying to help, but I thought wrong” "You're damn well right! It sure won't happen again!” Ethan interjected loudly through gritted teeth, before he rose himself to his full height, raising his chin he looked

Jason who had a slight idea of what was passing through Faith's mind, bent his head to glance at her,“Penny for your thoughts?" he asked, and Faith glanced at him, before shaking her head,“N-no, it's nothing" As she spoke, she swallowed and glanced at Jason once more before shaking her head. Jason hid a smile,He could guess and understand her dilemma. Ethan had disclosed to him that Faith had questioned him on who had set the meeting up, and she had assumed it was Ryan; he chuckled to himself at that insane thought. Ryan's family's wealth was like a cup of water out of his bottomless well.Sighing, Faith swallowed and shuddered; Michael had ruined her joyous mood, and the thought of having to face her grandmother didn't bode well with her; she couldn't imagine all Michael must have told her and more. Swallowing once again, she echoed,“I- I have to go, I need to give Grandmother the report" Smiling enthusiastically, Jason nodded,“That's good. I'm coming with you" Faith was a li

"You know, sometimes I wonder why you all have such little faith in Faith. Why you would choose to believe the words of a scum over that of a classy human” Jason promptly interjected. He was disgusted and disappointed by their words and reactions, they had all but concluded that Faith was incapable, concluding that she hadn't gotten the contract. At his interruption, everyone glowered at him, while Mrs Ruth glared and snarled at him, "I wasn't talking to you, you pauper! Don't you dare interrupt me ever in your life!” In response, Jason shrugged and smiled at her, before he continued, "My apologies. I just thought it fair that you know you're making the wrong mistake by dismissing Faith, seeing as she kept to the deal, and secured a contract from Greenlife Group." All eyes immediately snapped in Faith's direction, then back at Jason, who was smiling smugly; Faith had managed to lift her head, a little smile gracing her face while her cheeks were still tinged; she had yet to

Whack “How dare you?! How dare you lie to me, you ingrate?!" Mrs Ruth snarled at Faith who was rubbing at her stinging cheeks with tears clouding her vision. Claire, Michael, and everyone gaped at them, occasionally glancing at each other and their grandmother; they could see Faith's cheek already forming a bruise, and some of them snickered with smiles on their faces; it served Faith right. Jason was livid; his eyes had turned molten, and his clenched fists were digging into his palms without notice. He wished he could drill a wall through the blasted woman and every other person that antagonized Faith. All eyes remained on Mrs Ruth as she went on snarling at Faith, jabbing her hands at her, “Did you think you would lie to me and get away with it? That I wouldn't find out you twat?! That was Ryan, and he just confirmed to me that he's been unable to reach his source, and Greenlife, therefore, hasn't spoken to him." Gasps filled the room immediately, as some of them covered

Without hesitation, Michael quickly picked up the remote and turned on the television; at the same time, a couple of his cousins and a few colleagues were glued to their phones, with their mouths wide open. Every other person's attention was glued to the television,The man from earlier appeared on the screen, and Michael sneered, seeing his face was a brutal reminder of the embarrassment he had faced there, still he tried to shake it off and concentrate on whatever the man had to say,“Whoa, that's the COO of Greenlife Group, he's also the acting CEO. He's not handsome but intimidating”"Yeah, he must know and be close with the CEO who remains a mystery, nobody knows what he looks like" A few people whispered amongst themselves while their eyes remained on the screen, Mr Ethan was about to speak, he was in a conference room that was filled with the men and women of the press,“Thank you all for joining me at such short notice. I do not take it for granted as time is valuable.” He im

At that moment, Michael was reminded of the stupid deal he had made with Jason at his insistence and he nearly shuddered. One look at Jason and he knew the same thought was running through the bastard’s mind and it caused a whirlwind of emotions within Michael, he felt anger and humiliation, internally wishing for the ground to open and swallow him or for an apocalypse to take place, he couldn't imagine himself apologizing to any of them, he would rather die.As though the universe was against him, his grandmother turned to him with a tight smile and gave him a curt nod,“Don't keep us waiting Michael, apologize and get on with it" Michael swallowed and nearly toppled over, it was as though something had slammed into him. Blinking furtively, he glanced at his grandmother who had her brows raised, and also spared a smirking Jason a glance,“We're waiting, Michael. Apologize to your cousin, so we can get on with the preparations,” his grandmother called out once again, and Michael visi

Uhm…ehh”Michael stuttered as she shifted from foot to foot,"Don't waste our time! Make the payments.” Mrs Rita responded, and then faced Faith,"Faith, call out your details so he can make the payments," she said with authority; she wasn't going to direct it to Jason, as she deemed him insignificant.Jason chuckled before he shook his head and responded,“You see, the thing is," he drawled, taking his swell time to continue while they sneered at him. He was enjoying seeing the beads of sweat on Michael's face trail down to his chin, clearing his throat he continued,“Well, the bet isn't a monetary one. I actually do not need his money"Scoffs went around the room at his statement, but he ignored their subtle remarks, gazing intently at Michael. Mrs Rita's face turned sour just as her brows furrowed, she glanced between Michael and Faith, throwing a questioning gaze at the former, as though she was asking him,‘What in the world have you done?!’In response, Michael shook his head an

As Michael's lips neared Jason's feet, the room fell silent with bated breaths, all of their eyes fixed on what was happening before them, Jason's face was inscrutable, but he had a slight smug expression on his face,Faith's face was a mix of expressions, on one hand, she felt vindicated by Jason, knowing that Michael was finally having a taste of his medicine; Michael had been coming for her and today was no exception, but on the other, she felt a deep sense of guilt as well as a pang of pity or was it sympathy? She could hardly believe that her cousin had been reduced to such a humiliating state,At that moment, if a pin had dropped, everyone would have heard it but probably not paid attention as they watched keenly to see if truly Michael was going to kiss Jason's feet,“Is Michael truly going to kiss his feet?" One of Faith's cousins inquired with her mouth agape as she watched with keen interest,“Hmph! You see his lips close to those filthy legs, yet you wonder and ask if he wo
