It was Jack's turn to look at her with a shocked expression. Sure, Scott did party a little but he wouldn't do so at the expense of his job and lie.“Are you sure it was him you saw?” Jack asked, not hiding the slight shock on his face.“I'm positive. He didn't see me though but I'd know Scotty anywhere.”“Not to disagree with you Mildred but I don't think Scotty would lie about being I'll when he isn't. He's the most dedicated person to Bolton Tech and his job,” Alicia interjected.“I know who I saw, it was him,” Mildred replied, raising her voice slightly. She was so sure of it. “I'm not saying he's lying, I'm just saying I saw him at the club last week.”“That's enough,” Jack cut in, noticing the hostility that was suddenly trying to build. He knew both women were stubborn and Alicia would defend her subordinate who she had been working with for months and Mildred would defend what she claimed her eyes saw.Jack continued. “Let's all just take a breather. Things are crazy enough as
“Did you really just order that?” Alicia asked, her tone laced with complete surprise.Trent looked at her with a confused gaze and then he smirked. “What's so bad about ordering what you ordered?”Trent was completely clueless to this allergy that Scott had. He had been given Scott's medical file and the information was right in there but he skipped right past it, learning more about Scott's corporate life instead since that was where he would be doing the damage with the man's face that he stole.“No…..not that, pineapple juice. Did you suddenly forget your allergy?” Alicia asked, rolling her eyes at him. What sort of prank was he trying to play? The last time Scott mistakenly took a pineapple flavoured snack at a meeting, the smell, before he could even taste it, almost had him choking to death so she didn't find it funny.Trent realised he had messed up. Scott had an allergy and he wasn't aware of it. What else did he not know about the man's personal lives and habits? He knew he
Bethany had been declared fully healed and discharged from the hospital abroad, so she decided to pay Jack a surprise visit at Greyjoy island.Jack had not told her of the current happenings with the Carters yet. He had planned to but with work and everything seemingly happening at the same time and the pressure to make sure their new product launched not too far away from the time Carter Tech would launch theirs, he had forgotten.He couldn't just let the Carters get one up on him like that and not do anything about it. He still did not know how it happened which made him very uncomfortable but they made a fool out of him and he needed to get back at them.Once Bethany arrived at his office, he filled her in and asked her if she still had that video of Micheal Carter. Jack was desperate at this point and would result to blackmail if that would send his message.“I'm a woman of my word Jack, I deleted it from every known source the moment he gave you the island and its treasures,” Bet
Mildred just couldn't shake the feeling that it was Scott she saw at the club the other day, it had been over a month now but the thought refused to leave her mind.Why would a top ranking executive in their company lie that he was sick when he was out clubbing. Such ethics just did not sit right with her and he was even being defended, making her look like a fool.Unable to shake the feeling that something more was afoot, she decided to pay the club owner a visit. The mission of her visit was to prove that Scott was indeed at the club and not bedridden as he made Jack believe and she was going to do this by obtaining CCTV footage of the club on that day.“Welcome Miss Bolton, it's an honour to have you in my office,” Drey, the club owner said, his tone dripping with flattery.“Don't be so coy Drey, I visit your club all the time, you can drop the act,” Mildred replied with a small smile.“Being a customer who comes to have fun at my club and paying an actual visit to my office during
CHAPTER 189Mildred maintained her smile. She snapped her fingers and her assistant brought a pack of cigarettes and held it out to her. Mildred took one out, crossed her legs and her assistant flicked it on.She sat in silence, smoking her cigarette gently, looking at Drey who, worry, was slowly beginning to creep upon his face with an indifferent gaze.“Impossible eh?” Mildred chuckled lightly. She was hoping he would just accept her money and give her what she needed, so she would not have to resort to intimidating tactics.“Correct me if wrong but would it still be impossible if I had your lease of this property revoked?”Drey looked at her with a bit of surprise and confusion in his eyes. He leased this property from one of the top real estate moguls in the country, Godswill Smith.How did that have any relationship with the woman currently sitting in front of him? What he did not know however was that Bolt Global owned over eighty percent shares in Godswill's company.In fact, Ja
Mildred was leaving for work the next morning. She had heard of the fire attack on Club Deja Vu just this early morning. Sadly, the man she had left behind had also died in the fire. Her first thought was that it was probably an inside job by Drey to protect his policy but when she saw the state of the building on social media, she knew there was no way he would do that to himself.Investments and assets worth billions of Dollars destroyed by the owner to protect his customer's identity, it didn't seem like a decision any sane business man would make.But she knew the fire incident was not a coincidence, it was linked to her visit there yesterday. What she didn't understand was how that would even be possible because she did not even mention who she was looking for in the videos and she did not reveal that information to anyone but her man who she trusted did not tell anyone either.Someone was protecting Scott, but why? And whoever the person was, they knew what she was after. Her
Lucas Black.That was the name that was given to Mildred by those men right before she wired ten billion dollars to an offshore account for them. The name did not ring any bells. She was expecting a familiar name, someone she knew or had heard something about.She knew they had no shortage of enemies but it had been a long time since anyone dared to attack them physically.When Eagle found her, she said it was just a random robbery attack and that she had just been at the wrong place at the wrong time and even though she didn't look like it in front of those men, she was scared. Someone tried to take her life and the proximity with her inquiry of the club footage, the destruction of the club and the order to take her life unnerved her.She knew she should tell Jack but he had so much going on already and he was always fighting everyone's battle. She wanted to fight this one and get to the bottom of things herself.Over the next couple of days, she tried all resources available to he
Bethany realised at that moment that Mildred was not going to see reason with her and lay low. Apparently, she also had a stubborn streak like Jack. Before she could even reply to Mildred, Mildred stormed off, muttering inaudibles.Bethany heaved a deep sigh, knowing what she had to do. She had to pay a visit to Lucas Black.He was a hard man to find and some even say you can only find him when he wants you to but she was still THE MAN, the queen of the underworld.She brought out her phone and dialled a four digit number. A gruff male voice spoke from the other side when the call was answered.“The Man.”“Killer, tell Lucas I want to meet, soon,” Bethany said in a sharp and cut tone.“As you wish,” Killer replied and Bethany ended the call.Two days later, Bethany made her way to see Lucas Black. She was dressed sharply in a black jean pants and black shirt with an equally black leather Jacket and boots.A black beret covered her head and she was accompanied by two of her most trust
