Elara's joy knew no bounds when her phone beeped, as she saw the money come in. Since her Dad got employed. Her life has taken a new turn.Activities she wasn't able to do before, she could now do it, and it gave her so much joy. She was slowly getting the respect she lost from her female friends. They now invited her to luxurious parties, unlike before where they all forsook her.In all she learned her lesson. A lot of people won't want to have anything to do with you if you are poor. But if you are rich, they would definitely be all over you.She smiled as she walked into the bathroom to take her bath. Her plan was to visit Mr. Alistair at his office, and thank him for what he did. Even if her father didn't return to Voxx's Group, at least he got a job at Voxx's Technologies.What else could she ask for than that? All she wanted was for her father to get a job. Mr. Alistair kept true to his word, and helped her with it. That's the only thing that matters right now, and not if he got
(One Hour Later)Mr. Alistair and Nathan both walked into Mr. Gabe's office. "Gentlemen, please have your seat. I am in a hurry for a meeting, so I won't be wasting time.I will go straight to the point, and I will be out of here. What I am about to hand over to you, is something very important. Your father was the one who handed this over to me.It's very important that you keep it safe, and protect it with all your might. Keep what I am about to give you like you would keep gold or anything precious to you."Mr. Gabe stood up and walked out of his office. They both gazed at each other looking confused, "Your guts was right, but this wasn't what he told me the last time I came here," Nathan muttered."Let's say he wasn't certain about doing this, but along the line, he changed his mind," Mr. Alistair replied.Mr. Gabe returned to the office with a small golden purse in his hands. He walked over to his seat and sat down. He stretched the golden purse to Alistair. "This was what your f
The elevator opened up, and they stepped out. "Well, we are heading towards my late father's office. There's something important we have to do, and I need every one of you to be sharp, and also be on alert.""Yes sir," they replied as they moved late to Mr. Bane's office. They got in, and it was fucking dusty, different spiders had made the office their colony. "Are you seeing the cobwebs, are we really going to do this?" Layla asked."I think you are asking the wrong question, it's not us. Layla, you are the one who's definitely going to do this.""What?!" She turned towards them looking shocked. "What do you mean by that?""I don't think that's a question you need to ask. You aren't just going to swim through the cobwebs," Mr. Alistair brought out the key. "Here, we need to find which safe, or locker this key can open."She looked at the key and returned her gaze to Mr. Alistair. "Are you fucking serious?"Nathan, and Mr. Alistair both nodded their heads. Reagan wasn't cut in for wh
Alistair woke up with a call from Fiona which was strange. "Good morning Alistair, hope you had a great night's rest.I heard what happened last night, hope you are fine?"Mr. Alistair sat up, "Yeah I am, I am sorry we couldn't meet up yesterday.""Come on Mr. Alistair, you and I both know that you can't meet up after what happened last night.""Do you know what? Let's meet today, we could have lunch, or dinner today. What do you have to say about it?"She kept mute for a few seconds pondering on what to say. She would want to spend her evening with her boyfriend, Mark. "Lunch will be fine with me, I have something important to do at night.""That's fine with me, we will meet today during lunch. Please be early.""Yeah, I will, same location right?" Fiona asked."Yes, of course, same location," he replied."That's okay, take care, and have a great day," Fiona hung up. His gaze moved to the file, and flash drive which was on his couch. He directed his gaze back to the chandelier."I am
Elara sat down on her bed smiling as she gazed at her phone. Her mum walked into her room without knocking."What's with that look on your face?" She asked, resting on her door."It's none of your business, Mum. But if you must know, it's just some random chat with a friend," she replied, her gaze not leaving her phone."A male friend, I suppose right?" She asked as she walked towards the bed."Come on Mum, what's with all this question?""I am glad you asked. Dear Elara, you aren't getting any younger, don't you think it's time for you to settle down? It's high time you need to get married," Mrs. Wilde muttered.Elara burst into laughter, "Mum, is this what you wanted to say? Come on, you don't have to worry about it, I am already working on it.""Wait a minute, do you mean you are already in a relationship with someone or what?"She nodded her head, "Yes mum, but don't ask me for any details. I ain't going to tell you anything, but be rest assured that your lovely daughter is in a r
(Few Hours Later)Fiona and Mr. Alistair were seated in the restaurant as they were both having steaks and juice. "What is it, you wanted to tell me?"Fiona smiled, "I know this might sound crazy, but I think this is what we need to do."Mr. Alistair was confused, so he sat up. "What do you mean, please explain."She cleared her throat and reached for his hands. "I know this sounds funny, but I want to propose something.""What's that?""I need us to act. I mean I want us to act as boyfriend and girlfriend. I am tired of my father nagging about getting married to you.Truth be told, I don't like you one bit. But I am just doing this because of my Dad, nothing more, nothing less.""Really? Do you want the both of us to act as couples? Do you think that's the way out?""Yes, that's the way out. If you ask me, it's the only way out. There's no way out than this," she replied, raising her voice."This is the reason why you called me right? To propose this piece of shit to me? Come on, are
Mr. Alistair turned towards him, "What, and what have you found about it?""Well I have found someone who can be of much help to us," he answered as he stepped out of the elevator."Really? How come I didn't know about this, and what if this so-called person is one of Mr. Wild's loyal fans?"They got into his office, and Layla was asleep. "Come on man, don't you trust me anymore? I did my research, and he has definitely nothing to do with Mr. Wilde. Besides, he's an undercover CIA agent. Trust me when I say he can be of much help.""Wait a minute, did you just say ah undercover CIA agent?"Layla woke up due to the pitch of their voice. "Yeah, you heard me correctly. An undercover CIA agent.""If he's an undercover CIA agent, how did you get to him? Don't you think if you can find him, whosoever he was made to watch won't also have a problem in finding out that he's a CIA agent?"He chuckled, "I think I didn't really explain things to you. Well, there's this friend of mine who I used t
(Few Hours Later)"You look really tense, and should I say unhappy, what's going on?" Elara asked as she reached for Mr. Alistair's hands.Mr. Alistair smiled, this was one of his tricks to get her into doing whatever he wanted her to do. "Let's just say I am extremely tired, you know what it means to work as the president of Vox's Group right?"She nodded her head, "Yeah I partially have an idea. There are times when I see my Dad in a terrible state just because of work. That's one of the reasons I said to myself I was never going to work.Not like work work, I mean get into the corporate work. I saw the torment it caused to my Dad, that shit pissed me off. That's more reason I decided to follow the career path of my Dad."Mr. Alistair was taking note of the things she said about her Dad. "Do you think your Dad has something special he's hiding? You know maybe a special property in his safe?"Elara smiled, "I don't fucking have an idea about that. How am I supposed to know if he does
