“What is going on here?” A cold voice resonated in the hall and everyone's gaze turned towards the place it came from. A tall broad-shouldered man stepped out from an office with quick strides. I brushed off the strands of hair from his face and then stared at the chaos before him.“Who's causing the noise here?” He boomed. The assistant quickly walked forward and bowed her head.“I am so sorry sir. I tried to stop them but-” She tried to explain but the man didn't allow her to finish the word.He flicked his fingers and she froze in place.“I didn't hire you to give me excuses. If this is how you take care of the shop when I am around how much worse would it be when I am absent?” He said in disapproval.“I am so sorry sir,” She said sincerely.The man shook his head and then lost interest in her. “Get ready to resign, that would be after I am done taking care of the mess before me,”He said coldly then walked past her. Surprisingly, she didn't try to stop him but instead went silen
The car came into an abrupt halt and silence fell inside the car. “What was that?” Vera asked with a tight frown on her face.“I don't know, please give me a few minutes to check it out,” William hurriedly replied, then stepped out of the car.Vera walked out after him and so did Evan. They both made their way to the front of the car and frowned when they saw William squatted in front of… Someone.“Goodness, get her inside the car quick!” Vera exclaimed and rushed over.“Be careful, please. Her legs are fractured,” William hurriedly said and then gently carried the young lady towards the car.Her long golden hair covered her bloody face and it was impossible to see who she was.Thank goodness there weren't too many people around, else it would have been a lot of headache trying to get out of the scene.“Take us to the nearest hospital,” Evan calmly ordered. “Yes sir,” William shakingly replied, then turned on the engine and stepped on the accelerator.“Please no!” But just as he was
“Fine, do your thing. I won't disturb you about it,” Vera said softly then turned and left him alone.Evan stood there for a while then returned to his room with an indifferent expression on his face.Vera has always been known for being compassionate to victims of slavery and no matter how hard Evan had tried to make her view things in the other way, she doesn't listen.It's good to help those who are victims of those local mafias but at the same time, what if everything was just a facade and they are trained spies sent to assassinate?Evan slowly flipped through the documents and signed them one after the other.And just like that time flew by in a flash and it was 8:30 am. A light knock sounded in Evan's study room and he closed the documents before him gently.“Come in,” He said and the knob turned slightly before the door opened and Claus walked in.“I have something important to show you,” Claus said, then placed the tablet he held on the table.Evan's gaze hardened slightly as
Evan picked a candle and lit it before the image in front of him. His eyes were desolate and lonely and it felt heartbreaking to look at them.‘Thank you, old man, without you, I don't know where I would have been by now,,’ He bowed and placed the candle on the vase In front of the mirror.He paid his last respects and then walked out of the room. Christel watched him for a while then placed her candle in the face and left the room too.“Do you want to join us at the party? It's the last goodbye to Grandpa so all the families are here and I don't think they will like it if you don't show up,” She said then paused and continued, “After all, you are still my husband,” Evan stopped in his tracks and slowly turned towards her with a cold expression on his face. Christel subconsciously moved back in fear and lowered her head in the process.Evan gazed at her coldly but didn't say a word, instead, he stared at the necklace he gave to her then sighed heavily and left the place.‘Damn it!’ C
A few minutes later a black Benz arrived in the southern sub ranch of Vertice Capital. Evan alighted from the car and stared at the building before him with a calm expression.“How stubborn can you be?” He sighed lightly and started to make his way to the building.“Welcome sir, please how may we help you?” The receptionist on duty asked the instant he walked inside the building.Evan stared at her then at her batch and nodded as he realized she was a new employee.“Is miss Vera here? I'll like to have a meeting with her,” He said and the lady nodded before she started to type on the computer.In other to find out who the culprit was among the employees, he has to first of all find out how his company was being managed by them.And the first step to that is the way they attent to their customers.“I am sorry sir. The name you asked of isn't registered in this company,” She replied, after searching for a few minutes.Evan nodded in understanding, then asked, “If that's the case, can I
“Call 911!”“Oh my God, What's this?!” “A woman just committed suicide in this place. What the hell is going on here?”…Evan stood there with a distant expression on his face. He could feel his phone buzzing nonstop but the woman laying on the floor in her own pool of blood and the people around her taking pictures were the only thing he could see at that moment.He slowly walked towards her and soon he was standing before her.His gaze trailed down her body and soon fell on a black tattoo on her left shoulder which was fractured.He squatted down and was about to touch her when a strong grip held him and pulled him away.“What do you think you are doing?!” Matthew's voice rang in the hall and everyone turned silent.“How dare you try to sexualize a dead woman?” He added and Evan's brows knitted slightly.It looked like his actions to check if she was still breathing had caused a huge misunderstanding in this place.Evan gazed at him calmly and stood up with a slight frown on his fa
“Excuse sir, would you mind coming to the police station with us for questioning?” Evan stared at the cops in front of me and then at Matthew who was behind him.His hands went to his pockets and he flashed the man a questioning look.“Oh, pardon me if that came out the wrong way. I am inspector James and I'd like to ask you some questions if you don't mind,” He said and at the same time took out his card and showed it to Evan.Evan gazed at it and nodded but still didn't say a word and this of course caused the officer to frown.“May I ask what your names are?” He asked.“My name is Evan,” Evan calmly replied. “If you want my statement as a witness to the suicide that occurred a few minutes ago then I don't mind, but I don't think I should be the only one that would follow for questionings.”“What are you trying to say, sir?” Inspector James smiled then faced Matthew.“I got a report that you were the first to walk to the deceased woman after she fell from the stairs. So I wanted to
Half an hour went by in a flash and soon Evan's car was packed inside his mansion. He slowly alighted from the car and stared at the building ahead of him and, without wasting time, he made his way to the front door.“William, tell me what you mean she doesn't remember…” Evan walked past the maid who opened the door for him and went to the living room, but the instant his eyes caught sight of the woman on the coach, his voice trailed off.“Anything,” he finished, and gazed intensely at the lady.Ezra stared at Evan and slowly got off the coach. It was as though there was something both of them were trying to find out from each other, but no matter how much they pry further, it felt as though an invisible barrier was in the way.“Sir you are back,” William walked out of the kitchen and placed a plate on the dining table.“Sir, the food is ready. You can come eat,” he added, but when he turned towards Evan he noticed that he was a little distracted.William's brow knitted slightly, and
