Brown exclaimed. “What was that for?” He asked, holding his gut. “You are asking me?” Jennet shouted, her face twisted in fury. “I am going to kill you. She said, diving at him with her hands outstretched. “Control yourself Jennet”. Jake said, holding her back. “This is your son, and I need to remind you that you're outside, and you could draw unnecessary attention to yourself” He said. Looking around her, Jennet realized that people were already taking out their phones to record her, so she backed off. “You just had to open your big mouth, you drunkard”! She whispered quietly through gritted teeth. “But you're my mother”! Brown said unhappily. “Shut up this instant”! Jennet replied, causing him to recoil in fear. “Jake, we have to do something about this”. She said. “And what do you suggest we do”? Jake asked with a raised eyebrow. “We should do everything in our power to make life difficult for that ungrateful old man, Gabriel”. She spat in anger. “He's just in his mid-fifti
Bennet arrived at his company angrier than he had ever been in a very long time. “Welcome back sir”. The secretary said as he walked into his office. “Get lost”! He snapped back in annoyance before opening the door to his office and walking through it. Dumping his suitcase onto his chair, he walked up to his small bar in his office and picked a beer from his fridge. “How did things turn out like that”? He asked himself with a sigh as he took a swing out of the bottle. “Everything was going perfectly, and Mr Gabriel just had to come back from the dead”! He said in annoyance before smashing his beer bottle on the wall and picking up another one. “Sir, is everything alright”? His secretary poked her head into his office with concern on her face. “Everything is alright, now get out”! He bellowed with her, shrinking her head back in fright. As if a lightbulb had gone off in his head, Bennet called her back. “Actually, get someone to clean up that mess”. He said, pointing at the pieces
“What”?! Bennet exclaimed. “What are they coming here for”? He asked.“Sir, I don't know, but they were adamant about seeing you”. Grace said.“Get the security to send them out”! He bellowed.“I wouldn't do that if I were you”. A voice said. Looking behind Grace, he saw Elena and Margaret walking into his office.“What are you both doing here? Didn't I make it clear to you that I do not want to have anything to do with you, Elena”? He asked with a scowl.“Do you want to explain to the person that just left your office”? Margaret asked with a smirk.“What are you talking about”? Bennet asked.Margaret smiled before replying. “We saw who just left and, if my memory serves me correctly, that person is probably working for some sort of crime undercover.“That's enough”! Bennet interrupted. “You can leave now, Grace”. He said to his secretary.As soon as Grace bowed and left, Bennet turned to Margaret and Elena. “What do you both want”? He asked.Smiling triumphantly, Margaret walked up to
Mark arrived at the head office of his father's company; Quantum Edge Technologies. Stepping out of his brand-new limousine before handing his car keys to the chauffeur.Exhaling with a satisfied smile on his face, he entered the company with the employees bowing down to him as he walked past them.“Welcome young master”. They all said one after the other with him acknowledging their greetings with a nod of his head.“Where is my father”? He asked one of the surrounding employees.“He should be in the boardroom”.Mark might not be extremely good-looking, but he had a natural air of confidence someone would expect from a person of his power and status. He was built like a Greek god with his chest muscles showing from behind his loosely buttoned shirt.Arriving at the boardroom door, he opened it and walked into a meeting involving his father and a handful of shareholders in his father's company.“Son, you're here”. His father, Mr Gabriel said, turning to look at him.“Yes father”. Mark
Jennet sat down in her sitting room with a huge bottle of gin in her hand as she tried watching the television.She was dead drunk and depressed and could barely make out the words that were being said on the screen. She had just watched the news of Mr Gabriel making Mark the new CEO, and she felt a deep sense of despair.“Everything is gone”! She muttered drunkenly to herself. “Why did that man have to come back to life”? She asked herself as she took a swing from the bottle with some of its contents dripping down from the sides of her mouth.“Mum, what are you muttering to yourself about”? Brown asked, as he sat down beside his mother, but Jennet ignored him.“You're even drinking”! He shouted. “Give it to me, I need to drink too”. He said as he tried dragging the bottle out of her hands, only for Jennet to turn away from him.“Mum, you can't finish it”! He shouted.“Says who”? Jennet replied drunkenly. “I got this drink and I will finish it”! She said before taking another mouthful
It's been almost a week since Mark assumed the role of CEO of Quantum Edge technologies. Everything had been smooth sailing for him, with him having to grant interviews to countless television houses and radio stations.As a result, his company's stocks were steadily increasing, and they were almost at the same level they were before Mr Gabriel, his father, left it before he was announced dead.Meanwhile, Jennet, Bennet, Elena, Margaret and Brown were sitting down in a high-class restaurant with all of them feeling nervous and a little scared.They were meeting Mr right hand today and even though Bennet was the only one that was supposed to meet up with him, Bennet asked for the permission of Mr right hand with the excuse that they all shared a common enemy, so that the man would have no problem letting them attend.“Are you sure he's coming”? Margaret asked in fear.“Of course”! Bennet replied. “I doubt he is the kind to decide not to come after making an appointment, so he is defini
“Okay”. The right-hand man said with confusion on his face. “Does anyone have anything else to say”? He asked.“Well, I would like to be reinstalled in the company”. Jennet said.“You mean Quantum Edge Technologies''? The right hand asked.“Exactly”! Jennet replied. “I and Mr Gabriel, that ungrateful man, toiled and made that company what it is today, so he has no right to cut me off completely”! She snarled in response.“But, it is my understanding that his company was already well known when you both met”. The right-hand man said with a confused expression.“That is true, but I also contributed to its success”! Jennet replied.“I dislike Mr Gabriel and Mark like everyone else here, but all you did was look pretty for the cameras and attend parties”. Bennet said with a frown.“Okay, that's enough”. The right-hand man said, interrupting them. “So I take it that you'll need my help for that”? He asked Jennet.Nodding with delight on her face, Jennet replied. “Yes, I will need the help o
Bennet, Elena, Margaret, Jennet and Brown left the restaurant as soon as the meeting had concluded, feeling giddy.“Things are looking good for us”. Brown said excitedly.“For once, I agree with you”. Bennet said with a nod. “At least we have a direction, and we don't feel so exposed anymore”.“Hold on”. Bennet said, stopping them. “How about I take you all clubbing”? He asked.“Where”? Margaret asked. “Hope you won't take us to some low-class clubhouse”. She responded.In response, Bennet chuckled dryly. “All of you seem to forget that I'm actually not a random person and I have access to some places you'll primarily not get into”.“What are you driving at”? Elena asked.“I have a place that we can get into on short notice”. Bennet replied.“And where is that”? Elena asked.“Have you guys heard of the sleeping jewel”? He asked with a smirk.“I've always dreamed of going clubbing there”! Brown said excitedly. “But despite trying several times, they never let me in”. He added dejectedl
