Pamela couldn't remember when she last came to Granville beach. And everything has changed, that means the coast has gotten busier and more people, peasants roam around more than before.She looked around although she was shy that she had to meet her ex-husband. She can't change that. She is in need, her heart thumped maybe he would be angry seeing her. She recalled how he left without a second thought."I'm sorry ma how can I help you." The girl in a mini bikini and skimpy top approached her. She saw how formal Pamela happens to be dressed. "I'm a worker here and I'm sorry you can't go in with changing into something attractive. Are you on vacation? Meeting on a date?"She frowned her face and looked at her. Was she for real? "I'm sorry I just came to see Mr Stark and it won't be long so there is no need to change into something like this. Business it is." She forced a smile while her eyes rummage through her from head to toe."Okay. You go there by your left. He is quite popular.
"I can't help you, Pamela." He says.But she undeterred and continued. " This is the most crucial thing in my life and he is using it extravagantly. Father supports him. I wouldn't live if I hear that the company I have worked hard for has been liquidated."Joshua called his fist by his side and started at Pamela unwaveringly. "You must leave at once." He hissed."Help me, please. I don't know but you should for the sake of our friendship.""If you are desperate to save your company you should do that yourself." He said flatly and she clicked her tongue. He had gone cold. What was the kind gesture for then? She stood up leaving the sheet with Joshua. Stepping a mere five to ten feet away beside him she folded her hand.She has the courage of the desperate and it radiated through her. From her feverish gaze and pleading lips. Though the breeze of the shore that blew made her hair fly. Joshua didn't look into her eyes."You should please have a second thought. I will die of the fever
"What is with the look on your face? Is there something I'm supposed to know?" Mr Mason said, spurring them.Mr Mason looked stern and the expression on his face was unyielding and menacing. He wore a black cotton suit. It was thought he already knew. He didn't dress casually. He might have met with Mr Hudson.Pamela was dressed in deep black and that meant the same for her. She urged her mother to open up. "Come on Mother, we agreed on this before he came in. We need to get rid of him so that I can have access to the fund to send you for chemotherapy." Even with the state of her heart and the survival rate being slim she deserves to be treated and maybe miraculously heal.Mr Mason approached his wife and from her to Pamelas' gaze lingered. He laid his hand furiously on the table and there was a thud, the cup at the end rattling.She yelled, shrugging at her father. "Don't you know that mother will be shocked by such an act!" She regretted her impulsive display."Now what! You were fro
🌺Joshua stared at the shore. He was still there observing, he had gotten used to this.Mr Joe walked over to him with some of the documents he asked him to get from Miss Laura that stopped by, she had a family gathering along the Granville road, making it easily accessible.He gives his short brown hair a scratch, tucks one arm behind his head, and continues to smile like a looney at the scribbled text on his phone.He respects her, the marital boundaries and ruining it wouldn't be something he feels like doing. It could be bad knowing that he was her ex-husband and had to do all this. He needed to toss away his personal feelings; it would either complicate things for him. And pull the whole of Stark along.This was it. Just as it was business for Pamela when they were together, it is business for him too. They have to deal with it professionally.Ruining a committed relationship is not who Joshua was, not who he was raised to be. Taking someone from someone else simply sets you up
Mr Joe was still glancing at Joshua back as he pulled one of the files out slowly. He was lucky he didn't turn back until he was completely done.Joshua walking along the seaboard was busy making calls and he had his engagements for tomorrow planned. And he didn't expect he stayed out. Derek and Cassie walked to the other side and they were talking and giggling when they saw the reporter walking toward them. Their expressions quickly snapped."Mr Derek, it's a surprising thing having you here and talking to the man of the house girlfriend." The reporter piqued on the patriarch not allowing them to have the privacy they sought; he didn't say anything and covered Cassie. His back facing the reporter.The reporter with brown hair and dressed in a hoodie and sweat almost like a casual person was pulling out his jotting note along with the phone in his hand."Would you mind telling me anything possible, there was a woman Mr Stark was speaking to on the shore not too long."Their eyes were
Mr Mason moved from the stairs towards her."How do you see it? When I tell you to be patient you go about running your mouth, now what is your say on that?"Pamela sighed, she rushed to spread everything out on the black German table. One by one she scouts them. Her father waited on her and she continued. She raised her head to see the same smile on her father's face."Did you take your time to go through this?" "It wasn't necessary, I went through the first page and it sounds fine. You should enjoy your marriage with him, he has come to help you. Help us get better in society."Mr Mason promised he won't regard Joshua as anything prominent and he did just as he said with Mr Hudson he would be able to conquer the whole of Vancouver and beyond and competing with the Stark will mean a great revolution and he would turn into a founding father of another Fox company; a reborn revolt."Father, do you even know what these papers are!" She flung her two hands in the air and then retired t
" I was meeting with a client." He simply replied."A client? But the picture shows you went to a booth with her. Is she just a client?" She cocked her head at him with a devilish grin and Joshua lost for words looked at his wristwatch."Were you there?" He simply asked her and went into his car."No, but I…" she muffed air out of her mouthThat was the reply the girl didn't see coming. Before she could recover the car revved into the highway. 'That was pretty harsh.'"Joshua, that was quite a display there," Cassie says, drinking from the glass he handed over to her."That would make you your social media and your library popular, do you like it?" He replied to her. She marvelled at how accurate Joshua calculated things. From turning social scandal into an advantage. Not what she expected but she loved it.She kept talking but Joshua rested his head on the seat and closed his eyes pretending to be sleeping. His throat moved from base to head in a succession.When they arrived at t
Miss Harper held the files in her hand and the other sealed envelope that she was supposed to deliver to the ICT. "Sure sir."Joshua didn't blink but he knew he was supposed to settle things with the branch especially now that the cyberpunk had landed him with important information, he was still moving tactfully. Was he fighting corruption? Seems like it. But he was getting his revenge. The whole of Vancouver had become heated. Papers sell like food. He pulled himself out of his office and walked to the car."Today is the hearing and I'm certain that the bastard will get served what he deserves.""You shouldn't worry about that, Mr Joe, we are going there, the only thing that matters is that we got the evidence to Mr Bentley on time."Mr Joe frowned, his forehead forming creases as he looked at Joshua from the rear mirror. He was also shivering, he did something bad, something he won't forgive himself.'He didn't know that I had switched it.' He thought on the second glance then con
