"You think I would be stupid to stand here and listen to all your lie." There was anticipation in the eyes of the worker.All of them were scared at the rate things are going they might lose their job. And their families too. Losing their job won't scare them but what the bratva would do to them.Feeling a hand on his shoulder he tears his gaze from the workers to his office and back at Joshua.Joshua's eyes flicked from the worker to Mr Fletcher. "Just say the word and I will listen.""There is no word, and I'm not playing games with you. Why would I play games with the greatest tycoon in the state? They've helped me."Joshua along with his secretary knows of the man's intent. To scam the Stark over and over while overworking his workers."Why would you do this? If you so much respect the Stark.''"I didn't do anything, you see that anything you might be thinking about in regards to me is untrue. I'm very charismatic. One of my workers got up today and told me. Not prior. That his mot
"Very well I didn't see that coming, it sounded strange and unexpected. It hadn't been weak.""Well everybody knows how that man is striving so hard to be expendable. The Fox companies are the ones that will suffer the throwback. Most specifically when there is no Pamela to manage the company."That meant Pamela would lose everything she had strived for like dust in the hands of Mr Hudson.James Young was now holding a secret meeting with his enemy behind his back that made Joshua angry.Joshua was too lenient with Mr Hudson. Taking his wife, he still relentless goes after him. So what remains for that scumbag to do?He started gambling."I see, I will reach out to him later but right now, I should be at Hastings sunrise.""Alright my break is over I will be in the office too."This wasn't about the executive entirely anymore but it was about his loath towards Hudson and Hudson's loathe to the Stark and Joshua right from the onset daring to breach his walls."Sir, you should answer th
Pamela set her eyes on Mr Hudson, she couldn't control the emotion that was surging inside of her."Dear wife, you didn't come inside on time. You kept me waiting." Mr Hudson said relaxing onto the seat and rolling it.Pamela dark inside didn't speak or do anything, astonished she plopped herself forward. Her hand was still balled into a fist.Mr Hudson called back on the intercom and called the secretary."What do you think you're doing?" Pamela finally opened up. "What does it seem like, I invited you here to seek your opinion as the head of the Fox company."He was being ridiculous right now. How could he have the guts to speak such vile words in her ear?"The heir? Leader? It's funny how you think of me as one. You know these things don't suit you. I want a report of all the things you've been carrying out within my company.""You're not serious. Your company? I have been lenient with you because you're my wife and that isn't enough for you ain't it." Mr Hudson takes out a pack o
She walked out of the Fox company and into her car."I'm sorry Ma but Mr Stark isn't on the seat yet. I will let him know when he is."It sound stupid and seemed ridiculous to her but she had no option but to try her luck. Soon the fox company will go bankrupt if she doesn't do anything. "Ah, thank you, I will call again to know when he will be."She gulped hard, her heart aching within the cage. She knew she wanted to ask Joshua for assistance but she is here struck in doing that. Whereas he didn't look at her path that day."I can help you in some way." The secretary didn't end the call.Pamela was high on adrenaline and hope. Her teeth bite her finger."I can only tell you where he is and you can meet him there.""That would be a huge favour." She breathed."He is at Grandville, but not in any business issue. He went to the beach."She could remember vividly how he neglected her that night of his fundraising and now. She will have to sulk it up. She had turned into a woman in need
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
