"What's wrong, Richard?" Adam stood up, a bit startled. "Oh, you haven't seen the online reviews yet. Have you?" Richard happily showed it to him. "The executives were very impressed with the wisdom which you solved this case." Richard led him into the conference hall, beaming with smiles. "The company's reputation has been boosted immensely due to your actions. I wasn't wrong about you after all." "Now, who was it that said Mr Carson didn't have the skills suitable for the job?" Mr Ernestine was the first to speak up. "For Senior Walter to have vouched for him, means he was very impressed with his amazing skills!""According to the information we got from the CCTV footage, the previous Head of HR had been aiding the reporter in breaching our company's privacy policy.""For that, Miss Brooks is going to face disciplinary actions and her background re-checked! Who let such a person in anyway?"Roberto's face turned sour. Mr Ernestine apologized to Adam for doubting him at first, t
Adam arrived at work early the following morning, he noted his team members that arrived early and admonished them to do better. While threatening to sack the ones that came late. "If you can't make it to the company right on time, why else are you at this job?"His words were harsh, but it was only for the good of his company. Right now, he needed as many capable hands as he could get on board. After a short meeting with them all, Adam returned to his office. He met the reports he'd asked Richard last night for on his table. It was the reports of the Sales department, Marketing and Logistics department and Product Design department under the leadership of Sean, Max and Garrett respectively. He sat down and began to audit the accounts. Adam was able to quickly grasp and interpret the bulky numbers in a short while. This was an advantage he got due to being involved in his father's company. Back when the Carson's Pharmaceuticals was still functional, Felix always made sure he visi
"What the fuck is Arsenic doing on my father's table?" Adam asked himself, bringing the powder to smell with his nose again. It was Arsenic. No doubt about it. Adam tried to figure out perhaps Arsenic is used by hospitals in cleaning and sterilization. But his mind kept giving him a foreboding. With how secured this hospital was, was it possible for just anyone to sneak in? Adam couldn't be too sure. He took out a napkin and wiped the powder, wrapping it and tucking it away. He would make further investigations later. There has to be a mistake somewhere. "Dad, I'll be right here, waiting for you. Please wake up soon." He faced his father again, sighing in helplessness. He was like an orphan in this world, no relatives, no nothing.His father was unconscious and his sister wasn't willing to set eyes on him. Adam suddenly felt the urge to use the toilet. A long moment of silence later, Adam heard the sound of something smashing in the ward. "Shit!" someone swore softly from w
By the time they were done searching the internet, it was already 11pm at night. Adam left to his bedroom, to get a shower.He sat at the table as he dried his hair, glancing through the documents he went through earlier today. A knock sounded on his door and Cleo came in. "You got a letter, I forgot to hand it over to you earlier.""From who?" Adam glanced up from the pile of documents in front of him. "There was only your name, no sender's name." She dropped it on the table and left. Adam gave the black envelope one look before immersing himself back into his work. .Adam arrived at work right on time the next morning, despite having only 3 hours of sleep, he felt very energized. He was able to finish up the auditing last night, and now he had substantial evidence that no accountant could refute! After dismissing his team for the morning, Adam headed straight to Richard's office to present the report to him."You're saying a total of 1 million and hundred thousand dollars hav
Adam returned home to meet Cleo in a state of intense devotion to her work. He didn’t want to disturb her, so he left for his room to rest.In the middle of his rest, Cleo came banging down the door.Adam thought it was his sister, so he hurriedly opened the door, only to see Cleo’s smiling face. “I’ve just found a clue!”She looked very haggard, as though she hadn’t slept for days.But her eyes twinkled with excitement. Cleo dragged Adam to her workstation. “So I’ve discovered that Helen is the child of the director of Main-Gate hospital. She began to develop mental disorders when her mother died 5 years ago, she dropped out of university and her father had to employ nurses to come teach her at home, then she wrote final exams.""In university, Helen met a guy named Gerald who she fell in love with, but her father was against the union.”“What’s the point?” Adam kept nodding. "Gerald is using Helen’s identity to disguise as a nurse and sneak into the hospital!" Cleo clarified. "And
Richard relaxed back on his chair, smiling at the final draft of the contract before him. He'd just sent it to the Board Members official group chat and everyone had commended him for a great job. Except for a few people of course. Unfortunately, there was a number of them- Sean, Garrett, Max, Derek and Roberto himself. That’s 5 out of the 15 board members.Richard proceeded with the process anyway.He invited the Head of Executives at Pristine Corps and some company lawyers to come inspect the contract and check if everything was okay.The meeting went smoothly and the CEO, Miss Jackson seemed pleased with everything.“We’ll have the official contract signing tomorrow, gentlemen. Thanks for everything.” She stood up to shake hands with each of them.“What about the deal we insisted on?” Miss Jackson asked Richard after the lawyers left. “We agreed that in exchange for the partnership, you would be getting all your raw materials from us. But it's stated here that you will only get 7
"You!" Roberto’s question hit a raw nerve in Richard, but he was unable to speak.There was no way he could reveal Adam’s position as President just because of a minor argument.“We’re not here for that, Mr Walters. Kindly have your seat and let’s begin the meeting!" Ernestine butted in quickly. Adam didn’t miss the looks of derision coming from Sean, Garrett and Max.Handing the mic over to Richard, the meeting began.“Good day, everyone. Like I wrote in the email, I called this meeting for a very crucial situation.” Richard began. “This is a matter that threatens the overall reputation of our company and must be dealt with the utmost urgency.”“Can we get it already?” Max interrupted rudely.Richard ignored him. “I’ll have the secretary distribute the set of documents right away.”“Now, this is a financial audit of Walters Corporations finances starting from 2 years ago. This audit was carried out by Mr Carson and a certified accountant." Richard explained. "Like it is reported, a
Adam stared grimly at Roberto, his friends and the well-built guards they brought to surround him.“Who among you is willing to go first?” He asked, cracking his knuckles.“If I were you I wouldn’t be so confident, wait till they rip your bones apart!” Max sneered at him.“Why do you always talk when you weren’t summoned, Max?” Adam snickered. “Do you enjoy getting bloody noses?”“What are you still waiting for? Break his bones and make him beg for his life!” Roberto shouted at the guards.They pounced at Adam at virtually the same time.Adam suddenly disappeared with a flash, appearing behind one of them.The guard was startled and he lost his balance. Adam kicked each of them on the knees and they all fell, tumbling to the floor“Are these the weaklings you brought to fight against me? I literally didn’t have to lift a finger!” Adam taunted all of them.Roberto was so angry. “You unlucky fools, what’re you still doing on the floor? You're getting no payment unless you beat this idio
