Darius burst out laughing...He had been watching the whole scene play out from another room. His attention was fixed particularly on Philip. He had carefully noted his actions and responses to everything.Darius didn't actually expect that Philip would sign the document immediately. Before the meeting, Alicia had given him some tips about Philip. She had met his kind of person before and a big idea of how he was going to act.Darius and Alicia had planned how everything would play out. Darius had not been sure it would go according to plan but when he saw the result of everything, he was astonished himself. "She's really smart." Darius whispered to himself.When he was preparing the documents, Alicia had told him to not bother about trying to manipulate Philip. She told Darius to state the conditions in a straightforward manner because she was confident that Philip wouldn't go through it. Not after the long 'speech' by Maxwell.And it happened just as she expected. That's why Alicia
Philip was up in cloud nine. Thus was the biggest achievement of his life.How many people could boast of having a meeting with the executives of Charlton Company not to talk of signing an actual business partnership project? No one! It was literally no one. The Charlton had never had any business with any other company.Anyone who heard of a partnership business between the Charlton Company and and another Company would be green in envy.Philip waltzed past the staff of the Charlton Company with his shoulders high and his nose reaching into the sky as he headed towards his car. He even hit the people he was walking past as though he was telling them to notice him. He felt like a whale among small fish.People began to notice him and gossip began to fly about. There were different rumors about what was going on between Philip and the Charlton Company ever since he was ushered in by men in suits who were waiting for him when he had first arrived.The memory of the video of the occurren
It took about Twenty minutes for Philip to tell them his story as they all listened with rapt attention.It was when Philip explained how the opportunity to get the contract that Carla finally understood everything. Meanwhile her Grandmother and parents were all letting out gasps throughout the entire time Philip spoke.Madam Felicia bombarded Philip with a lot of questions and Philip answered arrogantly and confidently. Everytime he spoke, their eyes all shown with jealousy and greed. A multi billion dollar deal with the Charlton Company wasn't small! And he had even spoken with the ghost CEO of the company, even though it was a phone call. It was something to boast of and be proud of."Your father must be proud of you." Madam Felicia said in admiration. Philip nodded with pride. He was the one who had been chosen. It was almost like the Ladrak Company had been the lucky one to enter into a contract. There were other companies that the Charlton company could have conducted business t
Philip went back to his house after dropping Carla off and slept. It was how he made up for the nights he spent drinking and staying up late into the nights.He had not gone very far into his slumber when his latest Phone rang out loudly. He groaned in his sleep and stirred awake to pick up the phone. He opened one eye lazily and checked the caller. It was his Father. Mr Churchill."Ugh... Why now?!" He groaned. He hesitated for a few moments before he finally picked it up."Hello Dad." He greeted."Where are you?" The stern voice boomed, making Philip move the phone from his ear because of how loud it was."I'm on my way to the office." He lied."You're lying Philip. I know you're sleeping in your house." His father answered, a bit enraged that Philip was sleeping during office hours.How was someone like this supposed to manage the company in his absence? Mr Churchill knew that the success of his company was at stake if Philip kept behaving like a spoilt kid every damn time. He was
The next day...Philip finally got out of bed. He had stayed indoor throughout the day and ended up not going to his office like his father had instructed him. He had woken up angrily from his sleep and decided to stay home while he watched TV dramas and played games. He chose to enjoy himself.This morning, he woke up feeling quite good as he didn't drink the previous night so he was safe from an hangover. He remembered the conversation he had with his father and the meeting of him and Darius when he dropped Carla off for. Work.He sighed. "This is going to be another heck of a day."First he had to try and get a job for Darius, even though he had no idea about how to go about it. Secondly, he had to collect the copy of the documents that he signed at the Charlton Company business proposal meeting he had been invited to.He got prepare and headed into his car to leave after taking some cookies and shoving even a few into the pocket of his jacket. Maybe that was why he lovered jackets
"What the hell do you mean by saying that you can't do anything about it?" Philip asked, very enraged."I don't have the rights or power to do such things in this place Philip. I'm just the secretary for the CEO, nothing more." Carla explained.Carla was actually saying the truth about the current situation. She had only become the secretary by pure choice of the CEO. By that, she wasn't given the position because of how long she had worked there so she wasn't able to do things like other executives like Maxwell could do. And she couldn't just walk up to Maxwell and demand that Philip be allowed into the company. She had no right to demand such a thing.Philip flared up in anger. "How could you say such a thing Carla despite everything I've done for you? Can't you even make sacrifices and take risks for me?His anger was soaring through the roof. He could still recall Darius walking inside the building unobstructed while he was dragged away like a pauper."Carla, I was with Darius whe
Maxwell gulped nervously as Darius began to stated how he planned the whole thing to go."First of all. The secret account that we used to invest money into the company I want you to use it to withdraw my shares from there. The whole company should go bankrupt after losing 90% of the total capital. Darius said without remorse.He was currently watching his father on the mobile screen that was being carried about by the spy that was in charge of monitoring Robert. after a while he turned it off in disgust as he gave instructions to maxwell for him to carry out immediately.Maxwell nodded his head "yes young master. I'll do as you have said." And he turned around to leave Darius' office.Darius had a thinking gaze on his face as he tried to imagine how his father would react to the sudden windfall in the company. He had decided to not yet touch Rachel and James jobs at the moment so they would still enjoy for quite a while.Darius even turned his attention to them on the screen he was u
'Um... Where am I?'Robert slowly opened his eyes and saw the blurry image of white lights. He was lying face up on... A bed?His vision cleared and then he saw the white lights on the ceiling clearly. He blinked in confusion and turned his head to the side of the bed he was laying and saw the standard things that were usually found in an hospital ward beside the beds. It was a white painted cabinet that just stood plainly.'I'm in the hospital... How did I get here?' Robert thought. He looked on the top of the cabinet and saw a white paper neatly folded. It looked very familiar. He had seen it somewhere before...Immediately he had a jolt of realization and sat up straight in less than a second with horror written on his face and wide opened eyes."Noooo...!" He screamed till air inside his lungs got exhausted and about fifteen seconds later a young nurse came running inside the ward."Are you alright sir?" The pretty young lady panicked and rushed to Robert's side and held up his ha
