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
"I did as you ordered and the company is completely bankrupt." Maxwell said. Adjusting his glasses as he gave a report to Darius.Darius quietly nodded his head as he twirled his chair around. He didn't actually need the report that Maxwell was giving as he had seen the footage at the company from his own office."Good job." Darius replied Maxwell. "I already know some of the things that happened over there from here. Now we just need to wait for everything else to unfold." Darius said with a grin.When Darius bought that company and transferred the ownership to Robert, he put some people in the company. It was these people that made everyone who was in the company to lack their stuff and leave. Even the manager was on Darius' payroll.Darius had done everything with the aim of totally wrecking Robert. So the manager had items for Robert to leave the company and reach his house before the deed happened. Just while he was on the phone with Robert. Some other person had began to spread
Robert felt his heart beat slow down instantly. He felt a chill run through his spine."Surely you must be joking Rachel." Robert said with a slightly quivering voice. "I'm being serious here.""Stop playing games with me and tell me the truth right now Robert! What is the matter?" Rachel retorted with irritation clearly written on her face."Fine... Yesterday my company went bankrupt and all my employees fled." Robert said flatly."What do you mean bankrupt?" Rachel asked in disbelief. "...and fled? Fled from what to where?" She was starting to get too agitated to think so she asked questions."Questions.. questions.." Robert said with a sigh. "What part of bankruptcy don't you understand?" He asked in an annoyed tone. Rachel's response to his question had gotten him a bit on edge.Rachel took a deep breath and was silent for some long seconds as she tried to come to fully understand what Robert had just said. There was no logical explanation so she still had to ask... "I still don't
"Wait, what?!"Rachel nodded her head in agreement. James had a right to be surprised. After all, The company was a gift from Mr Philip. Any sane person would treasure it and make sure nothing happens to a gift like that. But her husband had lost everything. It was to the level that she scorned Robert."Are you serious mum? The company is done? How did that happen?" James still couldn't understand, everything was still fine yesterday. But he didn't understand how a company could simply crash overnight.Well... it wasn't actually overnight but it all happened in the span of less than two hours. But there was no one to tell James that."Yes son." Rachel replied. "I even had to force him to speak up about what happened before he told me. He was ready to keep quiet about it and deceive us." She said to her son.Then she stood up and approached James gently. She wrapped her right arm around him and some close to his ears. "You see why I told you to be serious with your job? If you don't h
