"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

    *It is as I expected... She met my expectations."Darius shook his head ruefully from where he sat in his work space at his house.Maxwell was standing just at the door entrance as he had just finished giving Darius the details about everything that had been observed at Darius' Father's house following the bankruptcy of his father's company.Darius had expected that Rachel would abandon Robert. But it was still faster than he expected. She had succeeded in surprising Darius a little bit."How's my father doing?" Darius asked. "Did he run mad?"There was a strange glint in Darius' eyes as he asked Maxwell.Maxwell gulped nervously. "He's close to losing it young master, the car of his dreams that he finally got was taken from him after all. No normal person would stay sane in this situation." He said."Haha! Of course you're right!" Darius replied with a cheerful but evil laugh."Just hearing about it won't do Maxwell, I want to see it for myself." He said with a crazed look of dissati

    "Ugh... Why do I have to work this hard everyday?" James grumbled."This hard..?" A voice replied him. James turned to look at the person in the eye with an angry but tired and lazy gaze."You don't even do anything man... You have the easiest tasks to do at the office and you earn far larger than you work for... What the hell are you complaining about?" The guy said again. His words contained some suppressed resentment towards James.It was one of James's new colleagues in the Charlton Company. What James had just complained about ticked him off so badly that he couldn't restrict his words any longer."Mind your business Liam! I wasn't talking to you!" James spat."Then who were you talking to? Do you expect me to pretend like I didn't hear what you just said?" Liam asked in spiteful curiosity."He's right James," another lady chipped in. "You always grumble and complain as if you're the one with the lion share of work. You're a lazy ass James. Stop complaining and be grateful." She

    Wait... What?James could not breathe. He was still struggling to find his breath when Maxwell dropped the bomb on him and he almost choked on his breath out of shock.He was fired, just like that, out of the blue! What caused this? Was it because he got in an argument with his colleagues? No way. It didn't make sense.James knew that he was already walking on a tightrope with the company but he had confidence in Philip. The company had been letting him be because he was brought by Philip so he knew all was supposed to be well.From his shock, he took some seconds before he recovered and regained his breath. He dashed out of the office in fury. Running after Maxwell. He caught up in a few seconds and shouted in frustration..."You have no right to fire me! I will surely report this to Mr Philip. Do you think he'll stand by and watch you do as you please. No! There'll be consequences for firing me!" He shouted on top of his voice. Drawing the attention of the people around as they look
