Two days after the event a lot of things happened and the media made sure to do their jobs and keep the most trending news. One of them happened to be Rolando's company, Stephanie's company."What do you mean our sales are dropping drastically every second?!" Stephanie screamed frantically and banged her hands on the table without a care in the world. There were too dark lines under her eyes as though she hadn't slept for days, and that was the truth.'It's because of that foolish man I called my ex husband that is the reason why I am in this mess!' She screamed frantically in her head then closed her eyes to collect herself."What should we do?" She stuttered and stared at her assistant who at times has a split personality depending on the mood she is in."We face the consequences of your action ma'am," She smiled then walked over and submitted a document on the table."Here, in there are the records of all the business partners the former CEO of this place was able to gather and fro
"What's it Stanley?" Christian slowly removed his gaze from the documents he was going through and stared at Stanley who had been sighing nonstop since the time he got inside the office."It's nothing sir," He replied then lowered his head and sighed again."Speak," Christian frowned and unknowingly commanded. Stanley stared at him for a while then took out a box and placed it on the table in front of him and at the same time pushed a white envelope to him."And?" Christian's brows shot at him and the confusion in his eyes showed that he wasn't expecting any of this."Is this your resignation letter?" He added then glared at the envelope then back to Stanley who looked a little startled."Wh-?! No, no sir it isn't. This envelope was sent to you by lady Alice. She wanted to apologize for what happened but couldn't meet you because of the restrictions and you aren't answering your phone and such she had no choice than to send this letter… I never wanted to take it from her but_," He gul
"Quickly someone should save the young lady!""Call 911!""Damn it, what are you doing? Can't you see the fuel on the ground?""Oh Lord, the car is about to catch fire. Quickly save the woman!"…'Is this the end of me? What's going on? How did I end up in this situation?' Alice tried opening her eyes to see where she was but it felt as though her body had shut down. She couldn't move and couldn't speak.The strong stench of fuel filled her nostrils and a strong metallic taste assaulted her mouth.Help!She screamed frantically until she finally lost consciousness.The familiar sound of an electronic peeping slowly woke her up and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded In her ears. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't and had no other choice than to listen to the words said around her."Quickly give me the scissors," A deep voice said anxiously."Here sir!""Sir, her pulse is weak. I don't think we can give her this surgery," A woman replied with fear in her voice."Damn it! We hav
Christian dashed into the hospital, walking up to the receptionist. He asked the receptionist Alice’s Ward number and was directed to the second floor.The hospital was vibrant as the air reeked of ethanol mixed with perfumes and Cologne.Christian took the elevator to the second floor, scanning every room for Alice’s ward number as soon as he got off.The nurse told him it was Ward 223 so, when he saw a door with the Ward number attached to it, he instantly reached for the handle and scurried into the room.Two doctors and three nurses were standing before a lifeless body covered in blood and a doctor was performing CPR on her.It was Alice, her face was pale as if all the blood had being drained out of her.Christian walked towards Alice, accessing her properly and turning to face the doctors.“Whats the situation?”He asked, his forehead forming creases.“Honestly, we don’t know, sir. She is loosing too much blood and we are unable to operate on her due to her open chest. We have t
“You should not be there saying things that aren't true. Who knows? The people you think who are not part are even the leaders,” Alice uttered.Christian stared at her without saying a word. He walked around aimlessly.“I don't care, you should know that,” he replied and walked out.“Damn, he left,” Alice regretted.After a moment of realization, Alice ran out quickly in an attempt to still have a conversation with Christian.She took wide strides of steps and ran at some point.“Christian! Christian!,” She called out while breathing heavily from the short sprint.Christian was about moving into his car.“What?” He sounded pissed.“You should not leave just like that. I know that things are not going just great, but we could have a random important conversation,” she pleaded.“No, Alice. I don't need to rub my body with such things at the moment. I'm not even in the mood to have to argue about certain things I'm not even ready for. I need to go,” he added and jumped into his car.Alic
Chapter 38The wild feeling of lacking the idea about what was jumping on,made Christian want to lose it by the minute.So far, he wasn't able to make good findings about what Stephanie was into. The day had just begun. Christian took a quick shower. He thrusted in some random clothes and moved out of the house quickly.Christian was on his way to the office. He needed to go through some documents.On his way into his office, he stormed into Stephanie.“Hey, I really need to speak with you, “ he said honestly.It's been a while since he set his eyes on his ex wife.Stephanie looked gorgeous and all good. Her hair was styled into a pony, and her makeup was quite simple.She gave him a quick stare.It was a disgusting look.“Why are you trying to mess up my day now?” She uttered coldly.“I don't mean to disturb you, I don't even want to. It's just that I know things didn't really sit well…” Christian was interrupted.“Sit well? It will not be well. I don't want to have this emotional c
Christian was really excited about the fact that the meeting was going to happen very soon.He decided to meet up with Raymond to have a good conversation.He was home that day and chilled in his home with a cup of coffee.Each sip from the coffee cup reminded him of the fact that Alice had something very important that could help him, but she didn't give any information.It took so much from Christian to stay quiet. It was a tactic to achieve his plan, especially after finding out the truth.Raymond finally made it.“Welcome man,” Christian uttered, welcoming him.“Try to make yourself comfortable,” he added.The only thing that went through his mind at that moment was how he was about to start telling him about not wanting to give me a job. It was something he planned on doing along the line after he realized that he had another game plan.“I know that I should not be bringing in such discussions here and I know that you were busy today. I'm really sorry for making your day really
The D-day came.After Christian found his way to attend the event, he started feeling paranoid about the entire situation.The mega companies present had a thing among them. Christian had a sudden low self esteem to find himself there.After he was warned by Emily, he had his fear taking a greater part of him.He stood by the window pane of his bedroom. He had a good view of the fields behind the mansion.His hands were buried inside the pockets of his pajamas. The only thing that came across his mind was how he was going to gather all the courage he had so he could find himself there.One chance, but a lot of risks. He knew that when he made a decision, it took the hardest reasons to fall out of it.Apart from Emily's conversation, he was aware that Stephanie's father was going to be there. He never wanted to find himself around his in-laws anymore.After pacing around the entire room, he made his choice. He was certain that was a good start to finding the solutions to his problem.H
