As Henry reached the top floor, his gaze swept across Clifford's office, and his eyes locked onto a young man who appeared to be around his age or slightly older. It was Austin Kai, Clifford's personal assistant and a former soldier of the White family.

Austin Kai recognized Henry as the son of his late boss, and was pre-informed of his coming. He quickly strode over to welcome him, his steps brisk and polite.

"Assistant Kai," Henry acknowledged, his voice filled with familiarity.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Master White," Assistant Kai lay flat on the floor, prostrating in a deep show of respect.

This was a customary greeting they had in the White army to show respect to the family members, and now, Henry was the new head of the household.

Even though he was no longer part of the army, he still had to show respect!

The corners of Henry's lips curled into a gentle smile. He asked him to stand up. "Please get on your feet. There's no need for this," Immediately, Assistant Kai ac

    When Yara returned to the strategy department, she found Caroline alone in the office. Everyone else had left to eat, but since Caroline had more work to do than others, she decided to buy food and eat it in the office while continuing her tasks. Yara, on her own, liked to be a busybody. So, instead of going to eat, she quickly walked back to the office to report her findings to Caroline."Madam Caroline," she called out. That was the title she, and some other juniors, usually called her in the department as a sign of respect. Only seniors like Darryl, Rodney and others referred to her as Caroline.Caroline looked up from her lunch. "What is it?" she asked, curious about Yara's interruption."I just found out that Henry, the new intern, has a connection with Assistant Kai. I think that's the reason he got hired without an interview," Yara revealed, a sly tone in her voice.Caroline frowned, knowing that Yara was referring to the vice president's assistant. She felt that this was quit

    Alice heard her name being called from her department and quickly stood up, rushing towards the vice president's office. "Sir…" she said, assuming it was Clifford who called her.However, upon entering the office, she realized it was Assistant Kai and Henry standing there. Irritated, she hissed, "You really gave me a heart attack, making me think it was someone important calling me. What is it?" She crossed her arms, eyeing them with a hint of annoyance."Explain yourself, Alice," Assistant Kai demanded sternly. "Why did you ignore my instructions? I could remember I clearly asked you to give him the best service."Alice glared at Henry and Assistant Kai with disdain. She scoffed and rolled her eyes, laughing scornfully. "Instructions? Why should I follow the instructions of a lowly assistant? Can't you see I'm busy? I have more important things to do than fetching drinks."Assistant Kai exclaimed dramatically, "Oh, and I suppose those important things include applying makeup during w

    *Silence.**Silence.*In that momentary quiet, all three of them exchanged shocked glances, their expressions showing their confusion aimed at Alice. What was she blabbering? Henry couldn't believe her words. How shameless could she be? She was clearly at fault here, but she was trying to push the blame to him. But well, she didn't still know it was Clifford that gave the instructions.Clifford's eyes grew wide at her. His anger escalated, a storm brewing within him. What the heck? Did Alice just label his young master as shameless? He had genuinely liked her before, and even thought of promoting her, but it seemed she was nothing more than a cunning manipulator!Henry spoke up. He took a breath before responding. "That is not completely true," He said, his words full of conviction. "When I asked her for water after waiting for a long time, she brushed off the request and continued putting on makeup during work hours. Is that really an important task?" Henry's stare shifted between C

    After she left, Clifford's anger slowly faded away, the visible frown on his face disappearing, his temper coming back to its normal state. Assistant Kai was also satisfied by the outcome of everything. He couldn't bear his master getting insulted without the latter getting punished. "Young Master, I am honestly sorry for what you had to go through in my absence. I promise this will not repeat itself again," Clifford said, lowering his head in a bow before Henry.Assistant Kai followed suit, also bowing his head. He raised his gaze and spoke with sincerity . "I apologize also, master," he said."It's okay," Henry replied, his voice dripping with amusement. In fact, he couldn't help but be entertained by her foolishness and exaggerated acting. He chuckled softly. She would do well in the movie industry, seriously."So, let's get to what I'm here for," Henry reminded him, tapping his watch as he glanced at the time. Lunch break is almost over." "Sure," Clifford said, offering him a sea

    "Yes, young master," Clifford said, his voice filled with renewed enthusiasm. "I believe so. I look forward to the start of this project. Please be quick to submit your report.""Sure," Henry replied, his hand confidently signing on the paper, sealing the deal.Suddenly, Clifford felt unsettled, causing him to shift uncomfortably in his seat. "Young Master, could you excuse me for a moment?" He asked, his words rushed. "I need to go to the restroom, I'll be back in a jiffy.""No problem," Henry replied, his brows furrowing slightly as he observed Clifford's change in expression. It seemed something was wrong with him. He'd ask him about it later.Without wasting another moment, Clifford stood up from his chair, and made his way to the restroom, his footsteps echoing through the room.At that time, Caroline gracefully walked into the office, clutching the work she was doing during her lunch break. She had been given the deadline that stated that before the lunch break came to an end, i

    Hence, the minute Clifford came back from the restroom, she ran up to him, her heels clicking against the tile flooring. "What are you doing here, Miss Nyx?" Clifford asked as soon as he saw her, curious. He tilted his head slightly, trying to understand her sudden presence."Uhm, sir, I came to submit my assigned task. It's over there," she replied, her voice slightly breathless. She pointed towards the spot where her task was kept. Clifford nodded.She checked his face for any emotion before continuing. "Ahem," she cleared her throat. "In the process of doing that, I was surprised to see that test you had given our newest intern, Henry Flakes. I must say…that's a stretch," she said.She hoped her words would catch Clifford's attention, and she could make her case.Clifford raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "What do you mean by that?" he asked.Her hopes skyrocketed, seeing that Clifford was giving her attention. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "Sir, the thing

    Caroline was thrown off by his words, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Huh?" she muttered, her eyes blinking rapidly as she tried to process what Clifford was saying.Clifford had to let out a long, deep sigh. "I said, if I review his work and find no errors, what should I do, Miss Nyx?" He emphasized each word, making sure his question was clear.Her eyes lit up with a bright light of hope. 'Finally,' she exclaimed in her mind. She straightened her posture, her chest puffing out confidently. "Well, obviously, you'd have to let me take over the project. I mean, if he can't complete such a small task within three hours without errors, how can he be trusted to evaluate markets? How incredulous!""Sir, we need trusted hands to work on this project. We're talking about venturing into a country like Deep Island. It would be absurd to entrust Henry with such responsibility. So, all I request is for me to take over the project, while Henry just focuses on doing start-up projects that would

    She exhaled loudly as they, together with Clifford, stepped into the Strategy department. The lunch break was already over, so all the workers were back in the office. The atmosphere in the room was heavily charged with discussion, everyone's mouths moving and talking about one thing or the order.With his poised stride and dignified presence, Clifford commanded authority without uttering a word. Caroline faithfully followed at her heels as they made their way further into the department. A wave of silence crashed over the room the moment they heard footsteps echoing into their department. Heads swiveled toward the entrance as the discussions came to an abrupt end.They began to act serious, all eyes staring blankly at the computers, like they weren't just making noise a while ago. When Clifford entered a department, all knew to appear diligently focused on their tasks.Their gazes casted at the door, curious to see who was walking in."What's wrong?" Yara murmured, brows knitting w

    "I know"Henry muttered but Victor and Samson just realized it.How are they going to share the room, because there was no way one of the them would sleep on the couch, but Henry already solved this issue so he wasn't worried about it."Just continue showing us around please" The man nods his head, what was on his mind was that he would sent some boys to bring in atleast a two bed bunk so that the last two persons can sleep on them,but since Henry didn't bother he refused to bring that up again, he was just focusing on showing them each of the rooms.Henry smiled because the room was big enough and has a comfy bed, it's soft and was really a cool one, all the rooms were cleaned very well, and arranged properly, even the toilet Henry expected that it won't be that convincing but still it was okay, nothing like it was manageable, he was grateful for that, he knows that if he would tell Clifford or snap it and how it to him he would immediately change the guesthouse or atleast they will

    Samson's eyes widened in surprise, he wasn't told that it was this long, the only thing Henry told him was that, they were going to find Simon who was also the cause of his brother's death and he was determined to find him at all cost, his brother has done a lot for him so atleast what he could for him is to find his killer and maybe put him in cell or kill him.

    "who?" She asked as she then thought that it was Henry since he was the only person he knew that would come looking for her at the office and maybe to tell her for the fact that he wasn't going to be around."The manager Clifford" Her eyes widened as she shifted herself from the bed and sat down at the edge of the bed. "But why? Did I do something wrong?""Not really but though he was like you should come to my office immediately, he sounded so serious though"Her heart sank as she began to think where she made a mistake, but she could grasp anything bad she had ever done, she has always been a good lady with her staffs and also the director of the sales department."Look you shouldn't worry about anything okay?""Are you sure?" Irene asked because she was doubting it."Of course, if anything bad happens all of us wouldn't agree to it, you have been a good lady to all of us so I think you shouldn't worry at all, or was they something you did that I'm not aware of?

    He felt his heart sank as he wondered what she was doing at her place, it has been a long time now since he ever set his eyes on her, he felt so angry at this point, he prayed nothing bad happened to Irene. When they reached her house, he came down even before the driver tries coming down to open the door for him."I will be right back" Henry muttered casually so they won't see that he was so tensed up.As he walked into her small apartment, he knocked first but there was no response, he was about to say it's him but he doesn't know where she was at that moment.He took a deep breathe as he knocked again and this time he heard a sound of a key shaking close to the door as it got opened. Irene gazed up at him with her jaw clenched and her eyebrows lowered and was almost to mutter a word but then it was Henry as she chooses to calm down, her eye lit up then she slowly smiled. "Come in" Henry hesitated for a moment before he came inside, he looked thoroughly to make sure that the mat

    Immediately Henry spotted him sitting down on the staircase, he walked really fast to his side, victor saw him coming as he stood with his laptop and a school bag he carried in his hand."So you are all ready right?" Henry asked as he nods his head. He was putting on a baggy jeans and a hoodie, it was winter already so that why he was dressing like that.After he opened the door and entered inside, he walked really fast upstairs like taking two stairs so he would be fast. He reached his room as he began to arrange some of his things inside his back to embark on this journey, he really hoped that it would be a success and won't end up taking lives.After he was done arranging his things, he came out of his room then as he sighed Priscilla's room he decided to check whether she was inside so that he would be able to tell her a good bye, she has his spare keys so they won't be any problem.As he peeped through the window, no one was inside, it was literally empty, he sighed as he knew

A call came through his phone as he planned on dropping it inside his pocket then he saw the caller ID which was Ms. Stella and then picked it up."Ok already coming to pick you up, I hope you are okay because you weren't picking up your calls, Caeser said the meeting was over" Henry placed his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, he was actually dealing with them Ryan and Clara and that's why he didn't eve

    "I think you should mind the way you talk to my wife Henry or else.."Henry blurted. "Or else what? And what did I say to her that's bad now? I don't really like the fact that you make me seem like the bad guy here""And of course you are, you have changed and she is trying to tell you how bad that is...""Is she my mum?"This made Ryan speechless, he just stared at Henry, clenching his fists and controlling himself not to give him a mark on his face. "And also isn't it you guys who stopped at my business? Why can't you just leave? Not that I'm holding you, the fuck is wrong with all of you, and what would you gain from insulting me, huh?"Clara scoffed. "Because you deserved it Henry" "Does that make any sense to you? Clara I was fucking good to you right? And I make sure you enjoyed my company, I stayed by your side and make sure that I would bear anything that you do to me, remember raining insults on me during your birthday night and I literally had to apologize, huh?"
