Avery smiled at her mother, but the smile didn't reach her eyes and said, "Mrs Martins, you don't have the authority to chase me away from my home. Do you own this house?If you do, please show me the Title Deeds. Aunt Elizabeth, please don't provoke me because I will ask my father to transfer this house to my name."Her mother started to panic. What would happen if her husband transferred the house to Avery? What would happen to her and her niece? She wanted to strangle Avery, but she restrained herself because Avery wasn't a pushover.Mrs Martins looked at Avery coldly, then she got off on the second floor. Avery got off at the third floor. Her father left the study room door open. She walked in with the food on the tray and put it on her father's desk.Avery smiled brightly and said, "I cook this food with love, Daddy. Enjoy."

Her father smiled and replied, "I promise. Quickly tell Daddy, what is going on?" Avery looked at her father and said, "Daddy, there is someone I like. His name is Jordan Bennet."Her father thought he was mentally prepared, but he wasn't because Bridgette told him about this boy a year ago. He even investigated him. He looked at his daughter with sadness in his eyes and asked, "Do you trust this boy, Sweetheart?"Avery looked at her father and replied, "I love him, Daddy. He put a smile on my face. It is a pity that the human heart is a mystery, it's impossible to see the other person's intentions. Should he hurt me in the future, I will take it as a lesson for being naÃŊve.I promise that I will never disappoint you, Daddy. Also, I will not get pregnant outside of wedlock. I will never give Aunt Elizabeth a chance to laugh at you for refusing her to abort me when I was a fetus.Daddy, Jordan, comes from a poor background. He told me that his father is working at the shoe factory, and
Mr Duma took a contract from his leather bag and gave it to Jordan to sign. He didn't even read it; he quickly signed his name.

They would be at the Construction site at 12 pm.Mr Duma smiled at the young man then he stood up, gave Jordan his business card then he shook Jordan's hand, and walked out of the private room.

I am over the moon, Mom. I will buy you the biggest
Mr Duma asked them to follow him to the 18th floor. The office space was divided into working areas. Mr Duma looked at Jordan and asked, "Since your employees will be working outside most of the time, I think these two floors would be enough. What do you think Mr Bennet?"Jordan had told himself that he would never waste money by hiring more employees. He would use the Martins Group employees for a long period. So, there was no need for more offices.Jordan looked at Mr Duma and replied, "I think these two floors would be enough, Mr Duma."Mr Duma nodded his head and said, "You have to hire the Human Resources Director as soon as possible to advertise the positions you want to fill. Remember you have a year to have your workforce. Try to hire them as soon as possible.The Martins Group workers have been in the industry for decades and are highly skilled. I will suggest that you hire ten thousand Construction workers and let them learn from the skilled Martins Group employees."Jordan f
Avery knocked on Siyabonga's door and entered the office. Siyabonga was inundated with work. When he saw Avery, he smiled brightly and said, "What a pleasant surprise my dearest sister."Avery smiled and replied, "I miss you, big brother." Siyabonga kissed her on both cheeks and led her to the sofa. He looked at her and asked, "Do you want something to eat?"Avery shook her head and said, "I had lunch with Jordan, I am not hungry." Siyabonga was aware of Jordan Bennet, and he didn't like him.Siyabonga looked at Avery and asked, "Last time you told me that Jordan had sent his business plan to several companies, has he received any response?"Avery shook her head and replied, "He sent me his business plan and it was not well written. I asked my father to help him set up his company.I don't know the details of the contract, but Dad told me that he was supposed to meet my God grandfather and his team, but Jordan canceled on them at the last minute."Siyabonga was shocked to hear that CEO
At the Bennet Group, President Bennet was in his office with his Executive Secretary, Henry Gibbs. He looked at him and said, "Please arrange the meeting with the Construction Director and the Team Leaders.Henry Gibbs replied, "President, I called Director Evans this morning to invite him to the meeting. He told me that they were not available. The Martins Group had given the Construction workers one-month vacation leave until the end of February."President Bennet was fuming with anger and said, "Give me Director Evans' phone number, I will call him myself. Who does he think he is?"Henry Gibbs gave his boss Director Evans' phone number then he walked out of his boss' office. President Bennet immediately called Director Evans' phone number.When it was connected, he said, "Hello Director Evans, you are speaking to President Bennet. Please cancel your vacation leave with immediate effect. I want to see you at the Construction site at 1 pm.If I don't see you at the Construction site,
