“Mr MacMillies, good to see you here” Mr Edwards said sitting on the chair next to Eric.
Eric raised his head, looked at him, and went back to looking at his phone not acknowledging him. But Edwards can't have that.
“Mr MacMillies, news of you getting married is all over everywhere,I just wanted to congratulate you. You should have invited us” Mr Edwards said again with a sky smile.
“Thanks Mr Edwards, but my marriage is meant to be private, and I invited whom I want to invite” Eric said, dropping his phone on the table.
Before they left the office, Luck had information on the people that he had business deals with in the underground area are around, he told Eric about it, and the location, and Eric decided to come down and check it out.
Looking around in the cafe there's no one suspicious, and right before him this bald headed Edwards is here.
He sighs
“I understand, I bet she is pretty that was why you decided to make it private, I was actually thinking you had one or two things with my daughter,so I didn't really believe the news.” Edwards said with a smile that didn't get to his heart.
“Well Mr Edwards I would love to continue this discussion with you, but as you can see I am a very busy man, and also a married one, I wouldn't want my wife waiting for me at home. We will talk another time or never” Eric said standing up signalled Luck and they left.
“Ahhh!, that son of a bitch, I will get you one day” Edwards said. He looked around, picked out his phone and made a call.
“How is the distribution going so far?” he asked.
“It's been going well sir, 2%of the Entertainment company shares and being transferred to your company” the other voice said.
“Just 2%? Why are you so slow? He just left here now” Edwards said.
“We will be fast about it sir” the other voice said.
Edwards hissed and ended the call.
“Such a nuisance” he stood up and left.
“Are you serious Eugene?” Avery asked, she just left Amy's and on her way home.
“Yes ma'am, the doctor said the wound was so deep that it went straight to the heart, it wasn't an accidental kill, but rather It was an intentional kill.” Eugene said.
“Is the place of crime cleared out and given to the local police?”
“Yes ma'am, everything was cleared out.” Eugene replied
“What about the families, are they being notified?” She asked.
“I will do that right away ma'am “ Eugene
“Alright, do that and go home straight” she said and ended the call.
She sighed, Andrew Richardson is really a pain In her neck.
Her phone rings again she looks at it
“Kimberly” was written on it
“Hello” she answered
“Hello ma'am, you didn't show up for the meeting, the meeting was adjoined so I sent details of them to your email” Kimberly said.
“Ok Kimberly, thank you and have a blessed day” Avery said and ended the call.
She sighed, Andrew Richardson issues have made her forget to show up at the meeting in the office. After this Andrew Richardson case, she's definitely going to treat herself to some vacation, some place hidden from her father's eye.
She parked her car at the front of the house, looked around and didn't see any other parked car, looked at the door and went straight inside. Seems Eric hasn't returned home.
She got inside and sat on the couch. What a day, she looks around. Yep,she's the only one in the house,she stood up and looked for the kitchen , after a while and opening the doors she finally found the kitchen, she went into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. She gulped it all in and sighed, She raised her head and……
“Holy shit!” She screamed.
“What the hell are you doing here?” She screamed again. She was about to drop the glass when she Saw a shadow,when she raised her head, she saw Eric looking at her with his hawk like eyes
“Need I remind you that this is my house”Eric said walking into the kitchen.
“Huh yeah, I'm sorry,when did you come in?” she asked.
Eric walked towards the fridge and took water from it and turned into a glass cup and drank it all.
“I will be in the living room waiting for you, we will have a discussion” Eric said and left.
“What a rude son of a Gun” Avery said and dropped her cup and went to the sitting room.
She saw him sitting and operating his phone, she sighed and said far away from him.
Eric didn't raise his head up. He pushed the paper on the table towards her and continued what he was doing.
Avery looked at him and scoffed, took the paper and read its content, her eyes widened open.
What the hell!
“This…This is impossible, what is this?” Avery said, her voice shaking. She started printing the files out, she stood up immediately and went to the printer and took the printed files. Eric followed her, not understanding what's going on. She took the papers from the printer and looked through it, it has the company's name and another name Annabelle Covers, it said the company and everything that is in it, is being transferred to Annabelle Covers, there's also another name that she didn't expect to see, Michaels Jeans Lincoln. The sender is Michael Jeans Lincoln and also his signature is there meaning he gave full support of transferring the company to whomever this person is. Her father wouldn't do such a thing. She immediately took the papers and stuffed them into her cover file and headed outside towards the car, she walked past Luck who stood up immediately the door opened.“Boss, is everything okay?” Luck askedEric shook his head.“Things are getting interesting” he said and br
They got to the company and went to the finances department.Luck looked at his laptop and went to a table that had a laptop on it, the laptop was shut down. Luck tried opening it, but it didn't open, he tried again and the laptop opened, he started checking the files, but then stopped, he turned and looked at Avery and Eric.“I think the person who owns the laptop knows we are coming, they built a firewall around the files, if I put in the wrong password everything including the file will self destroy”Luck said, adjusting his glasses. Avery looked at him and sighed. “Move” she said to him and went to the laptop and started operating it. After a few minutes she turned to them and said,“Done” She started transferring the files into her own laptop. She transferred everything and then shut down the laptop.“All done” She said and left, going straight to her office.Luck looked at Eric.“She's good,” luck said with a smile. Eric looked at him and Luck quickly shut his mouth “Sorry b
Avery pushed the door open with a great force,and entered the room.“What the hell? How dare you barge into my room like that? Do you want to die?” Mira shouted looking at Avery with angry eyes.“Oh I would very much love that, but unfortunately it's you who is going down older sister,” Avery said with a smile.Mira stood up and walked towards Avery looking at her angrily.“It seems to me that your sickness has gotten into your head,that you now speak gibberish” Mira said to her face.“Sickness, c'mon sis look at us, who looks sick of the both of us?” Avery asked.Mira shook her head and looked at the time. “You know what Avery I'm not in for your madness today, say what brought you here, I'm busy” She said.“Busy? Busy packing? Oh I can see you are running away?” Avery said.Mira chuckled.“Running away? From who exactly, you? It's called a vacation Stupid, I know you won't understand since you haven't had one” Mira said smiling at her.“You should be glad I didn't come with the cop
It's been two weeks since the accident, Avery has been at home recovering. Her father had to step in with the help of Eric to assist till she returns, Andrew Richardson case was held on hold for the period of time. But he hadn't been keeping quiet either, news of other people's death had gotten to her. Eugene has been trying his best to look for any evidence. Amy has been coming in and out of Eric's mansion all in the name of coming to visit Avery, she can't forget her reaction when Amy came to the mansion for the first time. She opened her mouth so wide that a bug flew into it. She said she knew Eric was rich and lives in a mansion, but not in her wildest dreams has she ever imagined that the mansion would be this big and beautiful, she raised her eyebrows at Avery, and said“Now I see why you love him so much” Amy said, Avery laughed remembering that day.Marcy has finally left, she said she has to go to work as she's left her work for 2 weeks. And it's just her and Eric in the hou
They all turned around and Avery's eyes bulged out in shock.What is he doing here?Abram stood up immediately.“Mr MacMillies, to what do we owe this visit” he said offering him the couch.“I came to get my wife,” Eric said, looking at Avery.“Y-your wife?” Avery's askedAmma and Abram looked at her in surprise.“Uhhh, you are the wife sis” Abram said with a small smile.Avery scowled at him and looked away. She took the drink on the table and was about to sip from it whenEric walked towards her and sat close to her.Amma dragged Abram away from there.“We will be outside, holla for us if you need us” Abram said and followed his mum out“What do you want?” Avery asked not to look at him.“I went out for some business only for me to get to the hospital to find that the person I left there wasn't there anymore” Eric said looking at her weirdly.Wait, is he pissed at her or something? Why is he looking at her like that?“Do you think you should be walking around on stitches like that?
“What?” Amy shouted, holding my hands.“Why would he do something like that? Is he deranged or something?” “I don't know, but all I know is that the New York cops have been looking for him for a long time,” Avery said, putting a fruit in her mouth.“But the one that baffles me the most is what he said, that Andrew Richardson lives amongst us” Avery said thinking.“Hmmm that's weird” Amy said.“Yes, I wanted to ask for more details before he got mad, that means, we might have been talking to Andrew Richardson and we might not even know about it,” Avery said, looking everywhere.“Isn't he an old man?” Eugene asked“Hmmm rumors had it that he's an old man who uses a walking stick, but there is no proof of him or pictures of him,” Amy said.“That means it will be difficult to catch him” Eugene said.“Difficult is an understatement, more than difficult, if he's part of us it means he knows our plans and everything” Avery looked around “If he's an old man, that also means he has people wo
