LOGINMARKSydney Bowman.I remembered the name almost immediately!He was one of my dad’s senior staff members that handled finance and logistics in the company, but when I got back from business school in Toronto, he said that he had fired Sydney.“What happened, dad?” I had asked him. “I thought he was a very competent staff member,” I had added.“He was, until I found out that he was stealing from the company,” my dad had told me.I could rarely believe this because Sydney was one of the men I thought had integrity. My dad even vouched for him several times, just the way he vouched for and trusted Mr. Devon, so I was deeply shocked to hear that he had been fired, and worse, that he was stealing from the company.“Are you sure? How did you find out?” I had asked him.“Mr. Devon revealed his treacherous acts,” he had responded.“Are you sure Mr. Devon didn’t make any mistakes?” I had asked.“Devon has been working for the company since it was founded, Mark, and you know this. Has he ever
MARKMr. Devon left the company before my secretary. He didn’t know that I was still in the parking lot. I contemplated on trailing him the moment he left, but about five minutes later, my secretary also got into her car and drove out.They both had no idea that I was still hanging around.Usually, I would have thought that it was normal, especially as they didn’t leave together. Besides, other employees did leave after Mr. Devon did, but because of the new found information about them, I just couldn’t see things the same way right now.I might be wrong, but I wouldn’t be sure until I found things out by myself.So, I trailed them.I already lost Mr. Devon because of the time space, but I followed my secretary closely, but also in a way that she wouldn’t suspect. I couldn’t recall where her address might be, so I couldn’t tell if she was on the right path or not.I followed her until she arrived at a luxurious penthouse.“Did Mr. Devon rent a penthouse?” I asked myself.Certainly, my
MARK“I knew Donald could never mean well when I saw him seated at their table that damn evening,” I said.The memory returned to me like a flash, and my teeth crushed each other in fury.“After the dinner, Clara acquainted herself with Donald Shell without Alexa and Mr. Silver’s knowledge,” Vector continued. “But why is she going for the company?” I couldn’t help but ask. “She is being provided for by Mr. Silver, and I know this for a fact because he is an honorable man,” I added.“She is a greedy and desperate woman, Mark, just like her daughter, Ivy,” Vector told me. “She would do anything to get what she wants,” he added.“Does Mr. Silver know anything about this?” I asked.“He doesn’t, which is why I am surprised that you haven’t informed him yet. They are in grave danger and they need to know about it as soon as possible,” Vector said.“Damn,” I lamented.Donald Shell would never stop being a nightmare. He was taking over everything in Paris and ruining the lives of people, and
MARKI could barely get the sex out of my head, but more than that, I couldn’t stop thinking about Alexa.“I need her,” I told myself as I arrived back at my office.Before we went to Toronto, I knew that I needed Alexa. In Toronto, I knew that I needed her, and the feeling was the same when we got back even though she fell right into Donald’s arms. Right now, the certainty was stronger than anything else I had ever known.Vector came to my office almost immediately.It was as though he was following me, and he knew that I had just returned to my company.“Have you been following me?” I asked Vector as he took his seat in front of me.“Do you wish I did?” Vector asked me.“What are you here for?” I asked Vector in return.We had already been friends for more than ten years now, and Vector knew better than to take offense at my straightforward words. Nevertheless, I needed to get back to working. There were still a lot of work to be done, and I needed all the time I could get.Vector’s
ALEXA“We will keep in touch, Mr. Silver. I am going to have further conversations with Mr. Gregory, and relay all that I need to with you,” Mark had said a few minutes ago before leaving.“I thought we were going to have a private conversation?” My dad had asked him, surprised he was leaving right after the meeting.Mark had cleared his throat and said, “I will call you, Mr. Silver.”The meeting had lasted for about an hour and thirty minutes, but all through, the heat of what Mark and I had done still filled my cheeks. At some point, I felt my cheeks burning so badly that I worried that my dad might notice.How Mark managed to handle the meeting without stuttering or missing his points, I couldn’t understand it.Now that he had left me alone with my dad, the whole boardroom became awkward. I could still sniff the smell of sex, and again, I wondered if my dad could smell it too. Mark ensured that I didn’t scream, but then again, my dad was neither stupid nor a child.“Whatever you bo
IVY“Someone is in a pretty shitty mood since she returned from her routine check,” Lina said as she walked into my room and sat down.I sucked my teeth and said, “You bet.”What Lina didn’t know was that I was more than moody. I was disappointed and upset. The younger doctor, whom I had placed all hopes on, had been changed. I couldn’t tell if he had reported about my conduct towards him, and even if he had, I should have been sanctioned. On the other hand, they believed that I was mentally ill, and so instead of doing that, they had simply changed him.The only hope I thought I had had been snatched away from me.I couldn’t blame the doctor, or the damn nurses. The only one to blame in this situation was me, and that was because I had him, but yet, I couldn’t present a more convincing strategy.So yes, I was in a sour and terrible mood, and for the very first time, I wasn’t in the mood to speak with Lina Barry.“Aside from the fact that we are stuck here, what else could be pissing
