Instead of selling shares, they agreed to partner upWith a firm handshake, Jacob and Dunlop sealed their

Dunlop WestI drove as quickly as I could because I was already running late. I reached the premises and parked my car. I received a call from James asking me where I was. I picked up and explained everything as I hastened up my steps. The receptionist directed me to the conference room. She opened the door and I walked in to see Hazel, Jacob and RangerWhat were Jacob and Hazel doing here“Dunlop” they chorused as they widened their eyes in surprise as I sat downI came to find out that Jacob owned the company and Hazel was his secretary. They also found out that I owned BLC.Throughout the meeting, as we were going back and forth with our business deal and I couldn’t help but steal glances at hazel. I can’t believe I once had her as my wife and I just threw it awayWe finally came to an agreement to be partners instead of selling shares.

I wonder what could be on her mindI drove back home to meet William in his room with a frown on his face.

Zion didn’t take it so well, he cried although school hours and uncle Lucas had to come pick him up even before school closed”Oh, so that’s why H

  Hazel WestI arrived at BLC on time, as usual, parked my car and was about to head into the building when I was stopped by the security guy“Ma’am, can I see your identity card please” the tall muscular guy askedI looked up at him and quickly remembered that it was the card Dunlop gave to me yesterday. I dived my hand into my bag in search of itShit.This wasn’t the bag I used yesterday, the bag I used yesterday was at home and so was the Id card“Uhm, I don’t have it right now but I promise you that I work here” I pleaded, hoping he would consider it “I am this company’s assistant CEO”"I have never heard of such, ma’am.

Hazel WestAfter Dunlop left, I settled in and started the day’s work until I heard a knock on my door“Come in” I said and the security guy from earlier walked in“Oh hi, have a seat” I said wondering why he was here“Oh no ma’am, I’m okay here” he said"Don’t be ridiculous, please sit” I urged him“Right here, across form you” he asked and I couldn’t help but smile“Of course, sit” I saidWhen he finally took a seat, I spoke up“So, how can I help you” I swirling my pen in my hands“Ma’am, I just came to apologize.
