BruceIt would be appropriate to say that I walked into the office that morning feeling refreshed and energized. I had slept well last night due to obvious reasons and the big smile on my face probably made me look less scary.Not like I was ever a scary person, you know. I started the day well, scanning through proposals and signing the right ones. Kelvin entered my office twenty minutes later, giving me a curt bow.“You shouldn't be here doing this,” Those were the first words he told me.“There is chaos in the enemy's camp. Now is the best time to scatter them, we must not waste this opportunity. Jason is in jail and Michael won't shield Baldwin anymore. We must go for him with all we've got, it has to be now.”I didn't flinch. “I want the signed proposals to be put into action as soon as possible,” I said smoothly.“You are not listening—”“I have a company to run!” I exclaimed.I took a deep breath and continued, “Sure, maybe my goal should be taking down Mac Group. Our entire ac

Natasha“The designs are mediocre, I want better ones,” I commented. “Check the previous submissions and incorporate them into this idea. The general vibe and aesthetics and…”“May I?” Kenzie cut in. “I have important news. If I may pull you away for a second.”I stepped away to somewhere private where we could speak freely. Even then, Kenzie kept on looking around suspiciously.“I heard Michael was stabbed.” I shifted backwards,“I don't understand. Which of the Michaels?”“I think both of us only know one Michael,” she said calmly. “It happened earlier. He was found bleeding out on the street and he was helped by the passerbys. He is in surgery currently, we do not know whether he will survive or not.”My head started to ache and my heart began to pound anxiously. As much as I detested Michael, I would never wish he would die.My thoughts ran wild and I began to wonder who could have ordered the hit. Bruce? Someone else?“I'm going home,” I started to run away. When realization hit

Natasha The police station felt tense from the outside and even cold entering it. However, it became noisy the moment I entered.There were detectives running around with files, weapons wielding officers going for training exercises, so many others.“It’s the city’s police headquarters,” the lawyer whispered. “It’s always busy.”“Is that so?” I asked rhetorically.“Oh yes. I am kind of a regular here,” he responded eagerly. “I have many high-end clients and they make me go in and out of here regularly.”“I thought Bruce was your only client,” I muttered.“He is my highest paying client,” he replied, a smile on his face. “As for the others, I pretty much refer them to other lawyers in my firm. There are some big ones with complicated matters and they’re the reason I step foot in here regularly.”He must be hot shit in the law world, that would be why Bruce hired him in the first place. If I wanted to make more small talk, I would ask how long he has been working for Bruce but I kept t

BruceKelvin was outside the station and he ended up driving Natasha and I back to the mansion.Trust me, I blamed him for not bringing a chauffeur along. Natasha claimed she had made the decision so I dropped the topic.“Any updates on finding the hit man?” I asked after we had gotten to the mansion.“You will be the first to know when we find out,” Kelvin replied. “I have put the entire secretary office into work. They are pulling CCTV records as we speak. It will only be a matter of time before we unveil the hit man and make him face the wrath of the law.”I scoffed, “I don’t even care about the law, I just want my name cleared.”“We are on it, I promise,” Kelvin sounded more convincing this time.“Lawyer Alessandro and his police buddy are working hard too. We are using different channels to tackle this, we will get a breakthrough by the end of today.”“I guess I’ll have to trust you,” I muttered. “Please get some rest, Natasha. You must have been so worried earlier.”“No, not rea

Baldwin I paced back and forth in the room impatiently. The telephone rang and I rushed to pick it up. I listened to the report and after, I dropped the telephone with disappointment.The first thing my hand grabbed was the glass of water sitting on the table and I smashed it against the wall.One of the broken pieces cut me on the leg. I took one look at it and looked away.The bleeding wasn't serious, I won't die. My butler walked into the room and bowed curtly,“Lunch has been prepared, sir. Please come with me to the dining room. Today's dish is as you instructed, we made—”“No,” I said. “I don't have the will or the appetite right now. I will let you know when to prepare my lunch.”“But food is a necessity. Please come with me, you won't miss your meals under my watch,” the butler said with a little more firmness.I didn't reply, not until he tugged at the end of my shirt. I punched him as hard as I could and when he screamed and backed away with his nose bleeding, it felt pleas
