The Peter Principle Novels & Stories

Too convenient that it felt too good to be true. “I don’t like this Peter,” I said, pushing the file away. “It’s too easy. They are agreeing to all our terms. It’s like they are not even interested in their own gains.” Peter sighed, a hint of impatience in his expression. “Mr Logan, you are overthinking it again. So what if they are eager? We need this deal. If we pull this off, we will surpass a quarter of Miller’s Enterprises profit and we will win the bet. That’s all that matters. Consider it a fortune from the almighty.”

Peter said, flaunting the key in his hand. I looked at him for a moment before saying, “I don’t want it.” Peter didn’t give up. He kept persuading me. “Instead of driving the car that bastard who doesn’t value you gave you, why don’t you drive the one I’m giving you, huh?” I looked at him and said, word by word, “I don’t want it. And stop trying to win my heart. I don’t want you.” Peter replied shamelessly, “If you don’t want me today, you’ll want me tomorrow.”

"Who. And I think Dallas may be right. By the time we're finished tomorrow, you'll be primed for the next level of the pleasure principle." She yawned. "Just what is the pleasure principle?" "Striving to constantly attain the highest level of pleasure possible. And that's what we've got in store for you, princess. Meanwhile, close your eyes and get some sleep." As she drifted off Tracie's last thought was how lucky she was the day Pete Montgomery had turned out to be her new boss.

Janet replied. Immediately Peter stuttered, of course he didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings to his boss’ son. “Oh no ... that’s not what I mean, Miss Janet, but I just think this man doesn’t have enough experience,” Peter tried to defend himself and explain his words. “How do you know he doesn’t have enough experience? You don’t know how it works yet,” Janet argued. “You are right Miss, I was just expecting. Is it appropriate for an inexperienced person,-” “You yourself have no right to brag and say to someone before seeing it,” Janet said quickly.

Peter gritted his teeth and anger and said, "Jenny Gomez, it wasn't you who had handled the big project. It was Shallie Campbell and her team's hard work that she managed to take projects from other companies. Her one year of hard work had given a big success for the company in the relations with others. That's why he had given us the party. You understand. You are also a part of Public Relation, but you haven't achieved a single target on time, still you managed to enter the party. Don't you feel ashamed of it?" I pursed my lips. Peter clearly knows that I am actually a hard working and sincere employee. He knew the reason why I have been an average employee for the last two years. Still,

Her phone buzzed again. She breathed in. She had one, now. Peter: “Heard it at work. Different issue. Different country. Probably nothing. Just... felt familiar.” Stephanie read it twice. Then a third time. Probably nothing. That’s what Peter’s version of reassurance was couched in, to himself as much as to everyone else. He was cautious about drawing conclusions. Methodical. He believed in the scientific method and protocols.

Or was this an interview test? “Yes, I know I’m good enough for the job, sir,” Peter mumbled after a while. He didn’t know what Jackson expected to hear from him, but he was a forty-eight-year-old man, and he knew that the question was a very tricky one. He had a little wife to support, even though she was just an additional problem to him. “I don’t think so though. I mean, I already awarded the contract to someone else,” Jackson uttered indifferently as he toyed with the glass of wine that the waitress had just brought.

You'd have had to put in a lot more effort to return later. Peter grandly portrayed his malicious acquisition of Ford Corporation shares as an act of goodwill, portraying himself as Kendrick's helper. But Kendrick was no fool. If he had still been the Kendrick who wholeheartedly believed in Peter, he would never have imagined that his mentor was plotting against him behind the scenes. "In that case, sell me all the shares you have, Peter. That way, I'll have the most shares in my hands to return to Ford Corporation. "Tell me, how much do you want? I'll pay any price. Higher than what's on the market." Kendrick pretended to trust him completely, smiling foolishly.

“So, she’s the main goal you always talked about?” “Precisely.” Alan nodded confidently with a proud smile on his face. “Ah, now I know why you were so determined to build your business empire for years. She’s worth it.” Peter chuckled, and I laughed softly, my cheeks reddening from the embarrassment of all the praise. Crazy. His mouth was so sweet! With a baritone voice, sharp, glittering gaze, and firm handshake, he could conquer any woman to spread her legs for him. Too bad his behavior and criminal acts were so terrible.

Peter said in his reply to me. Peter baffles me a lot most of the times because how and why is it possible for a single human to be so perfect without flaws, I used to think it’s impossible for any human to be alive without flaws but meeting Peter, I had a change of thoughts, it’s totally possible because Peter is really without flaws!

He is extremely sad about all this that’s happening but at the same time he still trusts and believes in me! I have never ever in my life met a man born of a woman that’s as perfect as he is.
