“Are you crazy?” Lisa flared up. “How dare you accuse me of doing such a thing?”Liam was on his feet, stomping his left leg in a fit of rage while their father was looking at them like a spectator.Lisa, who was now on her feet was screaming at Liam’s face. “You think that everyone is like you? You think everyone will do anything just to prove a point?”“Then how do you explain this?” Liam fired back.“I don’t fucking know!” Lisa clapped. “Same way I wasn’t even aware that you went to see Fredrick. The last time I checked, I was in a bar drinking myself to stupor.” She then turned to her father. “Dad, I hope you don’t believe the crab that Liam is saying.”Joey sighed and shook his head.“You can ask Smith. I was with him in the bar and hours later, we texted Morris to come and take me home. So how did I get the chance to even see Fredrick and mess with him?” She spat.Joey abruptly stood up. “Did you just say that you were together with Smith?”Liam flashed an impish grin. As far as

“Are you okay?” Lisa demanded after noticing the cold expression on her father’s face. Joey flashed a smile and rested his back against the car seat.They had closed for the day and were heading home. As the driver sped down the road ahead, Joey wondered whether he should inform Lisa about the second mail he got from Roving Ventures or wait till they get home and have a proper conversation like he planned.“I’m so proud of you.” He mumbled.Lisa noticed the tired expression on his face. “Could there be a reason for the sudden declaration?”“Well, Roving demanded that you should be the one to officiate the deal on all our behalf. For them to come up with such a narrative, it could only mean that they don’t trust Liam and they are aware of your capabilities so I am proud of you and maybe.” He sat up with an index finger raised. “Maybe, I should have allowed you to handle it in the first place.”Lisa smiled and placed a hand on her father’s lap. “I understand you, dad. You did what you

Ever since Lisa returned from Roving Ventures, she had barely done any paperwork. If she had presented her proposal and gotten a few remarks from Fredrick, she wouldn’t have felt any load on her chest but now, there were lots of drafts on her table and she could barely look at anyone. After she returned from the meeting, her father asked how it went and she told him about her experience. “It was brief and unexpected.” Lisa had told her father who replied that men like Fredrick don’t waste a lot of time on business matters hence when they see a good deal, they know it in an instant. Lisa sighed and grabbed a file from her desk. Based on her analysis, it would take Fredrick about two days to study her proposal and then make a verdict and they’ll get his email by the third day so there was no need to waste time thinking since there was a lot to do. She was about to open the file when Liam barged into her office. “What’s the matter with you?” Lisa was startled. The file dropped from

“Sorry, I got caught up in traffic.” Nathan apologized immediately after he walked into the board room. Last night, he had directed Fredrick to schedule a meeting with all the board of directors at Roving Ventures. The meeting was slated for 10 am and Nathan had just walked into the boardroom at a quarter past 10. “That’s okay. You’re not that late anyway.”Fredrick replied and waved his hand down with a smile. Nathan sat on the chair directly opposite Fredrick and rolled his eyes around. “Great. I guess everyone is here.”“Yes,” Fredrick responded. Conor was seated on Fredrick’s right. To date, he was still shocked by the fact that the man whom he considered Smith; the riff-raff was an Alcantara. All efforts to reach Lisa and her family so that he could break this news to them proved abortive so this evening, Connor had decided to storm the Carson mansion. “Let’s begin then,” Nathan said after dropping his phone on the table. There were four persons in the room apart from Fredri

It was the day of the partnership party and word had already gone around the streets that the only company owned by the Alcantaras in Springville was hosting a one-of-a-kind event. At the venue, several exotic cars were already pulling up and were being directed by security experts toward the parking lot. The planning team had placed everything in order from coordinating the guests, decorations, and lighting, to bringing in top-tier caterers and all that was needed to throw a world-class party. The partnership party was slated for 7 pm. The guests will first of all have dinner, hang around, and then begin the meeting at 8 pm. So far, about 5 companies have been invited to the partnership event. The heads of these companies were asked to come with about three persons. For the Carsons who were running a family business, Joey felt that there were no ideal people to tag along than his wife and children. At quarter to 7 pm, almost all invited dignitaries were present at the venue. Whil
