"Ben, how was the lady? Did you like her? You see, I told you once you meet her, you'll like her. Tell mom quickly, how did the date go?"Ben was irked by being bugged by his mother while having lunch. But he didn't respond just like etiquette demands and waited till he had finished eating.After wiping his mouth clean elegantly, he turned to his mother. "Thank you for the meal."But she wasn't concerned about that. "Tell me quickly. How did your date with Lily go? I've met her several times and I can tell that girl is incredibly humble and considerate. She's the perfect match for you."Ben could feel his grandfather staring at him intently. The two elderly ones were eagerly waiting for his response.He thought back to the date night. That girl he met wasn't humble or considerate at all! He doesn't know how his mother arrived at that conclusion.A small frown appeared on his face startling his mother and grandfather. He could remember the date didn't go well after Estelle left. It was

"How did this happen?" Jed gritted as he read a particular headline that said,'The Billion-Dollar Deal Different Prospective Companies Have Been Vying For Has Reportedly Fallen Into The Meta's Hands But The Opportunity Was Misused.'Jed's lips twitched with anger. What abuse? Who the fuck hired the media to write all these rubbish?"Boss, it's only the IT department and the administrative department that was aware of it. I don't know how the news got out."Jed stroked his aching temple. The administrative department? He suddenly thought he had given orders earlier for some of them who were in charge of handling the former proposal to be suspended.So the mole must have come from there. Jed gritted his teeth in anger. "Call the GK management board immediately. I'll give them an explanation. Besides, it isn't the proposal submission deadline yet. We've still got time.""Alright sir.""Also, get someone to investigate who leaked out the news among the administrative employees. When foun

As Irwin left the office, Vendetta chimed,'Ping!'[User has just three days left to complete his task!]"I know," Jed hummed into the air. He turned to the PC on his desk and opened the saved file of an unfinished tender.His brows knitted as he set to work. His fingers worked swiftly on the keyboard. But some minutes later, his phone rang,Ping!Ping!He didn't look pleased at being disturbed while at work but his expression changed when he saw the caller id."Hello—"His words were cut off by an angry lioness, "Why weren't you home last night? You didn't send a text or even bother calling. I kept looking out of the window."There were noises in the background to indicate she was in the hospital."I'm sorry," Jed bowed slightly although she couldn't see it."Apology not accepted," Her voice took a turn from being fierce to soft."I wasn't able to read the news yesterday because I was busy but I heard rumors. Are you working overtime because of the tender?"Jed ruffled his hair as he

"Ah," Irwin groaned slightly as he lifted his palm to touch the warm liquid escaping from his forehead.He didn't realize his seatbelt wasn't placed well until the car came to an abrupt stop so he bashed his head against the dashboard."What's wrong with you? Is this how you drive?" Jed lost his temper and hurriedly passed some tissues forward for Irwin to use in minimizing the blood flow.The chauffeur was newly employed so Jed wasn't familiar with his skills yet."Boss, I'm sorry," The wrongly accused chauffeur apologized in a nervous tone. "But, these people—"Jed finally realized something was wrong. His gaze fell on the cars that had obstructed the path and the armed men standing in front of them.One was currently walking in their direction. Jed's eyes grew cold. He didn't want to waste any time with these goons when he had a more important occasion to attend.That annoying heir of the Powell's family wouldn't let him rest if he makes a late entrance to the birthday party."Turn

Jed chuckled throatily. He drained the second cup of champagne and raised it at Drake. "Cheers."A servant passing by collected the empty cup. "Mr Jetti!" A well-known tech magnate who walked up to Jed and Drake."Good evening Mr Powell," He greeted Drake politely but his eyes were on Jed. He stretched out a palm for a handshake."Congratulations on your latest feat, Mr Jetti."Jed humbly accepted the handshake and he was soon whisked away. Drake's expression didn't look good as he watched several CEOs surround Jed.He stepped aside and called someone. "Check the current stats of the board and report back to me."He was feeling so uneasy as he waited for a response. He doesn't understand what Jed was driving at earlier but he knows it isn't something good."Sir," The recipient of his call finally spoke up. "This is not good."Drake's expression darkened. "What's wrong?""Sir, I have sent the current stats to your mail. Check it out." The call was then ended in a hurry as the person fe
