The business meeting went longer than Arthur expected. There was a situation. Sammy Frank had moved in on a contract deal with one of the commercial banks. The advertising team was supposed to sign an advertising deal with them, but Sammy had outsmarted the team. Everyone was pissed off, especially the managing directors. He promised them he would try to sort out the situation, but inwardly he knew they had lost the contract. He had to figure out a way to deal with Sammy Frank. The annoying man had gone too far. He returned to his office and made another complaint. Marianna hadn’t shown up for work. That young lady was looking for trouble. He shifted her from his thoughts and focused on accomplishing his tasks for today. His voicemails played ten times while he was working. It was a familiar voice. An emotional Claire begs for her job back and a place in his life. Mark hadn’t allowed her into the room, and she was at Susan’s place. Arthur chuckled. So, she knew how to beg? Her sorro

Arthur checked his closet again and moaned. He hadn’t done enough shopping since he became the King of the Craig family and all his father’s clothes had been inherited by different family relatives. He had been grieving to fight for them or stop them from taking the clothes. He glanced at his wrist watch . There was still time for him to make a stop at Vintage stores. The most classic store in the universe. He had always wanted to purchase outfits from there but Claire had been his priority. He sighed. Her betrayal still hurted him even though he had started his revenge plan.She had returned to Mark and as expected, the hopeless romantic had accepted her with open hands. They were the hottest couple now in the company and he received daily updates on how Mark had been flashing cash around. Arthur suspected Mark was stealing from the company but he wasn’t going to start any investigat\ion yet. Mark had to enjoy the taste of wealth before he crashed and Arthur would be there to serve h

Arthur tapped the door twice before opening it. Diana looked pathetic. Her hair was ruffled, even though he had given her a lenient punishment. He had even allowed the housekeepers to allow her to bathe throughout her five days in the lair. She ate exquisite meals too, and she read a book. He wasn’t that wicked, even though the family termed his actions a terrible punishment. The letter wasn’t meant for close family members, but Arthurd disagreed, and at the end of the arguments, it was mostly done by Marianna. He had agreed to set her free today.She eyed him maliciously. ‘Have you come to gloat?’Arthur smiled, throwing a blanket on her. ‘The cold is a bit harsh, right? ’ She hissed, covering her shaking body, ‘So, you do care about me? That’s lovely. Now, can you leave? I was enjoying the silence before you came to corrupt the air.’‘You are still a pest, Diana. I thought after five days, you would have learned your lesson. I guess I was wrong. I will just leave you here for the n

The Hipit company stood out distinctively from other-story buildings. Arthur smiled, giving himself a pat on the shoulder. He had done well. He walked into the building, responding to a few people who stopped to greet him. Eni walked up to him, reading his tasks for today. The lady didn’t know when to be quiet and chatty. He paused in his steps when she announced a board meeting with the executive management team tomorrow. He hadn’t prepared his presentation for an investment programme he wanted to share with the team. He would have to do it tonight before travelling back to New Jersey, or he could reschedule the meeting. The latter seemed like the best option. He couldn’t show up with half-written documents and unprepared notes tomorrow. He would look like a joke.Imagine what Uncle Derrick would say when he discovered Arthur embarrassed himself in front of the executive management. He was the chief executive officer, and according to standards, he’s supposed to be the one with the

Sitting in the office, Arthur listened to his directors as they talked about the strategies for the month and how they could improve the team efforts of every brand. Arthur nodded when it was needed and said little when they asked for his approval. They were able to review the company’s financial goals and noticed that some of the tasks on the list had been accomplished solely by Arthur.He nodded to their praises and agreed with their constructive criticisms. Marianna’s lack of work enthusiasm was also talked about, and Arthur promised to deal with the lady. He was also tired of the back and forth with her. Ever since he released Diana from the liar, there was always a reason for her to bend his rules or ignore his orders. They couldn’t continue like this.The directors also informed him that they would be working on getting the technical and facility up to date with the latest project they had on the table. Arthur still felt it was too early to start another project after the last o
