“I don’t know what you’re implying, Alex,” Raymond said slowly. “But I can’t contradict decisions made at the highest level. If the detectives have evidence against you, it’s not my place to intervene.”Alex smiled, a slow, deliberate grin that crept across his face as he rolled his fingers over the small round clock on Raymond’s desk. The ticking filled the silence, an odd contrast to the tension that thickened the air. The room felt still, all eyes on him—Jenna, the detectives, even Raymond—all waiting for the next move.Raymond didn’t flinch. He remained seated, his gaze steady on Alex, but his irritation was growing. He didn’t quite understand what Alex was doing, but he knew it wasn’t good.The seconds ticked by. The air grew heavier. Alex wasn’t in any rush, as though he knew something the rest didn’t. He was letting the silence stretch, turning it into a kind of pressure that only he seemed to control.Raymond sighed, shifting in his seat. His patience was starting to wear thin

Nana watched him leave.She couldn't believe he was really leaving when she had a lot to tell him. "Daniela, why didn't you let him know you were coming, you could have avoided this. " Casanova asked while she walked to the fridge and placed a popcorn bowl on Diana's laps.She was surprised she still remembered it was her favourite "What do you mean? You know he won’t let me come if he knows. This is the only way I can get him." She answered and casanova chuckled."I think I have to knock some senses into his head when next I see him " she said, picking the popcorn into her mouth.Casanova smiled." Nana," she called making her look her way." Hm, "I heard you finished your medical training few weeks ago. You’re amazing, girl. The chairman kept boasting of you everywhere we went."" Haha," Nana chuckled loudly. "Thanks," she blushed.Casanova’s smile grew wider. "You’ve got brains and the chairman knows it too."She shook her head slightly, a soft laugh escaping her lips. "I’m jus

The man looked at Eduardo, then glanced at Eduardo. " I'll take my leave now, we'll talk on the phone" he said and walked past Anderson without saying a word. Anderson moved closer to Eduardo. " What in the world is he doing here! Huh?! " Eduardo quietly got up from his seat and stared at Anderson in a calm manner. " Look, Anderson. Clarke is the only one I trust now. We need someone no one in the board is affiliated with. Anderson's face squeezed into that of confusion. " Do you understand the rubbish you are saying? He's a bloody criminal! He's no different from them. "" I understand your concern but he's a changed person now, he's offering to help us fish out the bad eggs in the board if we allow him back. "" What?" You plan to bring him back into the board!! " Just see what I'm trying to see here, Anderson. Let's put past grudges aside for the better good.

Anderson zipped the bag and was about to turn when a loud voice boomed through the room."What do you think you’re doing?!"The air tensed.

Whether it was because Anderson never bent to his authority or because he simply didn’t like the look of him, it didn’t matter. The feeling had always been mutual.Steven shifted uncomfortably beside him. "Here comes the devil " he muttered.Anderson remained calm, meeting Caleb’s glare without flinching.
