Juliana arrived at Globulex Bank in a Taxi. She adjusted her gown immediately she stepped down and paid the Taxi without bothering to retrieve change, rolling her eyes and saying with pride and calculated arrogance. "Just keep the change." She turned, waving the old driver off as he continued to mumble quick words of gratitude. She stopped after taking a few steps, her smile bright and glee, marveling at the glass and steel facade of Globulex Bank glistening in the warm afternoons sun like a towering relic rather than a gigantic financial institution.She looked at the premises with a strange newness, bearing the idea that she was going to legally claim the bank in a few minutes after finishing with the paperwork. Her mind ebbed with delight, and it was fully registered with a genuine smile of pride on her face."This is it," She said under her breath triumphantly. "This is what we're talking about. Here comes the Boss lady." With her clutch swinging lightly in her hand, she approac

Juliana rolled her eyes on Kane, a mix of disdain and malice burning in her eyes. She looks at him ridiculously like he was a twat."What's he doing here, someone like him shouldn't be in a place like this." She rolled her eyes with utter disdain evidence in her stance.James sat straighter, his eyes narrowed, shifting between Kane and Juliana as he feigned complete ignorance. He looked back at Juliana with the same expression. "Mrs. Juliana, have you encountered Mr. Kane here before?" He asked smoothly in practiced ignorance.Juliana poured out without even filtering her words as she had been holding her venom back because of James presence. Her voice was sharp like a witted dagger, laced with a mix of emotions that harmonize into resentment. "Kane, he's a pest," She started, her voice bitter as bile. "Someone like him shouldn't even be walking with an important person like you. He's going to ruin things for you. He's bad luck!" She hissed.James looks outwardly shocked by her pois

Juliana circled Kane like a predator who caught a prey that once escaped her snare, her heels clicking louder in the silence. She held the new file like a weapon.Kane's expression was firm, composure and unreadable. "You see, Kane." She stopped in his front. "I should have left you long ago if I knew you were my misfortune. Do you know how much....how much I paid for this place?" She pointed around the office sarcastically and then a jagged laughter dripping with venom followed from her lips. "$400 million dollars, Kane. Fucking $400 million dollars!" Kane raised a brow, unmoved by her boast. "And what does that have to do with my employment, Ms. Juliana?" He asked quietly.Juliana paused in his front, grinning cold. "You can me, Boss. Not Ms. Not Mrs. Just Boss." She corrected with pride and arrogance, her voice hissing. "And you don't talk back when I'm talking. I own you now. I own everything!" Her voice dropped as she stepped closer to Kane, standing a few inches away. "And

Badmus startled at Juliana's sudden outburst, her eyes blazing like inferno. Badmus's pupil dilated as Juliana's yelp hit him like a shock wave."Get out of my office if you have nothing reasonable to say!" She hissed on him.Badmus pinned on the spot, his expression expressing utter shock and disbelief. Juliana, the woman who had latched onto him, sucking his paycheck like a bug. Nights she would cry into his arm, saying she needs a ridiculous amount of money to crash a friend's birthday. The reality hit Badmus like a thunder bolt— he was just another pot of gold exploited by her.Badmus gulped hard his throat guggle in his ear. "Juliana...have you forgotten?" His voice rose. "Have you forgotten everything I did for you? Have you quickly forgotten I was the one who paid your rent when your landlord wanted to arrest you. I gave you expensive shits, paid for your friends outing and bought you fancy things. Is this how you pay me back?!" Juliana's palm slammed against his jaw like pl

The lobby was a Hall of flame, even the cooling system was blowing hot.Badmus's finger dug into Kane's collar as he gripped him tight. "You're getting arrested today! Defamation and slander!!" The hall buzzed with murmuring. Rossana finally ascended the stairs. She paused on the last step, taking in the scene with a confusing look."Badmus....Kane." She mumbled.Kane's brow knitted tight in surprise. "What are you talking about?" His voice was calm despite the accusations that hit the stale air.Badmus let out a jagged laughter, a cocktail of taunt and condescension. "What I'm talking about is that your filthy ass is going to rot in jail! For life! I'm calling the police right away." Kane's expression remains firm and undisturbed."Let go of me." His voice came low with a dangerous edge like sword breaking through ice."You're not getting away from this! I swear!" He hissed, his grip rumpling Kane's shit. He pulled out his phone, hitting the screen frantically, the chatters buzzin
