Chapter Eleven: Conquered Step
The pandemonium had done its magic. Everyone rushed out of the conference hall. Kate winked slightly at Vince before she joined the crowd. Within a twinkle of an eye, the fire service had shown up only to be disappointed that it was a false alarm.After a thorough sweep through the building, they deemed it safe for the staff to return but for the meeting, thankfully, it was too late.Jake Darius and Kate, Vince’s grandmother, had gotten into the car and vacated the premises. All of the cowardly board of directors had left too. Vince couldn’t help but laugh hysterically at the outturn of events. To say he was just starting to get to know how cunning his grandmother was, the more intriguing it was for him.Returning to the office, he made for his desk and started working on a file when Amber returned to his office. The look on her face was familiar and Vince knew better than to give her any attention. She paced endlessly before turning to him and expressing her mind.“You still want to
Chapter Twelve: The New Era
“Mr Darius, this contract will only run for two months then you will have your freedom.”Vince’s cheerful voice rang loudly in Jake’s ears as he fastened the Rolex watch on his wrist. The golden frame of it shone lovingly on his face, easing his growing anxiety. He tried to shake off the feeling of self doubt but a part of him still remained confident. He had had a really terrifying dream the previous night where his dead friend Caleb was screaming angrily at him for selling out his life just to save a woman that will never be his.Jack, Caleb and Erica had grown up on the streets together, despite his emotional investment in her, she didn’t seem to share his romantic feelings. She got married afterwards and started pumping out kids for an average man whom she had always adored. Unfortunately, her husband felt he had settled for less and treated her less even when she was dying of kidney stones.If the dead were truly knowledgeable enough, Caleb would have known he wasn’t taking up th
Chapter Thirteen: The CEO's stare
Amber tapped her feet impatiently on the floor. She was tired of Bernard’s continuous blabber about his unfortunate incident with Vince. For some awkward reason. His usual chatter that used to interest her was starting to irritate her.“…..and he was too foolish to know what he did wrong and I….” Bernard rambled on.“Bernard, you shouldn’t have given such sensitive documents to Vince for modification in the first place.”“Are you defending him now Amber?” Bernard said painstakingly. He raised a curious brow in Amber’s direction.That multiplied her irritation. Bernard had never stopped being sensitive about her past relationship with Vince when he was the one that actually brought him back to the company. Such a confused mind! She thought inwardly.Amber took a look at her wristwatch, she got up on her feet ignoring Bernard's scowl. This was her office and she needed her space at the time.“It is lunch hour Ben, go and get yourself something to eat, you have lost so much weight in a s
Chapter Fourteen: Bended Bond
“My apologies Mr Finn, it was an oversight on our part.” The petite hospital attendant said slowly. Vince gave her a soft smile, he hadn’t planned to show up at the hospital to see his ex-mother in law, Maria Reed, but getting the urgent call that she had slumped, a part of him just wished to ensure she was safe. He woke up very early that morning since it was a weekend and hastily dressed up for his workout. The pure annoyance in Bernard’s face the previous day when he informed them that the hospital had called him about Maria’s health satisfied him. Showing up there today was going to make it more fun. After his workout session, he returned to the mansion. His grandmother was already awake and was having her breakfast, so was Jake Darius. They all exchanged pleasantries before he made for his shower. While he got dressed, one of the mansion butlers showed up at his doorstep. He knocked twice and when Vince opened the door, the older man passed a small bunch of flowers to
Chapter Fifteen: Bold just as I need
“Convince me in ten seconds that I shouldn’t blow the whistle.”Primrose picked up the latte in front of her and took a sip from it. Vince stared at her with an unreadable expression on his face. The woman looked too childlike to be in her thirties but Vince knew better than to overlook the destructiveness that lies in her.“What exactly do you want Prim?” He questioned suddenly.“You must be thinking of money! No, I don't want your money Vincent.”Primrose picked up her recommended glasses, as if it was going to enhance her vision. Vince knew better than to trust that her sights were bad. She had always had the sharpest sight as he had ever remembered.“You are recording our conversation, aren’t you?”Prim drew back in her chair and removed the sunglasses “you caught me!” She said blushing furiously. She picked up her phone and handed it over to Vince whose expression widened in surprise. Every bit of the happenings at Peak Hills for the past few weeks since he resumed back to work w
Chapter Sixteen: Can We Get It Together?
The first time in six years that Vince had seen Amber disheveled. She had always looked so put together even when she was on the verge of going to prison but at that moment, she looked like a total shadow of herself. It wasn’t much surprising when Bernard walked in looking well put together. He had always been the selfish one, hadn’t he?” “Miss Reed, can you please check this…” “Sorry Mr Smith, not right now.” Mr Smith wasn’t happy about that, his expression darkened and it was obvious that he felt insulted. He was a year above Amber and Vince in law school and he took pleasure in bossing them around during their first year at Peak Hills. “You are becoming increasingly rude Amber.” “And you are being a jerk right now Thomas!” Amber’s firm voice echoed through the room. Everyone turned around as she had never been that blunt towards anyone before. “I could bet my inheritance that it was a transferred aggression.” Vince thought inwardly as he looked towards Bernard’
Chapter Seventeen: Raise The Bar
Mr Finn, can I tell you a secret?” Vince knew he would have usually just waved it away. He had never been the type to be interested in other people’s secrets but right at that moment, he was genuinely curious to know what the pink coated man was about to say. “What is that?” He said trying to sound as casual as possible. “I am actually….” He moved closer to Vince’s ear and whispered “I am actually straight.” Vince scoffed inwardly. The man drew back and smiled. He felt proud of himself but on the other hand Vince was partly relieved. Being a moron wasn’t a crime, so Vince didn’t feel offended. “Like I said I actually like females but most of them find me too creepy and weird. So, I stick to crushing on them silently and focusing on myself but that doesn’t stop me from admiring cute men like you though.” Vince nodded his head and rolled his eyes. He made for his desk and settled in. He still found Brian’s presence uncomfortable and unsettling but he didn’t show it anymore. Soon e
Chapter Eighteen: Close To Perfection
“No, it was…”“Oh! Mr Finn, I don’t think it is anything you need to concern yourself about. Clara let’s leave.” The other lady said glaring at Vince suspiciously.They got up from their seats and bid him goodbye. Vince knew better than to probe further as almost everyone at the law firm was already aware of the bad blood between him, Amber and Bernard. Pushing it too hard was giving them a clue that his revenge was brewing.After Vince finished up his lunch, he hesitated before returning to his office. He hadn’t gotten used to Brian’s colorful presence yet but he made up his mind to manage through the day. They exchanged pleasantries and he focused on his job.Brian’s phone rang and he picked up instantly. He had a playful vibe with the caller who dropped a word on him, which wiped off the humor from his voice. He hastily dropped the phone and turned towards Vince.“Suck in everything you are doing buddy, the fox is here.”“Fox?”“Kate Finn, the founding mother of Peak Law Firm.”Vi
Chapter Nineteen: Just Before Sundown
Vince watched in awe as the paramedics wheeled his grandmother out of the conference room. His heart was thumping loudly in his chest. He had to slow down his movements when he noticed that most of the staff had rushed out to the scene. Jake Darius was already there hovering above her, trying to check her breathing.After she was successfully rushed out of Peak Hills company, Vince was panting really hard.Just like everyone else, he reluctantly returned to his office but before he did, he had called Jake Darius on the update about his grandmother’s health.To his dismay, he wasn’t picking up his call.Vince was furious, he checked through his phone and some blogs already posted about his grandmother’s fainting scenario. He banged his fist hard against the nearest wall when he heard a voice behind him.“Why don’t you just succumb to fate?”Vince turned around, he was faced with the most despicable person. At that moment, his loathe for Bernard Harris doubled and he wished that he cou
Chapter Twenty: Seasonal Update
Bernard kept apologizing but his eyes never left Vince. He had thought of a million ways to scold him when they returned to the office but all of it felt too good for a sluggish man like him.Vince, on the other hand, had to apologize severely. Jake Darius pretended to be pissed but Kate just watched the interesting scene from her bed.Now she understood her grandson better, the company needed to be reviewed. Bernard kept treating Vince less of a human to appear better in front of the higher ups but what he didn’t know was that he was giving Kate a good reason to make him a target.“I am sorry Mrs Finn, Mr Finn, my apologies. Mr Vince here can be ... .sluggish sometimes.” Bernard said hurriedly.“Vince?” Jake Darius questioned with a raised eyebrow.“Oh! My apologies, he is a desk staff. Mr Vince Finn, apparently, shares a name with a great entity like you.” Bernard said boldly, he tried to be funny but when no one seemed to be amused, he sank back into seriousness.“I apologize for d
