“I don't think so too because I checked and confirmed that he wasn't doing any official review.” Brandon nodded. “I was near the north gate last afternoon when I saw him. The man looked professional and detailed. I got a picture.” I looked at Brandon. He is becoming more useful to me these days. I looked at the photograph. The man was talking to someone in the Campus uniform. He had medium height, had a solid build and had a stillness about him. He was the kind of person that has been trained to keep their body quiet, he was probably a former police officer or in the military. “Send the picture to me.” I told Brandon. I felt my phone buzz. Brandon had sent the pictures immediately. “Thanks for this, I'll work on this..” “You don't have to. I have already had two people watching from the main gates since Saturday morning.” I didn't stop glaring at him. “Don't worry, you don't have to worry. These are people who are opening me favours. They know his face.” I didn't stop

“I brought some news for you, young master.” Henry said, making me wonder what it was now. Today was a Saturday and I really wanted to stay home with Lily and spend some time knowing fully well that my weeks were always so busy. I looked at Lily who was busy with her game and I nodded, signaling him to talk. “We received a letter.” I was quite taken aback. Who would send a letter to my address? None of my colleagues would do that, neither will the people who work for me do that too. “The letter is from Sophie.” Henry said, handing over to me. She says she wants to speak with you and that it was urgent. The letter which seemed to be sealed before wasn't anymore because Henry had read that to know the content. I had given him the power to do that. Most times, I didn't have time to read letters and people who always sent them were silly. Some of the letters being sent to me are usually love letters from student in my school who think they are in love with me. Most of the tim

She has come clean even though I didn't expect that from her. Coming to me like this didn't cancel everything that had happened between us in the past. Those viral videos she made mocking me which I found out about a few days ago didn't disappear suddenly, the photo she had also taken of me didn't disappear as well. It was all real and it didn't give my mother back the days she lost, working in that house. "Can I ask you something?" I said. "Yes." She responded. “The livestream you had done this morning and the photographer across the street.” I watched her expression. “Was all of this planned as one of your contents?” She glared at me for a while, probably surprised that 8 had caught on. Then she looked away and that told me everything I needed to know. “This meeting is real, Ethan. I know what you are thinking. That I'm probably trying to use you but..” “Aren't you?” “No. I'm not going to lie to you. I thought that I could show people that we already talked and that we

Hargrove was four seats to my left. He was dressed in his usual dark suit, his silver hair immaculate, his expression carrying its standard mild authority. He nodded when I sat down, professional and neutral, the nod of a man who has no personal feelings about anything that is about to occur.Gerald opened the meeting. Three routine items were handled in the first forty minutes — quarterly reporting from the real estate division, an update on the east district acquisition completion, a staffing matter in the banking sector that required board acknowledgment.I moved through all of it efficiently. I had read every document in advance. When questions came I answered them directly and without hesitation, and I watched, without appearing to watch, the way certain board members registered each answer. Recalibrating. Updating their assessment.Then Gerald moved to the next item."Mr. Hargrove has requested time to introduce a governance proposal," Gerald said. "Edward."Hargrove stood.He w

“How did you know where to find me?” I asked her, surprised at how intentional and precise she was at waiting for me. Emma never waited. She was always the one who people waited for. The one who people always wanted to be around. I was surprised at how bad she looked even with the amount of money that Daniel or was it Victoria? Was Victoria maltreating Emma?As much as she looked bad, she still had her charm. And she was taking a risk. For me.We were outside where people were sitting and watching. It was already so dangerous for her to be seen with her ex but openly? It would cause chaos. Not just for her but for me too. Daniel would come after me, not like he'd win but that could ruin reputation “I met you at the same time as before. I waited for you.” I nodded. “Did Daniel mention anything specific about who he was going to approach for the address.” “No. Just someone.” I wasn't really worried. That information wasn't really accessible anywhere but I was a bit bothered abou
