“If your reason isn’t satisfying, I will send you home without any deal.”Caleb took in a deep breath. “I’ll be honest, Mr. Russell. It’s been over five years since Creed Zone was built, and you have not expanded it horizontally even by a millimeter, right? You’ve only gone sky-way when you could have easily bought more land and expanded this place.“I liked how you stuck to this piece of land and did not trouble anybody living next to it. It’s not possible without having strong ethics. That’s why I wanted to sell my product to you. Of course, your tech is also quite advanced, so I thought you’d better understand my product.”“Many people have wanted me to expand,” Russell said, “even my grandfather. But my mother told me to have a friendly relationship with my neighbors and to show my creed with my actions. You’re the first outsider who noticed that and spoke positively about it.”“So, do we have a deal?” Caleb asked expectantly.Russell smiled and stood before putting his hand forwa

“There’s no chance for us to get back together,” Caleb said, not with a firm voice but with enough depth to convey his feelings.Rita’s countenance fell.Caleb started to walk away.Faye walked with him, already talking about the plans for the dinner that night.Rita clenched the mobile tightly. Seeing them enter the elevator, she rushed in and joined them before the door closed.“I thought you’d take a while to recover,” Faye said openly.“I’m not as deluded as someone thought I was,” she retorted calmly but coldly. “I definitely wasn’t expecting anyone to propose to me. As for why I didn’t question my father, it’s because I know that there’s no point in questioning someone who would never accept his mistake in this case. He’s fully against our relationship, so you’re the stupid one for expecting me to question my father.”Caleb frowned.“Also, I didn’t even know that my dad was oppressing you at the company until recently,” Rita said. “But I still do not feel that I made the wrong c

Caleb was driving home, but he received a message from someone he least expected.It was Sherry.And the message was Denise getting fired from her company. The reason was not mentioned, but Sherry said in the message that it was probably due to the fact that Denise had posted their pics together on social media. Someone who didn’t like Caleb must have had her removed. Sherry even went on to say that it could be Mike.“Mike? He doesn’t have the time or the influence right now to do that,” Caleb said, slowly frowning. “I think I know who is behind this.”He could think of two names: Harvey Blake and Edward Grand.And he was right. It wasn’t just one of them but both of them that were behind Denise getting fired from her job.“How dare they drag an innocent woman into their bout with me?” Caleb felt very furious, especially toward Edward.But this wasn’t the right time yet.Once the Creed Tech Zone company releases the new mobile with his new OS and his new mobile app, then the whole wor

“What is this company you’re allying with?” Andy asked. “You can tell me so that I can help you. I will make sure that you won’t be fooled by any corporate company.”Caleb was a bit amazed by Andy’s shamelessness. Despite him cursing, Andy was still trying to cling to him.“I already have the backing of two people who have a lot more influence than you,” Caleb replied with a smile. “So I don’t need you. Your niece doesn’t need you, either, whether she choose to work under me or not.”Andy did not like the calm confidence in Caleb’s voice. He wanted to extract as much information as possible from him, so he showered Caleb with a lot of questions.Caleb, however, did not give him a single straight answer.Still, Andy was smiling. He shifted his attention to Denise. “You should work for Caleb. And I will also help you.”Denise could understand why her uncle was being so desperate.Joining a company, which was sure to rise, during its inception itself would do wonders for one’s career lat

Caleb was almost home.A phone call made him stop the car on the roadside.“Mr. Buckner?” Caleb was hearing it for the first time.“Yes, I’m Gary Spielman, the chairman of Ghost Dream investment company,” he said, his voice slightly emotional. “I called you because I need your help.”“My help? What can I do for you to own a multi million dollar company?”“You own a 20 percent stake in my wife’s company,” Gary said.Caleb frowned. “Since when did you know that?”“It hasn’t been long,” Gary said. “I kept it confidential, but now, some of my stakeholders are trying to bring my company down by cutting off the connection with all the companies I’ve invested in.”“Do you know who’s behind it?”“I have some information, but it’s not solid.”“So… what can I do for you?”“Because of the sudden withdrawal of the companies, some of the board members also abandoned me.”“Ghost Dream investments have become a sinking ship for them, huh. If it was a public company, the stock price would have hit the
