The Unexpected Card
Suddenly, Romeo’s arrogance faded, his eyes laced with shock.“What is that, Romeo?” Pearl pointed at the screen of Brian’s phone, as though she couldn’t see the image there.“There is more…” Brian broke his silence, a wry smile on his face.Then he swiped twice, revealing more pictures. He had unleashed a card that Romeo had never thought he wielded, leaving the man speechless. Romeo began to sweat profusely, feeling the wet beads that streamed down his body. The hotness inside him made him uneasy, and he was forced to grab his collar with both hands.He swallowed hard to deal with the cringe that engulfed him, his eyes gradually moving inside. “Is that you, Romeo? Tell me that’s not you!” Pearl’s finger was still pointed at the screen while she turned to face Romeo. “I am talking to you, Romeo! That’s not you, right?! He must have manipulated AI to get those images…”Brian scoffed, drawing Pearl’s attention.“Is this AI too?” He revealed something else; a video for a
The Anonymous Worker
Pearl and Romeo turned to each other, then they sighed and nodded.They believed that they had made a juicy offer, returning their gazes slowly to Brian.Then they waited for him to nod, but their expressions collapsed when they saw the smirk on his face.“Say something, Brian. You will take the money, right?” Pearl questioned, her voice dragged down by the tension inside her. She almost took a step forward while waiting desperately for a response. Brian cleared his throat, and while his smirk was still intact, he turned to Romeo and sniggered. “How much do you think is worth paying for you to hide the truth from everyone?” “I…” Romeo stuttered, his hand reaching to grab his collar once again. “I don’t know, Brian. You tell me…” “Hmm…” Brian nodded, a pleasant look spreading across his face. He had Romeo exactly where he wanted him; at his mercy. “We are talking about murder here, Romeo. Imagine what the headlines will read when everyone gets to find out what you ha
Bribery Could Work
“I didn’t know you were going to catch that really early, Romeo. That makes this even easier for us…” “Why then are you telling him this, Brian? Do you want him to prostrate at your feet and thank you or what?” Pearl asked, anger brewing inside him.She couldn’t hide the resentment that she had for Brian, allowing it to flash in her eyes while she kept on rolling her eyes at him. Brian scoffed, then he took a deep breath.“You are always very quick to speak, Pearl. I wonder how your employees keep up with you at work.” Pearl tutted, then she looked away and hissed. She searched and searched, but it didn’t seem like there was anything else she could say to Brian. So she chose to remain silent, speaking through her angry flashing eyes. “Why are you telling me all of this, Brian?” Romeo broke the silence, almost in a hurry to receive an answer. “Quite simple…” Brian responded, refusing to get rid of his smile. “I am sure you still remember that you had agreed to give th
Heated and Growing
Romeo looked away, choosing silence at that moment.But Pearl seemed like she was in the mood for some argument, getting herself prepared to slam him with her words. “You left out an important detail of your life from me, and then you call me selfish. Really, Romeo?! That’s how you see me!” Romeo grunted, his veins popping as he balled his left fist.He took a deep breath, attempting to get a grip on himself while he looked Pearl in the eyes. “Can we not do this right now, Pearl? In front of him…” He whispered, discreetly pointing at Brian.Pearl turned to take a glance at her ex-husband, then she grumbled inaudibly, returning her gaze to Romeo.“You owe me an explanation, and a treat for this…” She demanded, eyes flashing with annoyance.Romeo nodded, and as he turned to face Brian, he wiped the extra sweat on his forehead. He couldn’t get enough of them, so he decided to check his pocket for anything. He found none, grunting in frustration. When he returned his gaze
Road Narrative
Brian whistled a familiar tune while he shut the door to his apartment.But barely two minutes after he had gotten in, his phone rang. “Who could that be?” His thought was that Pearl was the one calling, but when he saw the name on the screen, he took a deep breath. Then he answered, pressing the device against his left ear. “Hello, Brian! Where are you?” Arya’s voice rang with so much excitement, her question causing Brian to remain silent. “Hello? Are you there?”“Yes. Yes, I am here.” Brian took a deep breath, then he began to think of the possible reasons why she was asking where he was.“I am at your office, but I didn’t see you. Today is Monday. What kind of CEO doesn’t go to work on the first day of the week?”Brian cleared his throat, and a sudden but subtle feeling of urgency flooded inside him.“Erm…” He realized he lacked a suitable explanation, scanning through his mind. “I had an emergency, Arya. But I will soon be on my way to work. I am sorry, I didn’t ev
Back as CEO
Brian looked at himself for a while, then it finally occurred to him that the driver had not mistaken his appearance.There was absolutely nothing about him that suggested that he was the CEO of a company. First, he was making use of a taxi, and secondly, he was empty-handed, more like he was just going for the sake of going. “I work there…” He said to the driver, forcing a smile.“Yes, Sir. I work in SilverLine…” “Oh…” A slight disbelief flashed on the driver’s face, and he had to turn to get a better view of Brian. “You certainly do not seem like someone working in a Tech company, son. You must have gotten the job recently.”“Exactly, sir. Today is my first day at work.” Brian nodded with a smile, staring narrowly at the driver. “I thought as much…” The driver cleared his throat, then he slowly returned his eyes to the road. “Well. Good luck, son. I hope you get paid enough to buy a car soon. Jumping into taxis is really not suitable for a fine young man like you.”B
Yet Another Manager
Dara gasped, her expression brandished with bemusement.Even Brian was shocked, turning to look at the so-called Manager. “I am sorry, Sir. I was only trying to be sure of who to expect. I don’t even know the name of this investor you speak of.”Dara was very calm and polite with her explanation, her voice low but steady.When she saw the Manager flashing an angry gaze at her, she slowly looked away. Victor Sullivan- 32 years of age, handsome, and with an imposing stature. His brown orbs glittered with annoyance, then he drew closer to the desk, gnashing his teeth even when he no longer moved his feet. “You are a nobody, Dara. The only thing you are supposed to do is take instructions and ask fewer questions. You are lucky the CEO requested we make major changes in the staff. Winnie seemed smarter and more docile than you…”“That’s no way to talk to a lady, Mr. Sullivan.” Brian couldn’t hold it any longer, expressing his displeasure over Victor’s demeanor.The Manager tur
Another Allegation
“Does it look like I care about your stupid identity?” Victor fired, his finger pointed in disdain. “I need you to leave this building before it’s too late. This company is now under new management, and I don’t want the CEO thinking we let lunatics come into this place as it pleases them.” Brian chuckled softly, yet his annoyance was deeply laced in his tone. “I see…” He muttered, still staring the Manager in the eyes. “What’s funny?!” Victor slammed at him with his eyes, then he turned to face Dara.“Why is he laughing?! Did I crack a joke or something?!”Dara slowly shuddered, her eyes nervously saying the words- I don’t know. She took a deep breath, then she slowly looked away. “You are so useless, Dara! What are you even doing seated there and staring at that computer screen?! Go make me some coffee and take it to my office!” Dara made a swift move to leave her desk, then suddenly stopped, reacting to the thought that had crept into her mind. “I am sorry, Mr. Su
The Fair Lady
“Hi. You must be Sarah Hopkins…” he stepped forward with his right hand outstretched toward the damsel in cooperate wears. The guards were on alert when they saw his hand moving toward their boss, but they remained calm when they ascertained that he looked harmless.Sarah turned to Brian, staring at his face particularly.“Yes…” She muttered, drifted away for a moment. “That’s exactly who I was talking about…” She shook hands with Brian, then she refused to let go.Victor glared at Brian, his eyes burning with annoyance.He turned to Sarah and cleared his throat, causing her to get a grip on herself.She slowly let go of Brian, but not without giving him a coy smile.“And you are?”“No one of interest!” Victor answered before Brian could get the chance to speak, then he moved forward and brushed him aside.“I don’t think you should be talking to this man, Miss Hopkins. I am going to be the one having the meeting with you. Just me and no one else…” He chuckled softly, then
Unknown Fellow
Sarah tried to remain still, but the warning was too intense for her to ignore. “What are you talking about?” She asked, staring widely at Victor who was already standing between her and Brian.“I will tell you…” Victor was still breathing heavily, turning to Brian with resentment. “The name of our new CEO who just bought back the company is Brian Regal…” “Okay?” Sarah nodded, almost unable to get what the Manager was trying to explain.“Oh!” She took a deep breath, turning to look at Brian.“So you think he is claiming to be the new CEO, Mr. Sullivan?”“Exactly!” Victor nodded, snorting as soon as he turned to Brian. “We should get him locked up while I call my boss to investigate this. I am sure he was trying to come here to steal. Probably here on a mission as a spy…” He lifted his phone once again to his face, ready to place a call.“But I am your boss. Dummy.” Brian remarked, grunting in annoyance.“How can you be so clueless, Victor?”Victor paused, his eyes stari
