Manuel made his way to the company very early in the morning to sort out the rest of the documents waiting for him there. Since he became in charge of the whole company, there had been so much work to do as his mud headed cousin didn’t seem to do anything right.But as soon as he got to the reception, he saw someone that he had least expected to come across and made to avoid her but unfortunately for him, Penelope had already seen him before he made his way to the elevator. She didn’t even give him the chance to escape as she shouted his name sounding a bit unsure, “Manuel, what are you doing here?”Manuel turned around with a calm expression, “And who says I can’t be here?”Penelope crossed her arms against her breasts with her eyebrows cocked up, “Don’t tell me you’ve come here looking for a job. You aren’t even worthy to work here as a cleaner.”“And who decided that?” Manuel also raised an eyebrow as if to challenge her.“Oh come on, look around you. Even if you got yourself somet

Beckoning to Gavin, he handed Manuel some a document consisting of some papers which Manuel flung in Zachary’s direction. Giving Manuel a stern look, he picked up the documents, his pupils dilated as his eyes widened at what he saw.Manuel walked over to the back of Zach’s chair and held the armrests leaning domineeringly over him, “You know Zach, sometimes you should learn to keep out of other people’s business. I could’ve laid you off without you embarrassing yourself in the presence of the board members.”Other board members reached out to collect the document and passed it amongst themselves. They heard that Zachary was no longer the CEO but no one knew he was completely laid off the company and the president?!Now that was news. The document they held was that which Don and Manuel signed transferring all the company shares that Don owned to him including Zachary’s. Only the President has the final say on who becomes the CEO but now the new President is also the CEO. Not that it h

At the mention of Brandon Walker, everybody present drew in a cold breath. Who was Brandon?He was a famous person in Colburn and the owner of this prestigious bar. A lot of people wanted to curry favor with him, but they were unable to do so. That man, Henry was able to ask him to show up even when he’s mostly scarce in his own diner. Henry was indeed quite an influential and powerful man.“You really don’t want me to see the sunrise tomorrow? Very well.” Manuel smiled, “I’m indeed curious on to how you will execute that. Look at you still whiling away your investments on women while your family’s company is slowly crumbling…”Someone burst into laughter. “Is he out of his mind? Mr. Sullivan is a rich youth and a smart one at that. How could his company be losing it and he still has a lot to spend? You must be hallucinating.”“Oh! I knew this guy what somewhat familiar. Heard he was the live-in son-in-law to the Sullivans before they kicked him to the curb for his incompetence. He mu

Penelope rushes in her brother’s room screaming and throwing a tantrum. “You useless brother of mine! Who did you offend?! We can barely keep our heads above water but now, you’re threatening to drown us.”On hearing the commotion, Mary rushes out of her room. Henry clearly still in pain and bruises and slightly hung over from last night events stood up groggily and yelled back at Penelope, “Shut up!! I didn’t do anything.”Mary Sullivan quickly stood in front of her precious son trying to appease Penelope, “He said he didn’t do it. Cut your brother some slack, okay?”Penelope laughed on hearing what her mother just said. “Henry, do you think I’m a fool?? You went partying and overnight our stock prices plummeted. Harry isn’t even picking my calls and yet I’m struggling to keep the company afloat with you still squandering money on the most useless things.” Mary knew that was obviously a serious matter, if not how else would she get the designer bags to boast of in her clique?“I’ll t

Who hasn’t heard of Gavin?Everyone involved in business knew Gavin. It was said that, Gavin once worked by the side of the person who ruled the business world and belonged to the Rodriguez Enterprises and that person was said to be the President’s heir. Gavin worked by the side of the person that dominated the business world, who earned the nickname, Shadow Broker. The Shadow Broker was a very mysterious person and so no one had an idea of how he looked like only that he operated through Gavin until four years ago, no one heard of him again but his reputation was still widely known giving Gavin authority in the business world.It skipped Gavin’s mind to inform the car dealers about Manuel’s visit. Even though his boss didn’t order him to do that, he knew that people will try to override him and he didn’t want that to happen and so as soon as he remembered, he put a call to the car brand that Manuel was most likely to go to.Returning back to them, his girlfriend noticed his nervousne
