Guts and downfall
The lobby buzzed with murmurs, phones dangled in the air, shooting light on Frank's face like a popular celebrity had just shown face. Some people had tweeted it; #SonOfTheMysterousCEO#, #HiddenBillionareHeir#The Internet was literally exploding and the news was spreading fast.Staff members of the organization watched, shocked that they had been with the Son of the unknown founder of Globulex. Though, some people who knew Frank as a silver-tongued didn't believe him. But it was too expensive to be a joke.“Wow! He's really the son of the CEO?”“Heck! He's smart, how could he keep his identity hidden so perfectly!" The circus continued, each one expressing shocks and surprise and it was only fueling Frank's delusional ambition. A smug smirk tugged on his lips, his shoulder heavy, puffed out like he'd just revealed the weight he was carrying on his shoulder in secret.Sarah stood at his side, her smile wide, basking in the moment. Herself, she was surprised Frank had never revealed h
Son of the CEO
Franks accusations stung like dagger dripping with poison.“And if I check you and you have the phone, what should I... everyone here do to you.” He pointed around, his voice dropping to a quiet thunder, firing Blake a glare.Other staffs of Globulex had clustered and the Murmuring buzzed louder.“Check him! Thief are useless confidence until their ass is exposed!" A woman with a designer purse screeched.Another man twisted his face with disgust, eyeing Blake up and down with clear disgust and under– looking gaze, judging from his appearance.“He looks like a piece of rag. Who allowed him wall inside of here. Someone like this doesn't even deserve a damn seat here!" He adjusted his clean white suit with fingers that carried a silver cartier Worth millions of dollars.Grace stood at a side, a curt smile on her lips— knowing and cruel.‘You'll be disgraced.’ She said in her mind.Blake looked at her, his face tightened with a scowl but he suddenly smiled. A small smile that would make
Another accusation
Juliana's eyes were steely, burning through Sarah like iron in a volcano. She was looking directly into her soul, past the make-up on her face, beyond the deception in her eyes.She knew this tone. she'd read it. Studied psychology and this tone, the desperation, the bitter eagerness and contemptuous gaze. She wasn't new to them. Sarah was momentarily dumbfounded by her question. She'd expected her to grasp at her fabrication and hold it against Blake then rub it on his face. The she–devil being inside of her died at the moment and her lips quivered slightly like the cooling system was getting cooler, freezing her in place and making her system malfunction.Sarah's lips parted to say something but Juliana stepped forward slowly and interrupted her.“Don't—” She raised her hand mid-air.She stood in her front and Sarah was melting under her tormenting gaze. “You gave a man $100 dollars, he turned it down,” She stepped closer, her lips curled with a small smile. “And that same man pai
Sarah accusing Blake before Juliana
Blake Blinked, staring at the Juliana with uncertainty nibbling in his heart.She's just a manager but the way she speaks..it was like she owned the whole organization.Like her managerial position was only a facade. Her tone indicated a woman who had sipped from a golden cup meant for a goddess and powerful men and as though she was used to speaking about billions.Julianne didn't say another word. She simply grabbed the office telephone. She didn't ask. Didn't request. It was a direct instruction.“Postpone the interview. Next 30 minutes. I'm in an urgent meeting.” She said and dropped the phone.Blake stared at her, wondering what she was trying to prove. This woman was putting her career at risk because of what?Blake clutched his file tight and his voice came next, low but firm.“Ms.Julianne,” He started, “First I shouldn't be in this room with you and I only helped you. You don't need to impress me to show gratification. You're just a manager here. You're putting your duty here
Who is Juliana?
The papers were still scattered all over the floor. Blake turned and standing right Behind him was...it was Juliana. The lady from the clothing store who had once looked down on him but he regardless paid for her suit.She held a cup of coffee, the steam curling lazily in her hand. Blake was surprised to see her. He squinted, a small frown between his brows as his brain worked to remember her name but he remembered she didn't tell him her name.The securities bowed deeply to Juliana, the respect unmistakable like she was their boss but she held up her hand is dismissal, glaring at them for the act of unprofessionalism she'd just witnessed.“And is this how you treat clients here?" She began, her voice cold and scolding.One of the securities stepped forward, glanced in Blake's direction with utter distaste. “Ms. Juliana. This man here is not a cl—”Juliana's frown deepened. “And you know a potential client by merely seeing one?” She scoffed. "I see you two are getting tired of your
Bite the bullet
Blake adjusted his tie for the third time that morning, tugged on the hem of his suit, the one that was soaked under the rain the other night. Priscy had washed it, ironed it but it still looked withered like it'd long lost its colour.But he reminded himself like always. It isn't about the look. It's about potentials. He stared at his reflection, his eyes swollen from sleepless night, brainstorming and pitching. He'd printed proposals during the day. The system had tiered the mission as easy but it felt heavy. But he has to prove a point to everyone who had looked down on him— that he's not worthless.He needed to show Jemina that truly, she was right— That her husband isn't useless, that the hidden potential she'd seen in him when no one did had surfaced. And the Walters family, they'd marvel at his win but yet beneath those heartwarming thoughts is a gnawing doubt.What if i fail? No,He quickly shook the thought off. There is no time for failure. No time for setbacks. He has to
