Chapter 85
“Henry, I want to appreciate what you did for my family. You are such a generous man. I thought I wasn’t going to be inside.”Henry nodded with a smile, he waved his hand frantically. “It’s nothing,”“Ladies and gentlemen,” Sandra said, warmly smiling as she adjusted the microphone the moment she took to the stage, the guest’s eyes occasionally flicked towards the stage.The hum of conversation settled into a hush, the lights dimmed slightly as all eyes turned to the stage.“It’s my honour to welcome you once again to the blue beam construction 43rd anniversary celebration.” She began, “Today, we celebrate not just the passing of time, but the legacy, innovation and determination that has defined this company over the last decades.”A light applause followed, murmurs rippled through the crowd, and they nodded slowly.Many had their eyes on the stage, hoping to find the chairman.She continued after a slight pause, “Today marks incredible milestones, a year of building dreams, structu
Chapter 84 - I Know Who I Saw
Jeremy’s fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, he pulled up the feed from the hallway camera stationed outside the vice chairman’s office.“There,” Emily said, but her eyes were wide in disbelief when what she saw was different. She leaned forward squinting. Everything felt strange at that moment.The man who emerged from the vice chairman’s office was Mark Spencer; the camera caught him clearly leaving and turning left just like Asher did.Emily’s breath hitched, as her mind raced.“Is that who you saw?” Sandra asked with her brow raised higher than the other.“No..no. I know who I saw.” She shook her head slowly.Jeremy had to zoom in slowly, “That’s Mr Mark; we all know he walks into the vice chairman’s office regularly. This is no big deal.”“He didn’t even look like him, I know who I saw. It was my ex-husband, Asher,” she said with her voice barely above a whisper.“Your what?” Sandra asked.Emily exhaled softly, she asked Jeremy to go back again. This time, insisting that he
Chapter 83- Ex-husband could be the chairman
“That can’t be possible, Henry. Those guards are following my instructions, whoever’s name is not on the list isn’t expected to be in the hall, that’s for security reasons.” Sandra responded. “And for your guests, what are their names?” “Deborah and Jackson Douglas.” He hurriedly replied. “I am sorry, but those two can’t get in. It’s an order from the chairman.” Sandra informed.“The chairman, what have they done?” He asked,His face turned pale; he might not know who the chairman was, but he was definitely sure the chairman had a reason. “what could they have done? Could they have offended the chairman? Is the chairman in the building?” He thought. “They offended the chairman, and he warned me to keep them out of the hall,” Sandra said.Henry exhaled softly, “Can I talk with the chairman, I need to apologize on their behalf. Those people are like family to me. You can still help me pull some string, Sandra.” “I wish I could, but for now the chairman is unavailable. But I will
Chapter 82 - Neither names are on the list
“We weren’t; I showed the guy the Invitation, and he scanned it and said it came up invalid.” Mrs. Deborah said, her face turned red in pain and humiliation. “Emily, this is unfair. I was humiliated, people were looking at us like we were trying to sneak into the event we weren’t invited to. I even saw Asher, he was granted access because he held a VIP invitation.”She continued, “How did he get that when he doesn’t work here? You didn’t get me a VIP invitation; you should have seen his face when he entered; he mocked us like we were nobody.” “Mrs. Deborah, everything will be fine. I will sought things out.” Henry assured.Emily frowned, glancing towards the guards at the entrance. Without hesitation, she walked towards them.“Why are they not allowed inside? They are with me, I need an explanation. I personally gave them the invitations, they should have been on the list.”One of the guards pulled out the tablet, tapped quickly and glanced at them. He recalled their names, “Deborah
Chapter 81 -Not You But Him
“That’s the truth, Asher. You’re nothing but a stranger in this world,” she muttered with contempt.Asher chuckled and maintained his smug expression. “You know you should be grateful for being here; it wouldn’t have been possible without me.” “Braggart, What else will you say after now.” She sneered. “If there is anyone I should be thankful to for helping me, it’s Henry Marcus and not you. “She spat, as her expression turned cold. “ Take a look at me, Asher. Even without Henry’s help, my credentials were good, and I would have still gotten the job.”Spotting the two together, Henry felt a surge of jealousy and anger burning inside him. So he ambled towards Emily. “Dear, what’s going on,” Henry asked as he shot Asher a cold stare.“Just some ex-husband claiming to help pull the string for me to be here.” She replied not taking her eyes away from Asher.“How dare you,” Henry spat out. “I called Sandra to help her secure the job and not you. Who the hell are you to say that? Do you
Chapter 80 - Bragging again
“Is his name on the list?” He asked, pretending not to know. “Yes, boss.” The guard nodded. “Then let him inside.” Mark Spencer commanded. He knew Asher’s name was on the list but wanted to act alone. Seeing the scene, the people gasped, as they couldn’t help but wonder who Asher was and how he got the VIP invitation. Mrs. Deborah stepped forward, “Mr. Mark.” She called out with a smile. “My son and I got invited by my daughter, Emily. But have been refused access to the building.” She showed her invitations. Mark furrowed his brow; the guards didn’t hesitate as he spoke. “Boss, her name wasn’t written on the list.” “You heard him; you should call whoever gave you the invitation,” Mark informed her. “Mr. Mark, there is someone you shouldn’t allow inside; his presence alone can ruin an entire atmosphere.” She turned to Asher. “I know him, you should contact the authorities. He might have fraud someone to get the invitation.” Mark, without being told, knew who she was r
