UNEXPECTED TROUBLE.
CHAPTER 22: UNEXPECTED TROUBLE.Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, Jessica is getting ready for the meeting with the potential buyers of her company. She just finished taking a shower. As she combed her hair, her mind journeyed far. Although she faced the mirror, it wasn't her image that was before her. The angry faces of the miners were all she could see. Their angry voices re-echoed in her head.She couldn't even address the workers. She didn't have the balls to do so. What was she going to say even? She wasn't the one who decided to shortchange them, depriving them of what's theirs. As she drove out, the workers stood in her way, chanting and ranting what they had been chanting all the while they were there. Some of them angrily slammed their hands against her car. Another who stood in front threw his lemonade at her windshield, causing her to cringe and duck. She had the same reaction as she sat before her mirror, unconsciously ducking in fright. Jessica quickly realized
THE HARSH REALITY.
CHAPTER 21: THE HARSH REALITY.All morning, Jessica was home. She decided not to go anywhere. She was exhausted - It had been an eventful evening the previous day as a result of the incident with Samantha's husband. She needed some rest. Michael, on the other hand, had headed out about an hour before this time, leaving Jessica all alone at her penthouse.She binged a romcom after she woke up, barely sleeping for up to three hours. Her mind was not at rest. Ergo the reason she had to distract herself with the marathon episodes of the romcom. Sighing frustratedly, Jessica tossed aside the TV's remote control and got up. She headed to her room and got dressed. She couldn't sit at home. She needed to go to her company. She took the elevator down, got into her car, and drove off. It was already 2:30 pm. About twenty minutes later, she arrived at the company. But she met a sight that caused her to furrow her brow, looking a bit perplexed. "What the hell's going on?" she asked herself a
THE PUNISHER.
CHAPTER 20: THE PUNISHER."M- Mr Rosker. I- I didn't know. Please, forgive my misbehavior. I had no idea that uh... That you uh..." Anthony's voice trailed off. He was jittery, gulping, unable to even look at Jack directly anymore.Jack just stared at him, making no visible reaction whatsoever. "Uh, what's going on?" Mr Vanhopsin asked, furrowing his brow as his eyes darted from Jack to Anthony. "Why don't you go ahead and bring Mr Vanhopsin up to speed, Anthony?" Jack threw the question at him, still staring at him blankly.Anthony says nothing at first and is hesitant. His sweating spell increased as he got even more nervous. "Do I have to beg for an explanation, Anthony? What the hell's going on?" Mr Vanhopsin asked frustratedly, in an angry tone. "I- I uh, spoke to Mr Rosker out of term, un- unaware of who he actually was," he said in shame."What do you mean by that?" Mr Vanhopsin inquired, looking a bit confused as it wasn't yet clear to him."He knocked down Mr Rosker's mea
GETTING HIS DUE.
CHAPTER 19: GETTING HIS DUE.Jack looked to the side as he contemplated calling out to him. He felt a strong urge to do what his mind suggested - ridicule him. But he refrained, shoving aside the thought. He wasn't going to bring himself that low. But suddenly, he heard a clattering sound accompanied by a gasp from up ahead, drawing his attention. "I am truly sorry, sir. I'm-""You dumb bitch!" the man yelled, then he slapped the waitress as she tried apologizing. "You spilled food all over me! Do you know how much this suit costs? Your entire salary in half a year cannot afford to buy this." The host quickly rushed over. "I am truly sorry for the mishap, sir. We'd be more than happy to have you suit properly cleaned up.""And let your filthy hands touch this?" the man retorted, wearing an irked look. The waitress lifted her head and cracked up a mild smile. "I'm sorry, sir. But you're the one who bumped into me, even after I gave way for you to pass.""You're supposed to get out
ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE.
CHAPTER 18: ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE.Everyone, aside from Jack, was in shock at Jack's proclamation. They all had varying reasons for the shock they expressed. "But, sir. Am- Am I not the Head-""You're the Head of nothing!" Jack retorted, interrupting Javier as he raised his voice, looking furious. Javier's heart raced. "Such nuisance has gone on for far too long, and I will not put up with such. Everyone who has profited fraudulently by virtue of their privileged position in this organization is going to face the consequences. No one, and I mean no one, will escape my wrath!" Jack snarled.Javier couldn't look Jack in the face as Jack glared at him. He was terrified. "The four of you, get up and get the hell out of my office, and clear your desks immediately!" Jack instructed all of them who knelt down. "Please, sir. I had no choice. Javier made me do it," one of the men who knelt said crawling forward on his knees."Yes. We didn't have a choice, Mr Rosker. We were afraid. Ple
MORE CHANGES.
CHAPTER 17: MORE CHANGES.Jack's meeting with the Managing Director of Xelia Concept was a really engaging and rewarding experience. Xelia Concept had gone beyond just being a gaming company and was also now developing apps. And Jack's meeting with them was about developing an improved app for Rosker Air, a world-class airline owned by the Rosker Group. The Rosker Group was looking at improving the services of their airline while passengers were onboard a flight, making accessibility to services by passengers easy from the comfort of their seats, without air-hosts or air-hostesses moving around to ask what the passengers needed. With a few clicks, they could make their requests and get them delivered. By the end of the meeting, the feasibility of developing something befitting for Rosker Air was foreseeable. Jack was thoroughly pleased with the outcome of the meeting. He sat down and went over all that was discussed, and had them related to his father, updating him on the progres
