Jake struggled to observe a steady hard breath to control his breathing pace.

Of all the things he'd have suspected, he definitely wouldn't have known what the new COO was already planning before sending for him.

Perhaps, if for a second he had chilled out and allowed Michael Scofield to inform him of the reason for his summon, probably, he'd have gotten a stance on how to handle the threatening situation.

[Is he really guilty?]

Most of the invited Audit team had their eyeballs bulged at Jake who did everything possible to avoid eye contact by staring downwardly and forcing glimpses of smiles here and there.

Apparently, Michael didn't engage the two parties before him in any quick conversation; he took his time to observe their outlooks, demeanors, reactions, emotional countenances, and whatever in-depth he could perceive.

In less than a minute, his phone beeped, and it came from Sheraton, who winked at him after he was done reading through the text message.

“Sir… Sir, what could we h

    His words depicted a different aura from what his actions were exuding and it was crystal clear for a blind man to deduce.Michael knew John wasn't good under pressure, and the few minutes of his entrance had given him enough belief that both parties should have been accomplices in shady businesses.Jake ignorantly prayed inwardly for the new COO to buy John's last statement and not stress the conversation any further.“Wow. Lack of food makes one behave like a suspect? I never knew,” Michael sarcastically mused and sighed in his heart.Sheraton, for over two minutes, vehemently fought not to laugh out during John's blame on lack of breakfast and held her mouth warming for the chuckles yet to come.“You mean to say because you skipped breakfast, you suddenly perceive Jake as a man with no integrity even without being asked? Huh? Make that make sense to me.”As usual, Michael didn't let the sleeping dogs lie; he believed he could leverage John's clumsiness and have him spill too much.

    Sheraton Morgan, who had been deliberately standing behind Jake and John with her arms positioned in akimbo posture, decided to briskly sit somewhat beside them still stealing glances at their unhidden clumsiness.The informed words of Michael Scofield about the expected company plunged perplexity and anxiety in their countenance, with their heart entertaining, disturbing thoughts.They still haven't grasped what the new COO is fully planning on but the scent of it didn't seem like a good omen.Michael was already having a long day, but he never envisaged to behold two guilty-minded personnel to constantly humiliate themselves all in the name of appearing as the better person.Interestingly, he observed something fundamental with his time spent with both men before him— he'd have rushed to mouth out why they were summoned or unveiled his furious facial expression.Importantly, a subtle voice whispered to his gut to sit down calmly— and wear a believable mild expression, while watching

    It wasn't until sixty seconds after the fear-gripping words fell out from Michael Scofield’s mouth, that a subtle knock was perceived from the office door.He blinked at Sheraton Morgan to do the needful as he couldn't wait to see the outcome of subsequent dramas.He was done entertaining the comedy concert of his labeled two staff and it was high time they moved to the next level.She arose with a smiling aura and faced towards the door— each of her deliberate footsteps slammed John and Jake's hearts like a drumbeat.[It's Michael's world against theirs!]Their random thoughts fell into a jumbled mess as they couldn't make sense of what was looming around their necks.Michael remained calm and calculative while he watched Sheraton stretch towards the office door knob.“Good morning, you're welcome.”She chimed in with a welcoming smile and swung the door wider.“Good morning, the goddess of beauty personified. Your beauty seems renewed every single morning.”A somewhat charmy thick v

    Both guilty-minded personnel exchanged conscious eye contact and drew a deep breath in fear of what would soon befall them.Originally, Jake and John would have had words to spill to disorient the atmosphere, but Michael once allowed them to express whatever was left, and they unanimously decided not to say any further words.Little wonder, they had been unbelievably silent and would speak up only being spoken to.Morris held his two palms in respect to Michael for the opportunity and without delay unzipped his lips:“Mr. Jake is a profound thief. Not just a thief but a clever mastermind who doesn't do anything without a beneficial clause attached to it.”His first labeling words had begun, which sent an explicit message to Jake and his supposed cohort that hell had completely broken loose.He tried to maintain a calmer disposition as though Morris’ words weren't penetrating but his vibrating legs betrayed him.Michael and Sheraton could decisively decode the gripping tension in Jake'

    Jake garnered some level of growing confidence in expressing himself before he drowned without attempting to save himself.His eyes were somewhat overly widened against Morris in a staunch defense against his repeated accusations.The atmosphere abruptly went silent which gave the two men the chance to continually stare at each other with lots of sneering and sighing.Sheraton, who was preparing to blurt out a scornful laugh against Jake and John after the premeditated appearance of Morris, was shunned at the proactive response of Jake.She rotated her eyes at all the men in the office, including Michael Scofield, who maintained an approachable demeanor thus far.John's facial expression suddenly started coming alive after the epic defense from his colleague— he nudged his neck and rolled his eyelids against Morris as a smidge of confidence sprinkled on his guts.The new COO wasn't entirely surprised by Jake's proficiency in words and his quickness in propelling a defense mechanism to

    Jake, John, and the other junior staff had their eyes darting across the door in anticipation of the unexpected guest(s)They presumed the company that the new COO was referring to was just Morris, little did they know more people would be welcomed sooner.As the doorknob seemed squeezed, and the door gradually swung open— their hearts profoundly jolted in confusion, with their feet running cold.It was looking like the CEO of Afrik Industries had something cooking up underneath that they failed to realize in time.Michael Scofield smiled inwardly and codedly gave Morris a thumbs up on how the situation had been handled thus far.Sheraton, in her usual posture, had her right leg crossed, her facial expression quite welcoming while waiting for the other personnel.Within a three-second countdown, two men gently walked inside the office, all dressed in corporate attire, with one brown envelope each on their palms.Their demeanor was mild as they went further to greet Michael, Morris, an

    Michael was swift with his demanding tone, not giving Jake enough time to cook up another set of defensive mechanisms.He knew if given a few moments of introspectiveness, Jake would most likely discover a new route of escaping the prevailing circumstance.Morris and his subordinates folded their arms while stealing spiteful glares at him.“Why the efforts to destroy my image? Where did you get those ridiculous account details from?”“Boss, I know what Morris is doing right now. Please don't fall for it. Anyone could manufacture such purported files as evidence.”Despite Michael's threatening tone, Jake managed to find defensive words to keep his guard afloat.Technically, Morris presenting a mere file that had fraudulent account details wouldn't be enough to back up his heavy accusations against Jake.There was no evident connection with the alleged personnel and, hence, could be argued or declared inconsequential.Jake swiftly realized that and used that as a stance to defend himsel

    Michael, Sheraton, and Morris exchange bewildered eye contact and gradually wear back a mocking outlook.Apparently, that would be the first time they'd hear the smooth talker admit to being caught about something.Jake's indictment had been ongoing for hours, and despite Michael and Morris's audacious aura, he always had his ways with words, but that seemed to have changed with his last affirmative expression: ‘I’m Fucked!’His cohorts also exchanged gripping glances that etched profound shock and defeat— it was looking like the end of the road for them all.“Haha! You're fucked? Not yet Jake, we just got started!”“I thought you acclaimed to have been innocent and the CEO of Afrik left his daily endeavors to lay ridiculous accusations against you. Huh?”The goddess of beauty was the first person to taunt him after his last expression.Michael and others were busy laughing so hard that she had the chance to embarrass the smooth talker further.“Ohh, you've suddenly gone silent, you'r

    Michael sat in his office, scoffing as his counterattack went in place. While in his silent moment, his phone chimed. A single text message appeared on the screen.His skin tickled in the process. He beamed while unlocking his phone— he already suspected the personnel behind the message.As expected it came from an untraceable contact: “You just made a grave mistake.”Michael smirked the more and solely dropped his phone back on the table.He had gotten used to Marshall's rageful tantrums and knew he'd send in an anonymous message soon.Despite being determined to fight Michael. The act of sending warning anonymous messages has become an unpredictable act.***Michael did well by exposing three more corrupt business executives but the media publication about his thievery in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications hadn't completely died off.Two days later, Michael and Oliver King scheduled a meeting with senior staff of the company.Indistinct voices were perceived at the Kingstown Golden

    At midnight, Michael stood in the dark, his hands in his front pockets while waiting.In less than thirty seconds, footsteps echoed across as Jacob approached his direction, a thick manila folder wrapped in his hand.Jacob, his lawyer, didn't waste time at the midnight meeting.“It’s worse than we thought,” he got into words, handing over the file.“We carefully traced the leaks back to former employees; people who were loyal to Marshall. But this isn’t just about you.”Michael reactively flipped through the pages of the file. The deeper he read, the more intrigued he was to know what it was all about.“They’re surely coming after Lord Eric next,” he continued. “From all understanding Marshall and Gerald aren’t satisfied with just tarnishing your name. They want to dismantle everything Eric built.”Michael's lips laced with a scoff. “These guys never seem to amaze me”Jacob sighed before continuing. “Eric’s company is still a major player in the industry due to your significant input.

    Her words rang a chord in his head. He knew those words had once been said by someone in the past.DONG!Yes! It was from his biological father; Oliver King.A hint of his words replayed in Michael's head on how they trained him to have whatever he requested and demanded.Marshall would always frown if he had been said no to because he thought and believed no one could.Michael escaped from his thoughts and focused back on her.“Where did you get from?” He asked, trying to play the pretense card.Christine swallowed in some saliva about to divulge some information she hadn't spoken about in years.“When the Boss gave Marshall the impression he'd become the heir of the company given the fact we believed he was the only offspring of the family.”“He used to come by to supervise the daily activities of the staff and how businesses were being operated. But…”Michael knitted his forehead, willing to know what the but was for.“Speak on. I'm all ears.”He urged her to unleash the cat from t

    Michael jotted from his thoughts with his eyes squinted while staring at the lady a few distance from him.Her countenance soured with visible concerns about the challenging moments.Tarnishing content broadcasted by the media with false transactions that never really occurred.A tool of deception so carefully crafted that, if left unchecked, it would be enough to destroy him and all he had built.The price of hard work, creativity, and success was all a smooth road path. It has been a rollercoaster for Michael since he officially became the COO/CEO of three booming industries The female staff all along was Christine who walked closer after he nodded his head to entertain what she had in mind.Her glances laced with frustration— she had wished for the newly appointed CEO to have an interrupted administration but the reality was a stark contrast.“Do sit down,” he calmly asked her while heading to his designated high table at the conference office.“Sir, I would prefer standing.”She

    Michael softly smirked and tutted his lips. “A puppet CEO who supposedly embezzled millions?”He had heard the opinions of some media industries about him, and as expected, it didn't come out nicely.He didn't expect the media houses who were quick to run such headlines to have integrity and would easily be swayed to promote content that would incite controversies.The more they broadcast such notions, the more their chances of earning from public opinion expand.He remembered vividly during his trial for embezzling funds from Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise accounts. The same media expertise took it a life duty to broadcast the fabricated evidence.“Seemed so,” Claire chipped in. “It’s ridiculous that some media industries are pushing the narrative rapidly. Gosh!”Michael wasn't surprised about the rapid spread of those indicting news. Marshall wouldn't embark on such a war without having some media enterprises in his control.Hence, those designated media industries might have been i

    While Michael battled public unrest on the latest development--- a more harmful attack was looming within the company.That evening, Christine, the head of cybersecurity in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, stepped into his office, her face wrapped with concern while she breathed urgently.Behind her was Malik, the financial advisor who had worked in the company for over six years, his demeanor etched with unease.“We have a problem, Sir,” she began first, placing a file on his desk. “Hmm… A big one.”Michael calmly flipped it open. Inside were detailed financial records; his own financial records, except they were manipulated with false transactions.The numbers painted an untrustworthy picture, making it appear as if he had been funneling company funds into personal offshore accounts.When he had just got out of the fabricated transactions in Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. His foes swiftly attacked through his father's company.“They’ve been tampered with,” She continued, her vo

    Each stare from Scarlett reeked of utmost confidence. He didn't have any doubt about her trust in him.Regardless of what the headlines would say about him— Scarlett, who hadn't known him for more than four months, seemed to be a staunch believer in his belief system.Little wonder, she visited the interrogation cell during his temporary detention.“The storm will definitely arise but it won't swallow you up. They're fighting you badly because you're better in every way.”“Brace yourself! You have done a lot for humanity, you have been a good example for the present and younger generations. Your integrity and value system have set a precedent for us to adhere to.”“You're our hero! The multi-talented Herbal Fortress! The business genius! There's nothing they'd pull off that we can't withstand!”Scarlett's words were concise and filled with life.She knew exactly what to say and didn't stutter in the process.Her eyes never left Michael's while spilling those thick, famous words that w

  • Chapter 201: The Storm Breaks

    Two weeks after Marshall’s threatening text message, the looming threat that had been foreseen was finally showcased.It began subtly with whispers in the media about internal conflicts at Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.The bitter truth was Michael hadn't gotten a full grasp of the flow of activities in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.He was still unlearning and relearning how the company functioned with the aid of his father, Scarlett, but it was a different ball game with Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise because he had always been a fan of great wine.Also while working as the inventory officer at Charleston Park Shopping--- still married to Michelle. He used to request Eric Cottage Wines for sales.It was more like a walk in the park for him. Also, the undercover job he did to expose the bad eggs in the winery company helped him to understand its structure. With the assistance of Stephanie, Sheraton, Oprah Gracy, Sharon, and Cole, the sky was just a starting point.However

    Michelle drew a slow breath, glancing nervously around. “He's planning something big. I overheard him talking to some of his allied, powerful, wealthy figures before he was arrested. He's looking for leverage; a way to bring you down.”Michael’s forehead knitted in thoughts. “Why are you telling me this?”Her voice remained steady “Because I have hurt you enough," she admitted quietly. “I made mistakes, but I don't want to see you destroyed. Despite everything, I… still care in some way.”For a moment, there was silence. Michael studied her emotions, facial expression, demeanor, and attitude— searching for deception, but found none.“Thank you for the warning,” he cautiously replied. “I hope you find the path you’re looking for.”Michelle chimed in a shaky smile and turned heading out until his voice halted her tracks.“Who are these unknown allied figures? I know they have been sponsoring this battle. What do they have to gain? Who are they?”Michael's words oozed with curiosity— in
