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

Don suddenly gave an awkward laugh and stood up over to the other chair and Manuel quickly sent Gavin to come along with some disinfectants. He came over and cleaned the chair much to Don’s annoyance and left.Sitting on the chair, Manuel looked at his uncle provocatively and said, “You know how much of a germaphobe I am. Now if you may, what brings you here this morning uncle?”Don replied, gritting his teeth, “Zachary came home with news that you laid him off.”Manuel leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, “Now is that so?” Leaning forward he said, “You of all people should know that he doesn’t have a place in this company and if he can’t get in through legal means then that’s his cup of tea.”Don eyes twitched repeatedly, “But he’s your cousin.”“Uncle haven’t you been sleeping well these days? You seem to possess symptoms of myokymia. It’s advisable you visit the hospital on your way home.”Don couldn’t take it any longer and stood up, slamming his palm on

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

“What’s going on here?” Emily asked with a serious tone.As soon as the receptionist saw her, she straightened up and said, “Miss Griffin, this woman requested to see the President and the order was that she had to wait and she kept making a scene.”Penelope scoffed turning to the receptionist, “You’re done for.”“Miss Griffin, these people keep on denying me access and I have some business deals to discuss with your President.”Emily sized Penelope up, “Can you not make so much noise at the company? This is a working space for many.”Penelope quickly softened her expression, “I’m sorry Miss Griffin but I’ve been held here for way too long. I doubt your President even knows someone wants to see him.”“Unfortunately for you Miss, the president does know that someone is here to see him but what he doesn’t know is that, that person turns out to be a lunatic that had no regard for etiquettes in high-profile working areas such as this. Spare yourself the stress and get lost, the President

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
