“Nonsense! What are you sitting here saying?”

Grandpa Nike was enraged. How could Sebastian be the President of Prime Enterprise?

“That's who I saw seated on the President's seat during the meeting today. You can call Brian to confirm what I've just said.” Charles said with assurance.

“Yes Grandpa, let's call Brian. Let's ask him if what he's just told us is true.”

Grandpa Nike picked up his Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 on the table, and searched for the number of Brian. He called and Brian picked up. On the phone, he said, “Hello Brian, how was the meeting today?”

“Oh, the meeting was alright. It's just that I will have to discuss with the President again tomorrow.” Brian lied.

Grandpa Nike was already feeling that Charles had given them a false report, but still went further to ask, “That's good you know. And again, I know it's false, but was Sebastian in the meeting?”

“Sebastian? I don't understand…”

The response Brian gave was what everyone was waiting for, especially Grandpa Nike. He actually trusted Brian more than his assistant general manager.

“I know, I know so.” Grandpa Nike laughed.

After the discussion with Brain, he then hung up the phone, and with the wrinkles on his forehead increased, he looked at Charles in anger.

“Grandpa, tell us, what did Brian say?”

“I'm sure the report is not true Grandpa.”

Charles glanced at Grandpa Nike, as he saw him looking very angry. Will the truth make him this angry? Or what has Brian told him?

“You're here by suspended till further notice Charles Benz. Clear your desk and leave the company at once!”

Charles started sweating profusely. “What sir? I told you the whole truth about the meeting!”

“The whole truth?” Grandpa Nike looked at Charles fiercely. “The only truth you told us here was the percentage we were given, the rest were lies. Get out of my office now!”

And that was it. When you mingle with the devil, you tend to be deceived by the devil. Brian misled Grandpa Nike to love the lie more than the truth he heard.

Even when Brian lied, and got Charles suspended from Nike Company, it didn't change the fact that he felt really humiliated at the meeting, and vowed to make Sebatian pay dearly for it.

***

The need for salvation became urgent, as the Nike company crisis was getting worse, and almost out of hand.

The five percent apportioned to them would do the company no good, as the company's crisis needed more than that. Grandpa Nike was fuming!

All hands were on deck, as the current market report revealed that the Nike company will almost be done away with. And the only solution right now was for Juliana to accept Brian's proposal.

Romy stared at Juliana for a while, then he said calmly as soon as the thought of a solution came to his mind, “Cousin, why don't you just accept Brian's proposal, and save us from this dilemma we are in?”

Juliana ignored him after hearing what he had asked her. She had already made up her mind, and won't change it for anything. How could he ask such nonsense?

“Honey, you know he's right.” Luis went straight to her daughter. “You know that's the only solution we have now.”

Grandpa Nike certainly was not happy with the reaction of his granddaughter, he immediately took out his phone and called Brian again.

They had a lengthy conversation on the phone, no one had any idea what they were discussing about, then before hanging up, he invited Brian to the house at the weekend.

He then turned to Juliana, and said fiercely, “You'd better make up your mind and accept Brian's proposal. Divorce that useless fo*l you call your husband, or you won't believe what I'll do to you in this family!”

Juliana didn't know what else to do, her position in the family had been threatened by her grandpa, yet again, all because of Brian's proposal.

***

It was the weekend, and every member of the Nike family was present, including Sebastian.

The reason for the meeting wasn't known to Sebastian, and he didn't know why the meeting hadn't commenced already.

Finally someone came in with a very nice outfit, looking so handsome. It was Brian, he walked into the house majestically, as he was welcomed warmly by Grandpa Nike.

He sat next to Cindy, who was smiling and blushing, then he said, “Have my requests been carried out?”

Requests? What requests exactly is Brian talking about?

Everyone present, except for Grandpa Nike and Luis were curious to know what requests exactly Brian was talking about.

“Yes it has, I'll brief everyone about Brian's request.”

“Alright then, let them know.”

They all sat down curiously, even though Sebastian and Juliana had a bad feeling that something was up between Brian and grandpa Nike.”

“Brian wants Sebastian thrown out of this house, and Juliana's position at the company should be given to Cindy. In return, he's willing to give the two million dollars which will help us in the company's crisis.”

“Huh?” Juliana was stunned. This was also a way to pay Sebastian back for what he passed through during the investors meeting, but Juliana's position in the company to be given to Cindy made her shocked.

Sebastian's Mother-in-law who was always waiting for this moment, looked at the direction of Sebastian, and said coldly, “Loser, now you're going to go in there, and park your filthy things out of this house immediately.”

At that moment, Brian felt so happy that his requests were granted. Then he dipped his hand into his suit pocket, and brought out a check of two hundred million dollars. “Here you go grandpa Nike, go save your company from the crisis.”

“You're far too kind Brian, we really appreciate this.”

“Finally, a solution we seek has arrived.”

The Nike family were all praising Brian, of course except for Juliana who actually didn't feel happy on how she was dethroned.

The meeting was absolutely chaotic for Juliana and for Sebatian, but was seen as a glorious chaos for Brian.

The three of them wore outraged expressions as they sat in Prime Enterprises' spacious conference room.Frustrated, Sebastian slammed a fist down on the glass table. "This is unbelievable! We were aware of the Director General's corruption, but this? allowing criminals with serious charges like theirs to be released on bail?"Abigail folded her arms tightly and reclined in her chair. "It is disgusting. Drug trafficking, organized crime, and conspiracy are serious crimes. If they walk free, it means they wield more power than we thought."William Prime sighed deeply after reading the court's ruling quietly on his tablet. "This demonstrates one thing, the Director General is not operating alone. Someone convinced him to make the courts dance to their tune."Sebastian shakes his head. "Who might that be? Who has the power to persuade the court to ignore such serious crimes

There was nothing that would stop them from seeking answers.Clearly taken aback by their unexpected arrival, the front desk receptionist asked them to wait while she verified their meeting. They spoke briefly over the intercom, and then she pointed to two guards standing at a door further inside the structure."The Director General is expecting you," she announced nervously.The guards unlocked the doors and ushered them down a long corridor lined with pictures of former officials. Their resolve to face the man behind the questionable order echoed in every step of the seemingly endless walk. They finally came to a big oak door. After knocking twice, the guards forced it open, exposing the Dire

"Uncle William, please come to my office right away," Sebastian said in a stern and demanding tone. He hung up without waiting for a response, then dialed Abigail. "Abigail, please meet me in my office now. It is about the Nike lawsuit and the commissioner." --- In a matter of minutes, William Prime infiltrated Sebastian's office with a worried expression in place of his customary composure.

    As he tapped on the holding cell's metal bars, the officer stared at Cindy, Romy, and Senior Nike. "You might want to hear this," he said in a casual yet excited tone. Senior Nike looked up from his seat, his face tired but intrigued. Cindy and Romy looked at each other, their faces hopeful but tense."So, what is it?" Senior Nike inquired, his voice steady despite the weight of their recent ordeal.The officer was holding up a phone. “Miss Angelina's work has been going above and beyond. The application for bail has been filed. Although it is not yet complete, it is a positive step.”As the words took hold, there was a brief pause in conversation. After that, the three felt a wave of relief as though a switch had been flipped. For the first time since their arrest, Senior Nike's stern manner softened as he exhaled deeply. Romy smiled with a mix of surprise and delight, and Cindy's face brightened as she clapped her hands together."We are leaving this place," Cindy declared, her vo

    Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his jaw
