Anderson zipped the bag and was about to turn when a loud voice boomed through the room."What do you think you’re doing?!"The air tensed. Conversations halted.Anderson turned, already knowing who it was. Manager Caleb.The man stood at the entrance, arms crossed. Caleb had hated him from the very first day he set foot in this place. Whether it was because Anderson never bent to his authority or because he simply didn’t like the look of him, it didn’t matter. The feeling had always been mutual.Steven shifted uncomfortably beside him. "Here comes the devil " he muttered.Anderson remained calm, meeting Caleb’s glare without flinching. "I’m picking up my things. What does it look like I’m doing?"Caleb scoffed, stepping closer. "You think you can just walk in here, all dressed up like some tycoon, and act like you own the place?" His eyes flicked to the expensive clothes Anderson was wearing, and his lips curled in disdain. "What, you finally learn how to scam people properly?"A few

Ashley's laughter filled the air. She was clearly enjoying the attention she was getting. At the same time, a man in the suit walked briskly through the hallway, his mind focused on urgent matters. As a delegate to Raymond Baker, he had no time for distractions. However, the sight of a gathering crowd on one side of the hallway caught his attention. Normally, he would have ignored such a scene, but something compelled him to take a brief glance.He stopped on his tracks, surprised by what he was seeing.His bodyguards reacted instantly, forming a protective circle around him, their hands subtly moving toward their concealed weapons. They assumed he had sensed danger.But he pushed them away.He looked well and confirmed his suspicions.There was no mistake. It was truly Anderson Denfied.His memory flashed back to the day Anderson first arrived. He had been there when Raymond personally welcomed him. But what was he doing here, in such a situation? Without hesitation, he hurried t

The man looked at Eduardo, then glanced at Eduardo. " I'll take my leave now, we'll talk on the phone" he said and walked past Anderson without saying a word. Anderson moved closer to Eduardo. " What in the world is he doing here! Huh?! " Eduardo quietly got up from his seat and stared at Anderson in a calm manner. " Look, Anderson. Clarke is the only one I trust now. We need someone no one in the board is affiliated with. Anderson's face squeezed into that of confusion. " Do you understand the rubbish you are saying? He's a bloody criminal! He's no different from them. "" I understand your concern but he's a changed person now, he's offering to help us fish out the bad eggs in the board if we allow him back. "" What?" You plan to bring him back into the board!! " Just see what I'm trying to see here, Anderson. Let's put past grudges aside for the better good. " " He can be my personal assistant, tracking records and overseeing records with me. That way, nothing can get p

But Noelstein didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to the other board members. “Let’s end this meeting for now. Anderson and I have more to discuss—privately.”The board members shuffled out, leaving Anderson alone with Noelstein.“do you care to explain why I found these missing funds in your Megafield financial reports?” Sir Noelstein said, bringing out a folder under his table and handing it to him.Anderson opened the folder, scanning its contents. Confusion was on his face as he absorbed the numbers.Anderson was surprised This was not clearly what he expected.The reports was riddled with huge funds being moved out with no destination.It was as if it never happened and his stomach burned with the realization that this might be true. “This is fabricated.”“Fabricated?!” sir Neolstein replied. “You think I’d risk pulling my funding on rumors?”Anderson observed the files again.There was no traces of where the funds disappeared into." I have been tracking this for the past three

Nana watched him leave.She couldn't believe he was really leaving when she had a lot to tell him. "Daniela, why didn't you let him know you were coming, you could have avoided this. " Casanova asked while she walked to the fridge and placed a popcorn bowl on Diana's laps.She was surprised she still remembered it was her favourite "What do you mean? You know he won’t let me come if he knows. This is the only way I can get him." She answered and casanova chuckled."I think I have to knock some senses into his head when next I see him " she said, picking the popcorn into her mouth.Casanova smiled." Nana," she called making her look her way." Hm, "I heard you finished your medical training few weeks ago. You’re amazing, girl. The chairman kept boasting of you everywhere we went."" Haha," Nana chuckled loudly. "Thanks," she blushed.Casanova’s smile grew wider. "You’ve got brains and the chairman knows it too."She shook her head slightly, a soft laugh escaping her lips. "I’m jus

Alex smiled and rose from his seat, as if enjoying the whole scenario." I think I'll take my leave now" he said extending his hand for a handshake but since Raymond was not responding.He shrugged, and dusted his wrinkled shirt."Have a nice day, Raymond. "I’ll be expecting the contract details in my email soon." He smiled widly and walked out, as if he were walking away from a simple transaction—nothing more.They all watched the door close behind them. It was at that point the silence in the room became so obvious. The female detective among them, Kyla, couldn’t hold back her anger any longer and walked forward, facing Raymond. "What just happened?"Raymond didn’t look at her. He barely even acknowledged her presence as he swiped a hand over his computer. "The case is closed. Head back to your districts."Kyla’s face twisted in disbelief, her lips curling into a snarl. "You can’t be serious," Raymond closed his laptop and stared at her face." We are done here. Jenna, you can
