"But...""You don't have to worry about that, just go ahead to sign it," Ethan forced a smile, feeling rather pressured.He really wanted to end the call. There were still quite a lot of things to do, but then he had to deal with this lady first."Alright then," Vanessa responded."I'll call the truck drivers and tell them to come over," she added."That's great, I'll send the address right now," Ethan was a bit relieved and ended the call.After the call ended, Ethan sighed and quickly sent the address to Vanessa."Go get some other things done first; I'll think about the issues of the truck later," Ethan waved his hand, dismissing William and Derek.Nodding, the two turned around and left. Though they didn't know Ethan's plan, they could tell he was trustworthy."Gabriel, inform me immediately if those thugs come over," Ethan instructed, looking at the gateman who nodded firmly.With everything in place, he set to the powerhouse to meet Julius who was still working on the generator.

Vanessa wasn't sure she should call that night. It was 10 pm already. But she wanted to inform him that she had received the contract and wanted to be sure if he was really positive about the shares.To her, Ethan looked like a smart businessman and knew what he was doing, still she just wanted to be sure. But hearing that Ethan needed her help, she was willing even without knowing what it was for. “How may I help, Mr. Ethan?" Vanessa asked. " I need to hire some trucks and your drivers as well.” Ethan answered. Vanessa's eyes twinkled. For quite a while now, she hasn't received any business deal with any company. Hearing that Ethan needed her services, this brought so much joy to her heart. " Sure. Sure, sir.” Vanessa replied. Ethan raised a brow, " You didn't ask when I needed them.” Vanessa blushed in embarrassment. " When do you need it, sir?”" Tonight.” Ethan replied quickly with a straight face. “Tonight?" Ethan could hear the panic in her voice but Vanessa tried to hide

“Huh?" Ethan paused and stared at the gateman who rubbed the back of his neck. He stood a bit farther away from Ethan. “Sir… the area isn't very safe." This got Ethan's attention. He fully turned to meet the nervous gaze of the gateman. “Why did you say that?" Ethan asked. He was concerned because he knew they would spend all night at the company packaging and sending deliveries. “There are thugs in this part of the city, sir." The gateman replied, “That is why we close by 4 pm daily. I cannot secure the employees and the properties here when they come." This put Ethan in deep thought. He wondered if the thugs were the ones who had stolen the parts from the generator and not the general manager or the manager. “Did the former leadership know about this?" Ethan asked the gateman, who nodded in response. “Yes, sir." He responded, “After the security men quit, the gateman discussed this with the former manager. His reply was that there were no funds to pay any security p

After dinner, the employees and Ethan walked back out of the restaurant and towards the company. At the gate stood two men, waiting. Ethan also invited the company's gateman for dinner and asked that the company be locked in the main time. When the man saw the two men by the gate, he rushed over.“What are you here for?" The gate man asked, “We have closed for the day." “Are you the boss?" One of the men, dressed in overalls, asked. The gateman frowned at his question. He was about to reply when Ethan called out, "Julius.” The man in overall grinned and walked towards Ethan, “Ethan." They shook hands.The employees stopped and watched Ethan and Julius speak. Julius introduced the man beside him as a good engineer and can fix almost anything. Ethan turned to one employee and instructed," Show him the trucks at the back.” The employee led the man away with his toolbox. While the two men were leaving, the other employees followed. Ethan had given them roles to play, they went w

Once everyone was out of the compound, the place fell silent. Ethan finally turned to the dazed employees. First, the angry crowd listened to Ethan and left. Earlier this morning, one of them had stepped out to calm the crowd, but they threw rotten fruits at him. He had rushed back inside the building, and that was why they locked themselves in for hours. Ethan said a few words, and they agreed. But those few words were heavy, coming with promises. Twenty-four-hour timeline. “Sir, how do we accomplish this in twenty-four hours?" A young woman named Helen asked. Even if they were to work all night, they were restricted by a lot of things, including distance and workers. Now, this was a concern for all the employees as they looked at Ethan. Ethan stepped down from the entrance of the building and said with a very serious tone," First of all, we eat.”" Huh?”" Eat?” Gladdy asked with raised brows. Ethan nodded, " Yes. Eat. Have you all eaten today?” They shook their head slowly

The place was silent for more than a minute. Then, one of the employees fell to her knees," Boss, don't fire me, please. I have been dedicated and faithful to this company.”" Yes.” Another went on his knees, "All the blame goes to the manager and the general manager. They were the ones who embezzled money. Please, sir. It is not easy to get a job here in City D.”A woman in her forties also went on her knees, " Please, I have three kids at home. This is where I get money to feed and clothe them.”Soon, everyone was on their knees. Ethan frowned. He wasn't here to fire them. In fact, after everything was settled, he planned to reward them. Not only did they try to handle the situation, but they also remained faithful to the company. He would not pay them back with sack letters, never. These were the kind of employees a rising company needs by their side. Faithful workers. " Who says anything about firing?” Ethan asked with a smirk. The employees' eyes widened in shock. “Sir?
