The next day, Amber and Neal left for Comix Verts together.“Just take the straight lane, then you turn to your left,” Neal said as he directed Amber.“Alright," Amber said. “The new name is really nice, Neal. It's catchy and it sparks a lot of interest.”Neal smiled. “That was the goal." A while later, Amber parked before the company's building. She slowly nodded as she glanced at the buildings. “Not bad,” she muttered. "For a bankrupt company, it looks like it has some pretty sturdy assets."Neal nodded. “That's what I thought too. If only Jude had been less greedy, the business would still be in its glorious days,” he said as he got out of the car.“Yes,” Amber agreed. “Though this building will need some renovations.”“Yes, I already got some assets delivered. I'll check them out before we leave. The renovations will come later.”Amber nodded, thinking how smart it was for Neal to have thought it all out. He really didn't need her help. Neal and Amber walked into the company. T

When Vanessa saw Neal the next day, she pondered whether or not to ask Neal where he'd rushed to the previous day. Eventually, she decided against it. She now understood that Neal preferred to keep his affairs private. As a friend, she should leave him if he doesn't want to share some information. There was no need to make it hard for him by always asking questions.While they had lunch, Vanessa told Neal about the updated recipe that her chef had just made. “Oh my,” she tilted her head back, “It was heavenly. You needed to have tasted it.”Neal sent a playful glare her way. “What is this, Vanessa? Are you here to taunt me?”Vanessa shrugged as she fought a giggle. “It's left to you, my friend.”Neal hummed as he chewed the food in his mouth. He swallowed. "I see. With our visual descriptions, your plan is to make my mouth water for a meal I might never have, yes?”Vanessa couldn't hold back her laugh this time. She raised her two hands above her head. “That was never my intention,”

Neal eventually shrugged off the worrying thoughts that nagged him after the phone call with Yvonne. He focused on the company's profile in front of him.A while later, he heard a knock on the door. “Come in,” he answered with his attention still on the document.The manager stepped in, his tablet in his hand. He quietly closed the door behind him.“Well done, sir,” he bowed. I just thought I would come to check if you need anything.”Neal glanced at the intercom on his right on the desk. He returned his gaze to the manager. “If I need you I'll call you.”“Okay sir,” the manager said. The manager was about to pull the door open when Neal said, “Five people were fired, right?”The manager turned back and quickly nodded, “Yes, sir.”Neal nodded. “Send out a vacancy notice so that we can recruit new employees to fill the vacant positions. And you need to do so fast because when work begins, whoever is staying there would need to go back to their posts and get their own job done.”“Alri

One of the remaining workers of the Soiree hurried inside and whispered, “The CEO is here,” multiple times before she hurried to her own cubicle.Neal was met with absolute silence as he stepped into the reception area. Everyone had quieted down at Neal's wake.Neal briefly took note of the new faces in the reception area as he walked past. Gone were the faces of the gossipers and mannerless employees.“Welcome back, sir," some of them greeted enthusiastically, while some pretended to be hyper-focused on their work.Neal was climbing up the stairs when another employee was climbing down. The employee immediately hurried back to the top of the stairs and stepped aside for Neal.“Welcome sir," the employee greeted, his head lowered into a deep bow.Neal merely nodded as he made his way up the stairway.In the hallway where the elevator was located, some of the employees walked through, headed to different locations. Once they saw Neal, they stopped walking and greeted him. All the empl

Though the loss of a contract with the Waterfall Corporation was not something to be happy about, Lisa had her hopes up as she walked into the premises of the Pious Groups.Lisa ignored the receptionist who greeted her. Instead, she made a beeline for the manager's office.The manager suppressed a groan when he looked up to see who had barged into his office, without even a knock. The woman's presence had always spelled trouble, but he had no choice but to give her due respect. He forced a smile as he sat up. “Mrs Ben, good day, ma'am.”Lisa offered the manager a cold smile. “Good day to you too,” she placed her bag on the table and she took a seat. Then, she leaned forward in the seat, her hands on the table.“So I hear that our company has lost the contract with the Waterfall Corporation,” she said. "When did that happen?" Lisa was simply fishing for more evidence. She wanted something concrete before she put her plan into action. She had initially planned to call an impromptu f

The manager looked up from the contract document and faced the workers with a thunderous expression.Some of them were still sneering and throwing insulting words at Neal.“Do you know who you’re speaking to?” He yelled in their faces.The workers stepped back, taken aback by the sudden outburst of the boss.“How dare you be so disrespectful? How dare you treat him with such disregard?” The manager reprimanded.The workers all quieted down. They looked at one another as they wondered what was happening.They listened, their eyes lowered, as the manager scolded them. They didn't understand what was happening.It didn't make sense to them why he was yelling at them because of the random man who'd just walked in to see the manager without any form of introduction.“Why is he yelling because of him?” One of the workers dared to whisper to her colleague closest to her when the manager looked away from them.“Just shut up," the colleague said, not wanting to incur the fury of their angry bos
