I've called you to explain that you future wife contract with the Blake has been handled smoothly." "Anything else?" "Anything else, are you some damn *ss. Why the heck did you even bother calling Lawyer Jack to handle something so simple? I mean, she only needed to pay the termination fee and they didn't even bother saying a thing. What's the point of having the man there as well?""Some b ack up." He replied. Before he had his divorce with Jessica, he had already made sure he'd be a few step ahead of everyone.

Joe Black requested that Jessica act friendly despite what happened in the past as he needed to gain some connection with the family for a certain project. As soon as Jessica found out the real reason, she explained excitedly to her family, which brought a smile on their faces. "Why didn't he say so? For money, I'm willing to even dance as entertainment for the couple." Tom Blake said as he smiled from ear to ear thinking of how much money they be gaining from this. "It's a good thing you brought her, she could help out a lot." Chairman Blake said whilst looking at his son's companion. As a man himself, he did find his son's woman to be attractive.

The Shadow Man WEDDING: PART III
After the wedding, the reception was held in the same venue. All attention was on the couple and their family, but most attention went towards the girl who recently joined the family because she was pregnant. A lot of people were eager to make connections with the family and one of them was Joe Black, as so, he joined the group happily whilst dragging the entire Blake family with him.

The Shadow Man AUDITION: PART I
Jacob and Leslie were on their way home. Both of them waited for a taxi outside the hotel. Coincidentally, Joe Black and Jessica's family were coming out as well. "Oh, Mr. Wayne, should we give you a lift home?" Joe Black said as he saw the man standing outside, whilst they waited for a ride. "No need." Jacob replied as a taxi stopped at that same moment right in front of them. Leslie hesitated to look back and greet them as she didn't want to look at the ugly face of Jessica all glaring at her. What's more, her family was with her and she didn't want more eyes on her as she felt suffocated already earlier. Both of them got inside the taxi as they left without any word. Leaving the Blake couple to have a few words to say about what happened. "That b*stard, doesn't he know how to greet his elder at else." Chairman Blake exploded in anger, seeing how arrogant the boy had been after he left their family. He had lost so much today as he didn’t get any good words out at all. He wanted
The Shadow Man AUDITION: PART II
10 AM A lot of ladies were out in the hallway waiting for their turn. As a man walked out of the door and made the announcement that the audition would soon start. A few ladies were all pale, worried for what was to come. "Leslie, are you alright?" Manager Jean asked, noticing the girl's soul seemed to have left her body. Seeing how the girl looked, she looked even more worried. The more she worried, the more she cursed the man who put them in such a situation. "I'm fine." She replied nothing more to say as she was too nervous at that moment. Manager Jean sighs, giving up all hope. It was far too impossible for the girl to get the role the President asked of them. She had been stressing these past few days and had been barging in the president's office, asking the man of what he was thinking. Yet, the man would only reply to her: The higher up request of it. So, what can she do but obediently agree as she was an employee and is in need of work. As the girls were all anxiously wa
The Shadow Man AUDITION: PART III
Producer Copper opened the bag and was shocked to see the money; he right away questioned the man but was interrupted. "Did President Gordon come and see you too?" He asked of him before the man could even ask him. "What, President Gordon?" Producer Copper was confused. He then somehow understood where the money came from seeing the man asked of him if the man went to see him as well. "No, he didn't. So, this money, it came from him." "Yes." He shortly answered as he grabbed a bottle of whiskey for him and the man. He poured a small glass out and drank it right away; afterwards, instead of giving the man next to him a drink, he drank the second one right away as he had been stressed all day. "He didn't ask much. Just that, I should know what to do." "Then, what should you do?" He asked as he then took a drink and drank it in one go. Despite he doesn’t particularly like whiskey, since they were so rich at this moment. He could just go to the hospital to care of his health anytime so
The Shadow Man CONGRATULATION: PART I
After the audition, Leslie returned to the company with Manager Jean. The two of them discuss the event that just happened. Both of them have dark cloud over them as they already expected the worst. “Leslie, don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be able to get another role.” Manager Jean tried to cheer the girl up. In the first place, it wasn’t the girl’s fault that she couldn’t get the role. At least, they tried there best. During the time they practice together she saw how much talent the girl has. But, what can they do when the role they wanted to take was already pre-decided for. “Manager Jean, like I said, I know my limit. We already knew from the start that I can never get the role. Plus, the role was already decided to be Jessica. Frankly, I don’t know what the higher ups are thinking. But at least we can show them that we tried our best.” Leslie said optimistically and with a bright smile. Manager Jean no longer worried. The girl was as bright and cheerful like she normally was.
