Untold chronicles of power

Chapter six

Jackson laughed at her words, he found her tantrum amusing and he could not wait to prove to her that she was wrong. He walked to her and lifted her chin with his fingers. He knew how lowly she thought of him and her status as the boss of the company made her unable to believe that he could help the company in any way. 

   Sophia was shocked at his actions, he knew him only as a lowly worker, a loser, and a coward, how could he dare to speak nonsense and then touch her? What was he up to and when did he grow the balls to address her so casually? 

   With a cocky smile, he said, "I accept your terms, you have got yourself a deal." He said. "You can go ahead and transfer the money you need." 

   "Put your hands off me, you have no idea what you're talking about, get out of my office, Jackson." She snapped.

   "Are you going back on your words so soon?" He asked, arching his brows. 

   Sophia bared her teeth at him and slammed her fist on the table, angry at what he'd just said.

   "I do not ever go back on my words, but I'm sure you're gonna eat yours right now."

   She sneered at him and angrily swatted his fingers off her face, "You're bragging and you know that now I'm going to expose you." She said with a scowl. 

   Jackson smiled and took his seat again, slouching and crossing one leg on the other. His amused smile only upset her more and she couldn't wait to disgrace him and his lies. 

She knew she didn't need up to 100 million but she wanted to embarrass him thoroughly by mentioning an outrageous amount. She was the boss and even she could not get such an amount of money to help the company, talk more of giving it out to anyone. She knew he'd be ashamed and walk away. 

   "How about I take 50 million dollars?" She asked with a taunting smile. 

   She noticed that Jackson wasn't moved, he still sat easily and merely nodded at her, "Go ahead, take what you need." He replied. 

   Sophia was upset at his casual response and decided to up her game. "How about 100 million dollars? Huh? Since you're so loaded." She said and chuckled mockingly. 

   Sophia still smiled, unmoved, and nodded at her, "Go ahead, Sophia." He replied calmly.

  She looked at him closely, thinking how he could muster up such courage and talk back at her, addressing her by her first name. He was lucky he had resigned or she would fire him herself. 

   As Sophia looked at the card again, she wondered where he had gotten it from and why he was trying so hard to impress her with it.  

   Sophia decided to give it a try and disgrace him but a thought stopped her. 

She realized suddenly that the absurd amount she had mentioned could not even be transferred from a card all at once. 

   Realizing this, she became amused at his antics and laughed at him loudly then leaned closer to his face, "You're a pathetic liar and you have just proven that right now." She said and sat back on her chair. 

   Jackson raised his brows at her questioningly and she shook her head in disgust. 

   "You and I know that every bank card has a limit and no card I know can make a hundred million dollars in withdrawal all at once, stop making a fool of yourself, Jackson, admit you're a liar." She mocked happily. 

   "You haven't tried." He replied simply. 

   Sophia sneered at him, she did not wish to waste any more of her time talking with him when it was clear that he was lying and bragging emptily. 

  "It's obvious you do not even have enough money to know what limit is acceptable on a card at a time. You're pathetic." She laughed scornfully. 

   Jackson shook his head at her taunts and shrugged, "How would you possibly know that, why not just give it a try." He insisted again, confidently. 

   Sophia thought that Jackson was merely trying to cover up his lies, she wanted to embarrass him completely expose his lies, and shatter his fake confidence. She inserted 100 million dollars into the system with a wicked smile, ready to disgrace him. 

The smile was wiped off her face when she saw that the transaction was being processed rather than being declined or failed as she'd expected. 

   Sophia frowned, she could not believe her eyes when she saw the transaction receipt appear on her screen, it was successful. She gasped in shock and her eyes went to Jackson just as her phone rang. 

   "Hello, who is this?" She asked rather rudely and impatiently. 

  A soft female voice came from the other end. "Good afternoon, ma'am. Just a few seconds ago, 100 million dollars was transferred  into your account, by the policy of our bank, this makes you the SVIP of the bank." The lady said respectfully. 

   "What?" She asked, astonished at the information, she looked at the ID of the caller and it was truly that of her bank. 

    "Is this a scam?" She mumbled under her breath, wondering how it could even be possible. Her eyes went back to Jackson and he was seated there, a smile still on his face. 

   "Who put you up to this?" She asked but the lady on the line simply replied calmly that she was only calling based on the bank policy and the transfer she had seen on her account. 

   Sophia was still in disbelief but as she glanced at her screen again, she saw that the company account had been credited a few seconds ago. The transfer was indeed successful. 

   "How is this possible?" His gaze was on Jackson and he said nothing, the smirk on his face seemed to be the only response she would be getting. 

   "How is this possible?" She asked and the lady replied in a respectful voice, "This transfer was made from the Supreme Black Card, the card has no limits so any amount can be sent at once, 100 million is possibly the least that you can think will be possible with the Supreme Black Card." She said, 

   Sophia was thoroughly in shock, she had only ever heard of the Supreme Black Card.
