"I received your message requesting my attendance at this party. May I ask why it was so important?" Darryl inquired, turning to face the now flustered Mrs. Davis. Trying hard to maintain her composure, Mrs Davis replied, "Yes, I did. But we cannot discuss business here. Please, have a seat." Mrs. Davis led Darryl to the front row where he would be seated as the chairman for the event. However, Mrs. Davis had other plans for him. Being the most powerful businessman in Kasland City, Darryl was highly sought after by all the elite individuals in the country. Seizing the opportunity, some of the guests raised their glasses to toast him and potentially form partnerships with him. Politely declining most of the offers, Darryl was obligated to show face to some of his father's friends. One such person was Mr. Bethel, to whom Darryl had to concede when he offered a toast. Taking advantage of the situation, Mrs. Davis gave Darryl a spiked drink that she had specially prepared for h

"You would have to find that out for yourself." Emily answered and left. 'Could it be him?' Lily said to herself, thinking it was her secret admirer who always gifted her a parcel on her birthday. She quickly dressed up in a fashionable style and exited the room. After discerning the staircase, Lily realized there were a lot of guests at the living hall. For a second, she forgot it was her birthday as she had no recollection of any birthday celebration plans. Sporting her, Emily quickly walked towards her little sister and held her hand affectionately, "you are finally here, come! You have visitors". She said as she blinked her eyes innocently. Mrs Davis joined her children in the living hall after entertaining the visitors. "Lily, Mrs Bethel wants to see you. Come, let's go to her." Emily drag her sister along without waiting for her response. A middle age man dressed in all white from top to bottom with a white walking stick was sitting at the left corner of the living r

"Were you able to track it?" Lily asked as soon as the call was connected. "No, Miss. Negative." The voice on the other end of the line reported. "What? I thought you have been on guard since 8:00 p.m." Lily signed with disappointment. "Yes Miss, but I didn't see anything. To tell you the truth, there hasn't been any van using this road today. The only car that bypassed me was a taxi. I'm sure the car was already in your area." The person said with all certainty. 'The gift arrived during daytime, but how is this possible? How could someone deliver a parcel and still remain unseen when he has stayed alert for 24 hours? That's impossible.' Lily thought to herself. "I'm sure this has to be negligence on your part." She finally said after drawing a conclusion. "Believe me miss, I didn't move an inch from here. Do not forget, I'm getting paid for this job. There's no way I'll do a shady work and expect to get paid." The person on the other end of the line said with conviction.

"Just do as you are told and stop asking questions." Darryl looked at Alexander with disatisfaction. "Okay boss," Alexander said and left the office in surprise.##########United States, New York City - New York."Miss the package has arrived successfully" Sheryl reported."Good. We are left with a few hours till dawn. Make sure it is delivered without any clues." Kelsa ordered."Okay Miss," Sheryl said.As they were busy discussing, a little girl run into the office."Mummy, mummy, mummy! Uncle Curtis said we will be going very soon. Is that true?" The little girl asked with an Innocent expression full of expectations on her face. Kelsa lifted the little girl into her embrace and placed her gently on her lap. After that, she caressed the little girls face gently and said, "Uncle Curtis was just teasing you. We are going nowhere." The little girl poked Kelsa as she said, "He also said you will say that." Feeling trapped, Kelsa changed her words, "Daisie, we will be going, but no

Sheryl could sense the anguish in her boss's words. She took Kelsa's hands in hers and offered solace, "Miss, I give you my word. We will not stop until he is found, no matter what it takes. The search team is exhausting all efforts, leaving no stone unturned. Do not lose hope, Miss."Following a short pause, she stated, "Miss, I have already prepared the package. Should I send it?"Kelsa composed herself upon hearing the news that the package was ready. "Please send it on my behalf. I have a patient to attend to."##########Kasland City."Consume it, swallow it before I lose my patience with you!" Abigail shouted, fuming with anger."Abigail, you must control your temper. Dillon is still a baby and can only eat so much. He's full, see how bloated his belly is." Mrs Duke cautioned her daughter."He must finish the entire bowl, since it took you time to prepare it. It's his fault Darryl does not want me to go to the Shaw mansion anymore. Thus, he is not fit to get his way. Swallow!" Ab

"Which contract are you referring to? Ah, yes, I must have overlooked it. This is what we'll do, I've already arranged a meeting with their manager. Let's see how it turns out after the meeting.

If they aren't, then what category do they fall under? Drugs?"##########United States, New York City - New York."Miss Davis, I just got off the phone with Mr. Alexander Fox, personal assistant to Mr. Shaw of Shaw Corporations.
