Blake left the cabin and met with the remaining women. Nancy and Koran wanted to stay and finish their training; they were still on holiday. Instead of staying at an expensive motel, they could enjoy their time in the Small World. The beach and ocean were only a walk from here, and the spirit Qi was dense for their cultivation.“If anything, I still need to catch up with Nancy; I’m close to securing a breakthrough into the golden core,” Koran said after kissing Blake, leaving them to continue cultivating.“I’ll stay and keep Koran company. How can we contact you when we are ready to leave?” Nancy asked.“As silly as it seems, all you have to do is call me, and I will hear you,” Blake responded with a smile.“Okay, I’ll miss you, Blake,” Nancy said, kissing Blake on the cheek. She just wasn’t ready yet for a romantic interlude with him. Blake was in no rush and would never pressure any of his women.Soon, the environment changed into Blake and Claire’s Suite. The women left for their a
Blake then gathered the children after they greeted Robert in their own way and calmed them down, introducing them to his Grandfather again. When he came to Elise, he introduced her as his daughter from the Small World’s Tree of Life, to the amazement of Robert.“I’ll have the proper documents arranged for the adoption process; from here on out, she will be Elise Elon,” Robert stated proudly.“Dear, if I’m to make that meeting, I will need to be going,” Claire said, looking at her diamond watch.“Mistress, the car is prepared and awaiting your arrival in front; please follow me,” Jenkins stated and guided Claire out after she kissed all her children and her man farewell.“Brat, what are you going to do in explaining this? From infants to toddlers in two days?” Robert asked.“Growth Spurt?” Blake replied, placing his hand behind his head.“GROWTH SPURT? Maybe a time machine?” Robert exclaimed.“Will you be able to watch over them while I’m away?” Blake asked, changing the subject.“Sur
“First business is this greetings meeting. The board is to be introduced to you and Miss. Weston is the new CEO and COO of the company. There will be forms needed to be signed and documented as you take over the positions and then a tour of the facility and shooting studios. Later in the evening, you are to meet with the entertainers and get to know them with a meet and greet.” Gloria said, looking over her tablet.Claire looked at her watch again, frowned, and found it was already past their meeting due time. This was a showing of superiority and blatant deniability of her role as CEO. Claire looked around and, through the glass, saw the receptionist filing her nails without care. The water pitcher was unprepared, and she was beginning to feel thirsty. Seeing Gloria was busy on her tablet with Salone, they arranged the process for her Claire rose, grabbed the pitcher, and headed out of the room.“Claire, where are you going?”“I feel a bit thirsty. I’ll fill the pitcher; continue wit
“What nonsense are you saying, young lady? I’m Mark Merriweather, CEO of this company, and I have all the rights to do what I claim. Just because you were caught red-handed and caused the assault on one of our respected directors, don’t change what is white into black.” Mark said, retaking Ken’s side.“Don’t cause white to become black, is it? The CEO of this company? Not from where I’m standing.” Claire stated. “This is Dynamic Entertainment, and the current CEO is another than yourself, or did you not get the memo? As for this piece of trash, I’ll be seeing him in court.”(“Come now, don’t be this way; with your looks, you will fly into the sky and shine more brightly than most women stars. Let’s get acquainted and talk it over later tonight over drinks; what do you say?” Ken’s voice came from Clire’s phone.“Sir, if you don’t move, I will have to use force; I already said not interested, and if you continue with this, I will have no choice but to call security,” Claire’s voice was
“Now that introductions are concluded let me begin with what happened earlier.” Claire began only to hear some groans from some of the members.“What? You don’t dem sexual harassment and using one’s position to coerce a fellow employee in the workforce important within the company?” Claire asked after the groans died down.“The reputation we will henceforth thrive for will be excellence. If I was not who I am and was actually one of the receptionists here in the company and was assaulted, harassed, and looked down because of my lower position, what would have become of me? What took place was the upper management not investigating the situation and taking the higher authority as law. It was a he said, she said situation, and if I didn’t record our conversation, what would have happened? I would have been blacklisted and unable to provide for myself or my family because someone jumped the gun without evidence of what wrongdoing had occurred. Now I ask you, who is at fault?” Claire ask
“I’m sorry, I misspoke. I will need you to be Salon’s assistant from now on and need you to get a replacement for your position. If you accept, being Salone’s assistant, it includes a promotion and salary increase.” Claire explained, seeing the shock even more on Juliett’s face.“Yes,” Juliett said excitedly.“On what part?” Claire asked amusingly.“Both, I have a person who can take my place, and I will wholly accept the position of Miss. Weston’s assistant.” Juliett said with tears of joy.“Good; when Gloria returns, we will go to our offices and see what is needed there,” Claire said and texted Gloria to retrieve another security card for Juliett.Soon Gloria arrived with the cards and distributed them to all four women in the conference room. They then left the floor and entered the elevator. Using the card and pressing the top floor, the elevator continues to the designated floor. It would seem that the card could override the system and have the floor open for the public during
Blake, not to lose another person to poison, quickly checked for the false tooth, but none of the other men had one. Only their leader had it to stop any information leaks, Blake did a soul search on a number of the men, but none had any valuable information for him, which confirmed his suspicions. Blake only had more questions than answers. Why did they want to eliminate me, and who was this Commander? Blake made a call, and it quickly came through.“Yes, lord, how can this lowly servant serve you?” Darrel asked when he answered the phone.“Are you aware where my new home is in the Capital?” Blake asked.There was a long pause before he replied.“Yes, my lord, I am aware,” Darrel said hesitantly.“Good, come to mop up your organization’s mess,” Blake had gotten with the bit of information he retrieved from the numerous men.“I better have an answer for the meetings by the end of the day, or there will be no Alliance of Mid-Eastern by the time I’m finished with all of you.” Blake thre
Gerald then walked back to his cabin for the three to reunite. Blake wiping his tears, was ecstatic over the turn of events. How could he have forgotten she was of the Phoenix clan and had to undergo the baptism of the Heavenly Flame for rebirth? “Sorry to have worried you; the flame was sudden and didn’t allow me to explain,” Koran said, smiling at the weeping woman in her arms.“As long as you are safe,” Nancy stated, composing herself and wiping her tears, releasing her grip on her friend.“Congratulations on forming your golden core. It would seem you have proven yourself in the Heavenly Flame’s baptism. How do you feel?” Blake asked.“Like a fire wanting to be released and devour everything,” Koran explained.“Try releasing a little in your palm,” Blake said with a smile.Koran then concentrated, and a fireball flickered and moved as if it was alive. Koran had a complicated emotion as the flame danced on her palm.“No, you are not allowed. No, be obedient, and I will see what I
