"Good morning. Mr.Wilson wants to see you," he said to the record keeper.

"Ok, I will be with him shortly," he expressed. The record keeper quickly gathered what he had recorded in one place. He packed them and headed to meet Mr.Wilson.

'Is this a record Mr. Darin? Go back and correct the errors or you lose your job,' those words echoed within his head. Mr. Darin remembered how he lashed at him. He didn't want that to repeat itself.

He walked gently with fear all over him towards Mr. Wilson, thinking profusely. His is shaking within him and he hoped he won't be lashed at.

"Walk here quickly. God damn it! You are too slow," Mr. Wilson expressed with so much disgust that made Mr. Darin feared even more.

He walked hurriedly to him, "good morning sir," he tossed with his voice shaking like a toddler.

"Hand over the record," Mr. Wilson ordered without giving a damn about his greeting.

Mr. Darin stretched the record to him, while his hand kept shaking.

Mr. Wilson stared at it for a while before he collected the record, "give me the courtesy, Mr. Darin! I am not a monster. Stop shaking before me like a toddler," he whimpered from his cavity with his face all frowned and sternly looking at him.

Mr. Darin couldn't stop his body from shaking. The more the boss speaks harshly, the more his body shakes.

Mr. Wilson didn't give a damn about his God forsakened body. He focused on the record by first checking how neat the book is.

He nodded his head, "you are becoming neat this days Mr. Darin," he emptied out of his vocals.

Mr. Darin couldn't speak or smile, he kept silent to avoid insults, still, he is getting embarrassed in the front of other employees.

He feel like the ground should open its mouth for him to enter.

Mr. Wilson opened the pages of the record to see how many fabrics have been sold and how many have been produced. He flipped through the record pages bit by bit.

When he noticed what he had in there will take time, he signalled with his palms to Mr. Darin so that he could leave.

Happy Mr. Darin sighed heavily. His mind relaxed in a bit. He walked hurriedly away from his terrifying presence.

'Gosh! This man will never disappoint,' he reasoned wildly within him. His shaky body stopped instantly.

Mr. Wilson scanned through the pages of the record gently. After a thorough glance, "this is highly impressive," he said with a lot of surprise. He didn't expect such from Mr. Darin of all the workers within the industry.

"Give this to Mr.Darin. I need to get into my office at once," he said slowly, making sure Jim got a hang of the information he is passing across.

"Ok sir," he collected the record from him and head to meet Mr. Darin.

Mr. Wilson walked gently to his office. 'Well, well, well… we here again,' he retorted with a smile all over his face. He is happy to be at the office.

Not long after, Jim walked into his office gently, "I have done what you asked, sir," he emptied, hoping the boss will bid him farewell for the day. He is damn tired of the work around.

"Ok good. Please call me the secretary," he expressed with a keen look.

"Ok sir," Jim walked out of his office to get the secretary.

Mr. Wilson stared around his luxurious office; highly decorated.

After a while, Jim stepped in with his secretary.

"Good morning sir," his secretary greeted once again. This time with a reluctant voice.

Mr. Wilson noticed her voice, " Mrs. Sandra Howell… are you tired of your job?" He let the words slip through his lips swiftly.

'Gosh!' she retorted within, "I am sorry Sir," her voiced cracked out as she tried to get a hold on herself.

"It is better you know what you are doing," he said with a frown.

Mrs. Sandra cleared her throat from the crack in his voice.

"So, what is in my to-do list," he asked, keenly focusing on his secretary.

The secretary hisses inaudibly, "you are going to visit a super market near the under developed road down the street. You also have a meeting with a textile firm by 3pm today. You have….," He didn't let her complete the to-do list, instead, he cuts her.

"That's ok. I guess i will head to the super market now. Since it's 1pm," he puked from his vocals.

Sandra Howell knows he is not in anyway talking to her, so she held her peace.

"Jim! I guess we have to go," he said with a smile and stand from his chair.

Jim nodded his hand and opened the door for his boss. Mr. Wilson stepped out gently from his office.

Jim banged the door behind him while they both walk up to the car situated at Mr. Wilson's garage.

Jim opened the door of the car for his boss. Mr. Wilson entered into his car gently. He adjusted himself, haven sit properly. Jim closed the closed of his car gently.

He entered the driver's seat and he kicks the engine. He switched on the AC.

'Wow, this is incredible,' Lucia marvelled with a smile on her face. She crossed the road and walked into the classy super market she saw earlier.

The interior of the super market is highly decorated. Lucia couldn't get enough of its beauty. Her mouth widened with shock as she admired the whole setting.

Not quite long, a black beautiful car packed at the front of the super market.

Jim intentionally blared the horn of the car which called the attention of the people within the super market.

Lucia glared through the glass to see who is it.

"You will soon loose your job, Jim!" He puked out of his lips.

Jim shuddered and get down of the car.

Mr. Wilson stayed within until Jim opened the door for him.

He adjusted his dress after he had stepped down from the car.

Jim locked the car doors as they walked into the super market.

"Good afternoon sir," a person greeted.

Mr. Wilson waved at the person without saying a word. He walked into the super market with Jim; his driver.

He stared around, for a while before his eye spotted the young, hot damsel standing towards one of the workers. His mind accelerated within him, 'WTF!' he retorted within, because her beauty blared at him like the police sirene.

'I want this girl,' the words slipped out his lips gently while his imagination ran wild within him.

'oh I need you,' he heard the voice of the beautiful lady hunk at him within his imaginations.

At the moment, he is lost within his fantasy.

    "Hello, miss," Wilson said as he walked up to the lady before him. "How are you doing today?" The lady eyed him from head to toe and replied, "I'm fine." Wilson smiled upon hearing her response. "That's good," he said. "I'm guessing you know me already." The lady looked at him before saying, "no, I do not. What do you want?" Wilson was shocked at her response. There was no one who didn't know him. And why did she reply him so sarcastically? Who did she think she was? Wilson tried staying calm so he would not react to the lady's attitude. He said, "I don't understand how you do not know me. Or aren't you from around here?""I actually am not from here," the lady replied. "And if you do not have anything important to say, I would love for you to excuse me cause I really am very busy," she said as she turned to face the worker she had been speaking with. Wilson's mouth hung in shock. Did she just do what he saw her do? How dare she? What rights did she think she had to reply him that

    "She then slapped me and walked out of the supermarket,". Wilson said as he finished explaining everything that had happened at the supermarket to his best friend, Nathan. Nathan sighed as he sipped his martini. "You do know you started everything yourself," Nathan said. "What do you mean by I started everything myself?" Wilson asked as he was confused. "You slapping the girl was the first thing you did wrong," Nathan answered as he sipped his martini and dropped it slowly. "You shouldn't have slapped her just because of what she did. You shouldn't even slap a woman at all." Wilson looked at his best friend like he had betrayed him. "Have you forgotten how she replied me?" Wilson asked angrily. "She talked back at me like she didn't know who I was. She has no right to even speak to me talk less speaking to me the way she did.""Whatever, man," Nathan said as he belched lightly. "I'm just here to tell you the plain truth, man.""Plain truth?" Wilson shouted, attracting the attentio

    "Where do you want me to drop this vase, sir?" Lucia asked Thomas as she picked up the shiny vase. "Oh, Lucia, drop it close to the China cups right there," Thomas said as he began dusting the glass cups on the shelves. "And drop it carefully. It is breakable and very very expensive." Diana nodded as she dropped the vase cautiously beside the China cups Thomas had told her to. She sighed in relief after dropping it as the vase was very slippery. "Done with cleaning the vases, sir" Lucia said to Thomas. "What next do you want me to do, sir?" she asked as Thomas turned to face her. "Just take some rest, okay?" he said as he motioned for her to sit down. "You have done enough for today. I and my wife can finish the rest.""No, no, no," Lucia said as she walked up to Thomas and grabbed the duster from his hands. "I refuse, sir. I can't stand and watch you and Ma clean this place when I know I'm capable of doing it myself." Thomas smiled and walked to the chair and sat on it. "You are

    “What was that?” A panicking Mrs Benita asked as she turned her direction towards the noise. “You both stay here. I'll go check it out” Lucia volunteered. By that time, she could notice some people hurriedly walking towards a particular direction and followed suit. The loud sound came from what looked like an accident, but a lot of people were already gathered, making it hard for her to see.“What happened here?” Lucia asked after a failed attempt to squeeze her way through the crowd. “It was a hit and run incident ma'am. A truck collided violently with a poor old man, and he's bleeding profusely. I pray he doesn't give up the ghost” a stranger answered. Although Lucia couldn't tell who the accident victim was, she felt a sense of unease in her. This was her first time being close to an accident scene. Where she came from, they were hardly cars, and the road was pretty bad, preventing speeding of the few vehicles around. Soon enough, there were sounds of ambulance blaring, follo

    “Good day Ma'am” a police officer who was accompanied by his fellow colleague greeted Lucia, cutting her from her thoughts. “Good day Mr” a confused Lucia answered politely. “Please, call me officer John. This is officer Jack. We were around at the site of the incident and wanted to ask you some questions. This can enable us to hasten the search process” officer John explained. “Oh, okay…” Lucia answered. “If you will, please follow us to this corner” Officer John said with his hands gesturing towards a corner, a little away from where she sat. “From what I heard, I believe you are the daughter of the deceased. Is that right?” the police officer asked. “Yes Sir” Lucia replied as she leaned towards the walls of the hospital out of tiredness. “Please can we get your name?” He asked. She looked at the security man standing before me and wished in her heart of hearts that she would just make him pause for the moment. That however wasn't possible, so she heaved a heavy sigh. “My n

    Shortly afterwards, Sandra returned with an energy drink and glass cup, accompanied by three policemen. At the sight of the men in uniform, Wilson's eyes rolled at 180⁰ and he let out a loud groan. “You all could have just let me have my drink in peace before coming to disturb me” Wilson whimpered from his cavity. “I now understood what you meant boss” Sandra remarked, pointing to what Wilson earlier mentioned. “I don't know what it is this time, but three policemen putting on a frown means trouble. Should I let them in, Sir?” Sandra asked as she served him the drink. “Allow the gentlemen in. While you're at it, fetch me Jim and that idiot Henry. I'll also need you to be present. Go as fast as possible and be back before… five minutes” Wilson said, looking at his watch, and then fixing his gaze on Sandra. “Officers... please, come in and have a seat” Wilson exclaimed, putting on a fake smile to hide his vexed mood. “We're not here to have a seat Mr Wilson.

    “Please Mr Wilson. My wife is pregnant and very due. I beg of you, help me. You're my only hope of getting away from this situation without landing in jail. You know how I've diligently worked for the company all my life. If I've offended you in any way, please have mercy. Please Mr…” Henry was yet to finish his sentence when he was cut off by a now irritated Wilson. “Oh for God's sake, shut up already. Why are you asking for my forgiveness? Huh? Did you kill my dad?” Wilson emptied his cavity angrily after what seemed like an eternity of begging for forgiveness from Henry. “Oh please Mr Wilson” Henry begged once again, this time on his knees. “What are you trying to do?” Wilson puked from his vocals in disgust. Never had anyone knelt down before him, now to talk of holding clinging onto him. He saw Henry's act as a way of saying he was wicked and heartless as onlookers watched the scene and left shaking their heads. “Please Sir” Henry's voice croaked. “Let go of me this instant

    “Hmm? What was that?” Wilson asked, drawing closer to get a better hearing of what seemed like the first word said by Lucia. “I said, apologize” Lucia repeated, this time a little louder, her voice cracking at each interval. “Hm, still finding it hard to hear you clearly. Seems like you have a bad cough young lady. You should get that fixed” Wilson said, making fun of Lucia despite him hearing what she said. “She said apologize Sir” Jim butted in, helping Wilson out in his difficulty to hear well. Wilson, who was not expecting anyone to talk, gave Jim a deadly glare which could kill. Jim tried to avoid eye contact, but it was too late to look away. He understood that he was in trouble for what he said and swallowed hard. “As I was saying before this impudent fool distracted me, I didn't get what you said. Now that he's helped my hearing disability, I would like to ask you a question. Do I in any way look like the person who killed your father?” Wilson puked from his vocals, not m

    The ‘feast’ mood in Lucia and Mr. Thomas seemed to have vanished into thin air after the unsettling encounter with Wilson. While Lucia wrestled with thoughts about what she had done to deserve such an experience, Mr. Thomas, on the other hand, couldn’t stop thinking about the court case. Although the legal matter didn’t really concern him, he had grown attached to Lucia, considering her like a third daughter, even though they had only known each other for a short time.They were both so absorbed in their thoughts that they didn’t realize when they had arrived at their destination. It wasn’t until the taxi driver’s persistent voice brought them back to reality.“Hello? Can you hear me?” the driver called out, slightly annoyed. “Huh?” they both muttered in unison, snapping out of their trance as they turned to face the driver who had been waiting for them to acknowledge him.“We’re here. Isn’t this where you wanted to go?” the driver asked, gesturing to the building in front of them.

    As Wilson and Jimmy drove through the streets and back to the Palma mansion, the weight of their mission loomed over them. Wilson, with his mind racing through the next steps, broke the silence after it was observed for some minutes. “Tomorrow is a workday, but I'll have my dad and Sandra handle everything while I’m away. You and I will be visiting Miss Lucia. I need you to find her workplace and get back to me as soon as possible. It’s crucial that you gather all the information you can, and if necessary, use any means to get it. I expect a report before midnight.” Wilson uttered, calculating the magnitude of his every word before saying it out.Jimmy, though used to Wilson’s demanding nature, was surprised by the urgency. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard to be sure of the time, and sure enough, it was late. “Tonight? But it’s already late, Sir. People might not be willing to talk at this hour as they may be packing up their shops or finding their way home” Jimmy explained

    Lucia's fury surged as she picked up the empty bag, her hands trembling with anger."What is the meaning of this?" she demanded, her voice cutting through the noise of the market like a sharp blade. She had reached her breaking point."Get out of my sight, asshole! Just leave me alone. My life was going just fine until you interfered," Lucia spat, her words filled with venom as she swung the empty bag at Wilson. The bag, light and harmless, did little to physically hurt him, but it was the gesture that carried the weight of her frustration and pain.Wilson, caught off guard by the sudden attack, instinctively raised his arms to protect his face, which was his number one priority.Jimmy, who had been standing nearby, sprang into action. "Woah, woah, woah, take it easy, ma'am. You're hurting my boss," he shouted as he rushed over to Wilson's side, quickly grabbing the bag from Lucia's grasp. His loyalty to Wilson was unwavering, but even he could see the intensity in Lucia's eyes.Mr.

The open speech she made had captured the attention of many, spreading like wildfire across social media. Afterward, she went on with Mr. Thomas to pick up whatever they had planned to get at the market. Her emotions were still tingling from the confrontation, but she politely requested to be shown the full video of the press conference that had triggered her anger in the first place.As she watched the video, her fury reignited. "I can't believe this guy," Lucia muttered under her breath, her voice shaking with emotion. "He has all the money and fame, and he uses it to manipulate people, to turn them to his side. Meanwhile, people like me are left to suffer alone. He tried to bribe me with that money, but he sure has his way of sweet-talking out of trouble." Lucia’s voice cracked as she spoke, her anger mingling with the sadness she carried within her. The injustice of it all seemed unbearab

    Wilson and his dad, Mr. Palma, were already halfway home when Wilson’s phone rang. The name “Sandra” flashed on the screen, and Wilson’s brow furrowed in confusion. Sandra rarely called outside of work hours unless something was truly urgent. They had already wrapped up the day’s work, so this unexpected call felt unsettling.He hesitated for a moment, his thumb hovering over the answer button before he finally picked up. He then remained silent, waiting for Sandra to speak first, a habit he had developed in dealing with unexpected situations.“Sir, I’m so sorry to disturb whatever you’re doing, but you need to see the news. Miss Lucia is at her worst, causing a lot of issues. Live videos of her are currently circulating online, and she’s talking about you,” Sandra’s voice was tinged with concern.Wilson felt a cold shiver run down his spine. Lucia, again? The memory of their last encounter still lingered in his mind, and now she was publicly speaking about him. His pulse quickened, b

    Lucia and Mr. Thomas had decided to stop by one of the busiest and most popular sub-streets in Chicago, a place well-known to the city’s middle class and poorer citizens. They needed to pick up a few things for the family.Earlier on the train, they had excitedly planned a mini feast to celebrate a successful deal with Mr. Benson. The feast was only possible if they visited the market, so they had made a quick detour before heading home.Mr. Thomas, who was such a sweet gentleman, respected the “ladies first” rule and allowed Lucia to lead the way. She walked ahead, her thoughts clouded by the discussion with Mr Ben, while Mr. Thomas followed closely behind. As they entered the crowded market, the usual bustle and noise surrounded them. The scent of spices mixed with the smell of fresh produce was everywhere, while vendors called out to potential customers, their voices competing for attention. Lucia had always found this part of the city oddly charming, despite its chaos. But today

    “What can I get you Sirs?” The young and pretty waitress asked with a warm smile as she approached the table where Mr. Palma and Wilson had settled in the elegant restaurant. The place was all polished wood, ambient lighting, and the kind of atmosphere that invited deep conversations.“Well, I'll be having the macaroni and brie with the crab. Top that with a sweet and tangy sauce which you think would be best to go with the meal. I'll also have the cauliflower steak with hazelnut and browned butter. I'll have two portions of that,” said Mr. Palma, taking the lead with his eyes scanning the menu one last time before handing it back to the waitress. His voice was calm and measured, as if he had all the time in the world.The waitress nodded, jotting down his order with swift, practiced movements. She then turned to Wilson with the same polite smile. “And for you, sir?” the waitress asked, in expectancy of a reply. Wilson glanced at the menu briefly before responding, “I'll go with th

    “Wow, son! You did a better job handling that question than I had imagined. I thought that lady had you trapped in a tight spot, but you proved me wrong,” Mr. Palma said to his son when they both returned to Wilson's office. His eyes twinkled with pride, the kind of pride that only a father feels when his son rises above expectations. The echoes of the press conference still rang in their ears, but Mr. Palma was more focused on the fact that Wilson had displayed his critical thinking skills perfectly and at just the right moment.“Well, thank you, Mr. Palma,” Wilson responded, his voice carrying a mix of relief and pride. “That reporter had my weakness pegged and made sure everyone knew it. It really took a lot of brainwork to wriggle out of that one, but what can I say? I’m your true blood,” Wilson added, with a touch of humor.As they settled into the office, Wilson’s thoughts began to wander. It wasn’t long before he noticed something—or rather, someone—missing.

    “Really? But why? I’m sure Mr. Wilson would like to stay in his lane to protect his esteem, at least after what I did to him,” Lucia said confidently. She knew to an extent that Wilson wouldn't change his proud and arrogant ways, especially not for her. Calling her would be hurting his pride. Mr. Benson’s response surprised her. He chuckled softly, shaking his head in understanding. “You mean the little act of flinging cash in his face? You don’t understand what someone like Mr. Wilson might do to protect his reputation. People in his position can be incredibly ruthless. They might go as far as kidnapping you if things don’t go their way. The rich aren’t like they are portrayed on TV. They’re often a mix of crazy lunatics and ruthless individuals who use their wealth to maintain their facade. You only see their dark side when you become an enemy or a significant annoyance.
