Evans was shocked at the sudden outburst of the reporter. How did this person come in and how the hell did he have so much designs. Was someone playing some tricks.
"Cough...attention please." Evans cleared his throat.
"The person talking about plagiarism, if you don't produce enough evidence, be prepared to hear from our lawyer, what you are doing is slander and it won't be tolerated."
"I will let the PR manager explain everything to you." Evans said as he stepped off the stage. His job was just to introduce the products to the market, he did not expect that there will be such a mishap.
Who would try to throw mud at them like that. He believed that it couldn't be a person from their end as that would mean the person was sabotaging his career.
Even Velma was shocked. She was in the CEO'S office watching the live broadcast and almost wanted to run to conference room where the press conference was being held to clear out the rumours.
But
The reporter's heart skipped a bit seeing Martin, but it was soon back to normal. That person had said that the relationship between Martin and his daughter was down the drain and he even fired her. Actually his aim was just to mess up this press conference and if possible, force Velma to take the blame.After thinking things through, the reporter smiled smugly."Mr Martin, is it true that Gulf Financial Group took your company's designs and forced you to shut up?""Is it true that your daughter is there designer? But why would she leave her family's company and join someone else's?""Did she do something unspeakable that is why you chased her away?" The reporter was really bent on making things difficult for this people."Shut up!"Hearing that he was starting to slander his daughter, Martin roared angrily. His face turned dark from anger."CEO Martin..." Seeing that Martin was getting angry, the reporter thought that he got ev
The following morning, the internet was blasting with the news of Gulf Financial Group entering into jewelry market. Everyone was shocked at they rushed to get their hands on the first batch of the products.The orders flocked in like hurricanes, it was so overwhelming but it made everyone who participated in it feel accomplished.Even Julius was shocked when he saw the news. His son had not said anything to him about entering the jewelry market, but seeing the positive reviews online, he decided to trust his son."Whoa, I was just thinking about what to buy my girlfriend this Christmas. I was worried because Lovelast had not released anything new for a while now, but Gulf just came in in the nick of time.""It is hard to believe that it was designed by the same person. Looking at the designs from Lovelast and the one's released by Gulf, there is a big difference. I think that I'm becoming a die hard fan for this mysterious designer."The internet
When Albert and Velma reached the company, everyone had almost arrived. They were both driving their own cars. Although Albert wanted to so much drive in the same car with Velma, he did not want her to feel uncomfortable.On her way to the office, everyone greeted her. Even those who have never talked to her smiled at her.Velma could only awkwardly return their greetings."Boss congratulations for becoming famous, you are now more famous than most celebrities." The moment Velma entered her office, her coworkers shouted at her."It was everyone's hard work and sacrifice, I cannot take all the credit alone." Velma did not feel smug from the praises and responded politely.If it were not for these people being dedicated to their work, they would not have achieved such results....In the CEO'S office, Albert had just sat down when his phone rung, he took a look at the caller ID, and picked up after seeing that it was his father calling.
"Since we have already entered the market, we have to find the best strategy so that our product does not lose its value." Director Evans said."So what strategies have you come up with?" Julius asked with interest."We have discussed that we should first give out the first orders of the products then close up the order temporarily as we think of our next strategy.""Is the plan feasible? Making people wait, wouldn't that cause a negative impact on the company and the products? Further more, are you sure that you can meet all the orders now?" Julius asked."Selling the first batch will make people see the value of our products and that might make them curious of what we will be having in store next. But of course we need to listen to miss Velma's suggestion first."Julius turned to look at Velma who was sitting next to Albert. For the short time he has been here, he has noticed that his son was paying extra attention to this woman and every time he
He was displeased that his son was going against him because of a woman, doesn't that mean that it will become worse when they finally get together."Okay father, let us be clear on one thing, Velma is the person I like, she is the person my heart is set on and I'm going to pursue her. Whether she accepts me or rejects me, she will be the only person I will ever like in my entire life.""She is simple minded, and not like what you think about her. In your mind, any girl who is not from a good family background is a scammer, but Velma is different, I can swear on my life that she is nothing but a simple minded and a hardworking woman.""So dad please don't interfere in this matter. Don't start to find out things that you shouldn't. Just let me do my things and you should do yours too.""If time proves that Velma is as you think, then I will not fight with you anymore, I will marry anyone you chose for me. But if she is as I think, please father don't
It was time to get off work, Velma finished her work earlier. She did not want to work overtime as she missed her son.She had just taken her handbag when her phone rang."Hello, what's up?" Velma asked over the phone."Are you done with work?" Albert asked."Yes. I was just leaving.""Don't leave yet, I need to take you somewhere." Albert said.Raymond had mysteriously called him and told him go with Velma at Kingston hotel. It was one of the best hotels in the city and it was under Gulf Financial Group.He did not know what his brother had planned, but he did not want to let him down, so he could only agree reluctantly."Where?" Velma asked."I have no idea. It was Raymond who called me and told me that I have to take you there, I have no idea what he is planning." Albert said.Hearing that it was the playful Raymond, Velma knew that it was nothing good.But since Albert had personally c
Velma left the room with the help of her friend. If by now she did not know what was going, she will really be a fool.The moment they stepped out of the room, the door to the opposite room was also flung open.Albert came out looking stunning in his suit.Velma happened to look in that direction and their eyes locked. Albert could not hide the surprised look on his face.Velma too was shocked. She has always known that Albert was stunning, but seeing him dressed smartly in a different colour from his usual black, she had no words to describe his beauty.Seeing that two were looking at each other and even forgot about them, Raymond and Brenda shared a gaze before drifting away slowly. They could only act as backdrops for the loving couples.The public display in the air was too suffocating, their single hearts could not take it.But they were happy because their efforts seemed to pay off.Albert did not even notice that his bro
After a scrumptious and romantic dinner, Albert and Velma left. They could not stay at the hotel since they needed to see their son.When they reached home, Velma flanged herself on the sofa in an exhaustion.Although she did nothing the whole time other than dancing and eatinge, she was mentally tired.Her emotions were on a roller coaster the whole evening and her mind was tired.She could not believe that Albert was now her boyfriend. Dylan now had a half complete family, once they got married, he will have a complete family.Marriage! When that word crossed Velma's mind, she was suddenly shocked. Why would she think about marriage when they have only gotten together.She shook her head to remove that weird thought from her mind."What are you thinking about?" Albert's voice was seductive, Velma turned her head to look at him and could not help but swallow a lump of saliva that had unknowingly clumped at her throat."H
Alvin looked at the black and white lines on the paper. Although he understood every letter and word on it, but he could for some unknown reasons not understand what it was talking about. He could not believe what he was seeing. His face was as white as snow. Even the hand that was holding the document trembled slightly. Velma was standing there, looking at them coldly. She had never forgotten the humiliation she suffered when she went to explain things to Alvin, only to find out that he was dating her worst enemy. Be it not for Albert being by her side, she would have done something terrible. Alvin looked at Winnie, his eyes and aura cold. Winnie trembled. She knew that she was done for. There was nothing she could do. She looked at Velma with bitterness. How she wished for her to die. She wondered why that person did not just finish her off. Alfred had also seen the papers and his expression was even worse.
"What really happened? All I remember was that I was drinking tea with some man who seemed to know a lot about my mom, but everything else after that is a blur." Velma said, trying to, as hard as she could to remember exactly what happened.But all she got was a splitting headache."Don't think about it baby. Everything else is okay. Don't worry about it. What matters is that you are fine and well." Albert consoled as he patted her on back."Well..." Velma did not know what to say."Where is my son? How is he?" She asked nervously when she remembered that her son was taken away from her."He is alright. He is with mom.""I have a surprise for you." Albert said as he smiled mysteriously."What surprise?""Just a moment."Albert tapped on his phone screen a few times and the ward door was pushed open from the outside.Velma looked at the door wondering what the surprise was.Then, a woman wi
Seeing that the man was dead, Christine breathed a long sigh of relief. Now everything was over. Albert fired a shot at the door and pushed it open. He rushed in. It was dark he had to use a his phone's flash light. He find Velma lying unconscious on the floor and immediately rushed to carry her up. Albert rushed out at a lightning speed when he felt that her pulse was faint. At a private hospital under Gulf, Albert was fidgeting nervously as he watched the emergency room. He did not know what he will do if Velma will not make it. Christine had also rushed to the hospital. She had not seen her daughter for a very long time and had not imagined that their first meeting will be like this. She watched Albert as he walked back and forth nervously. "Hey, can you relax, Velma will definitely be alright." Christine said. Albert looked at the woman who looked exactly like Velma and nodded his head. He now understand
By the time Albert landed in the city, one hour had already passed. He did not know how Velma was doing and he was worried sick.He had mobilezed all of his men and they were on the standby.The moment he landed, his phone rang. He had switched it off whole he was in the plane and had only powered it on.He did not know the caller and quickly picked up the phone.He thought that he might be the person who took Velma."Hello.""Albert, thank God if found you. I'm Christine, Velma's mom." A female voice came over the phone.Albert was shocked for a moment before he came back to his senses."Aunt..." He called out."Where are you now?"I just landed. I'm at the airport now.""Have you heard about Velma?""Yes, just is why I especially came back. Does aunt know anything?" Albert asked. He sense that he would not came him if she did not have anything to say."Yes, I never imagined
Tom had changed their base. Although Christine did not ask anything and obediently followed, she knew that it must be Albert's doing because she had not heard any negative news concerning her daughter. Tom had tried to find out how Albert managed to discover his identity but he was not successful. He could live as frustration thinking that there was someone better than him. *** Today was a Saturday and Dylan wanted to go to the museum, although Albert was out of town for business, Velma decided to have fun with her son. Albert had arranged a lot of men to protect her so she knew that she will be safe. She also called Brenda and Nana who readily agreed. As they were having fun, a commotion occurred at the museum pack. There was a gunshot. People started to panic as they moved in different directions, shouting and screaming in fear. Velma was also startled, held her son in her arms and started to run aimlessly. Soon, she had parted from
The news about Velma's video had been taken down and no was talking about it. It was as if it never happened and people marvelled at how powerful the Bill family was. Most of them had been waiting to laugh at Velma after she was thrown out of the family, but they disappointed. At exactly 7AM, Albert's phone rung. I was the same unknown number calling. His lips curled into a smile as he picked up the call. "Hello.." "Hello Mr Albert, I hope you have been great for the past three years." Tom said over the phone. "Of course Mr Tom West, I have been doing great." Albert said, without hiding the fact that he knew the man's identity. Tom's heart almost stopped. How the hell did Albert find out about his identity. He was well hidden and only few people knew of his identity. But his shock did not last for long. "Hehee Mr. Albert, what are you talking about?" Who is Tom West." Tom feigned ignorance but in reality, his heart
Velma was still in disbelief. How could there be such a maniac. She don't remember offending anyone. Why would someone hate her so much? Albert looked at her and embraced her tightly. "What are we going to do?" Velma asked with a trembling voice. She was not ready to lose the love of her life. "We are if course going to be together." Albert said and gave her a reassuring kiss. "But..." Velma tried to say something. Albert blocked her words as he captured her lips. "No buts. Just trust me okay." Albert said. "Okay." "Now go to rest, I still have things to take care of." Albert said as he tucked her in the blanket. "Then can you tell then to bring my son, I what to sleep with him." "Okay." Albert said and left the room. He told aunt Mary to take Dylan to his room before he went to his study room. Although this was his family home, he had his own study room just opposite his bedroom.
Since it was a child's birthday, there was not a lot of speeches. Dylan was taken to be shown to the guests and after cutting the cake, he was taken back to his room since he was already asleep. To entertain the guests, the Bill family had prepared short videos if Dylan when he was growing up. Everyone marvelled at how cute he was even when he was still an infant. "Wow, that child will be a killer once he grows up. He took all his mother's and father's good points." Everyone was amazed. But suddenly, the screen change. The videos of a toddler were replaced by videos of two people doing the unthinkable act that could make one heart race. The sound coming from the video made people to cover their ears. "What is going on? Why would someone play such a video?" "This is too embarrassing. We still have children around." Suddenly a woman's face was shown on the screen. It was breathtaking and the person who was fil
Today marked one year since baby Dylan was born. Everyone was excited since it marked the beginning of a new life in Bill's family. The preparations were ongoing since morning. Although Velma wanted a small party for her baby, Julius did not accept that as he had a lot of friends he wanted to invite. He had also forced Velma and Albert to get a marriage certificate and they were now a married couple although they were yet to hold a wedding. Dylan was a little genius and by now he could utter complete sentence. Everyone loved him and doted on him. Especially the Bill's, they spoiled him more than they had spoiled Nana. Nana and Velma were now friends and they could sometimes go shopping together. "How do you feel now that your son is turning a year older?" Brenda asked her friend as she applied make up on her. They were currently at Bill's Manor where the celebration will be taking place. "I feel like an old granny
