2024-10-29 19:42:56The unexpected visit resulted in Logan remaining in his office for the rest of the day. He had even asked Natalia to cancel all his meetings and then he banned everyone from coming to his floor and office.
He spent a few hours signing off documents to finalise the shipments. His company made about thrice its normal profit three times in a month, and today was one those times. They referred to it as the Rush Hour, that was when all their ships went off for shipments of different goods to different places across the world.
He started his business as a company that designed and sold ships, and then he upgraded to transportation of goods. He made money both ways, but shipping was his gold mine.
As soon as he finished signing off the deals, he placed everything else on hold.
The man's visit had taken his mind off all the things that had him on edge earlier, he now had

Zoe was minding her own business and heading off to her car after escaping family drama between the Khumalos and Davids. They were all pointing fingers over who was responsible for Kyle Davids' poisoning.She could not believe she was back here after she left yesterday, she did not even make it to the station before receiving another call.She was tired of all these cases with no leads; there was still no progress with the shooting at La Café, and the families of the dead victims wanted answers, and the only survivor at the scene did not see anything.Jorge Billings' shooting on the other hand was a perfectly orchestrated crime, there were no traces at all, the cameras surrounding his area were off the entire day, and no one saw anything; Jorge was the only person who could tell her what happened.She only hoped that he lived to tell the tale, so far she k

"The government must be paying you well if you can afford eating at one of Logan's restaurants," David muttered as he joined his twin sister at the table near the window.Zoe shrugged, taking a sip of her coffee, it was her second one since she arrived, and she had to admit that it was good. "And aren't we too old for this?" She asked, referring to their matching brown leather jackets.David chuckled, picking up his menu. "I can spend the price for one meal here in another restaurant and serve my entire family and still have change."She rolled her eyes at him, for someone who made thousands in an hour, he surely had a problem with spending his money. His wife was also earning quite well, their bond was fully paid, they had no car instalments, and their kids went to public schools; he should be enjoying his money. "David, stop complaining and order whatever you want, I'm paying."

One thing about Five Stars was that it attracted people of high class, people who knew people, and as much as that was good for business, it was bad when the owners just wanted to have a quiet time.Logan was not exactly dressed to impress, and his perculiar dress code seemed to attract more attention than he required.This was his least favourite place, but after the encounter with Zoe, he did not want to deal with people, especially at the office, not after lashing out at Lola and Natalia.

Logan arrived in his home tired. It was around 8p.m., he had made sure that he was the last one to leave the office especially since it was spring and days were longer. He always left his office at 7p.m. when the sun set.Nodding at the butler as a form of greeting, he entered his house and walked to his sitting room, and his steps faltered as he took in the picture in front of him, and his blood boiled. Dirty dishes were on the coffee table, unfinished food and food crumbs covered his table. There were dirty socks on the large couch and empty cans covered the floor. "CAMERON!" He barked as he took heavy steps up the stairs.He dropped his suitcase and jacket on his bed before he strolled out of his room to continue the search for his brother. "CAMERON!" He barked and pushed Cameron's door harshly, causing it to bang against the wall, and then he froze at the door, pursing his lips together. Cameron jumped out

The place was quiet.Too quiet for her comfort.She tried to open her eyes, but something restricted her from doing so. She had been blindfolded. She tried to move, but her arms and legs were bound.She tried to think of a solution, but nothing came up. For the first time in her life, she felt stupid. She felt useless.All her life, she had proven to be able by herself. She had proven that she did not need anyone to achieve her goals, neither did she need anyone to come to her rescue, especially men. However, on the contrary, it was quite the opposite. "Jorge!" She whispered, her voice inaudible from fear.She took a deep breath, the smell of urine and dirty water hitting her nostrils and causing her to cringe and choke on her saliva. She coughed, the process not helping at all as she tried to stabilize her breaths. Oh, Jorge! Whe

As usual, Parker's Enterprises was busy. The ground floor was packed with employees moving up and down. Mosetsana and Natalia stood behind the reception desk, but had a new companion. It was a young looking coloured girl, probably around 20. She had shoulder-length black hair and big brown eyes. Unlike the two other women, she was very active and fast, and spoke too much. First day at work, and Natalia and Mosetsana were already tired of hearing her stories. "I'm just gonna take these to Mr Parker." She said hastily and hurried to the elevator.Natalia buried her face in her palms and groaned. "When is this day ending?!" She whined and looked at Mosetsana who just sighed and gave her the tell-me-about-it look."Thank God, it's lunch time." Mosetsana said and started packing her things. Natalia just sighed and nodded. She placed her elbow on the desk and leaned against her arm, staring at the door boringly as some of her col
