Anthony picked up his iPad from his big glass desk and alas. Many notifications are already filed on it. Many of his staff have messaged him as well. He took a glance at the main core of the message to check what the great news is all about because it seems to be great news.He clicked on the notifications to check the news. "It is with pleasure that we are announcing the launching of a great refinery factory for crude oil with a contract worth 100 million dollars. We, therefore, implore different prestigious organizations across the state to apply for the contract. We wish you the best of luck," the contract read. Anthony let out a sweet smile, he knew that indisputably the contract would be won by his company. "Now, I think I am a little bit relaxed, let me get dressed to attend to grandmother and father Oliver Smith," he said and walked towards his gigantic wardrobe and took a t-shirt and shorts, got dressed, and prepared to walk out of his room, though excessively famished, he
"Sandra, I understand what you are going through and honestly it is beyond me, if I knew the reason myself, I would have informed you, all this is at the discretion of the authorities," Sandra replied empathically. "Well, could you please, help me to confirm from the director and I will be extremely glad if I could speak with the director," Sandra pleaded, she didn't know that Patricia herself was oblivious to the sudden termination of the contract with them. "I am sorry, I am not permitted to do that, and in addition, In the future, you or anyone from Smith International Company would not be given access to this company. I apologize, however, this is at the discretion of the director, and I would appreciate it if you could take your leave now. I am sorry Sandra," Sandra was speechless, she didn't know what to do. "Thank you, Patricia, however, if there is any change in the future, please, do not hesitate to inform us," She said and stood up to leave. "I'm sorry Sandra, please do
When Sandra got back to Mr and Mrs Oliver Smit Villa, who had been waiting to hear positive feedback from her and before she could utter anything, the melancholy look on her face had depicted the outcome of her visit to Annex Group of Companies to Mr and Mrs Oliver Smith. "I am sorry grandfather and grandmother, I couldn't get the reason for the termination of the contract with our company and unfortunately, I was informed that anyone from Smith International Company wouldn't be given access into Annex Group of Company next time," Sandra explained with teary eyes, she was well convinced that she might lose her position as the head of managers of Smith International Company. "What, do you mean you are unfit for the position bestowed to you, you couldn't even get any cogent reason for the termination of our contract with Annex Group of Companies, this is a big disappointment, Sandra," Mrs Oliver Smith yell as she paced to and fro in the sitting room. "I am sorry grandmother," Sandra
The following day, all of the managers started preparing as every one of them rehearsed how to speak to the manager and the director of the Annex Group of companies.It was Jeffrey and Dave, the managers of blocks and cements and clothing accessories that first went, however, they were not allowed to enter through the gate of Annex Group of Companies. The security guards informed them that they shouldn't ever show their face again and it was with shame that they dragged their feet and left Annex Group of Companies.With bitterness in their heart, they informed Mr and Mrs Oliver Smith who were deeply disappointed and it seems that all hope are getting lost for them, they would have contacted the managing director themselves, however, since he was new and he was still concealing his identity, they didn't know which ways to go about it than to keep sending their managers who were always going to sign the contract. "I guess it is high time I went to Annex Group of Companies, I am handso
Chapter 21 Ella kept on attending to customers. She was extremely exhausted after the customers left, she was a bit glad as she walked sluggishly down to her small office.She was so weak and tired and she took a small fruit juice drink from the refrigerator, she didn't know when she gulped everything down her throat. She was glad that she made so much money today from the little tips the customers gave her. "Keep the change," actually helps her a lot. She thought deeply about her first customer, Anthony, and although she regretted her actions towards him. However, she knew that Anthony had good hands. H had opened the way for the rest of the customers to give her money, even though she still felt some little pain from the slap Williams gave her, she still was happy that at least for some days now, she wouldn't go hungry. She touched her tummy as she thought that soon she would be a mother and she wouldn't want her child to go through the childhood experience she had. She though
"Ella, are you fine?" Ella heard as she opened her eyes and saw Williams staring at her, she couldn't believe that it was Williams, the manager of Bentley guest house that was asking her if she was fine, but something struck by his appearance, The blood bruises are no longer on his face, the bruises are now covered with plastered and he looked much refreshed."He might have gone to the hospital," Ella thought."Good afternoon, Williams," Ella greeted as she immediately stood up without bothering to reply to his question."I am sorry, I was just tired, I will leave now," Ella stated and immediately tried to hurry out of her small office. "No o, it's fine, since there is no customer," Ella was shocked, if it was Williams, the manager or maybe his brain had reset because of the beating given to him by Anthony. She thanked Anthony in her heart. "You can take any drink of your choice, and meet Annabel to give you something to eat," Williams stated, this must indeed be a dream to her, she
"Pregnant? Like are you for real?" Williams asked surprisingly. "See Williams, this is exactly why I need your help, firstly, she needs to stay out of this vicinity and get a job that will cater for her needs, aside from that, she needs an apartment to stay in, I just want you to help her, please," Rita pleaded. Ella was sitting down playing unconsciously with her fingernails as she looked sober, she prayed in her heart that Williams should accept to help her."Well, because of her condition, Rita, I do really need to tell you the truth, a waitress job is too tedious, I am afraid, she wouldn't be able to cope with it," Williams stated pitifully, he wanted to ask questions further about who was responsible for her pregnancy, however, he kept mute about it, he thought he could always ask later. "Please, don't think about my condition, I promise, I can work, I can do any work, I am a strong girl," Ella interrupted as she pleaded with Williams. "Well, if you say, you will be employed
"Have I ever lied to you before now, my precious billionaire daughter? And don't you ever mention that your wretched father again. He would never be rich," Helga stated with a wicked grin. Logan Owen was Miranda's father, he was so poor, lazy and wretched, when Helga was with him, he hardly provide them basic necessities of life, and most time Helga would run back to her mother to ask for food and because her saloon business wasn't moving well, she would use most of the money she got to take care of herself. However, after she had Miranda, things became much tougher for her as she rarely had nothing to eat and her miserable husband Logan Owen wouldn't do anything about it. When she was tired and couldn't cope, about the time Miranda was about 3 years of age, Helga packed out of Logan Owen's house and moved to her mother's place and since then she had been taking care of her daughter, Miranda with the help of her mother. However, when Vivian Max, her mother, died, she was saddled
"Make it ten million dollars or I will go nowhere with you!" Logan responded with a firm voice. "Deal! Just let my daughter get well!" Helga pleaded. "Do it right away then! And I will go with you!" Logan responded. Immediately, Helga scrolled through her bank application, Logan Owen bank details were already saved on Helga’s phone. Logan Owen's phone vibrated giving a loud SMS bank alert. He checked it and he confirmed it was true.“Great! Well paid,” Logan Owen gave out a sweet unprecedented smile. Helga looked at him with pleading eyes, arrogance disappeared from her. “You can go, I will meet you at the hospital later,” Logan Owen said to Helga. Helga couldn’t take what Logan said, she wanted Helga to follow her to the hospital immediately. “Oh! Don’t do this please, I need you right away!” Helga pleaded.“You are beginning to do what I detest, I said, I will meet you, just go and give me my peace. I will join you at The Pride Hospital soon,” Logan Owen yelled at Helga. Helg
Bruce Harry contacted different doctors to come and take the DNA test of Miranda to confirm if he is the biological father of her because of the response he got from the doctor that his blood wasn't a match with his daughter. Without wasting much time, the tests were conducted by three different doctors in three different hospitals on the same day.**** Anthony, while thinking about Ella, slept off. When he woke up, he was already famished. Mrs and Mr Oliver Smith had already gone to their house, as they couldn't get any response from Anthony. They tried contacting Bruce, however, Bruce wasn't in the right state of mind to pick up his calls. "Hi, Helga, how are you doing?" Mrs Karl Oswald asked as Helga finally picked up her call."Good evening, grandmother," Helga greeted Mrs Karl Oswald."Have you heard from Mirabel? We have been trying her line since, her number has been off, my grandson has refused to open his door as he locked himself in the room since we heard the announcem
"What did I do to deserve this?" Miranda asked as she realized that Anthony had truly posted the termination of the wedding on all his social media platforms."Get out of my room right away or I'll throw you out!" Anthony threatened, his eyes became red and fierce. Fears ran through Miranda as she sighted Anthony's face. She became scared of what Anthony could do and wore back one of her dresses. "Please, don't do this to me, don't put me to shame, remember our unborn child, please my dear husband," Miranda pleaded. Hearing that from Miranda got Anthony pissed off more. He walked up to her and dragged her out of his room."Miranda started weeping, however, she realized one of the maids might be coming, so she quickly stood up from the tiled floor and walked out to her car. She started driving the car towards her house, as her phone started ringing, she ignored all the calls and let the phone ring as much as it could, her brain was filled up about the shame and disgrace that would be
"Oh! Was that the reason you requested I must be present, just to waste my time! Oh! I see, Mr Anthony Oswald, I am not interested," Ella replied and sashayed elegantly out of Anthony's present. Anthony felt so pained, that he kept mute and walked into his office. He felt so bad as his ego was brutally bruised. Ella walked without speaking to anyone and she could hear a footstep behind her. It was the manager of her company."I am so sorry, ma'am, I never knew it would be such a short meeting," Liam's Group of Company said immediately as she walked up to Ella opening the door of her car to go in."Oh! No! It's fine, I understand, once there is any issue, don't hesitate to inform me, please, I will handle everything!" Ella said affirmatively and got into her car after their conversation. She drove back to her office with different thoughts in her heart. She wished she had given Anthony an audience. She started thinking about how Anthony had helped her in the past, if it wasn't for A
Liam's manager walked to the hall after she ended her call with Ella, she was extremely disturbed as such a thing had never happened before. The other managers have started grumbling among themselves.Different thoughts kept disturbing Liam Group of company managers, and wondering what to do to make Ella attend the meeting. She really doesn’t want to lose the contract because she knows how beneficial the contract will be for their company. “Any good news maám” The other manager inquired from her immediately as she walked into the hall. “Nothing yet, but I will sort it out!” Liam's Group of manager assured her subordinate. After the call Ella had with the manager, she started contemplating why Anthony would have to react that way.“This is my first time being the director of this company, it wouldn't be fair if I made them lose this contract, but I do not want to set my eyes on that young man any longer. I do not want to remember the beautiful moments we had together. If I keep on
Hearing the honk of the car, she adjusted her address, exposing more of her small boobs, and tried adjusting her makeup. She wanted to look extremely gorgeous to Anthony. She practiced some sexy sitting positions and seduction manners she learnt from the internet. She still looked like she used to look and it wasn't obvious she was pregnant at all. "What do I say to him when he comes, how do I initiate a conversation he would fall in love with?" Miranda started contemplating what to say to Anthony that would make him give her a chance or properly get into his bed. She felt so horny and she needed some strokes from Anthony's dick. Anthony was exhausted after the busy hectic day, after the event, he was meant to go home straight to rest, however, he went to his office to get some jobs done. All he wanted was to get home, order delicious delicacies, and then rest afterward. He came down from his car and walked elegantly to his grandparent's apartment to say hi before going into his b
It was the end of the event and different congratulatory messages had been accorded to Ella. In fact it was as if the day was specifically for her."Congratulations ma'am" Marcus didn't have a choice but to say this, especially amid other managers of their companies. It was still like a dream to him when he saw Ella."Common, Marcus, come have a hug," Ella said as she summoned Marcus who was full of unprecedented shock. Anthony walked up to Ella as she was about to enter her ride. "Congratulations Miss Ella Liam," Anthony said. Ella was at a loss for words for a second before giving him a response. "Mr Anthony Oswald, right? Thank you," she said and extended a hand for a handshake as she pretended like she never met Anthony before. "You can drive now," Ella said to her driver after a slight handshake with Anthony and Immediately she slammed the door against Anthony as her driver drove her home. Anthony was mesmerized, he didn't know why Ella acted that way and why she pretended l
The Hall became more thunderous with claps when the whole managers of Liam Group of Companies started clapping and standing up hailing their new director with thunderous clap. "Ella, the director of the company I work for? Incredibly!" Marcus asked himself shockingly as he couldn't believe his team members hailing Ella. Ella got to the podium and took the Microphone from the master of the ceremony. Miranda and Helga seemed confused, they didn't really understand what was going on again. "Mum! What's happening? Why is that bitch up there again?" Miranda asked Helga, extreme shock of imbalances ran through her spine. "I don't understand either! Something is amiss really!" Helga responded. "Hi everyone, Good day, it's an honor to be in the front of your all once again today, my name is Ella Liam, the new director of Liam Group of Companies, before I proceed, I would appreciate if we could all stand up and give a minutes moment of solace to my late, precious my dear mother, Mrs Skyl
"This lady's face looks very familiar, apart from her deep resemblance to Cassandra, she looks like the maid I chased out of my Villa for lying that my own grandchild impregnated her, I am sure it can't be her, just some stupid normal usual resemblance," Mrs Karl Oswald said as she kept listening to Ella's speech. Marcus was so happy to see Ella, now he had developed this deep affection for Ella, and sighting her, he was lost in deep thought. He thought that Ella was indeed the most beautiful lady right now in the universe. He gawked at her as he listened to her beautiful speech. "This our new director is an epitome of beauty, I never knew the late director, Mrs Skyler Liam has such a beautiful daughter," the other Liam's manager sitting beside Marcus said amidst themselves, some of them had met Ella when she went to the company to introduce herself as the new director of their company, however, as at that time, Marcus had not started working in the company and hadn't gotten a chanc
