Mr. Leonard was literally panting in anger. The anger, already simmering beneath the surface, surged like a tidal wave upon laying eyes on Megan.“Where the hell have you been, Megan? The company suffered a major downfall in your absence and for that reason someone hacked our database and removed a huge sum of money, limiting our ability to invest in growth opportunities”.“What?” Megan's body froze for a moment and her mouth fell agape. How was that even possible, the song group has the best security, not even an ant could sneak in?“You had one job Megan, one job and that is to take care of your mother's company, to make it seer into its highest limit, how could you be so irresponsible”? Pain was evident in Mr. Leonard’s voice as he quivered.“Irresponsible”, Megan repeated. Her eyes darted around, searching for some semblance of understanding in the whirlwind of events unfolding before her.“Yes, I traced your whereabouts just now, and it shows you were at the club”. He paused, loo

After her meeting and Immediately Elizabeth left Alex's office, she called up her father. She was brimming with excitement, she couldn't believe that Alex would agree so easily.She already made back plans to convince Alex if he had refused her. Mr. Chase picked up immediately his phone started ringing, he was nervous and quite reluctant when Elizabeth demanded to represent the company.He knew Elizabeth was capable and all, but this was Alexander Gold, one ruthless man feared by many.“Beth dear, how did it go?” Mr. Chase asked.“Father, you won't believe it!” Elizabeth screamed, but then she realised that she was still in an office, and so she quickly located the restroom.“Dad Alex agreed to work with us" Elizabeth announced“Are you serious Elizabeth or are you playing games now?” Mr. Chase asked in disbelief.“Believe me father this isn't a time to joke around, Alex agreed to work with us, not just that father, he was extremely kind and gentle with me, I didn't have to say so muc

Elizabeth inquired."Yes dear, I already have everything sorted out for now you must play your cards properly" Mr Chase answered."Okay dad, I should get going now" Elizabeth said."Dear, one more thing, keep away the most important details from Greg" Mr Chase stated."Why father?" Beth asked puzzled."Do as I say Beth, you will understand later on" Mr Chase replied. Elizabeth hugged her father as she left the house.When she got home, Greg tried to inquire about how her day went but she just gave him a neutral response.She told him Alex agreed

Chapter 54.Megan's father looked towards her with rage “What the actual hell Megan, how could you do something this terrible?” Mr. Leonard blasted.Megan's gaze remained fixed on the television. Alas, everything she was trying to avoid happened, Elizabeth found a way to tarnish her reputation dragging her name in the mud.Tears threatened to spill from her eyes on hearing her father's harsh words, but she held it back, she has made up her mind never to look weak in her dad's presence.“Don't you dare talk to her in that manner!” Loyd shouted at Leonard.“You will stay out of this Loyd, this is between Your sister and I" Leonard barked, standing furiously.“I won't, what kind of father are you? Don't you want to hear her own side of the story, you just already concluded that she did it!” Loyd retorted.Evelyn watched Megan, who remained quiet despite the chaos.“What else is there to ask, Loyd? Can't you see the evidence right in front of you, your sister has become something else bec
What the fuck!" Alex cursed out loud. Small gasps could be heard from the people present in the lobby.Who would dare to slap Alexander Gold? One akin to a demigod.Megan was so furious and couldn't care about anything at the moment as she removed her hat and shades still shooting daggers at Alex.Alex grabbed her hands, “Come with me, " he barked.“Let go of me this instant, Alex!” Megan retorted, pulling back.Seeing that Megan was standing on her ground and refusing to move, he angrily carried Megan, flipping her over his shoulders. “Put me down this minute Alex, have you gone mad?” Megan yelled, hitting Alex's shoulders as he carried her into his office.Immediately he closed the door behind him. He dropped Megan on the floor, and she pushed him using all her might.“You are crazy Alex, why did you bring me here?” She yelled.Alex was confused, what is going on with Megan? “Listen to me Megan” he said as he took small steps towards her.“You Alex, you have ruined everything for m
Alex froze as he wasn't expecting it, slowly he raised his hands and hugged her back, stroking her hair. Tears were starting to build up again in Megan's eyes as Alex's words echoed in her head.He wanted the best for her, he believed her, these were the only things Megan could think of.“As for the collaboration with Elizabeth, I swear on my dead parents it's all for you” Alex added.“Don't say that please Alex, I believe you” Megan countered.“Taking Elizabeth down wouldn't be so easy, but if you stand with me, I promise you we will be victorious” Alex stated.Megan pulled back slowly, wiping the tears away from her eyes as she nodded in affirmation to what Alex said. Her heart was already settled and the tension and panic she felt earlier was all gone. Her eyes locked with Alex's, and she couldn't help but admire his face. He was beautiful, the kind of beauty you can't take your mind off, her eyes trailed all over his face until her gaze rested on his lips.Without thinking, Megan
