Giving Up

I arrived at Madam Katie's house feeling completely defeated. The drive there had been filled with thoughts of failure, of letting her down, and of how I was spiraling. As I walked through the front door, I could hear her voice from the living room, pleading with the investors on my behalf. I stood silently in the hallway, watching her from behind, feeling even more guilty with every word she spoke."Yes, I understand your concerns," Madam Katie said into the phone. "Please, give us a little more time. We are addressing the issue and will come back stronger.”She turned and saw me standing there, and our eyes met.Overwhelmed with guilt, I fell to my knees, tears streaming down my face. "I'm so sorry, Madam Katie. I've failed you. I’ve let everyone down."She rushed over to me, her face a mix of concern and kindness. "Get up, Carina. This isn't your fault," she said, helping me to my feet."I can't do this," I sobbed. "I want to quit. You should take over. I’m ruining everything."Mad

The Confrontation.

Madam Katie decided it was time to confront Martins. She couldn't stand by and watch Carina suffer without doing something. She called Martins and arranged a meeting at her house.When Martins arrived, she didn't waste any time. "Martins, how is your relationship with Carina?" she asked, her tone firm.Martins looked down, not saying a word."She told me you two broke up," Madam Katie continued, watching him closely.Martins nodded slowly. "She found out on her own."Madam Katie's patience wore thin. She stood up, her voice rising. "Why didn't you tell her yourself? Why did you let her find out this way?"Martins flinched but remained silent."You left her in pain, Martins. You disappeared and tried to run away from it. You should have faced it earlier, explained everything to her.""I was too ashamed," Martins said quietly. "I couldn't face her."Madam Katie’s eyes flashed with anger. "What are you going to do now?""I’m going to stay away from her," Martins said, his voice barely ab

A Drunken Feeling

Martins sat alone in his room, the weight of his sorrow pressing down on him. He clutched a bottle of whiskey, taking long sips. The silence was broken only by his occasional sobs and the distant sound of his assistant, Mark, knocking on the door.“Martins, please come out,” Mark’s voice was muffled but pleading. “This isn’t the way to handle things.” " Please can you leave me alone, I want to be alone' Martins Yelled but mark didn't stop knocking. " Martins...I know you are hurting right now,if you want I can call her here " Mark insisted. " Don't..." " Please... Please,We have a lot to take care of, You can't keep sulking up" Martins ignored him, sinking deeper into his despair. The knocks continued, relentless but futile. After what felt like an eternity, the knocks ceased, leaving Martins alone with his thoughts.Minutes later, Martins heard another voice joining the fray—Tom, his best friend.“Martins, it’s Tom. Open the door, man. We need to talk.”The combination of con

A Tough Fight Ahead

I didn’t sleep at all last night. My mind was racing, and my heart was heavy. But somewhere in the chaos, an idea began to form. By morning, I was certain of what needed to be done. I immediately requested an urgent meeting with the investors, directors, and Madam Katie. I needed to turn everything around, and this was my only shot.The conference room filled quickly, tension palpable in the air. Madam Katie sat beside me, her presence a comforting reminder that I wasn’t alone. The investors and directors watched me with hard eyes, waiting for me to speak.I took a deep breath and began, “Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I want to start by apologizing for the recent issues we’ve faced.”One of the directors cut me off, his impatience clear. “Get to the point, Carina. We don’t have time for apologies.”I nodded, trying to keep my composure. “I’ve come up with a new proposal that I believe will turn things around for our company.”I began to outline my plan, detailing the

Band For Band

Nelly and Maria sat in Nelly’s living room, the lights dimmed, their faces illuminated by the glow of the TV screen. They replayed the clip for the third time, relishing every moment of Carina’s embarrassment in the boardroom. The room was filled with their laughter, sharp and biting, echoing through the space.“It’s perfect,” Nelly said, wiping tears of mirth from her eyes. “I never thought it would work out this well.”Maria nodded, a satisfied smile on her face. “It was bound to happen. Carina’s been too confident for too long. She needed to be brought down a notch.”Nelly leaned back, a sense of accomplishment washing over her. “And the best part is, we’re just getting started.”Maria’s phone buzzed, and she glanced at the screen. “Speaking of which, I have some news. The competitor we tipped off wants to compensate you for your involvement. They’re offering you a top office in their company.”Nelly’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you serious? That’s incredible. This is one of Carin

The Bad Seed Planted

Mr. Blake, a shareholder and part of Nelly and Maria's team, called them with urgency in his voice. "Carina is meeting with the board of directors tomorrow. She's been persuading many of them, and it's working. You need to act now."Nelly, always quick to action, nodded though he couldn’t see it. "We can't let her win. We'll take care of it."Maria chimed in, "We'll visit each of the directors tonight. We need to spoil her plans and plant doubts about her capabilities."The two women set out immediately. Their first stop was Mr. Harrison’s house. He was a key board member, and if they could turn him against Carina, it would have a domino effect.Maria knocked on the door, and after a few moments, Mr. Harrison opened it, looking surprised to see them. “ Maria, what brings you here and who is your friend?’ Maria smiled, though it didn't reach her eye “ We need to talk about Carina. Can we come in?" Maria made sure to divert the question on who Nelly was. Mr. Harrison hesitated but ste

The Seed effect

I stormed into Madam Katie's office, feeling the weight of the board meeting pressing down on me. She and Mandy were already there, waiting with expectant looks."What's the matter?" Madam Katie asked, her tone gentle yet concerned.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my voice. "The board meeting didn't go well. The directors were distant, almost hostile. It felt like they didn't trust me anymore."Mandy's eyes widened in shock. "I thought you already convinced them! What did they say?""It was more about what they didn't say," I replied, frustration evident in my tone. "Their reactions were just... off. It felt like someone had planted a bad seed in their minds and ruined their perception of our proposal."Madam Katie frowned. "Did they give any specific reasons for their skepticism?""Not really. It was just a bunch of uncertain feelings," I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I feel like someone is sabotaging us from the inside."Mandy looked worried. "What are you going

The Vote

The day of the election finally arrived. Mandy called me in the morning, offering some advice. I listened carefully, grateful for her support. After dropping Leah at school, I headed straight to the meeting.When I arrived, all 26 members of the company were present, including Madam Katie and Mandy, who were also shareholders. Madam Katie, the chief shareholder, began the meeting with a speech about the importance of the day's vote. Her voice was firm and commanding, setting a serious tone. “This meeting is crucial for the future of our company,” she said. “We must handle it with the utmost professionalism.”But as soon as she finished, an argument broke out over whether the election should be open or closed. Voices clashed, and the room became chaotic. Board members shouted at each other, turning the atmosphere tense and hostile.My eyes met Maria’s across the room. She had a strange smile on her face, one that I couldn’t understand. I quickly looked away and stood up. “I suggest the

Mixed Feelings

After the intense meeting, I couldn't avoid the tension in the room when I looked at Martins. We hadn’t seen each other since our breakup and the horrible allegations that he was the man who had raped me. The air between us felt thick and heavy.Martins approached me, his eyes pleading. “Carina, can we talk?”I hesitated but finally nodded. “Alright.”We stepped into a quieter corner of the room. “Thank you for standing up for me in there,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.Martins shook his head. “I was just doing my part as a shareholder. It was the right thing to do.” " Carina ..."He looked like he wanted to say more, but I cut him off. “Martins, I appreciate your help today. But I need to focus on my plans and the company now. I think it’s best if we put the past behind us and pretend our relationship never happened.”Martins’ eyes widened in shock. “Carina, are you serious?”“Yes,” I said firmly. “I can’t let personal matters interfere with my work. It’s better this way.”

Jealousy Looms

After the election, Maria found herself contemplating her next move. Carina had emerged victorious, thanks in part to Martins' unexpected vote. Determined to regroup, Maria decided to pay a visit to Mr. Blake, who had spearheaded the opposition against Carina.She knocked on Mr. Blake's office door, and he gestured for her to enter. "Maria, come in. What's our next step?" he asked brusquely, cutting straight to the point.Maria took a seat, her mind racing. "Honestly, I'm not sure. Carina's support seems stronger than we anticipated."Mr. Blake leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "We need a new strategy. Have you spoken to Nelly?"Maria shook her head. "Not yet. I haven't even told her that Carina won this time. Besides, Nelly now works at Carina's rival company."Mr. Blake chuckled, impressed. "Ah, Nelly. Always making power moves. I admire her ambition."Maria felt a pang of jealousy at the praise Nelly received, but she kept her composure. "Yes, sh
