" How did I wake up late? Why did I forgot to set the alarm yesterday, today will be a busy day at the store and I am not there yet, today will be my first time of being late to the store, Jeez, this is so pathetic" She said

While walking to the bus stop She got to the bus stop, sat down and waited for a while but no buses showed up, then she checked her time

" Fuck, it's already late, the buses would have gone back to the bus station, and I don't have enough cash to order a cab, and to make things worse my bicycle wheels is wobbly" She said with a frown on her face

She stood up, pacing around looking for what to do Suddenly a white Lamborghini splashed a stinking dirty water on her dress, she screamed out in anger

" Are you blind" She yelled but the car kept moving, then an idea came into her mind, she smiled She quickly opened her bag, took her catapult with a stone, which she usually use to make the bullies pay for their deeds, she swiftly positioned it well and immediately strikes the stone against the back glass of the car She beamed after hitting the car with the stone

" Next time you won't try this nonsense with me" She smirked, looking at her stained clothes The car stopped immediately it got hit " Boss I think someone threw a stone at the glass" The driver said

" Of course I know, How dare! Reverse the car immediately I must teach that brat a lesson " The boss said

The driver reversed the car back to the front of Cindy The boss wind door the car window at behold it was Maxwell

" How dare you, do you know what damage you have done? Do you know how much this car cost? Maxwell asked

" I can ask you the same as well, Do you know how much I got this dress?" She questioned

" This is bullshit, I'm talking about my car, you are talking about your damm clothes" He replied

" You ruined my clothes with this stinking water, and you couldn't even apologize you just drove off, so that serves you right" She responded, pointing at the big pothole in her front

" Do you know who I am?" He asked Then she took her bag, opened her pause, took out the cash she had in her pause and checked looking at his face

" You ain't even drawn on the currencies I have at hand, so how will I know you" She replied

" Just get lost" He said and wind up his car window and the driver drove off

" My day have been ruined from the beginning and now my dress stinks so badly" She said covering her nose

Thankfully, her moms parlor is just five minutes walk away from here She decided to walk there faster, because people will make fun of her and they might think she is mad She cursed him for putting her into a tight spot

➰➰➰➰ { THE CAR }

" You should have told me, if I knew you splashed a dirty water on someone then I wouldn't have spoke so rudely to her, you should have drove more carefully, she must be really embarrassed in those dress" Maxwell said

"I'm sorry boss, there was a big pothole at the bus stop" The driver replied

" And so, you should have drove with caution, I'm not worried about what she did because she was so angry, Just drop me at my office and get the car repaired" He said

" Ok Boss" The driver said and drove ahead

💢💢💢💢 *THE EDWARD'S-EMPIRE* { HIS MAIN OFFICE }

The driver drove to the parking lot, the car halted while Maxwell got down, he adjusted his suit and walked into the big reception The receptionist greeted him but as usual he never respond Many employees greeted him on his way to the office, he didn't answered them he just walk off When he entered his office, his employees started whispering, some drop a bad comment on him like

👥 He always feels to big

👥 He is not an Almighty but behaving like one

👥 I just don't like his vibes Some said good things about him like....

👥 I wonder why he changed

👥 He was a very carefree person

👥 I feel his pain, he lost his mother at the beginning of his teens, then few years later he became the heir because his father was getting older

👥 I hope he changes to become someone we knew when he was a teen Some whispers to each other ears but some ignored the conversation and went back to their work

" I need a ginger tea, and I gave you some files yesterday where are they?" He asked

" I' I'I' " Yes the files are........ I'I'I

" Those files....... Mr Andrew, stuttered, he was out of words " What are you trying to say, Wait hold on, Are you not done with those files?" He asked

" Boss, it got late yesterday so I couldn't finish the last files but I'm done with the rest" Mr Andrew said reluctantly He was even shivering in fear, he was so scared of getting fired

" Boss, give me five minutes, I will be done, please don't get me fired, I'm begging you sir" Mr Andrew said

" Just five minutes if you ain't done then, you know the consequences" He replied

" Yes boss and I will ask the Tea man to get you, your ginger tea" Mr Andrew said

" No, bring the ginger tea in five minutes when coming back" He replied

" Understood boss" Mr Andrew said and quickly left the office

~ FIVE MINUTES LATER ~ A knock came on the door " Just come in" He said Mr Andrew came in... bowed his head again He dropped the ginger tea on the table and presented the files to Maxwell

" Next time this happens I won't take it lightly, I know you to be competent that was why you were hired in the first place, so be careful if you don't want to get fired" He replied

" Thank you boss" He bowed his head in respect " Follow me to the security office I need to get some serious job done" Maxwell said and stood up, Mr Andrew followed him quietly

➿➿➿➿ THE SECURITY OFFICE** Mr Andrew opened the door, while Maxwell walked in The security men stood up immediately bowing their heads in respect

" I just need to see the cameras of each floor in this building" from one branch to another" Maxwell said

" Yes boss" One of the security men responded

" Now all of you are done for" He said in his mind

" Stop here, this was when I walked into my office" He said

He gathered all the CCTV footage off everyone into a flash drive and left and he was followed by Mr Andrew

" Call of the branches in the building, except the receptionist area" He said and entered his office

Mr Andrew quietly gathered everyone, who were more than sixty people, some sat down at the reception because his office is only located in the 12th floor, so it has a big reception, while some stood at the door of his office

They all wondered why they were called but no one had a clue about what was going to happen

Some were already shivering, some were so scared and so on Mr Andrew told the 11th floor to go in, they were 10 of them, so they went in

➕➕➕➕➕ When they got in, they bowed their heads down in fear Maxwell stood up with his laptop on his hand and gave it to their leader, they watched it but he couldn't comprehend it

" Boss I don't understand anything" Their leader said " Are you blind, what are they doing in this video? He asked

" My workers were discussing about something which I don't know about " The leader replied

" Will you guys talk or should I He paused looking at their faces which was in fear, He smirked

" Boss we, we, we..... " We were just discussing about... yes talking about...... " Boss we can explain... I.I.I

They stammered... knowing fully were of the outcome

" Since you guys ain't ready to speak up then I will do the talking" He replied

He removed the flash drive from his laptop, then he played the video again but this time, their conversation was heard, they were all shocked and wondering where he got that from except from their leader and his assistant because they were not involved in the conversation

" You guys must be wondering where I got this recording from but you don't have to worry" He said

Unknown to them, he kept a secret recorder hidden inside their offices and everywhere in the building to monitor them The eight employees, quickly knelt down

" We are sorry sir, this will never happen again" One of the employees said They all started to beg for forgiveness, pleading their boss but he refused to listen

" The eight of you are all fired, this is a business institute not a market ground, but you turned it into a market place, and you all dared to speak rudely behind my back, what effrontery? This will be a big lesson to the remaining employees, you have so many pending assignments but you left that, and started saying several things about me, I own his company and I can do whatever pleases me you don't have the right to gossip about me" He said

" You know what I don't have anything more to say, just vacate my office with immediate effect" He snapped They wanted to plead again but he used his hand gestures so they shut up and left, leaving their leader and his assistant

" Get back to your work" He said and they left Another branch was called inside till they were left with nothing He fired twenty five employees and they vacated his company immediately and never to come back Mr Andrew came in immediately

" Get their termination letter and send it to them, and prepare a board meeting with the hiring managers straight away" He said
