"Why are these rascals out to ruin me? My office is now empty thanks to them" The CEO said looking at the files his personal Assistant just handed him all he could see were losses, losses, losses.
"Sir, I don't know why but I have decided not to work here anymore, here's my resignation letter"
"huh? Even you, you're leaving me, I need you here with me now more than ever, why do you have to resign, please reconsider your decision"
"Am so sorry sir, but I have a family and my kids are still so young, I don't want to incur the wrath of the country's biggest business empire on myself, the masked CEO personally warned me to disassociate with your family or get ready to bear the brunt and he promised me a job in his company"
"You don't have to fear him, I'll protect you, you're supposed to be my assistant, you are not supposed to be following his orders"
" Sir, I have made my decision, I will rather be safe than sorry" He moved closer to the table and dropped his resignation letter
"Are u sure about this?" CEO said picking up the letter.
"Yes"
"ok, you may leave, I can't force you to stay"
He turned back and left the CEO's Office, and went straight to the office he had already packed his stuff a briefcase, and the company's items in a box, he planned on dropping the company's belonging at the secretary's desk, but on getting to the desk he recalls that the secretary had long resigned.
*sigh
' what could the CEO have done for the Stone Empire Cooperation to be after his downfall' he thought. He dropped the box files on the dusty desks of the secretary's table and left the building.
Taking one last peek at the building he read out
"Soma International", he sighed 'What could he have to done to the Stone Empire, What?!' he turned his back and left on foot through the gates, praying in his heart never to return.
Williams Soma, a famous and well know distributor, Founder of the Soma Foundation that sponsors Physically challenged persons, He owned a lot of shares in other companies and hotels, He had tried to have one on one talk with the CEO of Stone Empire so that the misunderstanding can be solved ut he got denied each time.
He had Organized a press conference to announce his retirement in a month and the beginning of a new regime that would be headed by his daughter Evelyn Soma. The company was in a pitiable state as all its workers were leaving, with no one applying for the position the whole place was now desolate.
He sat down on his once prestigious seat, thinking deeply, nothing like this had ever happened before, All his efforts were going down the drain and there was nothing he could do. He found it hard to believe that all he ever worked for was destroyed easily by someone he doesn't even know, talk more of offending. He stood up from his seat and left the Company building, possibly, never to return.
.....,..
"mum, your husband's company is now desolate, what went wrong"
"He refused to tell me, I am as confused as you are he hasn't gone to the office for almost a month now"
"Why does this have to happen, the company got bankrupt before I could even become the CEO"
"Son, you're too selfish, you are not even thinking of your father, what he might be going through, you're thinking of just yourself"
"To hell with him, the only reason why I pretended to be his son is to get that company, now that the company is gone, what's the use pretending, I better take all I can and make a run for it, what do you think mum?"
"I'll have to do something because I can't sit here and watch my hard work go to waste, but I can't possibly run and leave your father, I still love him"
"yh right, you should do something mum, I only told you what I'll do if the company's condition doesn't improve,".
Mike left his mum to do her plotting. He was heading toward his sister's condo to seek more information since he couldn't get anything from his mother.
*ding dong
'no reply'
*ding dong
'no reply'
He brought out his phone and dialled his sister's number.
*bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz
"Hello, big bro, am at the airport, I'll call you later"
"shit, she didn't even let me speak before she ended the call"
He got in his car and sped off.
