Jesse commanded as they got out of the car to the office. About 200 workers whose office was at the Down floor had lined up and bowed their heads to greet their boss. Jesse randomly comes to the office. He loves to work at his secret hideout and office. He could spend months at the hideout without going out. He walked passed them without responding to any of their greetings. There were murmuring as he entered his elevator. Some were talking about his fashion sense whiles others about his handsomeness. The ladies were however in their dream world having all sort of useless thoughts. He took his private elevator and went to the last floor of his office he was once again met by about 250 workers all bowing and greeting him.

When will The deal with pear phones be finalized? He asked just as Amanda was about to leave his office. Sir please is next week she replied. Jobber make sure to prepare the documents and make sure our sample do not leak . You know we are competing with several rival companies. Yes sir the duo responded bowing. Jobber kindly call Mr Sui. Jobber gave a smile and rushed to call the driver. Mr Sui arrived at the management floor of Blacktech all sweaty. What's wrong Mr Sui? Nessa the office gossip asked Mr Sui laughing. He looks like a drowning mouse. Another person commented as Mr Sui passed by them. I think he has been dismissed. I wonder what he did . The workers at the accounting department murmured as they saw Mr Sui. He was ushered into the office by Jobber who has refuse to give him details about his meeting. He stood with his head lowered and obviously shaking. Jobber excused himself and went to the private canteen. Mr Sui are you ok? Jesse asked the man who looked like he was about to die.
