"go ahead and kill yourself if that is what you want" he said and move forward towards her trying to loose his tie, Celina look at him

"what the heck are you saying are you suppose to encourage her or talk her out of it" she yelled.

"Mom, you really think she would do anything to hurt her pretty face which she cherish so much? she is just bluffing" he said still moving closer to her.

"do not come closer am not kidding am darn serious" she said moving back with the knife pointing towards him, he ignored her scream and went forward and snatch the knife from her hands then proceed to drag her ears

"you cunning fox, are you a kid? who are you threatening with a knife?" he said and throw the knife on the table he drag her out and their parent followed, the maids begin cleaning the place.

"Am supposed to be at work now but because of you am here"

"i did not ask you to be here, your mates are in their places of work but you choose to come here aren't you busy" she said releasing her ears from his torture

"am busy but because of my lazy and non-serious sister who thinks she still a child i have to leave my work" he faced their parent who look stressed out from what happened earlier

"i already inform Tom to make sure she goes to school so don’t worry about it and you make sure you pack all your stuff and go to school. you know Tom right? i already give him order not to be gentle with you, so you better cooperate with him"

"Arr.. i don’t want to go back to school i hate studying" she grunts

"come work in the company then i will put you in a good position"

"no i hate that more" she shouted.

“i hate you Maxwell she said and leave in anger. Maxwell bide his parents goodbye and left for the company.

"Good morning sir, these are the files containing information about the people who own the shares" his assistant, Micheal said the moment he got to the office

"call for a meeting with all the executives and make sure this stays within the upper office. he instructed and Micheal bows and left to carry out his instruction he sat down to go through the files on his table. after reading through he stood up and headed for the meeting, he came in and everybody stood up to acknowledge him

"sit" he said and they all sit he was about to say something when someone rushed in everybody attention turned to the intruder. Mr Philip walks in without acknowledging the fact that he is late and sat on his seat. Maxwell waited for him to sit before he continues.

"what happened to the shares, isn't it suppose to raise why is the opposite happening and when did B&B become a share holder? who is responsible for this?" he asked but nobody could say anything

"Mr Philip your office is the one in charge of this shouldn't you be responsible for this incident?"

"it wasn’t our fault we tried raising the values of the shares but the demand was just too low i suggest we try another strategy to increase demand and this should be Katherine's department responsibility not us"

"Miss Katherine, what do you have to say?"

"honestly speaking isn’t this the fault of the company for investing in a loss making organization, the company should aim towards making profit but if should for personal gain it could affect the company" Mr Philip said facing Maxwell

"really, since you are very smart and seem to know a lot about this, why don’t you handle this case then make sure you resolve this issue, deadline is next week if you cant solve this, i will assume then that is your fault, fair right?" he replied with a smile more like a smirk

"that will be all for today, miss Katherine discuss the marketing issue with Nora and give me feedback latest today and Mr Philip i need a detailed information on the share transfer to B&B company" he said and leave the room with his assistant trailing after him

"you have a meeting with the CEO of TS brands at 11 but before that your permission is needed to give us the go ahead to admit the new interns"

"just go ahead you don’t need my permission for such.

Sonya woke up early in the morning and came out of her room, she walked to the kitchen to get some water to drink. She looks around and saw that the living room and the kitchen was in a mess. She brushed her teeth and starts to arrange everything, putting them in place. After she finished she had her bath and headed to the kitchen to arrange her stuff there and get something to eat. Just then Loveth came out of her room.

“Morning” she said tiredly.

“so the top student works here?”

“no he owns here and he is not just a top student, he`s rich, handsome, gentle.… I liked him before” she said getting carried away by her imagination.
