?Episode 28?
Bryce’s POV:
I sat down inside the meeting room with my consultants while the presenters stood at the front explaining the supposed business proposal from another companies.
It was boring as h.ell and I was getting really infuriated.
How dare they waste my time and also my money?
“Go and get Miss James.” I whispered to my Secretary.
She looked at me with wide eyed then quickly nodded.
Almost immediately Penny walk in with her.
“I’m sorry for coming late gentlemen.” She apologized.
“Miss James, please have a seat.” I told her, pointing at a space beside me.
I know that she was confused, probably asking herself why she was summoned here.
“Continue.” I told the presenter.
While the presenter presents, i watch Penny with interest. The way she twist her mouth whenever the presenter said something she doesn’t agreed to.
Something tells me, the woman was not just kindhearted but also a business guru.
“I beg to speak up.” She said after sometimes.
Everyone was visibly shocked by her audacity to speak up where such elite people are.
“What do you have to say Miss James?” I asked her.
I was interested to know what she had in mind.
“I think this proposal is totally not right, this company has a deal with David enterprise and according to what the presenter said, this current company are rivals with Davis enterprise.
We will be adding up to 100 million dollars in this proposal.
That is a huge sum of money gentlemen,
If we accept this then we are betraying David enterprise which I’d not right,
This proposal is not worth it accustomed with the ammount of money to be wasted.
This proposal should not be accepted!” She said fiercely, her eyes sending daggers at the presenters.
I stared at her I bewildment.
The men sitting down were shocked by the fury in her eyes.
Their eyes reads “why does her opinion matters?”
But I couldn’t care less.
This woman always surprise me.
Not only has she calculated everything in the space of ten minutes but also she wasn’t afraid to voice out her opinion.
Her type are rare.
She is a business world tigress.
I was impressed with her.
“Do you know the company whose proposal you demand to be rejected?” I asked her, she stared at me you continue.
I wonder if she would think otherwise if she knew.
“Whose?” She simply asked.
“James James corporation.” I said but her face was blank. She wasn’t giving anything away.
She wasn’t shocked neither was she angry.
I couldn’t fathom what she was thinking at the moment.
“It still doesn’t change a thing Mr King, I am a devoted employee of this company and want only the best for it.” She continues.
Miss James, you sure are a fearless woman.
Ready to go against your own family business.
“Out!” I barked at the presenters and they rushed put of the meeting room.
“Incompetent fools.” I mumbled.
“Meeting adjourned,” I said and immediately my consultants stood up and started leaving one after the other.
“Stay back for a minute Miss James.” I told her. She hesitated for some minutes before her shoulder slumped and she sat back.
“Why have you been avoiding me?” I asked her with a frown.
For four days now she has started avoiding me yet again.
I wonder what the issue is this time.
“Nothing.” She said calmly.
“Nothing? You can’t just avoid people for nothing Penny, you’ve a reason.” I said,slightly raising my voice.
She chuckled and stood up.
“You’re one shameless man Mr King,yo have a wife yet you keep disturbing my life,ask your wife why she barged into my office and sl@poed me on my face.
Ask her why she tugged my hair, ask her why she called me A HUSBAND SNATCHER.
Stay away from me Bryce.” She said and walk out of the room.
What!
Why will Zen do all that.

At James Corporation
Sasha was surprised at the e-mail she got from King’s conglomerate saying that they can’t do business together.
“The fk!” She cur$ed.
She rushed out of her office and went to her father’s.
She knocked the door and heard him invite her in before opening the door.
“Dad did you heard? King’s Conglomerate rejected our offer, why?” She asked, she was so furious.
She had plans, big plans but it just seems as if her plans will never work.
Her father was surprised, James James Corporation and King’s Conglomerate had done business in the past and it all went well.
What went wrong now?
He couldn’t understand.
“Make calls and know what went wrong.” He told her.
She gritted her teeth and nodded before walking out yet again the the same arrogant manner.
She got inside her office and quickly dialed a number.
“Your husband rejected our company proposal, seduce him and get him to accept them.” She told the receiver on the other end of the call.
“What! That is not possible Sasha and you know it. Bryce doesn’t allow anyone to mess with his business. Not even me.” She explained to sasha.
But she wasn’t having it.
“Do what I ask of you or I’ll ruin your Zendaya,don’t test me I’m very desperate.” Sasha seethed out then dropped her phone.
‘That woman got some nerves, she doesnt even have a choice’ she thought to herself.

BRYCE MANSION
“Welcome home daddy.” His princess greeted him and hugged his legs.
He squarted to her height and carried her up.
“How was your day princess?” He asked her.
“It was fine daddy, come I’ll show you. Aunt maggie gave me chocolates.” She said and giggled childishly.
“And who is Aunt Maggie?” He asked. That was the first time he would be hearing that name.
It sounded so unfamiliar but yet familiar somehow.
“Oh, she walks at ?? ????, that place that Penny used to work.” Little Arley explained.
At the mention of Penny’s name, Bryce’s jaw clenched.
He kssed Arley on her cheek and hand her over to her nanny before stomping upstairs angrily.
He pushed open their door forcefully which scared Zendaya, she watched in for few minutes.
His stoic face showed her that he was the least happy right then.
“Welcome baby, are you tired? Do you want to have some coffee?” She asked him.
He wondered why at the last minute, Zen canceled her flight and prosponed it to five days later.
She wasn’t a fan of cancelation.
“Can you give me just one reason why you slapped her?” He asked and it was now her turn to get angry.
“Oh.”
“She came running to you huh, well that mistress of yours is quite smart.” She sneered and walk inside the bathroom but Bryce wasn’t having it.
He followed her.
“She is NOT my mistress Zen, stop assuming things. She is a friend.” He said calmly.
She turned around and watch him for a minute then shook her head.
“You can’t just go around bullying people just because you felt insecure.” He blasted her.
But that was the final strike.
“And I won’t just ‘bully’ her the next time like you said, I’ll kill her.” She promised them shut the door to his face.
He sigh and brushed back his hair with his finger.
He couldn’t believe that Zen will act so unintelligent.
She was bigger than that for God sake.
“Come out let’s settle this Zen, I’m not cheating on you. Please babe unlock the door.” He coaxed her.
He wanted to use force but now he knew that it was useless.
Zen was a very vengeful woman and will do anything to clear dirt out of her way whether for life or by ruining.
And he doesnt want Penny to face that situation.
She was already a broken woman, another heartbreaking story will break her forever.
