Conspiracy
Mrs Haward was enjoying her victory in destroying Jason only to find out he was doing well in another company, in London. The only thing on her mind now was how to get him fired from that company. She needed to do something and fast too.
"Hello," Mrs Haward said as soon as the call connected. "I need your urgent help with something," she added.
"What do you need?" replied the person at the other end of the call.
"Are you at home?" asked Mrs Haward.
"Yeah," replied the person.
"Turn on your TV," requested Mrs Haward.
"Yeah, the Borison brothers signed a contract with Groupo, what about that?" questioned the person from the other end of the call.
"The project lead from Groupo. Don't mention the name, but yes, him," replied Mrs Haward.
"I see," replied the person. "What do you want?" inquired the person.
"I want his employment terminated. Do it in such a way that no one will ever want to work with him or for him. I want him to become a nobody," Mrs Haward said. "I will pay you whatever amount you request," she added.
"20 million dollars and consider it done," replied the person with a laugh.
"Deal," said Mrs Haward, and she disconnected the call after.
"Mum, what are you planning against Jason now?" came Mirenda's voice from behind.
"Oh sweety, you heard wrong. I was planning a surprise for you now you have ruined it," Mrs Haward replied. "You are going on a date," she said, and got up from the sofa and pushed Mirenda back into her room.
"A date, with whom?" questioned Mirenda.
"Trust mummy, you will thank me later," Mrs Haward said, and she closed the door behind her, making Mirenda sit on her bed.
James entered the living room, returning from town right after Mrs Haward and Mirenda had exited the living room. He went straight to the kitchen, got himself a cup of coffee and went into his room. Sitting on his bed, he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialled Fiona's number.
"What do you say about meeting tonight at the same location?" James said as soon as the call connected.
"James, if you are inviting me out to get me drunk, so you can have sex with me, I have told you, I don't drink, and I am saving myself for my wedding night," replied Fiona.
"Hey, yeah, I know, and I respect that. No sex, no alcohol. So can we still meet?" James inquired.
"Okay, but I don't want a private room," Fiona said.
"Got it," James said and disconnected the call with a smile plastered on his face.
"Silly girl, she wants everything for free. Today, I will get my reward, either way," James said, emptied the cup of coffee and entered the bathroom.
In Croydon, the company had just finished their celebration of the successful signing of the housing project contract with the Borison brothers and Jason was back in his office putting some plans together for the housing project to commence. Julia came to mind as he thought of building designs and the utilization of space. She was the best. He knew he would not be able to bring Julia into the company. He had already seen a couple of designs from the company's design department, and they were all like what everyone is doing on the market. He wanted something unique and different and Julia always added that exclusive touch to her designs, so they stood out. After careful thinking, he was able to come up with an idea. He would let the company do the designs, but he would have Julia make them better. With this in mind, he continued working on other things about the project. Mr Dickson knocked and entered Jason's office.
"Have you received the remaining details of the project from the Borison brothers yet?" Mr Dickson asked.
"No, it will be sent to my email tomorrow morning. I asked them to copy you on it," replied Jason.
"Great, there are other projects. I will send the files over, so you can take a look at them and tell me what you think," said Mr Dickson, and he turned to leave but paused in his steps.
"We have a meeting with some clients in the meeting room tomorrow at 3 p.m.," Mr Dickson added, and Jason acknowledged before Mr Dickson exited the office.
Jason, after putting everything together for the housing project, also looked at the reports from the various departments and the projects for the week for approval.
Peter arrived at the company at 5 p.m. and had to wait for an hour before leaving the company premises with Jason to go back to their apartment.
"You have already started working extra time, boss," Peter said, with a smile.
"No, just putting a few things together," Jason replied.
Harry had just driven out of the garage when he saw Jason's car leaving the compound and he frowned. He was happy when Jason's contract was cancelled due to the online scandal, but what he is trying to understand now is why Mr Dickson retracted his decision. He doesn't believe his explanation of Jason being the one to pilot the company to its destination. Jason had just arrived at the company and had already signed a contract and gotten a lead position on it. At this rate, how long will it take for the CEO, Mr Dickson, to have all of them reporting to Jason? He has been at the company for two years, and he is not ready to report to someone who just came three days ago.
"This Jason guy is a true scammer like his family had described him," Harry thought. "I am sure this is how he started with his family and ended up robbing them. I will not let him do the same here," he whispered on his lips as he drove out of the company annoyed.
Harry's phone rang while he was driving towards his home. Looking at the caller ID, he answered it inside the car. He rolled his car window up, so he could hear him better.
"Hello, my man, what's up?" Harry asked.
"Nothing much, just wants to confirm something. Does your company now have a deputy CEO called Jason Haward?" inquired the caller.
"Yeah, what about him," Harry asked, feeling annoyed that this guy called just to ask about Jason.
"I need your help with him," the person requested.
"What kind of help?" Harry questioned, as he suddenly seemed interested in what his friend wanted.
"Someone doesn't like him working in your company, can you help me get rid of him?" the person asked.
"Get rid of him, as in what?" inquired Harry.
"Get his appointment terminated. I will pay you fifty thousand dollars," the person said.
"Let me think about it and give you a call," replied Harry, feeling excited.
"Great, treat this as an emergency. We need to do this as soon as possible," replied the person, and the call was disconnected.
Harry smiled ear to ear that he would kick Jason out of the company soon. That way he can take back his projects and become the deputy CEO.
In Florida, Mirenda sat in a car on her way to a destination whose address her mum had given her. She did know the place. It was a very nice place, but she was wondering who her mum had set her up with. She wore a simple straight red dress which hugged her body, showing her beautiful curves. Her hair was tied in a bun and some strands were left loose to dangle. Her make-up was simple but nice. She arrived at the location, got out of the car and walked towards the lavish restaurant. She was received by a staff member of the restaurant who walked her towards the direction of her reserved table when she gave her name. Mirenda froze in her steps when her reserved table was now in view and her blind date was already seated waiting for her.
"Wow, Mirenda, you look gorgeous," the man said, standing up to his feet to welcome her.
Meanwhile, at the same time, at a different location, standing with their hands resting on the railing of the rooftop restaurant, were James and Fiona chatting the night away. Fiona was holding in her hand a glass of fresh juice and James was holding a glass of red wine. She raised a question about the TV channel James promised her and he smiled.
"I spoke with a couple of friends of mine. I can set up a meeting with someone who can be of great help to you. Don't worry about the cost involved, I will take care of it," James lied with a smile.
Fiona was very excited. Growing up, she had always thought about owning her own TV channel. She got employment at one of the international TV channels where she was assigned various tasks depending on what they wanted to do. She excused herself to use the washroom and James acknowledged her with a smile. As soon as she entered the washroom, a lady also entered with her. She entered one of the cubicles but didn't stay there for long. Fiona was at the sink washing her hands and decided to touch up her makeup. The lady joined her by using the next available sink, standing next to Fiona. Once done, she grabbed a tissue and proceeded to leave while Fiona was still looking into the mirror above the sink. Once the lady was behind Fiona, she quickly grabbed Fiona from behind, covering her mouth with one hand. Fiona's hands flew up, grabbing the lady's hand in defence, but the lady quickly injected the side of Fiona's neck, making Fiona pass out immediately.
The lady wrapped her hand around Fiona's waist and tried to drag her out of the washroom. A staff member of the restaurant walked into the washroom and helped the lady carry Fiona out of the washroom.
