“Really?”
“How can we help each other?”
“I have a plan that can help the both of us”
Jemmy whispered into his ears.
“Oh…
“Really?”
How?”
“We are going to use my identity”
She replied.
Ethan burst into laughter.
“Please, if you plan to expose them by charging
them with a R@PE offense.
Count that out, it can never work.
Mr George and this people own the law of this
city”.
Jemmy smile…
“It’s a blackmail, Ethan…
I knew that won’t work”
She replied.
Ethan seems confused.
“What do you mean by a blackmail?”
Jemmy sighs and faces Ethan to explain better.
“Who did Mr George fear the most?”
She asked.
“I don’t think he fears anyone”
Ethan replied.
“Well, unfortunately for him, he does… He fears
the Mayor of this town.
The major has been trying to nail him for years
now but he didn’t succeed”
“So if the Mayor finds out about the R@PE
charges and attempt of murder?.
He is going to defeat Mr George”
Ethan said surprised at Jemmy’s genius idea.
Jemmy smile.
“Wow…
That’s actually a great plan… Mr George will be
brought to book and everything will go on fine”
Jemmy nodded.
“But are you sure Mr George fears the mayor the
most?”
Ethan asked.
“Am very sure .. Ethan
This is our best shot”
“Alright, let’s try it out…
But are you sure you are ready for this? The
whole world will know about your story”
“Am tired of living in hiding… I want to stop
running, I want to stop being haunted and be
free and this is the only way to do that”
Jemmy replied.
Ethan could see the sincere look on her face.
“Alright, we will go by the plan”
But can you let this be a secret between us? No
third party should know about this”
“I promise…
Jemmy said.

~(Linde Plc)~
Ethan walked into Luke’s office. Luke was busy
on his iPad when Ethan walked in. He placed a
docvment on the table.
“Am done with it, you can submit it now”
He said and wanted to walk away when Luke
called him back.
“Hey…
Luke called.
Ethan paused and looked back.
“Show some respect”
Luke said to his face.
Ethan just smiled making Luke look stupid. “I
think you need to recheck yourself before you
say out that word.
Respect is always earned”
He said and wanted to walk out again when
Luke stopped him.
“Oh really??
He asked and stood up. He walked up to Ethan
and looked directly at his face.
“I’m the CEO of this company… And I have
already earned some respect here, so now show
some respect”
He said already getting angry.
“I will never give you any respect… you don’t
deserve one”
Ethan replied.
“Then you leave me no choice but to get you
fired”
He said and walked back to his seat.
“You can’t get me fired, Mr so nothing-luke. I
was employed by Miss Lauren and she is the
only one who has the authority to fire me”
“Oh…
I can see the confidence you have in yourself.
We are going to see about that”
Luke replied.
“Then, we are also going to see how your
secrets get to the Mayor”
He said and walked out.
Luke was confused.
“How do my secrets have to do with the Mayor?”
He muttered with a confused face. “Ethan
Baker and his threats, oh gosh, I so much h@tΓ«
him”
He seems he already gave up on having back
Linde Plc”
*******
Ethan walked angrily into the administration
office.
Jessica and Stephan could notice the change in
mood.
“What’s wrong, Ethan?
Jessica asked.
“It’s Luke… He’s an annoying jerk”
He replied.
“Well, that’s your CEO for now
We have to endure all the tedious work he
assigns to us”
“It’s not about work, I just have a personal issue
with him”
Ethan said.
“He is going to leave soon and Lauren will be
back”
Stephan also said.
Ethan became sad.
If only they knew Lauren isn’t going to come
back because Luke has successfully snatched
Linde Plc.
He sighed as his mind went back to Lauren.
Lauren still seems to be angry with him.
“Gosh… Why is all this happening?”
He muttered. His phone rang.
“Ethan…
Your phone is ringing”
Stephan said bringing Ethan back to reality
from his thoughts.
“Oh…
He checked the caller. It was Hannah
He hissed and rejected the call.

~(Next Day, Linde Plc)~
Ethan walked into the administration office. He
saw everything on his office table was cleared
and packed into a box.
Just the computer system remains on the table.
“What’s going on?”
He asked looking at Jessica said face and
Stephan’s joyous face.
“Ethan…
Your attention is needed at the CEO’s office”
Stephan said happily.
“Have I been fired?”
Ethan thought and walked out.
“Am really going to miss him here”
Jessica said sadly.
“You guys can be meeting up to see each other,
don’t cry just because he is leaving”
Stephan said and walked back to his seat.

~(CEO’s office)~
“What’s going on, Luke??
Are you truly firing me?”
He asked as soon as he walked in.
“Well, you said it yourself, I can do that, only
Lauren can”
Luke replied.
“So?
Am not being fired then”
“No,. You are not
Luke smiled and folded his arms before facing
him.
“I confirmed it and I saw I couldn’t fire you but
as the CEO I can do other things”
“What do you mean?”
Ethan asked.
“Since you don’t want to give me the respect, so
as from now on, you are now going to be
working in the recovery department.
With your paycheck being reduced by seventy
percent.
Poor”
He made a victory sound that seemed to anger
Ethan, mocking him.
“Enjoy your so-called job at the pit of Linde Plc…
You are free to quit now if you want to”
You now get the FuΓ§k out of my office”
Luke said.
Ethan felt embarrassed. He walked out with
shame.

~(Recovery department)~
Lizzy walked in with a letter, She seemed happy
like never before.
“Our efforts are not in vain, Beth”
She said as she walked in.
“What’s with the happy smile?
Share the good news please”
Mrs Wells said. She seems like the oldest.
“Okay?
I just got a letter from the CEO and our prayers
have been answered”
“And what’s that??
You are making me anxious”
Beth asked.
“Ethan Baker has been transferred to our
department”
She announced.
Beth and Mrs Wells couldn’t believe it.
Beth shouted with joy.
“Finally…”
She muttered.
“But how is that possible?”
Mrs Wells asked.
Ethan couldn’t just be transferred here without a
reason”
*I think he offended the CEO and as a result of
that, he was being brought here”
Lizzy replied.
“That’s bad…
But who cares?? Ethan Baker is at the recovery
department is all that matters”
Beth said.
“Yeah, I can’t wait for this department to be well
recognized now”
Am tired of the infamous news about our
department”
Lizzy replied and walked back to her seat.
A knock came on the door and soon later, Ethan
walked in with a small box full of his office
belongings.
“Welcome, Mr. Ethan Baker”
Mrs Wells said.
“Thanks…
It will be so nice to work with you all again”
He replied and walked to an empty office table,
placing the box on the table.
He noticed Beth was just staring at him.
*****Soon later ******
Everyone was having a quick nap except Mrs
wells. Ethan was surprised no one was working
or busy with any office work.
“What’s going on? Why is everyone sleeping?”
“There is not much work to do is the reason they
are taking a nap”
I guess you should have some sleep also”
She replied.
“No, am fine…
He said and looked at Mrs wells.
“You seem old here, I guess you’ve been working
at the recovery department for too long”
“Yeah… I am”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure…
*Why are you still here?? You should have quit
or retired by now”
Mrs Wells smiles.
“I love this place, I love the recovery department.
Miss Lauren had pleaded with him to leave the
recovery department and join the social or one
of the top known departments of Linde Plc but I
declined her offer”
Why? Cos I love this place and I know someone
is going to change the history of this
department to a good one and I think that’s you”
Ethan scoffs.
“I don’t think so…
Mrs. Wells smiled and just shrugged…
“You know Miss Lauren very well”
Ethan asked.
“Yeah…
I know everything about her work personality”
“So, can you tell me about her?
I would like to know”
Ethan seems interested.
TBC…
