Chapter 116: Chapter 116

At the vice chairman office, Sally is busy giving details about her work and the pending files that Dante couldn't attend to, since he is running that of her father's office and also his.

If there is any questions, you are free to ask me or Isla since she is working close with big bro.

What about getting it directly from Dante like I just did with the former?

I only let you asked him that instead of us first because that file is one of the files he is personally handling, he is a very busy man, he had so many thing to fixed, like fixing the company and his personal life, I am sure, he is thinking of settling down now, the man is almost thirty, he needs his life and a family of his own

Talking about fixing a family of his own, do you all know anything about Barbara?

Uh? I don't know but I am sure bro will but I heard she is the adopted daughter of Mr and Mrs Calvin, so there is nothing wrong with it, if you need anymore information, I am sure big bro is in a better position to answer.

Want about Jayden?

Don't bother bro Jayden, he can only tell you what Dante might want him to reveal, so I advice that you should hear it from the horse's mouth, come here stop worrying for the man, he is an adult.

Sure! I wish him all the best. Shirley is calculative, she doesn't want to sound too desperate or pushy, that she desperately wants the man all to herself.

Don't you love him? Shirley laughed dryly, causing Sally to stare at her, she wasn't expecting her to titter like that when the situation doesn't warrant it.

He is my childhood friend, yes, we were in a relationship but then I left because I fall out of love for him.

Oh! That was the only word Sally said before the door open, revealing Mila, she smiled at the two, acting like she doesn't know Shirley before now, everything that takes place at the office, she always inform Shirley.

I didn't know you two are very busy, sir Dante asked that I inform everyone about the board meeting that will be held in few minutes.

Oh! We will be there, in a short while. Sally dismissed her, Shirley smiled as Mila wink at her, then used the door.

At the conference room, everyone was seated, it's like a ritual to Dante that whenever a meeting is held, one person is going to be jobless, that when he call for the meeting everyone was tense, even after knowing the agenda of the meeting.

Now his eyes are focus on Lucus Denis, the general manager of the financial department.

I wonder what the new vice chairman look like? One of his staff murmur to the other.

Some say she is very pretty.

A girl?

Yes, rumors also have it that she is the childhood sweetheart of CEO Dante, V.chairman Clyde only daughter.

They were still gossiping when Sally and Shirley walked in, all eyes were on Shirley, her beauty is very outstanding, the female were admiring her while the male where thinking of ways to have her to themselves, Barbara take her seat beside Mila, causing her to be almost opposite Dante, who is sitting at the head of the rectangular tables with the staff at the both side.

Dante throw four files at the table which landed right in front of his Culprit that is already sweating, that shock made him almost fall from his chair, some of the female staff laughed at his act as he almost spring from his chair.

"You should open and read to us" Dante voice was soft yet filled with authority, the man is going to kill him very soon, reading the very first two line of the documents, he smell doom and problem at the end

Read it loud, or don't you know how to read? He gulped his saliva in fear.

I... it's... Dante grabbed from him and throw to Isla.

Since you don't know how to read, let my assistant do it for me. Isla began reading out, pointing the date and different time, the man had embezzled office fund by purchasing inferior material for the construction of the building, collections of bribed, from different employee in order to secure an office for them here in the company.

Lucus fall to his feet, this is doom, he doesn't know how Dante manage to get his hand on this files again, he thought he had successfully destroy them now this, how did he get hold of it.

Please sir! I...

Oh please don't do that, you should know my policy, every offender deserve a punishment. That was his lady words to him then turn, Mr Lucus whine inwardly, he knows that is the end of it. Security! Dante called, pointing at Lucus, in few minutes the man was pull out and he breath out.

Sorry all for that, I will like to introduce the new vice chairwoman, which is no other person as...

Barbara was paying much attention to Dante words as he keep introducing Shirley to the board members and staff.

Her eyes widened when she saw a cockroach crawling towards her foots, almost close to her. She wanted to screamed but that shouldn't be an option, screaming in a meeting like this could be alarming and people might think she is crazy, she closed her eyes trying to control herself. Yet another one appear right on top of her shoe, crawling to her legs.

She try to shakes her legs but she was too scared that if she do that, the cockroach might just end up on her skin, then tears start falling from her eyes unconsciously, she close her eyes to stop the tears, bit her lips to suppress her fear but then a picture of a little girl, who could barely talk well flash in her mind's eyes as she see a woman pushing the little girl into a room filled with cockroaches.

My beautiful daughter, I brought you some really nice pets, you very lonely you know, so come over here.

Where is grandma? She counted the words because she could barely talk then.

Forget about your grandma, you should play with this instead.

Then are moving!

Yes, let them move, don't you move? She nodded ignorantly. Fine, you should play with them. She pushed the door, closing the little girl behind the door. Don't don't leave me, they are flying. She scream running towards the door, she could hearing the older woman laughing at the other side of the door as she screamed, seeing the cockroaches flying towards her.

She closed her eyes to stop those hurtful memories, she doesn't know who the little girl is but she felt like they were close, the cockroach keeps moving on her skin, just as the cockroach in her mind eyes, keep tormenting that little girl.

Shirley is doing very well in distracting everyone that no one noticed that Barbara is in dilemma.

They will always torment you, you will never get free from them, from now on, they are your worse enemy.
