“It is so good to see you again after so many years that you have turned down our requests” the female pres£nter said smiling.
“Oops, am so sorry, work has been so much” Anthony said as he joined his both palms together in a pleading manner.
“We do un-derstand that, so much for the CEO of the second largest company”
“Thanks for un-derstanding” He said smiling. The pres£nter went ahead to ask him about work, his family and other aspects of his life, he answered some and ignored other, Michael sm-irked.
“So what do you think about your friend and business p@rtner, George Darlington, after hearing about his accident and rumors of his death” The pres£nter asked cunningly.
“Hearing his accident was so bad and devastating for me that I couldn’t even come to visit although other factors held me down, but as you have rightly said about he been alive or not is still rumors till now” he said knowingly twisting his answer, Michael gave a scornful look whlie George smiled.
“He never changes” George said with smiles while Michael still had a frown on his face.
“So are you saying that you don’t know if George is alive or not” She asked again.
“Well, I just got back, isn’t it too early to be asking that” He replied again, and gave the pres£nter a very suspicious smile that was filled with threat, she noticed and st©pped asking about Goerge, they talked about him and how he want his company to keep moving forward, After someminutes they rounded up the show, Anthony waved to the c@m£ra, and the it was replaced with an advert.

“I can’t believe Anthony is back, oooh my goodness have missed him so much” George said and Michael hissed.
“So if he is back???, what’s our business” Michael said with a frown.
“C’mon buddy, it’s in the past now and besides you are not even sure he did it” George said as he looked at his friend who wasn’t smiling.
“George I can’t believe you, Anthony is not a good person, C’mon, dude was jealous of you and wanted you and the company dead” Michael responded shaking his head sideways.
“But you weren’t sure, and besides the name the lady mentioned was just Anthony, c’mon pal, thousands of people bears that, quit the hatred, have you forgotten he saved me after that”George replied.
“He saved you my foot! George when will you ever learn, you know I told you not to marry Clara then, it was Anthony that even introduced you to her, it was this same Anthony, wake up George, dude is jealous of you” Michael said to George as he stood up and put of the television. While George also put the l@pt©p on his l@ps down, and sat up.
“But I thought, we have forgotten all of these, c’mon Mickky, the guy is innocent of all these” Says George.
“There we go again, Goerge I have always been with and around these guys even when they thought am not watching, George wake up, this guy is nothing but a pretender, and he c@m£ back for you” Michael said trying to make his friend see reasons.
“Michael that’s enough, I won’t bear you say these things about Anthony, that’s enough” George said angrily but his anger didn’t inti-mate Michael.
“Okay no problem, if that what you want, but dont forget I told you this” Michael got up to leave, he walked past George but was st©pped by what his friend said.
“Same
goes for br@in Anderson right???” Goerge asked.
“Yes!!!! Same goes for him, George wake up, these guys are pretending to be your friends, they are wolves” Michael answered turning to his friend who seem h@rd to get what he was explaining.
“C’mon buddy, they are not who you are painting them to be, they are good people, they care about me, br@in gave me a call yesterday and we…..” George was cut short.
“br@in did what????, you guys did what???? Dude what’s is wrong with your s-en-se of reasoning???” Michael shouted angrily as he was shocked that George and br@in as spoken to each other.
“Excuse you?? My s-en-se of reasoning???” George repeated as he glared at his friend.
“Scratch I said that, but George they are not as good and caring as you think” Micheal said calmly.
“Then give me an evidence against them??” George said.
“Have you forgotten quic-kly about Gracia, you deceased secretary that was always serving you with toxic coffee??” Michael said as he frowned his face.
“That wasn’t either of them, you know that” George replied sharply.
“George, it was Anthony, when I tracked her down and f0rç£d her to tell me she said someone close to you, who you think loves you is the one after your life, she said Anthony” Michael said throu-gh gritted teeth
“C’mon buddy, she didn’t mention his last name,did she??” George said almost immediately.
“No, she didn’t but, I know what I am talking about George, your life, my life the lives of your kids are in danger, our lives are in danger, you gotta wake friend, you really got to” Michael said as he shook his head and went to his room leaving George behind in his thought.
Michael walked to his room and sat angrily on his be-d, he brou-ght out a book and was going throu-gh the writings, when his mind wondered away to some years back.
FLASH BACK
Michael walked in to the company, after George as seltted in, as he was approaching the office, Anthony walked out of George’s office.
“What is he doing here, early this morning” Michael wondered to himself as he looked at Anthony who win-ked at the secretary, Gracia, Michael huffed, he was expecting her to maybe blush or do something stupid, but the lady nodded, and secretly did thumps up, that was very suspicious to Michael as he continued to walk slowly, soon Anthony neared Michael, they both st©pped.
“What are you doing here??”Anthony asked with uneasiness which did not escape Michael, but he tried to cover up.
“Any problem???” Michael asked as he tried to look Anthony in the eyes who was avoiding his gaze.
“No problem, Excuse me” Anthony said and walked away, Michael looked at him suspiciously but later shoved it off and went to the secretary.
“Inform George that I want to see him” Michael said as he stood in front of Gracia’s desk, who also was behaving funny.
“But he hasn’t taken his coffee” Gracia blotted out before she knew it, she bit herl-ips, Michael wondered what was wrong with her.
“So does my going into his office affect his drinking his coffee, didn’t Woods just come out of there” Michael asked as he stared h@rd at Gracia, who had no option then to let him in, he walked in, George was happy to see him, they exchanged plea-santries and started talking.For some reasons guided by instinct made Michael stayed longer then usual, then Gracia walked in and dropped George’s coffee on the table and walked out after taking a quic-k glance at Michael who unknown to her saw her behavior as strange.
“As I was saying…..” George said as he lifted his cup to his mouth only to be st©pped by his friend who sl@pped the cup off his hands…….
