Chapter 79 Lies And Schemes

"The difference between an ignorant man and an arrogant man is that one is blind, while the other raises his head to high." Watching the confusion and fear in Grace's eyes as she crawled up to me made me realize that the play of both women had been designed to take down a naive young man and yet it had nearly taken down an old man from the future. Believing myself to be wide and experienced I had overlooked the trap set up for me and nearly fallen into a hole set by two girls. "Arc your back, I want to see your butt as you move" Grace stopped at my words, a bit of confusion in her eyes, but after readjusting, though not perfect, her waist went lower while her ass went higher and she resumed crawling. Not hiding my unholy thoughts, my gaze went to Grace's hips which moved up and down in her tight skirt as she moved, my hands going down to Jane's right breast and grabbing it, fondling it as Grace approached. "Stop" I suddenly said. "Marcus what is going on" Grace said warily pushing herself up till she was standing on her knees, her eyes going to Jane. "Did something happen to him" "I don't know, he was fine till you came in and dropped the news," Jane said a bit fearful. "Hey, I'm the one with the gun," I said getting Grace's attention back on me.' "Are you loyal to me" "Yes, why would you think otherwise." "So, if I go and read those papers, I won't find out that you were trying to make me sign some incriminating document. "What, Marcus where are you getting these ideas? If You want to read the papers then go read them, don't question my integrity." Grace's reaction was so real, I couldn't help but be taken aback, though I didn't let my doubt show. Without a word, I got to my feet, startling both women and walked over to the desk picking up the papers Grace had wanted me to sign. I half expected Jane to follow me, but the woman stayed kneeling, her eyes fixed on me in worry. "Remain kneeling," I said to Grace when she attempted to get to her feet. Though compact it didn't take me long to read through all three papers and I dumped them back on the table after finding nothing. "Satisfied now" I glanced at Grace's agitated expression for some seconds not letting out a word and then I looked back and reached for her bag. "I have had enough of this, I bust my ass, trying to help you despite the fact that my son is on the sick bed and all I get from you is....." "slap" A hit on her cheek with the back of my hand sent Grace stumbling to the side and falling to the floor, and not paying her any attention I turned over her bag and poured everything in it on the table. A couple of papers both straight and folded fell out and I reached down and began going through them. The three papers she had given me were authentic, with nothing vice in them, and though for a moment I wondered if perhaps she had been genuine about the needing to submit a counter-petition, I decided to go through everything till the end. I thought I would have to search for some time, but the second paper I read while seemingly a counter-petition carried words that would definitely see my ass in jail and the firm retaining my shares as compensation. "This says that I agree to dereliction of my duties, tax evading and fraud and is willing to come out clean, this document doesn't just benefit Laura and her goons but the company. Is everyone in the company against me" I said turning to Grace who was looking at me with wide eyes and shaking her head. I moved over to Grace and stooped so I was eye level with her and then despite the vigilance, the woman was looking at me with, I knocked her out. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Jane, come help me carry her body to the room" Having gotten to her feet when I hit Grace, Jane walked over, shivering as she approached. "Was she really trying to trick you" "Of course, I mean, why else would she carry this" I said waving a paper and handing it to Jane. With a complicated gaze, Jane took the paper to read it from me and as her eyes fell on it, I chopped her on the neck and knocked her out. "She didn't react to that, she's no ninja baby," I said with relief. ......... When next the women came around, they were each bound to a chair, their mouths taped and had water dripping down their faces. Shaking off the water on their faces, they studied their bound-up forms and looked at me with varying amounts of fear. They both let out muffled sounds, trying to talk to me but I held up a hand as I typed on my laptop. "Which of you wants to go first" While Jane looked frightened, betrayed and unsure of me, Grace had on a fearful but furious look, she looked like she had a lot to say and at the moment was more pissed at the tape on her mouth than at me. "Well, I guess you're first then," Keeping the laptop to the side, I went up in front of Grace and peeled off the tape but before I could return to my seat, she spoke. "What do you think you're doing? Do you know how much trouble you're putting yourself in" The woman would have talked some, but I brought up the black elite gun in my head and she went silent. "It seems even with me holding this you haven't realised the situation you're in" As I spoke, I brought the gun down to her chest, pressing it against her bust and then dragging it down her body till It reached her exposed thighs loving as her eyes followed my every movement. "Who sent you" "What do you mean who sent me? Marcus calm down and think about it. That paper in my bag, I have no idea where it came from and the fact that you yourself knew to find it on me, means someone told you about it. You're amongst the top-performing students in your class, you're smarter than to let yourself be used. Even you can see that I'm being framed, we're being set up against each other." Grace took a deep breath before she answered me, the calm with which she spoke making me nod my head. Truly she was a good lawyer and might have convinced me that she wasn't innocent if it wasn't her words against my intuition and the system's analysis. I pressed the nuzzle of the gun against her fleshy thighs and took aim "Bang"
