The President's Chapter 207 - Then we are doomed

Chapter 207: Chapter 207 - Then we are dood

’Mr. Martin Dane, the CEO of Dane Industries, drugs Miss Sabrina Jas, the deputy CEO of JC Minerals, and tricks her to sign docunts he claims are for assets.’

The caption was enough to make Martin crazy and as Martin read the details of the news, he saw the video attached to it and ran to Mara’s room, leaving his breakfast untouched.

"Mara. Now you got

into trouble," he yelled as soon as he closed the door.

Mara was sleeping but was awakened by Martin’s urgent voice, speaking drowsily,

"Martin, what is the problem? Calm down."

Martin gave his phone to her and her eyes went wide with shock.

She would have said that it was impossible but the news was right there staring her in the eyes.

"How possible? He cleared the caras."

The sleep cleared from Mara’s eyes because this news was enough to earn Sabrina the pity of netizens and Martin would be the hated one.

Not only that, but their company would also suffer for it and Mara was going to lose a lot of money as well.

Mara could not believe that this was happening again.

Sabrina seed to be impossible to contend with and Mara hated her more and more.

Martin was perplexed, knowing that he ruined everything.

He couldn’t get Sabrina to agree to marry him and this news would cause more people to hate him, all because Mara promised to have his back covered.

"Then where from this?" He asked in an anger-laced tone, Mara stretched her hand and picked up her phone after giving Martin’s phone back to him.

She rembered the news about when her identity was revealed and how Peter took down the news and cleared everything.

Hope fledged in her heart and she said,

"Martin, let

call him again. He is capable of taking down this whole news."

Martin needed all the help he could get and did not refuse.

"Then do so now."

Mara dialed Pete’s number but this ti around, it went into voice mail.

Her heart lost its rhythm and she regretted pushing him away.

It was not wrong to have sex when pregnant and she should have just allowed him to have his way with her but now, everything was closing up on her.

Martin’s phone began to ring. When he saw that it was the dia reps, he refused to answer it.

Then it rang again. It was his HR so he answered it.

"What?" He yelled into the phone and the HR Manager went straight to the point, saying,

"Sir, five of your top managers resigned with imdiate effect this morning."

"What?" Martin was knocked with shock.

How could they resign when he needed them the most? Martin wanted to send an email that he was taking two weeks’ leave, so his managers would handle the company affairs until his return but now...

It was so unexpected for this to have happened but he was yet to receive another shocker, as his HR Manager had not finished speaking.

"Sir, I’m sorry but I also resign with imdiate effect."

Martin’s eyes were almost about to fall. If the most prominent people resigned, then how was he supposed to keep running the company when he could not be physically present for now?

Martin could not let this happen and would do anything to salvage the situation.

"Wait, I will double your pay. I need you to work for

and if you convince them to stay, I will equally double their pay."

The HR Manager was surprised to hear him sounding all polite in contrast to his usual arrogant ways but her mind was already made up.

"Sir, so of us prefer integrity to money. What you did to Miss Jas, a pregnant woman, is inhuman. I can’t work for soone like you."

"Wait..."

The beeping sound at the end of the line was an indication that she had hung up the phone.

Martin had even forgotten about Sabrina’s pregnancy when he went ahead with that part.

How could she look so attractive when pregnant? Rembering all that he lost, his eyes were already glassy.

The way Sabrina ward up to him that morning and even hugged him.

She was so comfortable around him because she trusted him.

His conscience pricked him seven tis to not do it but he was so bent on pleasing Mara or was it his desire to manipulate her to marry him?

"What is it?" Mara asked upon seeing his pale look after receiving the call.

"Five top managers resigned."

Mara chuckled in annoyance. "We should recruit their replacent."

"HRM resigned too and I can’t go to the office now because the press representatives would be there," Martin revealed miserably, Mara equally regretted resolving to that form of attack against Sabrina.

How could she have known that everything was not wiped?

"Martin, I’m sorry."

Martin stared at her with indignation in his eyes.

"Your revenge on Sabrina has caused us to lose everything. Congratulations, Mara."

"There should be a way," Mara said, not willing to give up but only raised Martin’s irritation.

"Why don’t you show

which way?" He asked her. Then rembering that this was all because of the hacker, he asked again, "This hacker of yours. Don’t you have his address?"

"No," Mara shook her head. Martin smiled sadly,

"Then we are dood."

Mara could not let everything slip out of her fingers.

"We are not dood. We still have billions saved up in investnt but then..." Mara paused as a sad realization crept into her mind. "It ans we can’t take over the JCs."

Martin let out a humorless chuckle before adding to the misery,

"I even forgot to tell you that Devin tore the signed docunts."

Mara turned ashen. "Oh no."

That stupid brother of Sabrina. Mara wanted to tear him into pieces as Martin reminded her,

"So, we indeed lost everything."

"No. I will find a way. Just let

think, okay?" Mara disagreed and spoke.

Then she sent a text ssage to Peter.

’I’m sorry Pete, your absence made

realize how much I miss you. I think I love you.’

A response ca through within seconds.

’The man whose child you are carrying is the one you love. Let him clean up your ss.’

Mara could not understand the reason why Pete was being stubborn when she was giving him a chance.

’You failed to clean up the caras like you promised but just to let you know, the pregnancy was faked. I was just testing you,’ she texted back.

If she had to make him believe that she loved him to get what she wanted, then that was exactly what she was going to do.

However, Peter’s response shattered her world.

’Did you forget that you sent

a video of you drugging and having sex with him for

to edit? I just saw it.’

Mara was hyperventilating and as she was about to type a response, another ssage dropped,

’As for the caras, I indeed cleared them except there was a secret one which was not accessible to the JCs IT departnt. I can’t be blad for that.’

Mara quickly typed a response, as she was more concerned about the first part of the ssage.

’Please give

your address. I will co and see you. I can explain please.’

The response, though just a text ssage, was so cold, she could feel chills in her bones.

’Don’t bother. I’m out of coverage.’

Mara’s subsequent ssages did not deliver anymore as Peter had blocked her.
