As she approached Charlie Sr. and Margret with her hands clasped behind her back, Madame Agnes narrowed her eyes and questioned, "Charlie, where do you think you're going?

I assure you it won't happen again," he pleaded, but his words went unheard as his voice trailed off.Impatiently, Charlie Sr. demanded, "What are you all waiting for?" Startled, the heads of departments quickly rose to their feet and began their presentation. Charlie Sr. drummed his fingers on the table, attentively listening to their every word.After a while, Charlie Sr. addressed Mr. Wayne with a cold stare, asking, "Is this company still where you want to work?"Mr. Wayne, who had started sweating profusely, stuttered, "I-I..."With a snort of disapproval, Charlie Sr. commanded, "Redo the report.

Margret's face went blank and she blinked in a daze when she heard an ear-piercing cry from a baby. "Aunty Meg, Winnie is hungry," Maggi said, handing the baby over to Margret Owen. Without hesitation, Margret took the baby and laid him on her lap to breastfeed him. "I'm going out to buy us a meal; take care of Winnie," Maggi said before hurrying out of the shanty.

After receiving permission to enter, he opened the door and stepped inside."Please have a seat, Barrister James," Charlie Sr. said, gesturing to an empty chair across from him. The man bowed his head in gratitude and placed his briefcase on the table before taking a seat."Thank you, Chairman Charlie Sr." Barrister James opened his briefcase, pulled out some files, and handed them over to Charlie Sr. The latter perused the documents with a smile on his face."I was able to get the signature tasks and settlements done, but there's a problem," Barrister James said, his expression turning serious.

Daniel breathed a sigh of relief as he ushered Maggi and Margret into the restaurant. After enjoying a meal together, he drove them to a rental agency. As they stepped out of the car and entered the building, the receptionist's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Daniel's disheveled companions. "Mrs. Charlie!" the receptionist exclaimed in a daze, mistaking Maggi and Margret for someone else. Daniel's expression darkened, but he managed to force a smile as he calmly corrected her. "I'm afraid you've mistaken us for someone else. Can you please direct us to your agents?" he asked coldly.
