The company's image is in total crisis, all because of one man's arrogance.""Do you think he'll pay?"Malam Abubakar sighed deeply. "I've known Obinna for twenty years. He's proud, stubborn, sometimes cruel, but he's not stupid. Eventually, he'll see he has no choice."At 9:00 a.m., Chief Okoro arrived at the building wearing dark glasses and a cap, trying to go unnoticed. It didn't work. Journalists surrounded him immediately:"Chief Okoro, will you keep your promise?""What do you say to the people boycotting your company?""Do you regret humiliating Emeka?"Chief Okoro pushed his way inside without responding, the sound of camera flashes echoing like gunshots in his ears. His heart pounded so hard he could feel it in his temples.When he reached his office, he found Malam Abubakar waiting for him."We need to talk.

It has nothing to do with the company!"
