with her? Ewww... 

“Then what do I do?” Amy asked. “Delay the response. Tell him to give you time,” Broderick said. “Then he will keep disturbing me again and again. How long will I keep telling him to give me time?” Amy asked. 

“Please do as I‘ve advised, Miss. Cleo. I have a plan but I can‘t tell you,” Broderick said. 

Amy hummed and wondered if it was reasonable for her to just keep telling Michael to give her time. Maybe she just have to trust Broderick and do as he had advised. 

My family want me outside of NorthHill cause they beleived I was the reason behind the collapse of our company,” Broderick said with a sad look. 

“What! How can they do such? That‘s cruel,” Amy said angrily. “I guess people only value us cause of what we have, as soon as we lost it, they stop valuing us, “Broderick said. 

“Those are wicked people. I respect and value you irrespective of whether you are the CEO of a company or not,” Amy said. 

“Thank you, friends like you are rare. My family has given me forty eight hours to evacuate NorthHill, I‘m left with just twelve hours...” Broderick said sadly. 

“This is serious. Just forty eight hours. Can‘t they even consider your kids?” Amy lamented in frustration,” what if you give them some money, will they accept it and let you stay?” “They won‘t. They said I have caused them disgrace so I have to leave.” Broderick said. Amy became very sad that she almost began to cry,” Mr. Broderick, what do you do now?” Broderick lowered his head as if he was terribly sad,” I‘ll leave North Hill.” 

“What!” Amy exclaimed so loudly. She had reacted that way cause she knows that if Broderick leaves North Hill with the kids, she won‘t get to see the kids again. 

Broderick nodded and then looked up at her,” can you let us leave NorthHill together?” 

“But why can‘t you fight them? You can‘t act like a coward. I‘ll fight with you, okay?” Amy said and Broderick smiled inwardly. He loved how supportive Amy was. 

Who was Nell and Michael to send him out of NorthHill? They are not even worthy of loosening the sole of his shoe. 

Amy‘s phone chirped briefly and she casually check only to see a notification about the popular blog that writes about ‘Ba,‘ the mysterious ugly and scarred man who was presently the most powerful man in NorthHill. 

She had been particular interested in following up news about that man, well, everyone in 

NorthHill is. Everyone wants to know more about Ba 

She clicked on the notification link and it lead her to a page where she read that the man was erecting a building that will be twice as big as the Alessandro‘s company that had been burnt down and that interested companies can start bidding for contract. 

She immediately stood and went to Broderick‘s side, “read this, please.” Once she confirmed that Broderick had read it, she said,” we can also bid and we may be lucky to secure a contract, I‘m sure their contracts will worth millions.” 

“We?” Broderick asked. Cause they were not family yet so why was she using the word ‘we?‘ 

“I mean, we are both skilled in design, right? While some other companies are bidding for what they can do in the erection of the building, we can bid for designs and decorations and show them our works in the past. If we are able to secure a contract, I can let you have all the money so you can extablish yourself again, maybe create another company or something,” Amy said. “You will let me have all the money?” Broderick asked. He had never seen a woman as sweet as Amy. Trying to help him in his ‘trying times.‘ “Yes, I promise to give you all.” Amy said. “Okay, go ahead and do the bidding.” 

“Erm...what name can we call our small company. It‘s funny that it‘s just a company of two,” Amy chuckled and Broderick chuckled too. 

“Erm... let‘s name our little company the first letters of our name...like B and C group.” “Got it. I‘ll draft out our application this night then send it to you for review. make sure you tell me what you think about it before morning so I can take it over to their address and submit... hopefully, we can get the contract.” Broderick hummed,” hopefully!”

Nell stepped down from the cab that took her to the mini building that was built before the large piece of land that Ba‘s mega company was to be bult. When she was about entering the mini building, she heard someone call her name from behind and on turning, she saw Martha. 

She immediately remembered that her father‘s company were also focused on Designs and Decorations. Were they also here to bid for a contract. If the mayor‘s family bid for a contract, then she and Broderick doesn‘t even have a chance to win. She was thinking about this as Martha approached her.
