Chapter 52 Black Panther Club
Brittany’s intention was clear–she wanted to make Andrew green with envy. She felt utterly helpless against Daniel and knew that only with Andrew’s help could she drive that loser away from Jessica for
good.
Andrew’s face turned as dark as thunderclouds. Clenching his teeth, he fumed, “What gives that nobody the right to share a coffee with Jessica or have her drink from his straw? I’ve got to get rid of him–make
him vanish from her sight!”
He turned to Brittany with a glint in his eyes. “You want him gone too, don’t you, Brittany?”
“Of course! I’d love to see him bounce right out the door, never to show his face to Jessica again. Better yet, to disappear forever!”
I’ve got a plan that could make Jessica fire that waste of space.”
“Really? What’s the plan?”
“Three years ago, TMO acquired the land on Windows Street, but thanks to the Black Panther Club, you’ve never been able to develop it. Get that nobody to talk to Justin and insist the Black Panther Club move
out immediately as per the earlier agreement.
I’ll arrange for some people to push Justin’s buttons so he’ll want to take it out on Daniel. Justin will claim he’s willing to move the club, but only if TMO fires that nobody.”
“Just firing him sounds too easy on him, What if you had Justin rough him up a bit too?”
“Don’t you worry; he’ll definitely get the beating of his life!”
“Great, I’ll go set it up.”
The next morning, Brittany received a message from Andrew that everything was in place on Justin’s
side. She hurried to Daniel’s office.
Daniel was just an assistant, yet he had his own spacious office–bigger even than Brittany’s, and she was. the head secretary. As she walked in, Daniel was leaning back in his chair, feet on the desk, happily munching on fried chicken.
“What are you up to, you good–for–nothing?”
“Can’t you see? I’m eating, obviously!”
“Eating fried chicken during work hours? And putting your feet up on the desk?”
“Yeah, so what? You gonna rat me out to Jessica? Go ahead! Her office is just around the corner to your left. She should be in right now.”
“You…”
Brittany was so mad she could stomp her feet. From day one, Daniel never cared about the rules. He’d spend his work hours snacking or gaming or pestering Jessica in her office. And yet, despite all this,

Jessica never punished him–it was like the company’s rules didn’t apply to him!
“Stop, follow me!”
“Follow you where?”
“Think you’re so capable? I’m taking you to Windows Street. See if you can handle Justin. Pull it off, and I
won’t care what you do in your office after this.”
“Fine!”
Daniel agreed. He knew Brittany was trying to set him up by sending him to Windows Street to face Justin. What he didn’t know was that Andrew was the mastermind behind this plan. But even if he did, it wouldn’t stop him. Daniel felt anything to do with Windows Street was his wife’s business, which meant
his as well.
Brittany led Daniel down to Windows Street. All other shops and residents had moved out after receiving compensation from TMO. The whole street was desolate, with only the flashing neon sign of the Black
Panther Club still stubbornly lit.
