Ms. Rhodes, I think Mr. Chapman might be in serious trouble.
What makes you say that? Lauren asked, surprised.
4 I ran into him downstairs this morning.
He looked terrible, completely out of it, and I’m sure hes hiding something, Kingsley explained.
Before Lauren could respond, an employee burst into the office in panic.
Ms. Rhodes, something terrible has happened Mr. Chapman is threatening to jump from the building!
The rooftop of Rhodes Corporation was over 50 stories high.
Marcus stood at the edge, his expression shifting between confusion, anger, and frustration as his fists clenched tightly
He shouted, Why? Why do all of you have to push me like this? What did I ever do to deserve.
this? Ive given my life to this company was that not enough? His voice carried a mix of rage and despair , echoing in the wind.
In his emotional outburst, Marcus lost his footing for a moment and nearly fell, causing gasps of horror to ripple through the gathering crowd below.
Employees had rushed to the rooftop, forming a growing crowd, their fear and panic evident in their faces.
Mr. Chapman, please step back! Whatevers wrong, we can talk this through ! one of them pleaded. Marcus, what are you doing? Weve worked side by side for this company for years. Whatever it is, well face it together! shouted another.
Wheres Mr. Rhodes? Why isnt he here yet? If Mr. Chapman jumps, the consequences will be unimaginable ! Several hot headed employees noticed Michaels absence and became indignant.
After all, Marcus was a veteran at Rhodes Corporation, single handedly running their most profitable pharmaceutical division.
His critical position in the company made Michaels absence all the more concerning to the gathered employees.
don’t worry about me.
Theres nothing left for me now.
I might as well end it all! Marcus laughed bitterly, taking another step forward until half his foot hung over the edge
His unsteady figure swayed dangerously, and several employees screamed and covered their eyes, unable to watch
Everyone, please make way! Kingsleys deep voice cut through the crowd as he pushed through, creating a path.
Lauren and Eunice followed closely behind him.
Ms. Rhodes is here ! Ms. Rhodes, please save Mr. Chapman before its too late! Ms. Rhodes, Marcus has worked tirelessly for this company for decades.
If anything happens to him today, we, the veteran staff, will all resign! Rhodes Corporation has gone too far! Mr. Chapman has always been a gentle and understanding person something terrible must have driven him to this point.
While you’re here, wheres Mr. Rhodes? The employees from the pharmaceutical division were especially vocal, and their frustration and anger were now directed at Lauren
Several senior employees had tears in their eyes, glaring at her with both desperation and resentment. Eunice was visibly shaken.
Since starting at Rhodes Corporation, she had never seen anyone dare confront Lauren like this.
The scene made it clear that the employees outrage had reached a boiling point.
Lauren maintained her composure and spoke firmly.
Everyone, please stay calm
As Vice CEO of Rhodes Corporation, I promise youll get a satisfactory explanation for this.
Then, she turned to Marcus and called out, Mr. Chapman, what are you doing? Come down.
and tell me whats wrong I’ll make sure justice is served.
Marcus laughed bitterly.
Its useless, all useless.
My family is destroyed, my daughter is gone, and now Michael wants to take away my position too.
He continued with anguish, Ive served Rhodes Corporation faithfully for 30 years 30 years! Ms. Rhodes, ask your father was there ever a time I didnt give my all to this company?
Marcus words carried resentment, but even more apparent was his complete loss of purpose- both in life and work.
He had nothing left but despair.
Damn that Michael, Lauren muttered under her breath.
If Marcus dies, how is he going to explain this to the family board? Before Lauren could attempt more persuasion, Kingsley held her back.
He advised, Ms. Rhodes, lets not mention anything that might upset Mr. Chapman further
Hes too emotional to listen to reason right now anything we say might only push him closer to the edge.
Lauren nodded in agreement.
You’re right, Dr. Baldwin
Eunice, has anyone called emergency services ? We need rescue teams here.
Theyre already on their way, Eunice replied.
However, Kingsley shook his head.
Theres no time.
Marcus is determined to end it all any sudden movement could trigger him to jump.
Everyone, please step back and give Mr. Chapman some space! Kingsley commanded, spreading his arms to push the crowd back.
Eunice snapped, What are you doing? What if he jumps while were too far away? Several of Marcus close colleagues joined in, glaring at Kingsley angrily.
Whats your game here? Do you want us to watch Marcus die? one shouted
Another yelled, This is between us employees stay out of it! You’re just like the rest of them bloodsucking capitalists who exploit workers! Admit it you don’t care about saving Mr. Chapman.
You just want to watch him die! The angered employees, especially those who had worked with Marcus for years, erupted into shouts
Several of them lunged toward Kingsley in frustration, their emotions boiling over
Lauren saw the chaos spiraling out of control and shouted, Everyone, stop! No one is to make a move or speak out of line
Do you hear me? However, her words did little to calm the storm.
The crowds rage had reached its peak, and their grievances against Rhodes Corporations management were spilling over
Eunice pointed a finger at Kingsley, yelling furiously, This is all your fault! Why are you.
interfering and making things worse? Are you trying to hurt Ms. Rhodes and Mr. Chapman ? Suddenly, Kingsleys thunderous voice cut through the chaos.
Silence! The powerful command made everyone freeze, though their angry glares remained fixed on him
Whats the point of all this commotion ? Kingsley challenged, his cold gaze sweeping across the crowd.
Tell me who among you can save Marcus right now? Who can talk him down? The employees fell silent until one veteran worker sneered
Youve been with Rhodes Corporation for what, a day? Sure, we might be helpless, but what makes you think you can do any better? Kingsley met his gaze with confidence and stated firmly, Just because you can’t do it doesnt mean others can’t.
Mr. Chapman is a vital asset to this company, and more importantly, hes my friend.
I’ll bring him back.
His words left the crowd stunned into silence.
Lauren exclaimed urgently, Dr. Baldwin, you can’t do this! Mr. Chapman is emotionally unstable -we should wait for the rescue team
She did not need to elaborate further, as Kingsley already understood her meaning
She feared that if he tried to save Marcus and was not careful enough, Marcus might actually jump, and Kingsley would have to bear that devastating consequence.
Kingsley smiled reassuringly and said, Ms. Rhodes, trust me.
I will bring Mr. Chapman back safely.
Kingsley, are you trying to be the hero again? Are you looking for more trouble? Eunice snapped angrily. Do you understand what will happen if you fail to save Mr. Chapman ? If I can’t bring him back, I’ll take full responsibility, Kingsley replied coldly, which silenced everyone as they watched him slowly approach Marcus
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Eunice turned to Lauren and said, Miss, how can you just there and let him act so recklessly? In this situation, whoever tries to save Mr. Chapman takes on the risk of failure.
Think about it if they fail to save Mr. Chapman, wont that person face the hatred of all employees? They might even face criminal charges ! Lauren responded with a cold laugh, Are you finished? If so, let me explain something to you Whats that ? Eunice asked, bewildered
Laurens face showed contempt as she spoke calmly, In the face of saving a human life, Dr. Baldwin has put aside his personal reputation and is moving forward despite enormous risks.
Yet you call this reckless behavior.
So, Eunice, you think being a coward, being fearful, lacking empathy and compassion is the right way to go? She added, And you think Dr. Baldwin, whos facing potential public criticism and bearing the pressure of becoming a target of blame while trying to save someone alone, is a foot? Eunice was at a loss for words, Miss, I Lauren smirked and declared, A man who does what must be done despite resistance thats the kind of partner Ive been searching for my whole life! If Mr. Chapman does jump and we can’t save him, Dr. Baldwin and I will bear all responsibility together.
As Kingsley carefully approached Marcus, the latters eyes showed wild desperation as he shouted, Mr. Baldwin, don’t come any closer, or I’ll jump right now! Kingsley immediately stopped and raised both hands in a peaceful gesture, saying with a smile, Mr. Chapman, come down first.
Whatevers troubling you, lets talk it out, man to man.
If we can’t work it out, you can hold me accountable however you want.
Marcus shook his head and said, Its useless.
Nothing can help.
Ive lost everything all I have left is this worthless life.
Since everyones pushing me, I’ll prove my point with death! Kingsley kept his voice steady.
Mr. Chapman, as your friend, I can’t agree with that.
Life isnt meant to be easy.
As men, were supposed to face challenges head on and keep moving forward.
He asked, If one obstacle can bring us down, how are we supposed to handle the countless hurdles ahead? For a moment, Marcus seemed dazed, his expression softening.
