When Liam gets to work the next day, Annie meets him with an odd smile.‘’Sir, what in the hell are we doing with a cleaning company?’’‘’I don’t know, but some idiot lost a bet to me and now it is all ours,’’ Liam tells her. Then let her know the happenings of the night before.‘’And you are an even bigger idiot for entering that bet. What if you had lost?’’‘’I wouldn’t have. That fool’s own friends rat him out. While he was boasting, they told me he has magnetic darts. He would go around talking big, making impossible bets, and beat the living shit out of people if they lost.’’Annie nods. ‘’So the fool got fooled.’’‘’You never said it any better. Anyway, I don’t need that company. You can sell it.’’‘’You know what? On second thought, there are extravagant parties in Notting Hill all the while, plus those big mansions always want their white Persian rugs cleaned, so I say we keep it.’’‘’Always long as it isn’t costing more to keep it, then fine.’’‘’Is there anything new about t

The woman comes out with an ugly puffy pink dress and hands it to Miranda. ‘’I think this will look great on you.’’Miranda frowns. ‘’You have got to be kidding? That dress is, well. Not appealing to the eyes.’’The woman gives her a fake smile. ‘’And what would you know? This is a five hundred dollar piece.’’‘’Yeah, but with all respect. Being expensive doesn't mean it is good. I don’t really see myself in this dress. Can you get me something else, please?’’ Miranda asks politely.The woman scoffs. ‘’You sure are picky for someone who isn’t spending money, but that is with girls like you.’’‘’What do you mean by that?’’‘’I mean, little cheap whores. The only thing you are good at is using your body to catch these rich men and nothing else.’’Miranda’s face goes red. ‘’How can you say that? You don’t even know me.’’‘’I know enough, so you either-’’Miranda walks away from her so she doesn’t hear any more of her insults.She couldn’t wipe away all her tears in time to hide them from

‘’Where is your date?’’ Jack asks.‘’She is somewhere. Lacy was being rude to her so I should go get her something.’’‘’Who is Lacy?’’ Jack asks.‘’The girl this is for.’’‘’Oh, I had no idea what her name was.’’‘’Is it even important?’’ Liam asks.Jack shrugs. ‘’So, what is with you and that girl?’’‘’Miranda? Just being nice.’’Jack scoffs. ‘’Men aren’t just being nice to women. You want to fuck her.’’Liam moves his head from side to side. ‘’I can’t deny that face, but she will be just like the others. Fuck her once and she gets obsessed and won’t leave me alone, so I won’t even go there..’’‘’Are maybe you will be the one who gets obsessed?’’ Craig says, coming over with a female that is wiping her eyes.‘’Why would I get obsessed?’’ Liam makes a face.‘’Paid off her student loan, brought her to your house during the flood.’’ Craig pauses as if he is thinking. ‘’She drove your Bugatti and now here she is, and who knows how much you have spent on her for the night?’’‘’You know Cr

Liam sits beside Annie, around a round table that has four other people present as they and others are there for a company state dinner. Though he doesn’t want to be there, Liam was forced by Annie to attend.The man that sits to the left of Liam, begins to brag.“Liam looks like you aren’t the only big thing in this city. My father is the owner of CityLink, the new internet provider.’’ Liam nods, reading the name of his tag. “That’s nice, Jeremy. I wish him all the best in his success.”Jeremy smiles and says. “Thanks, but we will only be providing services to a selected few. I can put a word in and let him provide you with the best.’’After he says the words, an older man pulls away from his wife. ‘’I couldn’t help but overhear what you said. Would you mind putting in a few good words for me as well? I run several restaurant chains and would love to have a better connection there.’’‘’There you have your first client.’’ Liam nods.“No.” Jeremy shakes his head and says, “we will onl

The next day, Liam is up early for work. The maids had already made breakfast for him—egg benedict on top of garlic bread and pineapple juice.Liam was never a coffee or tea guy, so he always opts that out and goes on with his day.‘’Sir, the dean of Notting Hill First College wants to remind you about the graduation this coming Thursday.’’Liam nods, biting into his bread.‘’And congrats on the awards last night. I wanted to tell you that, but you must have come home late.’’‘’Thank you. I stop by a party on the way here.’’Carl nods.‘’What do you know about this girl by the name of Chanel? She lives north.’’‘’Oh, Carlson’s daughter.’’ Carl pauses. ‘’They don’t mingle much, but Joe Carlson deals in arms trading.’’‘’Is he doing it legally?’’ Liam asks.‘’Who knows, but he has been doing it for many years now. He lost a son because of.’’‘’Is that so?’’ Liam asks, leaning back because he knows Carl will dish him the dirty.‘’About three months after his business kicked up, Joe was d
