'That was awesome.'Philip thought to himself as he stirred awake and sat up on the edge of his bed. He was feeling good, he didn't know why. Maybe it was the dream he had, but he couldn't recall anything about it. He just knew that it was about him and Carla. So his dopamine levels were a little high this morning. He was in a good mood.He let out a small chuckle as he picked a side bedframe picture of Carla and caressed it."Good morning love." He whispered to it. "You'll be mine one day, I just know it." He said to it confidently. But the Carla in the portrait just maintained her slight smile that seemed a bit forced. She wasn't a fan of pictures so taking one had been quite of an hassle for her.Philip disregarded it. Whether it was a forced or a genuine smile, it didn't matter to him. She was beautiful without question. She was giving him a tough time in courting her but he wasn't ready to give up yet. He only had more passion whenever he looked at her picture or saw her physica

"Hah..." It was a tired sigh that fell from Maxwell's mouth after hearing Darius' intentions.He suddenly had a bad premonition. "Wait a minute young master..." He blurted out with his arm outstretched as if to stop Darius from moving. Darius looked up from his computer that he was browsing through. He was curious what was going through Maxwell's head that made him have such a reaction."What is the matter, Max?" He asked"Young Master... Please don't tell me this is going to be a scam business?" Maxwell asked in doubt.Darius laughed. "You're so smart Maxwell." Then he smiled."Naturally, you didn't think I'd actually work with them did you? This is revenge Maxwell, not an actual business." His gaze turned hard. "They have to suffer consequences in any way."Maxwell released another sigh.. "just take it easy on them Young Master. His father has nothing to do with Philip's actions." He tried to plead for them."Is that what you think? That he's actually innocent?" Darius scoffed. "The

"Knock! Knock!""You may come in!" Darius's voice resounded through the doors to the person knocking on the other side. In the next moment the door opened and then.."Click! Clop! Click!"Darius instinctually looked up from his table to look the person who paraded into his office. Then Alicia walked into his office with a sophisticated knee length sheath dress in a deep navy blue color that clung to her attractive figure."Good morning Darius." Alicia greeted Darius with a pleasant smile as her radiant skin reflected the morning sunlight that peeked into the office from the windows. It was like an angel had walked in."Good morning Alicia. I trust you had a great night. Sorry for the short notice..." Darius said indifferently. Even though his marriage with Carla wasn't in a good state, Darius was not fazed by the lovely appearance of Alicia. She was beautiful, yes, but he wasn't sexually attracted to her. If you asked Darius to describe the relationship between two of them, he would s

Darius burst out laughing...He had been watching the whole scene play out from another room. His attention was fixed particularly on Philip. He had carefully noted his actions and responses to everything.Darius didn't actually expect that Philip would sign the document immediately. Before the meeting, Alicia had given him some tips about Philip. She had met his kind of person before and a big idea of how he was going to act.Darius and Alicia had planned how everything would play out. Darius had not been sure it would go according to plan but when he saw the result of everything, he was astonished himself. "She's really smart." Darius whispered to himself.When he was preparing the documents, Alicia had told him to not bother about trying to manipulate Philip. She told Darius to state the conditions in a straightforward manner because she was confident that Philip wouldn't go through it. Not after the long 'speech' by Maxwell.And it happened just as she expected. That's why Alicia

It took about Twenty minutes for Philip to tell them his story as they all listened with rapt attention.It was when Philip explained how the opportunity to get the contract that Carla finally understood everything. Meanwhile her Grandmother and parents were all letting out gasps throughout the entire time Philip spoke.Madam Felicia bombarded Philip with a lot of questions and Philip answered arrogantly and confidently. Everytime he spoke, their eyes all shown with jealousy and greed. A multi billion dollar deal with the Charlton Company wasn't small! And he had even spoken with the ghost CEO of the company, even though it was a phone call. It was something to boast of and be proud of."Your father must be proud of you." Madam Felicia said in admiration. Philip nodded with pride. He was the one who had been chosen. It was almost like the Ladrak Company had been the lucky one to enter into a contract. There were other companies that the Charlton company could have conducted business t
