"Son, how long have you been standing there? Were you listening to my conversation?" Mr Devine asked Vincent."No. I just came here now. Though, I wish I came earlier so I could understand why you're behaving so jumpy." Vincent replied."Jumpy? Me? No. This is just stress from work. I can assure you. I just have a lot on my plate to deal with." Mr Devine said."Okay, but why did you just leave the table like that? You're getting my mother worried and worked up." Vincent said.Mr Devine massaged between his eyebrows with his fingers and he shut his eyes feeling frustrated all of a sudden. He was so fed up with his life. These days he just has control over nothing.Mr Devine couldn't tell Vincent anything about what was happening because if he warned Vincent against Ferdinand then it would only arouse suspicion in Vincent and he would want to find out more about what is happening.Vincent was a smart kid. He was sure to figure out something fishy if Mr Devine made a single sentence with

Vincent waited for Kate to shake his hand but she just stared it down. "You're the son of Mr Devine Victor. Right?" Kate asked Vincent."I am," Vincent answered.Kate scanned Vincent from head to toe with her eyes and then back up, "I don't shake the hands of men that are not daring." Kate said to Vincent.Vincent raised an eyebrow at her."Kate!" Ferdinand scolded her for what she said."What? You can't tell me who to respect or not. I am still my person. I can make that choice for myself." Kate retorted at Ferdinand."So sorry about that." Ferdinand apologized to Vincent."Really?" Vincent questioned Kate, ignoring Ferdinand's apology."Yes," Kate answered."What makes a man daring? I am curious to know that." Vincent said to Kate."Let's just say, those are details left for me to know and for you to find out yourself," Kate replied and sat down to order a drink for herself.Ferdinand tried to stop Kate from drinking. He hated it whenever she drinks because she always takes it over

"It was Mr Idris Ferdinand who brought Vincent in." the security man repeated himself to Mr Devine."I know! I heard you the first time!" Mr Devine shouted. He groaned and ordered the security men to leave the mansion and they did."Devine, you have to help me get him to his bedroom," Veronica said as she made Vincent sit up on the floor."Veronica, the maids can take care of that! Maids! Damn it! Where are the maids in this house when you need them?!" Mr Devine yelled.Veronica was surprised to see this violent side of Devine. This wasn't the man she know all those years ago. Back then he cared but now he's different. It's like something is eating him up from the inside... A pang of guilt... And she doesn't know what it is. Neither does he want to talk about it."We're here sir." the maids answered Mr Devine's call."What took you this long?! Get him to his room now!" Mr Devine ordered.As soon as the maids start helping Veronica with Vincent, Mr Devine walked off upset.Veronica wat

Later in the day after work was over, Ferdinand arrived in front of Dominic's house as he earlier intended to and told the gardener to inform Dominic that he was there to see him.The gardener did exactly as he was told to by Ferdinand. After all, who in the city doesn't know him? It was best to just carry out his order without complaint even if you work for a different family.After getting inside the house, the gardener spotted Dominic and went straight to him to pass the information, "Sir, Mr Idris Ferdinand is here to see you." he said to Dominic."What for?" Dominic asked the gardener, feeling surprised. He had never had anything to do with Ferdinand in particular even if they worked in the same company so why was Ferdinand looking for him? Why was he being asked for in his house?"I don't know sir. He just said I should inform you that he is here." the gardener replied."Alright. You can go. I will meet him." Dominic said to the gardener. "Alright, sir."After the gardener left

"About what?" Dominic asked."First park your car and then we can talk," Vincent said and ended the call just before Dominic could try to oppose.Vincent saw Dominic turn his car to a side and his driver followed. Dominic's car was parked at the side of a fence and Dominic waited for Vincent at the side of his car with his arms folded.Vincent instructed his driver to park beside Dominic's car and as soon as that was done, Vincent got out of his car and dragged Dominic to a more hidden corner."What is this all about?" Dominic asked Vincent."It's about the truth. What were you going to tell me back at the office? I noticed you went silent because of Ferdinand so now that he isn't here, I want you to tell me." Vincent said to Dominic.Dominic kept quiet and stared blankly at Vincent, "If I said anything then it would cost me a whole lot. Vincent hates me and there is no way he would help my situation even if I say things to his benefit." Dominic thought to himself."It wasn't anything
