The boys bowed their heads again and the curtains was shut. Laquan pressed his lips together. "Mr Laquan, their song was quite comforting, don't you agree?"Stephanie smiled at him. Oof! Is she a witch? Why is he asking him something he doesn't know. "It was. I see you have good ears too,miss Stephanie."he smiled,not taking his last statement into consideration. Stephanie's face reddened in fury. Laquan squinted his eyes. Why is she suddenly frowning? Did he said anything wrong? He retraced his words and his mouth opened, slightly. Oh.. He cachinnates. He outrightly insulted her right there. She deserves it, though...for having such a bad mouth. "I would play the guitar tonight."a woman announced and stood up. "You already learnt how to play that?" "Super yes." "Then, I would play the jazz."a man chimed. "You would do a very bad job,I can assure you of that."another woman said while standing up. Most of them moved to the podium. Laquan,Britney and one other man wer

^° "Good morning,miss Sophie."Sophie's assistant strides into her office. Sophie nodded. She has became more reserved ever since Lucas threatened her into getting back with him. "Trying to get a call across to Mr Laquan in the past few days hasn't been easy. Why don't you try calling him, ma'am?. I'm afraid time is not our best friend and the least we would do is to waste the little one we have on something we are not yet sure about." The corners of Sophie's lips quirked up. Laquan. His name still sends her crazy,she wouldn't lie. She took a deep breath in and nodded at her assistant. "Sure,I will. You can go." "Alright, ma'am."she bowed and left. Sophie didn't realize when her mouth stretched into a smile. She picked up her phone and browsed through her contacts list. Does she even have his number? Of course,she could easily get access to his company's line but it would be night time in America by now so she might not be able to connect with him using that. She woul

Laquan and Jack engaged in a staring competition. Oscar and Jack's assistant were busy having theirs too. Laquan placed a leg over the other and sipped out of his tea. The day was the next after the previous day. Jack wanted to meet and they decided to have a quick chat in a teashop. "I won't congratulate you."Jack uttered, finally breaking the serenity between them. Laquan's hand hitched a little. His right brow perked up,and he gently placed his cup on the table. "You're the type that doesn't accept defeat easily..I see."Quan replied with a long face. Jack scoffed ad threw his head to the side. "Oh,please,"he inhaled a breath and gazed back at Quan. "I don't recognize you as the champion which is why I won't congratulate you. You won this at the last minute. You won because of me."he enunciated. Quan entangled his finger with the handle of the cup and stirred his tea. "I don't comprehend."he muttered. "If I hadn't extended the deadline for the competition,you wouldn't h

Later. .. "Boss,you called me."Oscar breathed out as he walked inside Quan's office,donned in a Janitor's uniform. Laquan scanned his dressing and chuckled. "I see we have a new janitor here. A good one."he teased. Oscar huffed. "I..have to go back and finish a couple of things. What do you need me for?" "Nothing. I was just wondering what you look like in your new uniform. Being a cleaner seems to befit you, Oscar, don't you think?" Oscar's eyes dulled and he panted out. "Since you do not need anything,boss,then I shall take my leave."he bowed politely. "Good-bye!"Laquan waved at him. "You're not even going to take pity on me?"Oscar scoffed. "You are diligent in your job. It will only make me a bad guy to snatch that job away from you."Laquan smirked. "I will go and come back soon." "No,no need. I will ring you up if I need your service so just go to your office straight when you're done with the cleaning." "I hear you,boss."Oscar pursed his lips together and move

Grandma?. Laquan's brows creased up. He stared back at the house before staring back at the man. "I don't have any."he uttered. The man lift an eye up. That was when Stephen's words struck Laquan's mind. He has two grandmas. One is dead and Stephen didn't reveal where the other was even though she is alive. So,this man standing before him is from his second grandmother?,Julia?. "Master?"the man called. Laquan snapped out of his unconsciousness and sighed. "Why...does she want to see me?"he demanded,slowly. If he could remember very well,they all abandoned him. Why does she want to see him now too?. "I am not going."Quan muttered before the man could give him a reply. "She is waiting for you, master. She has been waiting for you for years. Why don't you wanna see her?." "Did you just said years?"Quan scoffed. Unlike Stephen,she knew he was born? Arg! They are all driving him crazy. He decided not to assume again as that wasn't helping. "I will follow you."he de
