Janet's mouth fell apart and she stared continuously at Bryan. What was he talking about?"Ugh, I don't understand. What do you mean by what you just said? Why would I be thrown out in a shameful manner and who was going to embarrass me?"Bryan fell silent. Turning around, he began to make his way back to where Janet stood.Standing face to face with the lady, Bryan held her by the chin and lifted her face. "A lot of things have happened these past few days that you are unaware of. It was the reason I haven't spoken to you. I didn't know how to explain things to you, that's why I haven't called."With her face ruffled into a frown, Janet shoved Bryan's hand aside and stared intently at him. "What are you talking about? Will you just go straight to the point." Janet was already losing her patience and was no longer in the mood. Clearly, Bryan brought her to the place just to waste her time. At first, she thought that he was depressed and tried to end his life but that was not true. "

Arthur got to work and went back to his duties as usual. While at work, he kept his eyes peeled to see if he'd catch a glimpse of Jesse. He would have gone to her office if he wanted to but felt it wouldn't be a good idea. She wanted to keep her distance and Arthur had to respect her decision. All he had to do was to carefully get closer to her. He had to win her trust again. It was just like when he was beginning to woo her.As he tried to take his mind off everything, Jesse began to approach him. At first, Arthur's heart began to pound faster. However, he managed to let out a deep sigh and calmed his nerves a little. As he stared at the figure drawing closer to him, he kept wondering what was going on in her mind.In a few seconds, Jesse stood before him with an expression that he could not read."Hi." Jesse greeted while scrutinizing him. She had already seen him beyond the security uniform he was putting on."Hi, Jess. How are you doing?" Arthur had a glint in his eyes as he repl

Arthur listened in silence.Morris observed his expression before he continued. "I hope I'm not prying? It's just that I want to know what transpired between you and your family? All these while, I really thought that you didn't have a family?"Arthur sighed and replied to him. "I didn't consider them as my family, that was why I never spoke about them. If they were really my family, I wouldn't have worked in a hotel. They would not have sent me to prison."Morris gave him a confused look. As he watched Arthur speak with so much contempt for his family, he could only imagine how much his friend was hurting. Indeed, Arthur had been hurt very badly. It was even more painful that his family cast him out after plotting against him."Ugh, Sir."Arthur gave Morris a dirty look and he corrected himself."Sorry. Arthur, I'm really sorry that you went through so much pain in the hands of your family. Now I understand why you never spoke about them. However, I believe that your father is sorry

Arthur went to work the next morning with the hope that he'll encounter the strange man again. Although he didn't go in search of the man at the place, he decided to go about his duty. He thought that if he was meant to speak with the man again, fate would surely bring them together. He would be taking Morris's advice to hear the message first before thinking of the next action.The mall was a big one and it would be hard to find someone unless it was a coincidence.Arthur was at his duty post when Nick walked up to him. It had been a few days since he spoke with the man."Hi, Arthur." He greeted him with a wide grin and Arthur knew what it meant. Nick wanted to gossip."Hi, Nick." Arthur replied and turned his face away.Sensing that there was a problem, Nick stopped grinning and seriously inquired. "What is it this time? Are you two having troubles already."Arthur sighed but didn't say anything."Come on, Arthur. You can always count on me, you should know that already."Nodding h

Oscar brought out a wad of cash and handed it over to Arthur who took the money and chuckled. "You're giving me some money."Oscar nodded his head and from the corner of his eyes, he saw the taxi driver giggle which made him begin to wonder if he had done something wrong."Ugh, is there anything wrong with giving you some money? Maybe you should use it for your cab fare." Oscar suggested but Arthur refused and tried to return the money but the man would not take it back."It has left my bag and can't be returned so it's now yours. See you when you come around."With that, Oscar left the money for him and went back to his car while Arthur and the taxi driver watched him drive off.Staring at the money on his hand, Arthur could not help but start laughing while the cab driver giggled. Oscar must have thought of him as a pauper. The man thought that Arthur was managing because he was no longer with his father.He took a long pause before throwing the money at the front seat. "He said it'
