Humble Abode
Jason nodded in response, and then he drove through the driveway that led to the house before he parked in front of it, and turned off the engine. “We are here.” He turned to look at Brenda who nodded almost immediately. “Yes, thank you. I will just hurry inside and change. I hope you don’t mind waiting for me.” “That’s okay.” Jason nodded with a smile and Brenda opened the door before she alighted from the car. “On a second thought…” She stopped herself from shutting the door almost immediately, turning to look at Jason who was still staring at her. “Why don’t you come inside and I can make you a cup of coffee? You are already here, you might as well come in.” “Are you sure? I wouldn’t want you to be late for your appointment.” Jason said calmly even though he liked the idea of going into her house. “It's fine, I am sure that I can spare a few minutes. Come on, I insist…” Brenda gestured to him with an anticipatory smile on her face, and then she waited patiently for hi

Trivial
Brenda walked closer to Jason, and then she stood a few inches away from him with her purse in both hands. “Are you set?” “Yeah, I will take care of that later. There is no time.” Brenda looked at the cup and saucer on the stool briefly before she turned to look at Jason who nodded at once. “Let’s go then.” Jason led the way, and Brenda followed almost immediately while she brought out her key from her purse, and locked the door as soon as she was out of the house. Jason unlocked the door to the car and opened the front seat for her, gesturing to her to get in with a bright smile that expressed his admiration for both her beauty and her apparel. “Thank you.” Brenda chuckled while she got into the car, and lifted the tail of her gown before Jason shut the door and went into the car from the other side. He turned on the ignition of the car at once and drove straight to the hospital while Brenda pulled out her phone from her purse, and started to operate it. “What? That wa

Consent
Jason locked the car as soon as he got out, and then he went into the hospital with Brenda walking several meters ahead of him. Just like Jason, the nurses marveled the moment they saw Brenda walking toward her office, and even some of the people seated by the corner of the Reception couldn’t stop staring. “You look amazing, Doctor Brenda.” Said one of the nurses, causing Brenda to chuckle softly before she responded with a smile on her face. “Thank you so much, nurse Catherine.” She said as soon as she slowed down, and then she continued with her previous pace, waving at some of the people seated by the corner of the Reception. The moment Jason walked into the hospital and the nurses on duty saw him, they began to whisper words to themselves, giggling at the things they said to each other. Jason realized that they were talking about him from the way they stole glances at him, but he ignored them and continued walking toward his Grandfather’s ward. He got in eventually, a

Take a Break
Jason stayed with his Grandfather for a few minutes until he remembered that he was supposed to have a meeting with Kelvin who had called him earlier. “Grandpa? I really have to go now, I have an appointment and it’s really important.” Jason said to his Grandfather who gave him an inquisitive stare. “You should be more interested in making Brenda your girlfriend at least before making her your wife. You should be thinking of going on another date with her.” Lord Walker teased, looking at Jason with a smile on his face. “You really don’t want to give up, old man.” “Oh no. I don’t plan to give up anytime soon. What I want you to do is settle down as soon as possible, and I will be out of your case.” Lord Walker lifted both hands and then he looked at Harry for support, but the Butler wasn’t sure of what to say. “I think you should talk to him, Harry. He probably thinks he is still a teenager. When I was your age, I was already married.” “Good Lord! Grandpa? Are you not going

The Syndicate
Meanwhile, Jason texted an address to Kelvin a few minutes after he had driven out of the hospital premises, and then he drove to the address himself with so much anticipation written all over his face. The address he sent was an abandoned warehouse, and as soon as he arrived, he scoured the entire vicinity to be sure he was alone just before he turned off the engine of the vehicle, and sighed softly. In less than thirty minutes, he heard a tap on the window close to him, and he turned to see that Kelvin had arrived. Instantly, he unlocked the car to let him in, and Kelvin got in at once, carrying his brown backpack which he dropped on his lap as soon as he shut the door. “Good day to you, Young Master.” “Thank you, Kelvin. Thank you for coming on such short notice.” “Not a problem at all,” Kelvin responded with a smile that appeared a few seconds after he greeted Jason who nodded with a smile as well. “I hope you have some good news for me, Kelvin,” Jason asked with a l

Familiar Member
Kelvin was silent for a few seconds while he thought about the question Jason asked him. It became obvious afterward that he wasn’t sure of the right response to give to him, and Jason sighed while he gave up any form of expectation to get any substantial response from him. “I don’t think I got anything related to that from my findings, Young Master. Dalton did most of his business with foreign clients, and even though his establishment was located in this city, it was only open to those foreigners who flew in from several countries all over the world to see him. I don’t think he had any affiliation with your family, Young Master.” Jason sighed again when Kelvin was done talking, and after he had stared at the screen of the laptop for a few seconds, he cleared his throat while the thoughts that he had in his mind continued to linger. “How does this relate to my Grandfather? Why would he want to kill him if they didn't ave anything to do with each other?” Jason whispered only to

Potentially unsafe
Jason woke up in less than three hours just as soon as the alarm he had set went off. He pushed himself up from the bed and went into the bathroom to have a bath. It was already past the twentieth hour, and there were a lot of thoughts still running through his mind while the water from the shower streamed down his body. He got out as soon as he was done and put on a fresh pair of black suits, brown shoes, a Rolex watch, and a silver necklace to match. He applied to one of the colognes in his collection, and after he had looked at his reflection in the mirror in front of him for a long time, he nodded in satisfaction, and then he walked to the cabinet beside the bed where he grabbed his phone and the card given to him by Larry Bardolf when he invited him to his club after the auction. Jason was determined to find out the kind of involvement Larry had with his father, and when he heard that he had an affiliation with the man who almost killed his Grandfather, his strong will wa

Club Luna
It took them close to an hour to get to their destination, and as soon as James drove the car into the vicinity of the tall building, he parked a few meters in front of it while the other guard quickly got down from the car and opened the back door for Jason. “Thank you…” Jason stepped out of the car while the guard shut the door, and walked beside Jason toward the entrance of the club which boomed with deafening sounds of disco music that was accompanied by disco lights of several colors that emitted from every little opening in the building. Club Luna was the biggest club in Granada Hills and even beyond. It was a place where highly profiled men came to spend money and to see beautiful ladies who didn't mind showcasing several parts of their bodies just for the amount of money they were going to earn at the end of each party that usually listed all through the night. Apart from the casino and the pool that were in some parts of the building, there was also a VIP room that no o

Striking Resemblance
Larry observed the men for a while, and he could see they were not so comfortable with the presence of the strange younger man even though he appeared to be very rich. “Calm down, guys. I know what you all are thinking, but I assure you, he can be trusted.” He said with an assuring smile on his face, but some of the men found his words really hard to believe. “Mr. Jones and I had a great time at one of the auctions I attended this month, the last one actually. He won me in a bidding, or should I say I let him win me? He was very persistent, and I really liked that style.” Larry continued while he went to a couch close to Jason and sat down without taking away the smile on his face. “You have absolutely nothing to be worried about, he is one of us, do not look at his young age. I can assure you that he is one of us.” Larry concluded, looking at the other six men one after the other. Some of them nodded in agreement, while the rest who were still not convinced gave Jason suspici

Jason leaned forward almost immediately, and so did the ladies seated at both sides who had their hands all over him. “Mr. Jones? Is everything alright?” The man asked again without taking his eyes away from Jason who cleared his throat before giving him a response. “Yeah! Absolutely, everything is alright!” He responded with a firm tone even though he avoided the man’s eyes afterward. “Maybe he has eyes for that fine young lady with you!” One of the men standing close by said with a smirk, and almost everyone laughed at his words excluding Jason who felt a bit embarrassed. “I don’t mind exchanging her with one of those ladies seated close to you. I love that one with the red lingerie, she is going to really mourn loudly!” “Oh, come on, Mr. Hernandez! You really cannot take your eyes off anything pretty! You should be focused on the beautiful lady in front of you!” Larry said to the man whom Jason had been looking at, but he scoffed at him and pushed the lady rocking him awa
