Laxus had been plagued with two major thoughts; how to get Nessy to accept his job offer, because he still wanted her to manage the store, and what he would present to the man that was coming to Abby’s house. Frankly, this was an honorable invitation, and not just that, it was also a rare one, and Laxus knew more than anyone else that he should never let this opportunity slip past him.That morning, Laxus kept going through his files, thinking of the right pitch to make. He had to get it right, because Laxus was not a man that even liked to fail. Also, he knew that he would have to come up with something mind-blowing and fresh. The Zayomi company was the largest distillery company anyone had ever seen or heard about, and as such, the man coming might have heard most of the ideas that Laxus might have used on his own company.Then there was the issue of his company being new in the distillery business, which meant that he would have to go extra hard.Laxus continued to go through the f

“Maybe I should have taken the offer,” Nessy said as she lay on her makeshift bed in the counter and thought deeply.She hadn’t been hungry since she last left Bowman’s house, although Nessy was deeply pained that she did not get to eat to her heart’s content or even pack up the food because of Laxus, knowing that she was broke and hungry.Now that she was back to her shack, she did not have a dime to buy any food. Things were very difficult, and Lily was unsafe out here. She could not even believe that despite all these challenges, she allowed her pride to get the better of her.Nessy wasn’t even that kind of person. With everything that she had gone through in life, she could even take the job of wiping the very ground that her enemy walks on if it would feed her.“You know you need the money to feed and get an apartment, but you foolishly turned down an offer that could fetch you all that,” Nessy scolded herself.She bit her fingers in regret. She really shouldn’t have turned Laxu

Nessy could not recall the last time she sat at the back of a beautiful and expensive car…actually, she had never sat in a beautiful and fancy car of her own free will, so she had never enjoyed any of the drives.All the times that Nessy had been inside cars like this, she had been forced against her will, from when her parents gave her off to Gary for free because of the money they owed him, to when Linnie Kinkaid persistently disturbed her.Right now, Nessy was not being forced at all, and she allowed herself to enjoy the drive to Laxus’s mansion.However, Nessy’s mind wandered to an uncomfortable territory; she could not stop thinking and imagining Laxus on his date with a woman he referred to as Abby Golden. She would never even be able to forget her name. Nessy knew that it was none of her business, but she could not stop thinking about it. Even though she might not know this woman, Nessy suspected that she would be a wealthy and powerful woman in the country. People like Laxus al

Linnie finished dinner about an hour ago and she just relaxed in the living room. She wanted to go upstairs and maybe sleep early, but she also had the urge to just stay in the living room, and she decided to go with the urge of the living room.Linnie was already used to having dinner alone and most times, going to bed before Luther arrived from the company or wherever he always went after work, because Linnie knew for a fact that when Luther always arrived home was never the time that he usually closed from the company. Initially, she had thought to trail him, but when better and important things came up in her mind, like securing her place in the Kinkaid Distillery Company, she abandoned that thought.While watching the TV, Linnie’s phone chimed; it was a notification from the blogs. Taking her phone and looking at her screen, Linnie’s eyes widened at what she saw.“Two Billionaire CEOs seem to be giving us the love vibe! For the longest time, we have not had a power couple who are

“You made the right move, Laxus,” Bowman said to Laxus proudly when Laxus arrived at his house after the close of work and told him everything about his deal with Thaddeus, and also showed him the contract. “You see, I did not have a single doubt about your skill and integrity and intelligence as a business man when I picked you to run that company,” Bowman commended, making Laxus’s head to swell in pride.“I wanted to be certain that you were cool with it,” Laxus said.“Of course, I am,” Bowman said. “Some other dubious businessmen would have taken the poor man’s idea, used it for his own benefit without settling him, but you did not,” Bowman said, and unknown to Laxus, he was referring to Darwin.“I couldn’t have done that,” Laxus said. “Even my conscience wouldn’t have allowed me,” Laxus added in honesty.“In business, a man must be ruthless and dogged when need be, but he must do so with some iota of sense and conscience,” Bowman seconded Laxus. “So you can send him the money and
