Kendrick stuttered, he couldn't imagine her driving away without handing him the video he requested for. He quickly turned to Xavier who was standing close to the door. "Get a car ready, I'll have to go pick up something at the Tower. His words settled like an order, carrying the weight of his emotions, and Xavier replied with a determined nod, "Okay sir." Xavier replied and moved to it instantly. Soon, he was ready to leave, and Kendrick hopped into the car and they drove off. Some minutes later, they arrived at the outskirts of Diamond Tower, but to Kendrick's surprise, the guards informed him that Sophia had not stopped by since they left.In a calm and modest manner, the guard said, his eyes looking curious, "She didn't return to the inn, sir… Is everything alright?, I thought you left together?" Kendrick quickly turned, his eyes inspecting the cars that lined up in the parking zone, and saw that there was truly no sign of the car they drove in. Kendrick's eyes narrowed
"What the heck!!... How would you do this?" The man protested, "This is a public place, Carol… Would you wait?" He added. "Bob,.. there's nothing on earth that could make me lose my grip on you,... After making me sign the guarantor's document for your loaned amount, you disappeared with it .. right? You thought you were smart!" She said, her voice tearing out in the air. "You keep your mouth shut, Carol,... what did you expect me to do when my business crumbled, can you let go of my shirt, or I'm going to sue you for publicly harassing me!" The man replied, trying to loosen Carol's grip on his shirt. "Are you gonna sound that way? You want me to show you that I had reported your fraudulent activities to the police already? You want to spend your days behind bars?" Carol exclaimed, shaking her head.Kendrick stood, observing the veins thickening on the woman's neck as she yelled, she was dragging unnecessary attention, and everyone would say he was at the scene. So he interrupted
In the Villa of the Commissioner of Health, Dr. J Ryder. He sat, leaning against his Swivel chair, confusion etched on his face, with great intensity he slammed his hands on the desk heavily. He developed a great level of animosity for Kendrick instantly. How would he go beyond his boundaries? He muttered to himself.Like a flash of light, he picks up his phone, places a call, and sets the phone on speaker. A deep male voice answered from the other side, his voice echoed in the speaker. It was Alex's."Hello old boy," Alex said. "What have you done about the news that's fast spreading?... How on earth did you lead that lad to my safehouse?" He asked, his voice carried the weight of bitterness that lingered in his mind. "I am keeping everything in place to ensure he has a toothache, Dad…. He is biting more than he can chew." Alexander snarled." Where are you at the moment?" Ryder asked. "Dad .. you know, the funniest part of it is that, immediately I dropped those items and tu
Immediately Kendrick turned, his eyes flared in surprise, a man pointing a gun at him, just behind his ears. His mouth dropped open, forming a silent 'O' of surprise and terror. "Don't move! Raise your hands man!! The attacker whispered to Kendrick from behind. Kendrick raised his hands slowly, his palms outward in a defensive gesture, " Alright… That's alright… take it easy man." He said in a surprising time as he shifted a bit. The air in the Inn was cold, but Kendrick felt drops of sweat run down his neck. He needed to be calculative since he didn't understand what the man needed. The observers in the hall, at high alert yelled. The securities marched towards the scene, The man, observant of it, yelled even louder with a commanding tone, " Nobody moves!! Any other step or noise and I'm going to pull the trigger!!" The air clouded with tension, the sudden silence of whispering voices set in, their laughter and chatter halted, as all eyes fixed on the scene unfolding
Some hours passed, and the eating and drinking was over, Kendrick turned his eyes from where he was sitting, his gaze went straight in a distant corridor that led to the workers unit. He shifted his gaze, his eyes widened, "there she is." He said to himself.He has just sighted Sophia from a distance, he stood up and excused himself as he walked towards the office unit. "Where are you going, Kendrick? Kelly asked." A minute bro, I'll be back." He replied coldly.He walked straight faster, he needed to ensure he had the footage by all means, his friends and relatives are already in Texas, how absurd would it be to hear that he couldn't defend himself from what was coming to him?" He muttered as he moved.Soon, he approached the the entrance, two huge guards maned the way, his eyes moved gently to a writing on the top of the door. "Out of Bounds, Workers entry only." He shook his head gently, he knew he would need to be permitted before he could have access, so he turned to the re
Not long had Mr. Powell walked in, Sophia rushed out to greet her father, she approached with a smile on her face, but immediately she emerged to see Kendrick with him, her eyes narrowed. An awestruck expression clouded her eyes."Come on my precious Jewel.. How have you been?" Mr. Powell said as he hugged her closely. "I'm fine Dad, … when did you fly into the state?" She asked."Just this afternoon dear. He quickly turned to Kendrick, here… young master, Kendrick Peterson… were you aware you had a high profile custormer of this nature?" He asked Sophia who pretended like she never knew him."Mr. Kendrick, here's my daughter, … Sophia, my only precious Jewel." He gestured to Kendrick. He smiled slowly, a feigned smile that made it seem like he too was seeing her for the first time. "Please come in, … why didn't you tell me that you were returning today,... I would have prepared a grand reception for your arrival." Sophia said, her hands gesturing in the air. " That's even th
Immediately he said that he turned to see that Mr. Powell was greatly pleased. A bright smile illuminated his face, "I expected you to say that, and I am very pleased… I'll be so delighted to leave them in your care, knowing I started those companies, and that a diligent man purchased them." Mr. Powell responded, rubbing his palms graciously. Sophia's face was neutral, she never thought a thing like this would happen, she knew her dad had always wanted the best for her, but not after she had given up on the Petersons. Although her Dad never knew of her previous closeness with Kelly, Kemdrick's late brother. She never believed it would settle back to him. Immediately, she saw that her eyes were betraying her, she shook off the feeling, afterall they would be nothing but business partners. Mr. Powell turned to her Swifty, "Tell me, what's your thoughts on what I've said so far?" He asked. Sophia's face lightened, her father could see her cheeks glowing in amusement, but her re
It was a message from Barr. Florence. She had verified the documents and the carol of a woman was paid off.Mr. Bob had happily gone on social media to sing the praises, filling his page with encomium.Outside the inn, the atmosphere was bathed in a soft golden light, the sun's rays were hiding its scorching touch in the cloud, preparing the shadows of the evening to take over the sky."I'll see you later man, please try to keep in touch," Kendrick said to Terry, he smiled and muttered a reply."You made my day, man…next time don't be out without guards"A gentle breeze blew across Kemdrick's face and he watched him enter his Audi Rs e-tron, a car valued at about 300,000 dollars, and zoomed off." Where are you heading young master? Ivy asked."Going home from here, what about you?""I would be spending tonight in Baytown, I have a meeting to catch up there tonight" Ivy replied, as she turned to observe the car park."Did you come with your car?" Kendrick asked again, but immediately
