Mr. Peterson was the first to emerge from his room, followed by Kendrick. Kendrick laughed when he saw his Dad dressed in jean trousers with a blue buffalo T-shirt to match his heavy boots, they were expensive, but then it reminded him of several years ago when he was still a boy and his dad would be dropping him off at school. Those were the type of clothes he liked to wear. "Dad, this is awesome… it's been a long time since I saw you dress in this manner" He said laughing. Mr. Peterson understood the irony in his words and replied. "Old is gold, boy." Then he turned to the other part of the hallways and asked. "Did something hold the girls in there?" Kendrick followed him back to check what was keeping them, they stumbled upon Emily painting her lips, while she smiled into the mirror, a thin patronizing smile that seemed to say she was going to take some more time in there. "It would be 7 p.m soon and that might mean we're not going out again, Emily," Kendrick said a
"I heard Mrs. Peace Churchill saying that the woman would be moving in with you soon, since you're the one responsible for her pregnancy." Kendrick's face turned ashen, his eyes widening. He slumped back in his chair, his mouth agape, as if the words had knocked the breath out of him. "What...how...no, that's impossible!" he stammered, then laughed a bit. "Are you laughing about it, young master?" Florence asked." What is it you wanted me to do? … I understand all they're doing. If I should assist her, then it would only be because of the child she's carrying." He said and his father turned to him with a surprise stare."Are you saying that you have accepted being responsible for the child she's carrying?" Florence asked in a curious tone. "Not that Ma,... Can I talk to you later?" He said, hanging up the call. "Who was that and what child were you talking about?" Mr. Peterson asked, his eyes locked onto Kendricks. "That has nothing to do with me Dad… Someone was asking to kn
"Welcome, sir!..It's a pleasure to have you here at the Lake Genesis Resort..l. How may I assist you today?... The receptionist said as she looked at Evelyn who was right in front of Kendrick."Thank you young lady." Evelyn replied in a calm tone. What services do you offer here?" She added. "We offer a range of luxurious amenities and activitiesWould you like to indulge in our 5-star hospitality, relax by the swimming lounge, or perhaps engage in a game at our state-of-the-art basketball court?" "Wow, wow wow." Evelyn replied, turning to her father and brother. "What do you think Ken?" She asked. "Please take a moment to review our menu of options on the screen behind me, and let me know how we can tailor your experience to your preferences." The receptionist added as she lowered her head into the screen, typing some information. Kendrick's eyes fixed on her gently, as he shook his head. He quickly shifted in."Hello young lady." He said in a calm tone, smiling at her. It w
In no time, Reginald was at the scene. Her eyes reddened with anger. "Whoever it is would be locked up for months.. and that's final." She has said to the severities that followed her down the scene. "This is a private business, and any loss procured would fall back to my reputation and business management ability… . I need no bad records." Her teeth gritted as she hurried." Hey make way! The manager is here!" One of the security officers alarmed as the crowd of onlookers shifted slowly.Kendrick could hear one of them say some gibberish words about him. Blossom, still seething in anger, her hands rubbing on her face to reduce the pains from Evelyn's painful slap, turned with a feigned smile to the manger, her eyes soliciting pity. Reginald, has been known to be a woman with 0 tolerance for promiscuity, at 30, she had earned herself a high ranking stand in the business management sector.To make this worse, she has a close affiliation with one of the Rogers family, which would me
Kendrick's eyes observed her for some minutes, his dad was right, she had the company at heart. "I have increased every workers salary here by extra 10%" He said with firmly, when he turned to his father, he noticed the smile on his face. Unable to contain the happiness, Reginald smiled, her lips curved to her ears, then the settled onlookers clapped thunderously. Kendrick turned his eyes and inspected his wristwatch, it was already past 9 in the evening, he knew that they had to leave, so he turned and gestured to Evelyn."Can we go please? … I'll need to be at work tomorrow." But then he noticed Emily's sullen looks.She was observing them silently, her fun night had been disrupted by the conduct of a proud and arrogant lady." She thought within her. Kendrick bent to her slowly "Can we go tonight… I promise to take you around tomorrow." He said with a confident smile. "Pinky promise." Emily replied coldly pointing out her little finger. Kendrick smiled, pink was her favorite
Blossom shook her head gently, and he gave a loud sigh of relief.Peace Churchill stood up, her eyes looking up to the white POP ceiling, the bulbs dangled as she stared at it, as though trying to seize the lights."I have a plan!" She said loudly and everyone turned to her in anticipation. "What's the plan, hit me Peace.. hit it right here and now." Maverick exclaimed as she rushed to a chair and sank into it. "I will ensure Louis pins this pregnancy to him… He is always softhearted and I'm sure he still loves her." Peace said in a low tone.Maverick sighed loudly, and jumped from the chair. " I was thinking you want to talk about combining money to buy and extend grandfather's companies and here you're thinking of doing such a thing." He said as he flung his hands in the air. "Maverick,... Maverick!!... how many times have I told you to stop interrupting decisions in this house?" Mrs. Katherine Rogers asked, her face contorted."How would you do a thing as that mum? Are you not
Kendrick sat in his office early enough the next day. He had woken to a call from Mrs. Alex who had fixed an appointment with him, the day was cold and the weather seemed dull.He sat, his elbow resting on the polished office table as he thought of the replies he received from Inspector Thud concerning Sophia's whereabouts.What jolted his mind back to reality was the crackling heart sound of a woman conversing with his guard from outside the office.He could hear her say that she had an appointment with the Boss, and after showing the card to Xavier, he knocked before opening the door to her. "Come right in." Kendrick had said while raising his head to inspect who that was, Mrs. Alex greeted him with a blank stare in her eyes. "You're welcome, please… come sit down," Kendrick replied. "I had retired reaching you all through yesterday evening after I got a call that a man named Kendrick had signed for that witch to be released." She said, while she shifted the steelcase office ch
Immediately after Mrs. Alex had walked out of the office, Kendrick sent a call across to Sophia, he needed to ensure that she was fine. The call went through and Sophia's light voice came alive, Kendrick could hear the soft reverberation of her voice, he thought of asking her how she was fairing. But then he remembered, there was a more important question he needed to ask, "How did you get in touch with Eric Templar, that he had to leave you with bruises?" The silence that followed that question was palpable, Sophia took minutes to process her reply, then with a cracking voice, she replied coldly."I expected you to start by asking how I'm fairing, Kendrick." The call went on for some minutes and Sophia's reply, like a bomb ready to shatter Kendrick's heart."I couldn't resist him, … I think I really loved him." She said, Kendrick's eyes flickered, he listened carefully to ensure that he wasn't mistaking her words for another."And all he did was treat you the way he is doing r
