The next day met Kendrick at the crowd wall sitout, a silent and calm eatery located in the shores of Dallas. Dr. Astrid and Charles Methot sat directly opposite him, a bottle of red fruit wine, rested on the table, Methot taking sips from his champagne flute. "You mean that I should apply for Sparrow's medical treatment, Kendrick?" Astrid asked in a calm voice. "Ofcourse, that's what I meant, doctor .. I believe so much in your abilities and would want you to utilize this medium." Kendrick replied, gesturing to her. The walls of the inn seemed to be closing in on Astrid as she sat, her mind reeling with unanswered questions. She had always wanted to avoid everything that has to do with J. Ryder and his cohorts ever since he demoted her. "No.. no, no!!. That's not going to be possible, Kendrick." She protested. Shaking her head in disagreement. "What? … why that, Doctor?" Kendrick asked with a bewildered stare in his eyes. She arched her eyebrows, her eyes flashing with a hint
Kendrick turned with a dismissive wave, "You'll have to give it a try doctor… a try could convince you to strike." He said as he shook hands with Charles before turning to walk out of the eatery. Xavier and the other guards led the way and he followed behind, they marched as guardian angels leading the fastest rising heir. Just as he entered the car, a message dropped on his phone, he opened and inspected the screen. It was a message from Emily. "A woman named Louis is here, making a complaint about you young master." Kendrick's eyes widened, "drive me back to the house immediately!" He ordered Brown and he nodded gently.Louis had arrived at the Peterson's mansion, only to be resisted fiercely by the guards at the gate, but when she stepped out of the car, yelling and gesturing. Mr. Peterson who was sitting at the balcony had called and asked that she was allowed to drive in. When she drove in, she walked straight to the balcony and greeted Mr. Peterson with a feigned smile on
Kendrick went straight into the house, his face twisted with annoyance, it was time he showed them what he was truly made of, he knew he had to ensure that everyone who crossed his line paid through their nostrils. He had only accepted to stay with his father this long because of his health, but now his mind thought of expanding, of purchasing top end mansions in the coolest parts of the city. His feet slammed as he moved up the stairs, heading to his room. Just as he entered, he sat by the edge of his bed, and brought out his phone, then typed a message to Whales Ferdinand. "I would want you to speak with the governor of Texas, tell him that the situation about Mr. Sparrow is not as critical as the commissioner of Health puts it. .. I will be leading a team of medical experts to handle that tomorrow." His fingers swiped through the phone's screen and the message went through.He sat, anticipation lingered on his face as he awaited a response from him, his mind reeled with thought
Evelyn nodded firmly before turning to leave the room. She had succeeded in making her father understand a point, and so she smiled her way through the lobby as she sent a maid to get Kendrick.When the maid knocked at the door, Kendrick was on a call, she lingered at the door until he asked her to come in.The door squeaked open and she walked in, her hands gesturing slowly."I'm sorry sir...your father sends for you" she said lowering her head.Kendrick did not reply, he only waved his hands with a nod that made her know that he would be with him shortly.He had fixed a meeting with a governor and would be ensuring that Astrid regains her respect and office after that, but then a thought ran in his mind."If she was the chief medical officer at the hospital where his mother was admitted...why then did she not help and stop her from dying?"His mind reeled as he stood up to leave the room, he knew there were several things he needed to find out and he was sure ready for the showdown
"Stop it!!"... Don't do that, Rom… " Maverick yelled as he rushed to hold him, but Romsey ignored him, his anger geared towards Kendrick.Now Kendrick was even more ready, with a swift and precise motion, he unleashed a powered slap that sent Romsey tumbling backwards, his body crashing to the wall. Romsey's eyes widened as his hands flew to his burning cheeks, his eyes reddened as he stumbled out of the room defeated. The air in the room crackled with tension as Maverick's jaw dropped in an awestruck expression, he had never seen Kendrick lay his hands on anyone, so it seemed like he was dreaming.Provoked, Kendrick warned, "When next any of you tried that trash again, … I'll ensure that I teach each and everyone of you a lesson you'll never forget!' His words laced with a blend of authority and confidence."Did you do that in front of me?" Katherine Rogers exclaimed bitterly as she staggered from her seat. "No… don't Ma… Romsey was the first to try assaulting him." Maverick ple
After dropping off the items he held at hand, Kendrick turned out to meet Mrs. Alex at the central cafe. On arrival, she had already ordered drinks for the both of them."Please sit" she said, gesturing to Kendrick."Alright, thanks" Kendrick replied with a smile on his face.Mrs Alex poured out her drink, but when she asked Kendrick to do the same, he simply shook his head in disapproval."I don't take alcoholic drinks"Mrs Alex grimaced, it was her first time of seeing a man reject alcoholic drink, her husband and his hand if miscreants had always considered it a lifestyle."So...tell me, you meant that you are divorcing him?" Kendrick asked.She raised her head with a sharp stare and quickly nodded. "I can't waste my life with a man I had helped but all he did was cheat on me with another woman".Kendrick looked at her as she spoke, her eyes seemed to cloud with regrets, she kept pouring the drink and gulping every bit of it in a haste.Kendrick cleared his throat, "I would want yo
“Come right to me dear… Take away the feelings''. Alex mumbled as she jumped to the bed, her hands tightly gripped on his shirt. “Take it easy, Ma”. Kendrick exclaimed, slightly taking her hands off his shirt. Alex was drunk, she couldn't tell her left from the right, she raised her hands in the air, waving as though seeking solace. Kendrick pushed her gently to the bed, his mind reeled as he gazed at her voluptuous body, he picked up a blanket and covered her gently. “Get to sleep Ma… you’ll be good when you're awake”. He said walking towards the couch. The air in the room was cold so he wrapped himself in the warmth of the blanket. Some moment later, his phone's ringtone blared in the room, shattering the silence that enveloped them. Kendrick walked down to the table and inspected it, the call was from Evelyn. “Hello Ken, why aren't you back?” She asked. Her voice, laced with urgency and concern. We’ve been worried, you’ve never stayed out this late." Kendrick list
When Kendrick arrived home, everyone turned to him, he had truly changed overnight, it was the first time he stayed out, the first time he didn't respond to the greetings with a smile on his face.He dropped from the car and walked into the house, Emily was the first to run to him.“You're welcome young master, Kendrick… I didn't have breakfast with them… I was waiting for you to return”.Kendrick turned to her, she was smiling, anticipation lingered on her face, Kendrick's face was blank, he wasn't looking angry, and he wasn't smiling either.“Why would you have to do that?” He exclaimed in a calm tone.“I missed you, young brother”, She replied, rolling her eyes.“I did the same, dear… I’ll get back to you, okay?”He said moving up the stairs. When he entered his room, his eyes scanned as though searching for a lost item, he recalled the last words Alex muttered to him before leaving his hotel room.He walked into the wardrobe room, and emerged in a costly brown blazer, neatly fitte
