"Huh?" Barney raised one of his brows. "No, I was just saying, not like I have any idea who it is. But Master, I think you should be very careful henceforth," he added."Of course, and it will be starting today. Rockson, arrange for six of the guards to follow me!" Alex said. "Yes boss!" Rockson responded and left to carry out his orders.Alex left for the penthouse and changed into a casual fit to go and see Harley. He also took a car that was not too catchy but still pricey to avoid drawing too much attention. The enemy might be watching his move, right?Harley had texted him that the place there were to meet was Upwest restaurant.After he arrived at the restaurant, he surveyed the interior of the building. While the layout and design were similar to that of Hypernova Restaurant, the one owned by Edmundo, Upwest lacked Hypernova's style and space.He told the guards with him to wait outside till he was through then entered inside, and checked everywhere to see where Harley was. Af
Vivian looked up at Alex with burning fury in her eyes. Her hands itched to give him a slap that instant, but she controlled herself. What the hell did he think he was???She looked around, and luckily for her, only a few people recorded. But hold on, can't these Texas people do without recording embarrassing scenes????Lord, she hated embarrassment! Even though her legs were hurting badly, she stood up and expected Alex to give her an apology. After all, Alex was a guy who never liked to hurt a woman. But Alex stood there, not even giving her a look. To him, he was only protecting Harley from her dubious step sister. She then shifted her gaze to Harley, who was overwhelmed with everything happening. When she noticed how Alex had made her embrace him, she withdrew herself quickly. "Wow, it all makes sense to me now. You bunch of idiots, especially you, Alex. You dare to push me, huh? Just to save your sugar mommy, right?" Vivian bellowed with deep rage burning within her, while Al
Vivian taunted Alex. She knew from the start tht Alex was only joking; how could he pay for it? Of course, he was a poor rat, no change even after six months! She decided to strike a good pose. She folded across her arms across her chest, giving him a disgusted look.On another hand, Alex was dumbfounded. He was sure he always took his black card with him while going out! Watching all these, the waitress at the counter scoffed. "Do you think this place is a joke? It seems you don't know where the fuck you are, or do you want me to call the security guards to give you a beating? Do you think we offer free meals here?" She looked at him in disgust, ready to cause trouble, while Vivian still found it amusing.To add more fuel to the fire, Vivian cleared her throat. "I will never regret leaving you, Alex!" She said sarcastically.The waitress heard it and was shocked. But still not to shocked. Of course, how would someone as shameless at he man in front of her care for the beautiful la
Alex violently pushed Amos to the floor, and he fell on him, getting dust all over his shirt.But he quickly stood up without dusting the dirt off, and looked at where the bullet was shot from, and saw it was from the top of the building opposite them. But the person was already escaping, and he knew even if wanted to go after him, it was useless."Amos, are you alright?" He asked with genuine concern, turning to Amos. He was still on the floor, his eyes wide open in shock at what just happened.Alex helped him stand up and checked if the gun had hit any part of his body. But thankfully, no one had been injured.The bullet had missed its target, instead hitting and bursting one of the tires on Amos's car."I'm fine, son. Are you alright?" Amos asked, touching Alex's face with a hand as they embraced, both feeling a sense of relief. Amos then stood up, finding it strange. "Alex, where did the red light come from?" Amos inquired and Alex pointed towards the tall building opposite them.
When she saw Alex tightening his fists, she mistook it for fear. She confirmed that truly, she was just some street boy or temporarily mad man who came there after fighting.She placed her hands on her forehead and sighed, leaving the place to call the guards.Alex was about to take out his phone to call Amos when he sighted him coming back with the manager and director of the museum.Judas Yates gazed at Felix from head to toe. He shook his head, "young man, you should be sure before jumping head-first into something. How would you be able to purchase this kind of artwork? Though you look a bit familiar, but who knows, maybe you were once my bodyguard! With all due respect, you should just leave. Let the real competitors decide!"Alex was taken aback by his rude manner ofspeech. He was really dressed and reflected the aura of a noble and well-mannered person, but beneath those, lied an arrogant personality.Alex was about to speak when he heard Amos' voice. What came out of his mouth
They walked together with smiles of joy, chatting lightheartedly.Alex laughed at the sight of them. He knew that if Daniel wasn't as rich as he was, Vivian would have left him already.From the expression on her face, he also realized what was coming for him if she were to notice his presence. But he wasn't ready to deal with her drama again.Just as he turned around to leave, he saw her also pausing and heading back inside the company as if something came up.Sigh, at least he could now give the bag to Daniel in peace!As he approached Daniel, Daniel sighted him and rolled his eyes dramatically. "I can't remember doing anything to get on your nerves lately. So, what offence have I committed to warrant your presence?" Daniel asked in a mocking tone.Alex brushed off Daniel's words. After all, what could he do to change someone who refuses to grow up and act mature? "Give this to Amos. He left it in my car while leaving." Alex said and handed the bag over to him.Daniel felt annoyed
Harley kept staring at Vivian to keep quiet, while Argent was nudging Vivian to speak up.Vivian ignored Harley and cleared her throat. "Dad, can you believe Harley had no shame nowadays? Do you remember that guy I brought home seven months ago for marriage?"Argent frowned, throwing a glance at Harley before focusing on Vivian. "Yes, I do. The one I gave a task to provide ten thousand but took the whole month to provide it. What about him?""Dad, can you believe that Harley is dating that guy? For Christ's sake, he's my broke ex!" Vivian sneered, glancing at Harley like she was an ant.Harley's heart pounded as Vivian spoke. She knew she was innocent, yet with her sister's lies and dad's favor, Vivian was always right.Then she recalled what was said. Alex was asked to pay ten thousand dollars in a month? But with the way he looked, he seemed able to pay a hundred grand in one go! Or maybe he had glowed up after that?Her father's furious voice cut through the air. "You mean that goo
I'm sure you're a new staff here," Alex shrugged, leaning forward against the secretary counter. "I'm here to meet Edmundo."The secretary's eyes widened, shocked to hear him call the CEO by his name. She scanned him, and he didn't even look like a big deal. The guts!Giving him a side-eye, she said, "Okay, sir, but first, do you have an appointment scheduled with the CEO?" Alex wanted to ask, "huh" but remembered she was a new worker after all. She probably didn't know that aside Edmundo, he called the shots. His brain was racking for a definite answer to give. After a while, the girl noticed Alex's face and her gaze became skeptical. She reclined on the counter, her chin raised, watching Alex's facial movement. "What? What's wrong? Given your expression, I can tell you don't have an appointment. Do you think this place is just a walk-in store?"Alex, attempting to lower the tension, said, "no, actually, it's important that I meet Edmundo today, I hope you understand...""Can you s
