"You dare slap me?" The man threw at her, his expression suddenly going soar but Rose was too angry to even notice it. "And does it look like I give a fuck? Nonsense!" She said and hurried away. The man watched her for a moment before he walked inside the restaurant. The girls and boys walked back to their seats. "Did anyone see what just happened there?" Kevin quipped, in fear. "It looked like Rose didn't recognize Mr Louis' son or maybe she was too angry to even notice him," David explained. "And whose fault was that?" Ava snapped, annoyingly. "If it wasn't for Brad's fault, Rose wouldn't have been so angry." "Hey, wait," Ben said quickly. "Let's not argue over this. I'm sure Mr Louis' son doesn't even know who Rose is. I'm sure she's on the safe side. Let's be optimistic and collected," he begged. "Yes, that's right," Nicky supported Ben. "So, are we ready to make our orders now? I will call over the waiter," Ben said, a bit jokily, trying to lift the mood. "Well, that doe
"Mr Maxwell, I_," the manager started but Maxwell had already hung up.He placed a call next to Baron. Baron is the president of BAS, an online company where Drake works.Baron picked it up but it took a few seconds before a voice came online. "Hello Mr Maxwell, who do I own this honour?""Does Drake work for you?" Maxwell went straight to the point. He had no time for pleasantries.He and Baron weren't friends anyway. "Yes!" Baron affirmed. "Do you want him to do anything for you?"Drake was a star. So, Maxwell might need his help in publishing a piece of news. Because Baron couldn't think of a reason why Maxwell would ask of him."Drake made a grave mistake," Maxwell ignored his question and said instead. "He published false stories concerning Brad Harier, a student of Stanford and he needs to be punished for it.""I_," Baron was short of words. "What do you want?" he said eventually. "I want the story to be brought down and I want him to be fired," he revealed."What! Fired?" Bar
Baron hissed and dropped the phone.Beads of perspiration have started to trickle down his face.He couldn't imagine the danger that Drake had nearly dragged him into. How could he cross the members of P-Bold?He dialed Maxwell's number."Hello, I've just fired the journalist that released the fake story, and in fact, the story has been brought down from the internet," he explained."Good but I will be expecting the apology post before the end of today," he muttered and hung up.Baron released an exasperated sigh. He just didn't know why Drake would destroy everything he had been keeping all this while.Who doesn't even know how powerful Maxwell was in Italy? He could do and undo.He had better finish up with the apology post before Maxwell gets angry.A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly."Yes, come in," Baron muttered.Drake walked inside with straight facial expressions. He still couldn't believe what Baron had said on the phone or what had caused it.So, he called off the fu
Brad arrived home in few minutes later. Actually, he lied about the assignment. He had already finished them but had to use that as an excuse to leave the restaurant.He didn't blame the girls anyway. They were only trying to protect themselves. Being branded as a friend of the thief is not something good.His phone rang suddenly. It was Maxwell. He picked it up."Hello, Maxwell.""Yes boss, I've settled everything," he informed him. "In fact, the president of BAS will drop an apology post for you to clear the public. And I've also ordered any contradicting posts to be brought down from StreamRoll," he explained.Brad released a relieved sigh. "Good, thank you.""I promise to be vigilant next time boss," he promised."Alright, Maxwell. I will be counting on that," he hung up.On second thought, Brad decided to leave the house. It was boring anyway without his friends at home and he had nothing he wanted to do.He soon got out of the house and flagged down a taxi. "Any nearest Boutiqu
Nevertheless, she proceeded. It wouldn't kill her anyway to trust him that one time. Besides, she was desperate. She was new and she had a certain amount she had to earn to be qualified to be a permanent salesperson.The machine beeped slightly and the receipt came out.251,000 dollars has been deducted from the debit card and it didn't say insufficient funds.The older Salesperson was shocked. The eyes narrowed with disbelief. The richly dressed man she got, brought $33,000 worth of clothes. This means her commission was just $3,300 but the new salesperson who just resumed work that day got $25,100 as commission.Besides, she was the one who got Brad first but she allowed him to slip off her finger because she judged the way he was dressed.The young salesperson beamed with joy. "Thank you so much, sir. I really appreciate it."Brad reciprocated her smile. "Just continue the good way because you will always be rewarded," he finished, took the bag from the salesperson, with his card,
Rose’s head flew off at the statement. “What insolence!” she snapped. “What do you take us for? How dare you table that kind of thing to us? Who do you think we are?”Sean huffed. “Really? Who are you? I want to know how you want to go against me tonight,” he said with a silly smile on his face.Sophia looked at Rose with fear written all over her. “What do we do, Rose?”“I merely want to have you for a night but I’ve changed my mind,” he chuckled. “So, I’m having you for two nights now. But don’t worry, I will give you the chance to call your knight in shining armour, and let’s see if there’s anyone that can save you from my trap.”At this point, Brad couldn’t take the insult any longer. He stood up. “That’s not acceptable,” he said suddenly. You can’t just go around and force girls to your bed. It's insulting enough that you would even see them as such.”Sean looked at Brad for a moment and burst out laughing, “Seriously? Is this your saviour?” he asked with disgusted features.Rose
James swallowed harder and quickly thought of what to do. He didn't want to lose face in front of Rose. If he could successfully resolve the issue, Rose would be indebted to him.He turned to look at Rose. "I will speak with him and resolve everything," he assured.Rose nodded once, with a smile on her face as James proceeded towards Sean."I didn't know there was someone that could easily go against Mr Louis. James is an influential man," She applauded.James stopped before Sean, with fear written all over him. "Mr Sean," He greeted, with a forced smile. "I was on my way to speak with you."Sean raised skeptical brows. "What's wrong."James swallowed harder, as he looked right behind Sean, at the men that were taller and more built than he was."I want to use this opportunity to plead with you for the sake of the two ladies standing far away. Please, whatever they have done to offend you. Please forgive them," he expressed.Sean huffed. "Get him out of my sight," He ordered.One of t
Sophia turned to Brad quickly. "Step back, Brad. Don't complicate the matter the more," She warned.Brad ignored her plea and moved to her front, preventing the men from proceeding with their plan.They tried to get him to push him out of the way but it was to no avail. It looked like a stone was standing in their way."It's Maxwell!" A voice gasped.Every gaze turned towards the entrance, as Maxwell walked inside with few of his men.At the sight of him, James released a sigh. His father was an underlying of Maxwell. So, he was certain that he would surely help out.He turned to Rose. "Don't worry, Rose. I've got this. I promise to handle this," He promised and moved closer to Maxwell.Sean was shocked at his audacity but when his gaze followed him, his heart nearly stopped. How did the fool know about Maxwell?Even though his father was tough and quite popular for getting whatever he wanted, he couldn't fail to acknowledge how powerful Maxwell was.With Maxwell, his father was nothi
