The lady opens her eyes wide, she stands up immediately. She is looking at Quinton she has seen the biggest celebrity in the country. "Oh my god, Quinton Goldwater?" She gasps. "That's me," Quinton affirms with pride. The lady immediately goes for a handshake, holding one hand with both of hers. "I have only seen you in the magazine and the internet, I am such a huge fan of your family." Quinton laughs with happiness, he likes it when people recognize him. "I mean, who wouldn't?" He asks. "Goldwater is like the biggest name in the country how." Angus wants to snort out very loudly that it's going to embarrass both Quinton and Ashley. Quinton is claiming that his family has the biggest name, but that's just because Angus' grandfather is choosing the keep a very low profile. "And who is this lady beside you?" "Hi, I'm Ashley, his wife." Ashley introduces herself. "We literally got married a few months ago." "Oh, congratulations!" Ashley only smiles. Her glare returns the ins
"Excuse me?" Matilda is thrown into shock by the audacity of this man. He dares to call her to ask her to fire Angus. After he and Angus' ex-wife, Ashley, humiliated him?"Do you even know who you are speaking to?" She asks. "This is Matilda Moore, I know that you are his boss, and I want you to fire him." "And why would I do that?" She fires at him. "Because I said so!" He shouts. "Listen to me, lady, I am not someone you want to mess with." She scoffs and throws her face. "I am not going to fire Angus and besides, he no longer works for me, he is my business partner." She says. "So, yeah, that's not going to happen and there is nothing that you can do about it."She has the raspy breathing at the other side, she knows that she has punctured this man's ego. "Listen to me, Miss Moore." He exhales. "If you like your little company, you better do as I ask, or something terrible is going to happen." "Come on, have a heart!" She blasts him. "Angus has lost everything, he doesn't
The landlord gives out a snort and it's followed by a laugh. "You want to buy the estate?" He hiss. "Your mother is late on rent and you think that I am supposed to believe that you suddenly want to buy the whole estate?!" "You are speaking as if it's a wrong thing." Angus shrugs. "This is a shitty place, I am trying to help you by getting it out of your hand." The landlord takes out the cigarette from his mouth and points aggressively at Angus. "You have always been such a rude boy, huh?" He says. "Your mother isn't here to ask you to keep shut and go back into the house, huh?" Angus only frowns. The landlord mutters something under his breath. He dips his hand into his pocket and goes through the many things in them. He finally gets to what he is looking for, a business card that has gone brown with dirt. "Here." He hands it to Angus. "Since you think that you can purchase the place, the real owners are looking to sell it." Angus takes the card and reads through it. "Th
It's surprising how such a low-key ceremony is being prepared for less than fifty people. Angus is at the headquarters today, he is nicely dressed and his hair is neat. He is waiting in the reception, waiting like hundreds of people. He can see some decorators passing into an inner hall with flowers and many other things for the ceremony. He keeps his eyes on them, calmly waiting with the others. Soon, Lorenzo walks in. His steps are swift, his feet barely touching the ground before he lifts them again. He works with two people behind him, guards. He doesn't even give those waiting a look as he passes on. The receptionist jumps to her feet to greet him too, but he doesn't answer her. But just before he moves on, he sees Angus waiting with the rest. He ends the call immediately. He wants to address Angus, but he then remembers that many people are around. He clears his throat and turns to the receptionist, She stands with her hands respectfully clasped behind her. "Are all t
Matilda called Angus to meet her at the house, to hand her back the documents that Lorenzo signed. He shows up at the house around ten o'clock in the night, that same day. He is dressed in a black suit with a black tie, his shoes are shining and his golden wristwatch makes him look very nice. He rings the bell and waits for her to open the door. She does, in her nightie, and she looks very surprised to see him dressed in a suit at this time of the night. "Oh my God, Angus." She holds her hand over her mouth as she laughs. He gives her a mock bow and this makes her laugh even more. "Where are you heading to dress like that by this time?" "A party." He answers.He hands her the document and she takes it, seeing the signature on it. "I didn't expect you to get it so early." She glances at him. "Mister Lorenzo is a very busy man, How were you able to get him?" "I ambushed him." Angus shrugs. "Ahhh." She nods with an interesting smile. "Well, good job. We will get to work immedi
The place is very quiet and Angus is almost sure that if he breathes too loudly, everyone is going to turn around and look at him. There are at least fifty seats and a few people are talking to each other in very low-pitched tunes. They shake hands around before settling in their seats. Angus sees Greg talking to an elderly man in the front, he looks away and finds a seat for himself in a corner, in the last row. Just as everyone settles down, an elderly man mounts the stage. Someone goes around and shares pamphlets around. When Angus looks at it, he feels his heart stop and begin to tighten. Daniel and Katrine, that's the name of his parents. They look happy in the picture that serves as the cover of the pamphlet. They are holding each other and from the look of it, they were very much in love with each other before they died. Angus feels a warmth on his inside, as he stares at the picture of his parents, he feels like he has known them his whole life. He pulls at his tie
After Lorenzo sees that he has succeeded in calming Angus down, he leaves the room after assuring him that he will be back in a short time. He walks out of the room, shutting the door behind him. He runs his hands through his hair. How is he going to explain to Mister Solomon that Angus saw what he has been trying to hide from him?He exhales loudly as he arranges his jacket, walking back to join the others for the ceremony. He meets the two men at the door, they seem to be whispering to each other, but they stop as soon as he gets to them. They salute him but avoid any form of eye contact with him. He knows that they have been talking about Angus and what happened. He better curb the problem immediately. "Gentlemen, thank you for handling the situation swiftly." He nods at them. "Do you need us to call the police, sir? He looked very dangerous." "No, no need for that." He waves off. "I have handled the situation and there is no need for that anymore." They look at each othe
Angus smirks as he looks at him. "No, man, you are not going to do that." He refuses. "You are going to tell me the names of the motherfuckers that killed my parents." "Sir, I have no idea who they are. Your grandfather never told anyone who they are." "That's some bullshit." Angus fumes. "You have got to know something!" "All I know, I have told you." Lorenzo insists. "I can't lie to you, sir." Angus wants to push some more, but he can see that there is nothing else to push for. Angus stares at Lorenzo and he discovers that if he never found out about his grandfather and how rich his real family is, he would have never imagined someone like Lorenzo would be at his beck and call. Angus rubs his forehead and leaves Lorenzo in the room without another word. The building is very protected around the clock and that means Angus sees security men and women all around the building even though it's almost two at night. He meets the security guard who took his car key, and the man loo
