Travis scoffed and looked away at the thought of getting fired.His lips curled up as he remembered Malcolm's threat but it didn't matter to him because he was gonna resign anyway. As he arrived at the security supervisor's – John Lee's office, before he could hand over his resignation letter, the man already took the lead by saying, "You've been absent every two or three days. Taking leaves like this company is your oyster. It has severely disrupted the schedule of the security department and we've decided that we've had enough of your incompetence. The General Manager knows about this and you're being fired."Travis sighed and he requested calmly. "Okay. So give me my remaining salary then."Supervisor Lee frowned at him. Is he stupid or what? "I just said you're being fired, so why would you still have a salary? Even your deposit is forfeited!" He wore a faint jeering smile as he made that statement.It wasn't his fault that an ordinary guard like him went and got on the bad side
"Oh, Travis! I heard you went to talk to the manager. Did he adhere to your plea?" Malcolm sardonically mocked, loving the fun he was about to make Dylan into.Malcolm and his other friends laughed. The guys behind him were his puppets who do everything Malcolm tells them to do. They are part of his department.But knowing what he already planned for them, Travis wasn't affected by his words so he said, "Just go on with the show. I know you've arranged one. I wanna see how it goes."Since Malcolm was showing himself then let him go all out now that he has the advantage.But he'd see how he would fare when his precious workplace is declared bankrupt.Hearing Travis's sarcasm, the smile on Malcolm's face dropped. He hated it when Travis put on airs with him when being cornered. He hated the fact that even though he was above Malcolm, he somehow ends up feeling beneath him."You keep doing this, Travis. Putting on airs with me even when it's so clear that I'm above you.""Yeah, Travis. D
After a long talk with the general manager, Travis decided against bankrupting the company and he proposed to acquire the company.But in the end, after acceding to the general manager's pleading, he decided to not brush him aside completely and instead bought seventy percent of the shares which made him the principal shareholder of the company.Travis returned to the hospital only to find Joanna's angry gaze on him. "It takes time to resign from a job, right?"She had to agree with Travis about resigning cause she knew that they couldn't keep up with taking leaves from work. It was affecting the flow of their work thereby reducing her monthly payment.After all, his salary is just nothing. A stagnant sum that will not be of any use to them.Travis sighed and plainly replied, "Just had to handle important matters.""Important matters? What could be more important than our daughter? Huh, tell me!"Travis shook his head. "No. We shouldn't do this now, Joanna. Maya is sleeping and I'm ba
Aiden kept his shocked gaze on Travis for a long time. It's been like six to seven years they last kept in touch and that's because Travis decided he no longer wants any connection to his past.But getting his call, it was like heaven has finally fell on earth. He considered it the most impossible thing.Travis poured half a glass of whiskey on his glass cup and sipped a little of it before breaking down the silence between them, "I know you must be wondering while I called for this meeting.""Duh. That's the only thing on my mind right now, mate." Aiden confessed.Travis nodded and some further, "I need your help with something."Aiden furrowed his brows in confusion, this time wondering what could have happened that would made Travis seek for his help. The guy has so much pride that he will rather die with it. Out of curiosity, he inquired by saying, "And what could that be?""Bloom construction."Aiden darted his eyes left and right, having an idea of what Travis said. "Bloom const
Travis arrived at the VIP wing on the nineteen floor and walked toward the door which had the number two on it. As he opened it, he saw his wife attending to his sleeping daughter.Even his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were in the room.Everyone's gaze fell on him and it was obvious they had something to say to him. He entered inside and closed the door before shoving his hand in his pocket.His eyes fell on his daughter and he asked, "Has she been sleeping?"Joanna shook her head while looking at him with a burning gaze. "She was awake for some time. Asked for you countless times but her well-loved father whom she looked up to was nowhere around her."Travis sighed and defended himself by saying, "I made sure she was comfortable before I left. Besides, I went to meet a friend for you."Joanna scoffed and walked up to him. She sniffed and a bitter chuckle escaped her. "So you drank with that friend when your daughter is here sick?!""You wouldn't understand…"Joanna interrupted him
"What the hell are you talking about?" Joanna questioned with a frown on her face. "I do not want you to ruin this moment with one of your lies."Travis chuckled bitterly and looked at her. "Why? You think you're so special? Who the hell are you that would make Robert Pattinson want to speak with you?"Joanna blinked, realizing that was definitely right."The friend I went to have a drink with was Aiden Pattinson. He was my mate and best friend in high school. We even went to the same college. I cut ties with him a long time ago but for you, I mended it." Travis informed.Joanna, her mom, and sis spared a glance at each other.And Ashley said, "I just feel like you're speaking a language that I don't understand.""That's because you're dumb." Travis dismissed her and looked at Joanna. "He owed me a favor in the past so when I talked to him about the issues with Bloom construction, he said he was gonna talk to his father for me. I made sure to tell him that the only person they will be
Joanna and Travis finally arrived at Oak villa.Joanna tried very hard to suppress her curiosity as she followed Travis and entered the villa. At first glance, the villa was a few times superior to what her family owned with a bigger area and more luxurious furnishing. There was even an indoor swimming pool. Wow!She was astonished by everything. More amazed by the fact that Travis, her husband, had such a connection. Then she saw a man, a woman, and a younger man standing there with smiles on their faces like they were giving them some kind of ovation.As they got to them, Mr. Pattinson walked toward Travis with a broad smile. "Wow, is this you, Travis?! Look at you all grown up!"Travis just gave him a smile."I heard the news about …""We should talk privately on that matter." Travis interrupted him since he knew what he was about to say.Mr. Pattinson nodded with a smile. "Of course. Let's take a seat outdoors here and let's discuss business.""Do any of you want anything? Beer?"
Alison and Sharon desperately winked their eyes but they definitely did not see wrongly. They were indeed Joanna and Travis.Joanna was shocked as well as she didn't expect Alison's arrival, especially that betrayal of a personal assistant called Sharon.Then Mr. Pattinson said, "Alison, is it? We are having an important discussion. You only have five minutes so tell me what you came here for?"Alison regained her composure after a while.Perhaps she has limited capability, hence, she got nervous after encountering such an unexpected situation.While stuttering she said, "Pa..Mr. Pattinson, sir. Yes, I'm the general manager of the Bloom construction subsidiary in City…""Straight to the point, please." Mr. Pattinson interrupted.After gulping hard, Alison said, "I'd like to invite you, sir, to renew the contract with Bloom Constructions. I'll try my best to fulfill any terms and conditions as per your request."Sharon knew it was gonna become difficult after Alison's statement."Ha ha
