Melanie raised a brow at Dominic while he puts Vincent's dirty clothes into a basket he just bought with his money.Melanie smile and then laughed. Hearing her laugh, Dominic gave her side eyes and then fully looked at her, "what is so funny?" he asked her, still feeling pissed from what happened earlier between him and Vincent.Why the hell did Melanie have to be here and hear all that Vincent said about him and his parents living off Mr Devine Victor?Why was she still standing here? Was she waiting for his return to Vincent's office so she could insult him before leaving victorious? If that's the case then there was no way he would let her win."Why, you of course. I can't believe that you broke up with me only to end up working for my ex-boyfriend. Something people don't see every day." Melanie said and laughed even more."Says the bitch who only dated him while he was poor and didn't get a cent after he became rich. You must be very sad right now knowing you won't be able to leec
"Vincent how could you be cheating on me right now?! You told me you were on a job hunt but you seem well of right now don't you?!" the woman screamed, getting the attention of other customers in the restaurant.Two men came to take her away but before they could get any closer to the lady, Vincent signalled them to stop."Idiot. You'll only make things worse by leaving her to talk. Thankfully, that's what I'm counting on." Melanie thought to herself as she peeked from above the menus in her hand."Ma'am, won't you place an order?" a waiter with a small notebook and pen asked Melanie."Just give me a little more time. It's my first time here and I want to have the best first impression." Melanie replied."Oh! Pardon my ignorance. Take your time ma'am." the waiter said and left while Melanie smiled back at him. She turned her focus back to Vincent and Tasha's table."Sorry but who are you?" Vincent asked, confused that maybe she mistook him for someone else."Oh?! Oh, so that is how it
After the date, Vincent dropped Tasha off at her place and kissed her goodbye for the day. He stood and watched her until she got inside her home before turning to leave.Vincent takes two steps back as he found Melanie standing behind him and almost bumped into her when he turns to leave."What are you doing here?" Vincent asked, not expecting that Melanie would still follow him to this point.This was the same girl he was crazy in love with in college but now he hated to even look at her. She now looked so unkept to the point that passersby would think that she didn't have a bath before leaving her home.Melanie was in tears again but this time it was real, "Vincent... What did I do wrong? Why did you just leave me and choose to stay with Tasha? Were you cheating on me back in college? Did you have feelings for Tasha while you were dating me?" she asked in-between tears."I don't have time for this," Vincent said, disregarding whatever thoughts Melanie was having. He tried to get i
Seeing Ferdinand seated on his chair as CEO made Vincent feel confused. Why would Ferdinand be there in all places and going through the company's files?Ferdinand gets up immediately."What were you doing?" Vincent managed to ask."Sorry about that. It's just that I came in and didn't find you here so... I figured I should help out in sorting some of the files out and working on what I can." Ferdinand explained to Vincent.Vincent wasn't buying Ferdinand's excuse and he felt very suspicious of Ferdinand. He want to question Ferdinand further but then an employee of the company walked in with some files."Good day sir." the employee greeted Vincent and then went to hand the files over to Ferdinand."They have been properly inspected for any mistakes and risks just as you instructed sir." the employee said to Ferdinand."Thank you. You may leave. I'll let you know if I need your help again." Ferdinand replied.The employee left the office, leaving just Ferdinand and Vincent in it. Seei
"Son, how long have you been standing there? Were you listening to my conversation?" Mr Devine asked Vincent."No. I just came here now. Though, I wish I came earlier so I could understand why you're behaving so jumpy." Vincent replied."Jumpy? Me? No. This is just stress from work. I can assure you. I just have a lot on my plate to deal with." Mr Devine said."Okay, but why did you just leave the table like that? You're getting my mother worried and worked up." Vincent said.Mr Devine massaged between his eyebrows with his fingers and he shut his eyes feeling frustrated all of a sudden. He was so fed up with his life. These days he just has control over nothing.Mr Devine couldn't tell Vincent anything about what was happening because if he warned Vincent against Ferdinand then it would only arouse suspicion in Vincent and he would want to find out more about what is happening.Vincent was a smart kid. He was sure to figure out something fishy if Mr Devine made a single sentence with
Night time. After working for the entire day and rushing through papers, documents and online issues with his computer, Vincent finally finished his work for the day and is glad he didn't have to postpone anything as Ferdinand had said to him."Ready to go?" Ferdinand asked, barging into Vincent's office."Yes. Just hold on let me save this. It's loading. You can go home and get yourself ready then meet me at my place." Vincent replied."No problem as long as you show up. Better not chicken out. Okay?" Ferdinand said to Vincent."I won't be doing that any time soon," Vincent replied. Ferdinand left Vincent's office and Vincent started arranging some files on his desk while waiting for the docx on his computer to finish loading.Once Vincent was through with everything, the docx loading was completed and saved.Vincent did a proper shutdown of his computer and then left the company. He got in his car and his driver took him home.At home, Vincent had a bath and a change of clothes for
Vincent waited for Kate to shake his hand but she just stared it down. "You're the son of Mr Devine Victor. Right?" Kate asked Vincent."I am," Vincent answered.Kate scanned Vincent from head to toe with her eyes and then back up, "I don't shake the hands of men that are not daring." Kate said to Vincent.Vincent raised an eyebrow at her."Kate!" Ferdinand scolded her for what she said."What? You can't tell me who to respect or not. I am still my person. I can make that choice for myself." Kate retorted at Ferdinand."So sorry about that." Ferdinand apologized to Vincent."Really?" Vincent questioned Kate, ignoring Ferdinand's apology."Yes," Kate answered."What makes a man daring? I am curious to know that." Vincent said to Kate."Let's just say, those are details left for me to know and for you to find out yourself," Kate replied and sat down to order a drink for herself.Ferdinand tried to stop Kate from drinking. He hated it whenever she drinks because she always takes it over
Vincent held on to his head as if having a headache, "ughhh! One question at a time will ya?" Vincent said to Ferdinand. He relaxed his head backward and closed his eyes then opened them again."This damned headache doesn't want to leave me alone." Vincent complained and raised his head again."Vincent!" Ferdinand yelled. Vincent tried to look at him but was seeing double."Ferdinand. You never told me you had a twin brother." Vincent said."Twin?" Ferdinand questioned. He reasoned that Vincent was seeing things because he was drunk and so he brushed off Vincent's statement and tried to get answers from him."Just tell me how close you and Mr Devine are." Ferdinand insisted."I'm not that close to my dad. We are hardly having time to bond. These days he seems lost in his world of business and I also have my job as CEO to focus on. I'm not just in it for revenge." Vincent said to Ferdinand."Revenge?" Ferdinand questioned. He was taken aback by Vincent's response to his question."Yes
