The calm atmosphere in Mr Lance's office gradually turned gloomy, this was due to the information which had just been delivered by the administrative assistant. They had all had it in mind that they had at least a month before the bug started affecting the lance system, hearing the news had almost diminished their hopes of saving the company. Damion and Mr Lance watched as the lady walked out of the office. Silence trailed after, it was devastating news and it had hit the two men harder than they had expected. After a long while of silence, Damion decided to break the silence, if they wanted to stand a chance of saving the Lance towers, they had to start now. “What do we do?” Damion inquired, his voice echoing in the four corners of the quiet office. Mr Lance shook his head, his fingers running through his hair as he stared at his grandson, his mouth opened but no words came out, he didn't know what to say or do at this poi
The weather was calm, although the clouds seemed to have gathered as it seemed it was going to rain. It was a few minutes past 5 pm, and fleets of cars and vehicles sped down the highway, at some point these vehicles would come to a halt, these were caused by the heavy traffic on the road. Damion had stepped out of his house, he had a meeting with Scott today, and he had told Bella that the time for their meeting should be by 6 pm, Damion hoped that Scott would be kind enough to show up. Right now Damion was caught up in the traffic, he had taken one of the cars in his compound, a fancy one, the same vehicle he drives to work whenever he is not taking a cab. He had been in the traffic for the past 30 minutes which was a little bit strange. Gold City hardly has loads of traffic, something like this would only happen when there is an accident or robbery. The former was likely to be the case as no one would dare carry out a robbery operation at this time of the day, not when they kn
Before becoming a dad, Scott was the type of man who didn't fancy having kids, he had always loved the bad boy lifestyle, having multiple chicks flood his inbox and even his bed. In high school, Scott was one of those kids who loved being the center of attraction, his good looks, tall slender structure, and killer smile attracted the ladies. He also got a few advances from older women. This lifestyle ended when Scott came of age, his dad Gerard Leonard, the leader of the Anslem group, explained to him the responsibility he had on his shoulders which included his inheritance, the Anslem group. This didn't sit well with Scott, he had always wanted to chase his dreams, pursuing his career in the movie industry, he had the charms that made every producer seek him in their movies. While Scott had high hopes for his dreams and ambitions, his father had a different plan. A wedding was held where Scott was forced to get married to a lady he
Hearing those words from Scott brought a certain calmness to Damion's heart, it was a good thing knowing that Scott had this kind of love for Bella.At this point Damion could see that Scott was indeed a good man, he was only judged due to the bad name his dad had created for the Anslem group. “Thank you so much for saving my daughter” Scott broke the silence, his gaze was soft and at that point, Damion could see how indebted this man was. “I did what needed to be done, I couldn't sit back and watch a child die for no reason” Damion smiled. “you are kind,” Scott commented. A thought crossed Damion's mind, as he wondered why someone would shoot a little girl like Tatiana in the first place, but remembering the family she was born into, Damion knew there would be enemies here and there so he decided to twist his words instead. “I want you to take good care of Bella, it seems you have a lot of enemies, I won't be this
Mr Gerard couldn't believe his eyes, his son had grown so big that he even had the balls to hold his hand. As he watched Scott storm out of the door, although he was a little his son had become a man, another part of him was mad that his son was threading down the part that was parallel to his.Mr Gerard turned to the maid who was standing by the door all this while l, witnessing all that had happened between the father and son duo. “What are you looking at?” Mr Gerard thundered, which jolted the maid as she attempted to flee but was stopped by Gerard.“Hold on, get me a bottle of wine” Gerard announced and the nurse responded with a bow and dashed out of the living room only to return with a bottle of wine and a glass cup in hand.Mr Gerard was already seated on the couch, a bottle of wine would be perfect to take his mind off everything that has been happening. The bottle of wine was placed on the table together with the glass cup. The maid knew what she needed to do, so she unco
Damion's time at work was stressful but also entertaining, as one of the staff was having a birthday party. Of course, the party was scheduled for the night, but Damion wouldn't be able to attend. This was due to his trip with Scott, he would be going to the underground city together with Scott to find the expert who was responsible for planting the bug in the lance system. A mini party was thrown at the hospital, where multiple gifts were shared amongst the staff and the patients. It was a fun-filled day and right now Damion was in his office, clearing his desk. It was already time to leave for the day. After clearing his desk, Damion gathered some of the files and locked them up in his drawer. After that, he strolled to the door and took a last look at the office before walking out. On his way out, he said his goodbyes to a few staff whom he met, out of the hospital Damion strolled into the parking area and straight to his car.
Right inside Mr. Gerard's residence, he could be seen sitting in his dining area, a variety of fruits placed on a plate on the dining table, a bottle of wine by the other side, and a plate of stakes in front of him.Right now Mr. Smith was currently having dinner, with the use of the knife and fork in his hand, Mr. Gerard cut and poked a stake from the large piece in his plate, pushed it into his mouth, and began to chew away. His eyes were shut tight savoring the delicious taste of the stake, the juice pouring into his mouth as he chewed. Mr Gerard grabbed the bottle of wine and poured some of its contents into the transparent glass cup on the dining table, after that he raised the cup to his mouth gulping down the wine in one go. Suddenly there was a knock on his door, a heavy knock. Hearing this, Mr. Gerard frowned, he hated being disturbed while eating especially when it came to dinner. He had always told his guards and
Damion had never been so happy to see Jack and Davina, Just when he thought that all hope was lost, Jack and Davina came running to the rescue. While in the vehicle which had driven past the able-bodied men after them, splashing a pool of dirty water on them which was lodged by the side of the road, Damion couldn't help but wonder how Jack and Davina had came to know about this, or rather about his whereabouts or what he is up to. If he could remember correctly, he never told them about his visit to Scott and also his trip to the underground city for the second time, talking more about kidnapping Hakim and taking him to the Lance towers. Damion couldn't hold back the curiosity burning inside of him “Jack, I must say I have never been this happy to see you and Davina around, this was indeed a perfect timing.” Damion paused.“But I must ask” Damion continued “how did you get to know about this?, I mean how did you get to know what I wa
