Lionel nodded once, liking the plan. “I love it!”

“Good,” Kevin smiled. “I need to sleep now. I have an early flight to catch.”

Lionel nodded again. “I would love to catch up with you. And well, with Alessia too since she has suddenly grown to hate me.”

Kevin laughed. “Alessia doesn't hate you.”

Lionel smiled. “Alright boss.”

Lionel walked Kevin out of the bar before he stepped back because Kevin told him to.

He walked back to the room, overjoyed. Who would have thought he would see Lord Phoenix again?

When he received the news of his demise, he was so devastated. This was why he created Mystery and decided to act nonchalant about most things.

But now that Kevin was back, everything was going to change. He didn't mind it, actually.

“Who is there?” He called suddenly.

The door opened quickly, and a man walked inside. He bowed slightly. “Yes Boss.”

“Call me Jake. I have an assignment for the both of you.”

The man bowed slightly and stepped out again.

It didn't take up to a few minutes w

    In a large living room of one of the expensive buildings in the estate, Mendy Karim paved. The living room was heavily furnished with expensive furniture.He hesitated suddenly to look at the door. It wasn't here yet. He glanced at his wristwatch. It was just an hour before the Perry family business party would start. He had ordered his suit and was anxiously waiting for it.He was so excited. It looks like his plan to impress Mia was going accordingly. And the party was a nice opportunity for him to further show her that he was capable of taking care of her and, well, being her husband.His phone made a beep suddenly. That must be his clothes. He moved out, and truly, it was the delivery man. He ordered the suit from one of the expensive boutiques in Penia City. He just wanted to further show Mrs. Perry that he was qualified to be their in-law.But that aside, he had another plan.Alessia was on his mind. Alessia was the dream of almost all the men in Penia City. And to think Alessia

    Mendy laughed out loud at the statement Kevin made on the phone. It amazed him that Kevin was useless but still displaying his stupidity. Everyone, except the few invited guests, knew how useless the son-in-law was. “You have to be kidding me,” he laughed again. “You don't even have a job; talk more of having money? You don't even have a company; how then can you make me go bankrupt?” He said in a voice louder than his normal own so that the other doormen could hear him.“Don't be too full of yourself,” Kevin said calmly.Mendy felt a stab of annoyance at his words. “How dare you!” Kevin scoffed but didn't say anything. He glanced at his wristwatch instead. Mendy has just five more minutes to go.“You are going to kneel in this instance, and apologies!” He said suddenly, furious. “Do you know how much I've done to you and your family? If it wasn't for me, will you be here as a doorman? Still helping your family? I know what I did!” He bragged.He was annoyed, and Kevin could see it

    “Don't what?” Kevin teased.Mendy’s head hung dejectedly. He was too shocked to even utter a word. How could he have thought that Kevin had such power?It was why he was sometimes nonchalant. But Mendy still found it difficult to understand. How could someone like Kevin Haverthwaite have the have the power to ruin the family company that has been in existence for years?“You should get up if you have nothing to say,” Kevin said in a low voice.The other doormen were looking at them now but could not make out what they were saying. They were shocked when Mendy went on his knees.“No!” Mendy said quickly. He was suddenly gentle. “I mean, I'm fine being like this.”If Kevin could ruin the family company within ten minutes. Then there was nothing he couldn't do. What if he made him angrier and he decided to do more to him?“You are?” Kevin tilted his head to the side and waited for his response.Mendy cleared his throat meaningfully. Who would have thought he would be kneeling for Kevin

    Mia turned to Kevin, ignoring Nathan. “You should get back to your post and remember the missing for today,” she finished and walked away.Nathan stylishly withdrew his hand. He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life, but it didn't bother him that much. He loved women who were unwilling. It was always like a challenge to him.“Well,” Morris cleared his throat meaningfully. “That was my sister, Mia.”Nathan stared back at Morris with shock and gratitude. “Seriously?”Morris nodded once. “I'm so glad you were invited to this party. Come, let's get you settled,” he offered and led him to some arranged seats.The party started almost immediately. Everyone was present, including some family members who couldn't meet up with Mrs. Perry's birthday. So, it was crowded.Morris’ father arrived late, with his brother, Anthony, Alessia’s father.Suddenly, Alessia walked inside with two men in black suits.Mrs. Perry was overjoyed seeing her, as well as the others present at the party.

    “What!”Murmur ensued among Mia’s cousins.Mia looked up, shocked. Was that true? Did Alessia really give the wine to Kevin? It only meant one thing: that Kevin had been embarrassed for nothing. With the truth, she would be able to save face in the family. Her cousins that have insulted her would take it back. After all, his husband knew the popular Alessia from Phoenix Group.Silence ensued as everyone was too embarrassed to even say anything to Alessia. Who would have thought that Kevin didn't really steal the wine?“Well, he helped me once, and I gave him the wine. But you started treating him like a thief without knowing his worth. For this case, I will be cancelling the cooperation with the Perry family.” She announced.What!Everyone was gobbled.Alessia didn't wait for anyone to talk before she walked out of the hall. She was very angry. In fact, she would like to do more for them, but she needed Kevin's permission before anything would happen.How could they treat the mighty L

    Kevin watched Mia walk in and released a sigh. Mia was not remorseful at all. She wasn't even apologising for all she had allowed and all her family had made her go through. The only thing she was concerned about was satisfying her family. Well, it was why she got married to him in the first place. Kevin just thought she would change.But it seemed like he was expecting too much.He brought out his phone and placed a call to Alessia. She picked it up immediately. “Lord Phoenix!”“Alessia.”“What is happening, boss? Why is the Perry family behaving like that? They should be taught a lesson,” Alessia muttered angrily. “They should know that they are not supposed to mess with the Lord Phoenix.”“It's ok, Alessia. It's not something you should be angry for. Like I said, the Perry family is a group of clowns. They have no idea who they are messing with.”“Well, I can teach such clowns lessons they will never forget.”“Yes, thats right. The Perry's family is only enjoying this benefit be

    “That was Alessia, wasn't it?” Morris asked suddenly, a wide smile on his face as he waited.Alessia nodded slowly.Everyone jubilated.“Nathan did it!” Morris announced.“Wow, he's really close with Miss Alessia.”“Seeing that he got the contract back for us in a few minutes shows how qualified he is.”“He's in fact the one we should be grateful for and not a useless husband.”“Morris was right. Kevin might know Miss Alessia, but he can't do this. If Mr. Nathan hasn't come in, we might not be able to retrieve the contract.“And it was Kevin's fault that we lost the contract in the first place.”Everyone started to shower Nathan with comments of praise while mocking Kevin and blaming him for their earlier misfortune. Mrs Perry was overjoyed. She looked at Nathan with a look of approval. “Thank you so much, Mr. Nathan. We are really grateful for what you have done.”Nathan smiled with pride. “It's nothing, Mrs. Perry. In fact, I have to call our manager back and praise his efficiency.

    “Ma'am! Ma'am!” He called, but the woman didn't respond.Kevin was afraid. He checked her pulse and was relieved that she was still breathing, but he knew that he had to get help for her.Who knew what the woman had gone through? Besides, why was she hellbent on meeting Alessia? Something that involves Alessia involves him too.A man rushed closer suddenly. “Please, get an ambulance or anything!”“I've called the ambulance! They would be here soon,” the man responded.The voice sounded so familiar that Kevin looked up. He was surprised to see Jake.“What! Jake? What are you doing here?”Jake bowed. “I am here to serve you, and I will serve you till my last breath.”Kevin stared, shocked. What!Just as he opened his mouth to talk, the ambulance pulled up.Jake looked at Kevin as the woman was being helped into the bus. “I will go with her and make sure she's fine. I will text you where she is as well.”Kevin nodded once and watched the bus for a moment until it was out of sight before

    This is going to be interesting, Kevin thought as he nodded, a ghost of a smile on his lips. “Yes, it's me. You're at the right place.” He shrugged when Anthony still said nothing and just stared at him, his brows slightly furrowed. “After all, you sent your men to me with a message that you'd like to meet me.”Anthony blinked, hating that he let his surprise be evident like that. Yet, he could not help the question that came out of his mouth next. "So you're Mia's husband? The one that has been beating my men up?"Kevin laughed, unable to hold himself back. And this only made Anthony angrier. It made him feel stupid. Who does he think he is, he thought, clenching his fist? Kevin covered up, “I should actually be the one to ask the questions, Anthony. Because I have no idea why on earth you would want to meet with me.”Anthony's insides simmered with anger, but his curiosity still triumphed. “Why would you want to meet me too?" He demanded. Then he added before Kevin could give him a

    Kevin was finally able to convince Jake. Though he was utterly certain that his boss could handle himself, he was still reluctant to leave him. But Kevin was insistent and Jake didn't want to keep telling him that he would stay with him.After he was done with his lunch; a meal of french fries and chicken, not the healthiest choice, but adequately filling, and was sure that lunch time was over, he placed a phone call to Vivian. She picked up immediately, “Hello, boss.”"Come up to my office now,” he ordered succinctly."Okay, sir.”A couple of minutes later, there was a knock on his door. "Come in," he said immediately without looking up from his desktop, aware that it was Vivian.He looked up when the door was pushed open. “I called you here regarding tonight's dinner,” he went straight to business.“Okay, boss.”"It's just a few hours from now and since it was quite impromptu, there's yet to be a reservation for the team at any restaurant. I've just sent a list of highly and positiv

    By the time his secretary returned, Kevin had already come to a conclusion, deciding what would be the perfect impromptu benefit for every staff member. “I've done as you asked, sir. They're all waiting downstairs,” Vivian said, eager to have Kevin downstairs and hear why he has asked them all to gather.“Alright," Kevin nodded. He got on his feet, grabbed his phone, and stuffed it in his pocket. At the door, just a couple of feet before Vivian, who had her hands clasped in her front and her gaze on the floor. “Lead the way," he told her.The secretary led the way, and Kevin followed her as they both walked through the hall, down the stairs to the lobby.“Good day, boss," their low conversations ceased, and they all chorused once Kevin stepped into their line of sight. He nodded. He briefly raised his hand as his gaze swept over them. “Hello, everyone. How are we all doing? How has work been today?”There was the chorus of ‘fine,’ ‘awesome,’ and ‘great.’He nodded. “Very well then.

    “Okay. I was just thinking a better school would do her good," Howard said.Kevin shook his head. “No, there'll be no need for that. It's like when you have a slight headache and you decide to go for a scan when all you need is a pain reliever. I'm not saying bullying is a mild offense. It isn't. But the school is a good one. The flaw they had was not seriously tackling the issue with the bullies…” and the principal's foolishness to favor the kids of sponsors, but he didn't tell that to Howard. "And I've taken care of it. So, there's no need to worry, Howard. Put your mind at rest and continue to play your role as her father. Lisa will be fine and you'll be too."Howard looked up at Kevin and nodded. “Thank you so much, boss. I really appreciate this."Kevin shook his head. "It's nothing, really. I did it for Lisa. Every victim of bullies deserves to be freed.”"Thank you,” Howard said one last time."Yeah," Kevin said absentmindedly as he remembered to let him know that… “Your accoun

    Lisa lingered at the door to her classroom. She turned back the way she had come,gazing down the shirt hallway.Maybe I should go back to uncle Kevin and plead with him to follow me in, she thought.She knew that Kevin had done something to them, their apology was a testament of that, but… there was this fear that they've instilled in her. She barely ever showed it, but their presence fill her with dread. When they had walked out of the basketball court, she had grown rigid with fear until she remembered that the principal was by her side and Kevin wasn't far away.“Don't worry, Lisa,” she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “You’ve got this. You can do this. Uncle Kevin has warned them off, there's nothing to be scared about anymore.”After the quick pep talk, she lifted her chin and squared her shoulders like her mom always teaches her to, and walked into the class.She passed a quick greeting to the teacher and walked to her seat, avoiding to look in her ex-bullies’ direction.

    “Wow,” Kevin exclaimed. "That's great!” Vivian beamed."Which company is that?" Kevin asked.“Glikkle enterprise."The name Amy mentioned immediately rang a bell. Though not as big as the Mekin company, Glikkle enterprise was one of the big businesses right now."What a great way to begin the day.” Kevin smiled. “See that we're not doomed like Mr Ross, the manager of the Mekin company equivalent to the CEO of any other company, thought we'd be."Amy and Vivian laughed lightly. “We're not, boss.” Amy said, a smile plastered on her lips. “No one can stop the Print Odd from growing."“Now, that's the zeal. Let no one intimidate you just because the company is a start up.”“Yes, boss,” they chorused, insanely glad that they had a man like Kevin as their boss."So boss, when will you be free so I can book the appointment?”Kevin ruminated on her question for a while. “Tomorrow, by 12, will be fine."“Alright, boss. I'll go get started now."Kevin nodded as Amy walked out. He handed over

    Kevin ended the call with Gideon. He was about to pull back on the road when his phone rang again.With his hands still on the steering wheel, he glanced back at the phone. The moment he saw the caller's ID, one of his hands fell from the wheel as he picked up his phone and answered the call.“Hello, boss, good morning.”"Lionel, good morning.”"I called to ask if you've heard from the guy, boss.”"Gideon? The one you suggested to handle the company in my absence, right?”"Yes, boss. We've talked, and I have actually given him a go-ahead. In fact, he has arrived in Landary province. He's in the country right now.”"Yes, I know that. I've heard from him. I actually just finished talking to him.”“Okay, then.”“Yeah, everything's alright. We've discussed a bit. He seems like a good guy. And I can see he's very interested in the role he'll be handling. That's a good start.”"Yes, boss. Once I told him, he accepted in a heartbeat.”Kevin chuckled lightly. "I'm not surprised.”“By the way,

    “People need to learn to drive properly,” Kevin muttered under his breath, shaking his head as he slowed down and allowed a motorcycle to speed past the front of his car. If he had been driving as recklessly as the boy and kept up with his speed without being cautious, he'd have hit the ignorant boy. As he marched on the accelerator and returned to his initial average speed, his gaze followed the young boy on the motorcycle who had sped ahead. Kevin began to contemplate if he should go after the boy and reprimand him for his speed. He was on a packed highway; he should move with some sense and not just speed ahead because he feels adrenaline pumping through his body because he's on a power bike. Before Kevin could make up his mind, his attention was drawn from the motorcycle that was rapidly disappearing in the distance ahead; his phone rang out.With his gaze now on the road, he reached for his phone on the dashboard. He switched his attention between the road and his phone. Ashe c

    “So that's all about the premises,” Jake said as they stepped out of the storeroom behind the Print Odd building. “As time goes on, you'll get used to the ins and outs of the building.""Thank you,” Howard said to Jake, grateful for the detailed tour. The Print Odd building was quite bigger than it looked. If Jake hadn't shown him around, he was sure to get lost someday.“So now, let's head up so I can introduce you to the two second most important people after the boss.”“Okay,” Howard said, then he added, guessing. "That would be the manager and…" He trailed off, and Jake didn't hesitate to fill in.“And his secretary. They basically run this place since the boss is always busy."Howard nodded as they made their way inside the main building. Jake first walked them toward Vivian's cubicle. And as luck would have it, as they approached, he saw that Amy was right there with her, hunched over Vivian's desk, both of their gazes glued to the system as she pointed at the desktop's screen,
