“Where should I drive you to, boss?" Jake asked suddenly as Kevin dropped the call.Kevin thought about it quickly. “You will have to drop me off.”His phone rang suddenly. It was Lionel. He picked it up. “Hello Lionel.”“Boss, I've just spoken with the Mayor of Penia City. He would call you any time from now because I've sent him your contact.”Kevin nodded once, but he remembered something immediately. “Did you tell him who I am?”“No, Boss. I only told him you are a representative of Lord Phoenix and the Leader of the Falcone State because I didn't want him to look down on you. So, you can also be able to work with him fully on whatever you think is right,” he explained.Kevin smiled. “You did right.”“Also, I wanted to inform you that it's now all over the news that the Lord Phoenix has returned,” he revealed.“Good, Lionel.”Kevin looked at Jake now. “I will get down now. I will call Alessia. You can go to her; she will give you a space in the suites.”Jake smiled. “Thank you so
It was a few minutes past seven, and Kevin was having a dinner with the Mayor of Penia City.He was dressed in one of his best dresses, even though he wasn't able to get himself a nice dress.But then he loved being simple.Oasis Restaurant was a high-end restaurant. It was actually affordable to all because it has various categories for various people. You can book based on your capabilities. There are normal tables, and there are also some VIP boxes.Kevin booked a VIP box through Alessia. He texted the mayor a few minutes ago as well before he walked out of the house.He hadn't walked a few minutes when Jake pulled off beside him. He hurried out of the car to open the door for Kevin, but Kevin ignored him, opened the door, and got inside before he would reach his side.Jack smiled nevertheless and hurried over to his side of the car. Kevin was humble; there was no doubt about that.“Where am I taking you to, boss?”“Oasis Restaurant.”“Alright boss.”In a few minutes, they got to O
Morris burst into laughter immediately. “What are you doing here, Kevin?”Kevin stared, confused for a moment. “I should be the one asking you that question. What are you doing in my compartment?”Nathan stared at Kevin for a moment. “Who is he?”Morris waved off quickly. “He's a nobody.”“Good then,” Nathan smiled. “It should be easy to convince him to leave then.”“Though I'm not even sure if he booked this place. Perhaps he's waiting for someone else or he sneaked inside,” Morris mocked.Mia felt disgraced. She couldn't say anything, as it wasn't only Nathan this time but also the minister of Finace. She couldn't introduce him at all.“Me waiting for someone is none of your business, actually. I can be anywhere at anytime,” Kevin said.He wondered why Mia was in Oasis Restaurant with Morris’ friend that she just met yesterday. He looked at Mia since it didn't look like she wanted to talk. “Is something going on here? Why are you here?”Mia released a sigh. “Please leave this compa
The mayor was clearly annoyed. He didn't know the relationship between Kevin and the people he met with him, but he was sure they were trying to override him.“I'm still yet to understand what's happening here,” the mayor muttered thickly. He looked at the minister. “Perhaps the minister can explain it better to me. As far as I know, I and Kevin already booked this place. I don't know why you expect him to leave this place for you. Who can you be?”The minister shivered. “I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding.”Mia and Morris couldn't talk. They saw that the minister was in fact shuddering. They knew better than talking. What if they angered the mayor the more?“That's not an excuse, actually! But that aside, I'm not the one you should be apologising to. You embarrassed my guest!”The minister stepped forward with apologetic expression. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Kevin.”Mia looked at him, shocked for a moment. Mr Kevin?“I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding,” he repeated.The mayor looked
Kevin took the steering because Morris refused to drive Kevin home. To him, it was a sign of disrespect. So, he sat in the back seat while Mia sat at the passenger side.“What were you discussing with the mayor anyway?" Morris asked suddenly as Kevin took a turn.Kevin regarded him for a moment through the front mirror. “You can't force the words out of my mouth. You had better mind your business,” he said harshly.Morris felt a stab of annoyance. “Mia, did you hear what he just said?”Mia grunted. “I have no time for this, Morris. If you can't stay quiet, you can as well get out of my car!” Mia said in a harsh, cold voice.Morris groaned and looked away.Mia was in fact annoyed that Morris disturbed her. She was thinking about who Kevin was. But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't arrive at a conclusion about who Kevin was.Then she realised that being angry and harsh won't even make Kevin talk. He seemed to have changed recently. Maybe she could try to be calm so t
Everyone started to chant Kevin's name again. They were so happy at the turn of things. They thought it was trouble when Nathan showed up with Jack again.Kevin stood up and smirked. “You better leave before I change my mind.”Nathan regarded him for a moment, stood, and rushed out of the vicinity. Jack hurried after him.“Mr. Kevin,” an old man of sixties called suddenly, a smile on his face. “Thank you so much for coming to help us. We all appreciate it,” he said sincerely.Kevin reciprocated his smile. “You shouldn't be bothered about them again. The Watson's family will no longer participate in the demolition. So, you have nothing to worry about,” he assured.Everyone whooped in delight.“And because of this, we will like to entertain you to express our gratitude.”“Oh, that won't be necessary,“ Kevin started to say.More men walked out. “Please. It's to show how grateful we are. Please, don't say no.”Kevin smiled and widened. “It's ok. I will tag then.”Nathan didn't stop until
Alessia nodded once. “It's done, immediately,“ she assured, pulling out her phone and dialling her secretary number. “Suspend all cooperation with the Watson's family immediately,” she muttered and hung up. She looked at Kevin again. “It's all dome, Boss.”Kevin nodded once. “When a new person takes up the demolition project, I will let you know so you can make some investigation for me. It has to be someone who can do the work because we wouldn't want history to repeat itself,” he explained.Alessia nodded once. “Yes. There's something I need to discuss with you. Are you going to see Oliver now?”Kevin thought about it quickly. He had nothing to do at that moment anyway, so why not?He nodded once. “Yes.”“Then I can drive us in my car. Jake can take the other car,” she suggested.In the next few minutes, they were in the car. Alessia drove while Kevin sat in the passenger's seat.“Is everything alright?” Kevin initiated the conversation. Alessia nodded once. “I just saw the news re
Nathan drove himself to the hospital. He felt pain on his cheeks where Kevin had slapped him and needed to get treated.He was still in a daze how it happened so fast. It was no news that Kevin was close to the mayor or he merely held such power.But then he was yet to figure out why Perry's family doesn't see this.The doctor had administered some drugs to him and even gave him some injections to help relieve the pain.As he drove home, he placed a call to Morris. It rang twice, but Morris didn't pick it up.He groaned inwardly and pulled into his garage. His phone rang almost immediately, and he thought it was Morris.He glanced at the screen and realised it was his mother. He released a sigh and picked it up.“Where the heck are you? Why aren't you at home?” His mother yelled at him. She sounded very angry, and Nathan was shocked.What could have made her so angry?“I just pulled into the garage,” Nathan responded softly.“Get inside now! Your father and I are waiting,” she finishe
