Meanwhile, in one of the biggest and most known clubs in the city, the Megaphone Club, Alessia and Kevin sat facing each other. There were a lot of drinks in front of them, with some steaks.“This is like the first time we will be having dinner together after so long.”Kevin smiled. “It has been too long. We sure should have done it sooner. I'm sorry for always cancelling my appointments.”Alessia laughed. “I know there will be plenty of time to do that anyway." Besides, aren't you going home tonight?”Kevin shook his head briefly and ate some of the steak. “I'm not going home tonight. So, be rest assured, I will be spending quality time with you.”Alessia nodded once. “I honestly think you should get a place in Penia City. You won't always need to go home. You can decide to stay in your new place,” she suggested.Kevin thought about it for a moment. “I will get back to you concerning it.”Alessia nodded again. “I will be expecting your response on it. By the way,” she hesitated slight
Again, his date with Alessia has been ruined.Alessia nodded quickly. “You should go quickly. I will find my way home,” she assured.Yet again, Kevin felt bad that his date with Alessia had to come to an end now, but then, Alessia was someone that had been with him for a while now. If anything, he shouldn't be worried about it.He could have as many dates as he wanted with Alessia. She was his safe haven.Kevin hadn't realised that Mia was around him. He didn't even notice. She looked at her table again, and there were four empty bottles of alcohol.Even with the way she was struggling with the men, one would be so sure she was drunk. What could have made her drink so much? Since he had known her for a year now, he knew she wasn't the type. Mia doesn't drink, let alone get drunk. She doesn't even like going to clubs. The men had successfully pulled Mia out of the club while he spoke with Alessia the other time, even despite her struggles. She was no match for the men's strength.He to
Kevin couldn't believe it. Why would the Lille family want to kidnap Mia?It just didn't make sense, and Kevin had questions but no answers.He opened the door and safely placed her on the passenger's side. He made sure she was safely locked before he moved to the driver's side.He got inside and hesitated briefly. He said he wasn't sleeping in the house that night, but it looked like that was what was going to happen. There was no way he would leave Mia in the middle of the road, drunk like she is, not even when there was a failed attempt to kidnap her.The whole issue still amused him. But then, there was now a way he would find out at that spot. He might need to ask Alessia for help.“Kevin?” A soft voice called.Kevin inclined his head towards Mia. She didn't open her eyes, and in fact, she didn't move from her position. It merely thought she was dreaming or just being drunk.Kevin didn't respond. There was no need to. Mia was drunk.“I'm sorry for what I've done to you. And for w
Kevin had to enter Mia’s room again to pick up some clothes. Mia was still sleeping and didn't even shift, even though the door made a creak sound.She really had a lot to drink anyway.He got dressed as early as seven o'clock so he could leave the house. But he made sure the whole family of Perry were done eating before he walked out.He didn't want to face any issues that morning. Unless Mia had told them what he said, they would still be pestering him and being annoying.Kevin didn't want that early that morning.His phone beeped suddenly as he stepped out. It was a message from Jake. It said he was already waiting for him outside the house.He hadn't called him. So, he wondered how he was known to be waiting for him in front of the house.He stepped out nonetheless.Truthfully, a black BMW car was waiting outside. Kevin got inside the backseat.“Good morning, sir,” Jake said the moment Kevin got inside.Kevin looked at him. “Good morning. What's happening?”Jake smiled. “I have a
The three top families were McCarthy, Stewart, and Fitzgerald, leading respectively.In terms of business, the McCarthy family had no rival. They were just like the Phoenix Group in Penia City. The majority of business partners want to sign with them. The Stewart family followed closely, almost taking over.People actually think Stewart might take over before the end of the year. The margin between them wasn't that long.The Fitzgerald were, however, behind by far. It merely looked like they were concerned with keeping their position, but they had no plan to push forward. But then, their reputation was unmatched.Even the Lille family that was on number six were drawing knives.A year ago, McCarthy was also the leading family, but it was followed by Fitzgerald, then Stewart. It looks like the Stewart family is really pushing forward.Ben from the Stewart family has requested a chance to speak with Kevin actually. Kevin had forgotten, but Alessia was sure to include it in the document.
Kevin was shocked and skeptical. For some minutes, the only thing he could do was stare at the message.Why would Mia give him a job in the company? It was something that has never been done.He read the mail for the third time. There was even a date for him to resume. He was supposed to resume work the next day as early as nine o'clock.Kevin laughed at this. He picked up his phone and went through his contact list. He hesitated when he saw Mia’s number, but it only lasted for a few minutes. Kevin dialled her number.It rang the first time, but there was no response. He redialed, but there was no response as well.So, Kevin decided to give her space; perhaps she was in a meeting. She would definitely call back when she sees the notification.He stepped out eventually and walked back to the dining room. The foods have been spread on the table. In fact, there were different delicacies there.Jake sat, salivating. It was vividly clear he was happy by what was in front of him.His phone
“What do you mean? Are you looking down on boss?” Jake questioned suddenly. He was suddenly standing beside them and looking at the man in tuxedo. If looks could kill, the man would have been dead already.The man smirked. “He even calls him boss. "What an irony,” he laughed the more.Kevin scoffed. "Then let's hear the price, as she has said. And let's see who loses.”The older salesperson cracked. “I can't wait for this to unfold.”Alexa moved away but soon returned. She had a tablet in her hands.“The clothes on each statue have a trouser and a top each. One has a jacket and an inner blouse. And we have just three Mannequins. So, the total is 300,000 dollars,” she revealed.The older salesperson started laughing again. “Can you hear that? Did you? There's no way you will be able to afford that.”She had already measured them the moment they walked in. This was why she didn't even bother herself with attending to them. It was all going to be a waste of energy. From their clothing, o
Kevin spent most of his time in his small office, thinking of a perfect plan. And he eventually had it sorted out.He wouldn't be able to find out who the culprit really is without proceeding with plans. Whoever the person was must be difficult to get.That's why he needed to plan very well.There was a lot he had to do, but he was going to do them one at a time.His phone rang suddenly. It was Louis. He picked it up immediately. “Hello Boss. I just arrived in Penia City now,” he announced. “May I know your side so I can come over?”“Oh yes. I will ask Jake to come and get you. He will be there soon.”“Allright boss. I will be waiting.”And the line went off.Kevin walked out of the office. Jake wasn't in the living room. So, he went to check him in his room.He was inside, arranging his clothes.He looked up the moment the door opened. He dropped the clothes with him and hurried to stand in front of Kevin.“Is there anything you want me to do for you, sir?”Kevin nodded once. “Louis
