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
It was eight in the night when Jake pulled in front of Perry's villa.“Should I pick you up tomorrow, sir?”Kevin nodded once, even though he wasn't yet sure how tomorrow would be. But then he was sure that he would definitely be leaving home tomorrow.Besides, he still needed to meet and talk to Louis concerning his plans.He walked inside. It was late in the night. So, no one was in the living room.Kevin thought perhaps Mia was even asleep now. Well, if she was. Then, he might have to wait to talk to her the next day.The reason he was intentionally coming late was because of her family anyway.“I thought you were coming early,” a soft voice said suddenly as Kevin started towards one of the maid rooms.Kevin stopped in his tracks and turned towards where the voice came from. Mia was standing by the fridge. She opened it and pulled out a bottle of water.She took a sip and turned to look at Kevin. “I've been waiting for you.”“I had a lot to do.”Mia gathered her brows amazingly.“A
Kevin couldn't believe it. “A bath, with you?”Or did he heat wrong?Mia hesitated briefly, as if thinking about it. “I said what I said. I don't like to be indebted to anyone, just like you.”Kevin was surprised. Indeed, she was definitely up to something. How could such a matter be something they would be dragging?”“I thought all these things were supposed to happen between two couples that are in love with each other. Why must it happen over a deal between you?”Mia frowned, bothered. “So, you won't have it with me?”Kevin released a ragged sigh. “I will resume tomorrow then if thats what you truly want.”Mia squeezed his head in concentration.She wouldn't lie, but the response hurt her.“Are you saying you will rather work than do stuff with me?”Kevin didn't know where the allegations were coming from. He merely thought that Mia was doing all she could to make sure Kevin started working at Euphoric Bio. She knew he would eventually succumb if she pressed further.Or was there mo
