“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
Mia woke up that morning feeling indifferent. She slept late because she was busy thinking about Kevin.But she knew she had to eat with the family that morning, especially since Morris already said he was going to tell the home family what Kevin had been up to.She was already dressed before breakfast. She thought she might also drive Kevin to work. With that, she would be able to monitor Kevin's every movement.Mia looked at Morris as everyone settled down for breakfast.Morris also looked at her, as if silently reminding her what he had promised to do.“Grandmother! Mia has offered Kevin a position in the company.”Everyone turned to look at Mia, as if they couldn't believe what she had done.She expected it, though. She knew the day would come and her family would question her. She made the decision alone anyway.“What?” It was Morris' father that spoke. Even her father looked disappointed, but she wasn't even expecting much to begin with.“What will that useless husband of yours
Kevin was impressed. He has always been impressed with Howard, but he was sure not expecting what he did.“How did you survive though? I thought you were dead.”Howard shook his head briefly. “I wasn't dead, but I thought I was as well.”Kevin laughed.Howard unbuttoned his shirt by the collar and pulled one of the arms aside to reveal a wound by his chest, just close to his heart.“Actually, I was in coma for five months. The doctor said I escaped death briefly. The bullet almost hit my heart. It was a near-death experience,” he explained.“If the gun had moved a bit, it would have penetrated his heart. And he would have died instantly,“ Irene explained.“But then I was forced to retire because of my injury.”Kevin felt sad for him. Howard had to pass through such an ordeal because of him.He stepped forward and pulled Howard into a hug.Howard was shocked for a moment. He hadn't expected it. Kevin used to be a big boss, someone he didn't dare stand in front of, talking more of huggi
Mia was half upset and worried. Maybe she should have confronted Kevin about it and made sure he told her the truth before she let her family know.But then, she couldn't control that in some way since it was Morris that actually told her family. And she and Kevin already had a disagreement the night before.Maybe, just maybe they could discuss it at work that day.Also, she wanted to talk to Morris. She wondered why he didn't tell the whole family that he was cheating, or maybe he doesn't even have any evidence to back up his claim.She pulled into the garage, got out of the car, and went inside the company.Her secretary met her in the elevator. “Get Kevin to see me now.”Her secretary bowed and walked out of the elevator before it would close.When Mia got inside her office, she dropped her bag and awaited Kevin. She believed they would need to settle the issue before any work that morning.Though she knew that if she wanted Kevin to continue to work in Euphoric Bio, she wouldn't h
“What?”“Does that mean there will be a party? I'm from Landary Province." Alessia asked.Kevin nodded once. “There will be. That's why I said I would move people's expectations to Landary Province. We will need these people to strike again to get them.”Louis nodded once. “That's right. Everyone that has requested to see Lord Phoenix will attend. Something will definitely happen.”Alessia nodded several times. “You are right. The Lord Phoenix is very right. We need to drive them out.”Kevin nodded once. “Exactly how it will be, but we will discuss more when I settle down in Landary Province,“ he assures them.“I have someone in Landary Province; I will let you know when I get an office space for you,” Louis assured.Kevin nodded once.“And if I see anything around in Penia City, I will let you know,” Alessia said as well.“Boss, I've prepared some dishes for you,” Cindy said suddenly.Kevin smiled. “Thank you for that. I think I have to eat now. I still have to get somewhere,” he mut
