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
He walked to the secretary desk. “Hi,” he called softly to gain her attention.The secretary ignored him and continued to rummage through her desk for something he had no idea of.“Excuse me?” Kevin called again.The secretary finally looked up, but the dirty stare she sent Kevin was enough to last him for a decade.“Can't you see that I'm busy? I'm looking for something!” She snapped.Kevin was taken aback. How could she be so rude? It was as if she had something against him already.“I don't mean to. I mean, I am here because your boss.“I know! Aren't you Kevin, the boss husband?”Kevin hesitated. “Then you should know why I am here.”"Yes, but you will give me some minutes to get myself sorted out. I didn't come here for you.”Kevin scoffed. He was shocked and disappointed. How could Mia's secretary be talking like this to him?Well, he wasn't really shocked anyway. Mia secretary must have seen the family abusing him. Now, it's not even a big deal to her again.“Are you going to w
Jake was outside, waiting for Kevin. Kevin got out of the company and entered the car.“Start the car. We need to be there as soon as possible. I've shared with you the address of where we are going.”"Yes, boss, I've seen it.”The place of the venue was the company, and it was a bit far from Euphoric Bio. Kevin arrived at the location ten minutes before the allocated time expired.Mane Publishing Company was a big one. On the way, Kevin had done some research. Mane Publishing Company used to be one of the top twenty publishing companies in Penia City, but that was before the CEO fell sick a year ago. Apparently, they have been managing his health so well that no one had time to follow up on the company.So, it started dwindling in sales. And when he died, there was a lot to do in the company. Though Kevin didn't understand why they could take up the job of publishing the article that they did about Anthony. Because even at that time, the name of the company has slowly moved from th
Kevin didn't expect it, but it was evidently clear. Anthony must be oppressing him. Currently, Anthony is desperate. He might seriously be trying to get the Watsons back on their feet.Ian took in a deep breath. He was thinking about it. Anthony seemed so serious about his threats, and he was worried about it. If he sold the company to Kevin, he might be in trouble.But then, not selling it was equally dangerous. He had already made his plan. In fact, he was supposed to leave tomorrow morning. But then he had to make a decision very fast. Whatever he decides on may make or mar him.“What is the matter about? Is there something else wrong?” Kevin asked. Ian released a sigh. “There's nothing, actually. I don't think I will be selling the company to you. If I do, I will be putting you into trouble, or do you want to be in trouble for buying this company?”Kevin nodded once, shocking Ian.“What? Anthony will torture you. I will be out of this country with my family before he even realise
