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
Kevin had barely stepped foot inside when he heard his name. “Kevin,” a loud voice said. Kevin turned to see a young looking man, walking towards him with annoyance plastered on his face.“I knew you would be the one.”Kevin searched his body for a tag, something that would tell him who he was.“I'm Garrett, the manager.”OhGarrett narrowed his eyes at him "Where have you been?" Kevin took in a deep breath “I had something urgent to take care of. I’m sorry I had to step out.”“Something urgent?” Garrett shrieked “Do you think this is some casual day job you can walk out of whenever it pleases you? You were hired to be here. All day. Not to waltz out because you suddenly have something more important.”Kevin tried to control his emotions, clenching his fists by his sides. Perhaps Ellen had told him something about him. “I understand, sir. It won’t happen again.”Garrett scoffed “You’re on thin ice, Kevin. Do you even realize how lucky you are to be here? You’re practically replacea
Alessia took off her high heels the moment she walked through the front door. Plopping down onto the sofa, she massaged her aching feet. It had been a long, long day at work and she was tired. All through the drive to her house, she had thought longingly of a shower and a nap. Something lingered at the edge of her memory, something that seemed important. Frowning, she stopped what she was doing and then a few seconds later she remembered. She had a date with Louis tonight! "Ugh! So much having a quiet night at home," Alessia muttered to herself. It was not that she really minded the evening out though. Louis was a good friend and it had been a while since she saw him, a year to be precise. They had so much to catch up on over dinner and drinks. Alessia was just about to call for a maid when one came running down the stairs to welcome her and take her bags. "I'll be going out later this evening," Alessia told the maid. "Contact my designer and tell him to send over a dress, s
Kevin was slouched in the surveillance room chair, feeling like time was crawling by. The room was silent except for the low sound coming from the monitors. Each monitor showed scenes of nothing more interesting than empty hallways, quiet parking lots, and the occasional maintenance worker.He tapped his fingers against the desk, yawning. It had been hours since he’d had a reason to move from his seat, and he was trying to fight sleep when he heard a faint knock on the door.He straightened up, feeling curious. The door opened and Mia walked in. Just seeing her standing there felt like a burst of light in his dull evening.He grinned widely “Mia! Hey!” Kevin was happy that she’d taken the time to see him. But Mia’s expression was unreadable. Her face was set in her usual cold mask. She didn't even acknowledge his enthusiasm.. “Kevin,” she said dryly “it’s time to go home.”Kevin’s smile faded slightly as he heard her tone. He shifted in his chair, looking around the room, almost li
