"Richard, what?" Chris asked in awe as he removed the bed sheet from his body. Yue Wang was stunned, she tried to lean closer to hear whatever they were both discussing on the phone but it was as if they were speaking gibberish and she didn't understand any so she stayed still. "Young master, Richard Velvet will be your new lawyer and he'll resume duty next week," Cosmos said firmly, his voice cold and still as his voice resounded over the phone.Chris pinched the space between his brows. He stood up from the bed pacing back and forth with unease. "Cosmos, can you arrange for another lawyer? I don't think Richard Velvet will be eligible." Cosmos let out a low laugh. "I know your history with Richard Velvet, young master and that's the more reason the chairman appointed him as your lawyer.""Wait, the chairman?" Chris exclaimed almost yelling."Duty calls, young master. I'll be home during dinner." Cosmos informed before hanging up.At the mention of the chairman, Yue Wang felt uneas
The meeting between Cosmos and the woman came to an end. She had a smirk plastered on her face as she bit her lips while she watched Cosmos speak to her about the article and case regarding the chairman.When it was time for him to see her off, he hesitated."What's wrong?" The woman stopped, turning around to face Cosmos who stood there frozen holding her handbag."I don't think this is right. It... isn't." He shutters.The woman let out a low laugh. "You think so, huh? Everything I've been doing so far. I'm doing all that for you and when I become the wife of the chairman, you won't have anything to worry about.""But...but...still I can't go against the chairman and you don't have any right to threaten me with my secret." Cosmos retorted."Oh?" A smug look plastered on the woman's face as he walked towards him while Cosmos adjusted his gaze from her. The more he looked at her, the more angry he became, he clenched his fist beside him, clutching onto her handbag tightly. "Your secre
"Larry, did you see the news?" Liana came out of her room, rushing to the sitting room where she found Larry focused on the big screen, his face void of any emotion as she thought about what was going through his mind. She moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulder behind him as she kissed his cheek. "You seem so serious, what's the matter?"Larry heaved a sigh. "It's nothing. I just think that they weren't supposed to disclose the news." Liana nodded her head in agreement. She unwrapped her arms from his shoulder and went on to sit beside him, cuddling each other on the couch. "Now we're living together what's your plans?""Plans? You want us to get married?" He teased chuckling, raising her chin.Liana was dumbfounded for a while, she shifted her gaze away from him, and a slight brush crept up her cheeks as she twirled her hair. "We shouldn't get married immediately, I don't even know your family or much about you.""Family?" Larry exhaled. "I don't know anything
"You have to take it easy or you'll end up in that hole." Came the voice of a man who pulled Richard away, right after he was about to fall into a nearby hole due to his drunkenness.Richard staggered, and the man held him carefully while Richard turned his head to meet the man's gaze, his blurry vision became clear at the sight of the man in front of him as he became still, his gaze not leaving the man's face."Aren't you going to let go of my arms now?" The man asked raising his brow.Embarrassed, Richard removed the man's arms from his hold, shifting his gaze away from him as he ran his fingers through his hair in embarrassment. Both men stood beside the hole, Richard refusing to say anything to the man standing in front of him as he kept sighing and refusing to meet the man's gaze.The man kept checking his watch as he waited for Richard to say something but the latter didn't move an inch. "Let's go back to the bar and talk." He said, leaving Richard all alone as he headed to the
Throughout the night, Chris didn't close his eyes to sleep. Larry's name kept haunting his thoughts as he got busy with his computer, searching for Larry Conrad on the web but there was no valid information about him making Chris sigh in frustration as he checked the web on his phone but the same result.He didn't have anyone close to him that'll help him find Larry's information. He swiveled on the swivel chair thinking of anyone who would be able to get Larry's information on a low-key but to no avail. Chris went back to checking the web and found Larry's phone number."Is this valid?" He soliloquized, saving the number on his phone as he kept searching for more and more info but it was only the phone number that was the only information the internet had of Larry Conrad. "How can't his phone number be on the web when his personal information isn't here?" He muttered kissing his teeth in annoyance.The thought of Larry and Liana together made him more furious. With Larry having the sa
Chris settled on his desk, while Yue Wang couldn't get over the interior decors of his office."Not bad." She managed to say as she sat on the couch at the other side of the office, tossing her handbag on the other side of the couch.The knock on the door disrupts the peace of the office decorum. The large doors were pushed open and his secretary came in, she glanced at Yue Wang who was sitting comfortably on the couch with the corner of her eyes as she walked up to Chris, placing a file on his desk."Sir, here are the articles you asked for." She said with a smile on her face, twirling her hair."Hand it over to my assistant," Chris said without sparing her a glance as his immersed attention was on the paperwork he was going through."Assistant?" The secretary repeated in curiosity as her eyes settled on Yue Wang who was helping herself with a cup of coffee. A nervous chuckle escaped her lips as she smiled in relief. "I'll do that, sir." She took back the file and handed it over to
After a long day at work, Yue Wang managed to finish the article and handed it over to Chris for him to check it out. The latter took the article from her and thoroughly checked through it, every single paragraph and every slight detail. "This is too verbal.""Huh?" She raised her brow, giving him a questioning look. "What I mean is that you should make the tenses simpler. I think the first written article was much easier to read than this." Chris pointed out, explaining everything she needed to make amends for in the article she had rewritten."You prefer the one written by some unknown person than mine?" Yue Wang kissed her teeth, feigning annoyance to get on his nerves.A hearty chuckle escaped Chris's lips. "That's not what I mean. Let's separate our personal lives from work, rewrite this article, and make it much easier for readers to read. Then bring the edited one over so I can send it to my secretary, it needs to reach the editor-in-chief before I can be made public." He said
At Evans Group, news reached Lawyer Raphael that Richard had declined the offer of him being the CEO's lawyer. Lawyer Raphael couldn't accept the offer either because his workload as the senior lawyer of Evans Group was too much and he enjoyed being a senior, rather than being a lawyer under the CEO. Even though it was a promotion on his part he couldn't accept it.He summoned Richard to his office and immediately the latter came, Lawyer Raphael closed his laptop and went up to meet Richard who was leaning in the door unfazed."I heard you refused to work as the CEO's lawyer." Lawyer Raphael stated, trying as much as possible to cool himself and maintain his poise."It wasn't my utter motive. I meant with the CEO and he told me to decline the offer myself." "You met with the CEO?" Lawyer Raphael asked immediately, he processed Richard's words in his head and busted into a peak of hilarious laughter. "You want to cover up with that false story?"Richard regretted in an instant why he
