His Influence Chapter 14
George noticed Prince's countenance and dropped his drink on the table before inquiring.“What is the problem? I thought you came here to celebrate. Why do you look unhappy?" Prince stared back at his friend and was about to say something but George stopped him.“Wait, Is it because of your brother? Why don't you just arrest him and get them to teach him a lesson. I have a feeling that he will surely change by the time he comes out of jail.”"You can look for incriminating evidence against him. Something that will get him locked up for a few months." Prince took a sip of his drink and sighed deeply before shaking his head a few times. "He's still my brother and I can't get myself to arrest him.”"I'm not sure that's what my Dad would do in such a situation. I'll just give him time to change. However, if he persists, I'll have no choice but to arrest him as you suggested.”"But you also know that I have to keep my identity hidden. I still enjoy my privacy and confronting Austin would

Prince sighed deeply and gradually turned around to see Austin grinning at him.“Austin, what do you want? Why don't you go back to your wayward group of friends and continue wasting my money. However, I assure you that a day of reckoning will come." “The day that you'd pay for all your stupidity." As Prince said those words, the annoying grin on his brother's face disappeared and was replaced with a smirk.“Really?" Austin still had that stupid smirk on his face as he spoke."Well, you should be grateful that I've not busted your ass yet. I'm still covering up for you because of the meager amount of money you pay me.”"I'm not a criminal that can be busted. The only crime I committed was to want my privacy which you're using to exploit me.” Prince replied to his brother. He was angry and really wanted to punch his brother's face but had to stop himself from doing so.It hurts so much that his own family had to be torn on his flesh.He had to deal with the betrayal of Lara and also

It was already late when Lara and Kyle finally decided to go home. They had to be sure that the media group was no longer in sight before they came out.Lara called Derrick, her driver, to come and pick her up.While they waited for her driver, Lara sat with Kyle in his car and the duo were deep in their thoughts.Kyle was wondering what was really going on. After an awkward moment of silence between the couple, he turned to Lara and said to her. “Honey, I think you should stay away from going through social media for now. I'm sure you'd be more pissed at the comments. I don't want you to get yourself walked up because of what happened today. And you know how people can reach a conclusion without knowing what was going on." “First thing tomorrow morning, I'll come over to your place to pick you up. We'll be going to Royal productions to find out what's going on." “And we could also go to Evergreen World corporation to ask them a few questions.”If it weren't for the media, the coup

Prince laughed at her for a while before replying to her. "Please, give me some credits. I was never begging you for money when we were married, was I?" “Being your P.A, I earned all the money you paid me because I worked for it. Moreover, you were the one who asked me to quit my job at the restaurant to work for you. It was not like I've ever begged you for money.”Prince sighed and continued. “Well, that's not the reason I called you at this time." “So why have you called me?" “I just wanted to check up on you. I needed to be sure that you haven't ended up in the hospital. I mean, with all the news about you guys in the media, someone in your shoes might end up in the hospital.”“Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. As you can see and hear, I'm hale and hearty and won't be ending up in the hospital anytime soon if that's what you're expecting." “If you've called to gloat, then think again because I'm not going to give you any reason to laugh at me." Lara angrily blurted out.“And

The receptionist could not swallow the physical abuse from Lara so she had to retaliate.With her hands balled into fists, Asha bit her lips and punched Lara really hard and the duo ended up fighting each other.Kyle just stood aside and watched the fight. He didn't even attempt to separate the girls.He believed that Asha, the receptionist deserved to be beaten up for calling Lara a crazy person.The fight lingered on and when Kyle saw that Lara was being defeated, he decided to separate them.“That's enough, Lara. Just leave her alone and save your reputation. I know that you can beat her. However, it's not worth it because you have a lot to lose." Kyle was trying to make Lara feel better with the words.He knew that if he left them to continue fighting, Lara would be severely dealt with by Asha.The receptionist looked fragile but was a lion in the fight.She almost tore Lara's hair apart if not for the timely intervention of Kyle.As he pulled his fiance out of the fight, Kyle loo

Kyle ignored her and started the car. When he drove out of Royal productions studio, he turned briefly to Lara and inquired.“Where are we going?" "We're going to the movie location in the woods. Maybe we'd have the chance to talk to Mr. Clark and hear what he has to say.”Mr. Clark is one of the assistant producers and they have worked together all this time.There were two assistant producers and the other one was not on set with them.Most of the crew members of Royal productions know their Boss personally. However, they've been asked not to say anything about him or post his pictures online.Lara gave him the address of the movie location and they drove off.While on their way, Kyle felt bad about what he had earlier said to her and decided to apologize.“Lara, umm. I'm sorry about how I spoke to you earlier. I should not have said all those things to you." “And, I should not have left you to fight with the receptionist, especially because you're pregnant. We can't afford to los

Prince could not help but laugh at her.For someone whose career was at the verge of collapsing, she sure has some nerves.Lara wants to put him off his job when hers was slipping away from her.Prince turned his face around and returned his gaze back to Lara before asking.“Are you talking to me?" “No, I'm talking to that tree over there." Lara pointed to a tall tree behind Prince but the latter did not budge.He only smiled, raised both of his shoulders up and replied nonchalantly. "Ok, keep talking to it then. I'm sure it'll give you a response soon.”Prince began to walk away but Lara hurriedly blocked his path again. “Are you making a fool of me? Tell me what you're doing here, Prince." Lara's interference was getting Prince pissed off but he chose to keep calm."Look, Prince. You have to leave this place at once. Like my fiance just told you, you're not allowed to work here.” Kyle added.Prince looked at the couple before him and smiled for a while before saying to them. “You

“I'm listening, Miss Norman. What do you have to say?” Mr. Clark jolted her out of her thoughts.With pursed lips, Lara sighed before she began to speak.“Mr. Clark. I'd like to know why Royal productions want to have nothing to do with us any longer. What wrong have we done?" She shook her head vigorously and continued. "I'm asking because I don't remember doing anything wrong to offend anyone. I'm good with everyone and try to mind my business which is to deliver my best on set.”“And the same goes with my fiance here." Mr. Clark was silent for a while. He stared at the couple for a while before sighing deeply.“I um.. I have no answers to your questions. The only person who can give you the answers you seek is the boss.”"You know that I'm just an assistant. I don't have much to say when the boss has spoken. I'm only his employee.”“Then set up a meeting with us and your Boss. We'd like to know what the problem is. What wrong have we done to him?” Lara replied and Kyle agreed wit

After a moment of silence, Kyle replied to her. “Let's leave this place at once. We'll go to my Manager's office and find out if he was able to get projects for us with the other movie producers.”“This is just a little setback in our lives and I'm sure we'll get past this stage." Lara nodded her head in agreement and Kyle started the car and drove off.Meanwhile, still in the woods, Prince was busy with his work as an errand guy at the movie location. He started that job because he knew that Lara and Kyle would show at the place to find out why they were cut off from Royal productions.While he was running around and making sure that things were going well, he noticed the way Avery and Molly were staring at him.Avery and Molly were still working with his production because he didn't have any reason to cut off all deals with them.It was right that they've flirted with him in the past when he was still married to Lara.Prince was Lara's personal assistant for some time. And while th

The couple exchanged glances and Lara turned back to him and replied. “Ok, since you already know the reason we're here. I'd like to know what happened.”“Why did you give us a deal and call it off almost immediately without any reason? Is it that you were not sure at first or you made a mistake?”“We didn't make any mistakes." The man replied in a serious tone and Lara could sense arrogance in his tone.What was that supposed to mean?“I don't understand. Were you guys joking with us or what? We're both big time celebrities and you shouldn't mess with us like that." Kyle's voice was already going high but Lara patted him on the laps, calming him down.The man, on the other hand, only stared at Kyle as the latter was raising his voice and bragging about their accomplishments.Well, that was not his problem. He was only following the orders given to him by his Boss.After Kyle was done talking, the man gave them an intense glare before sighing. “Actually, it's my boss who asked me to c

Prince caught up with them and blocked the way, stopping them from going into the car.He was there to gloat and they knew it.Kyle tried to force the door open, but Prince held tightly onto it, his eyes fixed on Kyle in a mocking smile.After a few seconds, he turned his gaze to look at Lara with a wicked smirk on his face.Furious, Lara glared back at him and was about to charge but Prince stopped her.“Oh, do you want to hit me? I dare you." He said and shot each of them a cold look.He left their car door and stared at his hands while saying casually. “I bet you guys have not heard about Karma." He shook his head a few times and continued. “Who would have thought that the great Lara Norman and Kyle Sherman would be discarded like trash. Wow! It's really unbelievable.”"If I wasn't present to witness the incident, I might not have believed it. How pathetic." “Get out of my sight now, Prince. I don't want to do something I'll regret." Lara fired at him with bloodshot eyes. She wa
