"You know, I still can't understand what a beautiful lady like yourself is doing with someone like..." He paused and placed his hands on his waist in an akimbo. On his face was the most disgusted look ever, as he turned to Justin. ".... Him."Jolce inhaled softly, a lot going through her mind. What was going to make this man go away? He was saying a lot, but she didn't want to pay any mind to his words. But the truth was that she was beginning to feel embarrassed."I mean, look at yourself." He continued. "You are a very stunning woman, and that is what makes this unbelievable. You, most certainly do not look cheap. In fact, with the way you're dressed, I can tell that you're alright. But being with a rough looking man like him..." He scoffed with a mocking look in his eyes. "... Downplays everything and reduced you to his level. His cheap level. But since he is your choice, I guess...""Can you please leave?" Jolce cut in, unable to keep silent anymore. She looked at Justin for a mom
"Jolce." He said softly as he held her hand just before she could leave. As her eyes met his, he could see the cloud of embarrassment floating in them. Her eyes looked teary and for a moment, it made him feel remorse. "Please, don't go. I will fix this." He added.She hesitated for a moment since she was unsure of what to do. But one thing she was completely sure of was the feelings she had for him. She could not explain how or why she was so attracted to him, but she did know that she couldn't give it all up because of some random man. She took a deep breath and nodded."Alright." She sighed and sat back. Her eyes moved from Justin's face to Felix and she could see the surprise on his face. But she looked away from him and flashed a dry smile at Justin."Wow!" Felix exclaimed and shook his head. "You are unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. You really sat back?" He chuckled and wiped his face. To him, this all felt like a dream. Like a fictitious love story. "You are really going t
Just moments after Justin set his phone aside, the manager's phone beeped. "Stop trying to order anything, Mr. I already told you, they will not attend to you." He was still laughing when he heard the phone beep. He casually took out the phone from his pocket, the mocking smile still on his face. But as he stared at his phone, the smile gradually faded from his face. "Wait, what is this?" He looked up in shock. His squinted eyes and almost open mouth spoke all the volumes there was. Justin's eyes remained fixed to the table, paying no mind to the appalled man."Hey." Jolce whispered, trying to find out from Justin what exactly was happening. But he didn't say anything to her."No! No, no, no! What did you do, you...? Is this some sort of joke or something? What did you do?" He yelled. Again, Justin said nothing. He sat still like a statue. It felt comical that Felix was now squabbling about the termination letter he had sent, when he clearly ignored all his warnings. He did not feel
"No, you're not." He chuckled dryly. "Lorenzo Miguel is the owner of the restaurant chain. He is my boss. Not you." Felix sounded very protective, not of his boss, but of his position. He did not want to believe it even though he could see how confident Justin was as he spoke."Well, you can believe what you want, but I have told you the truth. You should leave now if you don't want to get thrown out of here."Jolce looked on with wide eyes. She was confused. All she kept asking herself was how Justin was the owner of the restaurant chain."But it can't be you. I know what I am talking about. Mr Lorenzo is the boss here. The only boss I know.""I am your new boss. If that isn't enough proof for you, then you can check the name on the email that was just sent to you. I guess that's all you need, right?"The frown on his face was deep. His eyes narrowed as he squinted, pulling his phone out of his pocket very quickly. Justin could almost hear himself laugh aloud, but he held it in. As h
"I didn't mean to laugh when he was laughing. I was just wondering how what you said was possible and that was what seemed funny. I'm really sorry for that.""Ummm... It's fine. You didn't know so...""I didn't have to know about it to not laugh. I already know you as a person, and I should have known that you never say what you do not mean. I am sorry, Justin.""Alright, alright. That's totally fine. I should apologise as well." He smiled dryly and leaned towards the table. "I shouldn't have kept you waiting. I was attending to something important and it really took my time. You are important, of course. That is why I rushed here immediately I was done.""That's okay." She smiled, almost blushing. Now she understood why he arrived late. "And about that Felix, he will never bother either of us again, especially you." He held her hand gently across the table. "So what would you like you to eat? What drink would you like to have?""Maybe some wine would do." She smiled. She was feeling
As they walked hand in hand towards his car, she couldn't help but feel a spark as Justin held her hand softly. Inside the car, he suggested that they should stop somewhere nice since she didn't want to go home."What's your definition of a nice place? We just left a restaurant," she replied."If you trust my judgment, then I would appreciate it if you allow me to show you what I mean by a nice place.""Okay."She fastened her seatbelt as Justin ignited the car engine and drove off towards a 7-star hotel in the city - the most expensive one. When they arrived, she couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder."Justin, this is incredible," she exclaimed, gazing up at the hotel's gleaming facade."Only the best for you," he whispered, his eyes giving assurances of promises.As they stepped out of the car and walked towards the lobby, they were greeted warmly by the staff and ushered in. The lobby was a marvel of luxury, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and plush seating are
Meeky Evans visited Diana and her family, who were still reeling from his scam. The atmosphere was tense, filled with a mix of anger and disappointment. Diana's father, Mr. Tucson, stood at the center of the living room, his face a mask of controlled rage."How could you do this to us, Meeky?" Mr. Tucson demanded, his voice firm but steady. "We thought you were our friend, our confidant."Meeky's expression was remorseful, his eyes downcast. "I know I let you down, sir. I'm truly sorry. I had nothing to do with the arrest, and I begged to get you released and keep your jobs."Diana's mother, her arms crossed in a defensive posture, spoke next. "We don't believe you, Meeky. You're just trying to save your own skin."Meeky's eyes locked onto Diana's, filled with sincerity. "Ma'am, I understand your skepticism, but I'm telling the truth. I have connections, and I used them to help you. Please, let me make it up to you."Diana felt a wave of conflicting emotions. She had trusted Meeky, an
Meeky followed Bruce outside, leaving Diana and her family to wonder what new developments were unfolding. The air was thick with anticipation, and there was total silence. As they walked away, Meeky couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had managed to manipulate both the Tucsons and Bruce, setting a plan in motion for his next move.Bruce, on the other hand, was consumed by thoughts of revenge. "Meeky, do you really think we can take down Justin?" he asked, his voice tinged with desperation.Meeky nodded confidently. "With the information you've given me, we can exploit his weaknesses. We'll hit him where it hurts."Bruce clenched his fists, a determined look in his eyes. "I want him to suffer for what he did to me."Meeky smiled, his mind already formulating a plan. "Trust me, Bruce. By the time we're done, Justin won't know what hit him."As they parted ways, Meeky couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He had Bruce's money and information, and now it was time
