Despite the fears of the uncertain still swirling up within her, Leanne felt much more relieved knowing that Bruce had connections that could get back her business for her. Bruce himself did not relent in his trials to make her feel comfortable. He was, himself, proud that he was able to get a seat in the Drogonuv's empire. How powerful, how lucky could he be, he said conceitedly to himself in his thoughts."Alright, shall we? If you are not so weak in your legs anymore. This should be a good time to move on to the Drogonuv's headquarters." Bruce stood up, leading the way to the doors in a gentlemanly manner."You are such a resourceful man," Leanne said, grinning from ear to ear. "Lilly must be a lucky girl to have you in her arms anytime she so desires. What a lucky woman she is. Any woman must be lucky to have you. I am jealous."This statement caused even more for Bruce to feel swollen in his head. He felt like he was in cloud nine to be praised by Leanne, who was generally mos
Lilly looked outside a window of their house. Her eyes were desperately searching for something. She bit her lips and held tightly to her phone. Her eyes were troubled."Where could you be?" She sighed hopelessly. "Don't you think you need to chill?" Diana said, from a corner where she sat down with her head pressed backwards on to the arm of a couch. She was playing with her phone, not bothered enough by her sister to turn her head towards her direction."What do you mean by that?" Lilly asked, shocked and perhaps even buzzing with rage for her sister to have said those words to her in as inconsiderate a manner as that. "I have been calling him for two days and his phone has been off for most of the time. And you think that I need to chill?"Diana got up and sat in a straight forward manner. "Well, I am only telling you that you need to chill. And you might be worrying too much. Who knows? He might really actually be somewhere having the time of his life. Or drowned in work.""Why y
"Hip hip hurrah for Dad," Diana cheered and the rest followed, including Meeky Evans."Goodluck, Dad," Lilly added.Right then, Mrs. Tucson stepped outside as well. She seemed to had overheard the conversation going on outside, and wanted to come join her husband off to where he was heading to. Immediately her eyes fell across Meeky Evans whom she remembered had said something about having connections at the inside of the Drogonuv empire."Meeky," she began in a considerably high-pitched tone of voice. "You told us you had some connections at Drogonuv, right?"Meeky immediately froze up, even with Diana all over him at that point. "Well, yes I did say that. Yes. My father is one of them. He has a lot of connections in Drogonuv's empire." Meeky was uncertain about her motives for the question, but he answered regardless."Then, please... Why have you not talked to him about this?" She asked, her tone of voice was not the only thing begging. Her eyes did the same. "Please, before I and
Meeky did not feel particularly good about letting the Tucson's down. In his mind, he had infact made himself look smaller in their eyes. But irrespective of everything Meeky stood for, he still couldn't afford them seeing him that way. He had to do something. Before Mr and Mrs. Tucson could leave, he made sure to laugh in a very hearty manner, drawing their attention towards him. Being the usual con artist that he was, he said, "Don't worry, I was just joking. My father has cleared the way for you. You can now go to the Drogonuv's headquarters."The Tucson's all had big grins on their faces. "You almost had me, boy." Mr. Tucson laughed. "Why do you have to be this much of a trickster? You almost gave me a heart attack, but now look at me laughing. You really are a funny bone, this one."Diana hugged Meeky even more, as if trying as much as possible to get into the same clothes as him. "I told you all that he could be reliable, see? This is why I love you so much, Meeky.""And I lov
Justin could not imagine just how oblivious of the truth they were. And how they were so blinded by their hatred and prejudice for him that they could not help but think that he had to have snuck inside the headquarters to actually be there. This was how much they believed that he was really nothing but a rat. A poor street rat that had once been picked out of the streets by their daughter."Hmph." He smirked, ignoring their taunts and walking away towards the elevator. He was just a few steps away from going into the elevator when he felt himself being pulled back. He was immediately struck shocked.He could immediately smell the fragrance of a very fancy perfume perforate all over his body. He turned back and saw that it was none other than the old couple pulling him from going, all their hands on deck."Hey! What is this?" He said in what one could only but say to be a deep feeling of annoyance. He could have clobbered them immediately, but with a raise from his hand, he immediatel
Justin took a long breath as he stared down at them shortly. Both their eyes stared back at him with the most anger, yet determined face ever. He groaned softly, feeling almost frustrated. He then wiggled quickly, trying to shake them off. But they still held him tightly."Wow! For an old couple, you sure have really good grip." He said under his breath, looking away from their faces."What did you say?" Mrs Tucson pitched in, her voice reeking with annoyance. She had seen his lips move, but wasn't able to hear not even a word that he said. Whether it was due to their age, or that his voice was truly inaudible, Justin didn't know. But it sure made him want to laugh, yet he held back. The struggles of holding back laughter was drawn all over his face and it only got his ex in-laws extremely angry. "What is so funny, you creep?" She asked again, her voice was shaking like she was about to cry."Are you laughing at us?" Mr Tucson eyebrows furrowed as he too, met the look on Justin's face
"Are you serious?" The receptionist asked in surprise. She knew very well who Justin was, but could not imagine what may have given them such view of him."Yes, I am serious. Do you see me laughing? It's a good thing we stopped him before he could go in there." Mrs Tucson answered angrily. She can't be that dumb, she thought to herself as she looked at the receptionist. But then, she remembered that her husband disliked dumb people, and she lightened up. It was really a win for her. "If you don't call the police, then I'll have to." She said, then turned to her husband. "Right, dear?""Yes, yes. We'll call the police." He nodded in agreement. "This wretched thing should be thrown out of here. He should be punished, so he never does something like this again.""You all should be careful here. You can't just let anybody in, especially this poor rat. You know that the boss wouldn't be happy if any of his items were stolen.""That's right. Mr Nelson would be so annoyed if a little thief w
"Of course, I will." The receptionist smiled widely as she wondered what would happen. "Please, take your seats right over there. Thank you once again." "You're welcome, miss. We are glad we could be of help. The truth is that there is absolutely no way we would let the boss be robbed. We both know that he doesn't deserve that. And we will always be glad to help.""Yes. My husband is right. Our loyalty lies with the boss and nothing will ever change it. That poor thief will get what he deserves. He's being taken to the police station, right?" Mrs Tucson asked."Yes. That is exactly where he is going. You don't have to worry about him anymore." The receptionist smiled and nodded at them. "I really can't say how grateful I am for your help.""It's nothing, child. We would do it any day and any time. Just don't forget to tell the boss about it. He would be so glad if he knew." "Of course. In fact, I will do that right now. Please settle down and wait." With that, she walked back to her
