After much trials by the Chief of Police to be more patronizing to Justin, the new heir and his assistant, refusing his kind gestures, not just out of modesty, but out of the fact if the rogue officers had harmed him by any means seriously, he couldn't have no problem fixing things by his own means, the old police officer with the funny moustache finally decided to give up and go.He threw one last salute to Justin and drove his way back to the station where he had come from. As he did that, the crowd almost as if they could not hold it anymore, began cheering for Justin with so much excitement."It seems you have now become a hero to these people," Mark joked, smiling calmly, but still by every means looking as business minded as he had always been. He looked almost like he was about to whisper into Justin's ears to tell him that there still had a lot of things in their schedule to take care of. "By no mistake," a voice began, "You are the Drogonuv's heir right? Justin Drogonuv."
As always, Justin had fewer words to say than whoever he was talking to. He kept staring at the card. Mark seemed to be itching to get the card in his hand and finally inspect it. It seemed awfully familiar to him, but he was not able to have a close look at it for some reason."An underground man huh?" Justin reworded. "I would really like to know what that is, but thanks anyway. I will think of you when I have problems in the "underground" to worry about."The man let out a chuckle. Once again, it seemed like he was coughing. A very dry could. If not for his social skills, Mark felt a bit inclined to ask the man if he had some sort of illness, but he caved back and refused to say a thing if Justin was not going to comment on it."Sure, I will be expecting you to." They shook hands again before he walked away from them, with his wife who had also started to look less drab than she had been looking before. Soon they disappeared into the crowd, as if they had not been just standing t
At a cafe with a huge Ice cream cone hanging on its roof as its logo, a car drove into the arena. Out of the car came Lilly and Diana. The both of them wore worried expressions on their faces."Is this the place?" Lilly asked."Yes it is," confirmed Diana. "Why are you even asking? Everybody who is anybody knows where Icy Crust is."Lilly rolled her eyes at her younger sister. "Well I am sorry that I don't go out as much as you do. I'm an introvert remember?" "Sure, sure," Diana said sarcastically, it did not seem like she heard anything her sister had told her."Well enough of that," said Lilly. "Remember what we actually came here for. We still have no idea where mom and dad is. And we are supposed to meet Meeky here. Why is he so late?""That's sad. I wonder where they could be." Diana was walking into the cafe at this time. "Well, let's just hope for the best and wait for Meeky. He must have some good news. But while we are waiting, can we just go inside and get ourselves somethi
"He's on his way here." Diana announced, placing her phone on the table. "Do you like it? Is it nice?""Huh?" Lilly looked up with her mouth full. "You know, he can be really annoying. First, he wasn't picking up when you called this morning. And now, he's keeping us waiting here. It almost feels like he doesn't understand what is going on.""Calm down, Lilly. He'll be here soon. He told me that himself, okay?" She sighed heavily as she leaned against the table. "I know this is frustrating. I am also worried about them. But, don't take out your frustration on Meeky. He is going to help us and I know it.""Okay, okay." Lilly shook her head, stuffing the last piece of the pie in to her mouth. "Are you okay with that? Don't worry, I'll ask the waiter to bring another one. Eat up so you will have the strength you need." Lilly smiled widely as her sister spoke. "Waiter." Diana called, snapping her finger in the air."Yes, Ma'am." The waiter appeared within seconds, with his usual homely
Mark pushed open the door and ushered Justin in. He walked straight to the counter to make his order while Mark waited. He looked around the place, obviously looking for a table they could sit on, and that was when he saw them. The same ladies who had asked the cops to beat Justin up. One of them was speaking to the other in a very subtle voice. He concluded to himself that nobody would ever believe that those ladies weren't as nice as they looked."Will you take anything?" Justin asked calmly, immediately interrupting his thoughts.“Oh, me?" He asked, almost confused. "Yes, yes. Coffee would be alright." "Okay." Justin shook his head and turned to place the order. "Alright, let's get ourselves some seats. Our orders will be brought to us.""Okay. Thank you, sir." He smiled dryly. Justin looked at him for a moment, unable to understand his sudden change in behaviour. He concluded that Mark was just tired from the day's work. So he turned to find a place to seat, and that was when he
Justin's eyes moved down to his plate. He was quiet for some minutes, as he drew imaginary circles on his plate with his fork. He looked up with a blank face and still did not say a word. Mark took a deep breath, wondering if he should go on with the topic or not. Justin was quiet and seemed quite offended but Mark knew he had to deliver his message."He asks about you every time I see him. He's always asking how you are and when you are going to visit him. And every time, I do not know what to tell him. He seems really worried about...""That's enough, Mark. I don't want to hear what he talks to you about, especially if it is about me. If it isn't about work, about any of the companies, then I do not want it. After all, I can manage the businesses on my own." Justin stopped talking and focused on his meal. Mark breathed in and took his phone out, trying to distract himself from the forbidden topic. It was evident that Justin was not interested in any thing that had to do with his dad
"I thought you said that he would be here soon. It's been more than thirty minutes now. Where is he?" Lilly asked angrily, pulling her phone from her pocket."I don't know." Diana replied in frustration. "I wonder why he is not here yet. Let me call him first." Her phone was already on the table so she picked it up and called him."Please do. We've been waiting here for more than an hour, if I am not mistaken. What the hell is this? He promised to help us reach mom and dad, and he's taking so long to arrive. Why?"Diana, seated on the other side of the table, couldn't even reply. Her brows furrowed into a frown as she called again, and again. Meeky wasn't answering the phone."What is it?" Lilly asked, seeing the change in her sister's countenance. Diana sighed as she moved the phone away from ear and dialled the number again."He isn't picking up. I can't reach him." Diana said angrily, still trying to call."But the phone is ringing? Wait, I'll call him instead.""His line isn't goi
Justin saw her but looked away at once. His whole focus on the plate in front of him. Diana was even more surprised than her sister was. Justin looked just as he did when they had seen him with the policemen earlier. She couldn't wrap her head around why what she asked wasn't done. She stared in disbelief for a moment before she finally found the words to speak."Justin and his strange follower? What are you guys doing here?" She asked with the most irritated face ever."What is the meaning of this, you jerk? Why are you everywhere? Are you following us?" She gasped in disbelief, placing her palms against the table."Oh my world! He is stalking us." Diana concluded."Will you two shut your traps and get out of here already?" Mark answered before Justin could say anything. He felt a surge of anger taken over him every time these two came around to insult Justin. "Can't you see that we are having our lunch here? And why the hell would we even follow you?""I'm not speaking to you, Mr Pu
