He dusts his black shirt before moving to the scene. His boys bowed to him. "Where is Laquan?. He's not got the balls to show his face?"Lucas uttered with sarcasm whilst staring at the car Quan was in. A chair was brought for him and he sat on it. Laquan clicked the door opened,took his right leg out, and popped his head out. "Looking for me?"he chortles. His boys came to guard the car. "Your boys were too weak so,they didn't command my attention."Quan smirks. Lucas perched his brows up and smiled, lopsidedly. "How about we have a duel between the two bosses?." "In a situation where I find fighting and intellectual merits as a solution,I always pick intellectual." Lucas let's out an outburst of laughter. "Well,what a good way, Laquan,to say you cannot fight." "A wise man should know how to make a wise decision. I see you're trying to get into the USA business market but you're facing difficulties. What if I can help you solve that?" Lucas's eyes flickered. "You sound
Dad?. Laquan scoffed. Did he heard that correctly?. The people around them broke into murmurs. 'For real?. Laquan is a father?' 'Oh my,they look so much alike. She is truly his daughter.' 'Oops,too bad. He is taken. That means I can't fawn over him anymore.' Oscar chuckled and cleared his throat before leaning closer to Quan, whispering some words in his right ear. "Congratulations,boss. I didn't know you're a father.Who is her mother?. Miss Britney?" Laquan smacked him on his mouth, making Oscar to step away from him. "Young girl,"Quan breathed out,scoured his eyes around the hall before staring back at her. "Who did you said your father was again?"he questioned. He was damn sure that he wasn't her father though. He has not been in any intimate relationship with a woman and he hasn't had anything to do with them also. Seeing a random girl claiming him as her father was surreal. "You're Laquan,no?"she squeezed her brows. "Speak with respect. If it is real that i am your
Flashback^^ .. A day before. .. The driver drove into the underground garage and Oscar rushed out to get the door for Quan. They ambled inside the building and took the elevator up to the sixth floor. Oscar opened the glassy door to Laquan's office and he got in. Quan settled on his resplendent seat while Oscar stood before him. "Boss,how do you intend to solve this issue?. Mr Mateo gave us till tomorrow to make things right." "I could just settle the tax payment to avoid an headache but,if there is anything I hate in this life,it is corruption. That man is probably trying to fill his stomach. Even if we pay him,he might still leave the record status as unpaid." "So,do I call our accountants over tomorrow's morning?" "Hm,no. Respect is reciprocal so technically,disrespect should be given back too. I will take care of him in a way that he would pray he hadn't mess with me."Laquan gritted. "I will speak with the head of IRS myself."he added. "Are you contemplating to get
"Should we head home now,boss?"Oscar questioned Laquan in the car after they came out of Racheal's place. Laquan hummed. The driver started the engine and started driving away,gently. "So,boss. Firstly,am I allowed to be inquisitive?" "You've never took permission before so why now?"Laquan scoffed. "Okay,then.What was your plan before we came here?. I remember asking you that question back in your office but you said it depends on that woman. Was making her your date your plan or what did you saw in her that prompted you to make such decision?" Laquan folds his arms. "We have three kind of couples. There is a one sided love. There is mutual love. And, there is business love which can be classified into two; Business love on the part of the woman, business love on the part of the man."Laquan explained. Oscar's eyes lits up. "Says someone who has never dated before?. I thought you used to be this shy guy before,boss. How come you know so much about love?"Oscar inquired.
^Snap Back To Present Time^^ .. Mateo's eyes grows out at Rachael standing beside Laquan. He downed the whole wine in his glass and gurgled it down his burning throat. He took his eyes to her again but she immediately looked away from him. He remembered calling her the other night and telling her to be his date to the party but.. He scoffed. He turned to Laquan who raised his brows at him. "We have your permission to go on with our relationship, don't we?"Quan triggered. Rachael looks up at him. That wasn't the agreement they had! "Why not?. Miss Racheal and I were just flirting with each other. There is no real relationship between us. Feel free to make her yours. I am happy she has found a trustworthy man like you."Mateo smiled, insincerely. His stomach was boiling up in rage. Rachel blinked rapidly before bowing her head in dolente. "Okay then. Fix a date for our marriage, Oscar. You are welcome at our wedding,Mr Mateo."Laquan pressed an hot iron on Mateo's wound.
Laquan chuckled before wiping his lips with his thumb. "You've changed, Britney."he murmured. "Miss Britney."she corrected with a little huff. "You've changed too. I didn't know you've turned to a woman - snatcher."she took the tip of the cup to her lips and drew a sip in. Laquan chortled and insert his hands in his pockets. "So, what are you into now?. You have a boyfriend?"he asks. Britney's eyes flips up at him in surprise. "Seriously?"she suppressed a chuckle. She was giving all her best to make it seem like his appearance wasn't swaying her mind. When she'd saw him,she wanted to run to him and say a big "Hi!" However, they've both decided to forget about the love they had for each other. In reference to his words,those are nothing but something that holds them down on the way to attain poverty - free life. It amuses her now that he is asking if she has a boyfriend,all of a sudden?. "Well, Mr Laquan,I now run an aesthetics company where all sorts of things that makes p
The cops walked to where Mateo was. The guests attention was drawn to that. Laquan heaved out a sigh. "You're under arrest,mr Mateo,for the falsification of taxes reports and for bribery and corruption. You have the right to get a legal practitioner and to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be use against you in the court of law."an handcuff was placed on his hands. Mateo looked over at Laquan with tomato eyes. "Wha.what is happening here?"Racheal stuttered, confused as ever. Mateo was taken out with Rachael scurrying behind them, whilst asking questions the cops weren't giving a reply to. She came back into the room and searched for Laquan. When she saw him,she shot him daggers before going to meet him. "You said everything was going to be fine as long as I pretend to be your girlfriend. Are you going against your words now, Mr Laquan?"she uttered, grumpily. "It seems a week in the cell would help reset your boyfriend's brain. I am not pushing him into prison but
"I'm afraid I don't get you,miss."Laquan batted his lashes. "Hm,I like men like you that plays hard to get. Besides,you were the one that expressed your love to me first. I will give you a chance."she beams. "What is she saying, Oscar?"Laquan glanced back at him. "Boss,I.. ... ^^ Flashback. .. Oscar staggered to where Georgina was and squirmed his lips, queasily. "Hii"he waved his hand, stagnantly. Georgina looked at him and her face contorted into a deep frown. "How may I help you?" Her words sent shivers down his spine. "I..am Oscar. And.." "Excuse me?"she declined her head to the side with a frown. Oscar glanced at Laquan ahead and breathed out. "See that man?"he pointed to his back. Georgina traced his finger and when it lands on Laquan,her brows quirks up at his awesome back. "He sent me here. He said he really admires you and would like it if you would agree to go on a date with him."Oscar's stomach burned as he lied. Georgina strained her eyes at Quan's back
