Huh? Britney prinked up at him. "Miss Britney is new here so she certainly wouldn't know how things work."Stephanie snapped. "She might do better than you."Quan lifted his shoulders. "I won't accept that."Stephanie shook her head. "A newcomer cannot just swoop in here then steal my glory. We are known world-wide. We can't afford to use an amateur that could tear everything apart. Just one single mistake from her could mess things up for us. We all know China doesn't accept any indecent dresses. What if she goes off to make them and ship them to their country?. We would be banned. Other countries would grow wary of us too and that could be the end of this group! Remember,every year,we report the highest sales from China. You know how much money we gon' lose?" "You're taking things too far,miss Stephanie. First,we always double - check on the goods we are exporting so erase your words of shipping of indecent clothes to China. It is each country with its own rules.
^° "Good morning,miss Sophie."Sophie's assistant strides into her office. Sophie nodded. She has became more reserved ever since Lucas threatened her into getting back with him. "Trying to get a call across to Mr Laquan in the past few days hasn't been easy. Why don't you try calling him, ma'am?. I'm afraid time is not our best friend and the least we would do is to waste the little one we have on something we are not yet sure about." The corners of Sophie's lips quirked up. Laquan. His name still sends her crazy,she wouldn't lie. She took a deep breath in and nodded at her assistant. "Sure,I will. You can go." "Alright, ma'am."she bowed and left. Sophie didn't realize when her mouth stretched into a smile. She picked up her phone and browsed through her contacts list. Does she even have his number? Of course,she could easily get access to his company's line but it would be night time in America by now so she might not be able to connect with him using that. She woul
Sanchez marched inside his penthouse and pulled off his shirt quickly then hit it on the couch. "Fvck!"he rasped. "Boss?,the programme didn't go as planned?"his assistant asked behind him. He turned back to shoot him lasers with his eyes. "You keep shut! You didn't manage to get a thing done! I host the event just to get embarrassed!!!"he screamed. The guy shrinked back. "Gggggg"Sanchez gritted his teeth. "This is how badly godfather want to disgrace me?. And, what?. He want me to get close to that loser?!!!"he yelled. He rushed up the stairs while fuming in anger. It only took a while for his guard to hear the sounds of something being thrown on the floor. Who is that Laquan that he managed to get his boss so exasperated?. .. Morning. .. Laquan woke up,as satisfied as ever. He took the bottle of water beside him and gulped some down. The scene of him slapping Sanchez in his face replayed in his head and he chuckled. He only have Jack to deal with now. And quiet favor
Laquan and Jack engaged in a staring competition. Oscar and Jack's assistant were busy having theirs too. Laquan placed a leg over the other and sipped out of his tea. The day was the next after the previous day. Jack wanted to meet and they decided to have a quick chat in a teashop. "I won't congratulate you."Jack uttered, finally breaking the serenity between them. Laquan's hand hitched a little. His right brow perked up,and he gently placed his cup on the table. "You're the type that doesn't accept defeat easily..I see."Quan replied with a long face. Jack scoffed ad threw his head to the side. "Oh,please,"he inhaled a breath and gazed back at Quan. "I don't recognize you as the champion which is why I won't congratulate you. You won this at the last minute. You won because of me."he enunciated. Quan entangled his finger with the handle of the cup and stirred his tea. "I don't comprehend."he muttered. "If I hadn't extended the deadline for the competition,you wouldn't h
Oscar's eyes perched up in confusion. He stared at his own hand and heaved out in relief when he saw that all he has was just a pen. "It's a pen. I must have took it out while trying to.." "A pen could be used to kill someone,you know?"Laquan folded his arms. "Just take a rest,boss."Oscar stated, calmly. Quan's phone rang beside him and on seeing who the caller was,he groaned. "Speak with her."He gave the phone to Oscar. Oscar collected it and accepted the call then put the phone on loud speaker. "Didn't you receive my message?. Why didn't you respond?."Sophie questioned. Oscar looked at Laquan. Laquan lifted his shoulders up and Oscar sighed. "This is his personal assistant. My boss is in a meeting now so he cannot take any call. You could say whatever you wanna tell him to me and I would relay your message to him." "How long will he be in the meeting?" "Uhmm.."Oscar's eyes trailed over to Laquan. "Three hours."he whispered. "He would be out after three hours."Oscar s
Later. .. "Boss,you called me."Oscar breathed out as he walked inside Quan's office,donned in a Janitor's uniform. Laquan scanned his dressing and chuckled. "I see we have a new janitor here. A good one."he teased. Oscar huffed. "I..have to go back and finish a couple of things. What do you need me for?" "Nothing. I was just wondering what you look like in your new uniform. Being a cleaner seems to befit you, Oscar, don't you think?" Oscar's eyes dulled and he panted out. "Since you do not need anything,boss,then I shall take my leave."he bowed politely. "Good-bye!"Laquan waved at him. "You're not even going to take pity on me?"Oscar scoffed. "You are diligent in your job. It will only make me a bad guy to snatch that job away from you."Laquan smirked. "I will go and come back soon." "No,no need. I will ring you up if I need your service so just go to your office straight when you're done with the cleaning." "I hear you,boss."Oscar pursed his lips together and move
"Are you sure it's safe to take those two in?"Teresa trailed her fingers on the wall as she moved to the window. She was one of the ladies present at the JML'S event. "Of course."the man at the other end intoned. "I don't see why you decided to take them in. It's pretty gut-wretching,sh!t"she scoffed. "We just need their money and that's all. That should be what Sanchez was thinking about too when he called them in." Teresa brushed her hair back and breathed out. "The scumbag doesn't even know we are only using him to rise to the top. Hahahaha! I guess having him around would sure help also. It would be damn thrilling to get things work out with Italy markets."she chuckled. The man sighed. "How do you plan to handle the other stuff?" "Oof!"she slapped her forehead. "Don't even get me started on that one. It's giving me an headache."she pulled the curtains apart. "You shouldn't have killed her then." "She got on my nerves too much that I hate it!"she gritted. "For now
Grandma?. Laquan's brows creased up. He stared back at the house before staring back at the man. "I don't have any."he uttered. The man lift an eye up. That was when Stephen's words struck Laquan's mind. He has two grandmas. One is dead and Stephen didn't reveal where the other was even though she is alive. So,this man standing before him is from his second grandmother?,Julia?. "Master?"the man called. Laquan snapped out of his unconsciousness and sighed. "Why...does she want to see me?"he demanded,slowly. If he could remember very well,they all abandoned him. Why does she want to see him now too?. "I am not going."Quan muttered before the man could give him a reply. "She is waiting for you, master. She has been waiting for you for years. Why don't you wanna see her?." "Did you just said years?"Quan scoffed. Unlike Stephen,she knew he was born? Arg! They are all driving him crazy. He decided not to assume again as that wasn't helping. "I will follow you."he de
