A scoff escapes from Quan's mouth. Perfect candidate?. What the hell is going on there?. "In just a short time of your appearance in America, you've managed to shake the whole country up by becoming the most richest man,handsome and the most searched man on the internet. Your fabric company is quite causing a stir too. Somehow,she managed to know you're here in Italy and that you are in that club. You see,you made the job a lot easier. We were about to head out to find her prince charming when you came scrambling around like a chicken. For that,I must say, 'Molto grazie.'."he mouthed. Laquan chuckled lightly. "So,an engineer like you played the role of a matchmaker?" "Don't laugh yet."he shook his head. "That woman is pretty mean. I am not sure what she is up to myself."he adds. Laquan inhaled a sharp breath. He looked at the robot who shrugged. "Is he here?"a loud feminine voice asked. The loud thuds of her shoes filled the air. A strong smell of a strawberry scent
"You will?. May I know why the sudden change of heart?"her brows perched up at him. Laquan sat on the chair the man has previously sat on and placed his legs over another. "You don't have to know the process. The result is enough, isn't it?" She smirks and nodded, turning to look at him. "What would I be getting in return?" "You're going to get married to a wonderful woman,of course,something wonderful would be in for you." "First of all,how did you recognize me?"he asked the man. "I just did."he stood up clumsily while throwing daggers at Quan. "You recognized a man you haven't met before, more,he is dressed as a female at a go?."Quan peered his eyes at him. "You will understand soon."he snickers and staggered out of the cell. "Uninteresting topics apart. Let's talk about us. How is our marriage going to go?"she chimes. "Tell me in details what I would gain. After that,we would sign a contract to seal it up."he replies. "Wait,you don't trust me, husband?"she narrowed her g
.. Now dressed in a blue t-shirt and a pair of black trousers,Laquan looks more ethereal, emitting the right aura he should. "We will be home in five minutes,young boss."the man announced. He has been counting down ever since they entered the car. "I personally think he talks too much."Dora whispered to Laquan. He only nodded and stared out of the window. "No reply?"she sneered at him. "I personally think you care just too much about irrelevant things!"he huffs and she frowns. "In three minutes time,young boss."he announced again. Dora snorts,folds her arms on her chest and closed her eyes. Although,what he seems to be doing could be unnecessary but it actually helps Laquan to prepare his mind. He was going to meet his parents who he'd last seen when he was a kid. He is getting the heebie-jeebies but he was doing a perfect job to mask that. He pondered on about how to react,what he would say... Would he give them a hug? Would.. He sighed. Or, would he curse them out in
"Laquan."his mother called in a single breath. He eyeballed her for the last time before walking out of the door. What an ironic life it is. This woman was the one that spluttered hateful statements at him when he was little. Now,that he has grown up,his father is the one that tells that to him. "I know you're angry, but are you sure you're not going to regret this?"Dora asks behind him. "Living a life where you know your parents is alive but.." "Please,quit talking to me."Quan snapped. Dora heaved out. Geez. And,to think that she has been anticipating for a plate of pasta that she had perceived. "Young master,wait. I will tak–" Laquan raised a finger up at him and the man shuts up. He strides to the gate and walked out, slamming the gate closed loudly. Dora huffed before running out of the house then after him. They trekked to the road before taking a cab home. They both got down from the car and made to move inside. "You have to pay for your transport fare!"the lanky
** ..The Next Day. .. Dora was issued a search warrant to the club by the court. As she barged in there with her men, luckily, they caught them red - handedly. Ramirez and the agents and all other workers were arrested and taken to the police precinct. .. "When are you leaving?"Stephen asked as he walked into the dining area where Laquan was seated, eating breakfast. "By evening,maybe."Quan replied. "Why not leave tomorrow?. There is someone I would like you to meet."Stephen dissuaded. "Who?"Laquan carried the glass of water and gulped it down. "It's a surprise."Stephen winks at him. "It had better worth sacrificing my time for it." Dora came inside the room and Quan's brows furrowed up at her. "Thought you went to arrest the bad guys?" "Well,yes."she stalked to the fridge at the corner of the room and brought out a box of orange juice. "So, what are you doing here?. Shouldn't you be interrogating them right now?"he tilts his head to the side. Stephen moved out of the
Laquan puckered his lips before releasing it in a scoff. Sophie focused on him,grinning from ear to ear. He chuckled,awkwardly. "I'm sure that came out wrong."he mumbled. "No. It didn't. I am proposing marriage to you right now, Laquan."she dipped her hand in her designer bag that was placed on her thighs and brought out a small box. She smiled at him before popping it opened. A sparkling diamond ring appears. "I will be your wife,and thou would be my husband. Do you agree to be bond with me in–" "Miss Sophie,"Laquan called and looked up at her. He finds it funny that a woman could do this to a man,not even one she is in love with. Is that really possible? Well,it is,since one is proposing to him right there. "Huh?. You don't like my proposal words?."she blinked her thick lashes cutely. "I--" "When I first saw you on the internet,I thought to myself that you're pretty cool. I like everything about you. That moment,I found myself amidst butterflies. The once darked lif
Laquan strides out of the restaurant and Oscar went to him immediately. "Boss."he greeted. Laquan hummed and moved to the car. "Where is grandboss?. Are we waiting for him or..?"Oscar trailed off behind him as he hopped inside the car. "We will await his return."Quan answered before shutting the car's door. About fifteen minutes after, Stephen came inside the car and they drove out of the place. They got back to Alessandro's mansion. "Should I be congratulating the lastest to - be groom?"Alessandro asked as both Stephen and Laquan ambled inside the living room. "You should be talking some sense into this young boy instead. He rejected the marriage!"Stephen grouched before occupying the couch. Alessandro chortles and rubbed his eyes. "You said you don't want your son to make the mistake you made. The mistake you made was marrying because of what was in for you. So, technically,the fruit of that marriage didn't mean anything to you and that made it easy for you to leave him."S
The room plunked into tranquility. The people's eyes brows were lifted up in shock. What Alessandro just declared was dumbfounding. Laquan's brows creased up a little and a scoff gently slides out of his mouth. Teodora remained expressionless. However,all these were only for some moments. The silent atmosphere was broken when one of the men pop up a question. "How did you found out that they are siblings?. From what I can remember,you and Stephen have been pals for a very long time. How come you didn't know that your granddaughter and grandson are blood related?" "I only got to meet Laquan a week ago. I didn't know I had a grandsom."Stephen interfered. The men engaged in side talks before one of them voice out their worries. "If you indeed did got to know about him a week ago,how chance is it that both him and her met,dated then got married?" Stephen's eyes twitched while Alessandro took a sharp breath in. The men peered their eyes on them. Laquan cleared his th
