** ..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
"when it comes to richness, it could be said that you guys are running neck to neck. However, you are still awesome compared to him. He was brought up with a silver spoon and his parents has been investing in businesses in his name since his childhood." Laquan nodded and scrolled down the page again. "She has had twenty boyfriends before Lucas?! How chance is that?"he blurts out. "Miss Sophie is known as a playgirl,so, that is possible because she always break up with men after a month of courtship." "Good thing,boss,that you didn't accept her proposal. I'm glad you didn't let her beauty faze you" Laquan sighed, passing Oscar an angry stare. "She is not a shoulder close to Britney in terms of being beautiful." "I misspoke,boss. Apologies."Oscar swallowed hard. "Do you have anything on Lucas?" "Erm..there is nothing really interesting about him. Aside from Sophie,he is obsessed with work - just trying to expand his business circle, involving in everything that could pro
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
