"You are welcome to join me if you want to know more," Levi teased a fuming Brooke from a little crack at the walk-in closet.She threw a piece of clothing in his way. "It isn't fair. Why don't you tell me things about you? Like how you have a sister I never knew about.""I only just found out about her. Besides, you don't tell me things about you either.""You..." Brooklyn was exasperated. "That's it. I'm leaving without you.""Simple... Then we both miss the flight," Levi gave her a cheeky smile and turned away."Levi!"_____________The Continental Times was practically bustling with energy and activity as employees walked by, each one dealing with his affairs.Not even daring to gather up and gossip as usual as they were all aware the big boss was on the top floor.They were all itching to know what the purpose of his presence was and why he came today again.Besides, the female employees wanted to steal more glimpse at their handsome big boss.Meanwhile, on the top floor, Levi wa
As two black Rolls-Royce sped on the highway, a jeep accompanied with some bikes tailed them. At first, it wasn't obvious but some observant people in the luxurious vehicles soon noticed."Young master."Levi tapped his fingers on the leather cushion. His eyes closed with the other palm on his face while he waited for James to come through the mini speaker in the car again."It seems like we are being followed."Tap!Levi's fingers tapped on the cushion one more time and stopped abruptly."I noticed."Before laying back, he had seen a glimpse of the jeep and the bikes some distance away from them. He had his suspicions but he wasn't too sure.Now that James mentioned it, it cleared his doubts. His closed eyes hid away his cold expression as he spat out,"Let's split. When you get them, don't let them go. You must find out who sent them."'I don't necessarily just strike against anyone but if you seek my animosity, you will get it!' he thought."Got it. We'll distract them. The chauffe
The chauffeur managed to stop the car before it hit a pole but there was still a small collision causing the ones behind to jolt forward.Thankfully, their seat belts were on which avoided them being thrown off their seats."Young master, I already called for backup. James caught up with the other group," The guard whispered as he reached out to undo Levi's seat belt before opening the door.It wasn't advisable for them to remain in the car as these goons could do anything."Young master, you should stay here. I can handle them," he informed Levi as they crept out.The chauffeur and Levi crouched by one side of the car while the chauffeur charged out to attack the goons.Levi peeked out and saw that there were about six to seven masked goons fighting against the guard. Although he was well trained, he could easily be overpowered.Bang!The chauffeur covered his ears in fear as a bullet hit the car they were hiding behind."That's it," Levi gritted his teeth and stepped out. One of the
"Oh mon Dieu, il est tellement beau!""Il a l'air du même âge que mon mari mais a réussi à rester en forme.""Prenons une photo de lui. Ça durera plus longtemps."Levi frowned as his eyes opened at these not particularly hushed whispers. He turned around just in time to hear the low shutter of a phone camera.His sleep-filled eyes squinted at the young, beautiful French ladies sitting some chairs away from him.One hurriedly hid her phone when he turned around and he could hear her tell her friends, "Et je prie pour que nous soyons assis dans les mêmes sièges."His frown deepened. He understood the first three sentences they whispered while he was still asleep."Oh my God, he is so handsome!""He looks the same age as my husband but has managed to stay in shape."Then one of them suggested, "Let's take a picture of him. It will last longer."That was when he turned around and now one was even saying, "I pray we are seated in the same seats."Were they referring to him? Aren't they ma
Camille's mouth hung open like that of a fish. She tried to comprehend his words and her mouth flipped close and open countlessly but she still couldn't get the right words.Levi wasn't bothered about this as he brought out a sleep mask and prepared to sleep.Although he wasn't particularly sleepy, he wanted to avoid unnecessary conversations with Camille.Who knew the latter's eyes would suddenly dart to his fingers? Besides the antique ring on one of his fingers, there was no ring on his ring finger."Ha! I knew you had to be the most jovial person I've ever met. Who goes about saying they are married without having a wedding band?""If there was even a fair stripe around your finger, I would have thought perhaps you just took it off but there is nothing of such. Which means you have never worn one before."Then she leaned over and flickered her eyes seductively. "Mr, I'm only asking for your number. I haven't even made my move yet."Levi frowned and moved away in disgust. He didn't
Somewhere in that particular space, a chauffeur was looking high and lows for someone. Then his phone rang and his brows contracted as he answered the call."Hello, is my husband there with you? He should have arrived now," Brooklyn was sitting on a king-sized bed in a robe, appearing like she had just gotten out of the shower.She was holding up the phone in one hand and a file in the other. She was startled when the chauffeur replied,"No missus, I haven't seen anyone and it's getting past the time I was hired for. If I still don't see anyone in the next ten minutes, I'm sorry I'll have to leave."Brooklyn dropped the file and her eyes squinted. But she still spoke with the chauffeur politely, "I apologize. If you don't see anyone in the next five minutes, you can leave. Sorry for wasting your time."The chauffeur was surprised at her humble tone and words. Most rich people he encountered were usually bratty, arrogant and impatient.Besides they would just demand a refund for a serv
They had just finished setting up the table when the old man from the frame earlier was led down the stairs by a young man who looked slightly older than Levi.This wasn't what caught the latter's attention. It was the striking resemblance between him and the young man.If it wasn't because of his gray eyes, Levi would have thought they were brothers."Lincoln, look, your younger brother is home. He even helped me prepare dinner," Leo's mother called out enthusiastically."I can see that," Lincoln barely gave Levi a glance before leading their grandfather to a seat.Levi quickly deduced that the Leo in question probably doesn't get along with his brother."Are you certain this brat isn't plotting to kill me because of the last time?"These words caused Levi's attention to drift to the grandfather. Leo also obviously doesn't get along with his grandfather.'Then who else does Leo get along with besides his mother and the chauffeur?' he mused thoughtfully as he took a seat and didn't res
"Our chauffeur might have made a mistake. I agree but you had every chance to tell him he was mistaken so I do not believe at all this meeting wasn't planned, mister!" Lincoln's voice was fierce."Since you said you only just arrived in the country, you may not know but we have the power to make you rot here and never return to your people until you tell us who you are and what your purpose is.""Lincoln—""Marie!" The old man tapped his walking stick on the table. "Leave this room this instant. This conversation isn't suitable for you.""But," Marie looked at Levi. She didn't know why but she felt that although this man had done something bad by impersonating her son, she saw the good in him there.If only he was indeed her Leo, how wonderful would that be. Then she wouldn't have to constantly worry over a prodigal son somewhere."Mum," Leo wasn't pleased at the look of hesitation in his mother's eyes. He glared at Levi. What has this man done to his mother?"Marie, I won't be repeat
