It was the next day, and Hazel had already dressed Ivy up for school. She knew Samuel would be calling her soon since she told him she would be busy today. Marcus was going to drop Ivy off at school while Hazel waited for Samuel's call. Marcus wasn't happy. Something tells him they have different motives. He prays he's wrong.“Be careful when you get there. If you suspect anything, just call me.” Hazel nods; she knows Marcus is worried.“Don't worry about that; nothing will happen.” Marcus wasn't having any of that; he just want his wife to be safe, so he's not going too far. If Hazel had allowed him, he would have pretended to be her driver so he could come with her and keep an eye on her, but she would not agree.“Just be vigilant; that's all I want.” Hazel nods again.“Okay, I have heard you, my chief security officer.” Marcus just smiled as he walked closer to Hazel and kissed her forehead. Hazel's cheek raised, Marcus is becoming too romantic these days; she hopes she can cont
Hazel was surprised a little, hearing what Samuel just said. She thought he was responsible for the project, not knowing his father had the final say. She has no other choice but to go see him. She is confident of getting the contracts.“Okay, if that is the procedure, I'm fine with it.” Samuel smiled inside himself. He knows she can't decline; the plan was carefully put in place, and she is playing into it. It's just a matter of time before he gets what he wants.“Okay, since you're ready, let me take you to him, but don't worry, I will put in good words on your behalf, and trust me, you're getting the contract.” He pointed at the packing space.“My car is packed over there; let's go, so I can drive you there.” Hazel shakes her head.“I'm sorry, I came with a cab, and he's still waiting for me.” Samuel's eyes pushed up a little. He thought Hazel had a car of her own, not knowing she used a cab. What a shame, but she should not be worried. She will be a car owner soon, but for now
Hazel didn't say anything, though the cars caught her eyes. She knows Samuel's future wife will be a lucky woman if his father is willing to give out such an expensive car to his future daughter-in-law. He must be so desperate for Samuel to get married. He must be so desperate to see his grandson. She knows when Marcus finally settles down again, he will buy her a car. She has nothing to worry about. All of these are not her concerns anyway. Samuel gazed at Hazel a little. He was surprised she didn't look moved and showed interest in what the guys just said. Could it be she is still pretending, or she is not interested in it? However, something tells him she is just pretending. No woman in her right sense will turn down this because of a useless man she can't brag about. He doesn't have to be worried; his father will take care of the rest inside.“It seems you like one of the cars.” Hazel nods.“They are beautiful.” Samuel adjusted his wristwatch a little as he spoke.“If I decide
Hazel's eyes widen immediately. Why would Samuel's Father want to give her a condition before he gives her the contract? So many thoughts were running through her head. She just didn't know what condition Samuel's Father wanted from her before giving her the contract, but whatever it was she will try her best to get it done. She utters. “Sir, what is your condition?” Samuel could not help but smile. Things are playing out smoothly, just as he expected. He never expected anything less from his father; he was the one who planned everything he could see his going to succeed, and Hazel was fully buying into it. She cannot decline this; she belongs to him. Sir Gregory smiled a little. He could see Hazel was anxious. She wants to hear what he's going to say, but she should not worried it's for her own benefit. At that moment, he utters: “Come with the gifts.” Hazel gazed around, but no other person was with them. Why will Samuel's father order for gift, who is he giving it to? it must
Hazel was shocked. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. She thought they wanted to give just one of these gifts to the lady, not knowing all of them would be given to her.However, she wonders why Samuel's father says he wonders who the lady would be. Could it be he doesn't know the lady, and yet he buys all of these gifts worth over 100 million dollars for her? What is he thinking, for him to be doing all of these, shows the lady is from a top-class family just like them. However, it seems none of these is her business. He should tell her the conditions to get the contract. Samuel just smiled. The look on Hazel's face tells him she can't say no to all of these; they are eye-catching, and no lady in her right senses will say no to them. Hazel is a smart one; she is going to accept when he pops the question soon, but for now, he needs to relax and wait for his father's orders. Sir Gregory just smiles. He knows all these gifts are just a little token compared to what they wi
Samuel just smiles; he knows Hazel will not reject him, not when all of these are at stake, he knows she is just pretending. Hazel turned back and faced Sir Gregory. She couldn't believe what he just said. They can't buy her over just because of all these gifts. No wonder they were listening to everything the box contained at a time. They want her to feel jealous, but they can't.“With all due respect, sir, you can't buy me over with any of these. I'm not that kind of lady, and your son can go look for someone else.” Sir Gregory, just shakes his head. Something must be wrong with Hazel; he's sure of that, he utters.“I will just pretend I didn't hear what you just said, and I'm giving you one last opportunity to be a member of our family. Just accept my son's proposal, and we will take it from there. You know your husband can't take care of you, but my son is everything every lady needs.” Hazel's eyes squinted, she would not stand and listen to these people insulting her husband;
He immediately picked up the phone call. He was anxious to hear what scary face had to say.“Hello, have you gotten the real identity of the man?” His voice was shaking. Scary face shook his head, and his voice was low as he uttered.“Mr. Mason, for so many years I have been doing this job of mine, I have never come across this kind of situation before where I will be looking for a particular person and I have not gotten who the person truly is. I even went as far as to contact another partner of mine to look into the identity of the person, but he also came back with the same answer: he had no idea about the true identity of the person. I even went as far as to research if truly Crown High School has been sold, and according to what I gathered, the school has been sold, but the true identity of the man who bought the school is still nowhere to be found. Is he a ghost or what?” Mason's eyes squinted immediately, he couldn't understand what scary face was saying—is this some kind o
Kelly was surprised by Mason's voice; he sounded like someone in distress.“Mason, What is the problem is everything alright? Why are you sounding this way?”Mason nods multiple times.“Everything is not alright; I'm in big trouble. I need your help as quickly as possible.”Kelly was curious to hear what Mason had to say.“What is the problem? You know what I'm capable of; if it's within my power, I will help you.”Mason hurriedly responded.“You can help me on this. I need the real identity of the bastard that recently bought Crown High School, the useless amateur I gave the job disappointed me. Time is no longer on my side. Please help me out.”Kelly looked surprised; he thought it was something else, not knowing it was something this little.“You shouldn't worry about that. I thought it was something so serious, not this piece of cake. I will get the identity for you? and call you back.”Mason's face brightened a little. He would not get ahead of himself until he knows the real ide
