Marcus had been trying to explain to Dave about some things he had gone through since they had last parted. “Did you know all the clothes I had when we were still in school are still the clothes I wear now?” Marcus laughed. “I thought you already had them way before we got to school?” Dave asked. Marcus sighed. Tables had turned. Now he did not have to live the same way he had been living for the longest time. “Yeah. Still the same clothes. Most have faded and look really plain now too.” “I think I blame myself too,” Marcus continued. “If I had made money earlier and was able to fend for Chantelle, maybe this situation would not have happened,” he said and sighed. “Maybe. That's the important thing to take note of what you just said.” “What if you still had the money and she still went on to do what she is doing now?” Dave asked. “Anyways, that is in the past.” “Will you advise me on what to get here, and do you think I need to go out and b
Lionel had attended the same school with Richard. They had been friends for the longest time. Unlike Dave and Marcus, they still saw themselves often. So when Lionel had heard rumors of his friend, chasing after a married woman, he asked him about it. Richard had explained to him, in a way he almost found unacceptable. Right from their school days, they had been part of a group of playboys, where all of them were notorious. They all basically used and dumped women. So when Richard was talking about Chantelle and he saw the way he was talking, he was surprised. Richard had explained everything about Chantelle to Lionel. Everything! Even down to the smallest details. Lionel of course had seen people that were in love. What he was seeing from Richard was exactly the same. This shocked him, because Richard was the last person he would have suspected ‘love’ would happen to. This experience had served to open up Lionel's eyes a little. So, on another
Lionel and Richard had gone to the same university. The most popular and highest rated university in the country. They had been friends way before they had gotten to the school. Even though the school was a school for really rich and influential people. Children of the rich basically, there was still a difference. There was the one percent of the one percent. Richard and Lionel were part of this percentage of the students at the school. Their parents were really rich. Extremely rich in fact. Lionel and Richard were part of a group of guys in the school. In fact they were part of the pioneers of the group. The name of the group was called ‘Empire’. It was a group of only boys in the boys and girls school. They were a popular group in the school. In fact, they were the most popular group. Everyone in the group was accorded the highest level of respect. ‘Empire’ was not an easy group to enter, and seeing the level of respect given to the member
So, on the day Richard and Chantelle had their first dinner together, the day Marcus waited for her to get back home to open the door of the house, was also the first time Cecelia and Lionel had dinner. Lionel was pleasantly surprised, and so was Cecelia during the dinner date. They both enjoyed themselves. From the dinner to the present, they had seen each other a few more times. Cecelia started having feelings for Lionel at a point. It was obvious to her that Lionel liked her. He liked her a lot. However, Cecelia was still doubtful. She remembered when her sister, Chantelle was engaged to Marcus. She remembered how in love Chantelle was. The love was almost intoxicating. When Chantelle brought Marcus into their parents home, she understood right away why Chantelle loved him. Marcus was a really handsome man. Tall and well built. The only problem he had was that he was not rich. However, it was still an impossible thing for Chantelle to convince her pa
“I'm very sure you just got a job here as a lowly worker because you were fired from your previous job,” Cecelia said. “You were not able to take care of my sister, your wife before. How are you going to be able to do that with the instability in your life now?” Marcus just kept on looking at Cecelia. Huncho and Stephen already asked him if he wanted them to deal with the woman ‘constituting a nuisance’ in front of him. But Marcus did not allow them to remove her. Deep inside him, there was still a little sense of guilt he felt, for how he had treated Chantelle and her family over the years. It was at this point that people had started gathering around them. Some of these people were already in the car park before them, while some were just coming out of the store. When they saw the amount of noise Cecelia was making, they were shocked. They listened in, and found out that she was insulting someone. Customers, who had just come from inside Sole Purp
Dave had just gotten back into his office when he found out that Marcus had not taken his phone. He was still debating on whether he should go and give it to him when his secretary, Mel entered. “Boss, it seems like your friend, the last visitor forgot some things he got.” “It was very likely the attendant that helped him pack it up forgot it due to how much he got.” “Do you think I should go and give it to him sir?” She asked. Mel has been struck by Marcus since she had seen him. Everything about him just seemed to attract her to him. Marcus was rich, good looking, well built and he had a very good voice. It was like how ants were attracted to sugar. She had been really happy when it got to her knowledge that he had forgotten some of the things he bought. Even though she would have loved to race out to meet him, she knew her job was also really important. She had to consult her boss, Dave, on whether she should go out to give the rest of his cloth
Marcus did not like how everything was proceeding. A lot of people, it seemed, were now getting too familiar with his face. Some might deem it paranoia, but Marcus felt his reason was still valid. The more people that got to know about him, the more he would be in the public's eye. Of course, the more he was in the public's eye, the easier it would be for Oscorp to find out more about him, and possibly attack him. “Yes,” Marcus replied. “It seems like she does not believe the clothes are mine. She thinks I'm a fraud.” “Ohh. That's weird. Do you know her then?” Dave asked. “Yes actually. She's my wife's sister,” Marcus said to the amazement of the crowd. The crowd that had been following the short discussion that was going on were surprised when they heard what Marcus had just said. It seemed like he was really familiar with this woman. So why was she accusing him if they were that close? Dave for sure already understood what was going on. Even thoug
Marcus got to his office safely. Huncho was given new orders, so he had to ensure Marcus's safety. This time around, he followed him into his building and straight to his office. Immediately he got to his office, he noticed Belle. She was looking expectantly at him. It seemed like she wanted to tell him something really important. Marcus greeted her and told her to follow him into his office. Marcus, Belle and Huncho entered the office together. Marcus went to the window overlooking the factory. He wanted to make sure the renovation of the factory was going well. Ever since the explosion happened, a lot of workers in the factory had not resumed work yet. Some of them had been injured, almost gravely in fact. The explosion was really serious. Marcus had just been lucky that it did not affect his own office. It was either luck, or the people behind it chose to intentionally leave him out of the explosion. Maybe they meant it to be a kind of thre
