She heaved a sigh of relief as she noticed he was saying the truth. He also stood shocked, just the same way she felt as well.
“And you couldn't knock again this time because?”“And you don't know Davin hates fraternization in his company?”“What gives you the audacity to speak about what my boss dislikes and what he doesn't?”“I'll speak to you in whatever way I deem fit.” Grace said angrily.“Ladies, ladies, please let's lower our voices. It's unethical to be shouting this way in an office premises.”“Suddenly you can speak, I thought your mouth was full of her big sized nipples and you lost your voice.“Excuse me please, I'm not here to trade words with you. I'm only saying we should reduce our voices before people think that there's something going on here.”“And wait please, are you saying there's nothing going on here? You're f*cking your acting chairman and you think there's nothing going on here.”<“Hello, I just left your office and wow, you did a great job by not telling me you were going to travel. I thought it was a lie at first until I waited there for more than four hours and you still didn't call. Now I skipped two hours before my lunch break, my lunch break and an hour after my lunch break, all for nothing!” She said, panting like a deer that longeth for water.“Slow down! Slow down! Then breathe properly.” Davin said over the phone doing the same rhing.She breathed in, then breathe out. “That….does…. not….make…me happy in any way.”“I know I was wrong to do that but it was an emergency. I need to be at home and I couldn't bring myself to telling you that I won't be available.”“I understand. So you put Helen in charge?” Grace asked.“Yeah, I did? Did anything unusual happen?”“No, nothing of that sort happened. They treated me well. Helen is such a nice girl.”“She has a lot of attributes, being nice
“Ooh! Brother! So nice to see you, mom said you'll be home today, I doubted it but of course now I believe.”“Did you miss me?” Davin asked.“Yeah, yeahhhh I did.” Michael said, reluctant to hug him because his hands were wide open.“It's fine. All that life is in the past, I won't hurt you. We're friends and you're a big boy now.” Davin said, chuckling.James wanted to say a word but this was family business and he was not invited. How could he trust his brother so easily. He tried to signal him not to fall into his trap but he was already too close and an attempt to shift away from him to run away or run to safety might fail because Davin will be too prepared and will catch him. Also, he would also know that he is the one who dissuaded him from embracing his brother so he stopped.Into the arms of Davin he saw James smiling at him and so he tapped him on his shoulder lightly. Davin released him and his smile looked more genuin
“How did your meeting with Davin go?” She asked over the phone.“We didn't meet again, he travelled for an emergency to his hometown.” Grace said disappointedly.“Did he say when?”“No, he didn't. But he specifically said that he's really going to be busy there. He said he had a lot on his plate.”“Well, that's very sad news, but don't relent, ensure you strive to know more about him and the business.”“Yeah, surely, I would do that.” Grace said emphatically.“So who runs the company in his absence?”“He left it in the hands of his secretary, Helen.” “Hmm, I hope she's not gaining the upper hand in this battle,.see to it that she loses that job or you replace her and she's taken somewhere else. You need to be close Davin. That's the only time we can strike and the impact will be felt by him.” She said.“Anyways ma'am, I got a little lucky today and got a spy to be on the team. She's really smart a
Davin paced his office, the weight of the day’s events pressing down on him. Michael’s reckless actions and the subsequent family drama had put him on edge. His mother’s frustration was palpable, and the tension between James and him had become a new battleground. Davin’s phone buzzed, pulling him from his thoughts. It was a message from Grace.“I need to see you. It’s urgent. Call me." She said, her voice blaring over the phone. He frowned, feeling a pang of unease. Grace had been a reliable ally, but her recent insistence on digging into Davin’s business made him wary. He dialled her number immediately.“Grace, what’s going on?”“Davin, I’ve found out something that might interest you,” she said, her voice tinged with excitement. “Helen’s involvement in something big. She’s been meeting with someone from the IT department.”Davin’s curiosity was piqued. “Meeting with whom? And what are they discussing?” He asked. “I’m not sure about the details yet,” Grace admitted. “But I suspec
The next moment saw Davin in his homestead, the best place he could find solace, he moved into the house Swifty, his mind settled on having a rest from the long hours at work. As he sank into the chair, his phone blared, he sighed deeply, "This isn't the time for this...I ... need to have some time for myself." He exclaimed.Hurrying to the table where his phone was kept, his eyes settled on the phone's screen. With a deep breath, he shrugged, it was a call from Niki, the lady he had always avoided like a plague. Davin hesitatingly swiped his hands on the screen and Nikki's voice blared from the speaker. "Hello, Davin." She said, "I know you should be wondering why I'm calling you, but this isn't about what you think." Davin listened without giving a response, he wasn't interested in stories that touched the heart at that moment, all he thought of was to have his nap. "Can we meet later tomorrow?" She asked. "Are you there… or are you ignoring me like you always do?" She asked,
When Davin was done with what he had to do, he quickly stepped out of the inn, but then his eyes widened at a scene that made him stutter. Three hefty men were molesting a lady just by the front of the inn, blood gushing from the lady's lips. Davin's teeth clenched, his fists tightened. He hurried towards the scene, his steps carrying the weight of the hatred he had for the men. Quickly, when he got there, he called out to one of the men. His voice heavy with anger. "Why are you doing this?... Can you just stop it!" Davin yelled. The man turned, his eyes reddened, his voice sounding stern and commanding, "And who are you to come give us orders here?.. you little brat, won't you get lost immediately if you don't want to have a taste of my anger?" Davin chuckled, "... A taste of your what?" He asked again. "And you take your hands off her!" He commanded, pointing at the other guy who was grabbing the lady's hair. He was Roland by name. Quickly Roland unleashed a slap on Davin's f
After Davin crossed back to the lady, she snubbed him. Her voice heavy with fear, “Thanks so much for rescuing me.” she said. Davin, flustered by the looks in her eyes walked closer to her, his words calm and controlled,”Why sound this way lady? … I mean no harm… all I wanted to do was help you.” Davin exclaimed. Flustered, the lady turned, her voice crackling with tension, “im happy you assisted me, but please...can you allow me? I don’t trust you.” she said.‘Really?.. is that what it is to you? Davin asked. “can you get in my car so I drop you off?” The lady shook her head dismissively, “No...I will find my way from here alone.” her voice laced with fear and pity. Davin hurriedly held her close to himself, his arms folded over her shoulders, he could feel her shivering in his arms. ‘That's alright, its fine.” Davin exclaimed. He slowly wiped off the blood stain on the lady's lips with his hands.Suddenly, two cars pulled over right in front of them, masculine looking men ali
Davis has always been calculative of his decision, he did not only gain the strongest martial skill in the world, he had money and fame, so he chuckled."A golden opportunity that if I miss... I would regret it?" He asked himself, "he isn't serious".Then he swiped through his phone and got to the intent, immediately, his eyes flickered open, "Daughter to the lord commander rescued from unknown invaders" he shook his head and glanced through the details of the news, but to his surprise, nothing of it was made mention of him "So, how do they claim that I wasn't the one who rescued her?" He whispered to himself.He quickly got dressed and decided to go meet the lord, his steps carrying the weight of the situation.An hour later, Davis arrived at coastal lane, a reserved area in Arctic land preserved for the few influential and connected men in town; he observed the talk buildings with close scrutiny before pressing the honk for the gate to be opened."Someone is at that gate!" A securi
