Gavin was seated just across the table on a chair. His face was stretched in a smile at the face of his surprised and shocked wife. "Welcome back home, my love. I have been waiting for you." Meghan was speechless. The more she stared at what was before her, the more questions she had to ask. Under the shocked expression was a buried anger she had kept just for Gavin. Everything, even the food in front of her, was not enough to quell what she felt at the time."What? How on earth did you know that I would be free from jail, and I would be coming back home in a moment?"Gavin raised an eyebrow above his happy face. "Why are you asking me a question like this? Have you in any case forgotten about the promise I made to you to get you and your family out of prison? Well that is how I know because I am the one responsible for getting out of jail."Meghan felt the anger surge up within herself. "What the hell is going on with you, Gavin? Why do you always have to lie about everything? For
Seeing that she was not going to be believing him, Gavin decided to just keep quiet and let her rage on, talking as much as she wanted, while he left her for the bedroom as he always did when she got very troublesome."Don't you dare walk out on me!" She thundered out loud, stopping him on his tracks. "I have still not talked about what you did to me on the night of the event. Don't you dare think I have forgotten everything you and your so-called mistress put me through. Don't be unfortunate, Gavin. Did you really think I would let that slide? You must be dumber than I thought.""Oh Meghan, how many times do I have to tell you that she is not my mistress." Gavin lamented once again."I don't fucking care who she is to you any more" she screamed. "All I know is that you defended her over me, who is supposed to be your wife. I don't care whatever lies you intend to spin, nor do I plan to believe them, but Gavin the moment you did that, putting a strange woman over me, sealed the fate o
"What is going on? Why have you not been at work? You know what? Never mind! Just take your raggedy body right here this instant. There is something important I want to attend to, and I don't need you slacking on the job while you are at it. Kapish!"With the words of his boss, Gavin raced against time over to the City Express Company. He knew what was about to happen and he smiled inwardly knowing it. Things were about to get really exciting for him, and he could not help but be excited even as he was in a taxi, going over to work.With the tone of voice his boss used, it was obvious that whatever he had called for was important. Gavin could not help but imagine all that this important thing could be.He arrived at work and further raced into Mr. Brax' office. The speed he got in with, got him nothing but tongue lashing from Mr. Brax, who as usual had a foul mood on himself."What the hell are you doing, running into my office like you are a mad man in a free way?" Thomas asked. Oh
"I want you to be in this meeting, Gavin." A brief smile showed itself on Mr. Brax's face.Gavin was confused. He could not really tell why was it that the boss had to call just him to come stay for the job. He was sure that the man did not like him, so he could not just lie to himself that it was because Brax found him to be special, like his brain was telling him to. At first he was willing to live with the question dancing around in his head, but then in a few seconds after, he felt really uncomfortable about keeping such a thing living rent free inside of him, especially as he saw that there really was no need to have him there, when literally they were other people around, and after knowing quite for himself that Mr. Brax, really did not like him as a person."Sir," Gavin began, in the most humble of ways a person could possibly go in talking to a person they recognized as superior, "Can I be honest with you?""Sure, knock yourself out," said Mr. Brax. "You were not going to l
A moment after Mr. Brax's speech, his phone went abuzz, and he picked up the call."Oh you are coming already?" he asked with such gusto in his voice."Yes, of course I am," the voice from the other end of the call said."Alright then."The call was immediately ended, and Mr. Brax' attention was shifted back to Gavin."Now on you, are you going to be the cupbearer or not? I need your answer fast. Don't waste my time. I do not have time to be wasting on frivolities like that, I have a company to look after, and I have money to make. I bet you may not know anything about that, eh, is that not right, Gavin?"Gavin kept quiet like he was thinking it through in his head. Mr. Brax noticed that he had been quite silent for some time now, and then decided to add something else to it."Oh this is not a decision to make for you. It is not a choice that can be taken without any consequences. If you do not choose the post I am offering you, you will be fired right here, right now. I already told
"You disgrace of a human being," Mr. Brax said at the top of his lungs. "How dare you forget to greet an important visitor as Mr. Evans over here. What is going on in your head, you sorry excuse for a person. I ought to have you fired and make sure you do not work anywhere else, you lousy bottom feeder."Gavin was taken aback by Mr. Brax' words for a mere mistake like that. Although he truly expected such a response from him, he just did not know that it would be that quick into the meeting.The emissary chuckled. "You do not worry about this, Mr. Brax. Neither should you be surprised. You know that low lives like him would always be like this, how else do you think they got stuck in the position they are in life after all? Do you think it was because they were sensible in their dealings? It is always because they are incompetent."Mr. Brax laughed. He was happy, as he was expected to be. These were the kind of conversations that he liked, the type that puts down others under the ass
Brax was shocked at the new discovery. "What?" He yelled out, grabbing the edge of the table. "I did not know this. How on earth does Thomas, the Thomas that owns the Morano City Bank, the most prosperous bank in this side of the country—how on earth does he have a boss?"Gavin watched a shocked Brax, his mouth wide open, wondering how on earth what he heard was even a possibility. Gavin was almost thinking to himself that if Brax was shocked at this little news, it would be quite a thrilling thing to see what he would look like when the next big news would hit him.Brax looked at Gavin who was smirking at the time. Gavin frowned immediately as though he was never smiling. Brax' eyes turned back to face Evans who had his face as he had always kept it, in a serious fashion. His eyes almost never blinked under the glasses he wore."I see that you are not joking," said Brax, taking a sip of wine from his glass cup. "But if mysterious Thomas, who is all great and powerful, has a boss, w
"Before coming here, I was duly informed that the new boss would be in the company, that is, he would be coming here not so long after everything that has been said, is done." Evans nudged at once, after signing one of the documents."Oh is that so?" Brax said in a wonder lust tone. He had been unable to hide his sense of amazement and how bamboozled he was after he was told that Thomas had a boss that was over him. Gavin found himself struggling between not laughing, and then trying not to keep a face so stern that it would have people thinking he was frowning. But he was sure that if Brax so much as said another "oh" he would most definitely laugh his brains out.Evans brought out a red envelope that had a white seal on it. He dropped it on the table, making a flapping sound that caught Brax attention."What is this, something more to be signed?" Brax held the envelope and looked at it curiously, almost like what a gorilla would do if he found a radio transmitter, or a cell phone
