"Jason, what is with this rumour I am hearing?" Jason's father bellowed, looking sternly at Jason.Jason stared at his father in confusion, "what rumour, father?""Why did Harlan Smith pay your hospital bills and why didn't you bring him to me immediately when you saw him?" Jason's father asked angrily.Jason continued staring at his father in confusion. Of course, he didn't know how Harlan had paid for his hospital bills because by the time he came out from the hospital, Harlan wasn't there again.Jason's father brought out his phone and showed Jason the back view of a guy who had the same clothes as Harlan had worn in the afternoon when he followed Harlan to the hospital and he was wearing a cap too. A caption under the picture read 'the Alberts know Harlan Smith, he paid one of the Alberts heirs' hospital bills a few minutes ago.'"Dad, if I knew where Harlan Smith was, I would have called your attention to it.""Wow. Stop fooling around, son. Don't make me anxious any longer when
Smith bit his lips and thought about the best excuse to give Harlan. He was grateful when his phone rang. At least, it would give the perfect opportunity to escape Harlan's inquisitiveness for the time being.Smith answered the call. He muttered an "okay" before hanging up."Son, let's see later. And I still want to know about where you want to live, that place you are living right now is quite insecure and I don't like how it looks, my personal assistant told me of how small it was," Smith said standing up."I will love to move here," Harlan Said at last, he could see reasons with Mr Smith.Smith nodded, "I will send Jack to get you things for you. Meanwhile, don't forget about where you have to go tomorrow, I will get you the necessary things you need in order to attend the meeting."Harlan stood up too as Mr Smith left the room. After he had left, Harlan looked around, a smile on his face as he walked around th
Harlan looked at the phone to be sure it was Jason that called him. It was!"What are you saying?" Harlan asked in surprise."You stupid fellow! Come out of that stinkin' place you are living now or you will regret it for the rest of your stinking life!" Jason blared over the phone.Harlan clenched his fist, "you will pay for being as rude as this to me, just wait and see."He hung up and called Jack who answered the call almost immediately."Where are you?" "I am at your house, Mr Smith ordered me to get your stuff into the new house. But, Sir, do you still need the things here? They are supposed to be in the garbage.""They are my things, I want them here.""I get that Sir.""I want you to go to the Alberts family and inform them that when I am ready for them, I will make sure they are no more than a filthy rag.""I get that Sir. I will inform them."Jack smiled after Harlan had hung up and kept the phone in his pocket. Harlan was finally becoming tough, but not as tough as he wou
"Hi. This is Harlan Smith," Harlan said into the phone, the only thing he could do to suppress his anger this time was to do what he hated to do most —make life difficult for someone else. The Alberts asked for it anyway."Harlan... What? Harlan Smith? Are you... Wait a minute, Harlan Smith, are you living in this city or—" the voice at the other end stuttered."I want to warn you, all of you Alberts, not to get on my nerves. One of you is really making me angry, if it persists, you are not going to like the consequences, not a bit," Harlan said into the phone."What? Do you mean one of the great Alberts is offending you? That can never be possible!""It's just a warning though, but if I have to call you like this another time, you won't be okay with it," Harlan said and hung up."Darn you, Jason Albert," Harlan muttered under his breath and took a sip from the cup of juice. Feeling bored and a bit
Harlan looked at his reflection in one of the rooms in Mr Smith's house that has now become his room as he got ready for the meeting Mr Smith had said he would be going to.He ran his hand through his hair slightly and smiled. The alarm on his phone rang to remind him that it was time he got going. He went outside where Jack was already waiting for him.Jack could not help grinning when he saw Harlan, he also couldn't help wondering why Harlan had not been wearing good clothes all the time he had known him.As the car drove to where the meeting was going to take place, Harlan's phone beeped. He checked the message. His brow furrowed. The same number with the same message.'I am Madame A. You can ask me anything.'He snorted and deleted the message as he had always done for the past few days."Sir, are you friends with Jason Albert?" Jack asked."Why did you ask?""He took
A lot of people, just like Cecilia, were surprised at the turn of events, no one understood why the man who had been rude to Cecilia wasn't the one to be sent away but Cecilia herself. The host was sweating as he ordered her out."And you, I don't want to see you anymore, get lost now!" The host shouted at the usher too who was too afraid to think straight. She fell on her knees and started begging the host not to send her away, but the man wasn't ready to listen to her, he was still shaking from the fears of what Harlan Smith would do to him. The security men dragged the usher out, not minding her cries and pleas.Harlan smiled to himself as he watched the change in event, it was either Jack had warned the host of the meeting or Mr Smith had told the host beforehand who he was.Cecilia wasn't ready to go out or plead, that would definitely flaw her personality. "I am not sure you know who I am," Cecilia drawled
Heads turned around, each person tried to make out who Harlan Smith was, but none of them, you can trust me, except Elizabeth knew who Harlan Smith was."The meeting is going to proceed now..."A form was passed round, each person got a copy of it so that they could fill in the name of their organization and what they did.After Harlan had filled the form passed to him, with great care he hid it from Elizabeth so that she wouldn't see the name on it. When he glanced at Elizabeth he found her frowning at the sheet of paper."Any problem?" He whispered to her.Elizabeth turned the sheet of paper to him and pointed at a particular place. As Harlan was trying to tell her what to fill in the space, the one he had filled blew off the table, across the hall right into the feet of one of the ushers standing around.Quickly, Elizabeth waved her hand in the direction of the usher so that he would return the form. Harlan held her wrist to stop her from calling the usher's attention."Shh... Leav
Now, Gary JH group is one of the big companies in the city that no one knows who is running it, not even Mr Smith could figure out the CEO. The group was always making the headlines of news as new development happens there every single day. If you ever got a contract with the Gary JH group, no matter what it is that you are working on, you could be sure you have gotten a quite deal of fame.Onlookers got interested in what was happening and the crowds pressed on Sherlock and her sugar daddy to check for themselves if their contract with the Gary JH group had really been terminated."But... What happened? What did we do wrong? You can't just come out of nowhere and tell us that our contract with the Gary JH group had been terminated," Sherlock's sugar daddy said in confusion, cold sweat forming on his forehead."I am not in the best position to explain what you did wrong to you," the one who seemed to be the leader said."We cou
