When Stephen came to, he was in a private dining room, probably still in the same hotel.He knew that it would have been impossible to move him out of the hotel without the Essen Mafia or the security team of the Cho family finding out.“Ah, Mr. Cho, you’re up.” A familiar man’s voice greeted as Stephen’s eyes adjusted to the dim lighting.“Master Ong.” Stephen groaned as he recognized one of the men in the room. He was Gabrielle’s grandfather, the man who had tricked his own into inviting him to the party.“Stephen Cho, it’s been a while. I’m sure you’ve met this young man with me, Kevin Yap.” The old man s
“I will consider it, but I am not after destabilization.” Those were Stephen’s last words before he was knocked out again.He couldn’t help but grumble and swear revenge on them right before passing out.He didn’t understand why they did this, if they wanted him on their side they should have been treating him better, not knocking him out.When Stephen came to, he was in one of the restaurant’s private dining rooms.“I guess we weren’t in the restaurant.” Stephen grumbled as he found his work phone in front of him.It was a good thing he had left his personal one with Andr
“It was bugged.” Andrew said as he placed Stephen’s work phone on his desk. “The IT department worked double time on investigating and trying to mask the cloning. Now you can use this phone to deceive them.”Andrew held out a different older phone.“I didn’t want you mixing up your real phone and the bugged one.”“What does it transmit to them?” Stephen asked as he picked up the bugged phone.“Messages, location, calls, we thought it would take the photos and videos too, but I guess they weren’t capable of setting it up in time.” Andrew explained as Stephen picked it up and sent a message to his assistant.
“Ladies.” Amalia greeted with a smile as she sat on a throne-like chair in one of her restaurants.Over the years she had saved her allowance and built her own tiny empire that was the envy of many men and women in her social circle.“Miss Cho, wow, so many guests today.” A woman who could easily be an international model gasped as she looked around their group.Amalia Cho rarely invited people out to shop, so when she sent out the invitation, everyone accepted.“Of course, today I annoy my brother.” She said with a grin, implying that she and Stephen were not on the best terms.“Oh,
“Amalia moves fast.” Robert chuckled as he entered Stephen’s office at the end of the day. “It seems your family is the content of all my news reports for today.”Robert handed Stephen a document that was normally submitted to him for the daily news broadcast.“Hmmm?” Stephen hummed as he looked up from his desk to acknowledge his friend’s arrival.“She asked for three women from my company.” Robert explained. “My fastest rising star, my most popular actress, and guess who was the third.”“I’m not in the mood for games, Robert.” Stephen warned his friend.
“Please babe, be my date tonight.” Stephen begged over the phone pretending to be a whipped boyfriend. “I told you I needed space, Stephen. If you really wanted to invite me, you would have asked me in advance.” Vanessa shouted over the phone. “I told you not to contact me, Stephen, I’m done with your lies.”Vanessa dropped the call on Stephen making him stare at the phone in shock.Collapsed in his seat and took deep breaths. Vanessa’s acting had been way too convincing that Stephen had to remind himself that it was all fake.“You okay?” Amalia asked as she entered his room, making sure he had the right shade of necktie to match Angel Clarke’s dress.“I’m fine.” Stephen sighed as he got up and inspected his suit for the night.Like everything he owned now, it was custom made for him. It was designed and tailored by a very exclusive designer with a limited clientele. “Are you sure you want to go through with this?” Amalia asked her brother as she hesitated from leaving the room.She
“Gabrielle.” Stephen said in a flat tone as he nodded at his ex.He could see in her eyes that she wasn’t happy to be there with Angel and that the way Stephen regarded her infuriated her.“Edward, let’s swap!” Amalia whined as she walked over to Stephen’s friend. “I don’t want to be my brother’s date. He is no fun.”Edward and Robert both chuckled at the young woman as Stephen walked ahead of their group, into the venue.It was clear that he was not interested in anything other than supporting his friend and keeping his sister company.“Stephen, have you met my companion?&r
“Is it working?” Amalia whispered as she looked behind them.She had seen Robert’s smile turn into anger as he suddenly dragged Gabrielle Ong out of the room.“She probably threatened him with you. So I assume it’s working.” Angel pointed out as they sat down around their table.Angel then turned to Stephen and observed him.“What?” Stephen asked as he looked down at the much smaller woman.“You’re different.” She suddenly said, confusing everyone around their table.“Of course I’m different, it’s been over ei
