Mark and the others were frustrated cleaning the restrooms the whole day. It was the first time in their life that someone had trapped them in their own game. They can't complain nor can they spit a word out. It was frustrating. Exactly like how it has to be, Karma. After controlling himself for a moment, Mark snorted slamming the toilet brush. "This is ridiculous...! What the hell am I doing here? I am gonna kill that bastard...!" His friends made their way towards him, "But he has those things in his hands, Mark, what can we do to him? What if it goes out?" Mark looked at them and his eyes narrowed, "He can't do anything. Do you know who that was?" They shared confused glances and nodded, "Wasn't he the new boy?""He was Leo...!" revealed Mark and their faces flushed. "What...! How could it be? I heard he died long ago" they all exclaimed. Mark cracked the mobe in his hands and gritted. "No...he wasn't dead, but he will""What are you talking? What can we probably do to hi
Leo entered the head office successfully. Just a step from what he was here for, in the meanwhile getting back to those who made his life a hell in the past. Stepping out of Lissa's office, he strode toward her secretary to get the application letter but a familiar voice jerked him. "Leo...!" a girl exclaimed in shock, "What are you doing here?"Leo slowly turned around only to face those frustrating eyes. "A...a... Jessica...!" he stuttered but Jessica grabbed his hand and dragged him away to one of the corners in the corridor making sure there were no cameras. Pinning him on the wall she added gritting, "I knew it...! I knew that you were not in the hospital, why won't your doctor allow me inside if there is nothing to hide anyway" Leo tried to take off her hands but she pressed herself in anger, she wasn't aware of what she was doing right now. The only thing that her mind was bothered about was the man before him and his health he gave no heed. "Do you have any idea what I
Author's point of view... In a bar, the most expensive special room was booked in advance and everyone gathered. Leo hesitated to enter that room along with the other colleagues as he was the only man in that group and it did look like a trap. "Are we going to celebrate here?" he asked rather hesitatingly.Though there were some male employees in Grace's office, they were not invited here. That was suspicious indeed. But Leo just raised his eyebrows and a confident smile tugged on his lips. "Oh come on, Leo, you can't be shy like a teenage girl, get in" Grace grabbed his hand and dragged him in. Though a bit awkward, Leo walked in and settled in one of the seats in a corner. The room was dimly lit and there was a karaoke arrangement too. Just imagine the only man surrounded by nearly twenty ladies. It can make anyone nervous but Leo had no such feelings in his gut. What the hell was making him so confident? All the girls introduced themselves to Leo and the room buzzed with la
Author's point of view... Grace and her companions were sure that those men were here to threaten them. As the bill reached a huge amount, the hotel staff might have arranged for them to show their might. A satisfied smile tugged on her face and she slowly slipped to one of the corners. The man in the middle added, "I am glad to inform you all that your celebration tonight has reached a handsome amount..."Uhh...! That's what she anticipated. Grace was overjoyed and crossed her arms across her chest. "Come on complete your process...! I just want to see that bastard's ass getting kicked""And it had been graciously taken care of!" he announced almost expressing his joy, but that jerked Grace. "The bill has been settled by none other than the new president of your esteemed company!" the man completed and Grace could not believe her ears. A collective gasp swept through the room as surprise and confusion painted the faces of the colleagues. Leo, still holding the hefty bill, loo
Margaret barged into the office room with a bunch of papers while Dorson was watching the news on his television. "Have you seen this..." she almost screamed in excitement. "Oh... My God...!" Dorson exclaimed looking at the television screen hung in his room. "That boy is really something...!" Margaret was so excited that she didn't even notice that her brother was not listening to her. "Look at this Margaret, Dorson raised the volume of the television, pointing towards the screen. Both stared at the screen without blinking their eyes. All the news channels were covering only one topic, the famous business tycoon, Mr. Dave Richard was caught assalting a woman. The video was being played repeatedly. All most every channel were criticizing the young man's cruality. "He is done...! It's all over in just a day...!" Dorson mumbled in disbelief, "Do you think it was done by that boy?" "Look at this and you will get to know..." Margaret retorted as she extended the documents in her
Author's point of view... As soon as the message popped on his phone screen, all he could think of was about Jessica. He never once thought otherwise. "Drop me at the interjection" he requested Linda and she nodded immediately taking it as an order. "Sir so, from where do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?"Leo hesitated to tell her the address of that cafe, he thought it through and replied, "Just give me your number, I will call you"She nodded dropping him at the same spot he asked for. Leo made his way straight to the cafe and was shocked to see the chaos. There was a crowd watching the show from outside as some gangsters were shattering the place. Leo paced his footsteps. He couldn't comprehend what was going on there.As he stepped near the entrance, he saw James was help captive by some thugs and Milly and others were kneeling before a man. "James...!" Leo entered the cafe shouting James's name. Everyone's gaze shifted to the entrance. "Who are they?" he exclaimed in
Author's point of view... Leo's complete world almost stirred as he heard that name coming out of James' mouth. Why was his life getting more and more tangled with the Connelles family? Just why?But wait...!He thought that it might be someone else, after all, there is not only one family with the name, Connelles. "Now, just forget everything about it, and let's get treated first," he said talking James to the clinic nearby. Getting back to his room, Leo stared at the system screen that popped up before him. {Congratulations on successfully investing in your first project}{System has approved your investment to be the silver grade}{Code of the day- 3}{Points received -4/10}Leo curled his lips downward, "Silver grade...!""Well, how about I prove them wrong" he winked as he decided to develop that cafe to be a good profit place. Nine days more and a lot to do. As he was tired enough to doze off, it didn't take him long to fall asleep. The next day morning, Leo woke up dren
Author's point of view... Jenifer had always been very cordial on the job, though a newbie, she showed the utmost professionalism as a salesperson. And that quality of hers made everyone around her uneasy. As she didn't know if Leo had the money to buy this villa, she wasn't sure if he was just messing with her, any other employee might have refused to carry on with the paperwork but Jenifer continued stubbornly though her colleagues never once stopped sneering. However, she treated every customer equally and with respect.Even if they didn't want to purchase in the end, she always maintained her patience.But before Jenifer got back to Leo with the papers, Lara walked up to him, sneering, "Are you seriously thinking of buying that villa?"Her eyebrows were raised and she was laughing at him, taunting him inside her mind. Leo took a deep and steady breath before fixing his gaze to her, his gaze was so serious that she felt it penetrating deep into her soul. "Of course," Leo rep
