Author's point of view... "Hey, young people, what can I get you?" Robin asked with a welcoming smile as the couple settled in a free table. The man poured them a glass of water from the jug on the bar and waited while Leo studied the menu."I'll have cheese spaghetti and..." he stopped as Jessica grabbed the menu from his hands."Two regular coffees with an extra shot and two plates of your special, please." she was a regular customer of that place, of course, she knew what was good here so Leo just crossed his hands over his chest and sat glancing at the young woman. "Coming right up!" Robin responded, and he turned to head toward the kitchen. Leo was looking around, sneaking glances at Jessica, as she was so excited about coming to a simple place like that. It was not Leo's first time to be in a simple place but he was quite surprised to see a young girl like Jessica being interested in simplicity. Where all girls at her age cling to fancy and expensive restaurants, she was mor
Author's point of view... As the commotion increased, the other customers ran away but Jessica walked towards the kitchen. She looked at Leo holding a gun in his hands and the other goons were smirking at him casually. Heaving a big sigh, Jessica rolled her eyes annoyed. "This man..." she sat back at the table so casually as if nothing strange was happening in there. Leo had already read the mind of the gang leader, but instead of getting panicked, he rolled the gun in his hands like playing with a toy. The leader laughed louder. If it were some normal man, he would have peed in his pants by now but Leo jumped sitting on the table behind him, and crossed his legs. "So... Do you think you caught me? Ha ha ha ha" the leader sneered at the young man's confidence. The others around him chortle similarly. Leo looked at the girl before instructing her, "Take your father to the safe side, Hanna," his voice was very normal and he had got hold of the situation already. Though Hanna di
Author's point of view... Jessica was a bit confused, she looked at Leo who was now licking his fingers in amusement. Every bite that he just had resembled some kind of heavenly food that he never had. On being asked what he was planning to do, Leo just smirked mysteriously and whispered into her ears, "You will get to know..."She could see him becoming more and more like a mysterious person, the way he spoke and through the manipulative attitude that was increasingly more mysterious. He started doing things in a blink of an eye. Taking decisions in seconds. Everything about him was now like a jumbled puzzle that she couldn't solve. What is going on with him? It was true that she brought him here so that he could help Robin but she never thought he would be so impressed by his cooking skills that he would even offer Robin a job. "Don't put on such a poker face," Leo said and realized that Jessica was staring at him confused. Jessica instantly smacked herself back from the haze a
Author's point of view... Leo shoved his hands in his pocket but his lips pursed downward as he noticed his mistake. He felt embarrassed to have forgotten the box in the car. Linda had mentioned again and again that the card was a must and should yet he forgot it. "Agh...I just...forgot..." Leo couldn't complete his words as the man before him sneered, "I knew it..." The elegant smile on his face turned into a disdainful smirk immediately and he crossed his arms across his chest. "Security..." he called out, ironically. Bran looked at the young man with a knowing look. It wasn't his first time to deal with a young man like him, he had dealt with many of his kind before. Bran concluded, that Leo obviously didn't have an entry card with him. According to Bran, Leo was just one of those who bragged about having a club card before their friends and girlfriends. Bran sighed in irritation, he just wanted to get Leo out of the club as quickly as possible. As the security guards arrived
Author's point of view... The moment Leo heard Jack's voice, he felt his blood started boiling in his body. He was never a man of anger but Jack was one of those who could make a decent person into a beast in no time. Every inch of him was fuming in anger. He instantly recalled the past. It was his first day as a cleaner when he first met Jack outside the canteen. Though Jack was just an assistant manager at that time, he had very cruel behavior towards his subordinates, especially Leo. He noticed that the new cleaner was a talk of attention among the ladies in the office and just to come to terms with his jealousy, he was in search of a chance to beat Leo out of shape. Just because Leo stumbled upon him, Jack and his friends had beaten Leo up so brutally. That was just the beginning. After that incident, Leo became a tool for their enjoyment. A plaything.They beat him up as they pleased, and tortured him every time. It was not that Leo couldn't fight back but his financial probl
Author's point of view...After Jack left, Linda didn't wait any longer and took out the card to show it to the manager and formally introduced him."Meet Mr Leonard Connell, the CEO of Longsfire Corporation," Linda said as she extended her hand toward Leo, the manager dropped his jaw in shock. "I think it's all clear now, isn't it?" Alvin said, pursing his lips, a sly smile emerging. The manager then took the black card to see. His hands trembled. While he was still looking at the card in disbelief, Leo crossed his hands over his chest and asked, "Am I allowed to enter now?"At first glance, the plain black card didn't look very impressive. It really did look like a basic plastic room card from a normal hotel room but the authoritative letters engraved on it could make one's mind stir."Partnership card" It wasn't any membership card but a partnership card, given to the only largest shareholder.The manager lifted his head and stared at Leo and then at the card more clearly.His eye
Author's point of view...Jack Davinson booked a VIP private room next to the supreme hall and was eagerly waiting for someone to call him. Though it cost him more than his two month's salary, he didn't feel the slightest pain. He was promoted after all. And the position he was in now was not a normal one. Jack will be announced as the General Manager of the Diamond Oracle.The ladies next to him were overjoyed as he shared the news with them and were here to celebrate his promotion.In the supreme hall, the atmosphere turned cold as the members of the family started discussing the thing that had just been revealed to them."Could it be true?" "So the young master is an imposter? What a shame..." "I heard he worked as a janitor in Dave's office. Is that true?"Many people have many perspectives but none could detour Leo.He just sat there rubbing his chin. He wasn't terrified as he knew better than anyone else that though the accusation was correct, the old man didn't have any eviden
Author's point of view...The moment Jack Davinson saw the chair turning towards him, he bowed in respect before greeting the chairwoman's son, the real heir of the Longsfire Corporation. But as he lifted his head to see the young man's face, he froze.Leo...!What the hell is happening?Though he was shocked, there was not even a single doubt in his head that the young man could really be the heir. Instead, he was sure that Leo might be conning these people and he had his chance coming.A smirk tugged on his face and one of the corners of his lips twitched.Now that he was called here to meet everyone in the family, he thought that he could gain his place in the company by letting the cheater get caught. He narrowed his eyes at Leo. "Leo...! What the hell are you doing here?" Jack furiously barked. Everyone in the supreme hall was shocked to see Jack's rude temperament. Being just a candidate for GM in one of the small companies under Longsfire Corporation, Jack was actually shoutin
