The people in the company were still chattering and gossiping about Damon. Even the receptionist left her work to join in the gossipThis was the atmosphere that welcomed Jeremy. His presence wasn't even noticed until he harrumphed and said "I don't pay all of you to chatter" The floor immediately fell into silence as everyone went back to their work. Everyone gulped internally and prayed Jeremy wouldn't make a mountain out of a molehill. No one was expecting him to return to the country so early. Thus, they were relaxed, and weren't alarmed when they were gossiping Jeremy ruled with an iron fist. He didn't have the tolerance for any kind of slack. His features were soft and delicate, which made him appear gentle. Deep inside, he was neither gentle nor delicate. " What could be the reason for all of you to leave your work to chit-chat instead?" Jeremy dipped one of his hands in his pocket and walked towards the receptionist " S-Sir. Mr Nathan was here earlier. So, we got a little
After Mr Patel left the golf place, he went back into his car and instructed his driver to go to the police station where Baron was confined. While on the way, Mr Patel wore a face mask and a face cap to conceal his identity When he arrived at the police station, he asked to see Baron. He was led into Baron's cell. "Father, what took you so long? Doesn't matter, so far you're here now. Let's get out of here. The night I spent here was hectic. If I stay here another hour, the next place you'll visit me is in the hospital" Baron immediately stood up from the wooden cranky bed when he saw his father. He dusted his trouser, held the metal door and shook it slightly "Where's the officer that'll open this door?" "Foolish child!!" Mr Patel erupted in anger. His forehead creased and his eyebrows scrunched together " Do you know the level of damage you've caused. Perhaps it will be better for you to spend a few more nights in jail" " What damage? All I did was try to tear that snake's mask
Throughout the rest of the day, Damon spent his time researching and working on his knowledge. He was cooped up in his study room and didn't even realise when the day fell dark until Margaret called him to come out for dinner He concluded what he was working on and went to the dining area. There, he met Oliver sipping his ginger tea with a smile on his face. He happily stuffed a spoonful of food into his mouth "Grandfather, are you expecting someone?" Damon asked as he took his seat. Next to Oliver, there was a clean set of plate and cutlery positioned on the table "Oh yes! Your uncle has returned to the country. He called earlier to tell me he would visit tonight. That lad almost never comes home" Oliver replied Without any clear reason, at the mention of Nathan's uncle, Jeremy, a chill ran down Damon's spine. The air on his skin stood and his heartbeat palpitated. " How was your first day at the company? Did you find anything too difficult to handle?" Oliver asked, cutting Damo
The next day, Ambrose sprawled over her bed. The blanket that was meant to cover her laid messily on the floor. Her hair was spread over her pillow as she slept in a star position The golden sunlight seeped from her window and rested on her face. Her phone beamed indicating a message came inAmbrose rubbed her eyes and groggily reached for her phone. The slumber she felt flew outside the window when she saw the headings of the message It was an email stating that she was picked to enrol in the movie she auditioned for. However, when she scrolled further down, her brows creasedShe was given the role of the second female lead instead. It was better than nothing. The earlier smile found its way back to her face. She took a screenshot of the email and forwarded it to Damon with a caption "Honey, look, I made it!" A reply came in within seconds " Expected. You did well" Ambrose's smile was so wide it almost reached her ears, she immediately typed a reply "What's my reward for gettin
" There's a need. I'll be her friend first and then put a few good words in for you, so she'll know what a good person you are. I've taken it upon myself not to let you die a lone man" Brandon said the last sentence with more seriousness " Fine, do what you want " Damon replied and ended the call. He went back into the house and ate his breakfast. He didn't meet Oliver at the dining area Damon was halfway through his meal when an image flashed through his mind He saw a small boy, seated on the same spot he was, eating his food and next to the little boy was another boy at his right and a girl at his left. The boy and girl were arguing, the little boy in the middle ignored them and ate as though nothing was going on around him The flash of image in Damon's head came with an ache in his head. He quickly downed a glass of water and massaged his forehead. As he was doing this, a man came into the hose. He was holding a suitcase and was wearing a labcoat One didn't have to think much
Baron took a few steps closer to Damon. He had been restless the past few days. How was Damon able to climb the ladder so quickly? The feeling of restlessness grew inside him which was the reason he went to visit Damon's house He had been going since they released him from the hospital. He was sure Damon would, one day, visit the place and he was right Damon glanced at him before he properly closed the door and advanced to leave " It'll shake tables if I were to take a photo of you coming out of this house and then send it to Mr Oliver" Baron folded his arms across his chest and lifted a corner of his lips"Are you threatening me?" Damon stopped in his tracks and asked " No, not a threat. I'm just saying, I can easily put an end to your shenanigans. Don't go around thinking you're above me, just because you've borrowed someone else's name. You're still nothing! Mr Oliver would show you no mercy when he finds about your lies " Baron said Damon gave Baron a small smile" Go ahead an
"Although it's not the role I hoped for. I've came to a realisation that even the second female lead has more significance than the main female lead in the movie" As Ambrose spoke, she remembered Ella who she bumped into the other day and her mood dropped "You don't have to feel bad. It doesn't matter which role you get, you'll outshine the rest of the casts" Damon said when he saw the change in her moodAmbrose giggled and playfully hit Damon's shoulder "Oh you! You've gotten really good with words" She wagged her finger at him and placed her other hand on her waist "You're not allowed to speak like that to any other lady. Most especially that Ella girl" Damon replied "Is that a hint of jealousy i suspect?" He curled the corner of his lips up and made himself comfortable on the sofaAmbrose scrunched her lips in disdain. She hated to admit it, but Ella was beautiful. She had a pair of does eyes that made her even look more feisty Her figure which was already to die for was embedded
Ella looked around and was fascinated at the romantic air on the floor. She doubted if it was Damon that planned all of that. He always looked cold and didn't like to express his emotions. She thought "It's impossible for Nathan to take a fancy to this plain Jane instead of me" The floor was meticulously designed that she was almost jealous of Ambrose. She maintained her countenance, smirked slyly at Ambrose and took a few steps further Ambrose lifted her head and saw Ella. Her inflated mood dropped. Why in the world was Ella there? " A man rich enough to give me princess treatment" Ambrose scrutinised Ella from head to toe "Unlike you who's trying so hard to get a man that has zero interest in you, my man will give the world for me" Ella balled her fists that her nails almost pierced through her palm. But she smiled anyway, trying to conceal the effect the words gave her. She wouldn't give Ambrose a chance of superiority "In case you're not aware, I and Nathan are engaged. Would
