Jason quickly retrieved Daphne's coat and covered her up with it as she leaned against his. "Can you please give us a minute?" He asked Jasmine who still stood transfixed at the door, as though she had just seen a ghost. She stepped out and closed the door after her. "What did she come here for?" Daphne asked him. "I thought you had an assistant and secretary, so why did they not send a message to you first?""First, I have no idea what she is doing here. They all know that Jasmine is my friend and she does not need an appointment to see me," he answered. "I think she should start booking an appointment henceforth so that my nudity would not be on display next time," she said as she pulled the coat over her. Jason helped her do the buttons. "Are you jealous?" He asked her. "I am not jealous. I'm simply marking my territory because I know that both of you have history and you feel indebted to her. I have not also forgotten the discussion I heard the other night, about her wanting a chi
"The new tank farms are on fire!" She finally announced, and Jason could swear that his soul left his body. He could not believe his ears at all. He had begun to establish new tank farms to store oil with the Qatar business partners that he had contracted with six months ago. It was such a humongous project that they were hesitant to invest at first. When he showed them what his father had achieved in the oil business, they eventually decided to give it a try. They had invested billions of dollars into the business, and it had kicked off successfully.The news was like a big blow to his face, as he had no idea what he was going to say to his partners. He was also thinking of the huge debt that he was in at the moment. He placed his hands on his head in confusion and let out a scream. He paced about angrily, as he did not know what to do at the moment. "I can't believe this!" He growled as he finally took a
For the first time, Jason called for a meeting of THE SIX. It was usually one of the privileges allocated to the members of THE SIX. Anyone could arrange for a meeting if there was any pressing issue that needed to be tackled. He used the location that they had used the previous time, and he was the first to arrive at the venue. Evian arrived next, as it was an emergency. It was his nature to be late to meetings. When Angelina came in, Jason wanted to punch her in the face but he remembered that violence was not allowed. The other members soon came in and Klaus was the last to come. "What is the reason for calling us all out here?" Klaus asked Jason pointedly, as he wanted to go straight to the point. Jason stood up before he began to speak. No one stood up to speak so it was surprising to them all. "You all must have heard about my tank farms that were razed to the ground," he began and they all nodded, except Angelina. She had decided not to look at him at all, and Jason thought th
Jason waited patiently for Gustavo in the safehouse, hoping that they were successfully able to ambush Lambert and bring him to the safehouse. "Even if he knows what caused the fire, you very well know that it would not bring back what has been ruined," Laura said to him."That's not the point. I am not trying to bring back what has been ruined. I am only trying to ensure that this accident or whatever it was does not repeat itself," Jason said. He was becoming impatient, as they had been in the safe house for over an hour. It was not long before they heard the sound of a vehicle outside. Jason rushed to look out of the window, and to his relief, it was a red travel van, just like the old man had described.Lambert, his wife, and three children were brought inside the house, with guns pointing at their heads. They were shaken with fear because they probably
At the sound of punishment from Klaus, Caleb's countenance changed immediately, as he knew how cruel Klaus could be to anyone who would dare challenge any member of THE SIX. He had witnessed how Klaus had wiped out an entire family because they attempted to fumble with Rasheed's business in Dubai. "Please, Jason, it has not gotten to that," he pleaded. Even Beverly was surprised at the way he had suddenly brought himself down to beg Jason. "I don't think you deserve any mercy, so just get prepared to take whatever comes your way," Jason stated plainly. "And if you are thinking of pulling off another stunt, then be rest assured that you would be so sorry in the end," he added. Caleb fell on his knees immediately and began to plead this time. In a bit of confusion, Beverly also joined him to beg Jason. She did not know what was going on, but she knew that whatever would make Caleb beg like this had to be something very bad. Jason looked at them on their knees. He never knew that he ha
"What?!" Jason shrieked as he got up from the bed with a start, one that disturbed Daphne as well. She sat up in bed immediately as she watched him on the phone. There was a worrisome expression on his face that depicted that all was not well. "What hospital is he in right now?" She heard him ask the caller and that was when she was startled. The hospital could only mean that someone was sick. He soon ended the call and without saying a word to her, he headed to the closet and picked out a shirt. "What is going on?" Daphne asked him as he wanted to hurry out of the room. He looked at her briefly. "Jacob was rushed to the hospital this morning, and I have to be there immediately," he informed her before he kissed her goodbye and hurried out. Thankfully, Samson was waiting for him downstairs with an already prepared car, and he got in immediately. "I must caution you about the way you do your work here," Jason said to Samson. "I know that we are good friends, but that does not mean tha
"We just carried out an investigation and we found out that the sauce that was used to make breakfast for the students was infused with a high dose of cocaine and fentanyl," the principal explained. "Everyone that had the sauce with their chicken this morning was a victim." "Has any further investigation been carried out concerning who is responsible for the poisoning?" Jacob asked. "Of course we have," the principal said before she turned her laptop around, so it would face him. "This image was from the surveillance footage along the kitchen corridors that lead to the pantry," she explained. "The sauce was kept in the refrigerator for the night, but it was poisoned before morning. We went further to search for who was responsible and all we saw was this man with a mask." She tapped on the keyboard to reveal the picture of a man dressed like a chef. All parts of his body were covered, except for his face. He had a nose mask on, just like a regular chef. The nose mask seemed a little
As Evian came into the club in his normal cherry manner, everyone cheered and hailed him. He waved his hands in the air. The club was where he would usually spend his evenings after every successful execution of his devious plans. It was not about the loud music, the energetic people, or the drinks he had at the club. It was mostly about the women. Women were his weakness, and Evian could not go more than two days without a woman. However, he was not one to display his weakness in the open. Only those who were close to him usually had the opportunity to learn about his addiction. "Free drinks for everyone!" He announced it heartily and everyone cheered for him once again. He relished the praises of people so much. It made him feel alive in some kind of way. He was soon led to the elevator that would take him to the VIP section reserved for him. The reservation was usually made for him beforehand so that he would not have to undergo any hassle for it when he arrived. There was somethi
