Abigail sneered. “I knew that Mr. Leonard won’t allow that stupid Miles and her bitch wife to outdo him at the class reunion. Look at him?!”Mark nodded his head. “The estimated sum of his outfit might be as high as $40 million.”These two are not the only ones awed by August Leonard’s appearance, all the other former students had gathered around him, asking questions and overall, trying to strike up a conversation that would draw the man’s attention to them.“Alright, everyone, let’s give our highly esteemed guest of honor a breathing room!” A voice boomed through the speakers and everyone found the organizer speaking over a wide podium. “Mr. Leonard, as one of the most esteemed guests at this class reunion, I would like for you to join us on the grand seat. Please, do not refuse us.”Everyone around August Leonard began to urge him to not refuse the organizer’s invitation. Only the most successful people currently are allowed on that podium where the seats are superiorly designed an
The other women around Lola’s table had mixed reactions to seeing Miles sit at that table. Worst, he had gone up there with Ethan James, of all people. This is the same man who had been utterly ridiculed by another former coursemate.“Lola, what your husband is doing is crazy and sorta disrespectful.”“Right. How much does he really make per year? We all know Miles Creek back at college. He’s one of the poorest men you’d ever meet. I doubt much has changed for him over the years, so I can’t understand what would give him the absolute audacity to go up there and sit down with the likes of August Leonard.”Lola frowned slightly when she heard the things that her friends were saying about Miles. She wasn’t dumb, and thus, she could sense the passive aggressiveness of these other women. She looked up on that podium and a little moment of witnessing the way Miles carried himself, she was happy.To be honest, Lola has long been suspicious of her husband’s true identity. As the months pass b
“Miles, are you sure that August won’t come back to cause you any trouble?” Ethan couldn’t help but ask as the group of three exited the venue.Miles stared at Ethan with slight disbelief. “Buddy, what? You don’t trust me?”Before Ethan could clarify himself though, Lola spoke up first. “Actually, Miles, I’m also worried as well. I remember August Leonard very well. He may seem like a gentleman a lot of the time, but that man has always been petty as hell. There’s a high chance that he might take revenge against you shortly. Maybe, it’s best if you’re careful around him.”“Exactly!” Ethan exclaimed with a sigh of relief. The last thing he wanted was to make Miles, his savior at this low point in his life, mad at him due to a misunderstanding. That was why he was really glad that Miles’s wife understood what he was trying to say.Miles thought about it before he suddenly sneered as his gaze fell into the distance of nothingness. “if he decides to take some sort of sick revenge on me fo
“My goodness! Mr. Miles, I had no idea it was you.” The older man had an apologetic expression on his face immediately. “I am truly sorry.”Miles smiled professionally at the older man. “Nah! Stop it, Mr. Bell, it’s fine.” He walked forward and shook hands with the man.Lola frowned slightly as she stared at the man whom she had been seen around her husband before. “Who is that man?” She mumbled to herself. Checking out the man’s outfit, she deduced that this Mr. Bell was an influential man. His total outfit was quite close to a million dollars in worth after all.Ethan, who had been standing close to Lola, heard the woman’s mumbled question. “Lola, you don’t know that man?!”Lola picked up on the surprise tone in Ethan’s voice, and she shook her head in response. “No, I’ve never seen him before. And you? Do you have any idea who he is?”Ethan nodded immediately. “That’s Mr. Jackson Bell, a very powerful man in the government. Specifically, he's a senior officer in the government.” He
Jackson Bell didn’t need to know the details. Solely based on the fact that Miles didn’t like August Leonard, he knew he had to do as Miles wished. If Jackson did otherwise, it would definitely piss Miles off which would then affect the relationship between Miles and the city authorities. By then, the higher-ups would definitely make Jackson suffer for ruining their relationship with such a wealthy hidden tiger such as Miles. Thus, Jackson Bell knew he absolutely couldn’t ad to offend Miles Creek.“Mr. Miles, I hear you loud and clear. I will have my subordinate removed from this very important project as soon as possible.” Jackson spoke with assurance.This pleased Miles and he tapped the older man on the shoulder. “Good talk then.” His smile had brightened up by now. “Very well then. I heard you’re currently trying to put certain laws into place to better the state of the city. I heard about them and I think you’re doing a very good thing for the people. I would love to endorse your
“I have to say, Miles, you’ve really become quite a mysterious person over the years.” Ethan let out his thoughts as he was driven by Miles along the road. “How did you even know a man as powerful as Mr. Jackson Bell?”Miles chuckled as he could hear the slight excitement in Ethan’s voice. “It’s a secret, my friend. No one is privy to know that, yet, at least.”Ethan nodded his head as his smile became slightly weak. He then began speaking with a calm voice. “Miles, you really saved me today. I don’t if you realize how truly grateful I am to you for the things you and your wife did, but I’m really….”Miles placed a comforting hand on Ethan’s shoulder while his other hand was still on the steering. Somehow, he still managed to look cool while being in such an awkward angle. “I don’t want you mentioning this to me again, got it? You, my friend, used to help me a lot back during our college days. This is the least that I can do for you. As for the managerial position, it should be open t
Miles felt extremely refreshed after taking a shower. He had just had an intense round of sex with his wife. He walked out of the bathroom fully naked to find his wife with an exhausted expression.Once Lola saw her husband, she bit her lips. “Baby, if I wasn’t so spent right now, I would have definitely offered another round. You look….. delectable.”Miles felt his heart surging through the roof at Lola’s words. There was nothing greater for a husband than his wife still finding him physically appealing, even after they just had multiple rounds of sex. In fact, Miles could feel his junior regaining a bit of vigor at his wife’s words. He walked towards her with confidence before leaning down to caress her naked back with his hands, feeling the smooth skin that awakened the urge to claim her once more.Lola understood that her husband was starting to get in a sexual mood once again, so she lightly punched the head of his junior. “No more tonight, baby. Maybe tomorrow. Right now, I need
“Miss Lola, thank you so much for being here with me. I really appreciate it.” Ava Truman smiled warmly at Lola as she was seated in the passenger seat of the sales director’s car. Ava Truman is a sales manager who got into Styleon Group Corporation around the time that Lola was on probation for her promotion from Sales Manager to Sales Director. When she saw how competent and overall amazing Lola was at doing her job, she gathered her courage and approached the Sales Director to help her with a contract deal worth $500 million. This was a few days after people at the office began speculating that Lola had the highest chance of heading the new company that the chairman was building.At first, Ava Truman didn’t hold any hope that Lola would accept to help her bag that contract, as it was just $500 million. Even though this was a big deal to Ava, she knew it was nothing to Lola who had bagged multiple contract deals for Styleon Group Corporation, with a total sum of up to $5 billion. T
