“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
Ava wanted to talk to Lola about the drinks that Derek had offered them, but the man was seated opposite them, going through the contract file, or at least, pretending to. She couldn’t say anything to the woman and knew that she had to behave to avoid any problem raising.The bodyguard walked into the meeting room with a tray and two glasses of half-filled whiskey for the two women. He made sure the drink was placed well, with the laced drink placed in front of Lola. The man then walked back to his boss, secretly giving him the signal that he had done as he was instructed.A smile grew across Derek’s face and he could already feel himself getting aroused at the mere thought of plunging himself deep into Lola, while she lost her mind to the sexual pleasure beneath him. “Please, ladies, have your drink.”Lola glanced at Ava to find the younger woman with a worried expression. She misunderstood that expression as Ava not being a drinker. Therefore, Lola turned back to the bald man with a
Derek now had a lewd expression on his face. “It’s exactly what it looks like, Miss Lola. You simply do not have my permission to leave until I get what I want from you.”Lola raised an eyebrow at this bald man in the suit. “And what is it exactly that you want from me?” She appeared calm on the surface but her heart was racing furiously at the moment.Derek smirked at the question. “C’mon, you’re a freaking Sales Director after all so I know you’re dumb. Unless you get naked with me in a special room and let me have my absolute full of you, you will not be leaving this place.”Ava gasped and covered her mouth as she heard these words from Derek. Fear gripped her heart, not for herself but rather for Lola who was currently in this conundrum because of her. If she hadn’t convinced Lola to come with her to this place, this would have never happened to Lola. Feeling responsible, Ava knew that she had to save Lola no matter what. At this point, she didn’t care what would happen to her, bu
Apart from the bodyguard who had been hit in the groin and hadn’t healed from the pain, the other bodyguards began beating the poor woman up. Ava was thus thrown into a world of pain as she was punched and kicked. The sales manager could only yell out in pain as tears slid down her face.In the car outside, Lola was already on her emergency contact.“My love, what’s up?” Miles’s voice came through the call.“Miles, please, get over here as soon as you can?! Someone is in great danger and I need your help?!” Lola conveyed all her anguish in her words, hoping her husband would understand how desperate Ava was in need of saving. At this point, her eyes were filled with tears. Fifteen minutes later, Miles arrived at the venue in his car. Immediately after he had packed the vehicle, he walked out of it, searching around for his wife. Lola had filled him in on everything that went down in that meeting venue with Derek Webber, including how she was hiding away in her car in a parking lot.
