Miles was quite pissed by the comments he was hearing going on in the security guard section. How did this rumor even start? Who was spreading it around the company to the point that security guards are now making fun of the issue?If this rumor had only been about ridiculing Miles, the Creek heir would have never been affected. After all, he was the son-in-law of a family that thrived off of berating and humiliating him at every given chance. What Miles couldn’t take was that his wife was being insulted in such a manner.“What the hell is Fisher doing? Is he really that incompetent of a company manager?” Miles whispered to himself. These security guards were having a good laugh when the door was suddenly kicked open and every one of them was shocked to find Miles walking in.Miles looked at the faces of these security guards. “Who said those utterly nasty things about my wife?” The room got quiet as the men in security uniforms looked at each other with hesitance. Even though he wa
Miles was deeply confused after the head of security confirmed his question with a head nod. Miles wondered how someone from the finance department could be this irresponsible with the company’s money. He needed to talk to Fisher McCall about these inadequacies in employee competence. If this is not curbed on time, it will lead to problems in the future.“Have a nice day,” Miles said his goodbyes to the head of security. He needed to talk to Fisher.“Wait!” The security suddenly stood up as he glared at Miles with suspicion in his eyes. “Something is wrong.”Miles had a confused expression on his face. He had no idea what was going on.The head of security lifted the briefcase to show Miles what was in it. Miles walked closer to see that the briefcase was truly filled with dollar notes. That was when he noticed that there was a small space that had been made in the box. There was supposed to be money in that space.“As you can see, the money isn’t complete.” The head of security had a
“Put away that phone. Do not call the police, got it?” Fisher McCall spoke sternly to the head of security. “As for these two, I’ll resolve the issue. They’re coming with me.”The head of security could only give in with a nod of approval. This was his superior after all. Fisher led Miles and the finance personnel out of the security sector and they took the elevator up to the floor where the company manager’s office is located. Once they were gone, the head of security suddenly had a look of anger on his face. “Damn it! We almost got him.” He then retrieved his phone and dialed a number. “Sir, I’m calling to give you feedback on that operation.”The person at the end of the call was Edmund Porsche. “Talk to me, Head Security. Have you arrested that bastard, Miles” He laughed with a dark tone in his voice. He was alone in his office, sitting behind his desk with a sinister expression on his face. “I can’t wait to see him in jail.”The head of security couldn’t help but scratch his h
Fisher was surprised and he felt like something weird was going on. “How did you suddenly find the missing money?” The head of security struggled to calm his nerves. “I decided to double-check at that elevator where Mr. Miles had found the briefcase. It was there that I found the money at the back of the large plant pot near that elevator. I’m guessing someone must have accidentally kicked the briefcase open and the money had flown out.”Miles fought the urge to shake his head at this. It was clear as broad daylight that this head of security was lying. Miles began to wonder who was really responsible for this charade. It was quite certain that someone had set him up with that briefcase and the missing money. Miles was also smart enough to realize that this finance personnel was also paid to make him out as the thief. Otherwise, it made no sense that a man he had never conversed with would suddenly accuse him of robbery with so much certainty. The head of security dropped the briefc
The tall and muscular man turned to see who had just called me. “Miles?! Miles Creek is that you?!” His confused face morphed into a bright smile before he rushed over.Miles laughed out as he also rushed to meet the man with a solid hug. He tapped the man’s back. “It’s been a while bro! I didn’t expect to see you here at all. What are you doing here?!”They ended the hug and they looked at each other to make sure they were physically alright. Both men are about the same height, but Eden Raven is a bit more muscular than Miles.“Look at you, Miles! You’re looking sharp! Damn, this suit looks expensive!” Eden Raven smiled brightly as he recalled his friend’s earlier question. “I came here to deliver a signed contract with another company.”“Nah, don’t bother about this.” Miles waved off the compliment about his suit. “Are you leaving right now?” He got a nod from his friend. “Awesome! I was on my way out as well. Let’s catch up.”The two then walked out of the gate. Miles had decided t
Miles didn’t expect that Eden would jump into the fight for him; this was his fight after all. Still, he was very happy seeing that his friendship pact with Eden was still being upheld. They promised to always have each other’s back no matter what.Miles smirked as he felt vigor rush through his body. He then joined Eden as they beat down these armed men mercilessly.Theo Good smiled with pleasure when the thirty-six armed men he brought with him bombarded Miles and that friend who had joined him. His smile soon faltered into shock though, as he saw both Miles and Eden take down his men even though they were outnumbered.“No way! How is this possible?!” Theo didn’t like what he was seeing. Back at the antique store, Miles had called in the three underground kings to handle him, so he had assumed that this man couldn’t fight. Now he could see how wrong he was.Unknown to Theo Good, Miles and Eden had trained heavily in various martial arts like Taekwondo, Kung Fu, and Muay Thai. Theref
Miles led Eden to the restaurant and Eden was shocked when he saw that the establishment was a very expensive one.“Dude, are you sure about this place?” Eden looked at Miles with slight worry. “I’m not sure if I can afford it.”Miles smirked at his old friend. “That’s okay; just leave it to me.”It was then that a man approached them. “Oh my goodness! It looks like neither of you guys have aged a day;”Eden and Miles turned their gazes to find a slightly shorter and pudgy man heading toward them. “Guys, it’s me, Bruce Daniels!”“We know!” Eden and Miles chuckled as they shook their heads.The three men came together and exchanged hugs and pleasantries.Bruce looked at the restaurant. “Woah, Miles! This is where you want us to have dinner? I’m sorry, my guy, but I’m not sure I can afford even the cheapest meal here.Miles clapped each hand on Bruce and Eden’s backs. “You guys shouldn’t worry about this. Let’s just go in and have an amazing night already.”Eden and Bruce still weren’t
Fiona scoffed. “If you have enough money to come here, then why aren’t you using the money to take care of my daughter? She has done so much for you, yet you’re still such a loser. If you truly love her like you claim, then she shouldn’t be suffering this much.”Miles froze as he heard this. He couldn’t say anything because he felt like Fiona was right. Even though, in reality, he had never spent the money earned by his wife on himself, his wife and her family were certain that was where he was getting his money from since he was jobless.Miles took what Fiona said as a piece of advice he should keep at heart rather than take it as an insult.The awkwardness in the air was getting thick when a waiter showed up.“Good evening, Sirs.”' The male waiter greeted Miles, Eden, and Bruce. “Are you here to reserve a table to dine tonight?”Both Eden and Bruce stared at Miles, leaving him to answer since he brought them here. After hearing everything Fiona had to say to Miles, they got even mor
