Lucas looked at Miles with his head raised high. “Um, I want you to speak to Lesley on my behalf. Ever since things went crazy at that old man’s birthday party, she kinda blocked me on all social media platforms. I really miss her, and I think you’re the next best way back into her heart.”
Miles had a confused expression on his face. “Hold on! Let me get this straight. After the Blaine family basically found out you were a fraud, just like I warned them multiple times, they finally threw you out of their life. Worse, Lesley doesn’t want to be with you anymore. Now that you need a way back into her heart so she can forgive you, you came to me for help.” He waved his hand in Lucas’s face. “Hello?! Do you still realize who you’re talking to right now? I’m the same trashy poverty-stricken man you used to look down on all the time. Or have you forgotten you said these things about me?”Lucas raised an eyebrow at Miles, not looking apologetic in the least. “Look, I’m notLucas didn’t care if he was being too loud. “You should be grateful that I even considered talking to you, and offered you money. Aren’t you the same broke-ass man who has disappointed his entire in-laws?”Miles turned around and glared at Lucas. “Lucas, get lost already. Can’t you see we’re in a calm environment? Behave appropriately or be excused out.”“You want to buy a car? Are you serious?!” Lucas burst into laughter as he pointed a finger at Miles. “How can you afford anything here?! Listen here, just because you gave Mr. Jonathan a jade box that turned out to be priceless doesn’t mean you can delude yourself into thinking you have any money. Everyone knows you bought that item for $5!”The female worker who had wanted to guide Miles heard everything and she began noticing that Miles's outfit was very cheap. She scooted away from him with a frown. She berated herself for not realizing that this man was poor.“Hello, Sir, if you’re not really here to buy any car, I would have to
Lucas didn’t stay long after he witnessed Mike buying the $12 million car.When Miles and Kelsey got home to Lola, Kelsey was in the best mood.“Mama, I missed you!” Kelsey ran into her mother’s arms, hugging her tightly. “How are you?”“Mama is doing well, baby!” Lola smiled brightly at seeing her daughter.“My love, you’re home. It’s nice to see the office isn’t holding you up like before.” Miles walked over and hugged his wife before kissing her.“Ew!” Kelsey shrieked and she quickly covered her eyes. “You have a kid here!”Miles and Lola giggled at Kelsey.“Mama, mama! You won’t believe it but Dada bought me a car!” Kelsey began to describe how beautiful the car looked and how much she truly loved the vehicle. She was an innocent kid who wanted to share this piece of good news with her mother.Lola’s smile faltered as she turned to her husband. “Miles, you bought a car for Kelsey? How much is this car?” Miles nodded his head. “Yeah, we went over and bought the car. She would need
Miles was surprised when he entered the bedroom to find his wife crying her eyes out. “My love, what’s wrong?” There was a deep frown on his face as he rushed over to her side.“Honey, I’m confused right now. I just don’t know what to do.” Lola rested her head on her husband’s shoulder.Miles rubbed a soothing hand up and down her arms. “Why don’t you start by telling me what happened? Let me be your relief tonight, so let it out.”Lola took in a deep calming breath before she began narrating all that happened; right from when she was forced by Edmund Porsche to take on the impossible task of getting the contract deal with Eckre Empire Headquarters, up to where she recently found out that Edmund has shamelessly taken all the credit for her hard work.Miles smiled warmly at Lola. “I understand how you feel and you have every right to be in this mood. But don’t forget that the contract deal was registered under your name when you accepted it. That is something Edmund can’t change. Soone
Once they got to Eckre Empire Headquarters, the two went to the large foyer to talk to the receptionist. Once this receptionist confirmed them, they were led to the floor where the project manager was waiting for them.Once they got to the designated floor, they quickly found the room and the project manager waiting for them. With a huge smile on his face, Edgar introduced himself to the project manager. Edgar didn’t bother introducing the sexy lady he brought with him, and the project manager also didn’t bother asking about her name.“It is so nice to meet you.” Edmund couldn’t help but gush slightly. “I never thought that Eckre Empire Headquarters would finally accept the contract we had failed to get approved.”The project manager smiled professionally. “Of course, it wouldn’t have been possible if Miss Lola Blaine hadn’t presented us with some impressive presentations. I was really impressed with the way she delivered the introduction to the proposal back then.” The man began gla
Lola was surprised at what she just heard. “Mr. Porsche?!” She had to be sure it was him she was talking to, so she checked the caller ID once again. “Mr. Porsche, please, slow down. What is going on?”“Miss Blaine, I am currently at Eckre Empire Headquarters with the project manager you secured the contract deal with.” Edmund was at a corner of the meeting room as he whispered into the phone. He glanced back to the couch to find the project manager looking quite impatient. “The project manager has refused to start this meeting without you. He was speaking through gritted teeth. He hated that he had to beg Lola, of all people, for help. Alas, he had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, he would ruin this contract deal and might even have it canceled. “I need you here as soon as……” Edmund wasn’t sure what he was hearing as he listened to the sudden beep sounds coming from the call. Lola was no longer on the other end of the call. “Did this woman just hang up on me?”Meanwhile, Miles
Eden Raven, the same tall and muscular man who was old friends with Miles, stood before the very man in a gatekeeper's outfit.“What’s up, Buddy?” Eden replied with a smile before spreading his arms to look down at himself. “Yep! It’s me. Actually, the day you met me here, I lied when I said I was simply here to drop something for another company. I actually came to apply for a job. Since I don’t have much of a qualification, I could only get this job.” He looked down shyly. “I guess I was too embarrassed to tell you about it.”Miles sighed as he put away his sunglasses before holding Eden’s chiseled face with both hands. “Yo! We’ve been the best of friends for so long, and yet, you’re hesitant to tell me things honestly just because it’s been a while? Tell me, do you still consider me a friend?”It was quite a funny sight as Eden’s face was squished between Miles’s palms as he nodded. “You don’t even need to doubt that.”“Good, then.” Miles nodded his head as well. “So be honest with
Fisher glared at the two in their feet, not even bothering to offer them a seat. “You two should be utterly ashamed of yourselves, as I am ashamed of you both as your superior. Do you know that those apprehended security guards have confessed?” Without a request for explanation from either of the standing men, he opened his laptop and turned the screen to the two men.Fear gripped both Edmund and the head of security as they watched those security guards confessing that it was all Edmund’s plan, and he had been working closely with the head of security guards to incriminate Miles and have him locked up for the rest of his life. They then also confessed that Edmund was also behind the slander dealt to Lola – the false rumor about Miles giving his wife to Fisher for power.The two men couldn’t even say anything as they fell straight to their knees.Edmund looked at Fisher. “Mr. McCall, I’ll have to plead with you to let this matter go. If you do this, I promise that I can talk to the hi
Before either Edmund or the head of security guards could retort, Miles walked over to deliver a brutal slap to the head of security guards’ face. The older man groaned as he wobbled to the side. The pain on his face made him furious and he balled his fist as he turned a heated glare at Mike’s.“How dare you slap me?!” He suddenly got up on his feet and he aimed a punch at Miles’s face.Miles saw this coming and he quickly swerved to the left, avoiding it without much expression on his face. He then held the man’s wrist before delivering a ruthless punch of his own to the man’s stomach. The head of security guards groaned out and hunched over the punch as he felt extreme pain rush through his abdomen. He fell right back to his knees as soon as Miles let him go.Miles looked down at the man now on his knees. “I dare you to attempt another strike at me.”The head of security guards cowered as he scurried behind Edmund with fear. He had no idea Miles was this strong. If he had been told
