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
Miles waited with a cold face as the waiter left to call the manager. A few seconds later, a man with gray hair showed up.“Sir, this is the pathetic man who threatened me into calling you. I was practically bullied, Sir.” Eden raised an eyebrow. “Well, maybe my friend here wouldn’t have had to insist you call over your manager if you had done what you were supposed to do.” He turned to the manager. “Your waiter was very unprofessional in the way he regarded my friend here. Perhaps, you should consider getting a better hire.”Bruce nodded his head. “I second that. I also witnessed your waiter being utterly rude to my friend.”The manager didn’t look like he was in a good mood as he looked at Miles, checking out his outfit thoroughly. “Your outfit looks quite legit, but I doubt it’s real.”Fiona laughed. “Of course, it’s not real. How would such a poverty-stricken man like that be able to afford the real deal?”Lesley became curious after hearing this, so she whispered to her mother.
“Mom, what if we’ve been missing the clues this whole time?” Lesley suddenly turned to her mother.Fiona shook her head. “What do you mean?”Lesley’s face held fear. “I’m saying, what if Miles is not the worthless, poverty-stricken, loser that we all thought him out to be? What if he was the one secretly pulling the strings for all the miraculous achievements that our family had been enjoying for a while now?”Fiona held her heart in shock as she dropped back down to her seat. “It can’t be, right?” She whispered out.At Styleon Group Corporation,Fiona was finishing late again. This had been the case ever since she started her training as a Sales Director. Edmund Porsche had been intentionally brutal on her with the tasks, but Lola knew he was acting this way with her because he was afraid that Lola would be a better Sales Director than him. The more time Lola spent with the man, the more she realized how pathetic he was. Since then, she has done every work demanded of her with dilige
Miles turned to Eden with an ominous stare and he smirked at him. “All I can say is that I’m the opposite of everything my in-laws described me as down at the base floor. I’m the opposite of that and more.”“And more,” Eden repeated the last two words with a warm smile at Miles. “I’m shocked; I’m also beginning to doubt if I truly knew a lot of things about you back when we used to be roommates.” He turned to Bruce who wouldn’t stop eating. “Hey, aren’t you also curious about Miles?”Bruce looked up from his meal to glance at Eden with innocent eyes.Eden raised an eyebrow. “Or did you actually know the real Miles this whole time?”Bruce glanced at Miles before shaking his head furiously.In reality, Eden didn’t know Bruce that well. The man had only lived with them for less than a month. It was after that month that Eden had to leave the country for a while.What Eden didn’t know was that Bruce was actually a subordinate to Miles and was the big boss of the underground world in the c
