Archie headed to the restaurant after talking to Bailey. He wanted to fill in the space for a very long time. "Do you know what time this is?" Paula, a coworker asked him. This was the second restaurant that he was working in."I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. I guess the traffic was too hectic and that's what happened." He replied.Paula nodded, "Hmm, is there a reason you should resume at this time and still have the guts to look calm while at it?" She replied and he stared at him. "You should know by now that there's nothing wrong with having all the time in the world but sometimes when we manage to have a slice of the time we manage it. Am I saying that I was right for resuming at this time? Obviously not, but we shouldn't waste extra time deliberating this, right? It doesn't make any sense at all. With all due respect ma'am." He added.Paula stared at him, she had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to fire him and he just presented it. She would gladly do that. "I do
Archie arrived at the front of the room. The guard stared at him wondering why he was feeling. "I don't think that you are welcome here." the guard replied. "I was invited, its urgent, I don't think that you should delay me." He snapped, not really having the time to banter words with anyone. It was very obvious that there was nothing. Is there anything that you want made me to do for you?" The guard stared at him, "you can't fly over the fence can you?" He replied."Do you think that you can stop me? Kindly open the gate. Who the hell asked you to stop me?" Archie replied, he didn't want to banter words with the middle-aged man."You are not welcome here. The younger Lockwood said so." The guard responded. He was only following orders because he had been warned seriously. "I don't want to change anything, right? I don't want to also disturb you from doing the right thing too but you need to let me in." Archie replied instantly.There was no way that anyone could be able to change
"Married? Have you forgotten my age?" Archie repeated in surprise. "No, I've not forgotten your age. That's the only way you can solidify your position. If Ryder does that before you, I'm sorry to announce to you that you might have to step down, despite being the one who has been appointed to be on the seat. It's just one of the things that happens in business. If you're unmarried, then you better be sure of stepping down."Archie sighed and shook his head. He could feel it in his bones. "I see what you mean and I won't even try to change the mentality, I guess that's what is in the open now. It's very crazy and annoying at the same time. I can't seem to wrap my head around it, at least not now." He replied.They stared at each other and Simon wrapped an arm around his neck. "I believe that you would do great things with this position but you have to be very careful. You're graduating in what? Three months? You don't need any scandal whatsoever attached to your name. It's going to b
The men turned to stare at Ryder who was smirking at them. They didn't know that he was busy eavesdropping on their conversation and that made him amused. Very amused for that matter. "I see that you've suddenly gone mute. Simon, of all people, it's a pity that you're trying your hardest to make my life miserable in my father's house. This is annoying and I don't think that I can work with that at all. This is very strange. Now, I'd be frank with you." He replied then shrugged right after. A short wave of anger welled up inside of Simon and he felt like smacking the pompous ass. There was a very good reason why he wasn't always concerned with this man. He always felt like the world revolved around him which was quite the opposite. It didn't make any sense to him at all and he wasn't going to change it. "Why don't you come off your high horse and see that life doesn't revolve around you?" He replied and Simon stared at him wickedly. "Are you sure that there's nothing wrong with you
Archie was very weak and his hands were beginning to droop close. A pair of footsteps ran toward his direction, causing Simon to look away. The attacker used that opportunity to stab him in the neck and jumped over the fence.Simon kicked into action and caught the young man before he hit his head against the interlocked ground."Ryder, get me a car. We have to take this boy to the hospital!" He yelled, expecting that Ryder would do that Ryder pretended to freeze and stare at the pair, Simon was busy trying to make the bleeding stop while also being frustrated. "will you get the hell out of there and do what I asked you to do? What the hell, man?" He replied and Ryder saw that this tactic wouldn't work out. Then he ran away to the other side and waited till there was no one coming from the other side and just instead, rested a bit against the wall, laughing out to his heart's content. They thought that they were wiser than him but didn't know that he was all in all in very wise.
Archie opened his eyes when he felt a droplet on his skin. He blinked as he tried to understand what was happening to him. 'Where am I?' He thought but had no sufficient answer. Images were blurred and he was feeling distorted. Something was not right. What was happening to him? He wondered."Kindly wake up, Archie." The unmistakable voice of his girlfriend hit his ears and he was instantly alert. This made her jump. "Are you awake, Archie? You know what? I'll call a doctor right now. I don't want you to relapse." She replied and hurriedly took off. As soon as she turned to the right on the corridor she saw a doctor walking out and she heaved a sigh. "Thank God I met you. Archie has woken up. Can we go see him?" She inquired and he stared at her before handing over the tray to the nurse beside him."I'll be seeing Mst. Archie now. Kindly bring more trays." He instructed, the nurse nodded and went her way. This was going to help out in making sure that he received first aid whenever
Marshall stretched his arm across the room as he stared at his trusted servant who was also staring at him like a deer caught in headlights. "Explain what is going on right now, I don't think I follow."Simon's lips trembled when he saw his boss. Who had tipped him off that he was here with his son? That person definitely wanted to cause chaos. That was the only explanation that he could give because he was feeling very scared."I-I'm sorry, sir. I was just about to call you right now. It's..." He pointed but was unable to say anything tangible. This made Marshall angry."Are you trying to tell me that my son was involved in an accident, yet you refused to call me? This happened when?" He inquired."It happened a few minutes ago, sorry at night. I was going to call you, trust me, sir." He spoke, trying to reassure his boss.The doctor coughed, alerting both of them of his presence. "I think you can come back to that later but right now, we need to take this boy into the scan room to se
Archie's mother stood right at the door staring at the duo who was looking at her lost for words. "I need to have a word with you." She told Marshall because she didn't want to fight him in front of his worker. Marshall sighed and followed her wordlessly. Simon was impressed at the woman's astounding patience, he commended her for not making a fuss about something that could be settled calmly. "Now, I'll ask again my dear friend, why is my son on that table? I heard that he suffered some injury and whatnot which I don't quite understand, so you have to save me from making assumptions. What do you think?" "What I think is that, there's no way that I will lie to you. I am also surprised that he's in this state. I only woke up this morning and heard the news that he was here. It was Simon who brought him here, he's the best person to tell us what really happened. Simon." He called right after.They didn't say a word instead he saw that there was probably a problem somewhere which he
