"I think I'll have to start going now, James. You need all the time to yourself and most importantly you still need some strength to gather before you head over to the hospital." Lucas pulled himself out of the conversation as he thought about everything James had said earlier. "Do you plan to go to the police station to see him?" James asked him with so much concern. "To see who?" He asked him because he didn't know exactly what he was talking about and who he was referring to. "Who else is in the police station if not Alex? Don't you want to see him anymore?""Well, I didn't say I don't want to see him neither did I say I will see him. I just want to head back home and clear my head a little more before I conclude what exactly I want to do." he gave him a tangible response leaving James to think more about his actions. "Lucas, I believe you are an adult and I know you know the right thing to do. So, I'll leave you alone and allow you to make a decision by yourself." Lucas glanc
"Why are you trying to be negative this time around, Rachael?" he asked her with so much desperation in his voice. Rachael shrugged him off her shoulder, " This isn't about me being negative or not, Lucas. This is about me protecting my name so that I won't be seen acting like a chased dog.""Oh! Wow! A chased dog?" He repeated her words back into her ears. "Yes! A chased dog. I don't want to be left stranded over there when you practically know that you won't be showing up.""But, I just told you some minutes ago that I'll fulfill my promises by taking you on a date.""This is the same thing you said countless times but you still didn't show up nor fulfill your promises. I want you to make me believe that you will fulfill this one." She pressed the words down his throat trying her best to hold him accountable for his actions."Fine! Since you want proof so bad. How about you wait until I pick you up for a dinner date? Don't go to the location yourself I'll pick you up myself. Is t
"Let me be the judge of that, Aunty Margret. At least we should try our best to embrace positive thinking instead of trying to look at the other side of not getting what you desire." He responded to her with a smile on his face. She bowed her head, "Yes sir! I've heard everything you've said and I'd love to return to my position."Andrew made way for her with his hands directing her to the exit door, "Please feel free to use the door while I join you in a jiffy.""Thank you, sir." She bowed her head one more time and excused herself as soon as possible. Andrew watched her leave the room with a bright smile on her face as he thought about all that she had just said to him. "Alex, I know you've proven to me over time that you are a stubborn person who doesn't smuggle his way out to make certain decisions but I wish you could accept my offer and set yourself free so I can deal with the person that used you as a clickbait." He moved his mouth silently to himself as if he was talking to
"Excuse you?" The young lady raised her head even though she was frightened by Precious presence she didn't tend to show it to her. "You heard me right, didn't you? But, since you've decided within yourself that you have a low intelligence quotient and you lack retentive memory I'll try my best to repeat my words." She cleared her throat and straightened up her head looking directly into her eyeballs. "I heard everything that you and that little thing that just walked out of this door were discussing about Mason.""How is that any of your business? What happens to respecting people's privacy and not chipping your nose into our affairs?" The young employee tried defending herself as she spoke to her. "Oh, wow! See who is talking about privacy when she didn't respect ours? Listen and listen very good to me young lad, I don't want to banter words with you but take it from a sweet spot in my heart sweetheart." She rubbed her hands on her jaw. "The next time you say nasty things about
After driving for over an hour and thirty minutes the driver finally arrived at the police station where Lucas had instructed him to take him to. The driver looked through his mirror and cleared his throat before saying a word to him, "Sir Lucas, we've arrived at the police station."Lucas didn't say a word to the driver as he was lost in deep thoughts of what he was about to encounter in there. The driver waited for some minutes without still getting a response from Lucas he called him again. "Sir Lucas, are you there?" His heart was racing a little bit lighter so he wouldn't sound rude to him. He still didn't get a response instead Lucas's eyes were still focused on the people who were passing by and the cars moving steadily. He doesn't even know if he was looking at them consciously or not. "What exactly could be going on in his mind?" the driver thought to himself before continuing with his words. "Is it right for me to touch him so he could come back to his consciousness th
"Do you still want to see him? I thought you would have a change of mind after hearing all that I had just said to you about him?" The detective tried convincing him to have a change of mind. "I'd still love to see him at least let me get to hear a word or two from him."The detective placed her hand on the desk and looked at him with a side eye, "Sir Lucas, If I may ask I'd love to know how you got to know about Alex.""Is this turning into an interview?"Lucas chuckled at her with a suspicious look as he wasn't comfortable with the questions she was shoving inside his throat. "I apologize if my question is making you feel comfortable but I don't mind getting to know the answer to the question I just asked you.""Well, If that's the case then I'll tell you how I got to know about Alex." He scammed through her eyes before continuing his words with his head thinking of the next possible lies to feed her on. "Alex once worked for me and if I must add to it he was once my driver. I to
"What kind of question is that, Lucas?" Alex raised his head staring into his eyes one on one without a flinch at all. "What did you mean what type of question is that? Alex, who gave you this contract? The last time I checked you signed a contract with me secretly and I didn't give it to you as a physical document neither did I share a dime with you so I'm asking you one more time, where the hell did you get this contract from?"Alex shook his head up and down simultaneously as she gave a sonorous laugh, "Your contract? You must be a joker to think I'll take my precious time to look for your contract. If you don't want to be locked in here with me and become my new inmate you better get yourself together and keep a low tone."Lucas hushed down his voice and placed his hands tightly on the desk with his veins showing evidently on his skin. "For the last time, Alex. Who gave you this contract? I want you to look into my eyes and tell me who gave you this damn contract? Do you have a
James turned on his laptop but he couldn't concentrate on the task he had on his screen. All his kind kept thinking of Anna and what she might be going through. He doesn't know if he should go ahead to attack the bar attendant guy who must have drugged his woman or if he should just ignore it. "Damn!" he slammed the desk so hard and yelled out in anger. "I can't even imagine losing someone like Anna when I know that I'm not on good terms with her mother. What would become of me if she heard that her daughter died while in my care? Do you think she will ever forgive me?" He relaxed his back on his chair and spun around in deep thought. "No! I have to be there for Anna. I have to go back to the hospital. I want to be sure that all is well with her." He stood up from his chair and started arranging his files back to his briefcase. Knock! Knock! A sharp knock was heard on his door as he kept being focused on the files he was arranging. "Lucas, you can come in the door is still open,
