Thank you very much for reading my book.
Lucas braced up and breathed in some fresh air before knocking on the door right in front of him. Knock! Knock!“You can come in whoever is at the door.” A deep masculine voice responded behind the door. Lucas waited for some minutes without pushing the door open just as how James had commanded him to come inside. “I said you can come inside. I don’t have any private meetings going on right now. So, at least feel free to come inside just as how I’ve instructed you to open the door.” James addressed the person behind the door with a harsh voice and this time around he was serious. Lucas hearing the tone of James' voice pushed the door and exclaimed, “ Surprise!” his hand was thrown up into the air waiting for a hug from his long-time friend. James picked up the file he had kept on his desk earlier on and flanged it on Lucas's face in anger, “How dare you do such a grievous thing to me, Lucas?” “What excatly are you talking about, James?” Lucas held onto his face so tight. “You st
“Fuck! I knew that Alex was a competent fool but I just didn’t want to agree with my instinct at all.” Lucas blamed himself for his mistakes. “Now, take a look at where your foolishness has landed you, Lucas?” “James, I had no idea that it would result in this at all. I thought Alex was competent enough to deliver and believing that he works for him made me believe him that he will definently execute the task.” James crossed his legs and listened to him as he was speaking, “As you believed in him and his competence. Have you seen where it landed you?” he eyed him. “James, I know that I have fucked up big time, and here is the time that I need you right now.” “You can’t be serious at all, Lucas. I wasn't there when you strategically planned everything with your Mr.Alex so how come you suddenly need my help all of a sudden.” “James I know that you are smart enough when it comes to dealing with issues like this and I can boldly beat my chest to say that you have a solution to this
“Huh? Did you say anything at all to me?” He blinked his eyes as he spoke to her. “Wow! From your actions, I can tell you are not interested in the little conversation I'm trying to make with you.” “Not at all, Precious. How would you say something like that? I'm interested in everything you have in store for me to hear.” “Really?” Mason nodded his head affirmatively, “Yes! I'm ready to have more conversations with you.” She stared into his eyes with a side eye, “But, why were you lost in your thoughts?” “I was only thinking of the meeting we are going to have in there and how we are going to make it work out.” He lied to her without moving a blink in his eyes. “Are you sure Mason? I can't see the conviction in your eyes at all. You are making me feel as if I'm the one forcing you to do this with me.” Mason paused for a while and turned to her, “I'm not forcing you at all, Precious. You are just overthinking things and the more time you work with the present the better for yo
“What you heard me say is the truth and I know that you are being pained right now, Louisa?”“You must be foolish to think that I’ll be pained for saying something as foolish and unreasonable as that.” she jerked him off with her shoulder.“Why then are you so pained that I got to tell you the truth in your face?”She pointed her finger on his face, “Jason, mind your business and learn how to stay far away from me.”“And, what if I don't stay away from you? What will you do to me?”“I hope you know that I don't like talking too much at all, Jason.” She took three steps backward from where he stood. “That's not an excuse for your stupidity, Louisa. You just keep fooling yourself around that you know exactly what you are doing. But, do you want to know the truth?”She looked at him from his head down to the toe, “Do you think I'll ask someone like you who hasn't had a perfect three square meal to tell me the truth? One thing about you is that, Jason you think you are someone of importa
Mason and Precious hurried straight up to where Jason and Louisa stayed. Mason seeing that Jason's eyes were almost half dead quickly rushed over to where Louisa stood and pushed her away. Jason fell on the floor with his eyes half closed while he tried his best to catch up with his breath. “Precious, go get him water before he passes out,” Mason ordered her immediately while pinning Louisa on the floor. “Will you get your stinky self out of my body? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?” She struggled to let him stand up from her body. “You should be the one ashamed of yourself, Louisa. Why do you keep bullying people every time? Do you think you are the only one that has the power to control everyone in this company?” “See, who is talking? Why would a shameless girl like me be ashamed of myself you rascal? Will you get up from my body or are you trying to seduce me to fall for you?” The moment Mason heard the words seduce he stood up from her body, “Now, I can see that you are
Louisa wasn't happy with what just happened between her and Precious. She never believed that a day would come when precious would take that bold step to ridicule her in the presence of anyone. So, she rushed to where Precious had gone and pulled her back into the office room. “What the hell has gotten into you, Louisa? Why can't you allow me just to be instead of you running after me at every given opportunity you got?” Precious cried out to her. Louisa leaned closer to her and licked her lips slowly before responding to her, “There is nothing wrong with me at all. You should be the one asking yourself that stupid question you just asked me.” “I think I'm done with having this conversation with you and as you can see it's almost time for the meeting so I don't mind leaving here so that I can go ahead to prepare for the meeting coming up anytime soon.” Louisa chuckled at the sound of Precious's voice, “If at all you want to go for the meeting in a prepared state I'll advise you
“Do I have to place a bet with you before you know that I meant what I said in my words?” He stood up from the chair and looked her into her eyes. “It's only a coward that speaks like this and from the way you speak I can see that you are a coward.” “Louisa or whatever you are being addressed as I want you to know that I am not a coward like you. You don't have to behave like one before I know that you are a meaningless coward.” “Jason you don't have to go through the corners and change the narrative to why we are both having this discussion at all. If you know that you are not a coward then let's place a bet.” “You want us to place a bet?” He asked her one more time to seek her confirmation if she was being serious with him. Louisa eyed him from her head down to her toes, “Do you think I'm playing at all? Or, do I look like a joker to you? I don't like repeating my words at all but to show that I'm being serious with my words this is me telling you that let's place a bet to see
James leaned back on the chair trying so hard to picture what was going on in Lucas's mind, saying that he knew the best solution to eradicate the error he had caused. “See, Lucas, I'm tired of this constant silence coming out from you. Do you have anything meaningful to say or not?” James couldn't hold it anymore so he decided to ask him a simple question. “I was thinking of the solution in my mind and all honesty, I don't know how you would react to it that's the major reason I've been holding it back to myself.” Lucas finally admitted the major reason why he has been keeping quiet for too long. “Really? Is that all that you have to say right now? After I waited for over thirty minutes while you were being silent just to get this from you.” James reacted to his obnoxious excuse. “James, I'm trying so hard to protect our friendship and the solution I have in my head right now sounds trespassing.” Lucas cried out loud to him. “And, do you think I care if it will ruin our fri
