Chapter 133 Galp! The gang member and the bodyguard, including Don Scott, were shocked. The two of them vigorously shook their heads. How could they slap their Boss whom they respect and fear so much? By the side of Michael, Lucy, who was now convinced that Michael had some kind of hidden power that she wouldn't bother to know about now, yelled. “Do it! Slap him now!” There was contempt in her voice towards Don Scott. Her words alone vividly showed how she hated that notorious man. Michael joined in, furious. “I said slap him now if you don't want to see the other side of me!” Hearing that, Don Scott's legs jiggled more than the previous. He knew that it would be better and safer for him to receive the slaps than to allow Michael to deal with him in his way. Thus, he shouted at his bodyguard and gang member, “What's still stopping you? Slap me now!” He slapped them. Out of annoyance, both the bodyguard and the gang member in unison landed tight and resounding slaps
Chapter 134 Back inside, after walking for twenty minutes, Michael and the staff member arrived upstairs; Michael couldn't help but admire the beautiful, grand design of the place. The door that he saw was beautifully painted black. “No wonder, the price per night is something else.” He nodded his head in approbation. “It's worth the pay.” He muttered to himself. Not that it was his first time going to sleep in such a luxurious place but he was the type who admired some things. “Here we are, sir.” The staff member said, snapping him out of his thoughts. He gestured his hand to the door and added, “Here's your room. To be able to enter your room, you just need to place the access card that has been given to you right here.” He pointed to a modern and sleek, silver pedestal next to the suite entrance. “You may proceed.” He stepped aside, allowing Michael to get close to the door. With the access card placed on the spot, the door automatically swung open, revealing the opul
Chapter 135 The waiter was surprised and shocked at the same time, he smiled, “You don't have to do that, ma'am. You're a guest here and I'm a worker. This is my work and not yours. You don't have to help me, I'll get it done.” However, Lucy insisted, standing firmly on her words. Her tone was not shaky but commanding, “I said give it to me, I'll take it to his room. Just give it to me and go and attend to some other things.” “But….” “Don't worry.” Lucy interrupted the waiter sharply, “I insist that you give it to me, you won't be fired for this.” She reassured the waiter, and to soften the whole thing, she dipped her hand into her handbag, brought out a dollar note, and cunningly put it into the waiter's pocket. “I think that'll serve.” She smiled at the waiter, who remained silent, perplexed, while this lady was acting the way she was doing. “Now, hand it over to me!” Lucy added, her voice full with command and it was as if she just used charm or loved eyes on the waiter who
Chapter 136 “Are you still annoyed with me?” Lucy's voice came from the other end, sounding remorseful. She continued without allowing Michael to say a word, “I'm sorry for everything.” “I was never angry at you in the first place.” Michael interrupted, “Just have a nice rest, good night.” He abruptly added and ended the call. He sighed after the call, then made use of the landline telephone, sending a call through, and within twenty minutes, a waiter came in, gathered the dishes, and left the room. “Good night, sir. Have a wonderful rest.” He said to Michael before leaving. “Thank you,” Michael answered him with acknowledgment. He then turned on the TV and watched an Indian Drama, but slowly,y, he fell asleep. Meanwhile, the morning broke at 5 AM still inside the Grand Hotel, Michael rolled himself on the bed, and his eyes slowly opened. He yawned, stretching his body, and sat on the bed. He looked at the clock and saw the time, “It's morning already. I need to go ba
Chapter 137 “Under arrest? What for?” Michael frowned at the policeman who had said that to him. “You have every right to remain silent or whatever you say or do will be used against you in the court of law. Arrest him!” The policeman turned and said to his counterpart. “Bring forth your hands, sir.” The other said to Michael, ready to handcuff him. Michael was perplexed, he hesitated but gave them his hand. After binding his hands together, the policeman ordered, “Please, follow us. You'll get to know about everything when we get to the station.” **** The Chevrolet Tahoe car finally arrived at a spacious area, which was painted gray intermediate between black and white around 6:30 AM after an hour and thirty minutes drive. The door was opened, and Michael was brought out of the car. He looked around the car and saw different kinds of people, coming in and going out. Policemen with different ranks walking to and fro in the place with files piled up in their hands. Incl
Chapter 138 The policemen's mouths opened in extreme shock, unable to dilute their saliva as it hung on the surface of their tongues. “Mr. John Lewis?” Steve muttered. All of them were aware of the power that John Lewis held; they were also fully aware that he was the CEO of the Golden Group of Companies before someone whose identity they didn't know stepped into power in replacement of John Lewis. But why was he here? Did he in any way relate to this man in their front? Thoughts upon thoughts kept running in both the policemen's and Steve's minds. Quickly, Steve transported himself and bowed before John Lewis, “Good morning, sir.” The policemen also hurried and did the same. John glanced down with a frown expression, “What has my boy done to you that you have to arrest him?” He asked, his voice sounding calm. “He's your boy?” Steve raised his head, looking at Michael who crossed his arms. “I swear, sir. I didn't and never knew he was your boy. Are we mad to touch him if w
Chapter 139 There was some short silence in the car as Michael scratched the back of his head before answering, “You're right. However, I still have some unfinished tasks that need to be tackled.” “Hmm,” John only let out a shallow breath and didn't say anything. They both became focused as the car drove. Suddenly, a notification from Michael's phone broke the brief silence that once filled the car. He brought out his phone and read the message. After reading it, he slapped his forehead, “Oops, how could I totally forget that today is her birthday?” The message that Michael had just received was from Ella, who was only reminding him about her birthday, not because she was expecting anything from him. “Driver, please, stop the car!” Michael called to the driver and the car gently stopped. He turned his attention to John and said, “Please, you can move on. I have to be on my friend Ella's birthday.” He came down from the car where there was not much crowd. “Ella?” John
Chapter 140 The sales clerk was surprised and slightly frightened at the same time. She looked at Michael who demanded for the account to be paid into without him complaining about the price like other clients had always done. As she was lost in thought, Michael snapped his finger at her, bringing her back to the world, “Hey, the account details, please; I have somewhere that I'm going to.” He said with a light frown. “Oh, I'm sorry.” The sales clerk feigned a smile. “430 362……” She began to call the account details to Michael and Michael entered them swiftly and carefully. He entered the amount immediately after the sales clerk was done calling the account number and pressed the money to the account number. “Have you seen the money?” Michael asked the sales clerk who shook her head in response. “No, sir. Let's wait for it. I think it's a network issue.” She said, and Michael only sighed, annoyed with the fact that the network had always been his issue whenever he was try
