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
Chapter 141 Meanwhile, at the Grand Hotel, Lucy rolled her body as the morning sun shone through the windows, alighten the whole room. The bright morning sun shone through her eyes which caused her to slowly get up from the bed. She yawned, stretching her body, “It's morning seven o'clock already and I'm still sleeping. Oh, lazy me.” She got up, and remembered what happened last night, “Michael? Oh, no. How could you be sleeping up to this time, Lucy?” She yelled at herself. “I need to hurry up and go meet him, I know he must be resting, relieving himself from the stress last night.” She thought and quickly entered the bathroom, washed herself, brushed up, took her bag, and went out after turning off the lights. Lucy headed straight to room 010 which once belonged to Michael. As she stood in front of the door, she brought out a perfume bottle and spread herself with it one more time before knocking on the door with a composed demeanor to impress Michael at first sight.
Chapter 142 Immediately, the receptionist received the unexpected slap; she screamed in pain, “What's that for?” Her anger rose but as a worker, trying not to paint the hotel's image bad, she held herself. But she called out to the security guards in pain, “Securites, come take her away!” Her voice dripped with pain and anger. Within a minute, security guards rushed in. The receptionist then yelled at them with command, pointing at Lucy, “Get her out of this place now!” With a nod, the security guards gripped Lucy’s wrist firmly, dragging her outside. “Leave me! Let me go, you brats!” She yelled at the security guards, trying to break free from their grips but failed. “Ah! She was not only a prostitute but a lunatic. Oh, mine.” The woman who had made the mock comment earlier said, hitting her forehead. “You? Just be quiet!” Lucy glared at her with so much hate. She tried to attack the woman but the security guards’ powerful grips didn't let her. Finally, the securit
Chapter 143 The man turned and looked at Michael with a disdainful expression. “You stench, what authority do you have to interfere in my affair with….?” “Enough!” Michael cut him off, his words firm. His face also darkened, “Eat your breakfast and get your pathetic self out of here!’ Ella quickly interjected, walking to Michael, “What are you doing here? I was trying to call you not to come over. Please, you have to go before my Boss comes down.” Ella urged Michael to leave. But the customer interrupted, angry, “How dare you call me pathetic?” He blasted. “I can see that you want her to lose her job, isn't it?” “Just shut, your mouth stinks!” Michael shot back, “Besides, you're just a poor thing who can't do anything.” “You dare call me that?” “Yes! And what can you do?” “Enough, Michael! Stop it!” Ella stepped in, trying to make Michael not talk harshly to the customer knowing that his action might cause her to lose her job. “He's one of our customers and you
Chapter 144Just after Ella finished unwrapping the package, she staggered back, “Gold jewelry?” She muttered in shock, looking at the sparkling and mind-blowing gold jewelry. Her eyes blinked as she stared at it and her eyes shifted to Michael, “A gold jewelry? Where did you get it from?” She asked.Michael smiled, “From a jewelry store, of course. Where else do they sell it?” He asked.Ella wore a frown. She said, “That's not what I mean! My question is where did you get the money to buy it?” Her expression was filled with startlement.Michael was about to respond to her but then, the onlooker started to talk.“Oh, wow! That's the most expensive gold jewelry in a jewelry store.” One man said, “I took my wife to buy her that exact type, but the price was somewhat frightening, so I have to leave it and get her the silver jewelry instead.” He added, his eyes were wide open, envying the gold jewelry. “As for me, I have no intention of going to the jewelry store any time soon.” Another
Chapter 145 Immediately the sales clerk asked that the doziness that had earlier formed in Michael's eyes were driven away. Michael frowned his face but later on, smiled with the thought that the sales clerk might have probably forgotten his face, maybe since she attends to numerous customers. He maintained his comportment and explained himself, “Don't tell me that you don't remember me.” Michael smiled slightly, “Anyways, I'm the guy who bought the gold jewelry. I made a transfer, and it was successful, but you said you didn't see it. I then made use of my ATM card.” He explained everything to the sales clerk briefly, unaware that she was putting on an act and that she vividly remembered him. “You were even the one who suggested that I should give you my number so that you will call me once you see the money.” Michael continued and then paused, “Do you remember me now?” He asked. However, the sales clerk stuck to her fake act, “I don't know what you're talking about.” S
