Chapter 160 “Philip.” He accepted her handshake with a smile without hesitation. Jennifer didn't let go of his hand, “That's a nice name.” She paused and added shyly, “You look handsome.” Philip smiled and said inside of him, “Me that was looked down on, cab driver before Michael changed my life a few hours ago.” He smiled inwardly to himself before thanking her. “Thank you. You look more than beautiful.” Philip reciprocated in his normal kidding tone before pulling his hand slowly from Jennifer's warm hand. Jennifer blushed at the compliment, “Thank you. Do you live around?” She asked, slowly getting attracted to Philip. Philip, seizing the opportunity, decided to lie, “Yes, I just came back from the United States from a business trip and to have some rest here, you know. Working can be so tiring at times and one also needs some break.” He nodded and replied. “United States?” Jennifer felt her heart pondered inside of her. “You're right. Sometimes, taking a break from
Chapter 161Michael looked at him and chuckled before turning to the saleslady and cashier who wanted to frown, “Since he's taking that, you know what to do, right?” He asked and then said, “Remove some cut from what I sent to you and settle it.” They nodded, and the saleslady nodded and had the trousers that Philip had taken fixed inside of the other and handed them to Philip. “Thank you so much, sir. We would love to have you around next time.” She said, smiling.Michael nodded with a smile and took the bag from Philip because of Morgan who was still looking at them. Philip was puzzled by his action but remained silent. They both took off their heels to leave and as they headed outside, Michael gave Morgan a piercing glance and mumbled with anger inside of him, “I'll make sure no company employs you, so you'll learn some manners.” With that, Philip and he got outside, and seeing that all the ladies were no longer there, Philip heaved a relief breath, saying, “Thank God, they are
Chapter 162 Meanwhile, on the road, going back home, Fred and Michael were engaged in friendly talks with a piece of low-toned music playing inside the car. “Why did you do what you did inside the store? Taking the trousers that way was the weirdest character you have ever developed.” Michael smiled. “That? That's just the smallest of what I do.” Philip laughed. “Besides, they didn't work for it. Free $500 in this current situation of the country? Ahh, it's too much when people are dying in the hospitals, going to beds with hungry stomachs due to no money and you expected me not to act like that? Oh, come on.” Philip playfully said, Michael was silent for minutes, finding reasonable points in what Philip was saying. Indeed, records show that over 300 hundred thousand people died daily as a result of lack of money. Philip continued, causing Michael to think deeper, “I'm not saying you did anything bad by gifting them $500 each but all I'm saying is if there are people who ne
Chapter 163 Jennifer was silent for a minute, looking downwards, thinking of what to say to make Morgan bother less. She then looked up, her voice firm, “Call him now? Come on, baby. It's already too late, so tomorrow will be better to do this.” Morgan looked at her, feeling betrayed and frustrated, “Why not now? It's not that late.” He glanced at the alarm clock that was on the table close to the bed, “This is just sharp 7:00 PM.” He added. Jennifer shook her head, standing stable on her words, “This isn't the best time to do this, Morgan. Don't worry, I promise that I'll call him and talk with him tomorrow, okay?” She said softly, touching Morgan's beard. Morgan still wanted to persist but Jennifer's touch automatically made him forget his words. He swallowed hard, and replied, “Okay. But please, don't forget.” A faint smile played on his face before he stood up and added, “I'll be in the living room watching TV.” He left with his glass of water without waiting for any r
Chapter 164 Meanwhile, inside a dimly lit sophisticated room with a scented odor. A man who was neatly dressed in a black suit with a brooch placed on it was seen pacing up and down in the room with a furious expression. He clenched his fist and angrily threw his phone onto the bed, slumping on it also. “Who was that fool? And how dare he talk to me that way?” He echoed, his heart hitting faster with rage. He then tried to steady his voice, “Has Philip grown to the extent of handing his phone to some bastard to talk to me that way? And what gave him the nerves?” His eyes flashed with disbelief. This was the man, the owner of the car that Philip was driving as a Chauffeur. And to think of it, Philip had always been one of the humblest people among all the people who were driving for him. “Oh, because I'm letting him see some money to feed himself that gave him the guts to do that?” He nodded his head and a wicked smile crept onto his face as he stood up. He called Philip's
Chapter 165 “Why? Why should I leave the man I love?” Jennifer retorted her father's words, sounding angry. All this time, Morgan was still there, looking surprised and shocked, confusion washing all over him. He wasn't hearing what Jennifer was discussing with her father but her actions and replies were beginning to make him feel uncomfortable. Noah cleared his throat and explained softly, “Jennifer, it's not that I'm against your relationship with him. From the picture that you sent to me, it's clearly stated and instructed that no company, both small and big, should employ this young man that I'm seeing.” Jennifer squeezed her face, looking confused, “What do you mean no company should employ him? And by whose order was such law made? And why?” Noah, trying to steady his voice, said, “I don't know the reason why but the law was made by the newly elected anonymous president of the Golden Group of Companies.” “What?” Jennifer was startled. How did the new president even
Chapter 166 Philip raised an eyebrow at Michael, “What do you mean by I know him?” He asked, “You're rich yet you don't know him. How will I know him then?” Michael, still wearing a smiling expression, said dismissively, “Don't worry, you will get to know when it's time.” Philip was silent, looking at him with dull and heavy eyes. He was slowly feeling sleepy, his eyes growing dim. He then managed to say, “Whatever.” He stood up and taped Michael's shoulder, “I need to sleep. Good night.” “Alright, have a nice rest,” Michael responded, also sensing his eyes going heavy, intending to sleep too. Without any more words, Philip walked out and slammed the door behind him. The next day around six o'clock, the morning broke at a sophisticated building with a spacious compound. By the left side of the house was a blue canopy accommodating two sleek black and red cars. Inside the living room of this house, a man was spotted, sitting on a sofa, looking through the door, and seem
Chapter 167Philip was startled, hearing that. His hand vibrated for fear, causing the glass of coffee to fall from his hand to the ground.Michael took a sharp look at him, “What's wrong, Philip? Is he the man?” He asked.Philip nodded, opening his mouth to answer but no words came out from his mouth. He then stood up as a group of officers walked into the coffee shop.“Here's that bastard!” Noah said, eyeing Philip with contempt.“Hey, you can't call him that!” Michael intervened, warning Noah. Noah glanced at him with a surprise yet furious gaze, “And who are you?” “I’m his brother and I won't…..” Noah interjected, “So, you're that bastard who had the guts to speak to me over the phone that way?” He moved to grab Michael but the senior officer interrupted, feeling belittled.“Mr. Noah, with all due respect, sir we won't tolerate this act of yours. We are here and you can't take laws into your hands.” He said and turned to Philip.“Young man, you're under arrest for trying to ru
