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
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
