The security quickly took out their weapons and darted them towards Edwin, Xander, Alaric, and Tony, shouting angrily, “Get in your trash, now!” “We just want to book a suite and get some rest,” Edwin said, raising both of his hands and smiling weakly. “I have money to pay for this place.” A lousy laugh came from the security as he shook his head, he was a robust, balding guy with rough skin. “Oh sure, I bet you can afford to buy a whole hotel, right? You’re probably loaded or something.” He mocked, shaking his head again, his eyes scanning Edwin from top to bottom. “Wait, I know you! Hey, Zane, doesn’t this guy look familiar?!”Edwin was choked immediately, this is the first time he was coming to Eastcliff. How would anyone know him?"Hey, there's a misconception somewhere, I don't know you. You don't know me.""I remember, he's that guy who once looked into the hotel trash bin for something tangible.""And here he is saying he would pay for a hotel." The two security guards star
The following morning, Alaric, Tony and Xander proceeded to the restaurant. The previous night had been a heck of a journey that everyone actually forgot to eat.Hungrily, the trio had proceeded hoping that Gary would meet with them soon enough. "Give us each One-Pot Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta." Xander had told the waiter but then the duo interjected immediately."We?!" Tony and Alaric exchanged glances. "How will you eat that?""But I thought you both would love lemon! It's actually cool, it exercises your system.""No, no. Not our system, your system. With the level of work on us, we need to eat pretty fine," "So if you don't mind, we will be taking our own order ourselves." Xander declared facing the waiter. "Now for me, get me a bowl of Chicken & Veggie Stir-Fry.""And you sir!" he turned to Alaric."Yes for me, get me… Umm, same thing as him," he pointed towards Xander.All their orders were recorded on a notepad, after which the waiter stomped on his heels and left.There was o
In thirty minutes, a sleek Black BMW arrived in front of the guest house. It fitted into the description Edwin had given, simple and small.It was difficult to attract people with such a car. Anyone who used it could be referred to as middle class. "Hi, I'm Edgar, I will be your designated driver from today henceforth." A young man dressed in a lapel suit against his body, which looked less expensive, walked towards them to introduce himself. Adding to it, he had black long, straight hair brushed together with a bond."Yea, just lead us to our destination. No long talk buddy." Edwin responded and entered the vehicle with the others. Just in a short while, Edgar drove off."Monica, I've searched for those guys. I check for them in their rooms, including the restaurant, but they are nowhere to be found." Aurora arrived at the lobby trying to catch her breath at the same time, holding on to a big paper bag.Monica laughed, still concentrating on the book before her. "If you are referr
"Where are my visitors for 2 pm?" Mr Perry Rowland asked with a serious look."Sir, trust me, they haven't arrived. I made sure I attended to all visitors equally. I made no mistake at all." she smiled. "And sir I'm pretty sure that with what I did today, my promotion is very much certain when you discover."Perry was in no place for her words. Alaric had given the instruction that he would be coming around with a very important visitor.He knew Alaric, they had met on video call several times but not physically. Alaric was the face of the Carlos conglomerate he knew.Since Alaric had said he was coming with a very important person, he couldn't guess who it was but then he very well knew that he needed to be prepared.He went for the elevators when it was ten minutes to 2 pm since Alaric had given the time 2. Only to discover that he hadn't arrived.Perry wondered if it was some sort of test, therefore he decided to make a call.****"The moment it's 2 p.m, make sure you give the vice
"Tony says he got some information," Edwin said to Alaric in the vehicle."Really! I hope that kick starts something because we've already met with a dead end." Alaric voiced hopefully.Edwin's face was glued to the window while he pondered upon what Perry had earlier on said."Alaric! What do you think about the Ageism company? I mean DEON?!" His expression was serious.Alaric sighed slightly, then he said. "Boss, I feel there is more to whatever is happening. I've never in my whole life heard the word Anti-ageing. Those goddamn people are trying hard to recreate what really doesn't exist."Edwin wasn't getting the answer he needed. A part of him felt like a whole that needed to be filled. Therefore, he kept his eyes closed till the vehicle came to a halt right before their apartment."Tony! Tony!" Edwin proceeded towards Tony's room only to find him before his system, together with Xander."Tony, what did you see? What info have you got? Because everything is really out of hand her
Edwin hastened towards the door immediately and then proceeded towards the vehicle.Thank goodness, he had been able to learn driving during his college days, and now it's giving him an edge.He at first thought he had lost the guy until he gazed a while longer and then saw a red BMW Drive out from the park.Hurriedly, he ignited the engine and then began to drive tailing the red BMW.However, also trying not to get noticed. They drove from curve to curve until the guy drove to a forested path, Edwin on the other hand, still made sure he kept his pace even though he was following him.But then, the worst that could happen showed up.Right in front, there were two intersections, one at the right and one at the left. But then, from both ends, a vehicle each got to intercept the guy's car.He was stuck in between them and couldn't run. Then right at the same time, hefty men alighted both cars with a hefty man as well leading them with the charisma of a leader."Hey, Draco, get the hell
All eyes turned to Edwin immediately. "Let him go, now!" Edwin repeated with a new stance, agitating everyone of them which he could all together count as six, excluding Draco who already seemed half dead on the ground."Who is the kid? Who are you?!" Damon dropped his gun inquisitively with a creased brow."You wouldn't want to know me, you wouldn't wish to feel the heat of my anger either. So LET HIM GO!" Edwin still spoke softly, both hands in his pocket while spoke.However, Damon wasn't easily intimidated, he took it as quite an insult to see just one person put a stop to him and his gang.Immediately, he pointed to his men one after the other. "What are you all waiting for, take him down, this minute."While he stood behind observing the fight, he allowed his men, go after Edwin.Edwin, a lithe and enigmatic figure, stood poised at one end, his eyes focused on the five hulking thugs who loomed before him. Their bulky frames cast long shadows on the worn cobblestone ground. Sub
"Lord Shawn, we just received news that the company's shares are also falling. Shareholders are backing out and the board of directors are seriously on the edge with complaints." Cole was quick to tell Lord Shawn upon their arrival at the company after receiving a quick call."Likewise, all the companies we sent a proposal to for partnership, rejected us.""What about Carlos Conglomerate? Don't tell me they did reject us too?"Cole didn't know how best to break bad news to the old man, all he had in his file that morning were bad reports, and he feared for the old man developing high blood pressure, but then he had to say it.All along, he had always advised that Lord Shawn hands over the COO position to one of his kids, but Lord Shawn had always stood his ground, insisting that none of them were wise enough to handle the responsibilities of the family company."Cole, tell me something. Don't you dare give me bad news as regards the Carlos contract. Remember we pursued this immensely,
