"Yea sure, you do deserve a thank you." Perry smiled, after which he affirmed. "Thanks so much for the push, to take the step of saving my family." He had a satisfactory smile drawn on his lips."It's no trouble, Perry. At least, you do have your family back, that makes me happy. But then…" she paused inquisitively. "Yes, go on, Linda.""Is that your boss? I mean he looks way handsome even though he's unconscious, and he's also h…" her words were cut short when Tony alerted at the top of his voice."Guys, who has seen the news in the media?""What news?" Everyone came around perplexedly staring at Tony. "Oh shit, I thought you should have seen it. Look here," he lifted his gadget such that everyone could see the video displayed."This is it. It's all over the media that some masked men robbed The Loft and the boss is dead. It was caught on live camera.""Then, it worked." Xander declared with a smile. "Yes, it did work, the boss's effort didn't go to waste." Every other person smil
"Boss, I got the guy who ratted you out to the corps.""That's incredible, Kendel." Klaus voiced at the top of his voice just after a brief silence. He wasn't expecting a quick response, but then Kendel had proven to be quite serious about making himself a part of the gang and fitting in."I reckon with your growth in the gang on a daily basis, but I already am proud of you." Of course, that's just what I want you to do. Edwin thought and a smirk formed across his lips. "Kendel, can you provide me details about how you managed to go through this operation successfully? Share your victory with me."."I would love to, boss. A more reason I called for the urgent meeting if you really wouldn't mind.""You are funny, Kendel. What is the meeting for? It's to discuss pressing issues like this, and of course, celebrating victories as well. Although there are some exceptions we make, we do not make it every duty to call a meeting, except, of course, we have ongoing missions." he explained op
"Klaus's trust, check. My name is off their radar, check. What's next?" Edwin said to his men during their meeting in the living room."Boss, how about the gang members willing to check for your background? They know nothing about you, but I feel we need to give them something to believe." Draco suggested."Yeah, a very good suggestion from you Draco. I bet they feel they are oppressed considering the fact that Klaus sticks to my part and favours me more. Let's give them what to believe with my new face. The school I attended, my parents, and everything that would fit into make it real, should be added. Tony, you know that's your job right?""Definitely boss.""Now, I need to reach the K5. Any ideas from anyone?" he threw the question out randomly, running his gaze from person to person expecting an answer."Draco, Alaric, Tony, Linda, Perry, Xander. Any ideas?" He called them according to how they were sited.Everyone shook their heads in disapproval, but then Linda broke the silence
"Why don't we get to pick a regular Tequila? As far as I can tell, Tequila also makes people fall hard." Xander voiced while they sorted for the wine."Tequila isn't bad, but then we want Klaus to feel as though he is respected, then we have to do it this way, getting a unique one. But we would go for a Tequila as well since the boss is about practising drinking."While they were at this, Edwin was on the other side of the rack also listening to their conversation, it was there he did see the need as to why Linda was needed in his gang.Left to him buying a Tequila was what he would have done, but there was some lady giving such candid advice as to the necessity.His phone chimed, it turned out to be a mail from Tony. He knew what it was, but he was quick to open it.His eyes flickered over and over the screen, reading what was sent.It turned out that Linda did have a painful past as well, she was a graduate of Accounting, but then, life had been quite merciless on her.She had lost
"It's time to play my own game," Edwin voiced with a different tone. "I want to meet with the manager of this place right now. Only with him would I decide your fate," he said to the sales representative."My apologies sir. I bet I was only misled, but also trying to do my job.""I'm trying to do my job as well Miss," he responded sarcastically, facing the other sales rep ordering them. "Are you all dunce? Call me the manager or I will do worse here!"Hurriedly, one of them scurried off with shaky feet, Edwin suddenly transformed into a merciless being who was unwilling to give in to whatever was a plea."What now! I wonder what's going to befall this young lady." "I can't seem to imagine it as well. Hopefully, the young man gets to give her a break by showing her mercy." The bystanders felt pitiful towards the sales representative who had gone wrong. However, Edwin had no ounce of mercy for her."I guess we have to wait till the manager arrives before we decide her fate." Another b
"I never said I did. I only take an interest in why that bitch would go to any length trying hard to make the boss look like a fool in the presence of others." Linda said, avoiding gazes while she rushed to the table.She pulled a plate of meal herself and hurriedly began to munch."I just hate it when somebody comes up trying to take advantage when they are wrong."She faced Xander. "Tell me what exactly happened between the boss and that lady. How did the separation happen?" she inquired with a half-filled mouth.Xander as well sighed before he voiced. "She left because the boss was still poor and then she followed another man.""Ha…ha…" Surprisingly, Linda burst into laughter, startling everyone around."It's not funny, Linda." Xander voiced amidst the meal."Yeah, it is. Sorry, I laughed. Isn't it just funny? What century are we where women do not have a work of their own?""Just zip up now, Linda, The boss must not hear you speaking this way." Alaric cautioned."I get your point
"I'm leaving. Considering the way you all behave, it shows I'm not fit to stay here. I would rather return to the club than stick with people who would constantly prick me on my skin with whatever they discovered of me." Linda voiced painfully, also heading to the wardrobe, and hurriedly hurling her clothes into her bags."Hey, hey hey, easy Linda." Xander hurriedly proceeded to stop her, trying to catch every cloth she threw."Just let go of me, Xander!" she yelled again, and this time with a firm tone, however, Xander wasn't giving in. He grabbed her wrist and held onto it firmly. Even though she made use of the other, hitting his chest constantly, Xander wasn't letting go. "You aren't going anywhere, Linda. Everything the boss said earlier on, he never meant it. Trust me when I say he is fun to be with, he is never a man to take advantage of his subordinates."With gritted teeth, she replied to him. "So what if he did learn about my parents? What if he did learn about why I did wh
"What do you mean, the search will be more? What else did you find out? You are obviously coming from Linda's room, so what did you find out in a few minutes?" Alaric asked."Well, first of all guys, Linda lost her parents… Yea, they died just like boss said, but speaking to her and getting full details, I did realise that it was way more than death in a motor accident." While the discussion was going on, Edwin had asked Draco to pour him more shots, and at a go, he had taken two shots. And his visions were somewhat blurry, displaying his subordinates in double."Why are you guys having two resemblances?" Edwin voiced pointing at them."Two resemblances?" They each looked at themselves. "Boss is really drunk… I hope he doesn't puke on the nice floored tiles?" Tony softly mumbled.Draco had equivalently taken four more at a go, and just as suggested that shots would even cause a drug lord to go tipsy, he finally was getting tipsy. "You think boss will be able to do this?" Alaric ask
