"What are you doing here?" Jake asked as soon as he reached their table. "Oh," Brittany chuckled. "I just came out to meet my friend. You know it has been such a long time since I last met her and I just wanted to catch up since I learnt that she was in town." "Wow. That's really great. So how about you introduce me to your very beautiful friend," Jake said with a grin on his face, making Brittany to sigh. "Oh, I wouldn't get any ideas if I were you. You see, she is already taken. Yeah, she is married. Which is why she doesn't stay around." "Oh I have been recently divorced," Sasha said, standing up. "Hi. I'm Sasha," she extended her hand to Jake to shake and that smile that Brittany hated so much was still plastered on her face. "I'm Jake and it is a pleasure to meet you," Jake said with his eyes fixed on her. Brittany could tell that he was already falling for her tricks and he could not allow that to happen. "What? How could I didn't know about this?" Brittany said, trying t
"Jake, you are back." The rising of the sun still met Jake coming back home. Levi was surprised that he was actually back on time. Normally, he was the type who like to stay out till late. According to him, he enjoy the outside view better than the inside but he was so jealous that he did not like to share it would people. Which was why he was still single. "Yeah, I knew this was important so I decided to come back early.""Well, I just say that I am happy about that. Here, come in now. We need to go over what we will be doing. Let me go wake Brittany." "Oh she is back already?" Jake asked. "Yeah. She is." "That's nice. I was actually thinking that she may want to stay with her friend for a while longer but I guess not," Jake commented. "You met her friend," Levi asked. "Yeah. She is a really nice girl. Its so sad that she just got divorced though." "Really? Well that's interesting. She did not mention that you ran into her." "Oh, maybe she was just so tired to do so. Why not
"Took you long enough," Levi commented when he saw her approaching the palour."A girl needs to ensure that she is looking good at all times. Now," jumping into bed, she said. "What's this meeting for?" "Well, Mark is supposed to brief us on what we will do tomorrow. Plus, we are to meet with the men he hired so that we can get acquainted with the ones assigned to us." "What do you mean by get acquainted with the men assigned to us?" "Well, I mean exactly what I said. You can't actually expect me to allow this slide, can you? I need to ensure that you guys are safe at all times. And this simply means me ensuring that you all have bodyguards assigned to you.""You do know that we are not the one in danger right now, don't you?" She asked. "You are all in danger at the moment. Listen, if we are going to be able to succeed in this, then we will need to look out for each other and I can't allow myself to be distracted because I feel like you guys are not safe. Which is why I need to e
"This all looks like a very good plan Mark. I must say that I am highly impressed with it." "Well you are most welcome. And if you need any further information on what to do to or if you want to change anything, you can just let us know now." "I don't think I have anything else. But I do hope that my uncle is going to be protected from all these drama. I hope he won't be available when all of these is happening. I need him to be safe and watched over at home." "Yes, I totally understand your fear and I will personally ensure that your uncle is at home. I have also allocated five men to watch over him during this period so that nothing happens to him.""Can I also get the same protection for my mom?" Brittany asked. "And for my family as well?" Jake added. He did not trust Susan to not have men watching over his family and be ready to take them out if something bad happened at the event and he would not allow that to happen. "We already thought of that. We know that we are dealing
The event started by 9:00am. Levi walked into the room, dressed handsomely in his two piece suit. His hair was properly combed and his dressed, ironed. He smelled like wood mixed with a pleasant morning coffee. As he walked by, everyone could tell that he was a man who had a lot to be grateful for. He carried himself with so much poise and elegant, not caring about anybody's opinion. It would not have mattered what they were saying anyway. He looked so magnificent that they couldn't have been saying anything other than compliments. It wasn't like before that people had reasons to look down on him. Now, there was no reason for such. He had it all. The height, the rugged handsomeness, the money, the elegance. He had everything that would ensure that no one spoke terribly of him. And he carried himself as a man that knew his worth. Maybe that was what made the men stare in anger. Not only did he dress like a royalty, he knew how to carry himself as one. And he couldn't deny the fact
Levi knew he was probably getting himself into more trouble than he would be able to get out from. But his senses also told him that Dustin was at that event for a purpose. Especially since he did not invite him and he was going to make sure that he figured out why he was there. "Lead the way," he said with a coy smile and watched as the young man walked towards the bar. He could see his bodyguard following his every move and he sent a silent prayer to Heaven that Dustin would not notice it as well. But even if he did, he would not be able to change what was about to happen. "Won't you place an order?" Dustin asked. "Bartender!" Levi called out after giving Dustin a stern glare. "Good evening sir, how may I be of help to you?" The bartender asked softly. "Get me a glass of champagne for this man here and I will have a glass of water." "Coming right up, sir." The bartender took a bow and left."Such modesty. Why are you drinking water and only that?" Dustin asked. "Are you rea
"If you know what is good for you, I would advise you to take your hands off me," Levi looked at him with a death glare. "I'm sorry but I can't let you leave without a good feedback," Dustin had a threatening tone to his voice. "Look, I am desperate for help right now and you must help me. I must get what I came here for." Slowly it dawned on Levi that the man truly did not change and he never would. If he could comfortably command him when he was supposed to be begging, then he was still the pompous and proud man he knew. "Dustin, I owe you nothing but with the way things are looking, you will soon owe me an apology and if care is not taken, you will owe me some time in jail. Now, respect yourself and take your hands away from me." "And what happens if I don't, huh?" He threatened. "Look, you are so petty. All I am asking for right now is a bit of help from you. I won't even be doing much, seriously I won't. I just want you to give me a job. Is that such a bad thing to ask for. L
"What?" Mark tried to feign ignorance and hide the look on his face but his eyes had already been seen by Levi and he just couldn't hide it anymore. "Okay, what is going on? And don't you try to lie to me?" "I am not lying to you. Listen, I have an itch in my eyes. I am sure that is what you saw and you begun to assume that it's something else." Levi took threatening steps toward him. Finally, he stopped and said. "Now, listen here. I would not have you insult me this way by lying to me. So if you know what is good for you, I suggest you start telling me the truth and I don't want to hear anything else other than the truth."It would be embarrassing to say it, yes. He may even lose some manly points he had in front of LeviBut to Mark, Levi's trust was more important than anything else and he any small thing could make him lose it. He was not ready to lose any. "Okay, fine. I was a bit jealous that it was them to got to protect you from such impending harm and not me. I mean, it'
