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'
"Sir, I have been looking everywhere for you!" Levi heard a voice from behind him as he tried to concentrate on what he would be doing for the day. "Okay, what is going on?" He lifted his face to see his manager, Steven pacing and gasping for breath. He looked like he had been running just to get to him. "And why are you breathing so hard?" He asked concerned. "Well, I did not know that the event was to start a bit later. I thought it was to start now and that's why I was rushing.""Cause you thought you were late?" "Exactly. I wouldn't want to miss an event like this." "Maybe because you know that I will not take it lightly with you. Anyways, you should have just looked at the schedule I sent to you. It had the time there." "Yeah, but I thought that was the time for the event to start. I didn't see that it was the time for arrival." "Well, it is." "But why are you in here instead of socializing?" "I was socializing," Levi lied. The part of being famous was having to socializ
Turning around, Steven was met face to face with the one they addressed as the Viper. He could clearly see that the man belonged to a club that could be considered as illegal. He had a fierce look, a deadly glare and his body was lined with tattoos, the unsettling ones that would remind anyone not to mess with him. And he was walking directly towards Levi. Could he have known who Levi was and what they were trying to do? Did he get a hint that maybe they were trying to ruin him? Steven scattered his eyes looking for Mark. Still, he could not see him anywhere and he wondered how they would get out of it if the man ordered his men to start a fight.Steven turned his eyes to stare at Levi and he found nothing but anger and disgust in his eyes. The young man was always fierce and determined. He never allowed any man to deter or scare him. It was one of the things he loved so much about her." "Does he know about what you are planning to do?" Steven whispered. "No, but I know he is goi
"Sir," Steven whispered, holding back his hand. He could sense that trouble was about to start and Levi was not going to back down. Even when he knew very well that he should. Levi could feel him holding his hand, trying to hold him back from saying the words he wanted to say but the words he wanted to say would leave a dent in the heart of that man and that was exactly what he wanted. He couldn't allow the man to come to him and threaten him at his own event. That was something he wasn't going to allow to happen and worse, he wanted to do it in front of Susan. That would just fuel the woman up some more. "What happened, Mr. Strauss? Cat caught your tongue?" Angus taunted as he begun to think that maybe Levi was backing down because he did not want a fight with him. "Oh no. I am just trying to see the perfect way to tell you that your little woman here is nothing but a slut and a cheat. I won't be surprised if you later learn that she is cheating on you with someone else." Immedi
"How many times have u told you to never touch my chest in public?" He said while squeezing her hand. "Argh," Susan winched in pain. "Please, you are hurting my hand." She said while trying to move out of his grip but Angus wasn't letting go. Levi could see that the grip was strong from the look of pain on her face. "What have I always told you about touching me in public?" He asked "You said I shouldn't be doing it." She answered speedily hoping that he would let go of her hand after she was done answering. But that wasn't the situation. Somehow, she was still made to go through the pains as before. "Please, I am sorry. I won't ever touch you again. Please, Angus my hand," she cried out. "And now you have the audacity to call me by my name?" He said and twisted the hand some more. No one dared to stop him or object to it and Levi did not try to as well. He was happy to see her in pains. After everything that she had put him through, she deserved to have her own dose of hurt. "
