"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. "
Levi did not like how comfortable Angus was getting with him. He felt like the man had something up his sleeves. Something mischievous, if he was very correct and nothing about it sounded even remotely nice to him. "Now, if you don't mind dear friend. I am going to find my way back to my seat. You have a swell time now," he said with a smile and left the room. Immediately, he left, Levi sighed. "Can you believe this guy?" He said to Steven. "Yeah, he must be crazy if he thinks he is going to get you to be friends with him," Steven added. "It's not just that. He actually believes that we can be friends and I know that he means something else by that." "How do you mean?" He asked "Well, let's not be deceived here. Of course he wants something else. That man is trying to threaten me and I won't allow him to do that without any damages." "Or could it be that he just wants to be friends with you?" Levi turned abruptly to face him. "Have you not been listening to me say that this m
"It's weird if you keep looking at her like that," Steven said, drawing Levi's attention to the deep gaze he had on her. "I know," Levi snapped out of it. "I just can't get this feeling that she is up to something off my back. It really feels like she is up to no good, can't you feel it?" "No," Steven chuckled. "But I can feel the different pair of eyes that are on you right now," he stifled a laugh while trying to look straight. Immediately, Levi looked around and he saw the faces that were staring intently at him. He could understand why he was suddenly the center of attention. He invited half of the people in the room and he was becoming oddly famous in town, no wonder everyone wanted to get to know his gist. Slowly he kept his face straight and tried to push to the back of his mind, whatever it was that Brittany was doing. Placing his focus on the moderator, he heard the young man say "...sold to the fine gentleman in the third row to on the back. Trust me, you are going to m
