"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
The smile on Levi's face was evident. He couldn't believe that his devious plan actually worked. He was expecting Angus to have caught up with his twisted plan by then. But the fool had played right into his trick and all he had to do now was sit back and win the next land without any stress. Life couldn't get better!Angus couldn't stop sneering in Levi's direction. The boy was small but he had a cunny mind. He has met an opposition like him before and he wasn't afraid to play dirty. "We can take solace in the fact that we have one land, at least," Susan said, trying to make lemons from lemonade. Even when she knew very well that it would only spur him on to want more. "We are not taking solace in such disgusting fact. I came here to win and embarrass that boy and I will do just that." "How do you plan on doing that? We don't have enough money to go up against him and I am sure he still has tons packed in his account for this. How will you possibly win?" Susan knew he had a stack
Levi almost gasped when he heard the amount being placed on the land. He turned to look at the moderator and he saw a smile on his face. He knew that the land was less expensive than they were bidding but his excessive need to win did not allow him to stop bidding with Angus . He kept the battle up, desperate to be declared the winner after everything. Levi immediately marked his face. He would have to dismiss him as soon as the auction was over. The one thing he did not like in his staff was greed and it was obvious that this man was full of it. "Do you know that guy's name?" Levi asked Steven. "No, but I do know that he will be getting his sack letter this week." Levi, hearing what Steven said, turned rapidly to Steven. He saw nothing but anger in the guy's eyes and he remembered why he loved him so much. He had the same mindset as him and hated the same things he did. That was why they were able to work together so well. He knew he could trust him because he wanted the same thin
