"Watch where you are going old man!" While walking around with his nose up in the air, Richard bumped into a man and his documents fell to the ground. He immediately shouted at him. "Oh it's even you!" Richard added. "You know, you shouldn't be here. This is not a place for people like you. Your company will never amount to anything, so if I were you, I would just leave and never come back." "And who do you think you are to talk to my father like that?!" A young man said. It was Ivy. "And why won't I talk to him like that? Oh, do you really think that he is worthy of being here? Your company is pointless and you can never be among the likes of us. So just leave." "It is your own company that has no worth..." Ivy was about to fire him back with words when the father held her back. "Ivy, come on. This one isn't worth our time. Let's go," the father said and dragged her away. "Yeah, you better leave and don't come back. Stupid people!" He exclaimed. "Dad, do you know them?
Richard looked at his son with pride. He couldn't believe that he raised such a strategic and fierce young man. "You know what son? I say, let's go for it. What's the worst that could possibly happen? At the end of the day, we may even get the contract." "Exactly. All we need to do is keep our head low and wait for him to come down. I'm sure he is going to give a speech. Then after the speech, we can reach out to him and try again. Trust me dad, that proposal is too good to be ignored by him. We will surely get that contract today." "I know, son. Here, let's get some drinks to celebrate our victory," Richard said and together with his son, they went to go get drinks. Unknown to them that Steven still had his eyes on them. His eyes only left when he heard his phone buzzing. Picking it up, he realized that it was Levi. He picked immediately. "Come to my room," was all Levi said before ending the call. "Steven," Levi called out once the young man entered his room. "Yes sir." "
Levi stepped back into the hotel with anger brewing in his eyes. His friend was maltreated because of him. He knew what it felt like to be maltreated and he never wanted any of his friends to go through that but Jake had just endured that cross and it was all his fault. "Levi, you need to calm down," Jake said when he noticed how angry Levi was. "I just hate the fact that you had to go through this." "I know." "Let's get you cleaned up," Levi said and they headed to his room. Mr. Steven saw the anger in Levi's eyes and he shivered. Turning to the guards, he yelled, "You! Blondie," he said and walked closer to the man. "I want you to pack your bags and get out of this place. You are fired. If I come back outside to see you here, trust me, I will ensure that no company ever hires you again. Now get lost!" He shouted and went back inside. His actions did not stop him from shivering. Levi was not in a good mood and he knew it. It would be disastrous if he did anything that woul
"If I may ask, what is the name of your company?" Levi asked, curious to know more. "It's Landmark Realty Group," Ivy answered. "Landmark..." Levi's hand found his chin as he paced around, thinking. "I don't think I have ever heard of a company like yours," Levi said and continued thinking of when he could have said no to their company. "Well we are a new company in the market and that is why we are trying to get this contract with Corsair Real Estate. It will go a long way in helping our company to scale up." Levi saw reason with them and he smiled. "Maybe I can help you out," he said softly, causing David to burst out in laughter. "That is very nice of you young man but I don't think you can help us here. We need the president to sign this document." "I understand, what I am saying is..." Levi did not have a chance to complete his sentence because he was rudely interrupted by a dark haired man in a navy three piece suit. He looked like trouble, smelt like trouble and s
How could it be him?!" The drink that Ethan held fell to the ground. He couldn't believe his eyes. Susan gasped as she saw Levi mount the stage. Her mouth could not close as shivers ran down her spine. "What? Do you know the new president?", His father looked at her weirdly." The new president is your friend?" He asked with joy."Uhh,I..."Susan mumbled. She didn't know how to tell her father that the thing was just on the contrary of what he thought...Ivy stood up as she saw Levi mounting the stage. "Father..." She turned to David,who's also looking at the stage with his eyes wide open. That young man is the new president! That means their company would survive!His hands were shaking uncontrollably,with tears in his eyes. And Carlos, as he looked in astonishment as the young man took his seat,the first thing he wanted to do was running away at once. Never in his wildest dreams could he believe that the poor boy he saw could be a big shot.He's screwed... "If you can all ha
"Susan, look at him. Now!" Her father all but commanded. Maybe if he knew what Susan did it would help her to better understand why her daughter was behaving in such a way but he had no idea about the terrible things she said to Levi at the bar and he couldn't relate to why she was so embarrassed. When her father realized that it was a fruitless battle, he turned to Levi and said, "I am so sorry about this. I wanted you to meet her..." "Why?" Levi interrupted. "Is she beautiful?" "She is gorgeous!" Her father said without hesitating. "Well then I want to see her. Raise your face young lady," he spoke. "Come on now Susan, Mr. Strauss wants to see your face." Susan's heart was overjoyed. Maybe she hadn't totally ruined her chances with him. Maybe she still stood a chance to make him hers. With a soft blush on her face and a cute smile, she raised her face to look at him. Levi sighed when he looked at her. "Huh, I am disappointed in you, sir. You told me she was gorgeous but f
Ivy didn't understand what had come over her. She couldn't stop her face from heating up and her brain from thinking about the kind of impression she was making. She didn't want Levi to think that she was only blushing because a multi millionaire was talking to her. She never cared about money. Hell, she never cared about men but there was something about Levi that kept drawing her to him. It was a pull she didn't know how to resist, one she didn't even want to resist. "Thank you Levi," she said softly, avoiding his gaze. Levi smiled. "Mr. David, I don't mean to be rude but can I steal your daughter for some time?" Levi asked. "Of course. As long as you bring her back in one-piece." "Oh I will certainly do that. Enjoy the show." Levi said and walked away with Ivy. "So, is there a reason why you wanted to steal me?" Ivy asked as she placed her hand in his and walked. "Well, I was hoping to get you some drinks and then learn more about you." "That sounds like a wonderful ide
School always felt like a battlefield, especially when Levi knew that he had more important responsibility outside the four walls of the institute that he had to go to everyday. "Levi, are you there?" He heard his uncle's voice through his phone and quickly realized that he was on a call with the man. "Yes uncle. I can hear you." "Where did your mind go just now?" "I'm sitting outside my school building. And I am contemplating a lot of things right now." "Things like?" "How stressful it is combining school with work. It's a bit too much." "Oh dear. I apologize for the stress you are going through. Do you want to quit?" His uncle asked "No. No, I can't do that. Who will I be if I start quitting just because something got tough. I just need to pull through this. I will be fine." His uncle was happy to hear that. He loved the fact that he was resilient. It reminded him a lot of his brother "You sound just like your father. I love the fact that you are strong and resilie
