Leo finally chuckled and walked into the closet. The sound of the closet doors closing made Heaven release her fingers. She heaved a sigh of relief and fanned her face which was practically on fire. Her eyes shot up at the air conditioner. Huh? It's on so why is it so hot in here?**** Somewhere in the city... The shady part of San Francisco_ "What the hell!? Are you really sure about this?," A voice thundered from the shadow... The streets were exceptionally quiet with only the sound of the stray cats in the neighborhood resounding every now and then. The man in the mask rested against the dirty walls of the alley, trying to hide his disgust. His eyes trailed around the darkness for a while but he finally gave up when he couldn't find the person he was searching for. It's too dark anyway. "Yes," This time, his voice sounded gruff. "They are planning to make that boy the head of the family. The audio tape from the CCTV footage never lies, does it?" The second, anonymous man guff
Heaven frowned, revealing her discomfort. Why won't this annoying sound go away? She tried to reach out for a pillow and discovered that she was pinned down by something or shall I say someone? Her frown deepened and she opened her eyes. Realizing that someone was knocking on the door rapidly, she yawned slightly and tried to get out of bed. That's when she noticed that she was being held down by Leo's arm. It was as heavy as a log of wood and wouldn't budge no matter how she tried to lift it. Besides that, she could feel his body plastered against hers! She gasped lowly. He... He... He actually dares to cross his boundaries and cuddle her like this! She tried to move, struggling slowly but suddenly came to a stop when she felt something stiffening behind her back. She could feel the hardness from the way it was poking her. Realizing what it is, she blushed. She didn't dare to make another move in case that thing tears out of his pants! But the knocks wouldn't stop. They even in
"Uhmm... Uhmm," Heaven struggled to get some words out but her mind wouldn't budge. It simply went blank. Mae's round eyes looked at her curiously, patiently waiting for an answer. "No one," She finally answered, in a rush. "I clearly heard the sound of a door being closed now and you are..." "Do you wanna hangout with me today? I... I'm so lonely and bored. I feel so depressed," She suddenly cut off Mae's sentence, playing the pity cards. The reason why I mentioned pity cards is because the pitiful look on her face really made her look so depressed and the sad expression tugged Mae's kind heart strings. "Yes, of course. That's the reason I initially called," She seemed to have forgotten the conversation they were having just now. She didn't even notice the look of relief on Heaven because it only appeared for a minute before it quickly faded away. "I don't want you feeling all depressed and thinking too much. But, is it okay for you to go out now?," Mae's voice lowered and made
"With four votes, it has been concluded that Mr Greene won. So Mr Greene Miles will be our next chairman!" Jake gulped and held the door frame as he watched the middle-aged man in the middle of the conference room announce the most absurd news he has ever heard. How could these groups of greedy old wackos elect someone that isn't even part of the directing board? Someone that has never been part of the directing board! He glanced outside the room once again hoping to catch sight of his boss this time but the empty hallway entertained his eyes. He sighed in disappointment and looked away. If the boss doesn't really show up today, he is surely going to lose the company. It's even worse that he as the assistant can't do anything to assist his boss. But with Miles in the board meeting and others, he isn't in a favorable position to counter their decision. Who would have thought that Miles would even show up? "But Mr Greene isn't even part of the directors!," Jake heaved a s
"Grandfather, why are you still on the seat? Kindly stand up," Leo appeared to be pissed off but he tried to control himself. After all, this is Miles... Miles Greene, brother of that kind-hearted man, James. The least he could do to honor the dead is to show some respect to his brother even if the man is undeserving of his respect. Ever since that welcome party James threw for him at the family house, he had sensed some kind of animosity. Not towards him only. He had sensed some kind of animosity from Miles and his family towards Heaven, Victoria and James but he had immediately dispelled the thoughts. Why would someone show that kind of hatred towards his own brother? But now... Miles' action has proven to him that he might not be entirely wrong about what he felt at that party. Your brother had just died. You should be mourning him not trying to steal away the company from the person he left in charge! Shouldn't you show some trust to your brother? At least, he wouldn't have ch
Jake snickered as he looked at the old men. Have they no shame at all? They were all supporting Miles just now before Leo arrived. But his powerful demeanor has scared them all to make them want to switch sides huh? Jake glanced at Miles and couldn't help but feel a premonition with how calm he was. This old man won't let Leo have his way easily will he? Gulping slightly, he looked at his wristwatch and peeped out of the room again to see if anyone was in the hallway. At the sight of the empty hallway, a huge frown appeared on his face. "Why isn't he here yet?," He mumbled slowly. "Alright then. Let's have another voting session," Leo's loud voice drew his attention. The directors heaved a sigh of relief. But some of them couldn't help stealing glances at Miles who hasn't uttered another word since Leo started selecting out the directors. Would he really let this juvenile Ceo win? But just as Jake thought, immediately the directors agreed to organize another voting se
Heaven adjusted her sunshades and walked into the restaurant. She wondered why Mae asked her to come here. Is this place supposed to cheer her up or what? But the moment she walked into the seafood restaurant, she understood why. She sucked in a deep breath as she took in the beauty of the restaurant. The interior design is familiar to her because she's the... Nevertheless, she never got to see the result so now staring at the beautiful interior design of the warm and bustling restaurant actually made her feel less tense. What more? The restaurant is by the sea side so those that get to sit by the window side also gets to experience the water movement. Glancing at the number on her phone, she headed to a table and was pleased to discover that it's actually by the window side. As she made her way to the table, she didn't notice the way heads turned, following her movement till she sat down. There weren't alot of people though since it's just mid-day. She was just about
Heaven ignored her and looked around, wondering if it's alright to remove her shades and scarf as she really isn't in the mood to answer paparazzi questions now in case there's one lurking around the corner. "Nah... Nah... Nah, just keep that on. I brought you out here for a nice, relaxing lunch not to be bombarded by hungry reporters," Mae warned as if she already sensed what she was thinking about. She resisted an urge to roll her eyes at this statement. Why not just book a room for them alone? "I just thought it would be less depressing with the presence of others here," Mae answered again if she had just read her mind. "Would you quit doing that?," Heaven snickered with a fake frustrated look. Mae chuckled again as a waiter headed to their table and collected their menus. His eyes stayed a minute longer on Heaven before walking away like he didn't want anyone to catch him staring. His actions didn't escape Mae's eyes because her smile grew wider. "Shouldn't you two ti
