"Xavier Wilder. He is a popular gambler who is most wanted by the police for illegal gambling. He has a bad record of bullying and anyone that crosses his path gets into trouble"Milan chews on his pancakes gently as he listens to Mark who had gotten his information on Xavier. "Apparently boss, he is the man in the photo that met with Daniel occasionally"Milan knew Xavier looked familiar but he couldn't remeber him and now it was all making sense. "It seems he was the one who revealed the information about my gambling records to Daniel. Daniel had gone to him to get some information and he decided to join hands to take me down"Milan chuckled. It was all amusing to him. "Yes Boss but I still can't quite understand why he would send those letters. I do not know what his aim was"Milan was as well clueless as to why Xavier had sent him those threatening letters. He poisoned him but didn't kidnap him. Milan didn't also know why he did thatXavier's true intentions were still unknown
"A favour? What is it? "Milan asks, suddenly curious. Xavier sits down and hesitates before he speaks. "I want to work for you"Milan almost spat out his tea but held himself back and raised a suspicious eyebrow at Xavier. "What are you talking about?"Xavier chuckles nervously. "I want to work for you, sir. Any position you can offer me. I will be truly grateful"Xavier's request took Milan by surprise. Milan wondered what Xavier was planning. Whatever it was, it couldn't be good so much that he wanted to work for him. Milan drinks another cup of tea as he ponders on Xavier's request. "Why do you want to work for me?"Xavier looks down at his lap. "Things aren't easy for me. The gambling world isn't for me anymore. I just want to make some money legitimately and most of all…I feel bad about the letters, and I think it'll be best to show you how sorry I am. Please"Milan couldn't help but let out a chuckle. The whole drama was amusing for Milan as it only reminded him of Daniel
Milan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable seeing Xavier dressed in a suit like the rest of his bodyguards. Regardless, Milan put on a blank expression and got into the car. Xavier got into the front seat as Milan's personal guard alongside the driver. "I see you came on time"Milan says to Xavier, who let out a brief chuckle. "Yes, Boss. Once again, thank you for the opportunity, ""Just do your job, right?"It seemed surreal. Milan was seated in a car with a man who threatened his life thrice. The first was robbing him of his money, which turned him to a loser. The next was sending his threatening letters, and the third was poisoning his drink. But Milan had allowed this man to stay close to him. Xavier was capable of murder. It was evident in his blood thirsty eyes. Milan receives a text on his phone and quickly goes ahead to check it. He sees that it is a text from Mark, which causes him to scrunch up his face in shock. The text read:'Boss, i did some investigating and jus
Ariel sends Milan a curious look, and Milan raises a brow at his secretary. "What is her name?"Milan wasn't expecting anyone. Talk less of a woman as he wasn't one to involve himself with women. "She says her name is Tessa."Milan's eyes quickly darkened at the mention of Ella's mother. He wondered what that troublesome woman could want, having to come all the way down to his workplace. "Alright, send her in.""Okay, sir,"Sophia, Milan's secretary, leaves the office and gently shuts the door. There was an awkward silence in the room between Ariel and Milan. "Well, I guess I will see you at the event then, Miss Hil- I mean Ariel"Ariel resisted the urge to laugh at Milan, almost being formal. "Okay. I'll see you then. "Ariel leaves, and Milan lets out a deep sigh. He finds himself staring at the door with his legs crossed as he awaited Tessa. Within a few minutes, the door is swung open, and Mrs Tessa walks in with vigour, keeping a straight face. Milan intertwined his finge
Milan arrives at the event held by The Hilton's Foundation. A tall large building stood in front of him, filled with bright lights that illuminated the night. A lot of expensive cars kept on rolling in, and people dressed in fancy dinner outfits emerged from it and walked inside elegantly. It felt like Milan was attending a fancy ball. As Milan stepped down from his car, the cold evening breeze welcomed him, and he was suddenly glad he came. Milan stood at the lobby, waiting for Ariel as they were meant to go in together. Milan had just arrived and checked the time on his rolex wristwatch and saw it was still early. Milan adjusted his tie neatly. He was dressed in an elegant white and black tuxedo that fit him perfectly. "Milan?"On hearing his name, Milan turned around to see Ariel, who stood in a long, high slit red dress. She painted her lips a red colour and was adorned in silver jewellery. The red on her matched her red hair, which made her shine brightly. Milan stared li
There was tension in the room as Milan and Ella both glared at each other. Ella was more upset than shocked to see Milan. "Why is this bastard everywhere?"Ella muttered under her breath. Troy, sensing something was off between the two of them, let out an awkward chuckle and turned to Milan. "Do you two perhaps know each other?"Milan puts his hands in his pocket. "I'm more curious. Do you perhaps know her? She is quite famous"Troy nods. "Yes, I do. She is a famous model. Who wouldn't know her?"Troy chuckles, but Milan isn't laughing as he only stares at Ella with a cold look. He wondered if Troy was clueless about Ella's reputation. tonhavs involved himself with her. Once again, Ella was attaching herself to a wealthy man like a leech. Milan was stunned at how fast she had already found her next victim. Ariel placed a hand on Milan's shoulder and then looked at Ella, who had been silent all the while with a frown on her face. "Do you two know each other?"Ella folded her arm
"What?!"Ariel looks up at Milan with worry as Milan frowns while speaking into his phone. "He left with it? Stay put, I'm coming right now, "Milan hangs up the phone and gets up on his feet. Ariel sends him a worried look. "Is everything alright?"Milan sighs. "My car was hijacked"Ariel gasps. "Wait..what?! How did it happen?! Oh no! You should call the police"Milan shakes his head. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it myself. I. Sorry, I'll have to leave quite early, but please do well to send your father my greetings. "Ariel nodded and watched Milan walk away until he was no longer in sight. …Milan looks around the parking lot until he finds his bodyguards. "Boss!""Tell me what happened? How did that man run off with my damn car?!"Milan's bodyguards all looked at each other . "One of you answer me! What were you all doing while he took it?""We were all standing here while we waited for you boss as well as Xavier, but suddenly he got a call and then quickly hopped i
Milan checks the time on his wristwatch to see that it is almost time for "Ariel's welcome party."Milan tries to speed up his work so he can make it in time for the welcome party. A knock on his door distracts him. "Come in"Sofia, Milan's secretary, walks in with a ton of files piled up in her hands. Milan stares at her in shock as she places them on his desk and wipes the sweat off her forehead before shooting him a small smile. "Sofia, what are these?"Milan picks up the files and scan through them one by one as he adjusts his glasses. "These are for the upcoming collaboration with the Hilton's. You will have to go through them and give it your approval before the project can begin, sir. "Milan leans back on his seat and sighs, biting the end of his pen softly. "When exactly do I have to get these done?"Sofia whips out her tablet and scans through it for a second. "It would have to be submitted tomorrow, sir""Ah, I see. It seems I will be pulling an all-nighter. Do me a f
