Wayne obeyed his boss by honoring his invitation.Wayne found himself standing before his boss with his head respectfully bow.“Wayne,” Aidan called out.“Yes, boss,” Wayne answered with his head still bowed.Aidan was sitting in the beautiful garden under a flower tree shade as he crossed his leg over the other.“If I could recall, you told me that it has been long since you visited your family, so you want to travel home to see them. And I gave you three weeks off from work to have fun with your family members before you resume work. Was that not what we discussed?”“Yes, boss. That was our agreement.”“Then what happened? Did you travel out of the city as you told me?” Aidan asked in a calm voice, but he was burning with anger inside of him. “Pardon me, boss.” Wayne fell to his knees.“ It was all a lie. I'm an orphan, who has no family or relatives.”“Ohh, you are an orphan? Was that why you decided
While Wayne was still in Aidan's mansion, Antonio's call came in.“Hey, Antonio,” Wayne picked up the call.“Hello, Williams, I missed your call this morning. I was still sleeping when you called,” Antonio sincerely apologized.“That isn't an issue, my dear friend. But how did you notice that I was the one who called?” Wayne enquired.“Well, I was expecting your call. Moreover, when you picked up my call, I immediately recognized your voice. So, that shouldn't be a surprising thing to you, bro.”“Ohh… I see.” Wayne chuckled. “Well, I only called to check on you.”“Thank you so much for the concern. However, something just popped up in my head this morning. So, I would like you to help, please.” said Antonio on the phone.“I'm ready to do anything for you as long as it has nothing to do with violence,” Wayne responded.“Not at all. I can't make you do such a thing. I just recalled that my ex's birthday is today a
Alicia, who was in the kitchen, heard the knock on the door. She quickly rushed out of the kitchen and ran to the door, knowing fully that it was Wayne who was at the entrance.Immediately she opened it, she was overjoyed by whom she saw. Who she was expecting was the person standing by the door.The rose flower that was given to him by Antonio, Wayne hid it behind him and put the gold-plated card that was given by his boss inside his pocket.Alicia quickly hugged him for a few seconds before she let go of him.“Welcome,” she said while smiling at Wayne. “ What's that you are hiding behind you?” she curiously asked.Wayne smiled at her and then brought out the rose flower,“ Here is a surprise from your boyfriend, Alicia. He asked me to give you this flower.” Wayne announced and extended the flower to her.However, Wayne didn't fail to remove the letter from the flower so that Alicia wouldn't notice that the flower wasn't meant fo
“Thank you so much for the gift, my heartthrob. I never expected it.” Alicia's voice echoed from the phone after Antonio had picked up her call.“Huh?” Antonio was lost.“ What are you talking about? W-what do you mean?” his heart was pounding inside his chest as curiosity took the best part of him.“I'm lost here. Didn't you send Wayne to deliver a birthday gift to me? Are you drunk ?” Alicia yelled at him.“Gosh,” Antonio gasped and said,“ Forgive me, I have forgotten. I have a lot to do in the office today. So, I have a slight headache. Maybe that's why I have forgotten. By the way, how was the birthday celebration?” he lied amidst burning in anger because Wayne didn't deliver the gift to the right person.“What celebration when you refuse to come over or take me out for dinner tonight?” she rolled her eyes.“But I told you in the morning that I had a lot to do in the office today, so I wouldn't be able to come. Have you forgotten that?
“Alicia? What are you doing here?” Both Antonio and Wayne were shocked to see Alicia who was standing before them as anger ruled over her.“How I came here isn't the issue here. The question is, what are you both discussing here? You think you can play with my senses, huh?” Alicia grimaced at them.Alicia was on her way to Wayne's place to complain about the flower he bought for her as a gift from Antonio.However, as she was a few miles away from Wayne's place, she decided to call him, but he didn't pick up.As she was about to arrive there, she spotted Wayne driving out of his car. Upon seeing that, her instinct told her that something was wrong somewhere, and she needed to check out.She pleaded with the driver to go after Wayne. That's how she was able to find out where Wayne was going.“Look madam, I don't know what you are here for, but believe me that's a wrong manner of approach. I mean, you couldn't even greet us before you utter any word,” said Wayne, pretending as if he did
Aidan, who has been unsettling for the past few days after Wayne, had revealed to him that Sharon was innocent of what she was accused of.Just to avoid humiliation, Aidan concluded that he would call Sharon and plead for mercy from her rather than go to her house. As usual, Aidan was in the beautiful garden, sitting under a shade as he operated his phone.He dialed Sharon's number, and it rang, but no one picked up the call. He didn't give up, rather, he called again.As the second call was about to end, Sharon finally picked up.“What do you want from me?”! Sharon's angry voice echoed from the phone, causing Aidan's bit his lower lip and shake his head.Silence reigned between them as Aidan thought about the best thing to tell Sharon, so she could understand that he was indeed sorry for chasing her out of his sight the last time she came to his house.“You have every reason to be angry at me, Sharon…” he finally spoke.“Look, Mr. Aidan Frederick,” Sharon sharply cut him off,“ Tell m
“Hmm… My friend and I are visiting someone today. So, I might not be available until evening.” A voice echoed from Alicia's phone.Undoubtedly, one could easily tell who she was talking to. Her expression had shown it all that she was talking to her so-called boyfriend, Antonio.“Which of your friends? If I may ask.” she inquired, having feelings that it was Wayne Antonio was referring to.The truth was that Alicia was looking for a way to get rid of Wayne from Antonio's life because she had gotten what she wanted.The only thing Alicia was waiting for was for Antonio to propose to her before she could leave Kate's house.“Is that important?” Antonio smirked.“Can you please answer me? I know why I'm asking you this, Antonio… hold on, someone is at the door,” said Alicia after a heavy knock came on the door.“Attend to the person. I will call you later, please.” Antonio announced to her and then hung up the call.Alicia gestured towards the door. Immediately she opened the entrance, s
Later that day, Antonio fixed a location where he wanted Wayne to meet with him. Wayne agreed to meet with him because he was certain that Antonio wanted to introduce him to Gregory. From there, he would be able to gather little information about what was happening.Nonetheless, Wayne was a bit scared because Alicia had turned her back on him, and she might have revealed her mission to Antonio.The only thing he needed to do was to be careful so that Antonio wouldn't fool him and get rid of him.After meeting at the address Antonio sent to him, they used Antonio's car to go to Gregory's mansion; Wayne was fully aware that they were going to Gregory's mansion with Antonio's car because he was told by Antonio even before he went there.For that reason, he left his car at the place he rented under the care of a certain man, who volunteered to look after the car.After a few miles of driving, they finally arrived at an estate gate, where Antonio showed them his access card, so they could
