Mr. Marlow immediately paled and blanched, his jaw clenched tighter together and his eyes darkened in anger then the moment he tried to lunge forward at Keith, but he was quickly held back by John who immediately got between the two men and placing a hand on Mr. Malcom's chest to keep him back. Keith raised a brow at the old man, his eyes narrowed in a challenge. “Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mr. Malcom, it seems like you are interested in creating a scene.”Mr. Marlow opened his mouth to say something but John was quicker and chipped in instead, “No, Mr. Thompson, I can assure you that Mr. Marlow had no intention to make such actions, right Mr. Malcolm?” John said the latter part of the sentence through gritted teeth, narrowing his gaze as if to pass a message to him. But Mr. Marlow stood gallant, with anger written all over his face and hands clenched in a tight fist his knuckles turning white. “Get out of my way, John.”John's eyes widened seeing his tactic was not working so he
Sheila bit down on her lower lip hard enough to draw blood, her face was scrunched up into a worried frown and her eyes wide and looking around the room frantically. She glanced at the blank screen of her phone screen lying on her bed, she had been holding it minutes ago while she was on a call with Frank who had put her in this tense mood when he told her over the phone that he had big news for her and from the tone of his voice, Sheila suspected the big news wasn't a happy news. She glanced nervously at the door expecting it to be pushed open any moment from now but the more seconds the door stayed closed the more her anxiety grew. These days for her and her family have not been too good, although they have seen worse days but the days were mostly always sullen and oddly too quiet. Her father was on the brink of losing everything, and it got so bad that they had to relieve some of the workers from their jobs earlier today because her family's financial issues were that bad. But She
Keith had learned to be self reliant and fend for himself from a young age. Yes, his family was financially buoyant but they had been lacking in more ways than it could be counted. He couldn't remember much about the times he spent with his parents but he would never forget the irreplaceable hole in his heart they caused with their absence. His parents had been busy people, always going from one business meeting to another, and rarely spent time at home, so they would leave Keith all alone in the big house. Of course, he had the company of the workers and his nanny but none could ever make up for their absence. He remembered those days when his nanny took him to the playground and he would always go home crying after he watched other children with their parents and that made his wounds sting painfully. He could remember when his nanny would try to pacify him and make excuses for his parents’ absence but he was sure of one thing, that nothing his nanny could ever tell him could ever l
Keith's head snapped upward at the sound of the door opening, the cup of coffee he was holding paused against his lips to watch who was working in. He set his cup down and a smile graced his lips as he watched Camila ask in. Camila was not a small person, not in height or build, she was taller than most ladies and especially inches taller than Sheila. Camila's build was more fleshy and round, her hips were craved to fit in any wear perfectly and although she was lacking in the bust area, the hip was enjoying to cover for it. Each time Keith got to see Camila, he got enthralled by her radiating beauty. Camila's eyes blazed with a look of desire as their gaze met, her lips slowly stretching into a smile. “Keith.”Keith felt his groin area tighten when her melodic voice reached his ears and soothed his insides. He kept his eyes trained on her lips, and his eyes darted immediately back to meet her eyes when she made a small sound from the back of her throat. Camila's eyes grew wide from
In not less than a week, Keith had already been able to put together a solid team to help with his idea to have a business venture into real estate and it had only been possible with the help of his girlfriend, Camila. At first, Keith had expected Camila to be hostile about his idea to go into the same business she was involved with, but it was the opposite. Actually, Camila was ecstatic with the idea and has offered him the ultimate support to be of help in any way she could. They began with his idea earlier this week, and Camilla had eagerly provided him with enough personnel from both inside and outside her business who were skilled in the arts of the work then they began business plotting, outlining the investment strategy, target market, and even an exit strategy. Camila also assisted with networking and building relationships with other real estate agents, contractors, lenders, and other professionals that Camila thought could be of help in the industry and could provide valuabl
“It is such a great pleasure, Miss. Joffery, I look forward to working with you.” Mr. Kevin complimented, his cheeks slightly flustered and a proud smile on his face. “I have always wished to work with you again after our cooperation the other time and the time has finally come and I could not be anything less than excited," Keith groaned in displeasure, the smile he fixed on his face slipping off, Jesus this man talked way too much for his good. He peeped at Camila from the corner of his eyes and he quickly noticed how she drummed her fingers against the wooden table and he assumed it was because she was getting impatient. His lips quivered into a smirk as he sneakingly eased closer in her direction, ensuring that his body brushed against hers as he did so. God, he needed to be alone with Camila now and this cock blocking old man was getting on his nerves.“Thank you, Mr. Kevin,” he said, interrupting the chatty old man not able to contain his impatience anymore. “I am certain, Miss
Keith's jaw dropped in shock, surprised by what Camila had just requested him to do. He blinked repeatedly, she really was hard to predict. He had thought Camila was the type of lady to appreciate grand gestures, well at least that was what Sheila liked and so he expected it to be the same for Camila and had already begun plotting to take her to dinner on Friday and then asking her out with lots of flowers and booking the best restaurant in town for his plan, but once again Camila has managed to leave him stunned. It was like that day she had begun crying after kissing her because she liked the kiss. Keith opened his mouth to say something but Camila squirted her eyes and spoke up first, “Don't even try joking about aliens now, this is serious Keith.”Keith chuckled, he had been caught right in the act, he had actually been planning on using the alien joke on her but she beat him to it. “Alright, I won't. But are you sure you do not want to wait for what I already have planned?”Cami
“Thank you all for your cooperation, the decision I make will be passed to you all before the end of the week,” Keith promised with a firm nod. The people gathered around the wooden table nodded in agreement and the board of directors meeting, the minute the meeting was adjourned the members pushed up to their feet and began packing their things. Mrs. Genevieve didn't rise and looked up at Keith, “You ex invited me to a party this weekend, I didn't expect they would be so forgiving.”Keith paused what he was doing and turned to face her, “They must have had a change of plan.”Mr. Kevin, who had been listening to their conversation, chipped in with a look of distraught, “I also received an invite, I was surprised. “Mrs. Genevieve frowned, “Those sly's are so stupid, they have the nerve to send an invite after what they did to you.”“I was displeased too, and there is no way I would be attending their stupid party.” Mr. Kevin muttered angrily. Mrs. Genevieve nodded in agreement, “Th
