The room presented Leander with an unexpected surprise - it was perfectly clean when he arrived. Leander scanned the living room and other rooms for Brianna. "Hey, Bri," he snapped, "Every room's clean but it looks... too clean" However, Brianna was mute as she inspected a travel bag for flaws.Leander exclaimed, "Brianna, you are not answering me""Oh, sorry, dear. I—I’m lost. Just daydreaming," Brianna blurted out, her face etched with a hint of apology. Leander sat down on the couch next to her and repeated with a warm smile, "Okay, I was asking why your apartment is so neat?""Oh really?" Brianna smiled, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "Your baby is going soon," she teased. Right after she finished, Leander furrowed his brow, attempting to decipher the meaning behind her words.Leander sprang to his feet, spinning towards her, his curiosity overtaking him. "Wait... wait. Is someone on their way here? What the hell is happening?"Brianna's eyes locked onto his with a sly grin.
After leaving Brianna’s residence, Leander made his way to a nearby local restaurant. Fatigued from the day's events, he sank into a seat, trying to rest before confronting Rex's looming threat. He couldn't handle another attack right now.Sitting among passing customers, Leander hurriedly grabbed his phone and messaged Lindsey to ask where she was. There was no response; she was offline.Deciding it was late and his mother awaited him, Leander swiftly opened his contact app and dialed Max Masterson's number.The line clicked, and Leander was taken aback by the unfamiliar, feminine voice on the other end."Hello, am I speaking with Max?" he inquired swiftly.The voice responded, "Sorry, he is not with his phone. What do you want from him?"Frustrated, Leander asserted, "Uh, I just need to speak with him. Tell him I'm Master Leander, okay?"“Okay, hold on please,” the feminine voice boomed, soft yet authoritative.“Max, you have a caller on the line. The person needs your attention. He
Another working week had just begun when Leander's new Range Rover glided into Veritas Conglomerate headquarters. He wasn't in the car alone; two convoy vehicles flanked him.As the cars came to a halt, retired Navy SEALs, now serving as Leander's bodyguards, emerged from the convoy cars. One opened the door for Leander, while another collected his stylish Louis Vuitton bag.Leander confidently entered the Veritas Conglomerate penthouse, emanating an air of significance. His bodyguards followed closely, a silent but imposing presence. Employees scurried to and fro, creating a buzz of activity in the lobby.Upon arrival, Elaine, his assistant, warmly welcomed him with a smile. "Good morning, Master Goldstein," she said."Good morning, Elaine," Leander responded. "Do we have any meetings today?""Yes, sir. You have a meeting with Mr. Johnson in an hour," Elaine replied."Thank you, Elaine. I'll be in my office," Leander said, heading toward his workspace.He entered his office, the body
Leander, accompanied by his new team of bodyguards, arrived at the embellished event hall situated in one of the city’s most high-end hotels. He wouldn’t miss his mom’s birthday for anything. As a billionaire, he was no stranger to the grandeur that surrounded him. Overhead, the twinkling crystal lights created a lovely ambiance, illuminating the elegantly set tables that were adorned with breathtaking floral arrangements. Despite having a very important appointment earlier, he had rescheduled it to meet here.As he walked in, the hall buzzed with laughter and chatter. He spotted his mother in the center, looking radiant."Leander! Over here!" his mother called, waving him over with a warm grin.He smiled and made his way through the crowd. "Happy birthday, Mom," he said, hugging her tightly."Thank you, dear. I'm so glad you could make it," she replied, beaming."Uh, I wouldn't miss it for anything," Leander assured her. "How's the party going?""It's wonderful. Everyone's having a
After his mother left, Leander returned to the event hall, accompanied by his bodyguards. Inside the hall, he came into a familiar face surrounded by henchmen.Leander looked at her sharply before greeting her with a warm smile. “Hey there!”The lady stepped forward with a respectful grin. “Nice to meet you, Master Leander.”“Same here.""Do you like how the birthday party is going?” Leander asked, his curiosity piqued.“It’s lovely. It was amazing,” the lady replied with a sense of urgency, her face beaming with a smile.“Sorry, are you Zara Buchanan, the popular Australian actress?” Leander asked, his tone sharp.“Yes, I am,” Zara responded, extending her hand.Leander shook her hand. “It’s a pleasure. I’ve seen many of your movies. You’re quite talented.”“Thank you, Leander,” Zara said, looking genuinely pleased. They then exchanged a brief hug. “Your mother’s party was spectacular. She must be very proud of you.”“She is,” Leander replied. “Would you like to join me inside?”“I’d
Leander approached the stunning glass doors of Beacon Realty, ready to enter the city's finest land sales dealer. His heart raced, each thump fueling his determination.He intended to get the ideal estate for his mother as a symbol of his appreciation and love.Elaine, his assistant, stood by his side. She looked at him, her eyes full of confidence and eagerness."Ready, master?" she asked with a smile.Leander nodded. "Let's do this, Elaine."They stepped inside, the cool air conditioning offering immediate relief from the summer heat outside. The interior of Beacon Realty was a mix of modern elegance and luxury. The marble flooring shined in the mellow lighting, and wide windows provided a panoramic view of the cityscape.A man wearing a well-tailored suit and perfect grooming approached them. His name tag read "Mr. Harris.""Good morning, sir, madam. Welcome to Beacon Realty. How may I help you?" he asked, his tone polite and professional.Leander extended his handshakes. "Good mor
Rex's parents have finally recognized that their efforts to compel Leander and the institution to provide their son's certificate failed. They decided to sit down and have a quiet discussion with Leander. They weren't the only ones present; one of Camila's family also supported the decision. However, Leander agreed to address the issue due to their pleadings, clarifying that they were not responsible for the delay in the certificates, but rather the institution. But no one believed him. The tension was palpable in their home as Mr. and Mrs. Kensington sat across from Leander. A stern-looking man in his sixties, who happened to be Camila’s uncle, had arrived to serve as an arbitrator. Leander leaned back, with folded arms and a calm yet determined look on his face. Mr. Kensington cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “Master Leander, I guess we need to resolve this issue as early as possible.” Leander sighed softly, with a sense of worry visible. "Well, the issue isn't just th
The sound of Leander’s Bugatti Tourbillon engine echoed through the busy streets as he made his way to the park where his colleagues and course mates were gathered in the festive atmosphere.Leander’s car abruptly stopped at the park in just a few minutes. The car engine’s sound grabbed everyone’s attention, and when they saw the yellow Bugatti parked outside the park, they were both surprised and eager to find out who was behind the wheel.Camila was among those who fixed their eyes on the Bugatti. She admired the car’s attractiveness but was still eager to see who had bought it.“Wow, this car is crazy!” Camila murmured, her lips parting in awe.Inside the car, Leander connected his gaze back to Camila through the tinted windows and shook his head in disgust, even though she couldn't see him.Turning to Lindsey with a soft smile, Leander said, “Lindsey, are you ready now? I'm waiting.” His clear voice echoed under the booming backdrop music.“Oh, wait... please?” Lindsey asked, hurr
