Leonid glared at them, but they seemed not to notice the glare that Leonid was giving them, or they refused to acknowledge it. Jared kneaded the dough with practiced hands, his lips curving into a sly smirk directed at Leonid. Richard's eyes glinted with mischief, and his smile crooked as he observed the unfolding scene.Viktor handed a face towel to Leonid; he accepted it and began wiping the floor off his suit. Viktor helped him clean up, and Jared and Richard watched them until they were done."Who is the young man with you?" Jared asked. "I haven't seen him around you before."Leonid approached them with a frown on his face. Viktor was matching with him and was glaring at the men who were standing in front of them. Richard chuckled as Viktor and Leonid were standing next to him now."You decide to show up after skipping work for days. Who do you think the boss is? A charity center?" Jared asked.Viktor was not Leonid; he lunged at Jared. Grabbing him by the collar and slamming him
"He is actually rich, and she dumbed her boyfriend for a married man.""He had clearly told her that he was married, and she shamelessly still asked him out.""She looked elegant when I first saw her; I never realized that she was stupid.""That was such a slap in the face; she ran out of words."Whispers spread like wildfire through the crowd, accompanied by wide-eyed stares and subtle nudges. People exchanged incredulous glances, and their curiosity piqued. The air was thick with anticipation, the silence broken only by the occasional gasp as the drama unfolded before their eyes. Viktor was already standing next to Leonid with a grin on his face."I apologized that day for what I did, didn't I?" Leonid asked the woman; his eyes were glaring at her coldly.The surprised look on the woman's face disappeared and transformed into anger. Leonid loved the look on her face; he knew that it was time for the woman to spit out nonsense just to smear her reputation."I am sure that money is st
"Boss, are you ready to see the files?" Matteo walked into the office, balancing two coffee mugs in his hands. Vikor raised his head to glare at Matteo; they were sitting in the office now. Leonid was going through the files that were on the table, the same as Viktor. Matteo had entered the office without knocking, and he rudely interrupted them. "I'm sorry." Matteo muttered, getting the hint. Matteo walked back out of the office and knocked on the door. It was then that Leonid looked up from the files and glanced at the door. "I thought I heard Matteo's voice." Leonid said. Viktor glanced at Leonid. "Yes, you did. He entered without knocking, and now he went back outside to knock." "I am sure you did something." "I didn't do a thing; I only stared at him." Viktor defended himself. "Or glared at him." Leonid turned to look at the door. "You can come on, Matteo." The door opened, and Matteo walked into the office with a huge smile on his face. He offered the coffee to them; Leo
Viktor and Leonid sat on the chair. Leonid had a finger in his chin. The call had left them speechless; the person who called had known their name. Viktor took a deep breath and let out a sigh."Would you recognize the voice when you hear it?" Viktor asked.Leonid turned his head and looked at him. "Definitely, I recently changed my contact. The person is not someone from my past; it is someone recent. I can tell."Viktor nodded. "That's right.""We need to find him; his voice didn't sound friendly.""I know someone who hates me for pulling such a prank; let's go find him; he will be in the club tonight."They were sitting on a couch in the living room. Amelia was not home yet. She was still having a business dinner with the rest of her business partners. She had called him on the phone after ensuring that she was with Satan. Leonid felt relieved."We can head to the club when Amelia arrives home safe and sound." Leonid replied. "She would be angry if I went to the club without inform
“Who is talking about a chick here?” Viktor asked, his brows furrowing.“Come on, Rizzo, what are you doing here?"“Cody, don’t you know?” Viktor grabbed a chair and sat on it. “You called my brother, didn’t you?”Cody's eyes shifted to Leonid, who was standing next to Viktor now. Leonid returned his stare with a blank look on his face.“You have a brother?’’ Cody sounded amused. “I didn’t know.”“How would you know?” Viktor questioned. “When you spend all of your time with women,"“I also work to earn money to spend on them.” Cody winked at Leonid. “So what’s your name, man?”Leonid took his seat next to Viktor; if Cody was asking for his name, that means that it wasn’t Cody who had made the call.“I thought you already knew." Viktor muttered. “How would I? I just met him.” Cody replied, his gaze still on Leonid.“You didn’t make the phone call?” Leonid asked. A surprise look appeared on Cody’s face. “What phone call?"Viktor and Leonid exchanged glances, and Viktor let out a small
The man ran towards the passageway, and Leonid realized that he hadn’t been able to move around the house. He didn’t even know how he could appear right in front of the man. Viktor was hot on his tail. Leonid glanced back at Viktor. Viktor was opening a door to the left and stepped in. Leonid didn’t have the time to ask Viktor where he was headed because he glanced back at the man. The man took the road to the left.“Dammit!” Leonid cursed. “I am going to kill you.”Leonid kept on chasing after the man, and soon he ran past the kitchen. He peered into the kitchen, only to see that Satan was not in it. Someone appeared in front of the masked man; Leonid saw it was Viktor. The man paused and ran in the other direction. Another person appeared behind the man.Satan! The mask man then turned in Leonid’s direction. The man looked like he had been surrounded by predators wanting to catch his prey. He surveyed the place, as if he were trying to find a hole to crawl into.“You are surrounded!
Leonid thought Cody wouldn’t reply to his message any sooner, but he did.‘If you haven’t answered the call, answer it. I’m tracking it now.’Leonid glanced at Matteo. “Can you excuse me? I will call you when needed.”"Yes, Mr. Giovanni.” Matteo replied, turned around, and left.Leonid picked up the phone call, but there was silence coming from the other end. Viktor, who was engrossed in his work, glanced at Leonid and hurried towards him. Still, when Viktor reached Leonid, there was nothing coming from the phone.After waiting in silence for the man at the other end to speak, the man finally spoke.“Leonid, what are you doing right now? Do you need help at the office? I am really helpful. I saw the way you dropped off your wife at her company today. That’s actually the sweetest thing I have ever seen today.”Blood drained from Leonid’s face as he listened to what the man said. The man had been stalking him and knew where his wife was.“What do you want?” Leonid questioned.The man la
He checked the caller ID, and it read Cody. He picked it up and placed the phone in his ears. Cody’s voice was loud, and there was a shriek of engines in the background, as Cody spoke.“The man got away!” Cody announced. “He knew we were coming.”“I know that.” Leonid replied. “Thank you, Cody, for helping me out, but since he escaped, you can go back to whatever you are doing now. I have something else to deal with, and could you help me keep tracking the number?”“Sure.” Cody replied. “Just text me whenever.”The call ended, and Leonid peered at Viktor. It was time for them to go to the Smith’s. He gestured with his hand for Viktor to come along with him. Viktor got the hint and stood to his feet.“We will be back soon.” Leonid informed Matteo. “If you have any problems, call Mr. Massimo and text me.”Leonid had asked his father if they had any problems working with the hoverboard. Even though he knew there was going to be any problems since the hoverboard was all planned out, They j
