The doctor nodded and thanked him profusely and Chase left the building.When he was gone, the doctor sent for the two guards and fired them immediately, all their pleadings falling on deaf ears.The name 'Kevin Alcantra' echoed throughout the hospital like a wide fire that day and the staff all pulled out their phones to search for the name but there was no result found. Was he in any way related to the great Alcanta family? Nobody knew the answer to the question.Chase had a smile on his face as he exited the building. He was very happy because he had been able to resolve the issue that had been bothering his friend for the longest time but the smile on his face faltered a bit as he saw a figure he recognized a few feet away.He walked closer and saw it was Kenny. Kenny sat on a bench with slumped shoulders, looking very dejected."I thought that was you," Chase immediately said when he got closer and saw his face."Hi, Theo," Kenny replied with a smile but the smile didn't reach hi
"Wh…what? Why would you say that?" Kenny choked out and scoffed a bit, which was totally unbelievable, even to a five-year old child."Don't lie, Kenny, " Chase said, his eyes growing even darker. He totally hated when people were bullied and he had been a victim since his awakening but then, there was absolutely nothing he could do. But now, he had the power and wasn't going to let it slide."Why would you think I'm lying?" Kenny kept the denial up as he scratched the back of his head, thinking of how to get out of the situation. This was something he had never discussed with anyone and nobody had been concerned enough to find out, even when he came to work with a black eye. He wanted to tell Chase off but he didn't have the heart to. No other person had cared enough to ask him."I saw what he did to you in the elevator the other day," Chase said bitterly as the memory of how ashamed Kenny had looked came back to him."Wha….." Kenny tilted his head to the side as he tried to think of
"Theo," Huncho called out from the other side of the street and jogged down to reach him on time, two of his minions following in tow.The smile on Chase's face disappeared. They were just the right people he needed to shake Paul up a bit but how would he do that? It wasn't like they were his friends and he could just say "hey buddy, beat someone up for me real quick." If anything, they were there to beat him up."Looks like you forgot about us," one of the men smiled while rubbing his moustache."Fuck off," Chase said through gritted teeth and swatted the man's hand away as he tried to touch his face."You've gotten quite ballsy," Huncho said and his smile grew wider."What do you want?" Chase scowled."I'm gonna keep it brief. Give us some money," Huncho pulled out his hand to receive."I don't have any money to give you," Chase replied and turned to leave but just before he could do that, Huncho dragged him by the collar and was about to land a blow to his face when the headlights
"Young master, we'll be back in the next two days. You'll be leaving for the states with us, just as the empress said," secretary Kim informed Chase.He nodded once in response and walked the remaining distance to his house while the men reversed their cars and screeching of tires could be heard.Chase wasn't ready to leave yet but he knew he couldn't back down. The empress had fulfilled her end of the bargain and he had to do same.After a quick shower, he got into bed, prepared for his last day as a hotel cleaner.At Paul's house, he was having a mini party with his some of his friends. He didn't have to report early to work since he had Kenny who would get everything settled before his arrival."Hey, man, is there more booze?" One of his friends who was already drunk asked."There's enough for everyone one in the fridge," he yelled over the loud music and the party of 7 people all cheered.He was the most respected among his friends, mainly because he worked at a prestigious compan
Chase yawned like a cat and stretched wildly when he woke up the next morning. He quickly rushed to get ready for the day and since it was his last day at work, he wanted to leave an impression, whatever that may be.He got ready on time and soon, he was standing outside Gab and Gabe's. With a deep breath, he walked in and headed straight to the elevator.He has gone very early so the elevator was mostly free till he got to the floor his section was.Immediately as he opened the door, his eyes met Evelyn's. She was in a conversation with Alice."Hi, ladies," he greeted as he walked in."You're here early today," Alice commented."Don't I come early every other day?" Chase asked, feigning hurt.In response, the two ladies looked at him pointedly."You're going to be just fine," Alice said to Evelyn and squeezed her hand before leaving the office to get started with her day.Evelyn sighed deeply and sunk deeper into the couch. Chase noticed this and walked up to her."That suits you," h
"Is there any issues, young master?" Secretary Kim's voice boomed. "Just a little something. I want you to call Paul's superior to make him report to work," Chase said in a flat tone."Yes sir, anything else?" Secretary Kim asked."Yes," Chase said and told secretary Kim what he wanted him to do next."I'll get right on it. Is that it?" Secretary Kim asked again to make sure the young master didn't want him to do anything else."That's all for now," Chase said and pulled the phone out of his ear, ending the call.He had a good feeling that Paul wouldn't report to work after Huncho gave him feedback of how their little journey went, but he wanted to make him feel every pain he cause Kenny, and that included reporting to work after being abused.Secretary Kim made the call and the general manager, who was surprised to hear his voice and even more surprised at his out-of-the-blue request quickly got to work. It wasn't everyday you got to speak to one of the personal assistants of the em
Chase's phone rang in his pocket and he pulled it out but furrowed his eyebrows when he didn't recognize the caller.Deciding to pick the call, his tensed muscles immediately relaxed as he heard the voice of the caller."Dude, are you a psychic or something?" Kenny's excited voice boomed through the speaker."Kenny?" Chase asked to be sure."I have good news for you, man. Let's meet up this evening," Kenny continued."What is it?" Chase asked, trying to sound as curious as he could when he already had a good idea what it was."I'll tell you everything when we see," Kenny said and ended the call and Chase couldn't help the smile that played on his lips."What?" Evelyn asked, startling him. He had not heard her come in."Oh, um, just a friend," he shrugged and put his phone in his pocket, playing it off."Hmm," she hummed and stood beside him. "There's something different about you," she started as she scrutinized his features."Really?" He chuckled awkwardly as he rocked on the ball of
The day went by quickly and soon, it was time for lunch. Every other person went out for lunch except Paul, who was buried in work with an aching body."The broccoli isn't going to turn to a monster and bite you," Evelyn chuckled at Chase's indignant stare at the broccoli on his plate while the took their seat in their favorite spot."Yeah, thanks," he said and immediately picked it out and dropped it on the tray."What's your brother's name?" He asked out of the blue and Evelyn stopped her food mid-air. Chase had been trying to ask her all week but he didn't know how to bring up the conversation and decided the best way to do it was to just put it out there.Evelyn quickly regained her composure and put the food in her mouth. The question was so random that it sent her into a shock wave for a minute."My brother is Malcom. Malcolm Smith," she told him, not knowing why he needed the information but guessing he just wanted to talk about her family with her."Hmm," Chase nodded and made
