He wondered what she was cooking so early in the morning but he didn't want to ask so that she wouldn't feel like he was interrogating him and start feeling unwelcome. "Good morning" He said to her as he passed by her side to get the glass of water. She didn't reply to him as she continued what she was doing. He saw that she was just boiling water and he wondered if she wanted to take tea or coffee. He filled his glass with water and drank it before making his way to the door. "Wait, don't go yet. I need your help with something" she said before turning to him with the kettle of hot water.He turned back to her to ask her what she needed and saw that she was walking fast towards him with the kettle hurriedly with a scowl on her face as she looked like she was about to pour it on him.Before she could get to him, her legs hit the cupboard and she trippe

Even if Mr Macus and Violet knew the truth, they would still pick on him purposely. He had discovered they were obsessed with picking on him in the past few days.

Cephas unfastened his belt. He was about to get up to explore the jet then the air hostess came back to them. “Good evening Mr Walter, I am sorry for demanding you to leave earlier. It’s a big mistake on my part.”“It’s fine Miss, you are only doing your job.”“Thank you for not taking it to heart sir.”“You are welcome, Miss.” He looked at her tag to get her name. “Miss Clara, right?”“Yes sir, our trip to Arizona will take about two hours. I will bring some light you can eat or would you prefer our six course meal?”As he was about to reply, his stomach grumbled.“The six-course meal will do.” Jose replied with professionality. “Noted sir, I will be back in a few minutes.” The air hostess smiled and bowed before leaving.“You only become professional when it comes to food, “Anta fired at Joose but he stuck his tongue at her.“I want to take a look at this place first.” Cephas said to his assistants.“As much as I'd like to follow you sir, I need a quick nap before the food comes.

“Have a safe journey and I will be back to serve you when you return to Atlanta.” The air hostess bowed.“Me too, please ensure that your team keeps this flight and my identity confidential.” Cephas said.“We will sir, our contracts stated it. You can count on us that we won’t reveal anything happened on the airplane. It’s all part of our job.”“Miss, Clara, thank you so much for the reassurance.”“Anytime sir.”“Until next time,” He shook her hands and proceeded to adjust his suit while he walked down the plane.“I feel so refreshed from my sleep.” He said, stretching his hands.“You only slept for less than twenty minutes, sir,” Anta said. “That was less than twenty minutes?” he asked in surprise.“Yes sir. Was it longer than you thought?”“Exactly, Jose where id the car and who is driving us?” Cephas asked, looking around.“That is it.” Jose pointed at a white car that looked old and crampy.“Is that what you booked?” Anta roared in anger. “You expected Big Boss to ride in that ol
The Hidden Magnate: Cephas Walter Chapter 32 - Car break down
“Shit,” Cephas cussed beneath his breath. “Get out of the car, now,” he yelled. He was scared of the car blowing up if they still remained there. Pangs of memories rushed into his head.The incident reminded him of so many things.The doors of the car swung up and the three of them got out of the car.“Where did you rent this damn car’” Cephas yelled at Jose. The smoke was now worse, the car was overheating. For a minute, he thought they were going to die, just like what happened when he was thirteen.“It was Johnson Scraps and rental.” He muttered. That was the only rental place he had seen while he was looking for rental places in Arizona.“How much did you pay?” Anta asked.She was boiling with anger in her. If a block of ice was poured on her, it would melt right away.“$100, it was expensive because it was late at night.” Jose stammered.“I can’t believe you rented a car from a junkyard.” Cephas said and he loosened his tie. He kicked the tires of the car then started walking, lea

33“Hello Peter and Mia, what brings you oldies to my home at this time of the day? Red asked, yawning lightly, scrunching her eyes for clearer vision. It was quite dark so she only recognised the old couple standing by the door, she had no clue nor did she know who the other three were.“We lost track of time today at the trailer shop, it is not easy to keep up with time when your customers are youngsters from the University of Arizona. The night is like their own day.” Mia giggled.“I am glad your business is doing well, you should ask the writers amongst them to visit this place some time.” Red chirped in.“Anyway, we have brought some kids to you, they are foreigners and they need to get to Victoria’s hotel. They need a lift there but Peter is too tired to drive there.” Mia said.Sweat trickled down Cephas’ head as tension built up in him, he wondered what their reaction would be when they realized it was him. He summoned courage in him and decided to be brave,“They seem to be
