Simon Clarence had just arrived at the location that Lord Theo had sent to him. He was yet to wind down the window of the car. This was where the map had led him to. He was shaking in his seat. His legs were still very much weak. "You should get off here, sir. This is how far I can go." An elderly man who was behind the wheels said. Clarence took a glance at the man. It was the cab driver that brought him here.There was something to be careful about regarding what the man had just said. He didn't know what it was yet, so he needed to get down first. He paid and climbed down. When he climbed out of the car, he realised that he was standing by the roadside. He was about to walk to the other side so that he could talk to the driver about this location. But before he could even make the turn, the cab had driven off. "Hey!!!" Simon was on top of his voice, but the driver didn't wait. Simon was confused as his gaze lingered on the cab that drifted away. There were a couple of things
"Do you feel pity for her?" Anna decided to break the silence. She had been looking at him every now and then and not saying anything yet. But now, she couldn't hold back the need to ask a question. The urgency was impending and very compelling. Cory shifted his gaze from the other side of the moving car to look at her. When he gazed at her, he noticed that there was desperation in her eyes. It would seem as though she couldn't wait to hear what he had to say. He could see that she wanted his approval so badly. She must love him so much. He would be a fool if he pretended not to know that. "Do you think I should?" Cory teased, throwing back the question at her. When the question hit her, her brows furrowed. She was quick to be angered. She wasn't quite far from her father when it comes to emotions like that. After all, they were cut from the same cloth. "What are you doing? You can't answer a question with another one." Anna was not willing to let him win this argument. Cory's
They both climbed out of the car. When they climbed out, Cory was still trying to fix his phone in his pocket and didn't realise where he was yet. When he was done tucking the phone away, he lifted his gaze to look at the building. When he looked, his eyes widened. He had been seeing a lot of beautiful places, but he could swear on his life that he had never seen anything as beautiful as this. He wished he could gasp, but the shock and surprise were too much for him to regulate the emotions rippling in his head. He just stood there, staring groundless. "Welcome to Eagleville Floating Tower." Anna said to him. Cory looked away from the magnificent building to Anna. It was hard to tell what was going through his mind. It was obviously not an idle thought. Cory started to play a lot of thoughts in his head. He has heard about this Tower. He had always wished that one day he would visit there. And now he was standing right in front of it. But that wasn't really his wonder at this mo
Cory and Anna were in something that looked like a cart. The cart had the wheels of a slider. They were standing in it, and the cart was moving automatically along an aisle made out of sea of glasses. The Outdoor Waiter had run into the building but could not find them. When he lifted his gaze, he saw them leaving. The other guy walked to him from behind and patted him on the back."Let it go. They are out of reach now." The guy urged. The man eyes were red, and he was on the verge of crying. He just couldn't begin to imagine the possibility of things that could happen to him. He didn't want to think about it, yet he couldn't get it off his mind. The Eagleville Floating Tower had a lot of rules. It had to, because of the nature of their business and also because of the kind of clients they receive. No one would receive clients that weren't only wealthy but also an elite. No one would receive such people and not be very particular and tight in the order of business. Every worker
Cory stopped as soon as soon as he walked through the door. For the first time, he saw a setting he was familiar with. Although the interior was breathtaking and beyond words, and the arrangements of the chairs were well thought out, yet it was a typical modern set-up for a restaurant. He was impressed by the smell that greeted him. Everything about this space screamed opulence. It was more and more of a mirage of realism. He was knocked out of the thoughts when figures stood next to him. When he looked, they were Anna and Jared. Oh, right, there was a reason he had come here. He had been distracted. He lifted his gaze to see where the noise was coming from and who was making a fuss. As soon as he looked, a roar greeted him. "What kind of madness is this?! Am I a joke to all of you? Do you really know who I am?" A middle-aged man who looked obviously rich, dressed in plain materials yelled. Cory couldn't help but shake his head. Why must there be people like these everywhere? He
Stomp! Off Cory went from where he was standing.In the blink of an eye, he was now standing behind the lady who had just been slapped by the angry man. The lady who was about to fall to the ground, given by the daze of the slap, was shocked that something was holding her from fallen. Cory steadied the lady, making sure that she didn't break her legs; the manner at which she had rolled to the side by the impact of the slap, if Cory hadn't come to her aid, she would had broken at least one of the ankles. And that would have been quite chaotic for a pretty lady like her. Anna gasped when she realized that Cory was no longer beside her. When she looked up, she saw him about several steps away from her. "Huh? How?" She didn't know what to think. Her pulpils were running all over the sockets. Jared, the manager, was also stunned speechless by what Cory had just done. He saw it too, but he couldn't explain what he had seen. This is a modern world. Who would believe that a man like them
Norman Havill was stunned speechless by what Cory had just said. He had been in this box for a while now, and no one had openly talked rudely to him. Even the waitress who seemed to be sounding bold was shut up by the wave of slap. But this strange lad had just addressed him as though he was some roadside clown. Havill knew that he would let this go just like that. He was someone who was big on ego. He wouldn't let this pass. He definitely would not let his ego be hurt by this random youth. "Hey!!" He bellowed at Cory. Cory didn't want to stop. He did not. There was no point indulging the man. He knew that the man must be angered. If he was to pay attention to the man's call and wait, then he would be ending up inconveniencing the rest of the clients. He wouldn't want to do that to them. Wasn't that why he had decided to change his mind and told Anna they would cancel their order to book the place?After all, this building belonged to him. The whole of the floating tower was his.
With no sense of delay. With no hesitation. Without even taking a few seconds to process what he had heard and decide whether or not to believe it....Havill spun around like the bolt of a lightning. The manner at which he spun was just way beyond the natural order of events. When he spun, he saw Anna. His eyes widened when he saw her. She was so beautiful. Her beauty was just to be considered as a myth. He couldn't close his mouth for a while. But then again, all of a sudden, his face changed. It would seem as though a spell had fallen on him and bewitched his sense of reasoning. "Why should I believe you?" Havill turned back to Cory, his face knitting a shawl of rage once more. "For all I know, you might be telling a big fat lie. You are not the type I would take your words seriously. First, you look too young for the aura you're pretending to exude." Havill started to let his words out. "Although, I have no idea who the hell you are. Or how the hell you knew a lot of things a
