He turned around to see the man who had ordered him to stop. It was a lanky man. The man looked well built. His frame was towering and quite intimidating. If Cory didn't have any supernatural abilities, he probably would be shaking and quaking just standing in front of the man. Coupled with his intimidating physique, the man's face looked like a personified rock. It would seem as though if an object crashed against it, such would turn into a fine pebble. The man weighed Cory's physique and outline with his wild eyes, looking Cory from the head to toe.Because of the nature of his eyes, it was hard to tell if he was looking down on Cory or if he was only doing his job. Cory didn't want to start having ideas, but he could tell that that was what judging eyes looked like"How may I help you?" The man inquired boldly. Cory smiled warmly at the man, reaching out his hand to shake the man's hand. "My name is Cory. I just want to talk to the receptionist. It won't take too long." Cory's
Cory knew for a fact that there was no other person in this place other than him. He was the only person sitting while the rest of the people were on their feet. This meant but the harsh truth that the man was referring to none other than him. Why, though? He couldn't place it. He had already come to the conclusion that the people here are quite decent compared to the likes of the cab drivers. He wasn't having wrong ideas and didn't want to nurse ugly thoughts. But the rich looking man was staring dead at him. His eyes held both flames and derision. Cory was trying so hard not to read an unnecessary meaning to this, but he just couldn't help himself. There was disgust and derision splattered across the intimidating face of the man. "What the hell! Is he still sitting?!!!" The man's tone increased, almost resulting in a yell. Cory had no reason to stand up. What in the hell is this? He thought he had seen it all, but obviously, he was just having ideas. "You should stand on your
"Let go of my hand!!!" The man barked, not realizing what Cory had just said. He realised that the grip of Cory on his hand was so strong that if Cory were to add pressure, his wrist might snap. He was scared to the end of his wits, yet he wasn't going to show his fear to this riff-raff!!!But then when he noticed that Cory was still looking past him. He slowly turned to look behind himself. When he turned, he lost his balance and almost somersaulted! His legs shook so heavily that it felt like his knees would fold in. Sweat pooled at the corners of his face when he saw the lady standing in front of him. Cory let go of his hand, and he sprawled to his feet, dropping on his knees all of a sudden and kowtowed to Anna! "Miss Anna! It's truly you! I thought it was a joke. I heard from my personal source that you would be coming unannounced to the company today as the new manager. I only thought of trying my luck whether or not I would see you. It was true. It's such an honor to meet
Arold knew that he had every right to dispute what he had just seen. From his own standpoint, there was no sense whatsoever in what he was looking at. Every sane person would perhaps agree with him on this one. But given by the fact that the card had been handed over to him by none other than the only child and daughter of Lord Theo! He dared not call it a lie. Cory, on the other hand, was wondering what the details of the card with Arold were. Although, Lord Theo had promised to send a company card through Anna, which Cory would be using henceforth. Yet he didn't really know what the card would be about. Cory couldn't ponder too much on that. Arold was shaking heavily. He dropped on his knees all of a sudden. He had heard about the new changes in the ownership of the Eagleville mall. In fact, he had come here hoping to come across Anna. By that, he would be able to find a way to speak with the new owner of Eagleville through Anna. That was what he was hoping dearly. But things
Arold was already wetting his pants when he heard this. He didn't even care that he was about fifty years old. He didn't care about age. What Cory had just said was so huge and disturbing. It was something that had unsettled his whole body system, and his head was heating. "My Lord. Please forgive me. Don't do this." Arold sprung at the feet of Cory, a relentlessly effort to grapple at the legs of Cory. Cory sent the tip of his shoes into the jaws of Arold. Anna gasped, clutching her palm to her mouth when she heard the crack of broken bones at the contact. Cory's face held no trace of emotion after the suicidal kick he gave Arold in the face. Arold's face was streaming with blood now. "Did she even get the chance to beg you?" Cory bellowed at him, his face tightening. When the image of the dying receptionist flashed through his mind again, he gritted his teeth. Something deep inside of him was awakened. He lifted his gaze at Anna. Anna was scared to look at him. Lord Theo was c
Cory pulled the man with him out of the building. Before he stepped out, he had seen the car of Anna parked not far from the entrance. He had made a quick calculation in his mind. He walked quickly and hurried towards the car, dragging Arold with him. He didn't spare Arold even a breath. Anna was seen running behind them, trying to catch up with the quickened pace of Cory. A distance away from that particular building, there were a couple of reporters who were hanging around and looking around expectantly. They had all heard that Miss Anna of Lord Theo would be coming to the mall today. On top of that, their was an imposing rumor about the new owner of Eagleville coming there, too. None of the reporters knew from what direction Anna or the new owner would come. They were all eager and jumpy as they looked from one side to the other. "Cory! Cory, wait!" Anna called repeatedly. The reporters were gathered at the front of the main mall. Although the executive building was part of
Cory zoomed into the building without having a second thought. He dropped on his knees when he got to the lady. Just a glance at her. Information about her condition popped up at once; she was about to deliver the baby. The loud cry and the urgent reaction of Cory had gotten to the husband and Anna. "Linda!!!" Arold ran into the room, looking really devastated. When Linda, the beautiful pregnant lady, heard the voice of her husband and saw him, her voice got louder in tears, "Arold. The babies. They are coming." Linda cried. Cory looked around the living room and noticed that there was no one in the house. There was no one else in this very huge building. He got up on his feet and hurried to the Arold. He sent a resounding slap across the face of Arold. "You crazy fool! How dare you leave a pregnant woman all by herself? Do you want her dead? In this heavy state of hers?!!!" Cory yelled, almost about to hit him. "This can wait!" Anna screamed. "Let's take her to the hospital f
There was worry splattered across Anna's face. She couldn't move her body an inch. It would seem as though she had turned into a sort of statue. Her eyes were glued to the body that was lying on the bed. Her lips were moving inaudibly as though she was saying some gentle prayers. There were a couple of things going on in her mind that she couldn't find words for yet.She was alone in the guest room with Cory. She had done all she could to make sure that he came back to consciousness, but there was no result. The husband and wife had left the house for the hospital. They wanted to go and confirm whether or not everything was well with the newly born.Cory's face looked quite still and long. He was not cold nor warm. He was a little bit of this and that. In the midst of the running emotions, Anna's phone started to buzz. She was startled by the loud ring tone. She had no idea how much she was lost in thoughts. When she looked at the phone, she realized that she had no other choice t
