The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 44 • You Should Leave
Lola’s brain did not immediately process what was going on until she felt Xander’s fingers going up towards her hair. “Um,” she mumbled,pulling away from the kiss. Her face was red with embarrassment and anger. Xander leaned towards her in an attempt to initiate another kiss but Lola immediately stood up. “I..” she stuttered. “Come on.” Xander probed and Lola cleared her throat. “Th…that wasn’t supposed to happen.” She said, “I thought you wanted it.” Xander responded and Lola looked away. “Alright, I’m sorry. I just got carried away. Let’s just keep watching the movie. I’ll try my best to stare at the television this time.” He flirtatiously remarked, flashing a smile at her. “No.” Lola immediately said, causing Xander to lift a brow. “No? You want me staring at you?” He questioned in feigned ignorance. Without saying a word, Lola picked up the remote and switched off the television then she folded her hands, glaring at him. Xander glanced at the blank television screen th
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 45 • New Doctor
Matthew went into the office and gracefully sat on the executive chair behind the desk. Lola remained at the door waiting to get a go-ahead from him. Matthew didn’t mind her at first as he immediately turned on the desktop computer in front of him and began to type the keyboard.“You may sit down. Stop hanging at the door.” He ordered without looking up at her.“Yeah…right.” Lola replied. She walked to the table and pulled out one of the chairs before sitting on it.Matthew didn’t say a word to her but it was evident there was a lot in his mind. Lola waited for him to question her about the incident but he didn’t say anything about it. She became nervous again and decided to bring up the topic.“Matthew, I can explain. I didn’t accept the bouquet of flowers, in fact, we are not even friends. I have no idea why he showed up at my doorstep uninvited and then I saw you and I didn’t even know what to do at that point because I still felt mad at you. I told him to leave my house after a wh
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 46 • No Room For Impersonators
Raymond had his hands on his jaw with his legs shaking subconsciously as he was lost in thoughts, he soon noticed Matthew’s presence and turned to look at him.“What is it? Why are you here?” He snapped.Matthew didn’t say anything, he simply turned away and walked back to meet Martha and her new doctor. He folded his arms and leaned by the doorway, waiting for the doctor to finish what he was doing.“….this is all you need to know for now. You should start seeing effects in three days, if there isn’t, you can also reach out to me. But you have to be strict in taking these drugs, okay?” The doctor advised and Martha nodded.Just then, Matthew finally walked in.“Oh this must be one of the young masters. Hello.” The doctor cheerfully greeted me. He had heard about the young masters from Charles.“How do you do, doctor?” Matthew responded, with his gaze fixed on the drugs sprawled out on the table. He walked to the table and picked up the drugs one after the other to read their labels.
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 47 • Never Official
After enduring the class and all the insults Anthony had thrown at him, Matthew finally decided to go take some fresh air. It was just his first day and he already felt so exhausted, everything was just so choking. He heard a few people talking about the issue but he pretended not to hear them. What was the point of arguing when he knew he was actually a Houston? He had no point to prove, with time, the truth will be revealed on its own.Xander loved the attention he was getting from everyone. He spotted Matthew leaning on a pillar and he smirked again. He couldn’t care less about him.“Mr Houston, it is an honor to have you here. Do you know how long we have been expecting you?” A random girl asked.“Really?” Xander replied with a puzzled look on his face.“Yes, I never thought you would be this humble. I’m glad to meet you.” She added and scurried away excitedly. A few more people stopped to greet Xander and at that point, he was feeling on top of the world. He had successfully m

Lola’s expression became sour as she saw the look on Matthew’s face. “I…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. My tongue has a mind of its own.” She instantly apologized, and Matthew slowly nodded. “Yeah, I bet you didn’t. Leave now.” He said. “Matthew, please. I am sorry. I just got really mad. I really didn’t mean that, " she pleaded, taking one step up the stairs. “I know. Why are we even having this conversation? I mean… you are right. We are not official. Why are you apologizing to me?” He quizzed. “Please don’t look at it that way. I’m sorry.” “Bold of you to think that being sorry can fix everything,” Matthew responded. He turned away and walked up the stairs. Lola gulped, then ran up the stairs, trying to catch up with him. “Matt, please wait. I’m sorry. Please!” She begged. “Don’t call me that, okay? Just leave me alone! I need some rest.” “Just hear me out, please,” Lola added, tears trickling down her face. “Lola, there is nothing to talk about. We are not o
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 49 • Guards Needed
Amelia stood on the balcony, craning her neck from time to time as she spied on the Winchesters, whose home was quite visible to her. She couldn’t really get hold of anything important, but she wished she could see something because she was pretty sure Vanessa had something up her sleeves.“I wish I had a telescope or binoculars or something. I have to see what that sick woman is up to.” She muttered, straining her poor eyes and standing on her tiptoes.“Ma’am, I think you should calm down.” Charles' voice said from behind her. She glanced at him, then returned to spying on the Winchester’s home.“Charles, where can I get binoculars?” She questioned.“At the mall? We could also order them as well.” He replied with a shrug.“Which would be quicker? I can’t let a thing escape my sight.” She muttered, with her fists clenched.“Ma’am, I could have someone drive down to the mall to get you a pair of binoculars, but I personally wouldn’t advise that.” He softly said, and Amelia turned to lo
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 50 • You Evil Witch
Amelia walked back to her bedroom and sat on the bed; she knew she might collapse if she stood longer. Her face twisted as she stared out into space. “W…what competitors?” she asked. The last time she checked, Houston Corps was the highest-ranking company in the country; nobody was up to their standard. “We have a new competitor. They sprung out of nowhere, and I’m afraid they are taking our customers, not just our directors.” Elena explained.“That bad?” Amelia gasped. It was even worse than she thought.“Yes, ma’am.”“I will be at the company tomorrow. Prepare every single detail for me. Do not leave anything out, no matter how bad you think it might be. Do you understand?” she stated firmly.“Yes, ma’am. I’ll be expecting you.” The disconnecting tone was heard as Amelia tossed her phone to the bed. She folded her hands and rested her chin on them worriedly.“Vanessa…Vanessa. It is you. You evil witch.” She cursed under her breath. The Winchesters were the only ones she could thi
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 51 • Invite Appreciated but not Accepted
“Hi. May I come in, please?” Vanessa asked, still grinning, making Charles wonder if the corners of her lips weren’t hurting from how hard she was smiling.“Are you looking for someone?” He inquired.“No, well actually…”Raymond came from behind Charles, and when he saw Vanessa, he frowned.“It’s you. What do you want this time? Are you here to make trouble?” He admonished, and Vanessa laughed.“Oh, come on. I come here in peace. I am only here to see Amelia. I’m sure she is expecting me. Is she in?” Vanessa questioned, peeking through the double doors as both Raymond and Charles didn’t allow her to enter the house.Raymond shut the door and chuckled.“You know, I think you should cut the crap, cut the damn act. We all know your relationship with her; she isn’t expecting someone like you. Everyone knows you both don’t see eye to eye anyway.” He stated.Vanessa had an amused expression on her face for a split second, and then she burst into laughter.“Oh wow. I see it is now a gang up
