“And what does that mean?” Paxton asked.“It simply means you can't return them!” One of the security guards shouted.Megan shook her head, “I don't think you understand me…. I'm saying, we haven't opened the wines yet….Look..” She showed it to him, “We only opened one of them. You can still take back the remaining nine since we can't afford to pay that amount.” Megan explained to the manager and the securities. That way, the amount on their bill will reduce and they would be able to clear them and be on their way home.“Sealed or not…. You were warned, weren't you?” The manager asked them.“He's right, Megan… the waitress said we couldn't return them no matter what and we still ordered it with that knowledge.” Eleanor cried out, worry etched on her face.They were in deep shit. They were now employees in this place! Fuck! Miller is such a bastard! He brought this disgrace upon them all!“Did you say ‘we’? Mum? We? Seriously? This is all your fault!” Megan was pissed.“How is it my fa
Miller watched as she disappeared into the elevator. This sudden arrangement didn't sit well with him.The rest of the family members took their seats, while he was the only one standing. At this point, he could no longer bear to sit. Megan was starting to take too long up there and he just wanted to go bring her back.“You should be ashamed. She's the man while you're the woman in your marriage.” Old lady Christina said to Miller.“I agree. Shameless asshole!” Paxton glared at Miller in disgust.Meanwhile, Megan had waited for Grey's boss to be down with his business meeting. She was sitting outside his office when she saw different individuals walking out of the office.“You may go in, ma'am.” “It's about time.” Megan muttered as she stood and walked into the office. She had waited for about 20 minutes for what she thought wouldn't be up to 5 minutes.“We meet again, Ms. Megan Grant.” James turned his seat to face her. He stood from his seat, walked up to her and gave her a kiss on
“Let me through, it's been almost an hour and my wife is still not out! I want to see her!” Miller demanded, his voice echoing the entire building, causing everyone to stop and watch the commotion.“Listen, mister, you can't go in there! My boss might just chop your head off if he sees you!” Grey yelled back at Miller while the other securities stood in Miller's way, stopping him from going into the elevator.“Get out of my way or you won't like what I'll do to you!” Miller was calm. He didn't want to create a scene but he was left with no choice.Megan should have been out of there centuries ago. But up till now, she was still up there with a man he had no idea of.What if something has happened to her and they were all just here without a knowledge of whether she was okay or not?What could she be doing there? Plus, what could she and Grey's boss be discussing for hours? He thought she promised not to take long? He had this worried look on his face and he sure as hell wanted to see
Megan stretched her palm close to James face, “You see the ring, Mr. Rowland?” She asked, “I'm married. I could do something else. But being your mistress is out of the picture. I would never hurt my husband like that.” Megan explained as she walked over to the door and opened it.Though her family doesn't consider Miller her husband, he was still Aliyah's father. She wouldn't wanna destroy her child's life by getting in with someone else. Though Miller wasn't capable, she believes they could work something out later in the future.Sensing that Megan had rejected all his offer and was about to leave, James rushed over to her. He places both his palms on her arms, “You’d rather disgrace your family members when you know deep down in you, you could have helped with the situation?” Megan was speechless for a second. He was right. Could she really watch them get employed here rather than helping?“Think about it. You walk out of this place and change into our employees uniform and so ar
“Oh, you don't have to do that… I can handle it.” Miller stopped Tasha from giving her card to the waitress who was about to collect it.“It's fine. I just want to help. It's no big deal. Just let me do it.” Tasha said to Miller.Miller shook his head, “No. By the time my wife is back, it's going to be settled. I'd pay.”“Shut the hell up, Miller!” Eleanor shouted.“Leave him, mum… haha!” Paxton laughed, “Let him disgrace us for the second time. He enjoys it. Bro thinks he's 3 million dollars rich.” “It's enough, Paxton. I'll clear the bills.” Miller said to him.“And where are you going to get it from? You intend to steal it?” Christina asked.“I'd find a way, Grandma.” Miller said but Tasha simply chuckled before handing her card to the waitress.“I guess it's all against you, Mr. Miller…” Tasha smiled seductively as she got her card back then the waitress returned back to her post. Tasha turned before instructing her bodyguards to take Grey and the security officers out which they
Megan swallowed hard. “Uh, I thought… I thought…” She paused and turned to Tasha.“It was you? Oh, thank you so much…” “It's no big deal.” Tasha waved it off.Megan bit her lower lips, putting a smile on, trying to act like everything was cool. She had a lot of questions in her mind. Like where was Grey? She thought James had him clear the bills?While Megan and Tasha discussed, Miller smiled. James being here wasn't coincidental. He didn't know if he wanted to help or he had helped but Megan's rushing to leave earlier was suddenly gone. She wasn't leaving anymore and she was now laughing with the daughter of Mr. Banks.“....I know right… haha.” Megan laughed at Paxton's joke as they walked out of the building.“Here is my card.” Tasha stretched her hands out, “You can call me anytime.” Megan reached for it with a smile, “Thank you, Ms. Banks. And I appreciate your generosity.” Natasha nodded, got into her car while the Grants did the same. Though the situation lasted for 4 hours,
The Grant family was sitting by the pool side when Miller and his wife drove into the compound. Miller had Megan registered somewhere he wanted just both of them to be aware of.By the time they both got out of Miller's obviously bad looking car, Ava, Megan's cousin's, Paxton and two others started murmuring, their faces etched with irritation at the sight of Miller.“I'm sure the car stopped a billion times before they got here. Hahaha!”“Is that a car? Or an ancient wheelbarrow? Hahaha!”“Hahaha!” Ava and the rest mocked while Levi read his newspapers with a displeased look. And old lady Christina drank her cocktail.Miller greeted, “Good day, Granny… Mother…. Dad…”“Good afternoon y'all.” Megan did the same and they were about to go pick what they came back home for when Old lady Christina's words caused them to stop.“Aren't you two going to join us?”Megan looked at Miller then turned to her, “Not at all, Grandma… Uh… we have to be somewhere…”“Where?” Eleanor, Old lady Christin
Miller's jaw dropped at that instant. “Honey?” He robbed her shoulders. This was the first time she has done something this brave in front of him. He never expected her to do that..... He could give her the heavens if she asks for it.Before Miller could process it, a resounding slap landed on Megan's cheek.“Ouch!” Megan, who was fragile, moved back, her hand to her cheeks as she realized who just hit her. It was her grandmother, her mother or even her father…. It was Paxton!“Why did you slap her, Paxton?!” Eleanor scolded and so did Levi and old lady Christina.“Bitch! Do you know what it took for me to get that done for you to tore it to threads like it was your money?” He shouted.“But I gave you the money to do it! Why did you hit her!” Miller roared, much to everyone's surprise.“Huh?” “What?”“Wait.. you did what?” They all exclaimed. Megan, whose cheek was burning up, turned to look Miller in the eye, “You gave him the money to print out divorce papers?” “Omg, Megan…. You'
