The van arrived at the popular Dulux resort and the Grant family walked out of it.“Paxton, what is it that you can't just tell us right away? I'm getting really anxious.” Eleanor giggled as they walked into the place and settled in.“Yes, just tell us already. We really wanna hear about the big announcement.” Levi added.“Common people… let's go outside. Our table has been set. I will make the announcement there. Let's go…. The table is filled with different Continental dishes.” Paxton announced.No member of the family was left out. Not even Master Franco. They were all present and they all changed and walked out to see the long table by the poolside. It was indeed filled with hot and juicy looking food.“That's a lot, Grandson.”“Yes! This is huge! I can't wait to dive in.”“Whatever your announcement is, I already know it's huge! Look at that food.” Ava and the rest laugh.“True.” Megan adds and they all took their seats before grabbing their cutleries.When Paxton revealed to the
After the family took turns in congratulating Paxton, Master Franco had a proud expression, “This indeed is worth more than celebrating here! Signing such a huge business deal with such an amount is incredible!” He smiled proudly.“Of course. Our Paxton has made us proud. He's taking the family's name to the next level!” Levi nodded like a proud Father that he is.“Oh, my goodness! I still can't control my happiness!!! Son, you've made me so proud…. Unlike someone we all know.” Eleanor giggled, her tone filled with mockery as she stole a glance from Megan's side of the table.Miller noticed and decided to ignore her condescending remarks but Megan wasn't like him. Though she had forcefully hugged, smiled and congratulated her brother just like everyone else, she was starting to get fed up with her mother's insults.“Well, we are not sure which brand or family he made the deal with yet.” Megan said with a slight fake smile. She felt that this was quite unexpected, especially since in h
Paxton's eyes widened in belief. At first he couldn't believe his eyes. What the heck happened?“Young master Rowland… What's going on? Why did you do that? We had an agreement, didn't we?” Paxton was stunned at the turn of events. He had a sudden migraine and his heart ached as he looked down at the torn pieces of documents on the floor. His family was literally down at the pool side waiting for him to come back and celebrate with them!This can't be!“You must think I'm a fool to sign that shit!” James yelled in anger. “Not only was my restaurant almost damaged, Megan sent me a text that she'd never meet up with me in the penthouse tonight as Ms. Banks had cleared the bills and not me!” Ms. Banks bodyguard's ruined almost everything in the restaurant. It was completely damaged beyond recognition!“No…. That's impossible… her bodyguard's only had the security officers beaten up…. It must be Miller… I'm sure it was that son of a bitch! But your men were capable of teaching him a les
“You must really hate Paxton to mock him this way! Who do you intend to get to give him a bigger contract? Hahaha!” “Son of a bitch! You don't even have a job, how can you get someone to give him a bigger contract? When you need it worse than he does?” The Grants turned their attention to Miller, taking turns in embarrassing him in the midst of guests next to their table.Paxton scoffed, “Coming from you? Hahaha! You can get that person to help you get a decent pair of shoes. I'm x10 better than you'd ever be… at least I made an effort, other than you who can't give her yourself a job!”After pounding on those words, Paxton continued, “After all, since he got back from the army, he hasn't gotten a job! Don't worry, I'd look for a janitor job for him.”Megan immediately said, “He's only having a slight difficulty in getting a job after he came back! My suggestion is that… could he continue his old job? Being the family's driver?” Megan suggested, causing the whole table to burst out
Sebastian had a smirk on his face as Miller emptied his glass like it was nothing. And lucky for him, two bottles of wine were next to where they were.Of course it wasn't a coincidence, Paxton had made sure nothing stops his plan of humiliating this bastards tonight.“Oh, buddy… I see your alcohol tolerance isn't as bad as a normal soldier.. haha!” “Well, not at all..” Miller replied as he watched Seb pour in more wine into his glass. “I don't wanna have much. You know my daughter is here…” Miller shook his head.But Seb didn't seem like his ears were functioning. For a second, he acted dumb to what Miller was saying.“Cheers! Common…. Drink with me… let's just call it catching some fun… a little bit of alcohol won't be that bad, would it?” The man laughed.Miller shrugs. He indeed wanted to enjoy tonight anyway. A lot has been going on in his life, he had no idea when last he went to interesting event like this. He's always trapped in a press conference filled with powerful people
Miller smiled brightly as he turned to look his lovely wife in the face. This woman has not just stood up for him this evening, she chose to learn how to use a gun without complaining or asking too many questions on why she should be doing that. And now she's sounding so concerned about his well being and doesn't want him to get drunk. He suspects she knows her cousin's are trying to get him drunk.Fuck! What more could he ask for? He won in life getting married to a sweet soul such as Megan.He moves his lips close to her ears and whispers back, “Trust my alcohol tolerance isn't as bad as you think. I'm perfectly fine and red wine can't get me falling easily. Your cousins are actually fun. It would be bad if I just refuse when they come to me to get a drink, right?” Megan took a deep breath. From afar Miller looked drunk but hearing him speak, she could tell he was fine. Or was he putting up an act?She sighed, “Okay just take it slowly and drink responsibly.” She said and sat down
“His alcohol tolerance must be high, especially since he's an ex soldier.” Ava muttered. All efforts to get the mother fucker drunk has been useless.Paxton on the other hand was trying to keep his eyes open. He was mad with anger… Miller must have done this delicately! His plan must have backfired! He was tongue tied… Miller had outsmarted him!“Good evening, Ms. Banks.”“Oh, it's so nice to see you again, Ms. Banks.”“What a coincidence. You're welcome, Ms. Banks.”Miller and Paxton raised their heads and caught sight of Tasha Banks at their table.She was at the lounge with her cousins when she heard the karaoke song and just had to come down here.“How are you, Ms. Christina?” Tasha greeted them back in a polite manner. Her cousins whispered into her ears before taking the stairs. It was obvious they didn't wanna mingle with the poor.Since Paxton was close to the table, he gritted his teeth upon setting his eyes on the bitch who caused him his precious contract, he said, “I’m su
“Is that so? Well, Mr. Scofield, it will interest you to know that the Banks family is in need of a bodyguard and since you're a retired soldier and isn't fully booked with jobs. What do you think about getting employed at the Banks family's residence?” She was simply doing what her father wanted of her.Upon hearing the offer, Eleanor's eyes widened. Working in the Banks residence meant extra millions! “My son-in-law is interested! Yes! Yes! Yes! He'd take the job! I know the pay is mind-blowing! He'd take it! I heard employees there get paid the minimum of 70 thousand.” Tasha chuckled slightly, “With Mr. Scofield it's going to be different because he'd be the one to tell us the amount he wants to be paid. It's really up to him to decide if he's willing to do the job.” Tasha had no idea who Miller was but with her observation and how much her father wants him close? She was sure he deserves every penny. He had this aura that could tell he was surely close to the supreme god of war.
