“Lisa, you need to be more cautious next time. All bad things happen in just a day!,” Peter warned.
“Kann Ben is just a crazy bastard. However, he has strong allies backing him up. I’m not going to do anything about this yet. I'll plan well before going to ask him what's going on!"
Lisa narrowed her eyes. It would be rash to attack right now. She would take all of them down in one blow with Peter!
“As long as you have a plan, that’s alright.” Peter nodded.
"Peter, you've done so much, more than expected, I have no way to pay you back.” Lisa fluttered her eyelashes sexily, running her hand through her hips.
“It’s no trouble at all,” Peter replied carelessly.
“No, we owe you too much! I must return the favor!” With that, Lisa shot him a sexy smile whining her body gently like a slow motion snake.
“Can I repay you first of all with my body before we marry?
“What?” Peter was as shocked as hell.
He never thought this is what Lisa would say. Taking a closer look, he found that her beauty was different from Mary’s. She was more slender, had bigger boobs and ass, long straight hair, her face was very smooth, her skin glowing like she used a body treatment from space. She could ensnare men with her bewitching charms.
“Why are you so shocked?” Lisa’s breasts heaved as she laughed heartily at Peter’s face. Her scent caught him in this seduction. It was all Peter could do to tear his eyes away from her voluptuous curves. The more he looked at her, the harder it was not to gawk at her figure. He was being tempted so hard.
“Peter, back to the issue at hand. I need to ask a favor from you again.” Lisa ’s expression grew serious, like she wasn't the one that just tried to seduce him.
“What is it?” Peter asked.
“You know that all my bodyguards are stationed at the hospital, so I don’t have anybody to protect me. Now that this incident has happened, no one knows when the next attack could occur, will you be my personal bodyguard?"
"I need you to go with me to cases where I don't need too much people securing me, like gala nights, Atkin meetings held outside of the palace and so on, and you will have to walk along with my assigned security whenever I need you to," Lisa said so eager to have him around her.
“Personal bodyguard?” Peter raised his eyebrows. “Lisa, wouldn’t it be better to go with armed guards?”
“They might be less effective than you. A good place to come with me is today. The Atkin family will be organizing a charity gala night where a lot of personalities would be present. I'm the chief host, representing Mr. Thompson, my dad , so I can't walk up all alone and I'm single." She used this chance to let him know she was free.
"Without you, my hero, such a pretty damsel like me would be vulnerable to any attack."
“Well…” Peter hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Alright, I’ll protect you.”
She giggled, jumping on his body. Peter had to reluctantly support her by grabbing her ass, lest she would fall. She was in bliss.
It was evening at the Atkin Event Center. This was the greatest luxury event center in the whole state and it belonged to the Atkin family. This was where the ceremony was taking place. This hall was a pure heaven on earth with the lovely garden, park close to it, and unique flowers planted at strategic points. It even has a man-made lake and a water fountain which blows different colors of water.
A black Benz stopped at the entrance of the hall. A gorgeous woman dressed in a black evening gown got out of the car. She had flawless skin and legs that were so sexy. Her charming features struck the eyes of many already seated and made them turn to look at her. They began to complement her graceful motions.
“What a beautiful woman! Is she a famous model?” Some who came from other states asked.
“No, she's the managing director of the Williamson group!" The indigenes replied.
"Her face and figure are out of this world!” They commented.
“She is one of the three most beautiful ladies in the state!" One of the men remarked.
People milling at the entrance whispered among themselves, marveling at Mary’s beauty. However, none of them went forward to introduce themselves as they were too intimidated by her elegance and poise.
Mary went to sit with her love interest, Roland and her secretary, Eve who arrived here before her. After pleasantries, conversation started.
“I heard rumors that the Verizon Group is shortlisted to be one of the Atkin family’s partners. It’s not easy to be partners of such a powerful group, especially for Verizon Group. That’s why I’m here to put in a good word on your behalf. This will boost the possibility of signing a contract with the Atkin family aside being a managing director!” Roland boasted, his voice filled with confidence.
The Verizon Group was the company sponsoring Mary, it was a custom to have an outstanding company sponsor a potential politician to office.
“That would be great! Thank you, Mr. Roland!” Eve was glad for her boss.
If the Verizon Group became direct affiliates with the Atkin family, not only would this elevate the company’s reputation, her status as managing director of the Williamson group would rise significantly as well, she might even be given the head of conglomerate of the country someday.
“You’re welcome. Granting my relationship with Mary," he winked at her. "..... this is no trouble to me at all.” He then shot her a deliberate smile.
“Of course, you both are in love.” Eve returned the gesture.
Mary became distracted, her mind was no longer in their conversation but on a luxurious car in the distance. A familiar man was standing by the car.
“Could that be Peter?”
Mary finally recognized the man. After she found out the truth about that fight, she had been feeling guilty about it. Mary decided to address the misunderstanding she had with him the other day. This was her chance and a rare privilege since he doesn't attends events like this and wouldn't even pick her call. She walked up to him.“Peter!”Mary was about to continue when she stopped in her tracks. She noticed a striking figure next to Peter. The woman was dressed in a skin-tight, fiery red dress that showcased her tiny waist and alluring curves.Lisa!“Mary, nice to meet you. How may I be of help to you?” Peter’s eyes widened when he saw Mary walking toward him, but his gaze turned cold in a moment.“What a coincidence seeing you here.”Mary choked back the speech she had prepared to explain herself and greeted Peter stiffly, especially seeing Lisa. She thought she was with him for only that day.If someone had told her this was her ex's new love interest, she wouldn't have believed
Mary and Roland just had to wait for the day to be over so they could go back home. The tension and uncomfortable feeling they were getting was too much and they could not take it anymore. It was though the ground would open for them to enter, bit it did not. Lisa was treated like royalty everywhere she went to and since she was with Peter now, it commanded the same respect for him. "What is she seeing in him?" Roland asked himself as he drove back home with Mary in the front seat. Mary was not short of thought herself. "What did he do to deserve her acceptance?" She asked herself as she was also confused. She did not know what on earth would make a woman so sophisticated, a hundred times more sophisticated than her to stop to Peter's level. Mary and Roland were both quiet through out the drive to the house. Both hand their minds filled up. Roland had been crushing on Lisa since back in the days. He several times made attempts to impress her, but as was never impressed.
Lisa's mother had died a while ago. Peter came across it over the news when it happened, but hadn't discussed it with her yet. He was so concerned to see her cry like that after mentioning her mother. "My mother was the best woman in the world." She said. "While dad was busy with work and all, she would stay home with my and my brother. We were little at that time. " She told him. "She would do all the sweet things and try to make sure we were okay. She always brought us here. This was her favourite restaurant." She said. The next couple of words followed slow laughter. "She said they always got their apple pies and natural soda right.""When we got home, she would try to replicate the pie with their pies, but she could never." She added. "Her pies were great, no doubt, but there was something about this place pie. Their pie was just unique. I even tried to do mine, but it never beat it." She said. "My mom died in an accident many years ago. It made me very lonely. I had to join
Peter woke up early the next morning. When he got out of the house, he saw that the whole place was busy. Everyone was awake, preparing for the return of Mr. Thompson. He walked through the hall way an met Lisa when he entered the kitchen. Lisa was with the maids, cooking. She saw him come in and become excited. "Good morning Peter. " She greeted him gleefully. "Good morning. " He said to her. He was also glad to see her. She walked up to him. "Why didn't you wake me up early to join in the preparation?" He asked her. "I did not want to disturb you. Besides, we have everything covered here." She replied him. "Does not matter." He replied. "I would still like to help." He said to her. "Well, you can come work here with us in the kitchen." She said to him. Peter let out a laugh. He found it hilarious. There was more manly things to do, but she wanted him to do that one. "Well, it is what I did when I was at home with my ex wife." He said to himself. "It's nothing I can't handl
Thompson was now very upset that his daughter was living in his house with a guy, a guy he knew. Nothing of. Little did he know that this was the man that saved his life. His son and brother did not bother to tell him either. They wanted to see violence play out instead of peace. They did not like him and so they wanted him out of the house. At home. Everything was done and they were ready to welcome Thompson back home. They had all lined up and laid red carpets for him to walk on when he got home. Peter was the last person to be outside. He spent a lot of time freshening up after the preparation. He was scared about going out and wanted to spend the rest of the day inside, but had to toughen up as a man and go outside. "I have seen worse things before." He said to himself. "How bad could these ones possibly be?" He comforted himself with those words before heading outside. Outside, he walked straight to Lisa. She looked at him with a smile on her face. "I thought you were go
Thompson already had a bad impression about the man he saw. He thought to himself that Peter was trying to take advantage of his daughter or something. He was going for absolute confrontation. He would also caution his daughter, but first, he had to deal with the rascal he just saw. As he walked to Peter, his daughter and other followed him. Joel was laughing within him because he would enjoy the drama that was about to go off. "What are you?!" Thompson asked Peter with a thundering voice on reaching. This made Peter more afraid that he had ever been. "The man who saved you dad." Lisa stepped in and said with a smile. "The man who saved me?" Thompson said. He was confused. "Good morning sir." Peter quickly greeted with a trembling voice. Thompson was not really interested in the greeting at this point. He wanted to know who Peter was. "The person the doctor said magically healed you, this is him." Lisa further explained to her father. The father finally got it. "You are the o
Thompson and his family went along to eat at the dining. Peter was not there because it was only for family and he was not part of the family, at least not yet. He was in his room, getting prepared for what would be a serious conversation between him and Thompson. He knew it would come to that sooner or later. He had to be prepared. Thompson was a very cautious man though. He knew when to bring issues up and when not to. Even if Peter healed him, Peter's relationship with his daughter bothered him. He however was not the type that would bring it up on the dining table. This was a happy moment and it had to be kept that way. They chatted and talked about all sorts of things while they ate. From work to fun stuffs and everything that happened while he was away. It was after eating and retiring to his room that he called for his daughter. She went into the room to meet him. "How are you feeling? " She asked her father when she got in. "As jumpy as a ten year old boy." Her fathe
Peter and Mr. Thompson engaged in an interesting conversation. Mr. Thompson was very impressed by his vast business idea. "I know the position I will give to you. It will.be announced my work welcome back party. " He told Peter. Peter was now excited. He did not know what it would be, bit he know it would be definitely better than what he did when he was with his ex wife. When Mr. Thompson came out and saw Lisa, he said to her. "That is a good man you have found there, hold him tight." This made Lisa smile uncontrollably. The news about his welcome party soon reached the corners of the country. No one really knew he was sick, but they all knew he was not active at work for some reasons. Now that he was back, they hosted welcome back party for him. The party was going to be big. Politicians, and business men were invited. It was compulsory for all the CEO and directors of the companies under him to attend. What this meant was that Mary and Roland would have to attend the party
