Dennis's uncle, Jon Apollo walked into his office that afternoon and his secretary rushed toward him immediately"Welcome sir, there's someone waiting for you in your office," she said worriedlyAs soon as she spoke, Jon immediately stopped and turned toward her, glaring at her"What do you mean someone's waiting for me in my office?" Jon asked with confusion on his face The young assistant was so frightened that she responded immediately "I'm sorry sir, I tried to stop him but sir, he was the Mayor" she announced still in shockAs soon as he heard those words, Jon's face turned green before a smirk casually appeared on his face "Deshaun" he muttered, turned to his assistant, and said"Shift my appointment with Mr Lawson. Tell him the Mayor came visiting",The girl nodded although seeming confused, "Alright sir, I'll give him a call right away"Jon smiled coyly, rubbed his palms in anticipation, and then strode toward his officeThis was not far from what he expected. He knew it was
After he met with Jon, Deshaun spotted Victor by the elevator as he was leaving. Uncertain that it was him, he squinted his eyes staring at the manAt the moment, Victor had his arm open wide waiting for an embrace and Deshaun stared keenlyHe saw an elegant lady wearing an expensive Chanel, with a wide grin plastered on her face approach Victor and then hug himFrom the distance, Deshaun tried his hardest to make out who she was. He knew every major person in this city, but somehow he could not recognize this womanDeciding to find out for himself, he composed himself and walked towards and greeted them warmly Victor gritted his teeth in dismay when he saw Deshaun, wondering what the man was doing here"Mr Mayor, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were following me. We need to stop running into each other like this" Victor sneeredDeshaun smiled upon his remark and extended his arm to the radiant and beautiful lady in front of him, completely ignoring Victor, which only made the
Left to Dennis, he wouldn't have attended his uncle's party, but Deshaun was not compromising. He insisted on having Dennis attend the management and eventually managed to convince him He went on the internet and searched for nearby boutiques that were not so popular. Maintaining a low profile was of prime importance now, and after searching for a few minutes, he found a nearby boutique, and then quickly texted Deshaun to meet him thereGivon's Boutique was a blend of luxury and casual wear. The hotel was designed in such a way that the entire left wing of the building was designated for luxurious clothes, while the right was for traditional every day to day wearBut because of how exotic and grand the left wing of the boutique was, many people who shopped in the casual attire section sometimes pretended to shop for luxury items just so they could put on the clothes and take pictures for their social media brandBecause of this, the boutique manager was particularly vigilant of shopp
The sales agent immediately seemed terrified and pointed at Dennis. She felt for sure that her boss was going to scold her and tried to avert the blame on Dennis instead"Sorry ma, but this man came in here asking for Michael Kors collection. I tried to tell him to scramble that he couldn't afford the necklace but he kept insisting", she explained, but before she could continue further, Lydia interjected and chided rudely"Are you telling me that this loser can afford a Michael Kors suit? Are you blind? Do you really think that a man like this has eight million dollars? If you're blind, tell me now so I can fire you from this store right this instant"From her observation, Lydia concluded that Dennis was just a poor loser who could not afford even some thousand-dollar clothes from the casual attire sectionShe turned her gaze towards Dennis and sneered in disdain "If you're here to cause trouble please leave the store, otherwise you can apologize to my employee and she can show you to
Lydia was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact, but it had unfolded right in front of her eyesWho was this man really? What was his real background? How could he make the Mayor bow before him like a lowly peasant?In a shocked daze, Lydia mumbled "How, how is this possible?",Everyone else was just as confused and took out their phones to capture the scene, but Deshaun's bodyguards immediately cleared the scene, giving them only a view of Dennis's backDennis smirked, then turned to Lydia and said "You mentioned you've never seen that much cash before, take a good look at it now","Yes, I see it. I see it now..." Jane muttered defeatedly "Do you remember our deal, Ms Green?" Dennis suddenly askedLydia's face twitched in dismay when Dennis brought it up. She didn't think that under no circumstances would he have the eight million dollarsAfter hesitating for some moments, she then nodded gently "Yes, I remember" She was hoping that Dennis would not hold a grudge against h
Dennis glanced at her coldly and said "Are you surprised Lydia? You didn't think that a poor nobody like me could be the heir to the Apollo family fortune did you?" "Mr Apollo, please forgive me. I was out of my mind just now, please. It's all because of my filthy mouth, I did not mean to offend you sir" she said and quickly dropped to the ground, crawled towards Dennis, and bowed vigorously "Please, forgive me, sir"Dennis remained quiet for a while, then snorted in dismay "Lydia Green. Why exactly should I forgive you now? We had a bet, didn't we? No amount of begging can change my mind now",Lydia suddenly grabbed his feet, wailing loudly "Please, let's call it even. See, I'm kneeling now, let's just let bygones be bygones. I will even offer any collection from the luxury store, it's on the house" Deshaun was about to speak when Dennis raised his hand and signaled him to stop"Any collection?" He repeated sneering at her"Yes Mr Apollo, anything you want from the luxury store. I
Immediately Deshaun's bodyguards hurriedly apprehended her, pinning her hands behind her backDeshaun approached her furiously and without any hesitation whatsoever, swung his arm across and landed her a hard slap"You dare attack Mr Apollo?! Are you insane?"Lydia was so intimidated, realising what she had done that she started apologising Immediately "I'm so sorry, please. I don't know what came over me, I never would attack Mr. Apollo",When Dennis saw how frightened she was, he took a few steps forward and walked towards herLydia stared at him in horror as she continued backing away, and then suddenly dropped on the floor again, "Please spare me, Mr Apollo. Please reconsider, I'll do anything to keep my job",But before she could continue, Deshaun marched towards her and kicked her angrily "B*tch who gave you the authority to ask anything of Mr Apollo. You must really want to die""Anything?" Dennis asked arching his eyebrow"Yes, yes. I'll do anything" Lydia answered frantically
"I'm not going anywhere," Deshaun said firmlyDennis frowned slightly and blurted angrily "Stop being difficult and just walk away Deshaun!""And what?!" Deshaun yelled back"Leave you to deal with all these alone?" He asked and scoffed lightly"Dennis Apollo, you haven't changed a bit. You're still the first one to rush into a fire to save everyone, but you don't want anyone saving you"As he spoke, Dennis's pupil shrank in astonishment and his face softenedDeshaun curled his lips into a soft smile and said "You said that you've endangered so many lives, and because of you they're forced into hiding. But has it ever occurred to you the lives you've saved and that you didn't force any of these people to stick up for you?",Dennis remained silent. Deshaun's words made him reflect on Apiu's unquestionable loyalty. He had expected that the man was doing so because of his mother, and never did he stop to imagine that he could be the reason Apiu, Ruelle, Lord Duncan, and everyone else wou
