"I'm sorry. Did I hear you say no?" Yura asked, appalled and watched as he walked away. She stopped midstride briefly, trying to discern why he would give up on such an amazing opportunity. Lord Duncan was the wealthiest man in the city; anyone would be lucky to work for him, especially with how much he paid his workers.Yura allowed a few moments to pass and then went after Dennis"You've not even heard the details of the job," she reasoned, hoping to sway his mind"And I don't need to," Dennis riposted sharply A scoff escaped Yura's mouth. If she didn't know better, she would've thought Dennis was playing hard to get, so they would offer him more benefits and higher pay.Yura had to admit, he was driving a tough bargain so far. And come to think of it, he wasn't a typical doctor, a man with gifts such as he deserved to be paid much higher.She looked at him and decided to play along. Yura smiled faintly, hastened towards him and grabbed his hand"One million dollars a month", she
Dennis headed towards the toolshed in his backyard. He checked his watch and saw that it was 5 p.m.According to the books he read while on the island, the setting sun provided energy that was in sync with the rise of the moon. Practicing the special arts at this moment meant that one was at the peak of their energy field.Dennis House in Glendale had an outdoor toolshed a few metres away from the house, connected by a paved pathway with lush and green vegetation.Having been away for three years, these eddishes had overgrown, creating narrow walkway-like hedges to the toolshed.Dennis found this the perfect place to perform Jangi. The toolshed had an overhead glass roof, exposing it directly to the energy of the sun and the moon.As he walked through the narrow pavement, the droplets of rain formed a bubble around him, and the puddles on the ground were pushed away by the energy exuding him. This was a level of Sul only a few people could perform, where a great master could push aw
"You want me back?" Dennis exclaimed, unable to believe his ears. Letting out a breath, Dennis crossed his arms and then adjusted, trying to adjust to the thoughts in his mind. He stepped backwards and glanced at Sasha again, trying to digest his shock."Wh-what?!" Dennis's voice echoed through the room"You divorced me!" He exclaimed annoyedSeeing the frustration in Dennis's eyes, Sasha regretted her choice of words, but it was too late to take it back. "I made a mistake with you, I see it now","I didn't want to leave you, Dennis. I love you", Dennis scoffed "You love me? Do you hear how ridiculous you sound?", "If you've already forgotten, let me jog your memory; you were terrible to me, despite everything I had done for you, you threw me out of the house", "My mother threw you out of our house, not me," Sasha said and threw up her arm,"She is responsible for everything that went wrong between us. She convinced me to sign the divorce papers",Dennis stood there without talki
"Hello," she called softlyDennis blinked her into view but still could not believe she was standing in front of him.Tried as he did, he could not discern any reason why she was standing in front of him. As she continued to stare at her, he was at a loss for words. He felt his heart beating faster and his stomach felt warmer.She wore a tight lacy skirt that exposed a little bit of her thighs, with a white blouse that elegantly displayed her shoudlers, and Converse high tops. Her hair flowed graciously over her shoulders.It had been a while since Dennis had felt this much of a rush.Seeing her the other day at the Lord's mansion, he had not paid much attention to her looks; the white coveralls she wore hid her lustrous beauty and curves."Kuza?" Dennis managed to say, appalled, still enchanted by her sight. He glanced at her bare shoulders and quickly averted his eyes.She smiled at him courteously,"Hello, Mr. Apollo", Her voice soothing and enticing Dennis looked around uncomfor
Immediately after Sasha left, Kuza turned shyly to Dennis and smiled even more awkwardly.Dennis returned an awkward smile and quickly apologized "Sorry about that", he said, letting out a breath; he walked from the hallway towards the kitchen. Kuza followed and tried to lighten the mood; she waved her hand and scoffed"Oh, don't worry about that; I've had my share of bad partners. I know how it is".Dennis paused and smiled; he knew she only said that to make light of the situation and appreciated how civil she was. Shortly after, he started walking, pulled out a seat and, with a sweep of his hand, motioned courteously "Please".After Kuza sat comfortably, Dennis reached into the fridge and then turned sharply to her"Water or soda?" He asked politely. Looking at the contents in his fridge, he hoped she'd pick the former, as he didn't have any soda in his fridge. There were only cans of beer and wine, and Kuza didn't look like the kind of girl to enjoy a cold brew."Just water,"
"Think about the offer Dennis," Kuza said and patted him lightly on the shoulder. She turned to walk away but then accidentally tripped on a lamp cord.As she was about to fall, Dennis reached out and grabbed her by the waist, holding on to her.Kuza stared into his eyes deeply, she felt a sudden chill run down her spine as their faces were separated by just a few inches.After seeing Dennis with Sasha, she had been convinced that whatever she was feeling was just a spur of the moment, but staring deep into his eyes right now, she couldn't ignore it any longer. She had fallen for this enchantment of a man.Dennis's hand lightly caressed the smart of her back and his piercing Hazel eyes stared deep into the depths of her soul. She was captivated, almost like magic, she tried to speak but her voice was shaky and her lips trembled"Watch your steps," Dennis said finally breaking the intensifying moment and bringing her out of her trance.Kuza's lips curled into a shy smile, her eyes nar
A few moments later, Dennis tossed his phone aside out of frustration. He had been staring at the text for more than ten minutes and still couldn't find a tangible lead.He walked over to the fridge and brought out a carton of milk. Today's breakfast was raisins with milk. As he poured the milk into the bowl, he stirred it for moments, unable to dismiss the thought and then suddenly, his mind reverted to someone he had ignored.'Could this be from the head of the Druick Pharmaceuticals?'He pondered He quickly pulled out his phone and went online to search through the Internet for any mentions of the Druick Pharmaceuticals hoping to find some information about its owner, or the things they were involved in.But as he scrolled through, there was no incriminating information or anything about their owner.'Well they're thorough, I'll give them that' he muttered and tossed the phone aside.He comfortingly ran his hand through his hair, trying to calm the frustration that was rising.How
Laying back in the passenger seat of the Rolls Royce, Dennis was replaying the events of this morning, still trying to figure out a lead on who was the Head of Druick Pharmaceuticals. Kuza glanced at him and saw the disturbed look on his face,"Everything okay?" She asked softly with concernWith a sigh, Dennis hunkered his head over the car seat and pushed himself forward. Clearing his throat and composing himself, he said "I'm fine" nicely, and smiled at Kuza faintlyNodding, Kuza sat back comfortably. She wasn't convinced that everything was as he said it was, but she figured he wasn't in the mood to talk about it and decided not to pursue itShortly, after a few minutes of driving, Kuza pulled the car in front of the company.Duncan's Pharmaceuticals was the largest Pharmaceutical company in the country, seconded by Druick, they were at the forefront of every medical invention and advancement, with medical professionals and biochemists producing quality drugs that were outreached
