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
As Dennis and Kuza made their way to the front entrance, all eyes were in their direction.Everyone wondered the same thing, 'Who was the mysterious young man walking beside the renowned doctor'In a few minutes, Dennis's phone was blowing up with notifications, but keeping his head straight, he refused to check them.However, when they approached the front entrance of the building, Kuza excused herself to attend to an urgent call. From the distressed look on her face, Dennis knew this was a work call and most likely from Lord Duncan himself.He anticipated seeing the old Lord today, having figured he could get unlimited authorized access to all information and records in the hospital easily from him.However, while waiting he could feel the glaring looks from all directions, even the security guards that stood at the entrance.Dennis on the other hand had a smile playing around at the corner of her lips, he could not give a damn as to why they were scrutinizing him.Tired of waiting
Kuza's eyes widened in shock as she tried to process what she had just heard. She didn't think anyone at the company would go out of their way to do something as disturbing as framing Levi Pratt, a lovable employee"What?!" She exclaimed "Why would anyone want to frame Pratt?" She asked raising an eyebrow.Dennis sighed and continued.Kuza listened to him with undivided attention, eager to hear the news that could help liberate her friend or at most clear his name and image."If I'm to guess, I would say for a lot of reasons. It could be someone who was put for him and wanted his position","But that would make you a target" Kuza interjected sharply"Except that I never wanted this job" Dennis reminded and she nodded recalling what it took to get him onboard"It could also be that someone else, the real culprit had stolen the funds and chose to frame his subordinate when the company found out about the lost assets", Dennis said"Subordinate?" Kuza asked with a raised eyebrow"Yes" De
Mark walked towards Dennis excitedly and stretched out his hand to greet him. However, Dennis's hands remained in his pockets as he stared at him objectively.Mark wasn't the face he expected to see, he recollected when he saw him at the Lord's mansion that he accused them of trying to kill Lord Duncan. His sudden switch in attitude seemed fishy. Mark's hand was still extended for a few minutes, suddenly his face darkened red as Dennis refused his handshake."Wow tough crowd," the chairman said and burst out in an awkward peal of laughter.He shifted his gaze to Kuza but then his laughter died down when he realized that only he was laughingAnd then his countenance suddenly changed, still he tried to maintain his warm approach and tried to debunk how Dennis was acting towards him. But as he tried to turn and walk back, Dennis suddenly grabbed his hand firmly and shook it"Thanks for having me," he said warmly with a wry smileThe chairman stared at his hand for a few moments and th
Dennis had remained quiet the whole time, refusing to weigh in his opinions on the hot-button issue. Apparently, he figured as long as he still had a job within the company and a way to access confidential information, it didn't matter what funding he received to make a cure.Besides, he didn't need it. His technique has always been traditional medicine and using the powers of martial arts and mastery of the universe and how to manipulate its energy.But when The chairman called his attention, he snapped back to reality, being lost in his thoughts."Huh?" He asked suddenly"Do you think you have what it takes to come up with a cure if you're given the necessary funding?" Mark repeated his question.Dennis gazed at Kuza and saw the anxious look on her face,He nodded affirmatively and Mark rubbed his palms together."Alright then, seems you've got us a savior," Mark said teasingly and then shifted his gaze to Kuza"Don't let us down again" he said sternly, and she rolled her eyes at h
