2024-10-29 19:42:56The next day, Dustin was invited to a party to celebrate the launch of a new business from Laura's company. She didn't invite him of course, but Alara had been invited.
"An invitation from the Winston group, sir. She has been sending emails nonstop that we showed up." Alara had said to him."Then let's attend," he said.Before heading to the venue, Dustin made sure he had prepared a lovely tuxedo with a fine Italian shoe. He didn't care if he overdressed. Then, his haircut was styled into something decent and classic.Dustin, being a tall handsome man, was now looking like a rich man already.Meanwhile, Laura was very anxious. She greeted a few of her guests but knew that if the event didn't go as planned, she wouldn't have the upper hand in making it to the list of companies that will partner with Matyrs motors!And although Tobin had promised her money and power, she still would like it if the CEO of Matyrs motors showed up."You seem worried, my love. What is it?" Tobin asked her.Laura had chosen a green floral dress that swept the floor in elegance. Her hair was styled to a neat bun and she had makeup on. But there was still worry on her face."I just wish that a representative from Matyrs motors can show up. That's it." She said to him."But baby I'm here. I'm the CEO of conrad motors. You know what? Let me make a few calls right now." Tobin said proudly.Laura was glad for him in her life. "Thank you so much!"She welcomed a few other guests, until a man walked up to the stage to make an announcement."Hello everyone? Guess what? We have prestigious people in the house, everyone. Let us welcome miss Alara, vice president of the Matyrs motors!" The man said, and people were already clapping in excitement."Yes! You did it, Tobin." Laura said as she kissed Tobin.Tobin, who had not even made any calls, smiled. He looked shocked to see Alara there!But he pretended like it was his connection that brought her. "Of course love. Anything for you!""But she's not coming alone. She's actually here with none other than, the great CEO of Matyrs motors! Mr. Rodriguez!" the man announced.Laura frowned. Tobin gulped in, wondering what the CEO was doing there! The crowd roared in excitement and mostly curiosity.Just then, Alara walked in, as well as Dustin beside her! People were stunned. Even Laura nearly fainted."What? This young man is the CEO??" someone said."Impossible, he's so young!" exclaimed another.People began to talk, completely shocked by the scene.With a smirk on his face, Dustin stopped and nodded to Alara. She alone went up on stage."Hello everyone. I have an announcement to make. It is a pity the CEO will not be attending today. But he sent his regards through this young man over there." Alara said.The crowd seemed to relax."Of course there's no way he's the CEO!" Tobin said laughing to himself."Also, Mr. Tobin Conrad, you have been warned. If you don't stop and apologize to Mr. Rodriguez soon, you will meet your demise. He said to tell you this." Alara added. "Good night.""What!" Tobin was furious. "This foolish boy is testing my patience!" He said to Laura."Dustin, how did you even come here? Who let you in!" Laura demanded."Does it matter?" He replied."Just shut up. Let's send him out right now!" Tobin said."I wouldn't if I were you." Alara said. "You'll be making the biggest mistake of your life.""Ha! What's he possibly going to do?" Tobin said."It's either you're so dumb or your so stupid. You're both, actually. This is Alara standing here, and you're still talking with disrespect." Dustin said.Laura realized he was right. "I'm so sorry miss Laura. Apologize, Tobin." She said."Right. But I still have more power over her. I know this CEO person too! So don't panic much, love. And you miss Alara, you can leave now." Tobin bragged.Dustin knew he was so arrogant because his father has a soft spot for him. But now, he is the CEO! It's no longer his father!"Come here stupid." Dustin said to Tobin. "Let's make a deal here. I will send you out of Matyrs motors by Monday. And you, you won't ever be partners with us. Unless if you're lucky and I'm in a good mood in the future to come." He said.Laura scoffed. "Okay Dustin. Stop getting all delusional. Stop the act of pretending you're rich! Bianca told me what happened to her. It's obvious you're faking these acts of being rich, but stop now!""Lady, you were his wife. Now, you're a lowly woman so watch the way you speak with him." Alara warned.Laura hated how Alara was all over Dustin. Did she like him or what?"No love. He's right. I haven't had fun in a long time. Let's make this deal, you fool. I'll send you away from your cleaning job by Monday. I'll make sure you don't even get any job here in New York!" Tobin said."Great then. You will come and kneel before me, Tobin. I promise you that. And you, Laura, you'll regret treating me like this." Dustin said. "Come on Alara, let's go."Suddenly, seeing Dustin all bold and confident made her want him again. She always adored powerful men.Tobin was literally fuming now. He picked up his phone and made a phone call. "I need you to do something about that pathetic worker of yours, Dustin!"

The next day, Dustin received a call, waking him up from his sleep. "You dummy, come to work right now!" It was the voice of his boss, Michael.Dustin frowned. "I'm sorry, but it's too early to summon me right now." "What?!" Michael roared. "You missed work yesterday because it was your off day. But what about today?? Huh!"Dustin had had enough of his boss. He hung up, and continued his sleep.After a couple of hours and plenty missed calls from his boss, he dressed up in one of his new corporate wears and decided to head to the restaurant."I need to tell Michael I'm quitting anyway. And settle my debt with Yasmine." He decided. Heading to the restaurant, his boss was already fuming with rage. He didn't understand why Dustin was dressed so nicely when he only wanted to clean and mop the floor."Look at how you're dressed! And how dare you come to work by this time!"

No need to hide it anymore, Tobin.” Alara said.His brows squeezed together in anger. Then he turned to see Laura glaring at him. “This must be a mistake, my love. Oh look, a message from my bank!” He lied.“What does it says?” Laura asked him.“Its a message. They're undergoing a system upgrade. I knew it! I'm going to sue this bank, I swear it!” Tobin continued to lie.Dustin just watched and smiled. Later, he said to the lady confidently. “Don't worry, lady. You'll still get your money. I want to buy the necklace.” Deep down, Laura was curious. Her mother sneered and Tony laughed out loud.“You poor thing! Ha!” Exclaimed Tony. Tobin waited too.

It was too devastating for him to watch.Alara called him immediately she saw the news but he would not pick. So she rushed over to his house as fast as she could.He was even too stunned to speak by the time Alara had arrived.“Sir, are you alright? You need to say something.” She said shaking him for any form of emotion. He said nothing and just stared in shock. They went to the scene and the police were already there, finding out their evidence. A tall man walked up to meet them. “Alara, hi.”“Sir, this is Mathew. He will be leading this case.

“What? Are you insane?” Dustin exclaimed. “Where would you have me find such money? I really think you should leave now, Tom.”Tom only continued to laugh. “Why are you so funny, friend!” He wheezed out.“No, you're the one being funny. Where do you expect me to get that amount of money?” Although Dustin was lying! That amount was just like a cent to him.“Wait friend, are you being serious?” How can you say this right to my face? Look at your office! Look at everywhere! You must be a millionaire!” Tom exclaimed.Dustin gave a loud sigh. “I just started working here weeks ago, you know that.

The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez The conference meeting
Everyone turned and saw a well built man with long hair falling loose on his shoulders. He looked at least in his early fifties. The man sighted Ezra and bowed slightly. “Master Ezra, I didn't know you were here.”“Sir, I'm sorry, but this man won't pay up–” Freddy quickly said, not to offend his boss, but Ezra walked past him towards the middle aged man.“Sir, I didn't know he was your guest. I wonder what you see in him.” Ezra said, then next thing Dustin knew, he was smiling.“We were just talking nicely together. No one was fighting at all.” Ezra said.Dustin kept quiet, watching the drama before him. Why was that Ezra guy suddenly acting to be nice?“Oh is that so, master Ezra? Well, I'd like to attend to my guests now.” He said, then frowned at Freddy. “Get back to work now!” “Well I'll leave you two now.” Said Ezra to the middle-aged man.

New thing
Dustin tried to calm his wife down. He realized that she had been truly angered by Esther sudden behavior for wanting to create a grand wedding for Tom and not her. It was truly devastating and he couldn't deny that. "Alara?" He called out to her, knocking gently on the door. His voice remained as warm as early spring, as if her heart beat so steadily even though she took a different view from him. She simply said this was her way of doing things. He could see her balk at first, so accustomed he was the to ways of Alara and her fiery temper. He was different, because he absorbed things and then responded more than reacted, dampened situations rather than adding to the flames. And so before he knew it everything was happy again, it was love all around instead of the bickering he was so accustomed to. It was a sense of calm he grew to love.And he would be teaching it to his wife now. "This path of life is challenge enough," he began to say. Dustin remembered a little of what his moth

Lies
On this cloudy morning there are growing patches of blue, the sort of hue that is soft and bright at the same time. Though beneath the sheet of cloud is a grey that deepens to steel, the leading edge is a brilliant white, as if it is the pages of a new book ready for any curious eye. So, on this day that could bring rain or sunshine, I'm hoping for both, for the chance of a rainbow and to feel so much more because the day is blessed with clouds.Light grew steadily outside until the curtains glowed just the same as stained glass. Kevin stuck his head behind the fabric to survey what the day might bring. The road was slick with water, though the puddles remained quite still, no hint of rain still falling. Above the clouds were still grey but without the denseness of yesterday, allowing patches of blue to form.In good moods a writer may paint words that are fine wine and soft music; words that contain more healing medicine than all the drugs created by man.

Paul set out to visit Dustin that day, and as he arrived their doorstep, he decided to make a phone call to his sister so she wouldn't say he came in unaware. The phone rang a few times and she still hadn't picked up. When he learned to soothe his impatient self, the rewards were significant. His focus improved, and his relationships became more mellow, and everything in his day worked that little bit better. It made all the difference. Over time he saw others learning from him, relaxing, and the vibe of his family took a turn for the better. She still wasn't picking up for whatever reasons. Finally at the last ring, she picked up. "Yes, Paul ? What do you want?" Asked her voice in a quite impatient manner, like she had been in a hurry. "Where are you to be hurrying me like that?" He asked, wondering why his sister was using that manner to refer to him. Then it hit him. She didn't really like him as well as her husband, and he certainly couldn't blame them at all. He probably would

"Well, we don't have a head queen so technically, I'm speaking on behalf of her." "Well I don't agree. Until we have a head queen, you don't have the right to strip me off my membership." She said, still standing strong on her word. She was terrified on the inside of course! But she would not show her weaknesses. Regina frowned. "Well until then. But for now, being the owner of my house I say this to you. Get out of my house!" She ordered and more laughter grew wild again. Esther couldn't help but feel nothing but shame. But she wouldn't be waking away just like that. She strode over to Regina then stood face to face with her. "You're going to regret this Regina. In fact, all of you will regret this. I will make an attendance of everyone of you in this room. Regina, Dana, camera woman Anna, Rachel, Danielle, in fact all of you. And I remember vividly of the faces in the room here.

Message
For the first time in weeks, Mindy made her way over to Dustin again, and she couldn't even explain how exactly she was feeling. For one reason, she was angry. Very frustrated that he was still married to his goddamn wife! She loved him and would always do. And yet, not even for once had he reciprocated her feelings. Heaving in a deep sigh, she advanced forward to make a knock on the door. "Don't worry, Mindy. Breath it in," and with that, she made a knock on the door. It hadn't been a loud bang, rather barely more than a slight knock, but almost immediately, the door had flung wide open. "Oh God, you're back..." He was standing before her, staring like he had been day dreaming, probably wondering what the fuck she had been doing at his footstep. "Oh I thought you were someone else," he said so apologetically. That frustrated her even more. He had probably been excited thinking that she was his dear wife! She had better not show her true emotions to avoid failing on the first day o

The breakup
"This relationship, Dustin, should be a relation-ship, or a kinship - something that makes us family. I want it to be something that unites our friends, our relations, and not become as a boat cast adrift away from those we know and love. What is good builds up goodness, heals and includes others. What is good is a benefit to us and our community, to the world. It is how we let this love for one another spill out, make a light for others to share. So, my love, hoist the sail; we're homeward bound.""Wait you just thought of saying something as compelling as this to me because what?" He said to her, half shocked. She only smiled back, her eyes and dimples crinkling as she did. Alara was very beautiful although she never seemed to listen to him whenever he made mention of it to her. "Thank you a lot for the comforting words. I won't forget. You know," but he stopped then grinned as he thought of what to say and he knew already that she might have not been too impressed.

"Sir, I have done as you've asked. What is your plan now?" Mindy asked as she saw Dustin talking to himself. She sat with him. He didn't even do as if someone was there, just minding his own business and calculating now and what he would do to his rival. Sometimes she always wondered what it was that was truly going on in that mind of his, but she knew he was very smart and full of advices and plans. And she was always so glad that she was now on their team.Business had to ask themselves if they were exploiting the population or uplifting them, especially in relation to the young and if not, it failed. For what is psychological maturity other than learning how to make wise choices to protect others? The glorification of greed was as a golden tricycle being pedalled in circles at the end of a cul-de-sac... yet believing itself a fancy car shooting into the far horizon. Greed is always the product of a brain with underdevelopment of its more highly evolved features. But there he was
