Quincy shook his head off from the weird encounter he had with Mr. Prescott and instructed Scott to set up his next meeting.He wasn't going to let some weird encounter make him eat away his time thinking about all he meant.At least, he was still going to get all the answers to his questions in a week when he attended the event, so it was no big deal.Fortunately, he had the two next meetings with ease and it went well without having to speak about strange things.“Scott, I need you to put an eye on a package I'm expecting,” Quincy spoke as he picked up his suit jacket and wore it.“Okay. What kind of package?” Scott asked just to know the details of what he should be expecting.“I don't know. But it is from Mr. Prescott. And it has to be handled carefully just as he said.” Quincy said.“Okay. You got me.” Scott assured him and Quincy smiled.“I should be back in thirty minutes or an hour,” he informed as he checked his wristwatch.“Alright then.”Quincy turned around and headed for
Quincy and Scott had been staring at the package on his table for a while in silence, wondering what exactly it could be.“I think we should just check it out. But I'll have to do that carefully.” Quincy finally broke the silence.“You have to be careful. Are you sure we don't need experts to do this?” Scott suggested, looking a little anxious.“No, we don't. We can't afford to let anyone know about something that was probably meant to be classified. On the brighter side, it might not be a timer bomb.” Quincy said as he stared at the package.“Okay, you're right. We should open it.”“Let's do this,” Quincy uttered and slowly pulled the package box cover open.The moment he was able to open it up, he looked away for a while, but noticing that nothing happened, he and Scott turned their heads back to take a look at the package.“A wristwatch?” Scott spoke with a puzzled face.“I'm as perplexed as you are,” Quincy said under his breath, although he could still be heard.“So, is it a gift
While Quincy was trying to wrap his head around what had just happened which seemed more like magic to him, a call from Scott interrupted him.“Yeah. What were you able to get?” Quincy asked as he placed the wristwatch on the table.“It’s Sunrise Hospital. The directions have been sent as a text, just in case you might need them.” Scott responded.“Okay then. Until tomorrow. Thanks.” He appreciated him and ended the call.Quincy then went through his text and saw the directions to the hospital. He hoped that tomorrow wouldn’t be too late to go to the hospital because he wasn’t certain of how fatal the injury was. It could have been a light injury which would only get him to be discharged easily.He let out a sharp breath and stared back at the wristwatch.“I think I’ll just prefer to wear your hours to the event.” He uttered and placed it back into its package.Then he took it up to his bedroom with him and gently placed it on the bedside table.Quincy pulled off his clothes and went
Lauren had finally agreed to do what Quincy asked of her, but just that she hadn’t told him yet. She wanted to see how it was going to work out, first.“Yeah, just one glass will do.” She said to the bartender.“Okay! Although, I can’t guarantee that you will stick to your rule because it’s Martini!” The bartender said, with a smile.“And what’s so special about Martini?” Lauren uttered and rolled her eyes.“Hmmm. I see you might need something strong. You don’t look like you’re in a good mood.”“Look. It’s either you keep your mouth zipped up and serve me my drink or I walk out of your bar.”“Okay, okay. Easy. I’ll just serve your drink.” The bartender said and then went ahead to make her what she ordered.Not long after, Alexander came down the stairs and she spotted him even before he got to the bottom of the stairs.“You were here all along?” She asked, wondering why he was coming from right there.“Yeah. I kind of needed some space, you know. And I couldn’t think of a better plac
Quincy was driving back to his company and he kept on pondering on the reason Mr. David warned him to stay away from the E.C.E Project. And how that was enough reason to stare at him, looking horrified.~flashback~“It might seem so nice. You might feel so privileged, but at the end of it, you get hurt and will no longer be independent just the way you desire it.”~back to reality~Everything confused him all the more. He had gone to see him just to clarify things; especially the reason he looked at him that way the other night.But going to see him this morning only made things more complicated, and Mr. David wasn't willing to say more.He had threatened to call in the security.In less than an hour, he got to his company and headed to his office immediately.“Welcome.” Scott greeted him and Quincy only made a dry acknowledgement.“Is anything wrong?” Scott asked out of concern.“Scott, I don't know if you ask me. But all I know is that there's a lot of confusing things regarding the
Quincy, Scott, and Lauren clinked their glasses and chuckled as they raised them to drink.“Whoa! Tastes nice.” Quincy uttered, feeling pretty good.“Victory tastes nice,” Lauren added.“I'd like to take my leave now. I've got some other things at the office to take care of.”“Alright, Scott.” Quincy permitted and sipped the wine again.Scott smiled and excused himself while Lauren and Quincy stayed back.“I hope you edited out your name. The recording had Alexander calling your name.” “Yes. I edited it out.” Lauren confirmed with a smile.“So, Alexander is practically into a great debt and at least, Kohler knows who she's married to. We have completed our mission.”“Exactly. Let's hear what the news says. They got a good story.” Lauren urged and they turned on the TV._*” It's been heard that Alexander Darwin, one of the richest businessmen in the U.S.A. has hit rock bottom in his business due to an investment rejection. And I have two gentle businessmen here with me to discuss what
It was clear that Alexander was looking for a way to get the money he had lost for the investment. Alexander ended the call, and Quincy felt very troubled.“What happened?” Scott asked out of concern.“Alexander. He got Lauren.”“Did he know it was an intentional scam?” Scott asked, looking terrified for Lauren.“No. I don’t think so. Right now, I think he is just pissed that she was the one who introduced him to something that didn’t go well for him.”“Goodness. What do we do, then?” “Well, he just got himself a jail pass. The worst we wanted to do to him was what we had done. He could always rise to his feet without a bad name. But since he had to be involved in a crime in this, then he’s going to have a bad name. We will inform the cops of this.”“Okay. But I’m certain he’ll be on the watchout for cops. And you know how these things work.” Scott made his worry known.“I know. We’re just going to play this smartly.” Quincy said, then sighed.Then he put a call through to Lauren ag
Quincy drove as fast as he could to be able to get her in sight, because the moment he lost her, it could become a problem; especially if she wasn't heading where he had in mind she was probably heading to. "Drive as fast as you can, but I must not lose you." He said under his breath as he fixated his eyes on Lyra's car. There was nothing that could make him lose his concentration at this point since so many distractions had come his way, yet, his eyes didn't waver. As they drove further, he confirmed his guess. She was truly driving off to Alexander's house. Probably they had agreed to meet there or she was just heading to his house first thing. There was only one way to tell, and that was following her and waiting until he caught sight of Alexander. Soon, they got to Alexander's house and Quincy halted his car a distance from them just so no one would suspect him being there. He watched as Lyra got down from her car and ran into Alex's compound. "Currently at Alex's house.
