Then Lauren held Quincy’s hand and urged him to stand to his feet.“Lauren, I came here to have a lone time. You can’t just come here and tell me to leave. How did you even know I was here? The last time I went to a bar, you also found me.”“The first time, it was coincidental, and right now, Scott called me to check up on you, here. Let’s just leave this place, and go home, where you would feel a lot better.” Lauren urged.“If I was going to feel a lot better at home, I would have gone home, instead,” Quincy uttered, and grabbed the bottle of alcohol, but Lauren snatched it from him.“That’s because you never thought of me, being at your home.” She uttered, and Quincy let out a relenting sigh.If there was one thing, he knew about her, she was adamant and would stand her ground, especially if she knew she was right, on what she was standing on.So, trying to be adamant as well, wouldn’t have worked out.He rose to his feet, and paid the bartender, then walked out of the bar, with Lau

That night, on his way home, he decided to get food for Lauren. She had made a positive impact on his life, last night, and it went a long way for him. So, the least he could do was to let her know that he appreciated her.He had bought her favorite food, and was expecting squeals from her, the moment she set her eyes on the package, and realized what the package held.On getting home, she reacted just the same way he knew she would react.“Oh, my goodness. Thanks again, Quincy. I appreciate this. I hope you also got food for yourself, as well?” She asked, out of concern.“Yes, I did,” Quincy affirmed, and then they bought walked up to the dining room, to eat up.“Wow. I’m so glad you brought me, this. You don’t know how excited I am.” She said as he picked up her cutlery, ready to dig in.“You should know that I’m aware, and that’s why I got you this. Anyways, I’m glad you are enjoying it.” Quincy uttered, and she smiled.“Wow. This is just so perfect. This restaurant is really good.

The team lead was anxious because he didn’t know how Quincy was going to react. One thing was certain; wealthy people didn’t like things that would be negative to them, and might because of the forecast, decide to withdraw their investment from their project.But then, he couldn’t lie to him, as that would be worse; which is more like he was bluffing when he said that the mood check was 90 percent accurate.The C.E.O. gave the team lead a darting look for him to make the atmosphere, a little better, then the team lead cleared his throat.“Uhm. It showed me that you’ll be having a bad mood, but one of the positive reasons for having a mood check is just so you’ll be able to prevent it. It’s more like it’s warning you.” The team lead uttered, hoping that was enough to make him feel better.Quincy was quiet for a while, and when he was done being silent, he looked back at them. “Alright, let’s see how accurate this mood check, is. So, is that all you have for your presentation?” Quincy

There was a particular way the woman was meant to come to him, but he feared that the baby could make her over-cautious in her steps, and therefore make her end up making a mistake.“I need you to be calm while walking towards me. Some parts of this building are already weak, due to the fire. You don’t have to worry; you and your baby will be fine. Just take one step at a time, but don’t put too much pressure on your steps.” Quincy instructed her, and she nodded.She coughed as the smoke was becoming too much, and she feared that it could have gotten to her baby, even though she had wrapped him in her hands,“Here,” Quincy called out to the woman. A series of coughs seized her, and she looked around through the thick smoke to find me. Her arm was under the baby's nose protectively, as she struggled to make sure the toxic smoke wasn't inhaled by him in large amounts. “Be careful!” Quincy shouted as she stepped on a floorboard that gave a loud creaking sound. “Careful, but quick! We do

The next time Quincy opened his eyes, he was in a hospital. His eyelids fluttered open, and he squeezed them a little, because of how stinging it was, to suddenly open his eyes at the bright light. He looked to the left, and it seemed as if looking to the left, brought him memories of what happened, earlier, before he passed out.As he remembered all that had happened, he felt relieved that things went well. Truly, the mood check was accurate. He was going to be in a bad mood because at first, he wasn’t able to save the baby. But since he went back into the building to save the baby, he had automatically changed the fate of his mood.So, in other words, the mood check was accurate.While he was thinking back to everything, the sound of the sliding door, brought him back to reality.“You’re awake!” Lauren voiced out, happily, and Quincy smiled.“Yes, I am.” He uttered, and she hugged him tight.He never thought he would be so happy to see someone coming to see him, and showing how happ

Lauren was happy that Quincy was on the same page with her, and she also couldn’t wait to watch those people who looked down on him, feel so little and ashamed.On getting home, Quincy thanked her deeply and watched as his driver drove her off. She was a good support, and she showed how good a friend, she was. As he walked back in, thinking about how things were going to play out on the very day that Kohler finds out that she had been an ingrate, all along, he thought about Eunice, as well.His heart broke for her because she didn’t deserve to die. She was still young and had so much to experience in this life. Quincy then brought out a phone and then sent a text to Scott.“I know they must have buried her, but you didn’t say a word about it. Give me the address to the cemetery.” He requested.Then he went to bed, to visit her grave, tomorrow after his pending work.~The next day, Quincy got ready for work. He prepared himself omelets, and watched the news on his phone, while he did

On the other hand, Mr. Walter was in his living room when he had been given the news that his company had been refused to be given the contract. He felt so bad, and his mood was no different than a raging fire.“How could this happen?” He questioned rhetorically out loud as he tapped his feet.Then he rose to his feet and began to pace around, thinking of what could have gone wrong, but he couldn’t pinpoint any. He knew how close he was, to getting this contract; in fact, it was so certain even before he tendered the contract offer, but now, it was all ruined.“I want you to find out how exactly this contract was canceled, and rejected, or what had happened that made them change their mind. Find it out, now. I’m waiting.” He ordered one of his intel men who had come to give him the initial information.He couldn’t just help but think that something else had happened. After all, he had done it to a lot of people, and now that it had happened to him, he wasn’t used to such an occurrence
The Return of Billionaire Quincy chapter 59
When Quincy got home that night, he met Lauren who was busy pacing around in his living room. He didn’t expect to see her in his house, but a part of him expected that she would have made sure that she saw him, today.“Quincy, where have you been? Why did you ignore my texts, and why did you instruct Scott not to tell me where you were?” She questioned, looking offended.“Lauren, if there is one thing, I want you to understand, that is, we are not married. You can’t be monitoring my movements, neither should it be an offense to you, if you do not have access to my location, or if you aren’t in my schedule. I have had a long day, and would prefer to spend the rest of my night, alone.” Quincy said and walked out on her.The last thing he needed, was someone, nagging at him. And he had had enough of that. Although, she had been there for him when it was nice to have someone around him, but she had to know when to do that, and when not to; when it seemed like comfort, and when it seemed l

Chapter 166Kohler slowly stirred awake the next morning to the soft strains of music drifting through the air. Her mind, still foggy with sleep, searched for the familiar warmth of Quincy beside her, but the space in the bed was cold and empty. Confused, she opened her eyes, blinking away the haze of dreams. As her gaze adjusted, something unexpected caught her attention—rose petals, scattered across the bed in delicate patterns of red. Her heart skipped a beat. She sat up, her fingers brushing over the soft petals, a surprised smile forming on her lips. The roses didn’t just cover the bed; they formed a trail on the floor, leading out of the bedroom like a path designed to guide her somewhere.Curiosity piqued, Kohler swung her legs off the bed and stood, her bare feet padding softly across the floor. The music played softly in the background, its romantic melody weaving into the air like a whisper meant just for her. Her heartbeat quickened, and she followed the trail of rose peta

Chapter 165Lauren stiffened in her seat, her eyes narrowing as she recognized Talia. Damien stood immediately, stepping in front of Lauren protectively. “Talia, this isn’t the time,” he said, his voice firm but calm.Talia ignored him, her eyes locked on Lauren. “I should have known you’d go crawling to her the moment I was out of the picture,” she sneered. “But you’re making a mistake, Damien. You’re supposed to be with me!”Damien clenched his jaw, frustration rising. “You need to leave. Now.”Talia took a step closer, her gaze flickering between Damien and Lauren. “You think she’s better than me?” she spat. “You think she’ll stick by you the way I did? She’ll break your heart.”Lauren stood up, her eyes steady and calm. “Talia, this is between Damien and me. I understand that you’re upset, but barging in like this won’t change anything.”Talia’s face twisted in anger. “You think you’re so special? You’re nothing, Lauren. Nothing compared to what Damien and I had.”Damien moved clo

Chapter 164Darius studied Kohler for a moment, his expression hard to read. The tension between them hung in the air like a thick fog, both of them playing a delicate game of manipulation and trust. "I'll be the judge of that," he replied, his voice calm but sharp, like the edge of a blade.Kohler chuckled lightly, masking the slight tremor that threatened to creep into her voice. "Fair enough," she said. "But you know I wouldn't be here if I didn't have what it takes."Darius took a step closer, his gaze narrowing. "We'll see." He glanced over at Quincy, who remained motionless in the backseat, supposedly unconscious. "You’ve done well to bring him here. Now, let’s see if you can handle what comes next."Kohler swallowed hard but nodded, reminding herself to keep calm. Quincy had drilled into her the importance of staying in control. "Of course," she said, standing tall.Darius gestured to one of the men, and he stepped forward with a syringe filled with a clear liquid. "This," Dari

Finally! Darius was ready to meet with Kohler as he had trusted her well enough. He had sent poison to her and told her to induce it in Quincy’s drink, and that’s only when he could trust her.“Is everything set?” Quincy asked Kohler.“Yes. I’m all set.” She responded. “Wow. The color looks just perfect on your body. He is going to fall for this.” Kohler chuckled.“I know, right? When he gets caught, he would never put his loyalty to a bad man.” Quincy said with a smirk. “Alright, it’s time to go,” Quincy said, then they left the house, and Quincy was laid in the backseat of his car.Kohler then got into the driver’s seat and drove off to the location to which she was asked to come over. The ride was a little long, and the only reason he would do that was because the place would be a secluded area.That was the best kind of place for them to carry out operations like that.“Just ensure you do not act tense. You have to be as fluid as possible.” Quincy lectured her, and she nodded. “A

A few days passed, and a day came when Damien’s grandfather called, and said he wanted to see both him and Lauren. “What do you think he might want to say?” Lauren asked him, out of curiosity. “Well, I don’t know. But I’m hoping it’s good news.” Damien said as he drove. At least, for the past few days that had passed, they had learned to tolerate each other again, so Liam didn’t need to be interrupting at every interval. Lauren felt herself tense as she didn’t know what the outcome could be. For days now, she had not seen Quincy, and then he had also made up with her by calling her and explaining the situation to her. She was glad that he at least explained to her, but she just couldn’t help but feel that he still had at least, an atom of love for Kohler, and that hurt her deeply each time she thought about it. Soon, they got to his family house, and on getting there, it was only the grandfather who was present at the dining table. But there was no food served there. “Welcome,
chapter 161
Minutes before Liam answered the call, Damien was pacing around with his phone and leaned close to her ear, listening to the now annoying dial tone.“What the hell!” He said sharply under his breath as he kept on waiting.It was becoming frustrating that Liam hadn't answered his call ever since he left earlier with Lauren.The fact that he hadn't answered his call only made him a little worried because his phone was right in the car with him. He was hoping they hadn’t gotten into an accident or something.But then, even though they didn’t get into an accident, another reason he might not answer his call could be that his phone was on silent, but he wasn’t certain if it was on silent. But at least, he ought to know of their current whereabouts and if she was fine, but curiosity was beginning to eat her out.“If I still can't get through to them after calling and calling, I might have to get to the hotel to find out myself; hopefully Lauren would have checked in safely.” He said to him

“Pfft!” Lauren scoffed and rolled her eyes at the answer he gave her.There was no way on earth that his answer was believable.Does Talia mean nothing to him? Lies. She said in her mind.“Oh, come on. Do we need to introduce lies to this newly found relationship? A friend of mine who looked into the case quickly told me that Talia is a crazy woman.” Lauren uttered, peering into Damien’s eyes as she waited for a response from him regarding that.But suddenly, his calm expression turned into a displeased one. His brows curved downward, and he maintained a cold look.“You know what? I’m not in any way comfortable with you keeping people like that as friends, talk more of someone that close to you since she doesn’t know how to mind her business.”“And how should that be something for me to consider? Remember, our contract doesn’t include you getting to choose my friends.” Lauren spoke also raising her brows.It was quite annoying to her that he had to attack her friend just to play his

Damien didn't see this coming. He never thought that his mother would go to the extent that she didn't want him to get married to anyone but Talia. “Lauren!” Damien called out as he ran after her.She stomped her feet while walking towards the gate, and wasn’t willing to answer him. “Lauren!” He called out to her again as she passed by the gates, and then she stood close to the car and turned abruptly to him.“What is it!” Lauren snapped at him. “You brought me here just so your mother could speak demeaning words to me?” she questioned, feeling so much hurt in her.She hadn't recovered from the one Quincy gave her, so getting one from his mother wasn't what she signed up for.Suddenly, she noticed a lady walking towards them, and while she smiled at Damien, she gave her a sneer.The lady walked up to Damien and placed her hand on his chest as she trailed her finger on it. “Baby, I’m so happy I found you here.” She spoke cutely. Lauren rolled her eyes and was about to walk away wh

Lauren was sobbing so hard in his car after letting out what was disturbing her. She was able to talk to him because they also related like friends at some point before the whole loving situation came in.“It's okay, Lauren. I understand you, and… I think I can also help you.” Damien said to her.As Damien let out those words, she turned to look at him with curiosity.“You can help me? How?” She asked and sniffled.“I'll just help you get your man. We'll find ways to do that, but you must help me in return. More like we should have a bargain.” Damien told her.“Okay, what's that?” “I want you to act like you're my fiancee and we'd like to get married. Just act that way before my mom and grandfather, then we're good to go.” Damien asked of her.That was a little difficult to do because claiming such could end up destroying her marital life one day, and she didn't want to take chances like that.“If you're scared about this, I'm assuming, you are one hundred percent safe,” Damien said,
