Lauren’s eyes blinked, and then she looked back at the receptionist.“Uhm… You know what? I’ll be back later to book an appointment with him. Thank you.” She said to the receptionist and left immediately, and left with her manager.As soon as they were out of the company and had gotten into the car, she let out a relieved breath.“Oh, my goodness. That was a close call.” She said, under her breath, and looked at her window, only to see Kohler, and Alexander, walking out of the company.Then she turned to her manager, who was looking like he didn’t understand all that was going on, especially since the moment she said she wasn’t benefitting anything from meeting Mr. Alexander.“Remember. I do not want to hear this from anyone else. Everything you’ve seen and heard or will hear about this case, I do not want to hear it from someone else, neither do I want you to think about it too deeply.” She cautioned her manager.“Yes, ma’am. I won’t let you down.” He assured her, and she smiled.“Go
Lauren walked into the bar and collided with some drunkards who ignored the fact they had hit her.“Ugh!” She grunted in disgust and held on to her bag.If anyone wanted to steal her bag from her, it could be very possible in the midst of the crowd.So, the best she could do was to hold on to it, since there were valuables in it.While squeezing herself out of the crowd, who were on the dance floor, she hoped she wouldn't have to go through this again when she was stepping out of the bar.“Finally.” She said to herself as she managed to get out of the happy crowd.Then she spotted Alexander sitting on one of the bar stools and quietly drinking his alcohol.“Good evening, Mr. Alex.” Lauren greeted, with a smile as she sat on the bar stool which wasn't far from his.Then Alex raised his head and looked at her.“Didn't know I would come across you, right here,” Lauren uttered, trying to make things seem coincidental.“You are…?” Alexander asked.“Oh! Pardon my manners. I'm Lauren Shane.”
Lauren stared at the message for a while, before a slow smile played across her lips. She had gotten him. He was in her trap already. Finally, she took off her things, and headed into the shower, letting the cool, relaxing water wash off the stress of the day. Afterward, she fell onto the bed, allowing it to caress her, and lure her into the land of dreams. The next morning, she awoke and dressed up immediately, getting ready for work. Only when she got to work, did she remember she had bagged a meeting with Alexander that night. “I should tell Quincy.” She muttered, dialing his number.Quincy picked on the second ring. “Good morning, Lauren.”“Good morning, Quincy. Guess what?” “Okay. What? I'm having this feeling that it might be good news.” He replied, and she smiled. “Alexander asked to see me again tonight. I think he's completely taken the bait.”“Like that quick? No restrictions, he didn't act hard to get?”“Hard to get? He was a fairly easy man. I just walked up to him a
Quincy felt that Vincent could be up to something for him to say that he had an offer. What offer could he possibly have, that it might not seem like he was pulling his legs?But then, Quincy decided to hear him out.“I'm all ears,” Quincy spoke, trying to spare him that time.Vincent burst into laughter, over the phone and let out a satisfied sigh.“So, you could be interested in hearing what I have to say, then?”“Vincent, I swear it! If you waste one more second of my time, I'll end the call, and will not answer any of your calls.” Quincy warned, feeling a little riled up.“Alright, alright. Let's get to the main deal. Look. I know you're a little pitiful, Quincy, and it would hurt your ego to say that, but you don't have to be hurt, because I have finally decided to bestow a little kindness on you.” Vincent uttered.“What are you at, again, Vincent?” “I'm only trying to help you, Quincy. And here is my offer for you: you can be my assistant, and I'll pay you twice as much as my l
Lauren couldn't erase the look of shock on her face when Alex spat out what was on his mind.Now, she realized why he had rented the whole bar, and set up an atmosphere for his confession.While that was a little sweet, coming from a man, she was disgusted that he had a wife, and yet, he had the guts to do such a thing to another woman.“It's fine if you do not have an answer for me, yet, but you can think about it. Think about all the benefits that would come with it. I can get you anything you want, too. Just… just be mine.” Alexander spoke, staring at her sweetly.It disgusted Lauren more than any other woman would have fallen for how sweet he looked and acted, and at the end of the day, they would regret their choice.“You have a wife, Mr. Alexander.” Lauren reminded him, trying not to show how irritated she was.“Yes, Lauren. But she doesn't appeal to me much, the way you do. If I had met you before I met her, I would have chosen you.” Alexander replied and then placed his hand o
Soon, Scott and the guards got to Quincy’s home, and Scott was let in, while the guards stood outside.“Alright, to check this, we need to have gloves, just so we do not ruin anything in case the cops would also want to make further investigation in case we find something illegal in here,” Scott said, and Quincy nodded.“You’re right. Let’s do this.”Scott handed over a pair of gloves to Quincy, and they got to work. They slowly opened the box, in case it contained any explosives, and when they were successful in opening it, they found shoes; children's shoes.“Does he have a clothing company?” Quincy asked, looking baffled.The least he expected were children's shoes.“No, he isn’t. But his wife, Deborah is into stuff like that, so, we can say he helped his wife, with the shipping in.” Scott said.“Hmm. That’s true. But then, I don’t just believe that this could be normal. There has to be something attached to this, especially because of the way he guarded them and even had those gua
Quincy stood outside patiently, waiting for the cops to come out to declare if Vincent was innocent or not.Scott noticed that Quincy was only trying to be calm, but he couldn’t wait to get the news.“Why is it taking so much time?” Quincy spoke, beginning to sound impatient.“Don’t you want them to take their time, and find out that he is not innocent? Or you want them to do everything in a rush, and come out, declaring that he’s not guilty.”“That’s not what I want,” Quincy uttered and rolled his eyes, then looked away, trying to keep his cool.Shortly after he and Scott spoke, the cops came out of Vincent’s home, and to Quincy’s joy, Vincent was in handcuffs.“Quincy! Trust me, you’re going to regret this!” Vincent threatened as the cops dragged him to the car.“Mr. Quincy, you were right. He also tried to attack a particular cop, just so he would run away from here.”“Oh, man. That was intense.” Quincy responded.“Thanks so much for letting us know this, but we would also need you
Alex was in his office, working on some things when he got a mail notification. At first, he wanted to ignore it, because he was a little busy, but then, remembering that he was waiting for updates on the new investment he wanted to try, he decided to take a little of his time to check it out, hoping that it was going to be worth his time.*_Good day, Mr. Alexander. *_We hope we met you well. A meeting has been scheduled for you to have, with one of our executives, and he will put you through on all you need to know, and the steps that need to be taken for this project. The meeting is set for 3 pm. The venue for the meeting will also be communicated, to you. Have a nice day. _*“Yes!” Alex swung his arm, victoriously. He didn’t know that he was going to be this excited about the offer, but now that it was looking this real, he wanted to go for it, test its limits, and see all he could do, with it.Alex then picked up the landline and contacted his secretary.“Come in.” He urge
