Alex's gaze remained at the two people till they disappeared into the banquet, he shook his head before walking towards the entrance. Standing by the door were two hefty men who had a stone look on their faces. They were dressed in all black and they stood as bodyguards. "Your invitation card," One of them said to Alex when he was about to walk in, making Alex pause on his track. Alex looked at him and raised his hands indicating that he didn't have an invitation card. He had left the invitation card with Isaac that day after checking out the address and all that he needed. He didn't think there was a need to come with an invitation card since he was a VVIP here. "You can't go in without an invitation card," the other guard replied. "Well, what can I say? I have come mainly to freeload," he smirked. The people around him who were making their way into the banquet couldn't help but pause and look at Alex in disdain. "Just look at him? Isn't he even ashamed to say that out loud fr
Seeing who it was that had yelled from behind, the guards quickly stopped their actions and when the man got to them, they bowed their head in obeisance.“Sir!” The man who had just showed up was Isaac, he ignored them and rushed to face his young master, Alex, before giving him a deep bow,“Young master,” Alex nodded with a smirk when the saw the look of shock on the guard’s face.“I’m very sorry for showing up late sir. There was an issue at the company that needed my attention. Sir, you see the—“ Isaac was cut off by Alex who waved his hand in front of him “It’s okay,”“Young master, why aren’t you in yet? Did they give you a hard time?” it was obvious so Alex didn’t need to say a thing. The guards gulped when they saw the anger in Isaac’s eyes.Isaac glared at them for causing a hard time for his young master and the guards cower in fear. They knew Isaac very well but weren’t familiar with Alex. It was a shock to them that Isaac had bowed to Alex and not the other way around.
Alex finally went in with Isaac walking behind him. He looked around the hall and was excited when he saw the delicacies that had been prepared for the occasion. "Isaac, let's go sit there," he pointed at a corner close to the window. The place was secluded. They both made their way to the table, Alex sat and Isaac sat opposite him. They hadn't sat for long when Alex gestured for the server to come forward. He took a glass of wine from him and demanded his own food along with Isaac's food. The server quickly went to get the food before coming back with two trays of different kinds of food. When Alex saw it, his eyes glowed as they followed the food. He quickly folded his sleeves up before taking off his wristwatch, he handed it over to Isaac who took it from his young master and placed it inside his pocket. "You must be full?" He asked Isaac who wasn't touching his meal. "Yes young master, I ate before coming over," "Oh really? Too bad," Alex responded as he dragged the tray of
“So what are you?” A lackey?” “Hey! Hold your mouth there. We are not in the streets where you can speak as you like, this is the Edwards family house You dare not spit nonsense here,” “A lackey it is,” Alex nodded his head as he said these words causing the man's anger to skyrocket. The man wanted to speak but Alex intruded,“What's the name again…? Huh… Damn it! Can't seem to remember. Anyways, I always seem to forget unless things,” Isaac pressed his lips together to stop himself from bursting into laughter. Thomas gritted his teeth in anger. He had seen Alex when he was having issues with Jean and her partner and he was excited that he didn't have to deal with him, but it looked like he'll have to handle the man by himself. Meanwhile, Alex had returned his attention to his food as he began to eat again. The people around began to whisper amongst themselves. They could help but feel anger inside them as they saw how Alex was eating free food in a party he didn't bring any gif
The guests stood stupefied, even Isaac was shocked at his young master's words. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry because he knew that if it was money for a gift, Alex could buy a lot and still not lack money. He stared at the man who was pissed that his food was taken from him and not even at the insults the guests were pouring at him. He even went as low as calling himself a freeloader. “Who said that?” A voice rang throughout the hall. The people gasped when they saw who was coming through but Alex didn't flinch. He sat there comfortably even when others were standing. And that was one reason he didn't see who was coming.Thomas was quick to point his finger at Alex. He was so happy that someone from the Edward family has finally come to deal with Alex by himself“This arrogant man!” Thomas spat as he continued to point at Alex.Alex sighed, shaking his head when he finally saw who it was that had come to stand before him. He had thought it was someone important that he coul
“I told you he came here just for food,” Thomas said to the head of the Edward family. The old man was fuming in anger as he continued to look at Alex whose eyes weren't even on him. His eyes were on Kenneth and Thomas, he had asked them a question after all. “Young man, just apologize and let this go. You don't want to mess with the wrong family,” one of the guests said but Alex shrugged as he got up from his chair, “I don't see why I should apologize. I haven't offended anyone. All I came to do was eat but they came here and took my food and my drink. It wasn't fare at all, so they are at fault, why should I apologize?” He asked with arched brows. The old man flew in a rage,“You sick boy, do you know that I can throw you in jail for this? You… you…” “That's enough. I am not going to apologize on any basis you drop at me. I won't apologize for no reason,” he straightened his shirt before saying to Isaac,“Let's get out of here. Seems we have overstayed our welcome,” Isaac stoo
Turning around, Alex caught sight of a woman. He frowned, he knew this woman from somewhere but couldn't place his finger on it. Her dark purple lips stuck, where did he know this woman from again? He kept thinking but it seemed to have slipped off his mind. So much for being unimportant. He turned away from them and continued speaking with the sales girl when he heard again, forcing him to turn around the second time. “Hey, you!” Beside her, was a man who had a scowl on his face. He looked like Alex had once stepped on his tail and he was here for revenge. Alex stood still wondering what he had done to the man. He can't recall causing trouble to this man. The man and the woman began to walk towards him while the sales girls watched, including the girl who was attending to Alex. They wondered what was about to happen, they wanted to watch the drama because they could see how the woman and the man were talking toward them in anger. “You! How dare you cause my baby trouble!” the ma
Alex suddenly raised his brows like he had just realized something. He turned back to the man, looking at him with contempt and then chuckled.“Why would I even do that?” Alex asked, still raising his brows. His sudden question shocked the man. He looked surprised to see someone question his command.“Beca—-”“I don’t need your flirty reason and besides this old hag here should be blamed for whatever happened between us. It had nothing to do with me” he replied and proceeded to walk out when the young man yelled.“Don’t you dare! You would kowtow to my woman this instinct with no further argument” he yelled. Alex sighed and turned back to the man.“You keep saying impossible things and I’m starting to think you might just be looking for trouble or someone to upset and I would say you have picked the wrong guy cause I don’t have time to entertain your nuisance and drama. Take your…..baby and fuck off!” Alex replied and this time he sounded more serious than ever. He looked tired and ju
