"Forgive me for being so unconcerned. I've been working with you for over two months but haven't bothered to know your name. I'm sorry about that. Since you're already working for me, I'd like to know what your name is."The taxi driver smiled. He was also at fault. He should have gone ahead and told Arthur his name even without him asking. "It's Dario and I'm happy to be at your service."Arthur nodded his head and after a long pause, he said to the man. "Alright, Dario. I'm Arthur. Arthur McCain."With a cheerful grin on his face, Dario nodded and continued driving. He already knew Arthur's name some time ago.A while later, they pulled over at one of the addresses and Dario pointed to the place.Since the room number was part of the messages that was sent by Oscar, Arthur wanted to go over and knock on the door of Mr. Leo's house but decided to wait. Mr. Leo was one of the men who joined forces with Rosaline and sent him to prison. Arthur was on a mission to pay them with their co
"How do you know about that?"Arthur began to laugh at him. Strolling around the place, Arthur went to stand before Mr. Leo with a smirk on his face."Gregg, my father was merciful to you and your partner in crime. Unfortunately, I'm not my father. You conspired and framed me after being paid a huge amount of money by Rosaline, my so-called stepmother. Because of what you did. I dropped out of school and was sent to prison.""But, it wasn't me who sent you to prison. It was Rosaline who made your Dad do it." Mr. Leo retorted."But you had a hand in it. You framed me and now I've come to make you pay." Mr. Leo was becoming more scared. Especially because Arthur knew about his interview. But how did he find out about that?"How did I find out about the interview?" Arthur jolted him out of his thoughts and Mr. Leo gaped at him. "Well, you should be scared of me because you have no idea what I can do to end your career. I should have arrested you but won't do that. You'll never get a goo
"Let me guess, your partner in crime has been calling you. Well, he has just received his own dose and of my payback. I know you're coming back from an interview. You're also very qualified for the position but don't worry, you won't receive a call from them about any employment. The company belongs to me and you're never getting another job."Mr. Mason's jaws dropped. "Ho… How did you…" He paused in his words when his phone began to ring again."Go ahead and pick your call, then you'll confirm my words."Reluctantly, Mr. Mason picked up the call and placed the phone on his ears while throwing glances at Adam."Hello.""Arthur McCain just left my house. I think he's heading to yours. Maybe you should desist from going home at the moment." Mr Leo tried to warn his colleague but it was already too late for that.Well, the warning was no use because Arthur didn't need to meet with them face to face before making them pay."I think we're in more trouble because of joining forces with Rosa
Even though Anna and Hannah were twins, they had different voices and Arthur could differentiate them through it. It was why he learned that Annah was standing before him."Nice to meet you again, dear Anna." With his face tilted, Arthur spoke in a sullen voice and could imagine the look on the lady's face. She froze at a spot and her face paled instantly.Dario stared at Arthur open-mouthed and also directed his gaze back to the woman standing before them. He had never seen her before. However, the look on her face was like someone who had seen a ghost.Anna was speechless and could not get herself to utter a word.Arthur pretended not to notice her discomfort and went ahead to make an order."Come on, Dario. Go ahead and make your own order. I'm sure their food will have a nice taste."Hesitantly, the man awkwardly pointed to some dishes and Anna took note. She quietly turned around and began to walk away."Be snappy about it." Arthur ordered with a smirk on his face. He could see
After saying the words in his mind, the waiter went ahead and asked him the question without mincing words. "Sir, how did you know about the twins who work here? I'm quite sure you didn't see both of them together."Arthur glanced at the man and he stopped asking questions. Instead, he went ahead to call Anna and Hannah. As the girls hesitantly approached Arthur, the waiter stood a distance away and watched what was going to transpire between Arthur and them."Sir, you called us. Is there anything you want any of us to do for you?" Anna managed to mutter amidst a shaky voice. They were sweating even though the place was cool.The sisters had tasted Arthur's wrath and was afraid he'd cause them to lose their current jobs if they disobeyed him.Arthur remained silent. After a moment of silence, Arthur took out his wallet and brought out some money. "This is for our meals while the extra is for you two. I know you don't have any money after spending all your money to get yourself out o
Since he took a day off, Arthur decided to explore the city. He couldn't possibly go home very early and do nothing. After a little adventure with Dario, he decided to wait for Jesse and Jenny at their residence.The sisters were not yet back from work so he waited in the car. While waiting, Arthur thought of ways to get back with Jesse. What if Jenny refused to help? What if she tries and Jesse still refuses to accept him back? Either way, he'd still give it a trial. Who knows, Jesse might come around and let him back into her life.After waiting for half an hour, Jesse's car drove by and Arthur quickly came out of the car. He rushed towards the place and stood before their car that was being parked at the garage of the place.Jenny was the first to come out of the car with a warm smile on her face. "Hi, Arthur. I mean, Mr. McCain."Arthur wanted to laugh but managed to keep a serious face."Hi, Jenny. There's no need to be formal here. We're friends, aren't we? I'm still that guy y
"It's been a while since we chatted? Tell me, what has been happening around you?" Nick cornered Arthur the next day at work as soon as he got into the mall.Indeed, Nick no longer understood what was happening with Arthur. He also noticed that the latter hadn't come to him for some advice. On the other hand, Arthur could not tell the man anything because Jesse was still angry with him. It was only her who knew about his real identity."Arthur, what have you been up to?""Uh, nothing. I've just been busy?" Arthur replied and turned his face away. He knew where the conversation would lead to and was trying to avoid it."You've been busy with what? Tell me, how's it going with you and Jesse? Have you been able to get her to forgive you? Why does it look like you're forgetting about me?" Nick was grinning as he asked and Arthur could not help but let out a chuckle. He wished it was indeed the way Nick had spoken. Unfortunately, Jesse didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"I was only trying to help. Wait, how did you know what I discussed with Ma'am Jesse? What if it was about work?"Arthur shook his head. "I'm sure it wasn't about work. The way you left the discussion and made your way to the elevator."Nick was at a loss for words. After a deep sigh, he said to the young man before him. "Ok. I went to speak with her on your behalf. I only want what's best for you, Arthur. It's the reason I tried to help."Stretching out his left hand, Nick placed it on his shoulders. "I saw the look on her face and I know that she also misses you. It won't be long until you two get back together. Just be hopeful. See you around, Arthur."With that, Nick began to walk away from him. Arthur sighed and went to his assigned post. He was at the place when Jesse approached him.The noise from Jesse's footsteps made him lift his cocked head. In the next few seconds, Jesse stood before him with an indifferent expression."Uh, How are you doing?"Arthur's jaws dropped. Did J
