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
In the message, Arthur informed the man of the time he'll be leaving work. He expected Oscar to wait for him at the said time he sent to him. Since it was not time for his shift to be over, he'd have to wait for a few more minutes.A while later, Arthur got off work and made his way to the door. However, he caught sight of someone a little familiar and swiftly followed behind the person. He made sure that the girl didn't notice him until he was able to catch hold of her."Hey." Reaching out, Arthur grabbed her by the wrist and the girl turned around and flung her hand. If he wasn't quick enough, Arthur would have gotten himself smacked.Lifting his head, Arthur frowned at the girl who looked furious. It was obvious that she was pissed at Arthur."Why are you following me? I've warned you to stay away from me."It was the same girl he had seen once coming out of Hans' office. She was also a staff at the mall. However, Arthur was yet to find out what department she was working in."Ple
"Good. They should better stay away from here. They're not welcome even as guests."Arthur proceeded to meet up with the man who had been waiting for him. Although he was being treated like a VIP, Oscar was not interested in whatever they presented before him. All he wanted was to get out of the problem he was now into.In just twenty four hours he became CEO of Raremix mills, trouble came from nowhere. What has he done to deserve such problem?Arthur got to the suite and was welcomed by the waiter standing outside. He nodded his head and strolled to the place where Oscar sat.Oscar stood up. "Arthur, thank God you're here. I really need you to help me out in this situation.""Calm down and talk to me. What is the problem?"Arthur helped the man sit down. Turning to face Oscar, Arthur wanted to say something but noticed that he hadn't taken a sip from the drink he was served."Come on, why are you not drinking something? Go on and have a drink, it'll help you calm your nerves."With
While in the cab, Arthur made a few calls and soon got the address of Bryan and his mother. A while later, he was standing before the door of their apartment.Knock knock knock.Arthur only knocked once and waited for a response. Since Bryan and his mother were not working yet, they were always at home. If they weren't home, then they would be somewhere else plotting for a way to acquire all of Gregg's assets."Who is it? I'm coming." Arthur heard Bryan's voice from inside as he approached the door.As soon as the latter opened the door, his jaws dropped. "Wh… H-How did you find this place? And, what are you doing here?"Arthur let out a dry chuckle. "Is that a way to welcome your brother who you haven't seen for sometime?"Arthur was smiling as he spoke but Bryan didn't find his words amusing. "I asked a question. What the heck are you doing in our house?"Arthur gasped. "Well, it's a good thing that you acknowledged the house as ours. Since it's our house, I can just let myself in
Rosaline was furious and so was Bryan. She turned to her son and gave him a disgusting look.Confused, Bryan gave her a questioning look and then asked. "What is Mom? Why are you glaring at me like I've done something wrong?""How did I give birth to a useless son?" Rosaline retorted angrily. Her words hurt Bryan but he only kept quiet and stared back at his mother with a ruffled face."Yeah." Rosaline added."Mom, what have I done wrong to deserve such name calling? Shouldn't you be angry at Arthur?""I'm angry at you because you let that brat speak to your mother in such a manner. Arthur's just the same age as you yet, you could not stand up to him as a man. You just stood there like a statue and watched like a fool.""What would you have me do? Fight with him? You know I can't do that. Did you not hear his threats? I was scared that Arthur would actualize those threats if I did something."Bryan pursed his lips before he continued. "I don't want to go to prison. We're yet to come o
"You heard him right because he wasn't stuttering." The other man replied.Janet could not believe her eyes neither did Bryan. They were both looking at the security guards with their mouths open.“What? Is that how you guys behave in this place?” Janet became very furious and decided to raise her voice. Her loud voice caused some people around to turn their gazes on them.“What is the meaning of this insolence? In fact, I need to see your manager immediately.” Janet barked as she stood up to glare at the men in front of her.“I'm going to get you guys fired for this embarrassment you've caused us.” Janet kept fuming and raising her voice. She was hoping that the people around would hear her complain and side with them. She wanted to be pitied so that the people would blame management.Bryan joined her in standing. He opened his mouth and began to speak with the guards.“Look, I think it's just a misunderstanding. Why would the owner want us to leave when we're also customers in this
