They were her ex boyfriend and ex friend, Anderson and Michael. The duo came to shop at the mall when they saw the media hovering around some people. The couple decided to find out what was going on. It was then that they saw Jesse and her sister standing alongside some rich young guy who just announced himself as a rich heir.Once their eyes met with each other, Jesse smiled and raised her brows at them before clinging tightly onto Arthur's arm. She no longer cared about the multiple cameras before her face. At the moment, she just wanted her ex friend and ex boyfriend to feel envious of her.When Arthur was no longer interested in replying to their numerous questions, he turned around and began to walk into the mall together with Jesse and Jenny. As they made their way into the mall, the journalists wanted to follow after them but were stopped by the bodyguards and the other security guards.Anderson and Michael could not get themselves to go into the mall as they stood back outside
Jesse stood up and started towards the door but Nick didn't follow him. He was still so dumbfounded.Dazed, he kept staring intently at Arthur and also at the sisters.“Um, Sir….. Do you mean, uh… Did you just promote me as the new manager of this great organization?”With a smile that reached his eyes, Arthur nodded at him. “Yeah, I just did that. You're now the manager of this organization and I hope you'll not disappoint.”Placing his left hand on his mouth, Nick let out a gasp. “Oh my God. Wow!” Out of impulse, he fell on the ground and began to thank Arthur. “Thank you so much Sir. This is really unbelievable.”“Thank you, Thank you Sir.” Nick kept appreciating him. He could not also get himself to address him as Arthur after what he had just done for him.Arthur has changed his status. From a mall guard to a manager. It was indeed a very huge elevation.“It's ok Nick, stand up. You don't have to fall on the ground to show your appreciation. I can already see how grateful you ar
With a stunned look, Arthur rushed towards his father. He tilted himself and tried to lift Gregg's face which was not visible to him. “Dad?”That moment when his father did not open his eyes, Arthur's heart began to pound hard. He thought that Gregg was dead.Turning to face Kimora, Arthur asked him with a raised voice. “What happened to him? I thought you said that he wanted to see me.”“Yes, that's what he said to me a while ago. Maybe he slept off before you came.”Without wasting any more time, Arthur checked Gregg and saw that he still had a pulse before he began to shake him. “Dad, wake up.” “Kimora, call the doctor immediately. I think my Dad's not well.”While he was vigorously shaking his father, the man gradually opened his eyes and called out his name.“Arthur, you're here.”“Oh, Dad. You scared me. Are you okay?” Arthur let out a deep sigh as he kept gaping at his father.He tried to help him sit up but Gregg refused. “I'm ok this way.”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I'm sure. I
“Dad?”Arthur could not help but to panic when Gregg suddenly went mute. He had just said something to Bryan. Why was he not speaking again?Tilting himself, he reached out and began to shake his father. “Dad?”“Doctor, please find out what is wrong with my Dad. He's no longer moving.”Swiftly, the doctor went ahead to check Gregg's vitals while Arthur turned to glare at Bryan. He was praying in his heart and hoping that nothing happens to his father.After about a minute, the doctor lifted himself and turned to them with a very sad face. “I think we should take my dad to the hospital.” Arthur suggested even before the doctor was able to say something.He beckoned on Kimora and the guards to come and carry Gregg. However, the doctor stopped him.“There won't be any need for that because your Dad is gone. He's dead.”“No.” Arthur screamed and fell on his father's body, shaking it vigorously.“Dad, no. Please don't do this to me. Wake up and talk to me.”Bryan, who was kneeling on the
Arthur stood still, staring hard at the man before him. The fire of hatred that burned in him was enough to push him into making a rash decision. However, he managed to suppress his anger. His job at the hotel was going to be over if he acted on the impulse of his youthful rage. Tilting his head, Arthur lifted his left palm and calmly massaged his left cheek. Eyes red and face darkened into a ruffle, Arthur opened his mouth to speak. "But Sir, I've been busy getting the beddings clean. I haven't been playing all day or even gotten the chance to rest." Arthur tried to defend himself but got another smack on the face." Bang."How dare you call me a liar before my face, you piece of trash. If I hadn't seen you on the pavement whiling away time, then I might have believed your lies." Mr Frank Manuel blurted out with a profound frown on his face. To Arthur, this was an innumerable incident as no day goes by that he doesn't get a scolding from the Probity hotel manager. "That was just a br
"Janet?" Arthur managed to mutter. The lady in question also looks stunned upon seeing Arthur at the door. "W… What are you doing here?" Arthur stammered. The shock on her face suddenly turned to a glare. "What does it look like I'm doing Arthur McCain? Or should I say Arthur nobody since you've lost the surname already."Janet started walking into the room leaving the door open for Arthur to come in and do his job. The latter hesitated before pushing the trolley inside the room. As he walked into the room, Arthur managed to carry himself as his feet had already turned into jelly from the shock he just received. His girlfriend was in a hotel room with another man. Or should he say his girlfriend who abandoned him. "Honey, who was that?" A young man of about his age walked out of the bathroom in a towel. "Bryan?" Arthur saw himself almost yelling. "You two. What? How could you do this to me?"Bryan turned and scowled at the guy before him. "Well, look who we have here. My lovely step
Janet's face brightened up with the statement. Mission accomplished. Turning to Bryan and Janet, Mr Frank apologized. "I'm sorry for whatever that had transpired between you and this brat. I hope you won't rate us down because of this?" "Well, since you apologized, then we accept your apology." Janet replied with a grin as she rolled her eyes at Arthur who was still standing there. "What the hell is this loser still waiting for? Get the heck out of here." Mr. Frank yelled at Arthur who turned around and started walking out. As he stepped out, he saw some of the guests who stood outside their room in order to catch a glimpse of the gossip. On the second that he left, everyone dispersed back to their hotel room.As Arthur entered the elevator, he could not help but blame his father for the misfortune that had befallen him. After wasting three months of his life in prison, he had also spent two years working in the hotel with nothing to show for it. His eyes had gone red from suppressed
Arthur kept stealing glances at the man. He still could not believe his ears. However, all he needed was a confirmation. How can he be so sure that the man was telling the truth? For all he knows, he could be a mafia Lord who wanted to kidnap him. As if reading his mind, Axel spoke to him. "You don't have to be afraid of anything. You'll find out about all you need to know soon enough."You can surf the internet to learn more about your grandfather. Arthur took out a small phone that was tied together with a band. From all indications, the phone was as good as useless. Axel saw the state of Arthur's phone and let out a chuckle. Arthur's life was about to change for good. Opening a small compartment in the vehicle, Axel brought out a package and handed it over to Arthur. "That's a special package. Only a few people have the same type."Arthur opened the pack and found out that it was a rare kind of phone. He could not believe his eyes. This was too good to be true. Axel smiled at his
