Rosaline stared down at her son. Disgust evident on her face. If he wasn't her precious son, she would have slapped the living daylight out of him and he'd abruptly become sober. However, she managed to subdue the anger that was brewing inside of her. Bryan, oblivious of his actions, fell back to his bed and fell into a slumber. The two men who had witnessed the incident could not help but look stunned. They looked shocked on their facial expressions, but deep down in their hearts, they were laughing at their madam. Good for her. If she hadn't been indulging his excesses, something like this would have never happened."Get the maids to clean it up immediately." She commanded them as she sped out of the room and into her and her husband's bedroom."Yes ma." The men had responded to her receding figure. As soon as she was out of their sight, the men burst into an uncontrolled laughter. However, they managed to hold themselves when they saw Bryan turn at the bed.Without uttering a word
Arthur fell silent. Even though he was expecting the question, he didn't know what answer to give to him. Tilting his head, Arthur gradually lifted it and his gaze fell on Nick's. In his eyes were a lot of questions. Questions he was expecting Arthur to answer. Those people were not strangers to him. Of course. Even a blind man could tell that. Judging by the way they reacted towards each other.Swallowing hard, Arthur let out a sigh. It was then that he realized that he hadn't signed in for work. Those twins would tear him apart if they find him discussing during work hours. Arthur had found a good reason to avoid the question. Moreover, he had no answer to give to the man at that moment. He didn't want to tell him the truth until he could trust him enough. Not even the truth about the relationship he had with his father. He has to look for a convincing story that would be somewhat related to the real story."Uhmmm… Nick? This is not a story I want to tell in a hurry. It's not also
Jesse approached the two men with a smile plastered on her face. Upon reaching the spot where they were standing, Jesse stretched forth her hands to greet her immediate superior. "Welcome Sir, You're back from your leave.""Yes. I'm back." Hans replied with a mischievous smile as he stole a glance at Jesse's chest that revealed a little of her cleavages. Following the man's gaze, Jesse saw that one of her shirt buttons had been undone and the shameless man had been staring at her cleavages. Gently, she traced the undone button of her yellow shirt and buttoned up."I guess that you've met our newest staff." She said while pointing at Arthur who had been casting the man a disgusting glare. Even in public, he could not even control himself. "Of course." Hans replied to Jesse who still went ahead and introduced them. "Uhmmm… Arthur, meet Mr Hans. He's the director here and my immediate superior. Mr Hans, this is Arthur, he just started working here a few days ago.""Nice to meet you Mr H
"Please, help me search for my son." Gregg seriously pleaded. The expression on his face was pitiable. Oscar could not help but feel bad for his boss as he stared deep into his eyes. All he could see was a depressed man who was full of regrets."But Sir, we've been searching for him for some time now. Still, no trace of the young man. And even if we find him, are you sure he'll be willing to come back home?"Gregg shook his head vigorously. There was no way he would accept that Arthur could not be found. He wanted to see him first. Even if he had to lie on the floor and ask for his forgiveness, then he would. Provided he comes back home. "No, you have to search more. He's got to be somewhere out there." Gregg probed further and Oscar only nodded. "Alright Boss. I'll do my best."The two men were still talking when they heard someone approaching the room. Before they could make out who the person was, Rosaline walked into the room with her eyes fixated at Oscar. Ignoring the presence
Arthur rolled down the glass window of the cab and found Jesse standing outside. At first, he had thought that it was the taxi driver who came back. He had earlier gone to buy some snacks for himself. "Ma'am. How were you able to find me here?" Arthur was curious. He kept wondering what would have led the lady to notice that it was him in the cab. He opened the door and came out. Standing opposite the lady whose arms were folded across her stomach, Arthur asked again. "How come you recognized me? It's already dark outside."Jesse could not help but smile at the young man before her. "I can't explain it myself. Let's just say that it was a coincidence. My eyes went to the cab when I drove past it. I had this feeling that the person on a call was familiar to me so I decided to find out for myself."Moreover, your cab was parked outside the place where I drive by everyday. I already told you that I always come to pick up my sister." Jesse paused and gave Arthur a questioning look."Is a
Searching for the right words with which he'd reply to her, Arthur stuttered. "Ugh… I… Not…"The expression on the lady's face was serious and Arthur was not liking the moment. It was a little tense. He had said something he wasn't supposed to say and Jesse must have misinterpreted it."I didn't mean…" Arthur was still speaking when she burst into uncontrolled laughter. Arthur could not help but fake a smile. Wow! The lady had given him quite a scare and now she was laughing."You should have seen the look on your face." She commented after she was done laughing at Arthur. Arthur thought that the scene was not funny. How could she feign such seriousness when she didn't mean it? Or was she just trying to cover up? Arthur was overthinking it."I actually didn't mean it the way you thought. It must have slipped my tongue." Arthur tried to explain but Jesse just smiled."Come on." She said and started towards her car. Nothing Arthur said at that moment made any sense. She didn't even pay
Jesse also paused as she watched Arthur in perplexity. "What happened? Why are you acting strange?"Swiftly, Arthur turned his back and started towards the exit with Jesse following behind. He stopped outside the restaurant and waited for Jesse to catch up with him. "What was that for?" She asked the guy, confusion evident on her face. She was no longer comprehending anything that was happening. First, he brought her to the place with the reason that he was hungry, Now he just ran out of the restaurant as if he was running away from something or somebody.Of course he was running away from Janet."I'm so sorry about that." Arthur apologized but it seemed that the apology didn't go well. What was he apologizing for anyway?"I'm still waiting for you to explain the reason for this strange behavior of yours."Arthur could not tell her that it was Janet that had made him leave in that manner. He didn't want to have any physical contact with her, not when he was in the company of someone e
"Arthur, You're not saying anything. What's the name of your street?""House 34, Roban street." That was the name that came to Arthur's mind. It was the house of one of his classmates who had once invited him. The guy had been close to Arthur. However, Arthur kept their relationship casual. He didn't want too much attachment with anyone. Arthur prayed in his heart that the place won't be an above standard residence else Jesse would raise brows and throw endless questions at him.He wasn't sure of the social status of his classmate who lived at the place."Ok, So you can give me the directions." Jesse said, causing Arthur to cast her a puzzled look. Jesse stole a glance at him and immediately focused on the road. "Don't tell me you don't know the way to your house.""Actually, I don't. We recently moved into the neighborhood so the place is still so new to me. Maybe we should check the map."Taking out his phone, Arthur realized that he couldn't surf the internet with the kind of phone
