Nick was startled. He wasn't sure if it was the phone which fell on the ground that startled him or the knock on the door. Arthur was still staring at him with mouth agape when the knock came again. Nick strode towards the door and swiftly unlocked it.The door was flung open letting in Louis who glared at the men with a questioning look. He didn't see it necessary to greet any of them because they were not his friends. Nick glared at the young man whom he already knew his character. He was arrogant and a brat. There was no need to talk to him."See you around Arthur, and don't forget, you still owe me an explanation." Nick said to him as he opened the door and dashed out of it. Arthur stood at a spot puzzled as he tried to recall what explanation he owed Nick. Right, he remembered now. Nick had asked him how he was related to Janet and Bryan. He only managed to excuse himself and ran off. Until now, he hadn't gotten a good explanation to give to the man. He must have to make up a st
Bryan had no idea about what to do at that moment. He marched around the car in a circle and stopped at the place where the attendant was standing. The man had been casting him a disgusting look all the while. He didn't like this kind of customer who would test all the cars but don't have money to buy. The man wondered what he needed a new car for when he already had a car. Although he wouldn't dare say that out because it was none of his business. They also needed to make sales and it doesn't matter if the buyer drove a dozen cars."Sir, ugh…" Bryan lifted his left hand and settled it on the back of his head, scratching some part of it."Is it not going for one hundred and fifty thousand bucks?" Bryan tried to negotiate with the man for the amount he had."No Sir, it's a fixed price and I can't take out anything from it. Maybe you should go for another brand that's less expensive than this one." The attendant replied in the calmest tone he had. He was trying so hard not to lose his t
After a long ride to Janet's residence, Bryan finally pulled over before the storey building and loudly honked on the car. The loud noise disrupted the neighborhood, and before he knew it, people poked their heads from their windows while some passersby stopped to scold him."Hey man. Why the heck are you disturbing the peace of the neighborhood? Go and do that elsewhere or we'll call security on you."Bryan ignored the person and honked one more time which got the man infuriated. He wanted to call security on Bryan when they heard a lady's joyful scream. Janet ran down and her mother followed behind. They heard the car's loud honk and checked the window only to learn that it was Bryan outside. Janet was elated to learn that Bryan had already gotten the car. So fast?She had given him a month and he had already gotten the car the next morning after she threatened him. Wow! The threat really worked like magic. It proved that Bryan valued their relationship so much. He just gave her a m
Bryan was on his way home after they had resolved the matter. He didn't expect Janet to react the way she did. It was a perfect early morning surprise and she was supposed to be over the moon about it. How many girls had their boyfriend giving them such a surprise when it wasn't even their birthday. It was not like they would be gifted such a present on their birthday. Janet had it all and is still not grateful. Sometimes Bryan wondered if he was in his right mind doing all of Janet's bidding.She had pushed him as far as getting her a car. The shoppings was normal and he was expecting that she wouldn't ask beyond that one day. Bryan thought that he was a fool for love sake. Well, he didn't care about being a fool. He just could not have someone else take Janet away from him because he couldn't afford her anymore. If it weren't for Stella who stepped in and resolved the issue, he would have forfeited his car for Janet to have while he rode on the new car."Don't worry Bryan, I'm sure
Arthur was at his duty post when he saw Hans approaching. Slightly, he tilted his head and pretended not to see the man. Arthur was bitter to have such a kind of person as a director in his mall. He thought that some things had to change around there and it had to change very fast."Hey boy." Hans called out to him and Arthur pretended not to have heard the man. He already knew that the man was only calling him to throw demeaning words at him. "Are you deaf? I'm talking to you and you're pretending not to hear me. It seems you no longer like your job. Maybe you'll hear well when you're jobless."Arthur lifted his face and directed his gaze to the man. "How can I help you Sir?"Hans cast him a disgusting look and Arthur reluctantly moved closer to him. "I'm sorry Sir. I didn't first hear you call out to me. What can I do for you Sir?"Hans cast him one last demeaning look before stretching out his hands. In it were a few euro notes. "Take this." He said, giving Arthur the money.Confus
Arthur was still in shock and stood outside the door when it was flung open. "Get inside." Hans commanded and with furrowed brows, Arthur reluctantly entered the office. He stylishly eyed the lady whose gaze was trying to bore holes into Arthur's body. Arthur was unsure which of the twins was standing before him. He mistakenly opened the door and caught the duo making out right there on Hans' table. Were they so horny that they forgot to bolt the door? The son of a b*tch even forget that he sent Arthur on an errand who might likely come back and bump into them.Well, Arthur was not expecting anything better from such a man. Lifting his head, Arthur's gaze met with Hans' glare. He was already red with anger. Arthur could see him fuming. He wasn't supposed to see what he just saw and they needed to give him a stern warning."Arthur, or whatever your name is called." Hans called out to him. He lifted his face and stared directly into Hans' eyes which got the man a bit worried. He was won
Arthur nearly burst into laughter. However, it took so much composure for him to stop himself. They've got to be kidding him. What evidence? He had nothing on them and he wished he did. Well, it won't matter if he does or does not have any proof against them. If Axel ever finds out about anything shaddy about them, then, they were done for. "I'm still waiting for your response." Hans said and Hannah eyed him. She could not believe that the director of such a huge mall was trying to negotiate with a mere security guard. "What are you even saying? How could you…." Hannah was still speaking when Hans hushed her by raising a finger. Arthur bowed his head and took the opportunity to smile before lifting up his head. Letting out a deep sigh, Arthur spoke to the man who gave him all his attention. "I have no evidence against you Sir. I only came here to deliver this." Arthur pointed at the bag on his left hand. They had forgotten the main reason why he came to the place. He only came to d
"What kept you there for this long? I hope Mr Hans didn't scold you." Nick asked Arthur, concern evident on his face. Arthur stared at him and looked around the place. Nick quickly got the point and they made their way to the dressing room. It was their safe haven. A place where they could be themselves and freely chat. However, they had to be swift because it was still working hours."Tell me, what happened there? Why did you take so long to come outside?" Nick curiously enquired and Arthur shook his head."My mouth cannot say what my eyes saw." Arthur replied, causing the man to be more confused. He didn't understand what Arthur was trying to tell him. "What do you mean? Did you see anything forbidden?"Arthur shook his head and smiled."Do you think Hans could be the man you heard his voice when you saw one of the twins at the store the night you told me about?"Nick was getting more confused. Arthur didn't tell him what he saw, now he was asking him another question.With furrowe
