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
After Bryan left Janet's house that morning for home. They drove the new car to her mother's coffee shop. Janet hadn't been happy with her mom about the way she hastily accepted the car. It was not like she wouldn't accept the car at last, she just wanted to push Bryan to do better. With the way that she acted, he'd think twice before getting any inferior thing in the future.They got to the shop and found no customers in the place. Even though it was a little closer to noon, the sales attendant hadn't made much sales. All their customers were all running off because they felt that the owner was not ready for business. There was no good customer service and the shop didn't sell any other drinks like juice, milkshakes and several other drinks. Sometimes, the shop would be closed. The other attendants had stopped working because they hadn't been paid for some time. It was just one person who was still trying her best to get the shop back on its feet.The attendant saw them and ran to we
Janet didn't know how to react. She started walking towards the door and halted by the door. Striding back to where her mother was, Janet gave her an intense stare. She was so remorseful and Janet could see it on her face."Janet, I'm so sorry. I was stupidly in love like a teenager that I didn't know what I was doing." Stella pleaded but Janet didn't say anything. She was still speechless.She opened her mouth and closed it again. Drawing out a chair, she sat on it and rested her head on both hands. Janet wasn't saying anything and this got Stella restless. She wanted Janet to pour out her anger until there wasn't anymore left to pour out."Janet dear, come on, say something. Anything. Call me names, a foolish mother. A stupid woman. Anything at all, I deserve it."Janet shook her head and let out a deep sigh. "How old is he and where is he staying?" She asked.Stella slightly tilted her head and said. "He should be a little older than you. Let's say around twenty eight years. He w
Arthur and Nick parted ways and went about their work. Arthur was yet to reveal the information about his relationship with Janet and Bryan. He wanted it to stay that way. If he were to tell the man anything, then he'd have to fabricate a lie. Those people were bad news so he didn't want to think about them. His thoughts suddenly went on someone he hadn't seen that day. He had to make her drive to House 34, Roban street the previous night. It was wrong on his part to mislead the lady. However, he had to keep putting on the facade. She gave him no choice when she insisted on dropping him off. He had to quickly think of the address one of his classmates gave to him some years ago.Jesse was a good person, no doubt. She didn't deserve to be lied to like that. However, Arthur was on a mission. If it meant that he had to tell a few lies, then he would. So long as he achieved his aim. He would apologize later on.Arthur remembered something, he had given Axel an assignment which might take
