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
The duo quickly got into the elevator and waited for it to take them to their destination. Arthur stood at the right hand side of Jesse and a little behind her.He stole glances at Jesse but she was unaware. Arthur guessed that it was because she was very hungry. The thought made him smile.He saw something on her head and tried to take it out. "Thank you." Jesse said to him after he showed her a tiny piece of paper on her head. It was proof that she had indeed overworked herself. They stared at each other for a while and Jesse looked away, a smile plastered on her face. Arthur was smiling back.They got out and Jesse called the last number that called her. Arthur wondered what he was doing. Why did Jesse ask him to go with her? A lot of people were swaying around the mall like a hive of bees. He checked his time and realized that it was time for him to go home.Jesse soon came back to him. "You can just come along and grab a bite if you want. Moreover, I ordered a lot and I'm not q
"Why the heck did you say that to Bryan? How can you tell him to go and ask his father for money? It was you who adopted him when we got married so he's your son." Rosaline blurted out when she got to Gregg's study. She had earlier checked the room but he was not there. So, she deduced that he must be in his study. And as usual, with Oscar by his side.Rosaline had eyed Oscar when she got in. She never liked the man because he was always clinging to Gregg. He was Gregg's most trusted person who was also his right hand man. Rosaline thought that Oscar knew everything about the family.When the woman got into the study, Oscar wanted to excuse himself but Gregg stopped him. "Don't leave."Rosaline angrily clenched her fist and gave the man a stern look. However, he was unfazed because Gregg had asked him to stay put."Well, I don't recognize the son I adopted years ago." Gregg retorted. The mother and son had been acting all nice when he first met them.Gregg saw Rosaline at a mall and
