Arthur and Jesse barely saw each other that day at work. They had seen each other in the morning and only greeted themselves with a warm smile before she rushed off. One of the twins had nearly caught him staring affectionately at Jesse's retreating figure. He was quick to look away. However, he still earned himself a glare.Arthur had turned around and minded his business. He believed that the twins would soon meet a dead end. He would often imagine what the look on their faces would be when they realized that he was their boss. Their faces would surely lose color. Arthur hoped that Axel had gathered enough evidence for him.Talking about Axel, he took out his phone and looked around. There was no one in sight. He decided to quickly dial the number and hear from Axel. However, Axel's call was coming in the same time he was to dial his number.Once again, he checked out the place before picking up."Axel, any information for me?""Young master, meet me at 'Nourish restaurant'. Your gr
At 'Nourish restaurant', Axel found himself in a secluded part of the restaurant where he sat alone. He took his glass of drink and had one sip from it. Lifting his wrist for the umpteenth time, he checked the time on his wristwatch. It seemed that he had waited at the place for some time. Lifting his head, he saw Arthur approaching him and this caused a smile to be plastered on his face. Upon arriving at the table where the man sat, Axel stood up from his seat and greeted Arthur. "Young master, you're here. Please sit down."On the table before Axel was a file. Pulling out the chair opposite the man, Arthur settled in it. He was in his security uniform and Axel could not help but compliment."The uniform looks good on you, no offense young master."Arthur smiled and checked himself out. "None taken, Axel. However, thank you for the compliment."Axel smiled and nodded before keeping a serious face."So Axel, do you have anything for me? I hope you have gathered enough proof because
Clenching her first angrily, Hannah glared at Jesse. However, Arthur also earned himself a good amount of her glare before she angrily left the place. Jesse turned and stared at her retreating figure, disgust evident on her face. She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her that Hannah did not like her. She had known that for the times that they've worked together. It was the same with her sister.Jesse thought that their ways were not pure. She had often seen the sisters taking turns in going to the director's office. Arthur didn't waste his time looking at the demeaning Hannah, he focused his gaze on Jesse. From the side he viewed her from, her beauty radiated in her ruffled face. It seemed like she was more beautiful when angry. Arthur kept staring but shifted his gaze when she turned around and faced him.With furrowed brows, she asked. "Arthur, Ugh. I hope nothing bad happened and have you been able to sort things out?" Jesse curiously enquired. Concern laced in her voice.With a no
Without a question, the cab driver turned around and drove back the same way they came from. Surprisedly, the car also turned around and continued following them."Sir, do you know who the person might be?"Arthur shook his head. He wasn't sure of who the occupant of the car might be."Do you think that some people already know about your real identity? Yeah, I think it's someone who knows you." The man continued asking but Arthur was silent."We'll find out soon enough." Arthur replied, his voice barely above a whisper."I need you to swerve to the right at the next junction." Arthur instructed the man who quickly obeyed without questions. He wanted to say something but decided against it."Ok, I need you to park the car at the side of the road while we wait for him to catch up with us." Arthur said and the man gave him a puzzled look. Was he for real? What if the person was armed?"But Sir, is it not dangerous? We don't know who he is and what he wants. What if he has a gun?" The ma
Bryan glared at him with a smirk on his face. "I hope I've made my point clear? If I ever see you close to that house, you won't like what me and my mom would do to you."When Gregg denied being the father of Bryan, Rosaline had told Bryan to follow Arthur and find out where he was staying. She wanted to be many steps ahead of Gregg. If her husband was planning to bring Arthur back, then she would never let anything like that happen. All her efforts would go to waste if her husband were to bring Arthur back home."Hmph." Arthur chuckled as he folded his arms around his chest. Staring at the man before him who has just spewed gibberish. He kept wondering why Bryan was threatening him when he has been away for more than two years. He didn't return home those times, was it when he had become so wealthy that he'd go back there? Why were his step brother and step mother being so insecure? Well, they didn't know how wealthy he had become. That was probably their reason for being insecure. T
Janet could not help but scream when she noticed that Bryan was not moving. She rushed over to where he was and vigorously shook him."Bryan. Bryan." She kept calling out the name as she shook his body. "I'm sorry, Bryan. I didn't mean to push that hard."Confused, Janet stood up and paced around the house. She was oblivious of what to do next. There was no one at home.Since she gave her mother some money, she was able to get the coffee shop running again so she was at the place. Janet ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator with the intention of getting some cold water. Returning to the place where Bryan still lay unconsciously, Janet tried to put some water on his face but decided against it. She was not sure that pouring water on him would revive him.She went over to the dining table and placed the jug of water on it. Hastily, she walked over to the couch where she had been sitting and retrieved her phone. Sliding her fingers through it, Janet tapped on Rosaline's number
"Hey lady. How dare you scratch my car? And you have the nerve to confront me after you didn't look properly at the road." Janet blurted out as soon as she came out of the car. Bryan followed behind with his left hand held against the place where he hit the wall. Their car was in a good shape compared to Jesse's but Janet could not blame herself for what happened. Instead she turned it around and put the blame on Jesse. Jesse just glanced at her and chuckled. She had heard about such people but hadn't come in contact with them."Hmmm."Jesse let out a fake smile. With her left hand lifted above her head, she tousled her hair and stared at the aloof lady. Bryan just stood there without a word, his hand still on his head in a massage. He really didn't want another drama. All he wanted was to go and get himself treated at the clinic.However, he had no say when it came to Janet. She wouldn't even let him intrude in such a matter even though it was his vehicle involved. And especially as
As the police vehicle pulled over at a side, two officers alighted and approached the people."What is going on here?" One of the men asked and Jesse stepped forward. "Officer, look at my car." She pointed to her car that had some scratches on it."That lady crashed my car and is trying to get away with it. She's refusing to pay for the damages."Janet and Bryan alighted from their car and the officers approached them. "Ma'am, Is she telling the truth? Did you crash her car and refuse to compensate her for the damages?"Janet was speechless.She was at fault and she knew it. If she said anything that she shouldn't, they might end up at the police station. Anxiously, She lifted her hand and started scratching her head."Ma'am, did you scratch her car and refuse to pay for the damages?" The officer calmly asked again.Janet glanced at Bryan who stood there speechless and turned to face the policemen. "Sir, It wasn't intentional. She is also at fault here. Look at our own car, she also
