The file that was handed over to him by his grandfather contained the twins' illegal activities. Since he was yet unknown as the new owner of the mall, his grandfather helped him get rid of them so he could still continue his job. Surely, there must be something else he could still find out going on in the place.With a smirk on his face, Arthur turned around to the direction of the exiting sisters but they were already out of sight. His thoughts wandered back on the young man that had earlier avoided them. Turning to face Nick. he commented, "Louis was also fired, was he not?"Nick nodded in approval. "They all got their sack letters sent to their emails and were handed the hard copy this morning."Nick stopped talking and stared at Arthur in a questioning gaze. "How did you know that Louis was also sacked? I didn't tell you about his sack."With a smile, Arthur replied to the man in front of him. "I saw him trying to avoid us. He was on his way out but was quick to see us so he drew
Arthur was still smiling at the ladies as they were led into the police vehicle. They were just so perplexed.What just happened?It sounded like a joke when Arthur called them thieves and said that they deserved to be locked up. Did he really have a hand in their arrest? But how come?They concluded that Arthur was a snitch who came to the mall to get them. Yeah, he should be a private detective.With that in mind, the girls decided that they would come back for Arthur after they were out of the problem on their hands.With a mischievous smile on his face, Arthur made his way into the mall where he kept overhearing the gossip of the earlier incident."What do you think they did that got them arrested?""I'm not sure about that. All I know is that they must have done something wrong. And I heard they were staff of this mall who got fired this morning.""Well, whatever it is that the sisters did, must be very serious to warrant an arrest after being sacked.""Ofcourse, I've heard about
"What? But we had already decided on it. There's no time for procrastination. We have to do this immediately. Tell me where you are, I'm coming over." Bryan flared up but Janet remained silent.Realizing that he just raised his voice at Janet, he started apologizing. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. I didn't mean to do so, it's just that there's a lot at stake here if we keep procrastinating.""How dare you yell at me? And how's that my business if you have no time? It's your problem, not mine. You should be grateful that I offered to help you. If you get me angry, then I'll withdraw my help and you can do it yourself. All I know is that I'll take a walk when you start being stingy to me." Janet yelled back at him and Bryan had no choice but to remain silent."I'm sorry." Bryan apologized again and Janet chuckled."You know what, I just changed my mind. It'll be better if you hire someone for this job. Just call me when there's something I can do, which is mainly to shop."Janet rudely
"Jess, please wait up." Jesse continued to run and Arthur followed behind her. He was confused and worried that something he did must have offended her. She soon got to her car and was about to get into it but Arthur held her hand and prevented her from getting in. With her heart pounding in her chest, Jesse folded her arms and looked away while trying to catch her breath. Arthur drew closer and searched for her face but she refused to look at him."Are you okay Jess? Is anything the matter? I hope I haven't offended you in any way?"Jesse was silent.Gradually, Arthur lifted her chin and began to turn it to his face. Jesse tilted her face again, refusing to make eye contact with him. She looked so confused."Jesse, talk to me please. Why are you running away from me?"He lifted her right palm and placed it on his chest. "Can you feel my heartbeat? It beats only for you. I love you Jesse. I know that we've only known each other for a few weeks. However, I can't deny the feeling I hav
Rosaline was at Janet's residence first thing the next morning. As she knocked at the door, Janet and her mother thought it was a neighbor who had come to disturb their beauty sleep."Please go away. It's still early in the morning to knock on someone's door."Rosaline knocked harder the second time and subsequent times and Janet had no choice but to go and open it. After all, It was already past 7am and any working class or business person should be awake by that time. Unfortunately, the Hudsons were lazy people except for Irene who was busy with school work.Janet opened the door and was greeted by Rosaline's dirty look on her.With her mouth agape, Janet stared back at the woman in perplexity. What was she doing in her house that early? "Who is it, Janet?" Stella's voice came from inside but no one replied to her."Are you going to keep staring or let me in?" Rosaline snorted coldly and Janet quickly made way for her by stepping aside."Of course ma'am. Welcome to our home. What b
Janet swiftly ran to the door to make sure that Rosaline had truly left the place. Indeed, she was nowhere close. She heaved a sigh of relief and made her way back inside to get her phone."What just happened, Janet? Why is she acting like her son is a twelve year old boy?"Janet shook her head. "She's just overprotective of Bryan. Unfortunately for her, Bryan doesn't listen to her as he would do anything I ask him to do. Like she said earlier, he's so obsessed with me."Janet left her mother in the sitting room and went to her room to get her phone. With the phone in her hand, Janet dialed Bryan's number and he picked up immediately."Hi Janet, how are you doing? I hope you have forgiven me for yelling at you yesterday? It wasn't intentional and you know it. And I hope you had a…""Bryan." Janet yelled at him and he stopped talking.He was wondering why she was angry so early in the morning. Was something wrong with her? What had happened?"Janet, are you okay? You don't sound alrig
Jesse looked away and replied to him. "I'm not avoiding you. I just forgot something in my office and I was heading back to collect it before you interrupted me. You should just get to work while I go back to my office."Arthur was without a word.It was clear that the lady was avoiding him and she was denying it.He reached out to hold her hand but stopped halfway. Jesse, on the other hand, turned her face on Arthur and almost screamed."What happened to your face? Are you sure you're ok? No, what am I even saying? You're not ok."She furrowed her brows and stared intently at Arthur who was giving her a pleading look.Jesse shook her head. "You didn't sleep last night, did you?"Tilting his face, Arthur lifted his hand and began to scratch his head. "Ugh. Actually, I… You're right. I kept thinking about you and the fact that you refused me."Lifting his head, he rubbed his hands on his face and faked a smile. "Jess, I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. Please, just give me a chanc
Arthur swallowed hard before turning to the man with a smile that didn't reach his eyes."Ugh, actually Nick. I was going to tell you about them but it keeps skipping my mind. Tell me, have you seen them around recently?"Nick shook his head. "Not after the last time they embarrassed me.""Ok, ugh. Actually, they're my highschool mates. I used to be cool with the girl but she was turned against me by the guy who was known for bullying naive students those years in school. They kept taunting me because my family was not rich like theirs." Arthur lied. He fixed his gaze on Nick to see if the man believed him. However, the look on his face was suggesting otherwiseNick stared at him for a while and asked. "If the guy was the bully, why does the girl look more like it? I mean, the girl was the one who threw abusive words at you and even poured water on you. It was the same girl who spoke to me rudely."Nick took a long pause but Arthur did not say anything. "From the way I saw it, the gi
