The workers exchanged questioning glances at themselves and after a few seconds, they all began to exit the storage room one after the other and back to work.After walking out on the workers while claiming not to be mad, Bryan stormed out of the factory and made his way to Royal mall where he patiently waited for Arthur to come out. He wanted to vent his anger on him but unfortunately, he waited there for the whole time without seeing Arthur. Arthur already left the place some minutes before he arrived because his shift was over.After waiting there for some time, Bryan left the place and went back home.Meanwhile, Arthur went to visit an old friend since there was nowhere to go. Jesse had refused to hang out with him. She had been avoiding him since when he confessed his feelings for her. "But it was she who kissed me first, then why is she acting that way? Why is she denying herself love just because of what people would think?" Arthur muttered to himself as he walked into 'Probit
Morris was without a word. He just chuckled lightly and stood up from his seat. "S… Arthur, please can you come with me to the presidential suite for some refreshments? We have no guests there at the moment."The presidential suite was mainly reserved for Carl Ramon but it was occasionally used to host very important guests. That moment, there was nobody occupying the place so it was free.Arthur thought hard for some time and decided against it. He wasn't going up there to just eat. The place was also meant for relaxation. But what's the use of relaxing alone at the place when Jesse was not by his side?"Uh, Morris. I think I'll pass for now. I don't want to come to the place alone. If I'll use the place, then it would be with someone special by my side."Morris chuckled and threw his face on the ground. He was blushing for Arthur who began to laugh at him."Wait, tell me. Are you also in love?"Morris' mouth fell apart. He was stunned to hear that question from Arthur. That was the
Bryan got home and found his mother relaxing in the sitting room. Rosaline saw her son walk in and pretended not to notice his presence. "Mom?""Bryan, please. Just let me have some peace. I'm already exhausted from today's work." Rosaline was quick to respond and didn't want to give him any chance to bug her. Bryan went and sat close to her and the mother and son kept throwing glances at each other. He sighed and decided to speak up first, only that his voice was unexpectedly calm."Mom, I'm sorry for yelling at you over the phone earlier. I was not happy about what you did, that was why I acted that way. Please, I still need your support like before. Why did you suddenly change your attitude towards Janet?""Because she's a gold digger. All she has ever done was to take from you. Wait, I remember you told me that she was snatched from Arthur. When they were dating, did he give in to her excessive demands?" Bryan sighed before replying. "Mom, she's not making any excessive demands
"I dare you to lay your fingers on me and you'll see that I'm not a pushover." Arthur shoved her hands aside. He stood up and beckoned on a waiter who quickly came by.Arthur took out his wallet and shoved some dollar notes to the man's hand, after which he left the place. He got to the place where Stella was busy with her food and paused. He glanced once in the direction of the woman and made his way back home.At the seat where she sat, Janet let out a long sigh of despair. She had never felt so embarrassed before.She kept wondering what gave Arthur such boldness and temerity to challenge her. How dare he? Janet tilted her head as the fire of hatred kept burning in her. The hatred she has for Arthur.After a moment of silence, she became a little calm, gradually stood up and began to make her way back to the place where her mother was still busy with her food. She was fortunate that no one saw what happened except for the waiter who saw some water in the raiment of Arthur's food. A
Gregg waited for Rosaline and her son to leave for work before calling Oscar to come around. The latter, on the other hand, had not always been around Gregg because of Rosaline. However, it was so urgent that Gregg needed his presence."Hi boss. You sounded so urgent. What actually happened?" The man asked as soon as he was inside the room with Gregg. Gregg, on the other hand, kept pacing the room. He would stop once and kick anything he sees. "I'm still wondering how I let myself be used by strangers. Can you believe that I overheard their discussion last night. They framed my son and I believed them without proper confirmation. How can I be so stupid, Oscar?"Gregg bent over and fell on the floor where he began to sob. "I'm such a fool."Seeing his boss on the floor, Oscar ran to the place to help him up but he refused."I want my Son back. I want Arthur back here to take his rightful position in this house.Gregg suddenly stood up and reached for the duvet. He began to pull it ou
That night after work, Arthur led Jesse to the beach with their hands crossed against each other's hands. Even though he was still inexperienced in matters of the heart, he promised to do his best. He had also gone to meet Nick and had gotten some tips."I like the tranquility of the beach side. It's always one of my safe haven whenever I'm down." Jesse said and Arthur glanced at her, a small smile making its way in his face."Yeah, it's a good place to think, especially at a time like this." He replied with a glint in his eyes. They got to a spot and sat down on the ground with Jesse resting her head on Arthur. It felt so good and peaceful leaning on Arthur's shoulder. Jesse had been in love before but none had worked out. However, she was convinced that Arthur won't give her trouble."Jess, why did you accept me even though I'm just a mall security guard? You could have fallen in love with someone of your class. Maybe a CEO or some corporate worker that has a good position in a rep
After a moment of silence, Arthur said to him. "Ofcourse, I'd love to hang out with you. Just send me the time and location.""Alright Sir, I'll do that right away."Morris ended the call.After a few seconds, Arthur received a message from Morris.With that, he called the cab driver and asked to be taken to somewhere cool since he wasn't ready to go home.***Because it was night already, Oscar took Gregg to a cool place so they could have their discussion away from prying ears. Moreover, Bryan and his mother would be at home at that time.At a very secluded space in the bar, Oscar and his boss sat opposite each other with the former wearing a long face."What did you find out, Oscar? Hurry up and tell me because I'm so curious. Did they really conspire against my Son?" Gregg inquired with his face casting a questioning gaze."Calm down Boss. It's a serious matter and I want you to stay calm as I reveal what I found out to you. I know it won't be easy but you should promise not to le
Gregg didn't wait till morning before sending a message to the HR of his company. He wanted the conspirators out of his company first thing the next morning.The HR saw his message late at night and decided to call him. However, Gregg couldn't pick up because Rosaline was around. Even though she was sleeping, he decided to leave the place for his study. At the confines of his study, Gregg locked the door and called the man back who picked up immediately. "Sir, I just got your message. I hope there's no problem?""If there wasn't any problem, I wouldn't be sending you this kind of message late at night. Just do as you're told." Gregg replied to the man who quickly apologized."I'm sorry Sir. I'll do as you've said.""Good, send them the termination mail this night. They're going to wake up with the great news tomorrow." Gregg instructed."Yes, Sir. I'll get to work immediately." The man replied and wanted to end the call but Gregg halted him."I'm sorry for the stress tonight. Don't
