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
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Bryan managed to mutter and Gregg just gave him a dirty look."I'm not your Dad. And you should ask your mother to tell you all that you need to know. You both are worse than the devil. You're here enjoying what you didn't work hard to get while my son who worked hard with me is possibly suffering out there."Gregg turned his back and started to the Sofa before declaring. "I'm giving you ten minutes to leave my house, else I'm calling the police immediately."With that, Gregg took his phone and dialed a number."Hello, am I speaking with the police? Good, I'm Gregg McCain and please come over to my premise. I want some intruders to be whisked out of my house. Make sure you…"Gregg was still speaking when Rosaline reached out for Bryan's hand and dragged it closer to her. "Come on, Bryan."Without more questions, Bryan followed his mother as they rushed to get their things.As the mother and son were on their way to the gate, they glanced at the house
With his mouth agape, Arthur stood there for a while and kept staring at the elevator even though the girl was no longer in his sight."What just happened? Why is she acting that way?" Arthur mumbled incoherently to himself. He glanced around the place with furrowed brows and promised to get to the root of the matter.The girl was being intimidated by someone. With a resolute mind, Arthur scurried into the elevator just to catch up with the girl. As soon as he got out, she was nowhere to be found.He browsed the place with his eyes and found that there was no one who looked like the girl around the place. She had disappeared among the crowd of people. Unfortunately, he found something else. Janet was at the mall with two of her friends. Arthur stopped for a while to glare at her. However, she began to make her way to where he was but he turned around and walked away. He got into the elevator and waved the lady goodbye. Arthur was not running away because he was scared of Janet, he j
As days went by with no positive news about Arthur, Gregg's health kept deteriorating. Fortunately, Oscar was always by his side to help him. The maids were also assigned to watch over him in Oscar's absence."Oscar, I think your boys are not doing enough. How long before they find Arthur. I'm tired of hearing the same stories over and over again. It's frustrating." Gregg, who had not left the house since Rosaline and Bryan were thrown out, had turned his room around. Everything at his reach had been destroyed. Unless it was something that could not be destroyed. Sometimes, Gregg hurts himself in the process."You have to calm down Sir. I promise you that Arthur will be found. If you continue like this, you'll badly hurt yourself."Oscar continued to pacify him. Although, he made sure to remove anything that will cause him harm."Please, try harder.""I will. You just have to be strong." Oscar replied as he went ahead to pat Gregg. "Everything will be fine. Just try and stay stronger
Quietly, Jesse turned around and made her way back to the restaurant. She was in a state of perplexity. Why would Arthur pretend to be poor? Was he really her boss?Jesse didn't know if she heard wrong. If her ears weren't deceiving her, then Arthu had been lying to her all the while. Jesse was in so much pain as she thought about what she just overhead. It was even more painful as she had accepted to be his girlfriend.She got to their table and sat down with her head resting on her hands. The look on her face was worrisome and Jenny could not help but notice the change in her sister's countenance. She had just gone to use the restroom but came back with a long face."Jess, are you ok? You just went to use the restroom in a cheerful state. Why do you look so worried?"With a deep sigh, Jesse lifted her face to look at her sister. She forced a smile and with furrowed brows, she replied to her sister. "I suddenly feel sick. My stomach aches a little and I think we should start going h
After pondering on the matter for sometime, Arthur had no choice but to call the cab driver who took him home. Meanwhile, the sisters soon got home in their apartment. Jesse stormed into the place with her hands on her head as she began to pace around the sitting room. She would often stop and sit briefly on the sofa.As she stood up to continue pacing, a soft hand held her, stopping her in her tracks. "The last time I checked, we are sisters who should look out for each other. When did you start keeping things from me? Do you know that I'm completely lost since you decided to keep me in the dark? How can I even help you when I don't know what the problem is?"Jenny helped her sister sit down and she managed to calm down after letting out a deep sigh."What did Arthur do to you?" Jenny probed further."He's been lying to me all these while." Jesse replied to her sister in a disappointed tone. "Can you believe that Arthur is my boss and has been pretending to be a security mall guard.
