He walked majestically to get his award from the chairman of the occasion. He never thought that he would get an award in this, even though he bluntly didn't want to attend because he didn't feel like it, but to his greatest amazement, he has been called out to get an award he never lobbied for. The whole thing was crazy and suspicious, but he took it anyway. He got to the podium to get his award, and while everyone was cheering, Kaylay got up and excused herself from the table after cheering on her man for some time. She didn't want to move around when they were still seated, even though she had been in the corporate world for decades. She still had some sort of shyness and fright whenever she found herself in a large gathering such as this.“I want to use the restroom." She told Tyler before she left. He nodded at her, and she squeezed her way out of the hall. She strolled out and took a left turn towards the other side of the wing, where the lady's convenience was located. The hall
“It's drizzling on you, and you can't walk home either," Peter told her. She bit her lower lip and smacked it. "Come, let's go,” Peter said, trying to pull her hand off, but she hit his hand off and walked back. She got into the car and sat down. Peter just couldn't understand the sudden change in democracy. Just a few minutes ago, they had defeated Mia together as a couple, and now she is fighting him already for what he knows nothing about. He tilted his head and watched her as she walked into the car. I got to the seat and fastened his seat belt. Then he remembered that his suit was a little bit wet. He unfastened the seat belt and took his jacket off. Then he put the seat belt back into place.He noticed how Kayla folded her arms and watched him.“What? Kayla, why are you staring at me like I committed some murder?" He asked her out of curiosity and care.“I am offended by the way you let her run into your arms back there." She finally let the words out. Peter was patiently waiti
The next morning, when Kayla woke up, she was feeling much better than when she had gone to bed. She lay in bed and grabbed the remote from the nightstand. and turned the television to her favorite TV show. She yawned and checked the time. She didn't feel like going to work today, so she picked up her phone and texted her boss that she wasn't feeling well. She was quite exhausted, and with the bruise on her face, there was no way she was going to spend the whole day explaining to her colleagues what happened to her.“Are you sure he even got the text?” She asked herself after she had sent the text five minutes ago. She grabbed the comforter for herself and rested her head on her arm. She sighed in frustration. Mia had ruined her entire night, and now she had to live with the anguish for the day. No amount of make-up would hide the bruises; except for that, she was perfectly fine. She picked up her phone and dialed her boss's number directly."Hello,” she said when his voice came on th
Peter had just pulled in at the Coleman Tower when he spotted Victor's car just stopping too. He knew it was his so-called cousin, but he had no plans to have a chit-chat with him. He is aware of the several plots against him, so he has made a vow to himself to keep his distance. He put on his dark shades, making him look even more elegant and sharp as he was in his grand style.“Ah! Ah! Here comes the Alpha of the great family. I should have known better. A loser would always be a loser." Victor began to scowl the words the moment he saw Peter approaching the tower's front door.“I don't have time for this bullshit." Peter said it in his mind and continued to walk. The moment he got a bit closer, Victor jumped out of nowhere and tooted in front of him.“Get the hell off my path before I crush you to powder." Peter said, and the anger was beginning to build up in his heart. "Oh, you are not that tough, you know that, right? And I don't think I even care about how tough you are." Vic
The governor's office was in the heart of town. Peter had quickly arranged himself with Tyler for the meeting. They both got out of the tower, and Tyler held the door for Peter to go in. He was on a call when the driver moved the car. Tyler couldn't pick out whom he was speaking to over the phone, but he knows it had to be someone very important because Peter has made up his mind not to take any unimportant calls during work hours, especially during meetings. He didn't bother to eavesdrop on the conversation since it really didn't concern their job. But from all he could gather, it had to be with the contractors at the new casino tower he was building. That structure alone had taken a lot of money from Peter's personal account, but he didn't even flinch because it was his money, and the casino business is a very good investment, especially if the fellow has good experience running it. Peter took a deep breath and ended the call just a few minutes before they arrived at the governor'
"Alright, you can go with the frittatas, quiches, and tarts. It's nice, and you could add up some grilled chicken breast and veggies or shrimp if you want." She said,Tyler looked at Peter but he was busy talking when the governor noticed him. “It's fine as long as we love it.”."Sure, you will." She said yes and left with the request. Just about that time, the minister showed up.He was a broadly built man, and despite his age, he could pass for a 35-year-old with all the abs and muscles. He looked like he had spent a lot of time at the gym before he finally decided to join politics.“His Excellency; good day to you." He greeted her casually and shook hands with the governor.“Mr. Peter, how are you?” The minister shook hands with him also.“You are welcome, sir. Tyler was greeted quickly, and he also got a handshake.“So we are here to discuss the commissioning of the bridge. It is almost finished. Is that so, Peter?“Yeah, that's it. The work is about 75 percent finished, and we h
“What the hell were you doing out here? I thought you called in sick. Did you sneak to work while I was away?” Peter asked.“No”. I just came out to get a few groceries. “Groceries, for what, though?” “For us, aren't you coming home for dinner?”“Kayla I have a chef, and that's her job. To cook my meals, you don't have to stress yourself.“Well, she told me her baby was sick, so I had to let her go.”.“You should inform me next time." He said it to her. Kayla buried her head on his shoulders till they got to the house. Then he instructed the driver to take Tyler to his own house.“What would you like for dinner?” She asked him the moment they got into the house.“I'm filled. I have a good time at the governor's home, so I won't need any food until tomorrow." Peter said.“Suit yourself then." She snorted the words to him and went her way. They slept that night without any trouble.The next morning, Kayla looked happier than she had gone to bed. Peter was still sleeping when he got a
The wheels screeched loudly against the tarred road as the car turned inward in three sixty-degree directions. “The bastard had something to do with this." He cursed as he drove off angrily. A delivery truck stalled in front of him as he approached the main road. “Get the hell out of the way." Peter barked the words out of his mouth. He sped up the lane, and like a flash, he overtook the truck. He drove as fast as he could, and the moment he got to Victor's apartment, he was happy when he saw Victor's car parked outside. He hurried out of his car and knocked on the door. The second I knocked, he heard the voice boom from inside.“Hold on, I'm coming." And then it was followed by heavy footsteps. Peter balked his fist and wailed patiently. His chest swells and falls as he waits for Victor to open the door, and just as he had anticipated, Victor opens the door, and boom, Peter punches him in the face.“Whoa! What did I do?” “You idiot! After everything my father did for you and your
