The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Avaricious
Matthew thought about the question for a few seconds with his smile still intact, and when he had reached an amount within himself, he chuckled excitedly and nodded at the same time. “A thousand dollars won’t be bad at all.” “What?” “Yes!” Matthew said loudly while his smile disappeared and he more a serious look on his face. Jason was taken aback by his words, and he couldn’t believe how greedy he was trying to be. “A thousand dollars? That’s way too much, Sir.” “Well, that’s what I want,” Matthew said without being ready to budge, and Jason scoffed in so much surprise. “Look, man. You know I am just doing you a favor here. You look like you have to be somewhere really important, and I am trying to help you out here. By the way, I don’t think you would be losing a lot of money if you gave me an extra eight hundred bucks from the bundle you have in there.” Matthew pointed to the position Jason kept the rest of the cash he was with. Jason continued to stare at the middl

He continued through the hallway, walking as fast as his legs could carry him even though he wasn’t sure of his plans at that moment. Several thoughts ran through his mind, and he was finding it a bit difficult to place his hands on any decision he was going to make. He got into the elevator, and in less than five minutes he was on the last floor and decided to move out of the building as soon as he remembered that he needed to check on his son. He had taken a few steps away from the elevator when a voice called out to him from a distance, causing him to turn instantly. “Jason? Jason Caruso?” The female voice said, and instantly, Jason was filled with a sensational agonizing reminiscence as he saw the face of the person calling out to him. “Is that…” He couldn’t say the name of the person as merely thinking about it caused him so much pain as it caused the pains of betrayal to flood his mind.The lady who called out to him was tall and had brown-reddish hair flowing down he

Meredith waved at the dashing young man in a blue suit walking out of a room from a corner close to the foyer of the building. He had brown eyes and thick blond hair that made him stand out amongst most of the people he was walking across. “Liam! This way!” Meredith was able to draw his attention the moment he looked up, and as soon as he saw her, he smiled and started to saunter toward her. “That’s my man! That’s Liam.” Meredith chuckled with so much excitement, looking at Jason with her eyes shooting rays of ridicule at him. “Is this really necessary, Meredith? I am sure that the young man has a lot on his table, and wouldn’t want to spend so much time talking to a stranger.” “Oh no, not my Lian. He barely does anything in here. How would he even bother to work when there are capable hands everywhere? He just sits around and orders people to do his work.” “I see.” Jason nodded with a smile, taking note of all the things she said to him. “Oh, yes. Did I mention that he

Jason remained calm, while he watched Xena walk stylishly with her face looking like she had gotten into a fight with someone. “Isn't that your cousin?” Meredith said with a cheerful smile as soon as she saw Xena, and then she stopped at once even with Liam still holding her firmly. “What’s it, babe? You already saw her last night at dinner.” “I know, Liam. I just wanna show this loser that I know the Assistant Manager of this place.” Meredith insisted with a smirk on her face, and then she looked at Jason to be sure that he heard what she said. “Huu!” Liam grunted in a little displeasure, but he really didn’t want to argue with his fiancee.Almost immediately, Meredith turned to Jason with a smirk on her face, and after giving him a scornful look, she rolled her eyes at him. “That’s my fiance’s in-law, you boss. That’s Xena, the Assistant Manager of this place. I am sure she will be pleased to know that my ex-boyfriend now works for her.” Meredith sniggered at Jason, and

Meredith seemed a bit excited by the words she heard from Xena even though she would have preferred that she fired him in order to get rid of the guilt that she struggled to deal with. Xena took in a deep breath, and then she exhaled sharply, fuming with intense annoyance while she glared at Jason with so much scorn.“You over there! Yes, you! Come here, right now?” She pointed at Jason who waited for a few seconds before he slowly took two steps toward Xena. “I need you to stand right there this minute! Don’t make me ask twice!” Xena pointed to a spot on the marble tiles on the floor, but Jason remained where he was with a smile on his face. “What? Didn’t you hear her, you fool? I can see that you don’t value your job. You obviously have plans to go job-hunting soon.” Meredith said to Jason who looked at her and chuckled. “What’s so funny, Mr. Jason? Don’t you know how to respect your superiors? This could make you lose your job.” Liam said to Jason who turned his gaze to hi

“You are bluffing! You can’t do anything to me! I got tired of the relationship and I left. That money was just compensation for all the troubles that I had to endure for the three years I spent with you since college.” “Oh, really?” Jason said calmly to Meredith, looking at her with a smile on his face. “Yes! You are just bluffing!” Meredith tried to maintain her composure, ignoring the eyes of the two people standing beside her who looked very much surprised at the words Jason said. “You stole from him?” Liam asked with a shocked expression on his face. “What? No, babe. I only took what rightfully belonged to me. I mean, his money was my money as well, and I didn’t think he even had any need for it.” Liam looked at Meredith with the same countenance, and he couldn’t figure out the right words to use in order to address the situation. “Who are you? I can’t believe I have been with a person who could do such a thing to a man?” “No, Liam. Don’t say that, don’t let him get

Jason walked out of the building and then headed straight to the car with slow but steady steps. As soon as James saw him coming out of the building, he quickly got out of the car and opened the back door for Jason to get in. “Thank you, James. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for so long.” “Not at all, Young Master. I was occupied throughout the time you were not around.” James said cheerfully, showing Jason the phone he was holding in his hand. Jason chuckled almost immediately, and then he nodded with a smile on his face. “Well, I hope she is worth it, and I wish you the very best.” “Thank you, Young Master,” James said calmly, while he waited for Jason to get into the car before closing the door. Jason sat on the back seat of the car, and then rested his head on it, and sighed heavily, closing his eyes for a few seconds as he was suddenly reminded by his body that he had done some work that he had not done in a while. James got into the car as well, and then he loo

As soon as James started going into the restaurant, Jason followed him immediately. “Nice.” Jason nodded in satisfaction as he looked around the interior of the restaurant which had lovely chandeliers shaped like the moon handing on several angels of the large dining hall. “Where would you like to sit, Young Master?” James asked after taking a few steps into the dining hall. “Hmmm? Let me see.” Jason looked around for a while until he saw a spot he was comfortable with. “There, I think I like it over there.” Jason pointed to a spot by the right-end corner of the dining hall that looked like it was almost secluded from the rest of the spots in the restaurant. James nodded as soon as he looked and saw the spot Jason was talking about, and then he started moving toward it ahead of Jason who followed him after a few seconds of staring. The hall was half-filled, with low disco music playing in the background. The thick curtains hanging by the windows came along with golden embr
