As soon as Jaxon left with Sasha, the men resumed beating up Damson. He was too tired to fight back so they had the upper hand and almost beat him to a pulp. He was lucky because the manager of the restaurant had to call the police when they found out that the men weren't showing signs of stopping the beatings and as soon as they heard the siren of the police car they ran away. The police men walked up to him to ask what had happened and who the men were but he didn't say anything. He could have easily told them about Jaxon and what he did but there was no point. They offered to call the ambulance for him but he rejected their offer and told them he would go to the hospital himself. He sat on a chair, his hand over his face and he panted heavily. He was tired and his body was aching all over. He brought out his phone and called Sasha but she wasn't picking it up. He hoped that she was fine and Jaxon didn't do anything to her.He was brought out of his thoughts when one of the wait
Maria rubbed her forehead, sighing heavily. Her boss had mistaken Damson for the worker she was expecting and she didn't wait for her to explain. This isn't the first time she'd be dealing with her mixing people up. She was fed up. "I'm so sorry about that, Damson. She didn't give me the chance to explain to her that you're not the new worker." Maria said. "Oh, it's fine, I could see that she was impatient so it's not your fault at all. Don't worry about it." Damson said, wincing as he adjusted his shirt. "You should go to the hospital. What if you have an internal bleeding or a broken rib, that would be bad. All these little winces can be a sign.""I'll go after I'm done here. What we have to do won't take long, will it?" "What do you mean by that? What are we doing together?" Maria asked, confused. "We have to pack the shoes in the boxes or have you forgotten what your boss said?" Oh, I remember but what I don't understand is why we have to do it together. You even have to be
"I'm really sorry that this is happening. I didn't know that she'd end up suggesting we take the boxes to the orphanage." Maria apologized. "I know that you might have plans of your own but to be honest, I can't do this alone. You might have to shift your visit to the hospital. "I don't even understand why the new worker isn't showing up. This doesn't make a’y sense,"Damson wasn't even bothered about what Maria's boss asked them to do. What he had in his head was the conversation they were having before Maria had to pick the call. He really wanted to know what happened between her and Caleb and was annoyed that the call came through. "Are you even sure you're listening to me?" Maria asked, bringing him out of his thoughts. "I said I'll make sure you get paid for this so you won't just work for nothing." "Oh, it's fine. I'm really not interested in the pay but if you're insisting, I'll have it." Damson replied with a smirk. "I didn't even insist." Maria laughed. "Just say you wan
Damson watched Luis as he spoke to people sitting around him, laughing with each other like they've known themselves for a long time. He was surprised and wondered how Luis got to be friends with some of the wealthy people in the city. "What is going on? Is there something Luis is hiding from me and do I truly know his real self?" Damson thought to himself. "Are you okay? You look disturbed." Mia said and Damson took in a deep breath, rubbing the side of his mouth. "Yeah, I'm good. I'm just looking around and watching everyone." He didn't want Maria to know that Luis was in the hall. "Hm, alright then. If you say so. I want to go and say hi to some of the kids. We'll be sharing the shoes to them ourselves so I want to make them familiar with me. Are you interested in going with me?""Oh, no. Not right now. I'll watch you first to see how you do it. I'm not so good with kids and I don't want to mess up. Also, my face isn't even the best right now and they might get scared." "True,
Damson crossed his arms as he watched Luis speak to him, explaining why he was in the orphanage. He didn't know if he should believe him or not, but he sounded really convincing. "It's not that I don't want to believe you but did I really tell you that you shouldn't involve me in matters like this? This is quite big and important." "Yes you did, young master. You didn't specify exactly what I should inform you or not but I felt like this wasn't important since I could do it on my own. I apologize if I did the wrong thing but I'm not here based on any bad agenda. I'm here on behalf of Stellarcorp. I'm not even big enough to run a sponsorship." "Infact, you can ask the manager if she truly sent a proposal to the company. I don't understand why you think I'm someone who you can't trust, your father made me the person you can always turn to, to help and guide you." "If he had thought that I couldn't be trusted, he wouldn't have given me this position." Damson cleared his throat and r
Maria gasped, staring at the pieces of the business card on the floor. She didn't understand what was wrong with Damson and was very annoyed. "Sorry, please give us a minute. She said to Paxton before dragging Damson to the side. "What is wrong with you? Why are you being such a jerk? This man is trying to help us and you're being very rude!"Damson scoffed. "Rude? I haven't even done anything. He's getting on my nerves and if he's not careful, I'll make him regret coming here. He needs to understand that we're not interested in his offer." "I'm so tired of how you act. Why on earth are you behaving like this!? I have a mouth of my own and I can make decisions myself. You didn't even ask me how I feel about the job offer before saying we aren't interested. What if I'm actually interested? Can you just stop being obnoxious?" "You can't be interested in his offer and that's final!""You don't get to tell me what to do. You of all people should know that I need a better job offer and
Damson stared at Mia, not believing his eyes. He was so carried away that he had forgotten that the person next to her actually asked him a question. She was dressed in a short blue gown which hugged her body tightly, showing her curves and it was paired with a matching bag. She had on her feet pretty shoes and her jewelry glittered as she moved. She looked beautiful and attractive.He couldn't help but wonder how she got to afford everything she was wearing because he could tell that they would be really expensive. She really looked like someone that was really wealthy. He would have thought she was, if he didn't know who she truly was. "I asked you a question, young man?" The voice said again and Damson took his time to look at him. The man was tall, with a face that looked really pale. He also had a cold look on his face which screamed 'don't you dare mess with me" "And who are you?" Damson asked after a moment, crossing his arms. "You just walked out of the hall and asked a q
"You seem to think everyone is like you." Damson chuckled. "Everything you have to say about me relying on Sasha is based on groundless rumors and you know that. You have no proof to show that I actually do rely on her." "For you, it's not the same. There's enough proof to show that all you do is rely on men for their money. Look at you right now. The only reason you're here right now is because of Sonic. I'm sure you can't even afford the clothes you're wearing yourself and the reason you left me was because you couldn't rely on me to give you money." "I'm so glad you let me and you can't imagine how much relief I've felt since then."Mia bit her tongue, not knowing what to say. Damson's words hurt her deeply. "I'm really not interested in continuing this conversation with you. I didn't even ask you for your input in this matter in the first place. How you ended up talking to me, I don't understand. So just stay back and mind your business. Maintain your position next to your boyf
