Immediately Raymond signed out, Myrtle who had been lurking around hurried towards him with a broad smile. Returning her smile, they began to chat lightly as they headed for the garage. When they arrived at the bar, Raymond led her to the reserved table then asked her to order drinks. "Sir, you are a heavy drinker. Should I pour more for you?" Myrtle asked with a soft chuckle. Three bottles were already empty. "Yeah. Go ahead, thank you for the drinks, I really appreciate it." Raymond smirked, giving her thumbs up. He was feigning to be drunk so he would catch her off guard. Because of the dim light in the bar, Myrtle thought he had been drinking the champagne she always refilled his glass with. Unknowingly to her, the content of his glass always landed on the floor. "Come on sir, I should be the one appreciating you. I invited you for drinks but you ended up paying for them. Thanks for the treat, I promise to put my best at work." She reeled with a curt bow. Smirking, Raymond l
On D-day of their departure, Julia drove Raymond and Niko to the airport. After saying her goodbyes, she waited for their plane to leave before heading for school. Unknowingly to Winston who was in the first class flight, Raymond who was tailng him was in the economic class and Myrtle, his trusted girlfriend was selling him out. When they arrived in Spain, Raymond decided to secure an accommodation in Presidential Suite, a five star hotel, while Niko went ahead to rent a car so that their movement would be unrestricted and smooth. Pulling their luggages out of the taxi he had boarded, he paid for his fare then began to head towards the entrance of the hotel. Just as it should be, the reception corner was right after the lobby. Immediately the receptionist saw him approaching, she wore a welcoming smile which Raymond found himself returning. "Hello, I'm Sarah. How can I assist you today?" She asked in a sing-song voice. "I'm Raymond Winston. I need accommodation for a week." He r
For the next few days, Raymond spent a little of his time with Sarah. It was during one of their meetings that he got to know about her new husband who was equally a divorcee. He was glad to know she was happy with the marriage and was even expecting a baby for him. Exactly a week later, Raymond and Niko returned home. This time around, it was Adam who came for them because Julia had classes to attend. Pulling their luggages, they trailed after Adam who was leading the way towards his car. Suddenly, Raymond halted then took a swift turn in the opposite direction, smirking, he said, "He will be arriving on the next plane scheduled to land by noon." "What are you going to do now? Are you going to allow him to get to the comfort of his home before you do something?" Adam asked. "No, he will be arrested right here in the airport. I want him to feel what I felt when he embarrassed me at the party." "Yeah, that's right. So, what's your next move?" "Take me to the police station, the
Julia had just finished speaking with Raymond on the phone after the successful arrest only for her to turn around to see a dozen of her mates staring back at her. She tried to get away from the scene but their ring leader, Freya, pulled her back then made her rest her back against the wall. "Who do you think you are?" She smirked. "Let go of me." Julia snapped, pushing her away from herself. "Did you see that? Did you guys see what she just did?" Freya chuckled, arranging her rumpled dress. "What do you want from me?" She yelled, matching her gaze with a more intense one. Ever since Raymond introduced himself as the CEO of Dulo and the news went round the school that she was his wife, she became a prey in the hands of some jealous schoolmates and coursemates. "Leave, you don't belong here." Freya smirked . "It's not as if you own the school." She retorted, hands across her chest to show she wasn't going to allow them to intimidate her. "You think because your husband is…" she
Chapter 132 Luke Winston had just ended a meeting with the staff when his personal assistant walked up to him with his iPad. He whispered a few words to him before handing the device over. It wasn't long that Luke's neutral face became masked with worry as he bit his bottom lips. "Get my driver." He said almost in a whisper. Unable to hear his boss' instruction, his personal assistant leaned close hoping he would repeat his words. "What are you still doing here?" Luke barked. "I didn't get what you said earlier." He replied, head bent to avoid getting hit. "Go get the driver." He yelled "You heard me now, right?"With his personal assistant out of the room he grabbed the closest chair nearby then threw it against the wall. Still fuming, he began to pace around the room, kicking everything out of the way as he muttered incoherent words to himself. "The car is ready." His personal assistant announced and without wasting time, Luke dashed out of the room. "Take me to the station.
Raymond's joy knew no bounds. Not only did he hit his main target, he got Winston's accomplice behind bars too. Two days after the arrest, Dennis informed him about Winston's wish to see him. He declined the invitation but when Dennis wouldn't stop pestering him, he obliged. When he arrived at the station that afternoon, Dennis was already in the garage to receive him and together, they made their way into the station. "What's he saying?" Raymond asked. They were heading to the interrogation room where Winston was still held hostage. "He's pleading the fifth and all of a sudden, he requested to see you." Immediately Raymond stepped into the room, Winston rose then sent a slap across his face. "How do you feel?" He scoffed. "What was that for?" "I know exactly how you feel. You weren't expecting it and it hurts, right? That's exactly how I felt when you sent the cops to arrest me at the airport. Sending this message to you via text wasn't a hard thing to do but I invited you he
Instead of correcting him, Niko and Adam burst into a mocking laughter and at that instant Tony's grin disappeared and was replaced with a frown. Ignoring his change in facial expression, the duo continued to laugh until their sides ached. "What mischief are you both up to now?" Tony asked, glaring at them. "You aren't speaking to a guest, rather, you are speaking with the CEO's wife." Niko said. "Really? My bad, my bad." He chuckled lightly though still embarrassed that he had mistaken her for a guest. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Winston." He said, stretching his hand towards her. "Nice to meet you too." Julia replied with a little smile. She was feeling uncomfortable. It had been a while since Raymond left the table and he was yet to return.Sbe had looked around the conference hall but he was nowhere to be found. "Never knew the CEO is married, not to any girl but to a pretty one." Tony smirked. "Are you trying to flirt with the CEO's wife? If you are not careful, I will sue yo
Jason stepped out of his car then banged the door shut with all his might. Swinging his briefcase in between his fingers, he began to head towards the building in front of him — Riverside Correctional center. Winston had called him to visit him at Riverside Correctional Center where he was moved to. Because of his influence, he had room to himself, ate whatever he liked, did whatever he wanted, in fact he was doing everything like a free man. The only difference was he wasn't allowed to step out of the building. "I'm here to see John Winston, number 1284." Jason said. He was speaking to the guard at the desk. "Here, sign this." The guard replied, pushing a ledger towards him. After signing, the guard led him to an empty room instead of the booth and moments later, Winston joined him. "How are you holding up? You don't look like a prisoner." Jason chuckled, pulling his laptop to himself. Ignoring his sarcastic statement, Winston took his seat, crossing his legs and arms across his
