Lawton called Smithson as soon as he got his message and informed him he was on his way to the penthouse.Amanda's mind wasn't as rest as she dropped the call with Smithson as she continued to wonder where Lawton was going and why he wasn't telling her anything.Unable to take it anymore, Amanda picked up her phone and called Lawton again."Please just tell me what is going on Lawton," Amanda said."I'm worried," she added."I have opened the envelope," Lawton said."What is in the envelope?" Amanda said."It was a letter, Amanda," Lawton said."I'm driving now, I have a dinner tonight," Lawton continued."I promise to explain everything to you when I get back tonight," he added."Okay," Amanda said, feeling better.Lawton then assured her not to worry about him and informed her not to call him as his phone was going to be off throughout the night before hanging up the phone.Amanda sighed in relief as she dropped her phone when she walked into the dining room and served herself.Aman
Smithson guards remained in their car as they watched Lawton walk into the hotel.They then got out of the car ten minutes after Lawton had walked in to avoid suspicions.They walked into the restaurant opposite the hotel, disguised as customers.They then all sat together and ordered food while they waited for Lawton.They all had microphones on and wireless earbuds."Can you all hear me," Lawton said as he walked into the restaurant, testing if his microphone was working properly."Yes boss," the guards said."Is everyone on standby?" Lawton asked."Yes boss," The guards said.Lawton then paused admiring the hotel as It was a masterpiece of luxury and elegance.The hotel had a large silver chandelier hanging from the center of the hotel."This is beautiful," Lawton said to herself as he looked at it.The hotel also had beautiful exquisite artwork and sculptures adorning the walls.They had beautiful fragrant flowers arranged in every corner of the reception.Lawton then walked to th
Logan continued to taunt Lawton but Lawton looked at him in silence as he talked.He rather feels at peace feeling one step ahead of Logan.Logan wondered why his taunts hadn't been getting to Lawton as he continued to talk.He then decided to switch to something else that could upset Lawton further."How is life?" Logan said."I heard you now work at a small laundry company," Logan continued."How is it going?" Logan added.Lawton figured Lawton was trying to provoke him and decided to calm himself."Work is going well," Lawton said smiling."Let's talk about you," Lawton added."There's nothing to say," Logan said, trying to avoid to topic."Can we order food now," he continued."Aren't you hungry?" He added."I was waiting for you to finish," Lawton said, looking at him."I'm ready if you are ready," Lawton added.Logan then called out to one of the waiters in the restaurant.He then asked for two menu books for Lawton and himself."Ok sir," the waiter said as he walked away.He th
Lawton has mixed feelings as he stares at his food as Logan's comment about his father strikes a nerve with him.He started to rethink everything that had happened to him and this brought him sad memories.He also began to think deeply about the comment Logan had made about his father.He hated that Logan disrespected his father like that but he knew he had to remain calm to find out the main reason he was there.Mr Logan's taunts had begun to get to Lawton."Aren't you going to eat," Logan said as he looked at Lawton who continued to stare at his food."Did my words affect you that much," he added, laughing."The food smells so good," Lawton said, pulling himself together as he picked up the fork in front of him.Logan continued to worry about how his words had not intimidated Lawton.This startled him as he had expected Lawton to punch him in the face or do something irritational as he spoke rudely about his father but his taunts had just been met with a stone-cold silence.Logan wa
Lawton's eyes widened in surprise as he heard Logan's answer. He looked at him in surprise as he wondered why Logan would want him.He hadn't expected the answer he got from Logan.He wondered what Logan had meant by wanting him as a look of confusion crossed his face.Lawton hesitated for a minute but composed himself as he sat down on the chair."I do not understand what you mean," Lawton said."You want me?" Lawton continued."What does that even mean? I need an explanation," Lawton added."I see potential in you, Lawton," Logan said, looking at a confused Lawton."I want you to join my Empire, Lawton," Logan added, with a stern expression.Lawton burst into laughter as he heard Logan talk, surprised Logan would even think of asking him something like that."You want me to join your Empire?" Lawton said, still laughing."You thought I was going to agree to this," Lawton continued."This is why you invited me here?" Lawton added.Logan was taken aback by Lawton's words.He wondered
Logan was taken aback by Lawton's reaction. He had thought threatening to hurt Amanda would have made Lawton scared and agree to his proposal immediately.He couldn't believe Lawton was unfazed by his threats but pulled himself together as he didn't want Lawton to know he was stunned by his reaction.Logan watched as Lawton gazed at him while he talked with a calm, unreadable gaze.He then started to wonder why Lawton was so calm despite his threats and where Lawton got his unwavering confidence from.Logan concluded Lawton was now working with someone very powerful as he could not think of anywhere else Lawton could have gotten his boldness from.He then decided to apply more pressure and continue to threaten Lawton."You are willing to risk your wife's life because of your stubbornness," Logan said, smiling."Amanda's blood will be on your hand," he continued."I'm not going to spare her Lawton," he added."I would look to see you try," Lawton said, angrily, gazing at Logan."I woul
The journey back to the penthouse was a peaceful one for Lawton.He was tired as he had worked a double shift before going for dinner and he had not had any proper rest.All Lawton wanted to do was go home to his wife but knew he couldn't as he had to go back to the penthouse to inform Smithson about everything that had just happened at the dinner and plan their next step.The driver soon got to the penthouse and informed Lawton who was almost dozing off at the back seat."We are here boss," the driver said, facing him."Okay," A tired Lawton said, as he walked out of the car, walking towards the entrance of the penthouse.Smithson was at the entrance of the Penthouse as he rushed down immediately he heard Lawton's car drive into the compound."Welcome youngmaster," Smithson said, as he saw a tired Lawton walking towards him."You seem very tired young master,' he continued."Did the dinner go well?" Smithson added."Let's talk in the penthouse," Lawton said as he walked inside.Logan
Lawton is tense as he watched Smithson talk. He immediately started to wonder how Logan had gotten his location."Get all the guards ready now," Lawton said as he looked at Smithson.Smithson immediately picked up his phone and ordered all the guards to come into the penthouse immediately."How did this happen?" Lawton said, facing a clueless Smithson."You were supposed to be tracking him, how is he tracking us instead?" Lawton continued."How did he know I was coming here?" Lawton added.Smithson looked at Lawton as talked, he was also as clueless as him."I don't know how this happened youngmaster," Smithson said, bowing his head."He must have followed me here," Lawton said.The guards soon came inside the penthouse and Smithson instructed them to all get their weapons ready as they were going to be under attack soon."Get all your weapons ready!" Smithson stated firmly, facing the guards."Go now! we do not have much time to prepare," Smithson added.The guards rushed out of the
