"I should get back to the office," the lawyer said, as he stood up from his chair."Thank you," Lawton said, shaking his hands."I will have him take care of the payment," he added, pointing to Smithson."Okay," the lawyer said, walking out of the office.Tony offered to show Lawton around the event centre as he figured bh might need help with getting familiar with the environment."That will be very much appreciated," Lawton said, walking towards the door of the office with Smithson.They all walked out of the office as Tony started to show Lawton and Smithson around the environment."This is the last place which is the hall," Tony said."Thank you for your help," Lawton said."I would like to take my leave now," Tony said, as he was done showing Lawton around.Lawton then thanked him again before walking him to his car."Bye," Lawton said, as he watched Tony drive away.Back inside the hall, Jane was angry as she wondered where the manager of the event centre was.She then asked a s
Lawton smiled as he continued to ignore Jane who followed him.He then decided to turn around to look at her as he was becoming irritated by her noise.He decided to pardon her as he looked at her."Let her take a small part of the hall," Lawton said, facing the manager."What is your name?' Lawton asked as he figured he did not know his name."Vick," the manager, said."Ok Vick, just give her a small part there," Lawton added, pointing to a small part of the hall.This further angered Jane as she would rather not have her event at all than manage a small part of the hall."That tiny part?" She said as she looked at him."What am I supposed to do with that small part?" She continued angrily."No, I do not want it," she added, before storming out of the hall.Lawton smiled as he watched her walk away."She will be back," he whispered to himself.Jane walked outside and got into her car angrily as she wondered how she was going to get to another event centre in such a short period of ti
Amanda looked up at the time as she continued to work, it was almost time for her lunch break but she decided to skip lunch as she wanted to finish up her work for the day and leave.She picked up her phone as she checked the pictures of the hall Lawton had sent her earlier.She smiled as she looked at the picture again and again.She then realized she had not made any plans and they were running out of time."I have to start planning immediately after I get home," she said to herself, as she continued her work.Barry was in his office working when he suddenly thought of Amanda.He had been thinking of what to do with her and finally came up with a plan."I know what to do," Barry said to himself as he smiled.He then looked up at his time and realized it was already time for his lunch break."I better start working on my plan," He said, as he stood up from his chair and rushed out his office.He walked towards Amanda's office and knocked on the door as he got there."Come in," Amanda
Clara hurriedly finished her food at the cafeteria as she couldn't stand seeing Amanda and Barry together anymore.She walked out of the cafeteria and walked into her office angrily when she noticed Logan sitting on one of the chairs in the reception.Logan who was still waiting at the reception stood up and walked towards her as soon as he noticed her looking at him."Good afternoon," he said, smiling softly."Good afternoon," Clara said, enthralled by the stranger in front of her.Clara is lost in a daze as she looks at Logan, she wonders who he has come to see as she admires him.'What can I do for you?" Clara said, composing herself."I'm here to see Barry," Logan said."He is at the cafeteria right now," Clara said."You can sit and wait for him or join him at the cafeteria," she added."I will join him at the cafeteria," Logan said."Okay," Clara said."He is in there," she added, pointing to the cafeteria."Thank you," Logan smiled broadly as he away from her and walked into th
"We will have to work together if you want information on Lawton," Logan said.This upsets Barry as he assumes Logan is trying to take advantage of him.Logan could tell Barry was angry as he looked at him, he knew he had to do something to convince him to join hands with him."I want to bring Lawton down too and I need a strong accomplice like you," Logan said."We can work together to destroy him," Logan added.Barry's expression softened as he listened to Logan, everything was starting to make sense to him.He was happy Lawton was their common enemy and the idea of joining hands with the strange man in front of him didn't look so bad.Barry was about to ask Logan how they would go about it when he suddenly remembered he didn't know anything about him."How am I sure I can trust you?" He said."You might stab me in the back?" Barry added."You can trust me," Logan said."I don't have any reason to betray you," he added.Barry was sceptical, as he still didn't trust him."How about w
Logan walks out of Barry's office happily, excited he had finally achieved his goals.He then decided to talk to Amanda as he knew this was going to make Lawton angry.He walked into the reception and asked Clara where Amanda's office was.Clara was angry as she heard Logan talk, wondering why he needed to see her."She's in the cafeteria," she said, continuing her work."Thank you," Logan said, as he walked into the cafeteria.He met Amanda who was still eating and sat beside her as she smiled."You are still here?" Amanda said, looking at him."How did your meeting go with Barry?" She asked."It went really well," Logan said, smiling at her."You should eat something, the food here is really nice," Amanda said."Okay," Logan said, calling out to a waitress.He ordered food as the waitress walked up to him, before starting a conversation with Amanda.Logan had been away after the incident at the warehouse because he needed to keep a low profile.He couldn't risk anyone finding out it
The ride home was silent as Amanda looked out of the car's window as Barry drove her home.Barry stopped the car as they got to Amanda's house."We are here," he said, breaking the silence."Thank you," Amanda said, as she got out of the car."See you tomorrow," Barry said, waving at her before driving off.Amanda walked into her house and was about to bring out the key to the house when the door suddenly opened."Lawton," Amanda said, as the door opened."You are home early," she added, smiling before walking into the house."Yes, I finished early at work today," Lawton said."I wanted to surprise you," Lawton said, as Amanda sat down in the living room."Can you smell anything?" Lawton said, smiling."Smell what?" Amanda said, as she stood up and started to walk towards the dining area."You cooked?" Amanda said as she smiled at the array of dishes arranged on the dining table."What is the occasion?" She asked as she looked at him."There's no occasion," Lawton said, as he carefull
The leader of the other gang opened his box and smiled as he brought out one of the sealed white powder and sniffed it.The content of the box Barry had given the gang was hard drugs.Barry trades hard drugs as a side hustle, he started the business two years ago when he was in desperate need of funding for his business.Barry did not want to ask his family for money and this led him to the illegal business.He used the money he got from the deal to fund his business and although his company had grown so much and he didn't need the money anymore, he still continued as it was now a hobby to him."Nice doing business with you Black," the gang leader said as he walked up to Barry, pleased with the deal.Black was Barry's nickname as he does not review his face or real name whenever he makes deals.Barry had been making deals with the gang leader for months now and they were now pretty carefree with each other.Barry finished counting the bundle of money in the box and passed it over to o
"Amanda," Lawton yelled as he repeatedly tapped her on the cheeks. Smithson who could hear their noises rushed towards where he could hear Lawton's voice to meet him. and Amanda on the floor. "What happened?" Smithson said as he saw an unconscious Amanda. "We should rush her to the hospital," he added. He then assisted Lawton in carrying Amanda and they both picked her up. They carried her into the car and Lawton entered the back seat with her while Smithson sat in the front seat with the driver. "Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately. The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency. Lawton carefully placed Amanda's head on his lap as he felt her pulse frequently. "Please hurry," Lawton who was feeling a mix of emotions said. "I found a hospital," Smithson said as he pointed towards a hospital on the other side of the road. "Drive-in," Smithson ordered. The driver immediately drove into the hospi
Peter gently placed his phone down on the table as he looked at Lawton."The papers?" Lawton asked, looking at the lawyer.The lawyer handed the papers to Lawton who placed them on Peter's table."Sign it," Lawton said gently.He then assured Peter his secret was safe with him as long as he signed the papers.Peter reluctantly picked up a pen and sighed the paper in front of him before handing it back to Lawton.Peter knew he could lose his position and his wife, losing the shares to the pharmaceutical company was a small loss compared to what was going to happen to him if his secret gets leaked.Lawton then brought out the cheque he had already written and carefully handed it to Peter.Peter gasped as he saw the amount of money in the cheque."Nice doing business with you," Lawton said, to Peter before standing up and walking out of his office with the lawyer.Amanda watched Lawton walk out of Peter's office and wondered if he was able to get Peter to sign the document."Did he sign
Lawton exchanged pleasantries with the lawyer and sat down.He then asked the lawyer if there was a way the company could be his own forever and the lawyer told him he had figured out a way."You own more than half the shares of the company," the lawyer said."It's almost impossible for him to take the company away from you but there's one thing we could do that guarantees that," the lawyer added.Lawton asked what it was and the lawyer brought out a document containing the remaining shareholders of the company.Most of them had little shares but there was a particular man who had the highest.The Lawyer then suggested they convince the man to sell his shares to them."If he sells his shares to you, you would not have to worry about anything," the lawyer said.Amanda and Lawton nodded in agreement as they both thought the idea was a good one.Smithson then informed Lawton what Barry was up to and told him they had to hurry."He rescheduled the meeting to tomorrow," Smithson said."Wha
Barry drove into his house and got out of the car.He walked inside and went straight into his room.Barry removed his clothes and took a shower before changing into a black hoodie and a mask.He had a drug deal that night but did not inform his men because he wanted to do it alone.Barry opened his safe and carefully arranged the packs of cocaine into a black bag before walking out of the room.He then got into his car and started to drive towards the venue.Barry reached the venue and saw the buyer who was already waiting for him before walking out the door.Barry looked around and saw that the buyer had no guards around him and saw this as a perfect opportunity to make more money.Barry needed a lot of money for his plan to get the company back to work.Barry moved closer to the man and they exchanged the bags in their hands.The man then started to walk back to his car when Barry suddenly turned on him and hit him with the bottom of his gun, snatching the bag of drugs he had earl
Amanda watched Lawton fight in awe as he couldn't believe he had gotten so good.She then smiled as she remembered his fight with Barry and realised his training must have helped him."You were amazing," she said, as she hugged him.She then walked back into the penthouse house with him and Smisthon as they were done training.Lawton showered as soon as they got inside the penthouse and joined Smithson and Amanda who were talking about Barry.They then all started to talk and time soon went by.It was soon seven pm.Barry was in his office thinking of how to get back at Lawton for how much he humiliated him.He had called his men who knew he was back to come meet him in his office.Barry fumed angrily as he looked at the time wondering why they had not arrived.He then heard a knock on the door and immediately knew they had arrived."Come in," Barry said.Four muscular men walked in and Barry immediately stood up and walked closer to them."Why are you late?" He asked angrily."I have
Amanda isn't surprised by this as she knew Lawton was going to say that after everything she had seen today."Where to?" Amanda asked.Lawton then told her he had just started to think about it and he had no idea.Lawton then asked her if she had any place she would like to live in mind as he had the money and could afford to buy an apartment anywhere."I have not thought of it," Amanda replied.Lawton and Amanda then spent hours deciding on where they could move to but still couldn't find a place.Amanda then suggested they get an agent who could help them find their dream home and Lawton agreed to this.Amanda and Lawton smiled as they were finally going to be free of the clutches of their landlady.Amanda asked Lawton if he was still going to go back to his job but Lawton told her he was not sure he was."We should take these upstairs," Amanda said, pointing at the shopping bags in front of Lawton."Thank you," she said, as they both shared a kiss.She then carried some of the shop
A middle-aged man was on a hospital bed typing on his laptop.It was no one but Chief Williams.He has been lying and pretending to be sick when he had been conscious the whole time.Chief Williams had been in the hospital planning several plots to attack Lawton which all later backfired.Chief Williams had just finished planning another devious attack when he suddenly heard footsteps.He then looked at the time and realised it was time for his lunch.He had lost track of time and he was about to get caught by the nurse.Chief Williams knew he could not let anyone know he was fully recovered or even close to being recovered.He needed to be at the hospital so no one would suspect him.He then quickly closed the laptop and carefully placed it under his pillow before lying down on the bed and closing his eyes.The nurse walked into Chief Williams' room and dropped the tray of food on a table beside him.The nurse then moved closer to him and started to feed him with the food she had bro
Amanda and Lawton changed into their nightwear quietly as Lawton sealed glances at her.Amanda walked out of the room as she finished and Lawton followed her.Amanda walked into the dining room and carried the food Lawton had earlier bought into the kitchen.She then microwaved it and served it on the dining table.She then asked Lawton who was sitting in the living room to come and eat as she knew he was hungry.Lawton stood up and joined her at the dining table and they both ate in silence.Amanda and Lawton soon finished eating and packed the plates into the kitchen together.Amanda washed the dishes in silence with Lawton who assisted her.Amanda walked out of the kitchen as she was done with the dishes and Lawton ran after her."Babe," he said, holding her."I know you are still upset," he continued."Please let's talk about this, I don't like it when you are mad at me," he added.Amanda then nodded her head in agreement and they both walked into the living room together.Amanda
Madame Willams's chef had prepared dessert as planned.She walked into the living room and informed Madame Williams who did not know what to say to her.Everything had turned upside down and Madame Williams knew nobody would want to have dessert."Don't serve dessert," Madame Williams said."Just go!" she added.Barry and his parents were still on their knees and this was not how Madame Williams pictured the meeting was going to go.Madame Williams continued to apologise to Lawton until he had no choice but to forgive them because of Amanda.He knew Amanda hated what was happening and was uncomfortable."It's fine," Lawton said."You can go," he added.Madame Clarissa then asked him if he was going to fire Barry and Lawton assured her he wasn't.Lady Clarissa stood up with her husband and Barry and walked out of the house in shame.Amanda had been quiet as Lawton had asked her not to interfere.Madame Willams who had been feeling guilty walked up to Lawton and Amanda and asked if they
