Kaiden could sense a threat from Brian's words, and he was suddenly frightened. Kaiden was completely speechless as he didn't know the response to give Brian. He valued the two options, but Brian didn't seem to care. Brian scoffed, “Mr Walker, please leave this company. I've had enough.” His voice was extremely cold and frightening, sending shivers down Kaiden's spine. “Mr Duke,” he began, his voice wavering slightly, “Please have mercy. Rene is deeply sorry.” he added, and Brian's gaze landed on Rene who seemed unconcerned, “No, she isn't. She's not even willing to accept she was wrong. That's the greatest of them all, Mr Walker. She's a spoiled brat.” he spat. Kaiden dragged Rene and forced her to kneel, “Rene, tell him you're sorry. Your future depends on this. If other companies should hear that you got rejected by the Duke's Empire after getting accepted, no one would want you as an intern.” He warned. Rene's eyes widened in surprise as she had a long time accepting the truth.
Brian made a mental note to keep it at the back of his mind, but now, he was going to spend some time with Lyra. Upon reaching his home, Lyra stood outside, looking as pretty as a lovely flower. Brian's heart skips a beat anytime he sets his eyes on Lyra, and sometimes, he's even rendered speechless by her bewitching beauty. Lyra approached him and hugged him, taking his scent in. “How was work today?” she asked, and Brian nodded, “Quite stressful, but okay.” he said as they walked inside together, their hands wrapped around each other. Getting inside, Lyra was quick to get Brian a glass of water, and offered to massage his shoulder. Brian was stunned for a minute. “What's with this treatment?” he asked, a smile plastered on his face as he stared at Lyra. Lyra blushed furiously and said, “Brian, I need a favor from you.” Brian chuckled, “So you gave me a glass of water in return for a favor?” he asked, tilting his head slightly. Lyra shook her head, stunned by Brian's question. See
Brian chuckled at the boldness of the sales assistant to hold him that way. Even if she didn't really know who he was, she wasn't supposed to treat a customer this way. He gave her an icy glare, “Take your hand off.” His voice was low and menacing, sending shivers down the young lady's spine. Immediately, she released his hands and apologized, “I'm sorry, sir. However, you can't purchase this dress. Please pick another or leave our mall.” she said politely, even when she was indirectly insulting him. Dumbfounded that the young lady asked him to leave the mall, Brian became enraged. All he wanted was to purchase a dress, and this sales assistant had the guts to humiliate him this way? Ever since he started shopping, Brian had never encountered something like this. If the dress was off the market, why place it on display? The dress was still there because they were still looking for a potential buyer. Why then was the sales assistant proving stubborn?At the same time, another lady ap
Sonia smirked, a smile coming to settle on her face as she stared at Brian as she wondered what he was trying to do. Brian ignored her and waited for about five minutes. After exactly five minutes, a young lady clad in a classy gown walked down the stairs, her hair packed in a messy bun. Helena's steps were quick, but dignified; and a frown was etched on her soft features. Earlier, she was seated calmly in her office, happily going through some files in deafening silence; but Albert's call shattered the silence. Helena was shocked to see an unknown number calling her, and it took her some time to pick it up. At the same time, before she picked up the call, her assistant barged in, concern evident in his eyes. “Miss Helena, there's a big problem.” he said urgently, and Helena placed her hands on her lips, indicating for him to keep quiet. Albert's voice rang out, “Miss Helena, this is Albert from the Dukes Empire. I'm afraid a very important person, the CEO of the Dukes Empire,
Sonia planned to leave the mall immediately, as she had lied to the sales assistant and everyone at the mall. Close with Helene? She? A person with no unique status? Sonia simply threatened the young girls to make her do whatever she wanted at the mall, and this wasn't the first time she would be trying that kind of thing. Sonia paused, her eyes widening in terror as Brian's authoritative voice scared the shit out of her. However, she decided to feign ignorance and blame it all on the sales assistant. Moreover, the young man might have no unique status. He might only be acquainted with Helena, why then was she suddenly afraid of him? Sonia smirked as her gaze landed on Brian, “What do you mean?!” she snapped. “Just who do you think you are?! Because you called the owner of the mall outside, you think you can act high and mighty now?!”Brian smirked, and before Sonia could utter another word, Helena delivered a resounding slap across her face, causing her to stagger slightly. The sal
Matilda's face was as pale as a blank sheet, and Sonia wasn't in a good condition either. Matilda raised her head slightly, her lips trembling as she stuttered. ”Mr…Mr..Duke, please spare me.” her voice was shaky, indicating the fear in her heart. How could she, a lowly sales assistant insult and humiliate such a well respected person? Matilda shook her head, wondering why she made such a deadly mistake. Her gaze landed on Sonia, the cause of it all. With her fists clenched by her sides, she badly felt like slapping Sonia. Why would she implicate her in this kind of way?! First she lied about her identity, and now she made her insult the owner of the Dukes Empire. Matilda sighed, turning to Helena, her boss, “Ma'am, ma'am, please spare me. I didn't know he was Mr Duke.” she whispered softly, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. If she had known that Brian wasn't bragging when he made a phone call, she would have asked him to purchase the dress and leave; but now, she was already
Few weeks later,The Queens night event was finally here. A man with an impressive aura could be seen seated on a couch, clad in a dashing black and red suit. Brian's brown silky hair was combed to the back, revealing his stunning features; and his piercing blue eyes were even more evident. A smile was etched on his features as he saw Lyra walk down the stairs, her hair styled in a messy bun. Lyra’s cheeks heated up under Brian's intense gaze, a shy smile spreading on her plump lips. Lyra’s make up was natural, and simple; and she was even more beautiful. “You look stunning.” Brian breathed, enchanted by Lyra’s bewitching beauty. Brian was glad he was able to purchase the dress, as she looked exceptionally gorgeous in it. Her curves were accentuated, and her thighs were slightly exposed. Brian's eyes traveled across her body, and Lyra grinned, “You look as dashing as always.” she said softly, taking Brian's hands in hers as they walked out of the house.Few minutes later, Brian and
“Let go of me!” Martin snapped as he glared angrily at Tyla, who turned red in embarrassment. “Brian, you think you can act high and mighty now? Just because of your mere position?!” he seethed, his eyes blazing with fury. Everything about Brian angered him to death, and he badly felt like destroying him immediately. Brian sighed, obviously not in the mood for another banter. “Lyra, let's leave this place, shall we? I wouldn't want our perfect night to be interrupted by some unwanted pests.” he smirked as he pulled Lyra's hands and walked away. Lyra chuckled softly at her husband's words, “You sure know how to stir up the anger boiling in Martin and Tyla.” “I never intended to. Now that Martin has his position back, I can tell he's going to frustrate me to death. Don't you think he should be taught a lesson?” he asked as he tilted his head, “Martin Scott, Just because of a few shares and a small title, he thinks he can just talk to me anyhow. Well let's see about that.” he muttered
