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
Brian decided to excuse himself and call Albert first. He was quite confused by the urgency of the message, and he wanted more clarification. With each passing minute, it seemed like he was running out of time, but what was he supposed to do? While Lyra was still giving her speech, he walked over to the restroom. As soon as he got there, his phone suddenly started ringing. “Frank?” he mumbled as he stared at his phone screen, surprised that he was calling by this hour. “Mr Duke, it's been a while.” Frank said softly as soon as Brian picked up. “How have you been? I heard you were able to clear your name. I'm glad.” he added, making Brian smile. “Frank, thanks for your help. I should have called but…”“No, it's okay.” Frank hurriedly said, “I understand you, Mr Duke. I understand you've been busy with work and everything. Actually, I called to give you some good news.” Brian's eyes softened as he heard Frank's words, his heart filled with warmth. Just like Albert, Frank was also qui
Harry returned back to the event after calming himself with some cigarettes. After all, his date, the lady he came with was still inside. As he walked past the restroom, he happened to hear Brian's voice as he was seriously talking to someone. His eyes narrowed, curious to hear what he was fussing about. Harry strode in gently, trying to remain unnoticed. Brian felt something snap inside him as he heard Albert's words. “Albert, what did you just say?” he asked, his voice trembling slightly. Didn't he say he saw the staff with his father? Why was he saying something completely different? Albert sighed, “Master, the first day your father got sick was the last day I saw the staff. Since I didn't know the importance, I didn't ask him where or why he kept it.” he said, slightly disappointed at himself. If he had known the staff was very important, he would have searched for it before Brian became the CEO. Perhaps Brian's father thought he was going to give Brian the staff personally,
After the Queen's night event, Harry watched as Lyra and Brian walked hand in hand, a smirk etched on his perfect features. Perhaps coming to the Queen’s night wasn't really a bad idea. Now that he had found out about one of Brian's numerous secrets, he was going to use this opportunity well. Becoming a leader of the Tycoon 6 was not a regular thing. Each member controls a large amount of wealth, in trillions of dollars. Tycoon 6, the coming together of six most powerful men in the country, and Brian was among? Isn't he a child compared to members? Even if they would respect him because his father was the past leader, that didn't mean Brian deserved to be the current leader. Harry chuckled darkly, his eyes filled with amusement. He was amused that a young man like Brian was dreaming of something so big and impossible. “He must be stupid.” he muttered below his breath, his voice dripping with disdain. However, he heard something like ‘the mysterious person behind the messages’. W
