Jason fell back a step, steadying himself with the hand on the counter. From the corner of his eye, he saw the strange look that Morris had passed him.

"Shit, Logan. Are you sure?" Jason rubbed a hand over his mouth and left it there in shock.

"He was just in the office... I think you should come down here."

His cell phone pinged again. Jason took it down from his ear and read the message that had just come in.

Logan had just texted him the directions to Life Haven Hospital. He'd heard that name before, but Jason couldn't bother himself now with where he had come across it.

"Morris." Jason pocketed his phone and gave his friend a bro shake across the counter. "Think about what I've said. Something urgent came up, and I've got to run."

"Is everything okay?" He paused with mixing the cocktail, staring at him.

Jason knew what he meant. He wouldn't have come down here if he didn't have something on his mind bothering him.

"Yeah, I just earned a big paycheck. Nothing crazy, but I wa

    Jason brushed past the annoying guards, making a mental note to handle them later. He stopped at the front desk, angst."Where's Mr. Raymond?" He looked over his shoulder, tapping his fingers on the granite slabs. "I was told I would find him here.” The staff behind the desk gave Jason a once over. She immediately saw that he wasn’t the usual guest Life Haven was used to having. “Which Raymond, sir? Are you certain that you aren’t in the wrong location?” She began checking the system in front of her, like she wasn’t just trying to delay him.Impatiently, Jason said, “I’m here to see the General Manager of Maxe. What is his room number?”“Can I see your ID first? There are a few hospital procedures for visitors.”Jason slipped his identity card across to her. She took it, peering at it for a long minute.

    Jason was sure that he had heard that name before. He thought back to earlier at the Dapper House. The women who had been embarrassed by Ander, one of them was a consultant at…Howard Tech!“I’ve never heard of Howard Tech. Is their influence bigger than ours?”Raymond let out a smothering laugh. “They are dreamers, young master, but persistent ones. No one can ever beat Maxe. Not even in a hundred years.”“So why did the CEO of Howard Tech put you on that sick bed?” Jason removed his hand from his pocket to gesture. “It’s your health I’m most worried about, old man.”Logan excused himself from the room as they conversed. Jason didn’t know what that was about. It could only mean that this was a very delicate topic.“You just have to worry about getting married for now and leave the rest to me.”“I’m on track with that, but Raymond, you know I deserve to know, right?”Raymond grunted, looking away for a moment. He could see the reluctance on his face. This wasn’t information he wanted to

    Jason couldn't believe that he had stepped on puke. More so, in a place like the Life Haven hospital!It was the most influential hospital in the city. Yet, look at the poor treatment he had just received. A staff in a pink attire rushed over. She was accompanied by a train of three nurses, all appeared apologetic."Sir! Please forgive us!" The staff who was the janitor responded, his knees wobbled in fear. "I had to use the bathroom when they called the emergency." A nurse butted in. "It was a cancer patient who caused the mess about five minutes ago. We are so sorry, sir."Jason listened to all their apologies, but his eyes remained fixed on his shoes. They were soaked, touching his bare foot because the leather was of poor quality. Logan said, "We will sue Life Haven for this embarrassment!"“No! Sir, please! You can’t do that!” All of them begged much louder, the janitor had even broken into tears in fear of losing his job."Leave it. No legal actions, Logan. I need to use the b

    The woman's five inch heels clapped loudly on the tiled ground. Her skin was flawless, though it was clear she had aged a lot. Her presence was enough to stop time. Everyone forgot themselves while watching her approach, including Jason. He had never seen this face before, but no one had to tell him she was money. It screamed all around her. "Director Lancaster," the woman nodded once, checking her rolex watch, "Are you busy with something now? I have much to discuss with you." She didn't spare Jason and Mila or the rest of the staff a glance. Her eyes pinned on Lancaster alone. The man stammered. "Mrs. Clarke!" His head lowered as he fumbled with his hands. "Have I kept you waiting for long? Forgive me if that was the case." Jason heard her name and really looked at her. Things had just gotten interesting. He wouldn't be surprised if she belonged to the family Logan had spoken about. "You are forgiven. Let's discuss the surgery procedure for my husband now. I didn't like a fe

    Mila tugged at Jason's pants, beckoning him to just stop. These people appeared dangerous and influential. She didn't think they would be as lucky as the last time with those loan sharks. "What do you even know about what you're asking me to do, old lady?" Jason smirked mockingly at the woman. She didn't relent from her arrogance. "Do you have any idea who I am? If you did have an idea, you'd shut your stinking mouth and do as you're told." "I see. You are no longer in need of your translator?" Jason raised a brow at the uncomfortable director, who was in the middle of the scene. "A smart mouth won't save you, boy, because when I'm done with you—" "But you didn't care to ask me who I was?" Jason stopped her short. "That's easy. You and your girlfriend are nobodies. Gutter trash." She spared a sweet, wrinkled smile that not even her botox could hide. "But now that I'm feeling generous.

"How—How am I supposed to do that?""Don't worry about that part. You just have to do exactly as I say."Jason swiped a pen and paper from the other end of the desk to himself. He began penning down punishments for every one of them who had belittled him today.He listed their names and detailed how the revenge plan would go down to the last. When he finished, he folded the paper in half, pressing his fingers down on the new edge."Study it. I'll be right back."
