STILL IN LOVE“I'm glad to hear it”, said Brian. “If you'll excuse me”.With that, he walked over to the backstage door. He was determined to see Brandy, and Ross had held him up long enough.He could hear the sound of television through her door, it sounded like a cartoon and you could hear her laughing loudly at it. He Knocked several times before she heard him. “Come in, She shouted once she finally heard his knocking. “Ohh, it's you. Hello”.She walked over and gave him a huge bear hug.She squeezed him so hard he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said eventually. “Are you trying to kill me?” It took him a moment or two to disentangle himself from her grip.“You never change, do you?” He said, his words full of affection.He always spoke to her with the affection of an older brother talking to his favorite sister. Annoyed, Brandy pounded him on the chest.Always hoped that Brandy would stay as innocent as a child, but that was never going to be the case.Uncle Sam had already to
OUTBURST Laura looked up from her plate of eggs and watched her sister confused. She glanced at Brian, who shrug. “I don't know exactly what's bothering her, but I can guess” he thought. “But I don't wanna talk to Laura about the whole situation with Brandy.That's too much to get into this morning”. “Hey, sis.Did you forget that Brian and I were going out for a fun day today? You should come along.Change your clothes. I'm gonna leave right after breakfast”. “No thanks”, Samantha replied. “I have some important things I need to get done today|”. “Is there anything more?Important than.Quality family time”.Samantha stood up. “You've got Brian, you don't need me”. She left the kitchen.And they heard her bedroom door closed a few seconds later. Gary Wandered into the kitchen, still half asleep.He looked from Laura to Brian. “Where's Samantha?” He asked. “I thought I heard her voice”. “Well, she's not here”, Laura said. “She's having a hissy fit or something”. “Come on Brian, let's
CHAOS Brian smiled at her but did not comment.The shop manager returned in short order with a Gray scarf draped across his arms. “Go on, Brian, Laura said. “Try it on and see what you think”.She lifted her hand, but the manager turned and held the scarf out of reach. “What?” She asked. “ Aren't you going to let us see it before we buy it?” The manager replied. “You've already seen and handled the other one.Isn't that enough?Except for the color, the two scarves are identical. Come up to the register and I'll get you checked out”.He smiled arrogantly. “They Caused the most trouble”, he thought. “They really need to put their grubby hands all over a genuine branded cashmere scarf.The rich ladies who come in here just point at what they want, pay the bill and leave without any fuss”. Laura's eyes flashed with anger. “Is that how you do business?” She asked. “If you don't try on clothing.How will you know if you like it or not?Maybe we won't like the feel of it.But we won't know until
THE MANAGERBrian tilted his head thoughtfully “Ross? he asked.“you're not talking about Ross Gilmore, are you? the same guy I had a little chat with yesterday” he thought.“I think I left quite an impression on him”.“ you know Ross Gilmore?” the manager asked. “You could say that” the manager was surprised but then he saw Laura’s panicked expression clearly showed she had also heard of Ross or at least she knew of his reputation.“that's right,” he said “My shop is under Ross Gilmore’s protection so if you two both get down on your knees and beg for mercy I’ll consider asking for less compensation, otherwise you'll have to beg Ross for mercy” “and at this point, the compensation is the secondary”. he thought. just look how pretty that girl is, Ross, is going to be very happy when he sees her”. many people in the crowd had also heard of Ross and his reputation as a local thug they were not surprised that someone as Petty and nasty as the owner of this store had someone as vici
JELOUSYRoss shoved him aside. “You want me to give you another chance? “If I keep providing protection for you and your store, how am I going to explain that to Mr. Maxwell when he finds out? it's best for you to just shut the whole store down at this point, otherwise, next time He comes here, he's going to be offended that you're still here, and then you don't want to offend Mr. Maxwell”. He said to the manager. “I'd laugh if anyone else said that. But if it's what Ross thinks is best that would only mean I'm done for it wasn't easy to get to this point. I thought with Ross providing protection, I could do whatever I wanted. I never thought I would offend someone that even Ross is afraid of”. Ross just looked down at him, “Let me give you one last piece of advice”. He said, “try to be a good person from now on if you know what is good for you”After leaving them all, Laura was in no mood to continue their day out, so she and Brian got in the car to head home.Laura was clearly p
The house boy"It's after five" Samantha should be home by now" Walking down the hallway Brian reached out for his cell phone just to put a call through to her, he tried a few times but there was no answer."Maybe she's still got work to do," he said to himself.Getting closer to the room he heard the sound of the TV, he took a deep breath, adjusted his shirt, and entered."Welcome home babe" Brian grinned at his wife Samantha sitting on the couch in front of him, Samantha lifted her hands and politely waved. Staring at Samantha's bright eyes and luscious lips, Brian thought to himself " I still get butterflies anytime I look at her. Samantha's beauty is undeniable but that's not why I love her. She's the most driven woman I've ever met, I mean just in a few years alone she had worked her way up from the assistant to being the boss herself she's just so wonderful."Hey Briannnn" a woman can only be described as basic chimed, Brian's thoughts evaporated as he nodded to his wife's
The ultimatum"Damn!! I'm late for work. Hey old one I'll finish this up after work you should go home now the weather isn't good for your health" The old man nodded in response. He watched Brian as he ran off to work and smiled. Brain prefers to call Mr. Robert the old one since he's very old and still does most of the cleaning in the neighborhood, he would pick around till he's tired and he doesn't skip a day. Brian couldn't take it he wondered how an old man would take it upon himself to clean the neighborhood when he's not being paid so before going to work, he would stop to help the old man with everything he treats him like his grandpa they both play and joke a lot they had grew to like each other so well.Brian straightened his tie and brushed his hand down at the front of his suit before pushing open the door of the business director's office at the clair group."How many times have I told you to knock on the door before you come in!" " how hard is it to remember hun?" snapp
My wife!When everyone heard the most impossible task on Brian's hands they began to look at one another dumbfoundedly, although they knew that Edward was determined to get rid of Brian they never expected him to be so ruthless by demanding the young man to sell one hundred properties in less than twenty-four hours.The most property that the company has ever sold was a combined effort among the entire staff to sell sixty-nine properties and it took them three weeks so selling a hundred in a day was an unrealistic goal.Soon enough news of the challenge spread and everyone was talking about it, Samantha couldn't help but step out of her office. Although she knew that Edward was deliberately making things difficult for her husband and she didn't like it, she still greeted her sales manager with a forced smile."Mr. Edward ain't you being a little impractical? She asked."Do you think those numbers are actually…….""Don't say anything director Samantha" Edward interrupted coldly."It w
