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
Good luck.Brian was surprised at the sight of what he saw when he got to Mr. Roberts's house, he thought it was a family reunion but judging from their dressing they looked like they came for business approval from the old man and they were all seated around a table as old as it was all coordinated before Mr. Robert, every one of them came with their cars; they were all the latest cars. Brian was confused "What could be the identity of the old one these are no ordinary people" he wondered."Welcome my son, have your seat here right beside me". He said tapping a seat close to him as he gave Brian a pleasant smile.Brian couldn't utter as he took his seat close to the old man."Yes as I was saying" Mr Robert continued."As you all know it's time for me to retire as I don't have much time left, yes! I don't have any family left but then I have a son. I'm sure that most of you would be surprised, well I call him my secret weapon and he will be in charge of everything I have."Brian watc
The blacklist.While they were all confused Brian smiled with his legs crossed, he took out his and directly called Bill Collins the corporation's president.His tone was full of arrogance as he ordered Bill to meet him in the lobby downstairs within three minutes.Brian's action made manager Henry Powell and the two front desk staff freeze in shock they looked at one another dumbfoundedly.They looked at Brain and how he was dressed, and marveled at his audacity.Then one of the women began to snicker. Soon the three of them started laughing at Brian.Henry was overjoyed at the foolishness of the young man and he couldn't control his laughter."You want to sell the boss a hundred properties?" I'll tell you what if you successfully sell the boss a hundred properties as you said, I'll kneel and lick your shoes in front of everyone".Brain's eyes widened in shock seeing how he was being underrated by everyone."Lick my shoe? That's extreme" Brian took a look at how torn and shabby his
The bad news Samantha was shocked, she gaped at Brian with her unshaped eyes. That was the first time in her memory that Brian had been angry enough to shout at her.Instantly a strong feeling of resentment rose in her heart."Brain, are you a man or not because you are beginning to think otherwise".She started throwing questions at him"How dare you be mean to me now !?""Have you ever stopped to think about why I might be doing this?" "Are you really foolish? Do you really think I would need to compromise myself like this if you had even the slightest bit of skills at your job? Was there a need to degrade me like this?" Samantha lamented soberly.Brain lowered his head in shame, he was well aware of how many times Samantha had taken the flak for him during the years he had been in the family.Hearing Samantha sobbing Brian's heart softened and his anger dissipated. He tried to reach out and hug her to comfort her but she pushed him away.'Don't touch me"! She barked.I'm really
