Hearing Tory's words, Scott began to glance around the place to see if the man was coming. He really wanted to meet this person that has been claiming to be the one that has been paying his bill. He really wanted to meet this person and find out if it was someone he knew back home."What's wrong?" Tory asked, noticing Scott's eyes kept moving around the restaurant like he was searching for someone."Oh, nothing is wrong, just lokoking for the waiter." Scott lied with a nervous smile."But the waiter is right beside you." Tory responded with a confused expression. Hearing Tory's words, Scott shifted his gaze sideways, and there the waiter was, standing beside him."Oh..i didn't realize." Scott laughed nervously before placing his order and the waiter left."Scott, i still think you shouldn't have done that. I'm sure you must have needed the money to do something else instead of just showing off." Tory remarked with a concerned look for her friend."It's all good, Tory. Let's just enjoy
"Yes, Scott, we are getting married." Tory informed, joy evident in her voice as she stretched her hand towards Scott, making him catch a glimpse of an expensive diamond ring on her finger.Scott became speechless. The whole thing was too sudden for him.He still doesn't know who this Theo dude was or if he could be trusted, so he felt troubled realizing his bestfriend was getting married to a liar.'This man definitely knows who i am.' Scott pondered, glaring at Theo who was busy talking and laughing with Theo.Each time Scott wanted to make a transfer to the hospital to pay Tory's mother's bills, he calls Sandro to inform the accountant to send a certain amount.'It's either Sandro or someone from the company informed Theo, and now he's here on an agenda that i have no clue what it is.' Scott pondered.Only few people in the company knows about the transfers, and that was his right hand man, Sandro Walker, and the accounting department. Scott has never saw Scott in his whole life,
Somewhere in the city, the city's hospital was located.The hospital's exterior is a blend of modern architecture and classic design, with towering glass walls reflecting the city skyline. The entrance is adorned with a canopy of soft, warm light, guiding both patients and visitors. Ambulance lights cast flashes of red and white across the entrance, emphasizing urgency.Inside, the spacious lobby exudes tranquility, with comfortable seating and soothing artwork on the walls. The hum of activity is palpable as nurses, clad in pristine white uniforms, move with practiced grace. The soft glow from computer screens illuminates their faces as they coordinate patient care.From a distance, you can spot dedicated medical professionals working in different departments through the windows – from the busy emergency room to the serene patient rooms. The night air carries a mix of antiseptic smells and distant city sounds, creating a unique atmosphere that signifies both healing and resilience.I
The hospital's reception fell silent after hearing Jordan's explanation, until Perez broke the silence with a question."What do you mean set her up? If thet are working together, why would he want to set her up?" Perez questioned, standing infront of the duo with his two arms folded."Okay, here's my theory. Everyone knows that girl, Marie, lives in the small corner of Sunshade sreeet. No one has ever made a complain about her about her being violent or disappearing for some days." Jordan spoke in an aubible tone."But recently, a thug was killed in the corner she lived in and she went missing thesame day the blood was found. What i'm saying is, what if she isn't the one who actually killed the thug, but just happened to be there at that time?""The main killer must have panicked that if he should leave without her, she would definitely go to the cop to report since she witnessed everything and also saw his face. So he had no choice than to take her along.""And later on, when the ma
Scott took a cab that took him straight to the hospital. The time was 11:24pm, almost time for gangs to start roaming about, so he made sure his movements were quick and swift to avoid any gang member.After several minutes of driving, the cab finally pulled over infront of the huge hospital and he ailighted it and payed the bills. He advanced forward and headed straight to the entrance door, but halted his steps as he thought.'What if the cops are stil in there?' Scott pondered, glancing around the quiet compound until he spotted a single cop car there. 'Hmm..a single car, meaning there is either one or two officers in there.' Scott intoned, pushing the door open as he stepped in and found himself in the lobby.'There's nothing to be worried about. Even if the cops sees me, they can't tell i'm somehow involved in the case they are currently working on.' Scott pondered as he walked towards a counter where a lady could be seen sitting behind.The lady looked to be in her early twenti
Scott gulped after hearing Jordan's words. He had expected Marie to be the type of girl with no background and anyone would believe anything he made up, but it turns out Marie has quite the record, and Jordan already got hold of the record."Oh, that's because Marie's mother divorced my father when Marie was still a young child, so it's possible her mother erased everytying about my dad from her life, that's why it's not stated in the record." Scott replied, trying hard to hide his tensed expression.Jordan remained in silence, rubbing his chin in contemplation. "Well, you are still her brother, and i'm truly sorry for shooting her." Jordan apologized once more."It's fine, don't worry. Marie is a strong girl, she'll definitely pull through." Scott assured with a slight smile.The duo rested their backs on the wall, their arms folded, and their heads facing the ceiling in silence. Scott was looking for a way to ask about the investigation without being too obvious, but all his thought
Being asked to come over in short notice came as a surprise to Scott. Even if he already cracked thr case and got evidence, he didn't expect Mr. Fernando to invite him over so soon.He gave him 10 days to figure it out and it's barely even day three."Oh, yeah, i'll be there." Scott muttered resentfully before hanging up and tossing his phone to his bed.'I wonder what's happening in 10stars hotel tomorrow that he needs me there. Did he plan on humiliating me infront of his whole family and friends, and maybe infront of other wealthy men in the hotel?' Scott pondered as he couldn't quite grasp what was going on.He didn't thinl about it too much as he laid down on his bed and slept off instantly due to how exhausted he was.***The morning sun rose up, and the rays flicked in through the windows and shone brightly into the eyes of Scott.Scott's eyelids began to lift open as he rose up sluggishly and let out a loud yawn while stretching his body. Even if Scott had a lot going on in his
"What the hell is Domingo doing? We get he's angry, but why resort to actual violence?"A female worker muttered in surprise. It was okay to insult Scott and call him names, but strange if he gets beaten up."I think that trash deserves it. Who is he to talk back at Domingo?"A man with no hair on his head uttered gleefully as he watched Domingo charged towards Scott with clenched fists."I will teach you bastard a valuable lesson!" Domingo roared in anger, pulling his right arm backwards and punching his fists forward towards Scott's head.The fist traveled towards his head at incredible speed due to the force applied to it while punching it out. In the last second, Scott moved his head slightly, and Domingo's fist missed him by hair length.Thr fist kept traveling forward due to the immense force behind it, giving Scott the opportunity to clench his fist and send out a punch of his own."Argh!" Domingo groaned in pain as Scott's fist slammed heavily on his right cheek, and the forc
