"Harlan go easy on him," he opened up his eyes and looked up at Warren with amusement.The only thing that could save him now was that the earth could open up and swallow him up, only then could he be sure that his deriding treatment wouldn't be divulged to get hind at him.Ernie set himself forward out of the door and took a step towards them.Ernie figured he had two choices: one he could be afraid of embarrassment at that moment or lose his lifelong project if Warren was someone higher than Harlan. Of course, he was. He couldn't laugh at his situation. Things couldn't look any worse right?"Is he someone higher than you, Lord Harlan?" He said in a worried and suspicious tone."Well… I'm no expert but I think the first rule I will draw down here is to be quiet about everything and get a space."Warren was scared Sawyer could bump out at any moment since this project is a combined work and will ruin things with her, the marriage he's spent a lot to defend.The man's face flushed and
Sawyer felt everything strange, her eyes wandered around the room, skimming in the extravagant design of the room and to the table.Warren … could he be a mysteriously rich young man? The last time he brought an expensive wine for her parent, so she stopped and accepted the wine Warren offered her. She’s still pale.“I didn’t mean to startle you.”Warren knowing exactly what was going through her head and where the question came from defended himself.Sawyer's phone rang seconds later. And she bounced off the call and focused on the dinner.At least Warren has taste and that is a good thing to depict him of his worth.“Don’t get me wrong I got my first pay today so I decided to have at least a first proper meal with you.”Warren filled her curiosity, although, with a tilt of her brow, she wasn’t satisfied with the whole explanation, even though she got the job for him and told him that the pay was enough it could pay up their rent she didn’t say a day pay will afford such an expensive
Not too long into the day, Warren got a call, he peeled off the hand glove from his hand and accepted the call.“Warren! Looking forward to seeing you, remember your crush, Percy, I called her and she said she would be there.”Warren dropped the phone and Ernie walked up to him. “You don’t have to keep an eye on me anymore, Boss, I passed the inspection.” He said proudly.Warren lifted his head and stared around the warehouse.He blinked. God, he was such a lightweight. He used to follow his colleagues blindly. Now he was struck with the reality of the call. It was fine that he hit him up but there was never a day that the school reunion was discussed and while at it, he disguised to fit in. But still, he don't get why he didn't tell him it was a school reunion.“You can skip at any time.” He urged Warren.Warren grabbed his coat from the hanger.He stepped outside and noticed the snow falling, he rushed to board a cab. After some hours of driving the cab stopped in front of Giovanni,
The buzzes on their phone made them gape in extreme shock. Realization hit them.“What! How could Giovanni raise the charter by fifteenfold? There must be something wrong with them. I’d say it’s a buzz because we paid the full amount.” one of them reasoned.Warren didn’t give them the chance to listen to his explanation; he just turned and headed to his house.They never suspected him. Even the suspect they had was just a mesh of their hatred towards him.“Hey, loser! Your word might meet confidence but don’t think you’ve worth it.”Warren instead smirked at the hesitations in their voice, had he been a loser they would have worn but the fulfilment he got from them serving right what they deserved. He gave them a taunting grin.“Knockoffs like you should be stuck paying your debts.”Warren grabbed his phone from his pocket and locked eyes on the screen as a teasing glint appeared on his face. Shortly after security scouted them back inside without a single consideration of their class
Warren removed his jacket and placed it over Sawyer's shoulder.Sawyer was still crying in pain and disappointment, her mood getting worse by the minute.Warren trudged her shoulder, “This is not the end of the world, don’t ruin yourself over it.”She turned to face Warren, and she said a little too defensively. “Why shouldn’t I worry? Grandpa made me look less of myself.” Sawyer grabbed her bag and followed after Warren.“Don’t worry I will take you home.”Sawyer was shaking and unable to drive them back to their house. Warren collected the car key from her hand.When they reached the house, Warren helped Sawyer to her room. “Don’t cry your eyes out, the project will find its way back to you in no time.”Sawyer smiles softly at Warren's reassuring words and then walks to her door, Warren's anger is in let. Maybe there is a logical explanation as to why she felt this way.Sawyer wept out, her cries were as clear as the sound of tap water running through. She took a deep breath trying
The flashy car and the light that decorated the Lance family mansion indicated they were on the verge of exploring In the excitement and maybe striking some deal with the Lance family group since they are the sought-after conglomerate in town.Warren, on the other hand, dressed in a nice suit, walked alongside Sawyer. Her white dress emanated a hurt beauty walking side by side with Warren.She wasn’t ready to let things fall swiftly, she considered a protest. Maybe some of the prestigious family present will see her point and point their fingers at Uncle Jake.“Sawyer, you’re here, I’m so delighted you didn’t turn down my offer.”Warren rolled his eyes at Uncle Jake's charade, he knew more than anyone what Gods know he ranted behind her back.“Uncle Jake I will have to use the restroom if you don’t mind.”Sawyer vanished into thin air. Uncle Jake's face turned red the moment Sawyer disappeared and Warren gave him a piercing gaze.The guests present were all holding a glass of red wine
“What is going on with him?” The onlookers gaped.“Let me be specific with you, how dare you walk up the podium! Someone should take him away.”Grandfather Oliver was sure about this, he didn’t want anyone to see him as an easy man, if he displayed any weakness now all the prestigious families would be scared of losing their share.Teaching Warren a lowly commoner a lesson of his life will be a perfect way to incorporate fear into everyone.“Please don’t get the wrong idea Grandpa, I am only here to . . .”Harlan out of nowhere interjected. “I sent him to inform you that I will be coming late, if you will allow he’s only acting on my order.”Warren smudged his face and everyone's tension died down in a hassle.He then moved back, Harlan walked up the podium, and everyone gaped at his luxurious lifestyle, his suits were from the best designers overseas, and his wristwatch binged brightly as he folded up his sleeves and held the table.“Mr Harlan I didn’t expect you to show up, it was j
Immediately Grandfather Oliver Lance jogged to meet them.He snatched Jake's hand from grasping Sawyer.“Get your filthy hand off her.” He gripped.Jake knew more than anyone how enraged his father was, but that didn’t mean he would be humiliated too. Just a few hours ago he was so full of himself that he’d struck a great deal and accomplished his dream of becoming the manager of the Lance family group with the support of his father.“I’m sorry Father, I wanted to bring her to you.”"Shut up this instant!"Oliver Lance wasted no time in slapping Jake across the face. With his face plunged down another slap swept across his face“Sawyer, you have done a great deal by striking the deal with the Welsh group how about you finish what you started.”Warren smirked at Oliver Lance's tactful approach. The man should be in politics and not a business with this kind tactful personality of his, he’d prosper very well.Meanwhile Sawyer on the other hand looked at the three men from one eye to ano
