He had the impression that he was trapped in a bad dream with no way out. In his living room, he paced back and forth, attempting to make sense of it all. But his confusion increased with further reflection. He heard the door open at that very moment, and his wife Matilda entered with a worried expression on her face. "What's going on, Leonard ? I noticed the police vehicles outside."Leonard 's gaze met hers as he looked for clarification. "Matilda , we need to talk." She set down her suitcase and approached him, concern shining in her eyes. "What is it?" Leonard inhaled deeply as he searched for the appropriate words. "In Gigi 's backpack, the cops discovered a gun. And it's owned by a detective by the name of Danny .""Oh Detective Danny , such a good man." She mentioned with a smile on her face, leaving Leonard in shock."I am talking about a man's gun in our bedroom with his Id card. What are you talking about?" Leonard questioned."Hey listen to me, I don't like it wh
"I'm sure that he must be feeling so sad right now, should I spite things up by going to his office to celebrate this victory with him? He might find out that I'm the one that stole that brown envelope but who cares? He'll learn not to ever mess with me again" I soliloquied as I lied down in my bed scrolling through my phone.I was about to call my girls when my father strolled in to my room in all smiles, he was looking so handsome in his blue fitted two piece Armani suit and a black leather shoe."Good morning, off to work, daddy?"I asked string at him and he smiled."Yes, dear. I have some things to settle in office" he muttered as he checked his wrist watch, I can never understand this man. I feel bad about what I did because I realized that this business plan is a great one for it to make my father as successful as this, it would have made Leonard more successful and he would have been pulled out of this mess his company is in, I'm sure that he'll never forgive me if he finds
I didn't think I'd get lost in the streets of Los Angeles. I looked everywhere for a way to get to this place. I was distracted by the man's words and neglected to take a photo of the building. I walked back a little and heard a faint scream coming from the tunnel. I thought about going ahead for a moment, but then the male voice that followed told me something was wrong. I ran towards the tunnel and found a group of boys assaulting an innocent young woman. She was intimidated by their presence, and their fear fuelled her. “Get your hands off her!” Everyone stopped and looked in my direction. “So who are you to tell us what to do?” asked one of the gang members. I assumed the man was the leader. The tattoo on the right side of his hand confirmed what I already knew: they were a gang. “Listen, I don’t want to smoke with any of y
When I came out of the secret room, I noticed that she was concentrating on her phone until I called her name. She then looked up at me and smiled. "You spent hours there," she said, as the other boys also left the room. "I had to do something," I replied. "I also noticed someone screaming in there. What was that? I stared at her for a while, trying to gather myself. "Maybe it's coming from the wrong room. I mean, look around, this company has a few rooms. Come on, let's go to my office." I offered my arm and she took it and we walked down the hallway until we reached my office. The moment the door opened, a very familiar face sat next to the couch and a large cigar box was on the table. "A Jew! I frowned when I saw him, but he knew it right away the moment he saw Skyler behind me." “Who is this fat bitch next to you?” I hea
He glared at me and I stood there waiting for him to apologize but instead he walked past me still talking on phone with whoever he might be communicating with. I just lost my patience and whatever respect I had, if he had at least bumped into someone, he should apologize for what he had done. "Young man." I yelled as I ran to him dragging him by his cloth back to me causing murmurs in the store.Everyone's attention was now focused on us. "How dare you! You bumped into me, wasted my food and smoothie and you couldn’t even apologize or do something to amend whatever you just did.” I yelled at him.It was enough that I was frustrated already but I can’t let one guy ruin my mood completely, it’ll be completely unfair, ahhhh. He stared at me for a while, his expression cold and with no remorse, “Cat got your tongue.” I frowned. "So how much do you need for me to compensate you? It was just food right? I didn’t hit you with my car or anything?" He asked which caught me off guard. Who
"What?" We both yelled in unison, anger written all over my face.My sis was busy talking to dad in annoyance but I have heard enough of them, “Enough!” I shout. I faced Leonard , “Why will you say you want me? I’m not a tool, I’m human and you heard them when they said Sarah is the one to get married to you, I don’t want you and it’s simple.” His parents stood up, “We’ll prepare for the wedding, try to talk to your daughter.” And with that they left leaving the guy, he looked at me and stood up. “I don’t want to chose you as much as you don’t want me. But wouldn’t you be a perfect negotiating partner for the stock they wanted.” He smirked, Sarah stopped complaining and stared in shock before he went out. “What’s going on here?” I faced them, Sarah did same. Mom explained the company is facing crisis and they had no choice but to create a wedding alliance with his family and since Sarah loved him, they decided to marry her off to him. But now that he chose me then I have no choi
The meeting day fast approached, and both Leonard and Matilda got ready earlier than the meeting time. The previous day, Leonard had mentioned that they would need to discuss a couple of things as touching their faux relationship. Matilda gave herself one last look over before leaving for Leonard 's room. She took one long breath before knocking on his door which opened effortlessly. Leonard 's back was turned to her when she walked in, his fingers fastening his wristwatch. Matilda 's gaze lingered on the broad expanse of Leonard 's back, moving lower to his legs, cladded in blue suit pants. He twirled, catching sight of an ogling Matilda who flushed hard and turned away the moment he caught her staring at him. Her heart clattered in her chest, and she blinked more than necessary. "I've been waiting for you." His face twisted in a smile and he grabbed his tie from the sofa, striding to her, his charming smile still lining his face. "My tie." Without a word, she grabbed it from
"Quite easy, James." All heads turned from Leonard to Matilda who got off her seat, an air of confidence all around her. The question was about something their competitor had which they didn't. From the looks of it, they had already had a meeting with Broadway Enterprise before this particular one with F and A, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of their proposal. James was aware that Leonard would be interested in his activities, and as such, he'd distracted him from looking further at his day-to-day dealings by frolicking with women, while he gave an audience to their rival party. Finding nothing fishy in his dealings, Leonard had ordered his men to quit monitoring James' activities. "While it is true that this idea and approach is novel, and hasn't been tested yet, and would therefore need tons of investment, it is no doubt the best we need if we're concerned about skyrocketing our target audience. In F and A, we've put this into consideration and that's exactly why we
