The two guards drew closer towards Leonard but to the surprise of everyone, he didn't shake, even for a single moment."We are going to spare you. If you go back to our young master and apologize." They said,"Yeah. He should do that and save his life as soon as he can." The cleaner said, already shivering on his behalf."You don't have to say that Sia. I am sure that he is going to take the opportunity with open arms." The older one said."But what is he still waiting for? Should he be doing so already?" Another one of them said.But instead, Leonard decided to go contrary to their words and he crossed his hands over his chest and said."So what? Your master is rich so should I be shivering? Shaky like a baby? Oh my! I am so scared.You know how that is going to happen, hit your head hard on the wall and go to bed. Maybe the pain is going to be potent enough to make you come back to your senses." He replied.Rumbles of shock ran through the spine of everyone that was gathered around.
Dave lunged at Leonard who anticipated this move and sidestepped him immediately. He was not expecting that move so he stumbled almost hitting the ground causing the audience to laugh at his failure.Enraged and saddled with a mixture of shame, he decided to still make sure that he landed a jab at Leonard. That was the only thing that could make him settle. Leonard noticed his stance and chuckled at him, " Whatever your name is, don't you think that you're doing a tad bit too much? It's not right for someone like you to be involved in dirty fights like this. I mean, after all you say that you are greater than I am." He said in a mocking tone. Dave balled his fists, his eyes narrowing in anger as he stared at the man who tried to show that he was wiser than him. "I'll teach you a lesson that you'll never forget!" He yelled.Leonard grins at the sheer folly the man was causing for himself. " I don't think that your investors would be happy seeing such a high profile man like you runni
Without further Ado, he exits the party ground and walks to a cab that's waiting for him outside. He was doing all he could to make sure that no one figured out who he actually was. As he was walking, he heard his name and he turned swiftly shocked to see Sofia bundling towards him. " Hey,..." She whispered when she arrived at his side.Leonardo looked her up and down in subtle assessment and she felt shivers run down her spine. He surely didn't care for her. She deduced. "I came to see you." She muttered and facepalmed internally at the ridiculousness of her words. Of course, she could see him. She had been searching for him almost everywhere."Okay..." Leonard trailed off hurrying her up. As things stood right now, he didn't have the luxury of time to have a conversation without any direction. "Miss... I'd suggest you speak now..." He trailed off.Sofia stared at the man in front of her, he was not even staring at her like an attractive woman she was. This was the man that her hea
Leonard arrived at the hospital in a few minutes. He was so happy to see his sister slowly from the bed."Hello, dear." He said and put his hands in his pocket with a small smile on his face. His sister smiled weakly as she tried to lift herself up only to collapse on the bed. "Easy, I don't think you should be making any move so soon." He chided her softly.His sister grinned in response. She could have sworn that she was feeling a tad bit energetic a few minutes ago but at this point, she didn't know what happened to her.He walked closer to her bed and held her hands. Relief and happiness washed over him. His little sister was finally free from illness, she could live her life as she pleased. He sat on her bed and waited a bit before speaking. "I'm so glad that you are alive." He whispered and hugged her slightly."Yeah, me too." His sister croaked. When she thought about the surgery, she had fears that she could die but alas it came out successfully which she was highly grateful
Leonard took a quick stop at the shopping mall so that he could change into something more presentable. Going home before arriving here was going to prove to be stressful, so in a bid to beat time.He purchased an expensive Italian suit and paired it with a pair of Armani shoes, and dark shades. They were very important for him to look on top of his game."Your card please." The receptionist replied and he handed it over to her immediately because he didn't want to talk about anything. The cashier stared at the card immediately and her eyes widened in surprise. It was almost as though she was dreaming. The handler of the car didn't look very much presentable. How was she sure that she didn't steal it?Leonard, noticing what must have gone wrong, stared at her with a wicked stare wondering what was her problem, daring her to mention a word. "Here you go, sir." The cashier responded and he collected his goods. If he had the time, he would have made sure that he taught her a lesson for
The men turned their heads immediately and stared at him as he walked in. No one coyote recognized him before today, hence the reason for their shock. It must have hit them right in the chest when they saw the least expected person to walk in. Li Yuan, the lead china investor rose to his feet, stretched forth his hand as Leonard approached the seat. "I'm guessing you were the one we are waiting for. It's a pleasure to meet with you, Mr...?" He trailed off, waiting for Leonard to introduce himself."Just call me L." Leonard replied and gripped the man's hand firmly, showing that he was in control. "Good day, gentlemen." He said to the other of the men who were present. They seemed like his cohorts. Li Yuan adjusted his glasses on his eyes "Welcome, sir." He said and Leonard didn't say anything. Leonard went to the seat. "May we begin this discussion, gentlemen." He said and drew out his Notebook to scribble something on it. His eyes scanned their files and went through it. "So, I h
It was barely noon but he was already so tired that he just wanted to take a quick shower and rest. Trying to get acquainted with the life that he has gotten was a lot on its own. The past few weeks took him from being a mere pauper, who could barely take care of himself and sister, and now he was living in a mansion.The things he only thought of in imagination turned out in reality and it shocked him more. He threw his jacket on the king sized bed before walking into the bathroom. He stood under the shower still in his shirt and trouser and it was like that for a while.There was now a huge responsibility on him; his sister and the line of companies that he now owned. Looking at the way things were going, he would be adding more.His phone in the room began to ring, but he wouldn't budge from the bathroom. Whoever was calling would have to wait but after a while it continued to ring.With a loud groan, he made his way to the bedside stand in his bathroom, and muzzed hair. “Hello" h
It was as if the world was spinning when he saw his sister laying helpless on the bed. He watched as the Doctor rushed in quickly, not minding who was in the room before he started on work on Lucy's limp body. All he could feel was panic. Panic and rage. If anything happened to his sister, he wasn't sure of he would be able to compory himself."Doctor," he finally managed to say as he was trying his best to suppress the rage that was so full. "what's happening? Why is she unconscious?"The doctor, who was a short man, looked hesitant. "I apologize, Mr. Leonard, there seems to be a complication. We're doing everything we can," he stammered, clearly seeing that Leonard could do anything to him."Do your job," Leonard snapped angrily, as he started to walk back and forth. The doctor must have sensed that if he stayed any further, he would be used as a scapegoat. He hurriedly did his work, before skittering out of tht room and the only thing that could be hear was the rhythmic beeping o
