They barely said a thing or two and it was already ten minutes to eleven, Raphael was and had been patient enough.The man beside them chuckled loudly and was mocking Joshua and kicking him with his tongue."I told you he has nothing to offer, why bring him to such a beautiful place believing him when ye had painted black into a beautiful bright colour?"I have overstayed." The man let out grabbing his coat from the seat. And stood to bow his head even with the disappointment he felt towards Joshua."I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Mr Bentley said as he hurried towards them.Raphael couldn't believe his eyes, so the famous Samuel L. Smith was standing before them, his hand held right onto his portfolio bag. He had never seen him before and as the most popular lawyer in the state with barely zero loss cases, he was hence regarded as top-notch. No one dares approach him except the extremely rich; the executive and the Stark as their attorney and those that we're super in need of his
Unfortunately, Joshua did not say anything. It proved that in his case time did not change anything. He's been a loser all his life and people mocked him, a situation that seems to have bolstered over the last five years.The woman couldn't tell hence she increased her cockiness and said. " I don't blame you, you're already used to keeping up with insults, ain't you?"The man sitting at the far table chuckled at the meanness of the woman. Her voice was loud enough that it sent the few people there going."I heard you saved her from the fire, it was quite unbelievable, but here you are unacknowledged." Joshua had creases formed on his forehead. Endurance was a virtue he possessed but stupid people like this woman standing before him who was always pushing him to the cliff couldn't stop at anything good. Silly how with a snap of his finger she would change course and then become more terrible than those on the street. She was unexpectedly digging her own grave.Joshua now pulled his ph
He wouldn't bear grudges against her for mockery right? She couldn't bear to think about it and Joshua didn't find her amazing either."I'm sorry Mr Stark it was my mistake, what do you plan on doing?" Priscilla chimed in trying to ease the situation, what makes her think that his one-day cousin sister with no bond would change anything? That would be hard.Trixie put on a coy smile and paced closer to Joshua. "I mean you can stay here throughout if you wish, I didn't know you were a prominent person funding the Crawford."She thought that her flattery smile and wish could change everything and make Joshua forget her mean and rude attitude towards him. She could fake it but he has seen her true devilish and judgemental colour.Unfortunately, she awoke the sleeping lion from its dean and allowed it to calculate its tactics."Oh Mr Joshua we have met at the patriarchal gathering before and you've been a good friend of mine in the past," Trixie quickly said, hulking on her saliva real ha
Miss Pricilla walked up to Miss Trixie, she knelt her head bent over and she refused to follow them out."I tried as your superior I'm sorry to say this but I know how desperately you want to stay here. You will be transmitted to the branch in the rural, they haven't decided which one yet."She stayed in her trance, just how she could have done something this stupid without having a second thought. Priscilla trudged her should lightly and left the room.After he had made Priscilla disclose the information to Miss Trixie, they were at Mr Frankfurt's office.His office was on the last floor and had few people trolling the area, it was strictly restricted to customers and had its office for workers and those that have something prominent to discuss with the head. "Mr Joshua Stark, I never thought you would be met with such an eyesore as Miss Trixie. My apologies once again. And I believe you won't find it offensive and stop visiting us," the man said, he was scared of a poor rating, i
Mr Mason stared at Joshua with a death glare, what was Joshua thinking by bringing that up?Mr Mason's stern, the shocked expression changed into more laughter as he thought of what Joshua had just said. "What have you to offer?" Mr Mason asked. "Absolutely nothing! You can't just be thinking I would fall for your trick again and again.""Mr Hudson will not have what he wants, please allow me to help.""Help? I wouldn't ask for help from a filthy good-for-nothing man like you." Mr Mason snorted at Joshua's flat excuses. "Because you have nothing to offer!"This useless man can't support his family how dare he tries to shit talk the impossible here!Joshua purses his lips and doesn't talk. He was totally clueless, it was true that Mr Mason doesn't like him and that he was indebted to Mr Hudson but that wasn't all it takes. The loud stern voice the man was using was too loud and if anyone was around aside from the three of them in the house it would have turned into a mockery marketpla
Joshua cocked his head and glanced at the door real hard, his gaze lingering all over the man, from head to the last toe on his leg like a piece of hot bread."That is Mr Bennet. He works in the department as the head of human resources management. I thought I told you about him. He is dedicated and hardworking.""Oh, that too, he is mostly like to get into the description I gave you the other time right." His brow furrowed and his eyes darkened. "That is quite spicy… I doubt it could be him, he had spent his life working here." She rubbed her lips tight. "You should start coming to the company more often sir, The investors will soon start piling in considering it's summer, everyone wants to get themselves settled before winter.'' Joshua nodded at the man, to his right was a space, he escorted Miss Laura." Don't worry Miss Laura, I will see to that." He chuckled back, well he would have to meet Mr Bennet later on, get some information out of him if he had served the company that lo
"We're very sure he is not an intruder." They muttered slowly. The pace at which he approached the man, Mr Bennet and the man's silence shocked everyone."We should talk over a drink," Joshua demanded his arm resting on the man's shoulder and the man instantly alerted himself. He couldn't believe the rumours he heard were true. "Mr Stark… I'm sorry if we're negligent of your presence please give us!" He brushed his hand along with his face glued at the workers. He instantly went lulled and void of speech.Joshua didn't say anything about what he was putting out. The workers gasped, they were surprised, and some were stunned till their stomachs almost started to be famished.The one that stepped up got wet all over and ran towards Joshua. "Please let it slide sir, I was trying to protect my job. It's the only means of livelihood I have." Joshua removed his hand. "Stop wasting time and go to your posts." He muttered to all of them without giving an individual reply to the man. "How di
Pamela had her eyes to the little she could see, with her head scattered with thoughts about Joshua who was much at stake here. Her career. She could hear every noise they made.The carefree Joshua was not hanging around nor did he bother to glint a gaze at his father-in-law or the guests he had himself surrounded with.He turned to walk when he felt a man trudge his shoulder."I like it now that you know your position in the family. You've got no position, I will make sure your light won't blink in the whole of Vancouver Joshua." He neglected the man and strolled ahead. He kept following him, but Joshua paid him no heed or respect."Joshua, you could have been on my good side and none of this could have happened had you given me the heirloom I seek." Mr Clark said as he dumped the epithet in his hand on the table near Joshua."I can't keep reminding you of all these things. I have known it since the first day you came to seek alliance and side with me. You are just trying to use me to
