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
"Are you sure about this Pam?" Joshua stared into her eyes questioning. She looked quite confident, She faced her father ignoring the fact that he had decided to carry on what is in his heart with Hudson without seeking her consent."I couldn't have been any less serious, what's there for us, no future, even if you bring me out here and try to talk me out of it, I've already made up my mind."With a sigh, his leg slowly and calmly turned to face her.He asked his voice laced with confidence. Pamela scoffed bitterness etched across her perfect face. "Are you sure about this Pam?""You can't be asking. Joshua. I… I don't know what I should be sure of! I mean I'm speechless here." She shrugs her hands in the air, tears rolling down her eyes as she thought of it.Her heart sank out, and Joshua felt the pain in her eyes, She wasn't naive, she knew Joshua might seem like a nobody, a nobody that knows and understood her. The fact that she didn't want this or she's happy about this. With a sh
"Great! Now shut the fuck up and get inside and pack your stuff, the Masons will have nothing to do with you anymore." "Mr Mason might want to take back those words, Joshua is a great man," Mr Clark chuckled mockingly. "A great man! You must have a session booked with the optometrist." Little did they know he is head of the Stark and the common Mason wants what?! Want to have nothing to do with him. Seriously, that will be ridiculous unless he wants to go down the drain. "I can't believe you coldly signed it out." Pamela's eyes were plunged within her socket. "I told you it's for the best, Pamela." "Bullshit, you expected him to refuse didn't you?" "Trisha! You don't meddle…" Pamela snapped back. "Clearly I am. If not for him we currently wouldn't have been in this state." Trisha was holding her grudges against him. "And to you Joshua, you should sniff the outside world to appreciate the hand that fed you." "But what mistake did he commit, the fact that he saved me?" "Yes,
