Saturday afternoon buzzed with a frenetic energy. The air thrummed with car horns and the chatter of bustling crowds.Vincent, a man built like a linebacker with a surprisingly gentle touch, wrestled with a tangled mess of shopping bags.Ramsey, ever the joyful friend since childhood, sported a wide grin and a mischievous glint in his eyes as he nudged a particularly stubborn bag Vincent's way.And Austin… they all piled up in Vincent's sleek black SUV."Man, slow down there, Santa Claus," Ramsey chuckled, dodging a rogue shopping bag with a practiced swoop. "We just need a few suits, not enough to redecorate Austin's entire apartment."Austin, the object of their playful jabs, followed behind, a sheepish smile tugging at his lips. "Hey, I gotta step up my game, right? Can't walk into my first official day as a manager looking like a college freshman anymore. Not in a hoodie and jeans, please."Vincent snorted. "Don't worry, Aust. By the end of this shopping spree, you'll look sharper
Sweat dripped down from his face as Austin put the finishing touches on the floor that he was mopping.The loud noises of the steam engines flooded into his hearings.Rising gently from the floor, his bone made a cracking sound that signified how tired he was and the rate of his beating heart was real fast.Even though he had been working for such a long time in the company and he had to cover the whole company daily, the manager had deliberately refused to increase his pay.The last time that he brought up the topic, he almost got fired and that was something that he didn't want at the moment.But all of that didn't matter to him as a smile was hovering on his face as he tossed the mop into the storage room and made his way toward his boss's office.He could feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through.It was payday today and it was also his marriage anniversary.He wanted to surprise his dear Ariel with the pearl that she had always wanted b
The world around him seemed to have crumbled immediately as he continued to stare at the one that he thought he loved so much.But even though his heart ached, he had to make out his words."So this is what you have been looking for. A way to push me away from your life so that you will have all the time in the world to cheat right." There was pain in Austin's heart as he spoke the words to herFor a moment, Ariel was stunned not because she caught her husband cheating on her but because she thought that she was already out of the house already"What is he still doing here? I thought that he took the money already and signed the documents?" Her gaze moved swiftly towards her mother without placing her gaze on him even for a single moment."Well, you should know the punk better than I do. He has refused to sign until you spit the words in his face. Now that you are here, I guess that would be a lot easier." Ariel replied accompanied by a long hiss from her mouth.For the first time sin
Austin's heart was clouded with joy at the thought that he could now return to his family after such a long time.But there was something strange about this sudden callback call but he just couldn't place his hands on it."Something doesn't seem right." He said under his breath almost immediately.He could feel his heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through."I guess that I will have to go and see my father now." He said to himself.For the first time in a long while, he took an Uber to the venue of the meeting.His eyes sped off towards the wristwatch that he had in his hands only to notice that he was just in time.For some weird reason, his heartbeat continued to go faster than normal as his eyes sped off toward the large building.Following the news that he has been following about the family's company, it was one of their latest collectionHe sipped in a really deep breath and walked slowly into the place. So large that he could hardly make his
There was a swift change in Rose's facial expression as she continued to pair with them, trying to make things out in her head."This has to be some terrible mistake." She thought, flinging a stale stare towards Austin, who was able to maintain a strange calm around him, getting her spilling over with rage.Her frown deepened. "I can't believe that you have the guts to accept the manager's acquittal." Rose's voice was like the clap of a lightning bolt.And before it could get to the mind of anyone in the hall, the air hand was already high up in the air, wanting to throw Austin off balance with a slap.But before she could achieve her aim, her hands held her up in the air, preventing her from doing anything.Her eyes made a swift pull towards the one that was holding her hands high up in the air only to notice that it was Ramsey.Her face filtered with dread, making her to pull off her hands away swiftly but that didn't stop her from trying to explain her point."Have you suddenly gon
Mr. Rufus Gerald pulled off from his seat, hugging Austin tightly until he could feel the warmth of his hands.After a while, he pulled off and held on to his face."I'm glad to have you back and see your face once again even though it's not going to be for long." His father noted.Mr. Rufus' face was so flooded with so much joy that he didn't notice the extreme words of his father. His heart was racing fast."Glad to have you back too father. And I promise to have a great time with you now that I am back." Austin addedBut he could feel that something was wrong with his father. His breathing beat and his extremely cold hands.And immediately he said the words, there was a sudden change in his facial expression but he could not pinpoint what exactly it was that was wrong."Are you okay father?" He inquired staring right into the eyes of his father with so much passion.Mr. Rufus pushed a smile forward almost immediately as he gestured to a seat that was right before him."I'm fine.
Meanwhile, Luther walked into the room with a smile on his face. It was Ariel's birthday as well as the day that he was officially going to be divorced and start a new life altogether.She could feel her heart racing fast. Overjoyous as she could not wait to get over with the punk already."Finally, we are getting rid of that fool from our lives forever." He muttered under his breath swiftly."I wonder how he is going to survey on the street." Lady Willow said swiftly under her breath as everyone in the room burst out into laughter."This is going to be the best." One of them said under their breath.Just then Luther cleared his truth, walking gradually towards Ariel with a smile on his face.Ariel had a weird expression on her face, flooded with so much confusion as he continued to stare at him."Is there anything wrong?" She could no longer help it but inquired swiftly.Her heart was beating hard against her chest as though it was going to burst through, still staring right into hi
Austin could barely hold his laughter as he continued to stare at him with so much awe.His heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through. He watched as Ariel walked up to him, her hands firmly around his neck, and she kissed him."I never knew that I had gotten a blessing in disguise." She muttered under her breath.Soon, Austin could no longer control himself as he burst out into laughter making everyone in the room fling in his direction."Is the fool real right now?""What makes him think that he can laugh?" Another voice streamed swiftly into his ears.He could already hear the pattern of feet from behind and he turned around to see who it was only to notice that it was Lady Kate.His hands had a tight frown on her face, one that was enough to throw him off balance."And what right do you think that you have the right to laugh?" She thundered at him, her voice laced with so much hatred and disgust but even at this, he was still calm."I just wanted
