A few days before the wedding."Let me see the letter Philip submitted to you." Darius demanded. He was talking to Maxwell who had just come in to his office to report what had happened with Philip."Yes, young master." Maxwell handed over the piece of document with him to Darius.Darius flipped it open and read it. "Letter of resignation?" He looked up at Maxwell's face in confusion.Maxwell pushed up his glasses nervously. "I also don't understand the situation, young master." He awkwardly replied. "But Carla hasn't been in the office too either. Do you think she agreed with Philip to do this sir?""I don't think so." Darius replied with a complicated expression on his face. "I don't see any reason for Carla to do something like that. If she wanted to resign, them she would have submitted it herself." He said while being confident in his theory.The only reason Darius was able to come to this conclusion was because he knew Carla to an extent."Besides..." Darius continued. "She woul
Darius didn't feel quite easy with his decision. He shone how felt like he should make more deliberate step about the current situation but he also felt like there was no need to rush things. He just had to observe for now.But Darius had not imagined that the wedding would be on that Saturday.It was the next day and Darius sat in his office and twirled around in his seat with expectation as he watched Maxwell come in. A steaming cup of coffee had been placed on his table and Darius waiting for it to cool down before touching it."What's today's news?" He asked straight away without giving Maxwell the time to greet."Um.. that" Maxwell was caught unexpectedly and struggled with what to answer first. He eventually got his bearing and made up his mind."Philip went there again this morning as we speak and so did the wedding planners." He reported with a slight bow."And?" Darius looked at Maxwell curiously as he inquired. "Anything else?""Not yet, young master. It seems the meeting i
Darius watched the final moments of the ongoing wedding from inside his car as he seethed in rage.He had not been able to enter but he had made Maxwell to go and get access to the CCTV footage of the building. From there, the live feed was connected to a tablet and Darius watched from where he was.As much as Darius wanted to barge into the building to scatter the wedding in his wrath, he restrained himself from doing such a thing.'Its not worth it.' Darius had thought to himself. He was already too late now. Any other action he took would just seem petty to everyone who witnessed it as it would be judged as immature."You've won this time." Darius muttered as he glared at Philip through the screen. "Let's see how much longer you'll be able to enjoy it."***"She looks so beautiful!" A voice commented."Of course. Why do you think Philip was adamant in getting her to be his bride?" Another voice replied.This was inside the building that the wedding was being held. Despite the fact
"Hehe! I want to see what Darius' face will be like when he hears that I and Carla are married now..." Philip thought aloud to himself as he was being driven to his father's company.He couldn't help it. The woman that he had wanted for a long time had finally gotten to him now. Philip also felt good for taking Carla away from Darius. The very first victory he had over Darius since they met."This is just the beginning of what I'm going to do to him." Philip determined in his mind as he got off his car and entered into his father's company to meet him."Where the hell have you been?" Mr Churchill asked with a terrific scowl on his face the moment he saw Philip.Philip walked into the office nonchalantly and sat down. "Relax dad, I just finished my honeymoon in a hurry because of your unceasing calls. If you had been at my wedding maybe you would have remembered that I just got married and that I also had a honeymoon to attend to?" He accused his father."Since when do you know me to c
Philip couldn't have ever imagined that he would be the one being blamed for what was going in in the company. He looked at his father with a dumbfounded expression."What is happening right now is not my fault in any way." Philip denied with visible anger rising from within him. "You were the one who made the deal with Carla's family and convinced me that I should take what I want when I want it." He growled at his father angrily."That didn't mean you should slack off in your responsibility!" Mr Churchill snapped back."Slack off?" Philip muttered with a bitter smile. "When you said you were going to look into Darius what did you expect me to do? I should have joined in the investigation when you said you had your best guys doing the same thing? What would my involvement have changed?" He asked."There's no way we'd know now right?" Mr Churchill replied. "Since you never made any effort then we can't say that this is the result of your efforts or not. In the end, there's nothing to
"But hasn't the McArthur family been a discreet family?" Lord Regis felt like he had to ask."Of course we have chosen to be like that for a long time, however, I think it's time to come out just a bit. I'll still remain anonymous to most but I'll reveal myself to the people I think it is necessary." Darius explained.Lord Regis slightly nodded his head. But he still found some incongruity in what Darius was asking for. The McArthur family was very discreet and even fewer people knew that the family owned the Charlton Company. But if people saw Darius and Maxwell together, the truth was bound to be revealed sooner than later.At the same time, he could understand why Darius wanted something like that. No one will truly believe him or think much of him if he just went alone, and being new to it all, he needed to get familiar with how things were run and he needed a backer. That was what Maxwell was there for. But what would shock others was that rather than being Darius' backer, Maxwel
Darius cooled his mood when he realised that he was starting to scare Lord Regis."Sorry if that scared you. I should be taking my leave now." Darius said."Oh you don't have to be sorry about that." Lord Regis tried to laugh it off but it only came out as a dry chuckle. "I was just wondering who those people who had made you so angry were." He said dismissively."I'd rather not talk about them right now." Darius said with a hint of coldness in his tone. He tried to force a smile. "You haven't replied though." He reminded Lord Regis."Ah ah! Mr Darius, what can I do? Since you've said you just want to deal with some nasty people for what they did to you I can just stand by and watch. You are free to do as you please." Lord Regis said as he chose his words very carefully.It's not like he could actually stop Darius when Darius started to carry out his revenge. Darius was definitely someone he couldn't mess with."That's a good answer Lord Regis." Darius replied in acknowledgement. "I w
The next day, Darius called Maxwell into his office."The mayor did not disappoint." He said immediately Maxwell walked in. "He's sent the details about the ball and the names of the people who will be attending.""He can't afford to disappoint you, young master." Maxwell replied proudly as if it was only natural that the mayor would do as Darius wished."Enough with your flattering." Darius said exasperatedly. "I need you to research on these people and tell me the important I should know about them." Darius said."Yes, young Master." Maxwell replied without questioning.'It is only normal to prepare properly before the hunter goes to hunt.' Darius thought inwardly. He wanted to know everything there was to know about the people he was going to meet.Maxwell indeed took the task seriously and got down to it immediately. Sometime later, Maxwell came in with a note of all the things he had researched and showed it to Darius.Together, Darius and Maxwell studied and took note of the dif
