hilip was still seated between the two elderly women. They were all still a little surprised at what had happened a few minutes ago when Carla dragged Darius into her room. They were even wondering what was going on inside the room.Philip was much worse. He had just been mocked by Darius and didn't even have a chance to retort at his words before Carla (who was his crush) dragged Darius into her room. He wasn't quite sure what to feel or think.As he sat beside the two women, his legs felt like they would carry him and run to Carla's room to see what was going on but he forced himself to sit, his eyes almost wandering to the bountiful chest of Hannah that still had a charm to it but he felt a gaze and saw Carla's father narrowing his eyes at him. He quickly adjusted himself and sat up.Just then his phone rang. He wanted to smash it to the ground but when he saw the caller ID his hands got shaky and he felt a chill up his spine. It was his Father who had just called him. He knew some
Philip began marching through the hall.He didn't even realize that he had drawn the gazes of a few people as he was marching towards Carla and Darius. These were some of the those who had seen the video about him and Darius. The video had widely spread so it made both of them quite popular.As he drifted closer, he now noticed that Carla was almost crying for some reason. He assumed it was Darius but he dismissed it immediately, Darius wouldn't be the one to do such and still be seated next to her while obviously comforting her.Carla looked up and saw Philip heading towards her and she sniffled with a brief sigh of relief. Philip saw the hope and expectation she had in him as their eyes met and he began to smile nervously. He knew he wasn't a reliable person but he had to smile to lift Carla's mood. But Darius said nothing and was just looking with a bit of mischief in his eyes. Philip looked at the face that was still a bit swollen and scoffed internallyHe stopped in in front of C
Philip started hearing different whispers as he picked up his phone and was scrolling through his contacts while thinking of whom to call."Isn't that Philip from the Churchill family?" A voice asked in a low tone among the crowd."Yeah, his Family owns the Ladrak Company. His Father is one of the richest men in the city." Another low voice added."So he's a rich kid... Can he back up his boastful claim with results? He looked so confident but now he's shaking.." A young man replied in an attempt to keep his voice low but failed to do so.Philip heard all the whispers being spoken around him but cut them off and steeled his mind. He couldn't afford to lose the confidence he had summoned up and made call.Obviously his bluff did not pay off and he kept making calls one after the other. Alicia and Darius had mocking expressions on their faces while Carla was starting to get anxious as the seconds and the minutes ticked by. She was confused by what was happening at the moment.'Why is h
Darius stared absentmindedly at the three people with no form of happiness or excitement at their arrival."Hello, son." His Father greeted with a smile. And his stepmother took him by the arm and pulled him into a tight hug. "Darius dear. How have you been? I and your Father misses you." She looked fiercely into Darius' face up close which made Darius uncomfortable."See, even your stepbrother James misses your company. You two haven't related for a very long time. You should visit us once in a while Darius. No one leaves family alone." His stepmother said to him with the face of a concerned mother.Anyone witnessing this scene would think Darius ran away from home and had been avoiding his family... Well, it was close to that but it wasn't out of rebellion that Darius stayed away. No, it was because these people made life miserable for him.As they were all trying to get mushy and all with Darius he suddenly had a reminder of everything he had faced from this people.His father, Rob
'What is it with these beggarly people to keep attracting crowds?!' Philip was incensed.Just the other day, this was the same thing that solicited the slap that he delivered to Darius, and now his family was here to do the same damn thing!Because of the crowds that were showing signs of gathering, Philip knew that he had to be careful of how he behaved or responded to Darius's father. He took a deep breath to release some of the anger boiling inside him."Wow, there's more of you Darius." Was the first thing Philip could say as he sneered at Darius openly. Darius only smiled back. Frustrated, Philip turned to Darius's parents. "I am always ready to provide help to the less privileged such as yourself but right now I have better things to do with my time. So why don't we arrange this for later?"Philip had subtly mocked Robert and Rachel to see if they would act incensed. Surprisingly, they just frowned and gave him looks of discomfort at the slight degradation. Even though he was tr
Darius dropped took the device in his hand and threw it against the wall, smashing it.He then stood up and with a sweep of his hand, he pushed everything on the kitchen counter that he sat at and they felt to the ground with sounds of breaking, splashing and clanging of different things. Darius turned and pulled his hair with a frustrated roar escaping from his mouth. His eyes were bloodshot and full of unrestrained fury.The attendant that was managing the house and cleaning it up in his absence was shocked and terrified, he had never expected something like this from Darius. So he just stood outside the door with a nervous feeling in the stomach.It had been a long while since the last time Darius let loose and released his frustration into the air. He had been doing a lot of closing it in and covering it up for his revenge so he wouldn't be found out. But he felt like he had to let loose so he wouldn't lose his mind.Yes, the video had been very annoying. But that's not what hot D
Carla had an absentminded expression on her face as she sat down in the office of the company manager.Somehow, when she got to his office she had been told to wait by the manager's secretary since the manager himself wasn't on seat. Philip also bid Carla goodbye as he left the company, he was the one who had brought her to the company this morning and he had no reason to stay... Especially since after the incident with Darius.Philip and Carla had the angry gaze of Darius installed in their memory. It was a bit terrifying and they didn't know why. It was what Carla was thinking bout even as she sat in the office and waited for the manager.About thirty minutes later, the door finally opened and Maxwell came in. He got himself comfortable on his chair and flashed a smile at Carla who had stood up to greet him."You may have your seat, Ms Morris." Somehow Carla felt on edge because Maxwell's smile seemed creepy. But she obeyed and sat back down."We just reviewed your contract applicat
Earlier today, at the Featherington house.Robert was watching a football game in his living room. He had his plate of favourite oyster dish beside him and a bottle of beer to go along as he enjoyed the game.He was sucking the seasoned piece of oyster in ecstasy when James barged into the room."Dad! You won't believe what just happened!" He shouted in joy. Robert almost choked on the oyster in his hand and it spilled unto his lap, burning him a bit."Ouch!" He exclaimed. He coughed up a bit and cleaned up his mouth in a hurry. "What's the matter?" He was a bit annoyed that he had spilled his prescious oyster by James's ruckus.James seemed to not even notice the subtle frown on his dad's face. "You won't believe what Mr Philip has done dad!." He exclaimed.Robert's face changed from one of annoyance to an expression of interest be anticipation. "Yes, yes. Out with it. What did he do?""He transferred my job from his company to the Charlton Company!" He said with a small bump of his
