Luxander stared outside his window as he puffed heavily on his piped pot. He was a man of different varieties who liked to change his cigar preferences the way he changed women. Every. F*cking. Day. He heard the sound of his study room door turn and twist as footsteps approaching him. This must be good news. He thought. He turned around to see Januel, his assistant as he flashed him a big smile. “Go ahead, tell me the good news. Did Gordons get Richie back on board?”Worried lines creased Januel’s forehead. “He made it worse, sir”Stunned by how the situation could have gotten any worse, Luxander probed further. “What do you mean by that?”“I mean, it got worse to the point that BVD and LRC are looking at terminating their contract that had lasted for the past five years”.Luxander let out a deep throaty laughter as he pressed his stomach wheezing for air . He must have been insane to have thought for a second that Gordons could fix this issue. He should have just offed the f*cker
Gordons sprang up on his feet as he saw the picture Luxander had sent to him along with the caption. He was in his study, in the middle of a conversation with Sparrow but now he had silenced and him to call Luxander.Luxander had answered on the first ring and Gordons balled his fist tightly as he could heard the smile in Luxander’s voice as he spoke. “To what do I owe this pleasant surprise to, Gordons?”“I’ve told you many times that you should leave Ashley alone”. Gordons whisper-screamed. “She doesn’t need to serve our clients.”Luxander let out a deep throaty laughter. He couldn’t believe how dense Gordons was thinking he was doing all this just because they’d lost a client or could it be that he was still deciding to play dumb till the end that Ashley was his sister?. Luxander thought as he wiped his tears off his cheeks. Damn, he hadn’t remembered when last he’d laughed this hard. “Gordons”. Luxander dragged put slowly.”I’m hurt for your sister. I mean, even at her point of d
After watching her favourite show rerun on the TV, Kate suddenly felt a bit better than before. She couldn’t believe she would have to bear with this, probably for the rest of her life. Kate climbed down from her bed as she stepped outside of her room, descending the spiral staircase as she calmed out for John, Nacho and Miriam but none of them had turned up. “John..”. She called out once more gazing around for even his shadow and yelped as she came face to face with a man in his 60’s that she was sure she’d never seen before. He looked quite young though drapped in the blue suit he wore but, his outstanding grey hairs gave way that he was not as young as he’d dressed out to be. Kate flashed a smile at the elderly man as she approached him. “Excuse me but, who do you want to see?”. The old man stared at Kate, confused. He was positive that he ought to be the one asking that question. Before he could reply, John had stepped forward greeting the man. “My Lord, how are you faring?
"I did just ask you a question, didn't I?". Richie repeated as he stared at Kate. "What were you doing?"Kate hiccuped as she stuttered."Y...o..u were in here for too long so I thought-""Going forward, resist from such gestures. Do you hear me?".He questioned as he gestured towards the front door. "Now, get out". As Richie watched Kate exit his study, he tugged at the back of his hair, annoyed that he had slept just after 10minutes of reading into his client's details. He glanced to look at the wall clock as he shrieked. It was 9:45am. He'd even overslept?.Richie let out a frustrated grumble as he heard his study door slowly creak open. He was about to loose his patience thinking that it was Kate again but then let out an exasperated sigh seeing John. "I don't know what I pay you for these days. You show up at work yesterday and I know I'd let that slide but you couldn't even see to it that I was awake today."John looked down at his hand slightly apologetic, slightly because he di
Gordons knew Richie like the back of his hands. In order to please Luxander and get Ashley back, he knew he had to make Richie crawl back to him and that was only possible if he made BVD fall. And he knew exactly how to do that. Apart from LRC, KTF was another big company that was heavily laded with electrical supplies. No one has ever seen the face of the owner of the company so it had always been a mystery to everyone. That aside, he knew that Richie would be meeting with the owner soon to strike a deal with his company. He'd reasoned that If he met with the owner first and brought him over to his side, it would ruin Richie's chances to strike a deal with him and so, he'd worked towards it. Gordons had set up a meeting with the client before he'd meet Richie so here he was rubbing his hands ferociously against his jeans as he was seated in the coffee shop waiting for his unknown guest.He stilled as he'd resist the urge to look back as heard slow footsteps approach him from beh
Ashley woke up with a strong start and her mind in a daze. She looked around the dimly lit room she was in as she tried to comprehend where she was and how she got here. Ransacking her brain to the barest maximum, she remembered meeting up with Luxander and he, asking for her help before her world went blank. Ashley found herself unable to move as she finally took to awareness that both her hands and legs were tied to the back of a chair. She whimpered, afraid as she suddenly thought back to the tales she'd heard about Luxander from Gordons mouth and didn't have a clue what he'd planned to do with her. "Someone please, help me!. A person is in here!" She screamed deciding to give it her best shot and cry out for help. A deep low chuckle echoed round the room as she shivered. She could tell that it belonged to Luxander and she couldn't be more right as sooner than later, the devil himself had appeared infront of her. "Please, let me go". Ashley begged in-between sobs as Luxander
John drove Richie straight to the office after he'd been informed that his meeting with his client won't take place anymore.He could tell that Richie was upset about it but then he wished he would stop taking his anger out on Kate. I mean, the house could hear their screams and it sounded more like pain than pleasure.Not wanting to put Kate in a tough spot, John had decided to hide his feelings from her and Richie but there was only so much he coukd take. "We've arrived, boss".John said as he drove into the company's driveway. He brought the car to a stop by the company's front door so that Richie could climb down while he turned around to park the car.When John had parked the car, he alighted as he moved to walk through the company's front door but surprisingly he saw by the door. "Boss, what are you doing here?". He questioned. "I was waiting for you." Richie said as a matter of fact. "We need to talk, let's go""But if you needed to talk to me, you should have said so in the
“The pleasure is all mine, Mr Luxander”. Richie said with a smile. Luxander had smiled first at him so this was a good sign, right?. He thought. He signalled at he waitress to take their orders. “One iced Americano for him, please”.Richie ordered.“Just one? What about you?”. Luxander questioned. “I actually had one before you came”. Richie lied. In truth, he didn’t like iced Americano. He was just trying to impress Luxander and impressing Luxander meant deal getting signed and seeing a smile on his grandfather’s face.“Now I feel bad. I did come here exactly 7:30am though but you make it sound like l made you wait long. I apologize for that.”Now Richie bit down on her tongue. He couldn’t believe all these misunderstandings had all ensued because he didn’t order a freaking iced Americano. “You didn’t make me wait long”.Richie said trying to make the matter better. “You are my guest so it only makes sense that I arrive before you, isn’t it? You just kept ne waiting for like 10minut
