The meeting was over, and Xavier walked out of the room, heading towards his office. During the meeting, Evelyn kept scanning the room looking for Charlotte, until she strained her eyes. She gave up when it seemed Charlotte didn't show up.Xavier asked her to stay back, he provided her some documents to make some photocopies for him, and it took her a lot of time, she couldn't make it to the meeting.He needed twenty copies of it, and she didn't finish in time until some few minutes, when the meeting came to an end.He walked into his office, and met her, coordinating the papers on his desk. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips."Are you done?" He asked, walking towards her, her attention diverted to him."Yes, I'm done, everything you need is here." She responded, still structuring the documents, avoiding eye contact with him."Okay, I'm heading out with Ms Evelyn, stay back and finish the job I gave you." He said, and she quickly halt from what she was doing."What about your sc
For the past one hour, after he strode out of the station, he has been sitting in his car without a word from him, and the figure with him did not dare to utter a word.He had a lot on his mind, and it's beginning to steal away his peace. Everything was fine, until the company's Manager died. Since then, it's one crisis to another.Xavier thought if he had watched his guard closely, and payed more attention to him, things wouldn't have turned around. Charlotte wouldn't have gone through all those pains of being accused.The thought of her, crept the memory of the girls into his head. He took a look at his wristwatch, and thought of going to see them. "Pablo, take me to the pizza shop down the roadside."The figure nodded, and did as instructed. A few minutes later, they arrived at the pizza shop. Xavier stepped down from the car, and eased his steps towards the shop.Immediately he was inside, all eyes were now on him. He Felt their gaze and murmurs, but that was the least of his pro
The mansion was quiet, most of the guards were not at their position, except for a few, which is unusual. Guards have never left their position to run errands or even have a little rest for fun. They are always on standby watching over the mansion.But today seems quite different, and it got him wondering what was going on, perhaps something happened, and his father refused to call him.He pushed the thought aside, and marched into the house. As soon as he stepped his foot inside the living room, to his surprise, his brother was sitting comfortably on the couch, munching on a cookie.He looked around, and back to his brother, he thought he was hallucinating. His brother is missing, and his whereabouts is unknown, there's no way he must be the one.He stood still watching the figure, thinking it was a ghost, until the figure spoke up."Common big brother, it's me, you look like someone who has just seen a ghost." Bryan said, and dropped his plate of cookies. "You could be a ghost who
The sound of his footsteps resonates around the vicinity as he marches vigorously to the balcony holding some pieces of paper. Immediately he got to the balcony, he met his father sipping from a glass of alcohol. His expression not looking pleasing."Father, what the hell is this? I thought we had enough security at the warehouse?" He said, and dropped the papers on the stool.Antonio dropped his glass of alcohol, and picked up the papers. He clenched his toes, and gritted his teeth in anger. He was already having a bad day, and decided to pass his time on the balcony while he waits for Mr cho to show up."Where did you get this? What is the manager doing? If he wasn't ready to look over the company, and warehouse, why the fvck did he sign up for it?" Antonio thundered, he was raged."This isn't the time to blame the manager for the fire. He is doing a pretty good job there, and you know that.""If he was doing a good job, why then did the warehouse get burnt? This is the warehouse t
The enthusiasm and confidence Charlotte felt today, was nothing compared to the past days. After hoping, and praying everything comes to pass, her patience and optimism finally paid off. Her name will be cleared off today, and she will be free from all defamation.Matilda had told her, her name would be cleared off, but she was kind of dubious about it, since Xavier never mentioned such to her. Until earlier this morning, when she got a call from Scott, and asked her to come to the station.This was something to rejoice about, and Charlotte couldn't wait for it to be over, so she can be free. As she waited for the reporter to be brought out of the cell. Veronica pleaded, that she wanted to have a word with Charlotte and Scott validate to it.Charlotte was seated in the waiting area, when veronica's lawyer, and a female cop, accompanied her towards Charlotte.Charlotte's heart skipped when she saw her, and it made the smile on her face vanished. She stood up in fear, looking at Veronic
The sound of punches, and scream echoed repeatedly in the room. A figure was tied to a chair, while Pablo beats him up as hard as he could. Xavier and his father sat down, watching the figure in pain, with a cold expression on their faces.For the past fifteen minutes, Pablo has been inflicting pain on him, and Xavier has no plan to stop him, not anytime soon.Mr Xi tapped his toe on the ground sporadically, counting to the time he has been tied to a chair. He took a look at his watch, and turned to Pablo. "It's okay Pablo, let him rest, he can't lose consciousness." Mr Xi finally spoke up.With furrowed brows, Xavier looked at his father, not sure of why he stopped him. He wasn't ready to stop Pablo, but his father did before he could make him stop."If he continues to beat him up, we might end up killing him, and we need him alive." Mr Xi said, and Xavier understood what he meant.Pablo stepped back, while Xavier stood up, walked towards him and grabbed his chin. He spun his face
"Doctor, is there no other alternative? Must we use the blood for the test?" Alex asked, gazing at the doctor, with the hope of a positive answer."If there's a way, I would have informed you on the phone two days back. I would have done that on the day you called. The only way to do it, is get their blood, and run the test."Alex embarked on a prolonged silent, thinking of how he can get Xavier's blood without his consent. But he knew it was impossible, unless he is willing to feed him with alcohol, and Xavier doesn't drink much."If you can make him accompany you to my office, there's a way I can do it, bring him to my office, and I will do the rest.""Very well then, I will take my leave. I will head to his office to see if I can convince him." Alex said, and stood up."I will be waiting for your call." They shook hands, and he strode to the parking. He got into his car, and drove off.The sound of someone's footsteps got Charlotte's attention, and she lifted her head to see Alex s
EGYPTArya march out of the plane alongside her new-found friend Nate. He suggested she come to Egypt with him, and being that, she loves vanity, without hesitation, she agreed to accompany him.Immediately they were off the plane, Arya looked around her vicinity wowing in her head, scanning the airport as she wowed."This must be your first time here, seeing the way you can't keep calm. Your enthusiasm is too obvious, it can tell someone you haven't been here before." Nate said, sliding his phone screen open."Sure, this place is beautiful, I have no relatives nor family here, there's no reason for me to be here, and to talk more, this is far from California. How did you manage to survive for the past four years." Arya rested her hands on her wait, gazing at him."It might be far from California, but this is one of the best places to live. Though most people here are not Christians, but it fun to be with them." He responded earnestly, placing his phone back in his pocket. "Ahhh, you
