Immediately after his father stormed out of the office fuming, David decided to head out. His meeting with the Russian clients was slated for 1 pm and thirty minutes before the meeting time, David decided to take a stroll to the factory to check out the shipment that had just arrived.When he stepped out, he bumped into a group of people wheeling a bookshelf down the hallway. David was alerted when he saw other messengers walking toward him, lifting a coffee machine. Others were carrying dozens of files.He stopped to wonder why they were moving the structures and before he could utter a word, June appeared. She walked up to him.“Quick, get them inside. We have lots of items to relocate here.” She told the messengers while pointing at the office right next to David’s. “You asked them to move down these items from the third floor?” David turned to June with his eyebrows up, matching his hailine.She smiled and waved her hand down. “Oh come on Dave. They are just doing their job and
“I’ll go grab my jacket and then we’ll leave,” Fred finally spoke. It’s been over two minutes since Sylvia had been standing before him and he hadn’t said a word.He took another look at her, his eyes burning with admiration and slowly shut the door.Sylvia smiled and moved away from the door.It was the dress. She knew it. There was something that silk dresses do to her body. It hugged her tightly, projected her curves, and made men stare at her wolfishly.She didn’t choose that dress to mislead Fred. The color of tonight’s fest was red and the red silk dress was the only outfit she could attend the fest with. The other red dresses she came to the mansion with were maxis and Sylvia felt they were inappropriate for the fest.After Fred arrived at the mansion that afternoon, he bumped into her the moment she stepped out of the kitchen.She had agreed to come with him and had seen a bright smile cover his face.A few moments later, Fred stepped out in a black leather jacket. He came out
Chapter 41: HOME ASSISTANTSylvia quickly stood up when she saw Fred approaching the water fountain.“Let’s go!” he said and walked past her like lightning.“Okay.” She replied and hurried after him. By the time Sylvia arrived at the parking lot, Fred had already mounted the driver’s seat and was creating imaginary circles on the speedometer. Sylvia sat beside him in front.“So tonight Fest is held at the famous New York square.” She began while slipping the seat belt around her.“Don’t worry. G****e map is going to lead us right there.” Fred replied and tapped the monitor in front of him.“Forget the app. As a New Yorker, I need you to sit tight and navigate based on my command. That way, I can show you some cool places around here and it will be like a mobile tour.”“Not today.” Fred sharply replied and turned away. He started the car and before Sylvia could speak, he turned on the car radio, relegating her voice to the background. He then began to wheel the car away from the mansio
The guards stationed at the entrance of Leonard’s chamber quickly moved away when they saw David approaching.“Good morning, Young Master!” they hailed the moment David reached the door.“You guys can leave,” David told them. They dispersed. David exhaled and pushed the handle that opens the door into his father’s chamber. It was a few minutes past 6 am and David felt that there was no better time to see his father than at such an hour. He made his way to the bedroom and met Leonard was reading a book.“I knew you’ll be awake,” David said and sat on the royal couch adjacent to his father’s bed. Leonard took off his reading glasses and shut the book. “I’ve been awake for the past 30 minutes.”“You are retired, Dad. You should be waking up by 8 am.”Leonard chuckled.”Well, it will interest you to know that I no longer wake up by 6 am since the day I retired. I get up b 5:30”David shook his head. “You are one complicated man.”Leonard placed his feet on the floor. He turned to
David was tracing his way back to his room when he heard sobs emanating from through the wall. He moved closer to the kitchen, placed his left ear on the door, and could hear the sobs getting louder.He began to land several knocks on the door.Alerted by the knocks, Sylvia quickly got off the floor and resolved to wipe her tears with the edge of her palms. She then hurried to the sink and began to wash her face while the knocks persisted.“I’m coming, Mili.” She hurried to the door and pushed it open.“Master David!” Sylvia called out in surprise. She quickly moved away from the door with her gaze fixated on the floor.David cleared his throat loudly and stepped inside the kitchen. He studied the area for a few seconds and darted his gaze back to Sylvia.“Are you the only one here?”She quickly lifted her head. “Yes, sir!”David surveyed her for a moment. Her face was wet and her eyes had traces of red coloration in them. It was evident that she had cleaned up after he knocked on t
With tears streaming down her cheeks, the depressed June drove down the highway and took the path that led to the outskirts of New York.While driving at a close range behind her and ensuring that he wasn’t monitored, Fred trailed June to her destination. She drove for more than an hour and finally pulled her car to a halt after she drove to a desserted bar.Fred was stunned at where they ended. He never knew that such a place existed in New York. The path was devoid of people and he could spot only two cars parked in front of a bungalow with a sign post tagged DESSERT BAR. There were no houses or other buildings at close range.From his spot, he watched June get out of her car and parking it in front of the bungalow. She began to take hurried strides toward the bar while Fred paid attention. Several thoughts began to flutter in his mind.What if the man giving her the supposed orders Eleanor spoke about was inside the bar?Fred quickly wheeled his car away from the bungalow. He park
Leonard and Fred were sharing a glass of red wine in the luxurious living room when June walked in. It was a few minutes past 5 pm.“Hi!” Leonard hailed her the moment she walked in. She gave a weak smile and pointed at the staircase leading to her wing. “I’ll go clean up and see you guys.” She said and left before Leonard could utter another word. She was wearing dark spectacles. Fred concluded that she wore the dark spectacle to shield her swollen eyes. Meanwhile, immediately after Castro took her out of the bar, Fred left.Immediately after June left for her room, David barged into the living room with a broad smile. Leonard quickly stood up. He couldn’t remember the last time he had seen David that delighted. “You got the deal!” Fred guessed and hurried toward David. They took each other in a warm embrace. “Yes!” Leonard yelled in victory. David stood before his father. “Our deal with Famzy International shipping brand is sealed.”Leonard gave David a soft pat on the ba
June folded her arms across her chest and stared right through the open window she was facing. She had been in that position from the moment she left the room for her chamber.After her outburst on the phone earlier, June knew that she was getting a backlash and the thought of it was driving her insane. She sighed and fell on the edge of her bed with a sigh. What did she think she was doing? Screaming at him like that? The thought of what he was capable of doing to her caused her to spring off the bed.As if having to deal with David’s brass wasn’t enough. Now, her ally had to piss her off. She palmed her sweaty forehead and was about to start pacing around the room when a tap fell on her door. Infuriated, June turned to the door with an angry tone. “Who the fuck is at my door?”Immediately after she said that she gasped and began to roll her eyes around the room. What if it was David who had come to redeem himself?“It’s Eleanor!”The corners of June’s mouth twitched in fury. “I
