The grand restaurant in the Regency Hotel was filled to the brim with people, and it made Lutenant, who had just entered inside alongside his father and his sister wonder if they received this much customers during the day.If indeed they did, then they must have surely made a name in the city.Not just a name, per se, but a status and a brand. They must have achieved that to be able to garner such an amount of customers even though it was just lunch break.“How come there are so many people in here, dad?”His father smiled, running a hand through his hair absentmindedly.“Just tell me you don't know Howard stones without saying you don't know him.”Lut shrugged. His father couldn't blame him. He was just new to wealth, and had no clue of who some of the richest men in the business world were. He was still learning, and he was thankful to have his father by his side to even show him the ropes.“Welcome to the grave restaurant of the Regency hotel. Please, your menu is on the table, pl

The first thing that came to his mind was her safety and her whereabouts. Was she in a place that posed danger? He ran a hand through his hair, temporarily forgetting that he was in an Uber, wishing that he was wherever he was, comforting her and telling her that everything was going to be alright.“Where are you?”Before she replied, he could hear her sniffling. It was strange to him, hearing her cry.“In my car. I'm about to enter the company, but I haven't yet. Decide to take my time before doing so.”“Are you hurt?”When she replied, her voice was firm. The confidence that he had known so much had eventually returned. The Aurora he had known and the woman he had made his personal assistant was back.“No, I'm not. Not literally…”“Aurora, talk to me. Do you need help? So you want me to send somebody from the office? A guard? Let me know, come on.”He was starting to fidget. He didn't know where she was, and being about eight to ten miles away didn't help matters. It made him scare

A few minutes later, she was in her car, having packed everything she needed to do her work from home. Her foot on the accelerator,she peeled the car out of the parking lot.A few metres away from the consortium, she stopped next to a traffic light as she waited for the sign to turn green. She stared at her phone for a moment, afraid to touch it, scared that the recording had disappeared from within it. Her hands clutching the wheel when the sign turned green, she admitted that she needed Lutenant James more than she felt she did. *“Director Edward? Good afternoon.”An hour later, Lut had managed to book a flight. It wasn't first class, but he was going to manage. While waiting for a class to be given to him in the waiting section of the airport, he had successfully rejected four of his sister's calls, and had ignored his father about ten times.He had taken a stand, and he knew it was for the better.They were going to have to deal with it, after all, he was a grown man who coul

“You're safe now, Aurora, you're safe. That bastard has no idea where you are, and you're going to shock him when he discovers you recorded it. You're going to spill his dirty linen in public. It's alright now, don't cry.”It took a while for her to stop crying, but he was there for everything.His anger was seeing his once confident personal assistant cry. His rage was seeing a woman that he was heavily attracted to almost being taken advantage of. The more he thought about it, about the danger of being alone in the office with him and how she had managed to outsmart him, the angrier he got.“Can you follow me to the station? I want to make sure they arrest him. I can't wait to see that bastard in handcuffs. Do you have the recording? I'd like to listen to it.”Sniffling, she gave the phone to him. When he played the recording, it pissed him off even more.Hearing the voice of Dylan made him angrier than ever.“Yeah, I can.”But at that moment, Lut had other plans. He wanted the poli

“Please, Lut. I agree that he has done this before. And we've done nothing but try to cover it up for him. We've sent him to rehabilitation centres, and most times, he comes back a changed man. I never even expected this to happen again…” Lut glared at him in anger before interrupting him. “You knew all this about him and you still went ahead to let him handle the recruitment of workers? You are probably the reason he hasn't done time yet. It was always going to happen again, man. Your brother was nothing but a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode.” Lutenant gestured to Hubert. “Let's get out of here.” As soon as the door was opened, Dylan did the most unbelievable thing. He left his chair, ran straight to the departing Lutenant, and fell on his knees, his hands clutching his trousers tightly. The tears were free flowing now, he was doing nothing to hide his shamelessness. “Please, Lutenant, don't do th
