CHAPTER 91
Emma came late to the office, close to ten in the morning.She was not expecting Kevin to be there, which was why she came late.However, not only Kevin was in his office, he wasn’t alone.Sitting with him was Regan Creed himself, wearing track pants and a beanie. He looked funny, but she didn’t smile.She entered the room without even knocking, so she said, “Uh… I’ll leave you two alone.”“No, wait,” Kevin told her. “Mr. Regan has liked the design and wishes to try it at home, so you’ll personally go to his mansion and install it.”Emma nodded repeatedly for almost ten times. “I will do it.”She stood calmly, but inside, she was jumping in joy because she could visit the Creed Mansion, and if she was lucky, she could also meet Regan’s grandson who was considered the richest man in the world.Regan then offered a handshake to Kevin. “I wasn’t expecting you to finish the model in a day. I hope this will work. If it’s satisfactory, I will offer you a contract to renovate the bathrooms i
CHAPTER 92
Silence filled the hall so much so that people could hear each other’s breaths.The audacity of Brielle to ask her son-in-law who just bought a company for 37 million dollars to then go and clean the toilets in the mansion was higher than the sky!They couldn’t easily wrap their heads around what they had just heard.Just what kind of dynamics was this?Every family had some kind of issue between their members, but this was their first time seeing something like this.It wasn’t just bizarre, but it also came at the most unexpected time.Some seriously thought that Brielle was just joking, but nobody was laughing.The atmosphere in the hall didn’t feel like someone had just cracked a joke.“You want the toilets cleaned, huh…” Kevin took his mobile out and dialed a number.“What are you doing?” Brielle raised an eyebrow.“Hello, this is Kevin. I need you to come inside now,” Kevin said and then ended the call.“Who are you calling?” Brielle asked.“Wait and you’ll see for yourself,” Kev
CHAPTER 93
“You must be really tired. Let’s get you to your room,” Cecilia held Kevin’s hand and took him up like he was a kid.Of course, she didn’t carry him in his arms, but the care she showed was enough to upset Brielle.Once Cecilia entered Kevin’s room, she sat down. “You said you want to do the cleaning service for free for the first time, but that will make people exploit you.”“But it will get many eyes turned toward the company,” Kevin reasoned.“Yeah, but it’s a harmful practice,” Cecilia opined. “Instead of giving it away completely for free, how about doing this? You’ll do the first cleaning for free, but you’ll ask the customers to pay for a quarter of the second and third time cleaning service now itself. And that initial fee will be half of your service cost.”“Mm…” Kevin thought about it. “This way, you’re still giving away the service for half the price for the first-time customers. But if they use the service for the second and third time, they would get a twenty five percent
CHAPTER 94
Kevin’s whole soul froze.From the outside, it looked like he just froze, but on the inside, he felt the exact opposite.His heart shook like a volcano deep in the earth.“What’s wrong?” Cecilia came over and took the mobile from him. But she didn’t look at the mobile screen. “Why do you look like you stepped on poop?”“C-Cecilia, why is his image on your mobile?” Kevin asked.“Whose image?” Cecilia pressed the power button, and she got the shock of her life.When the smiling, dashing picture of Jack Shamus popped up on the screen, her hand shook.And the mobile dropped.“W-What? Why is his image on my mobile?” She looked shocked and confused.“That’s what I’m asking,” Kevin’s expression turned serious. “His image became your screensaver without you knowing?”“Huh?” Cecilia frowned. “You think I saved his image as my wallpaper? Are you crazy? Why would I do that?”Kevin gritted his teeth. “Did you give your mobile to anyone recently?”Cecilia thought about it, but she didn’t remember
CHAPTER 95
At a 21-story luxury hotel called Angel Rise.A BMW stopped outside.The driver opened the car, and Jack stepped out, wearing a T-shirt and shorts. The guards bowed as he entered the hotel.The receptionists also greeted him with smiles and deep bows.The manager of the hotel personally escorted Jack to the top floor.Jack entered the hall that looked like a meeting hall.All of his partners and friends were gathered here, but some of them were disappointed because Jack’s attire was unprofessional.One of these people was Brielle’s eldest son, Dabby. His company built construction materials, and he recently got introduced to a few investors by Jack, so he joined the circle of Jack’s friends and was hoping to make use of Jack’s company.Jack sat down in his chair and put his feet on the table, without even removing the sandals.Nobody said anything, though most people looked uncomfortable because they were all multi-millionaires and billionaires.A group of maids brought tea and served
CHAPTER 96
After the meeting ended, Dabby was the only one who was told to stay.Everybody else left the hall, not in a hurry but in a calm, controlled walk, while putting on professional fronts.Dabby was growing nervous to sit alone in the vast hall with none but Jack with him.He couldn’t even guess how Jack would treat him now. What if Jack were to hit him or humiliate him?All kinds of crazy thoughts made him feel uneasy.He drank water from the glass and took a deep breath. But it wasn’t helping.He took out a cigar packet. “May I?”Jack nodded slightly.Dabby took a few whiffs and breathed better. He then squashed the cigar underfoot. “Sorry for that.”“It’s okay. Everybody is addicted to something,” Jack said, smiling. “Smoking and drinking helps us forget parts of ourselves we don’t want to deal with.”Dabby couldn’t tell if Jack was complimenting him or criticizing him.“May I ask why you particularly love my sister when there are so many better qualified women out there?” Dabby hesita
CHAPTER 97
At O’Brian mansion.Orland, Brielle and others were all sitting out at the swimming pools which were joined together.Naomi and Sadia were just sunbathing in bikinis, whereas their husbands were competing in swimming.Orland looked at the construction contract and was all smiles. “This is big. The total highway contract could be anywhere between five to six billion dollars. If Dabby does it right, he’ll have his hands full for the next three years. His company’s revenue will be doubled.”“Heh,” Brielle just smirked. “Jack is doing this much even though he’s not received any attention from our daughter. This just shows how much he’s attracted to her.”“I think we should do something to have them meet often,” Orland opined.“I tried. I sent Cecilia to a dance academy,” Brielle explained. “I wanted to update Jack about that, but the whole thing was ruined by Kevin. It’s as if he knows what I’m doing.”“He’s a tough guy. I’ll give him that,” Orland said, “not because he bought a cleaning
CHAPTER 98
At Cecilia’s company.Cecilia was busy with work until she received a video clip from Naomi.The news clip from Rory News really shook Cecilia, not with shock but with anger because the news channel labeled him ‘boobgrabber.’Cecilia used her connections and found out the number of the anchor.She called the anchor, but the anchor didn’t lift her call.Cecilia talked with the director of the company and directed her call straight to the ear-piece the anchor was wearing on live.“Listen to me, you little shit,” Cecilia said. “I know you’re just a mouth piece for the news channel, but you should not have agreed to do the show when that so-called molested victim did not have any proof. Do you feel great after attempting to ruin the image of someone who risked his life to save people from a burning bus?”“I-I just did my job.”“I don’t give a shit about what you have to say. If you don’t actively pursue this woman and either make her prove her claims or make her admit that she was just jo
CHAPTER 99
Kevin was busy creating the prototype for Jordan Wang.The sales on the second day after advertising increased from 112 to 160.But he didn’t seem that happy as he couldn’t forget Brielle’s words.Last night when he told her about the record sales, she casually dismissed him, saying, “You spent 400K on ads, and you only managed to sell 112 units? That’s an abysmal failure.”Kevin didn’t tell her about the sales of other products.The toilet papers, toilet brushes and deodorizers also saw a great boost in sales.But Kevin did not bother telling Brielle that as he believed that she would once more disregard his efforts.“She never praised me for my work. She always tries to find fault in me. Unlike her, Cecilia tells me both the good and the bad. She always motivated me to do better. She used to do that in secret before, but now, she’s showing her feelings more.”He smiled as he remembered how she refused to kiss him because he hadn’t kissed her prior to that. He found her angry face cu
CHAPTER 100
Later that night.All the O’Brian family members went to a grand party arranged by Jack Shamus.The whole family was invited, and Brielle ordered Cecilia to come. She initially refused, but when Kevin said he’d be attending the party, too, she agreed to come along.All the big millionaires and billionaires were invited to the party because Jack had bought multiple companies of varied industries. From finance companies and movie studios to news channels and consultancy agencies, he became the majority shareholder in many big companies.Just a casual estimate of his worth would cross a hundred billion dollars now.Nobody understood where Jack got so much money from, but everybody was intimidated by his growth.Even the tax officials came to the party to show their support to Jack.The party was held on a mega cruise ship he had bought for 1.5 billion dollars. There were hundreds of models and dozens of famous celebrities roaming around the ship.Cecilia had attended many grand parties,
