Another Angle
“Exactly my thoughts when I saw him…” Dara added with a whisper, turning to the two employees who aired their views. “I think everyone should be quiet. I am about to call Mr. Regal. The real CEO needs to know that someone is trying to steal from me.” Victor grunted after scrolling for a while, then he lifted an eyebrow. “Where the hell is that number? I thought I had it…” “Check the website,” Brian said calmly, causing a low spread of awe to spread across the space. “You are right. I will do that right away.” Victor nodded, then he realized. “Wait…” He withdrew his eyes from the screen and returned it to Brian. “You just made your downfall easier. Is that how stupid you are?” “He is truly a fool…” A male employee snarled, then he sniggered while staring at Brian.Brian sighed heavily, turning from one person to the other.He could see Sarah’s countenance switching, but he didn’t mind. He turned to Victor, urging him silently. “Go ahead. Do as you wish. The number i
The Right CEO
Brian remained calm even when the guards bowed to him, his expression still stoic.Victor continued shaking, almost losing his breath. The silence was gradually killing him, his eyes staring desperately while he struggled with the uncertainty that stung him. When Brian turned to him, his heart sank deeper into his chest, and suddenly, it felt like his jacket no longer fit.He thought of removing it, but it seemed like it was going to be a lot of work.“Say something, Mr. Regal.” He pleaded, his voice gripped by nervousness.He looked around, and it became obvious he was alone.The employees hated him, especially for his arrogance which seemed to have suddenly vanished. He turned to Sarah, but she looked away before he could even attempt to seek her intervention. Left alone, he returned his eyes to Brian, unsure of his fate. “Say something,” He pleaded with his eyes, his breath still unsteady. Brian gave him a fierce stare, looking at him deeply. “There is nothing to
Flirty Lady
The two ladies sighed heavily the moment they saw Brian walking away. They were certain their jobs were still safe, placing their hands on their chest. “You two are very lucky. You would have been thinking of the next job to apply.” Dara broke the silence, rolling her eyes at the ladies.She was the first to move away, then the rest followed, returning to their duty posts. Meanwhile, Sarah couldn’t take her eyes off Brian, staring with a coy smile while they marched along the hallway.The few minutes they spent in the elevator was in silence, but Brian could still see the lady struggling to keep her hands to herself. “I am glad I decided to come to Lakeville myself. I almost didn’t agree to come when my father told me about this.” She let Brian lead the way as soon as they walked out of the elevator, then she followed closely. Brian increased his pace and she did the same.He walked into the office of the CEO and sat down quietly while Sarah made herself comfortable on
Free Ride
“Yes…” Brian nodded, staring with inquisition.“Do you know her?” He asked, but it took a while for Sarah to respond.“I think you are lying to me, Brian. There is no way you are married to Arya Kirk. We could have heard about it.” “Oh…” Brian was lost for words, showing no interest to proving anything to the lady. A few seconds later, his phone rang, and he had to look at the screen. A smile appeared on his face as soon as he saw who was calling, causing him to grab the phone from the table quickly.“It’s my wife.” He announced to Sarah, causing her to stare at the phone with immediate effect. “Hello, Dear.” Brian made sure his voice was audible enough, staring at the lady seated across the table.Sarah on the other hand felt taunted, and she couldn’t hide her annoyance.She angrily watched Brian as he spoke to Arya over the phone, chuckling and smiling as though she was standing right in front of him.Sarah was irritated, anger surging through her bloodstream. But sh
College Mates
Arya tried to pretend as though she didn’t see the lady inside the same car Brian had stepped out of, but the feeling was too intense for her to ignore.So she waited, staring as Brian walked up to her.“Hello, Wifey!” Brian tried to embrace her, but she blocked him with her hands, followed by a frown. “What is it?” Brian asked calmly, pretending not to know the reason for the awkward treatment.“Who is she?” Arya stared through the windshield of the white car without blinking, demanding an immediate response.“Who is that lady you were in the car with?”“Oh…” Brian took a deep breath, then he turned to the car, two seconds before Arya returned her gaze to him. “That’s Sarah Hopkins. I just finished a meeting with her. She even said she knows you…”“Sarah Hopkins?” Arya repeated the name as though it was a taboo, her voice low but heavy.“What’s she doing in Lakeville?” She grunted, eyes returning to the car. “How come you didn’t even tell me about your meeting with her?”
Most Expensive
“Why not?” Brian asked calmly, bemusement etched in his face.Arya on the other hand arched her brows, and it took a while before she broke her silence.“I am sure you heard when she mentioned that we attended the same college, Brian…”“Yes. So?” Brian was still trying to understand why Arya seemed so bothered, looking her in the eyes. “We are not going, Brian. Sarah already thinks that our marriage is not real. Going to that event will only give her the chance to dig deeper. You have only met her, Brian. I have known her for years. She is a witch.”Brian chuckled softly, causing Arya to frown.It seemed as though he didn’t understand the sobriety of what the lady was trying to explain to him, his smile expressing unseriousness. “Listen to me, Arya…” He broke the silence with a calm voice, then he pushed closer. “Choosing not to attend the event will only raise eyebrows. I have heard of how desperate Mr. Hopkins can be, and I am sure his daughter will be just like him . nos
Sean Again
Arya was dumbfounded, staring at Brian with her eyes wide open.Then she scoffed, grunting while she still kept her eyes on him.“Are you serious, Brian? Did you just ask me that?” Brian took a deep breath, then he waited for a while before he gave her a response. “I just made an order, Arya. I am sure you knew we were coming here to eat when you invited me to this place.”“Yes. But I didn’t know that you were going to order the most expensive food and drink here…” Arya argued, then she paused, looking around slowly.She took a deep breath, then she continued in a lower tone. “I know I asked you to come here, Brian. But I don’t think you did the right thing by ordering such an expensive meal. I can’t be going around, spending so much money. Grandpa will not be happy with…”“And who said you are the one paying?” Brian cut her short, a wry smile on his face.Arya lowered her gaze, then dropped her expression. She cleared her throat just before she sighed heavily. “You wa
The Actress
“I don’t appreciate you talking to my wife like that, Sean Peters.” Brian expressed his annoyance, looking up at Sean with burning eyes.“I am sure you didn’t know we were here before you arrived. You are probably here to get something to eat. I think you should focus on that.” Sean nodded slowly, wry smile intact.“You are correct.” He affirmed with a nod, staring Brian in the face.“I am here for a meeting. With someone of the same class as me. Davina Whitestone. You should know her.” He turned to Arya, looking her deep in the eyes. Arya tried, but she couldn’t hide her recognition, lifting her left eyebrow.Sean chuckled softly, a flush of satisfaction running through his system.“Of course. Who wouldn’t know the actress, Davina Whitestone? She is one of the most popular women in this City.” Arya looked away, facing Brian whose countenance seemed to be giving her comfort. “You know…” Sean refused to leave, having so much fun with what he was doing. “Davina and I are
Davina, the Diva
“Only an actor would think he can keep a woman as beautiful as Arya. You probably think this is a movie.” Sean snorted, eyes burning with disdain. “Go ahead and apply for a role in her new movie. I will put in a word or two for you. Maybe you can finally be able to afford to pay for you food and not rely on a woman just like you relied on your wife to get you a job at Apex Ventures. Now you are relying on Arya to feed you.” He laughed again, but with a lower tone. Anger simmered inside Brian, prompting him to grunt.His clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. “Oh…” Sean made a sorry face, laced with ridicule.“Did I open a healing wound?” He taunted, then a snigger followed. “Mr. Peters?” A female voice called out, and the three of them turned to see Davina standing close to Sean.She was finally done with the attention from the crowd, standing tall and still ready for more. From a closer look, the beauty of her short white gown could be seen clearer, t
Prove a Point
Sean nodded happily, pride crawling into his body.“I am glad you think so highly of me, Davina.” He said as though he had given her any other choice, then he faced Brian. “I believe you heard everything she said, Brian. Just divorce her already and stop being a pest in her life.” “But I never came complaining to you, Sean!” Arya fired, breathing in annoyance. She turned to Davina, glaring deeply at her.“Those were terrible things to say about my husband. I pick offense at them.” “Oh…” Davina was speechless, but her eyes said so much.There was absolutely no look of remorse on her face, and she looked like she was about to say more.Turning to Brian, she scoffed, the same disdain boldly written all over her face. “You know…” She sniggered, then she paused as though she was waiting for him to be prepared for the venom she was about to unleash. “I heard of how you got married to Miss Arya Kirk. You thought no one was going to find out, right? But we know all about the a
