Lily's face stretched into a smile as she continued. “ Without Mike, we all would have been in big trouble ” Lily said, as she gestured for Mike to come out Murmurs of disapproval erupted in the room as Mike rose from his chair,strutting towards the center of the room, a smug smile sampled on his face. “What of Mr. Baron ? Didn't you see the way Mr Karim respected and pleaded with him?isn't it clear that Mr Karim spared us because of him? One of the guest voiced out, causing the rest to nod in affirmation They all had watched everything unfold, and it was clear who caused Mr Karim to kneel and bow In surrender. Lily's face scrunched up in utter disgust as she watched her friends take sides with Andrew “Common you guys, don't tell me you believe that? Remember I was married to that punk for 3 years and I know how deceitful he is and he used that same trick on Mr. Karim” Lily announced, causing a loud gasp to echo in the room, as everyone snapped their gazes to Andrew When Lily s
As Andrew and Benita drove home in silence, Benita decided to voice out what had been on her mind even before they went for the party. “Andrew, I'm thinking of moving back to Nashville” Benita announced, breaking the silence between them. “Really?”Andrew raised his eyebrows questioningly his eyes still focused on the road “Yes, I want my assistant, Anna, to be incharge of the ceal vile branch. While I move here to take care of the new branch . You know I have been wanting to move, I think now is the best time ”. She said, her heart up in her throat because there was still something she wanted to ask of him “That's a nice idea and I think there are more opportunities here in Nashville”Andrew said, nodding his head in approval “Uhmm… actually there is something else I want to ask from you” Benita said In a low tone “Go on, I'm all ears”Andrew urged , taking a quick glance at Benita “You know…. I'm still sorting out some stuff, so I can't really focus on house hunting
The next day, Andrew, dressed in his plain polo and jeans, and drove to cassmic mall to get the imported toy he promised Winnie months ago. He was naturally in a good mood because he knew the day was going to be a good one, so for the first time In a while, his face was bright, void of its usually cold countenance. As he got to the mall, he packed his car and headed inside, thankfully the cue wasn't much, so he joined, waiting for his turn. When it got to his turn, he walked to the front of the counter “ Welcome sir how can I help you?” the blonde attendant asked politely “ I'm here to pick up the Kariton dollhouse castle” Andrew said, stretching out his card to the blonde lady “The kariton dollhouse?! ” The attendant repeated after him, her eyes slightly widening in shock and surprise. She couldn't believe her ears or was it her eyes? Since yesterday the kariton dollhouse arrived, the workers in the mall had been on their toes, waiting to see the owner of the most expensive to
The moment those words fell out from the woman's lips, Andrew furrowed his brow in annoyance , he couldn't believe that this was the silly reason this woman had called him. To waste his time?! “If you want the dollhouse, you'd have to place an order, that's how it's done. If this is the reason you called, then I see no reason to remain here” Andrew said casually, turning his back to leave but immediately, two burly men jumped to his front, blocking his path Mrs Choi rose to her feet, her eyes flashing with anger as she glowered at Andrew “So,you think because I brought myself so low to talk to you, you think you can vomit rubbish in front of me, right? Are you insane?!” She yelled, drawing the attention of the people close by, as they started to gather round, curious to know what was going on. Andrew ignored the raging woman as he faced the two men blocking his path “Do your self the favour and get out of my way this minute! ”he sneered, but the men remained in the same posi
Mrs Choi’s face stretched into a sinister smile the moment she saw her husband walk in, she instantly squeezed her face, feighing hurt. “Honey, I asked this fool here to call his boss and inform him that I am willing to pay triple for the kariton dollhouse, because I want to get it for Chicago. Without reason, he started insulting and calling me names, and when Hunter confronted him, he attempted to fight him” “How dare you? Do you know who you are dealing with? Infact, who is your boss?!”Mr. Choi sneered in annoyance, staring down at Andrew in disgust “I don't have a boss”Andrew replied nonchalantly, holding his gaze to that of Mr. Choi who was in return, glaring at him with contempt. “You have some silly guts to dare stand in front of me and spit nonsense! Do you think a filthy thing like you is worthy of being in my presence? ”Mr Choi bellowed, staring at Andrew with disgust “Hunter take pictures of this bastard, he would be blacklisted in this city and beyond. I won't
“Who on earth are you?” Mr Choi asked tentatively, his lips quivering in fear as the CEO's words replayed in his head“Mr Choi, the A and U group will revoke its endorsement for your campaign. It's an order from the chairman, he said a man like you is not qualified to be an assemblyman”Those words continued to echo in Mr Choi's head but he refused to accept the possible truth that was gnawing at his heart. “ How come the CEO said the exact same thing this man had just said to his face a few minutes ago?”“Does his endorsement getting revoked have anything to do with this man ? Is he the chairman of A and U Group? ” he muttered,his mind going rampage with questions.He pondered on the incidents surrounding what just happened, he noticed this man typed something into his phone and said some words to him, and in less than a minute, the CEO of A and U group called to repeat the same words this man had said to him earlier. “This was far more than a coincidence”he thought, slowly raising
It was Mr Choi, on his knees, begging this same man “Sir please have mercy, I'm ready to do whatever you want ”Mr. Choi begged. At this point, he had ditched any lingering pride he had left, after all, if A and U group persists on revoking their endorsement, the pride was of no use anymore because he would drop to the bottom. He had so many enemies waiting to devour him once he stepped out from his protection under the A and U groups. Mrs Choi, still confused about what was happening, furiously glared at her husband, her eyes blazing with shame, anger, confusion, all at once “Why are you doing this? It would ruin your campaign and.. Mr Choi furiously snapped his murderous gaze to Mrs Choi , his teeth clenching in anger “You witch, you caused this, there is no campaign anymore! “W.. W.. What do you mean?” Mrs Choi stuttered in shock, her countenance falling flat instantly.“ That call I received was from A and U group, they called to tell me that they had revoked their endorsemen
Andrew hesitated for a little while , conflicted on whether to go meet Mr Devon, although he was curious to know why Mr Devon was requesting to see him, but at same time, he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to spend as much time as he had planned to, with his daughter . Deciding to go on with this earlier decision, he turned to face the averaged height man who was standing beside him with his hands tucked into his pockets “Go tell your boss that I am not ….. “Well, his boss is here” Mr. Devon cut in from behind taking off his shades“ If the mountain won't come to you, you must go to the mountain, right? He teased, a small smile playing on his lips “ I am Devon Amante” he introduced, stretching out his hands to Andrew “Andrew Baron”Andrew replied curtly, stretching out his hands to take Mr Devon’s outstretched arms “To what do I owe this pleasure Mr. Devon?” he said, cutting straight to the point “I see, you are an impatient one.This will be fast, but I'm sure you already know
