Chapter 67
Chapter 67“Do you have any appointment with him?” She added.Charlie shook his head. “No, I don’t.”The receptionist scanned him from his head down to his toes, slightly getting irritated. “I’m sorry but you can’t see him,” she responded, her voice carrying finality.“Why?”“That’s because the manager has nothing to do with someone like you.” Her voice was laced with disgust. “He’s a business-minded person so what possible business plan do you want to discuss with him?” Slowly, she pointed toward the exit door as if giving him a piece of advice. “I’ll urge you to kindly use the exit door before security guards do so.”Charlie’s face contorted into a tight frown instantly. Without warning, he slammed his hand on the desk. “I said I want to see the manager and you are asking me to leave?”His nose flared up with anger, fists clenched. “Where the hell is that bastard? I want to see him. Call him here. Now!” He barked out.The receptionist startled, body vibrating at the sudden outburst
Chapter 66
Chapter 66Duke raised an eyebrow, clearly not getting what Charlie was saying. “What do you mean? That you’re going inside so the manager can give you back your salary? How?”To him, if the manager should be working in a place like this then he must really be powerful. How then does Charlie intend to get back his salary?He blinked, the whole thing seeming strange to him. “You can’t be serious, are you?” He asked.Charlie nodded firmly. “No, I’m not joking. I’m serious.”His jaw clenched as he started to explain. “I worked hard for that money and I can’t let it go just like that. I won’t let him have it to himself. We deserve to be paid for the work we did.”His voice turned cold. “I will get all the money today and if he dares to act stubborn and not comply then I will be left with no other option but to make him regret it.”There was something dark in his eyes as he said that.Duke saw it and he just looked fixedly. There was something totally different in Charlie.The way he just
Chapter 65
Chapter 65 Before she could approach her father, Miller raised his hand, stopping her. “Stop right there!” He warned, his eyes blazing with rage. “What’s all this doing in this house? Occupying space?”“But Dad, that’s one of my items. Just bought it yesterday and you’ve destroyed it,” June burst out, her eyes wet with tears. She knew how much it cost her to get that. And now it has been destroyed in just a blink of an eye. “Why do you have to be doing this to me? Why, Dad?” She sobbed, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Am I your daughter? Why don’t you let me chase my career in peace? Why don’t you allow me to do what I love doing? Why keep interfering?”“Career, you say?” Miller scoffed. “What kind of career is it being a TikToker or whatever you call it? Since you started it, for three to four years or so, what tangible result have you gotten? What can you hold onto? Or is it sitting down or standing up making hell of noises in the house all in the name of going live? What else do
Chapter 64
Chapter 64June paused, her pulse racing at the vibration of the voice. She turned around immediately, recognizing the voice. A frown plastered on her face as she took in the figure properly. “He’s back so soon,” she hissed, a hint of annoyance brimming within her. “You didn’t tell me he was coming back too soon,” June leaned and whispered only for her mother to hear. Her mother looked at her and sighed. She shrugged. “Had no idea he was coming back today as well. Wasn’t informed.” She replied with a soft sigh.“Please, don’t cause any scene today. Just do as he says, okay?”June’s brows just knitted, but she didn’t answer her mother a word. Meanwhile, her mother just exhaled, her heaved chest dropping. Finally, she put herself together before striding forward, flashing a warming smile. At the door entrance stood a man in his late forties, dressed in a well-ironed, black suit with a white tie fastened around his neck. He was carrying an office bag in his left hand, his other one
Chapter 63
Chapter 63“I doubt if you truly won a lottery, Charlie. Please, be honest.” Duke took a step closer. “I'm your friend, I won't let anyone know about this. What's happening?" He asked, his voice soft and barely above a whisper.His gaze held Charlie's firmly.Charlie didn't blink, his gaze locked in, his mind considering whether to tell Duke the truth or not. “Please, talk to me, Charlie. Everything about you recently changed. What's going on?” Duke added, snapping him from his consideration. Charlie exhaled, finally winking his eyes. “Mmm—” Just as he opened his mouth to answer, a sharp noise erupted in the room, disrupting the moment. It was Charlie's phone that was ringing.Charlie shifted slightly, his eyes darting down towards his pocket. “Please, excuse me. Got a call."Duke didn't say a word as he watched Charlie gently reach his finger into his pocket, pulling out his phone. Pulling it out, Charlie glanced briefly at Duke before finally swiping the screen up. “Hello? Wh
Chapter 62: Duke doubts and Suspects Charlie
Chapter 62The door creaked open and closed behind them as they stepped into his apartment. Charlie pointed as he addressed Duke. “Sit right here, I'll be back.” He made Duke sit down on his bed before walking toward his worn-out cupboard to retrieve something.Just a few minutes later, Charlie returned, carrying a nylon bag. He sat beside Duke, who was excitedly browsing through his new phone.He gave a soft smile as he observed Duke's expression. “Seems like you're in love with your new phone already." Duke looked up. “Definitely!" He nodded. “It's a nice device and I'm glad everything happened the way it did. Because that Samsung phone of mine was showing some faulty signs." His gaze then scanned the room, concern and worry in his eyes as he set down his phone on the bed. "Charlie,” he called softly."Yes.” Charlie raised an eyebrow, holding his gaze.Duke shifted closer to him. "I'm sorry you're living in a place like this," he started, his voice carrying emotion. His gaze shi
