Helen quickly entered the driver’s seat, parked the limo in one of the designated lanes, and entered the building. When Blake and the girls arrived at their table, they happily acquainted themselves more with Helen.“So, Helen, where did you work before you drove for Lotus Suites?” Tabitha asked casually.“I was a delivery person for Express Delivery.”“Oh, so you worked with Blake back then,” Claire said, eyeing her more cautiously.“Yes, but we weren’t acquainted. We had different work schedules, but we occasionally greeted each other.” Helen said shyly. Back then, she needed a paycheck, so socializing was not on her priority list.After ordering, the conversation became small talk, and the meal came.“I would never have thought I would eat here,” Helen confessed.“Oh? Why?” Tabitha asked, looking more at her meal than her.“Well, it’s embarrassing, but the cost is not in my budget,” Helen admitted.“Are Carol and Betty not paying enough?” Blake asked, taking a sip from his drink.“
One was black with a V-neck low cut that would clearly show more cleavage and only came to mid-thigh. The other was a deep red with a shallower V-neck and came down to her knees. Blake looked upon both and placed his hand on his chin. Then gave his answer. “The black for Claire and the red for Tabitha. The wife has to match the husband.” Blake gave his answer and left the room, wiping the cold sweat off his brow and hearing the giggling from the other side of the door. As Blake stood there, the door to Julie’s room cracked open, and a faint sound came from it. “Blake, could you come in? I need your help.” “Blake went into the room and found Julie in a baby blue dress, U-necked, and went down to her mid-thigh. Her zipper for the back was undone, and he could tell she needed help with it. Blake then went to her and slowly sipped the gown that hugged her body’s curves. “Thank you, Blake. Look, I might not be the perfect mother, but I love my daughters. They are all I have, and I want
Blake left the kitchen with a smile, and when he exited, he was met by Julie. “Blake, what did you mean that there are no branches in your family?” “My meaning is there are none. My grandfather is the only child in the Elon family of the Capital, and he is retired in the countryside. My father was his firstborn, making me the first and eldest grandson, and Sylvia is from my adopted third uncle’s family. My second uncle’s son is Jake Elon, the acting CEO of Elon Conglomerate in my stead.” Blake explained, but looking at Julie, all color escaped her face, and she was about to collapse if Blake didn’t capture her into his arms and carry her to the couch. Blake immediately placed spirit qi into her to calm her down. “What’s the matter with mother?” Tabitha asked, walking in at that time and putting her earrings on. “She has had a shock, is all,” Blake said as he continued to ease her shock through his qi circulating through Julie, making her very comfortable. “You told her your identi
“Let’s think of it this way. Remember how I was in the beginning as a delivery guy?”“Yes.”“The Carlson family is me, and the Elon family is the Elon family back then,” Blake explained.Wide-eyed, Julie looked at Blake. Then a loving smile was seen on her face.”“You know, Blake, if you would ever be interested in an experienced woman.” Julie began seductively.“Mother!” Both daughters exclaimed.“Just joking, goodness, just look at you two, and wasn’t it Tabitha’s idea in the first place?”“Again, let’s discuss this at a later date,” Blake said, feeling a cold sweat forming on his brow.‘How did it become like this?’ Blake thought to himself.The limo came to a screeching halt, and everyone was jolted into place.“Sorry, sir, but a van blocks the road up ahead,” Helen said apologetically.“It’s fine. You all stay in the car.” Blake said with a smile to calm them down.Blake left the car alone and observed the van in front of them. There was screeching, and another came behind them,
“No, that would displease my angels here. Leave this to me.” Blake answered him. “Get back into the car while I clear this up.”The sisters nodded and reentered the limo, and closed the door.“Lord, please, my services are at your command, and my organization can be at your beck and call. We are the most sought-after organization in the mercenary field.” The bald man said, still looking at the ground.“Okay, get up. I can’t stand you talking to the ground and not at me,” Blake said, irritated.With his head still lowered, the bald man slowly got up and placed his hands before him like a child being scolded.“Okay, can you get the bounty removed?” Blake asked. He needed it removed, or there would be troubles.The bald man furrowed his brow in contemplation and then finally nodded.“Okay, what is the name of your mercenary organization?” Blake finally asked.“We are the Mid-Easter Mercenary Organization.” The bald man proudly said.“Are you affiliated with the Mid-Eastern Alliance?” Bla
They were guided to a table not too far from the entrance to the gazebo, where Sylvia had her encounter with Steve Anderson. When they were in the eyesight of Lucas and Olivia, their eyes became wide.‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Lucas asked himself.“Honey, I thought you had taken care of him?” Olivia asked, whispering through clenched teeth as she placed a fake smile on the group.“I don’t know. They promised results by the end of today, maybe later?” Lucas whispered back.“Welcome, Julie, Claire, and Tabitha,” Lucas said, waving them to have a seat. “Please sit, oh I’m so sorry I didn’t know that you were also arriving. We don’t have enough chairs or room. Why don’t you and your guests have another table?” Lucas said and turned to the maître d’.“I’m sorry, sir, but we are already booked. There are no other tables available for the duration of the night.” The maître d’ said with an apologetic look.Blake looked around, and there were several empty tables around. He smiled and casually
“The CEO of Elon Trust? Is he coming here?” William asked, looking pleased. They had wanted to get to know the CEO of Elon Trust for a merger deal that would bring the Carlton family into the social, economic masses.“Yes. Miss. Susan Writtle, here is his assistant waiting on the meal.” Blake said, looking at William to answer his question.“Miss. Writtle, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Benjamin Carlson.” Benjamin reintroduced himself again.“Yes, I know. You introduced yourself earlier. Do you normally repeat yourself?” Susan asked with disdain in her voice.“No, no, I do not.”“Uhum,” Susan said, then looked at Blake. “Sir, did he not just do it again?”“Why, Miss. Writtle, I do recollect that he did, and it’s a nasty habit when doing business. Furthermore, standing at someone’s table is very rude.” Blake said with a smile towards Susan.Seeing that they were being played, Benjamin became upset and was fuming as Claire and Tabitha tried to stop their giggling over the events.“For you
“Uhm, excuse me, but the CEO will arrive shortly.” Susan interrupted the two brothers.This person is the CEO of Elon Trust, so low-key that no one knows his true identity. Everyone was excited about meeting him for the first time, and even Julie was a little anxious about meeting him.There was a commotion when a man in a white suit entered the building holding some documents. Mr. Sam Wheaton arrived and waited at the door to welcome the CEO of Elon Trust. A handsome man walked in with his hair flowing as a breeze passed, but there was no wind in the building; his aura was that of a warrior and showed dominance over everyone. The onlookers were shocked by the scene before them. This was the same man that was shot and dragged away. He made his way to the shocked and confused Lucas’s party.“Sorry, I’m late. I had the damndest thing happen. Someone tried to shoot my mother-in-law. But rest assured, the culprit didn’t get too far. Now where the hell is our waiter?” Blake looked around w
