With shock, Claire looked at Sylvia with a calm deminer like she didn’t say anything wrong. Then looked at Blake with stern eyes. To think she was about to kiss this man seeing another woman. “Alright, alright, could you please explain yourself more thoroughly to them because the way you just explained it sounds wrong? It’s a business deal that Sylvia and myself were coming up with to present to Elon Trust, and we’re not intimate with each other. If the partnership is successful, the fruits of our labor will bear a business worth millions. If you will excuse me, I have meals almost ready.” Blake explained before walking back into the kitchen, shaking his head. Julie felt that something was still amiss and didn’t back down in her mind. She could see Sylvia’s intimacy with Blake, and this explanation did not convince her. All she could do was sit back down in an huph. Claire then sat beside her and whispered about how Sylvia was the only way into Elon Trust for the investment to be suc
“Payment in full. Don’t forget our deal.” As she made her way out of the kitchen, Claire mouth a thank you to her mother as she walked by. Julie was surprised at what she had witnessed.“What is going on? Tell me this minute young lady.” Julie asked Claire as she followed her out of the kitchen.Blake could not understand this. He had her right where he wanted her but failed in the execution. So he only shook his head and continued with his chores.When he finished his chores, he came into the living room and claimed he would send Sylvia and himself to a hotel to give Tabitha time with her family, not wanting to spend the night on the couch. Julie just stared at him, but she held her tongue for the sake of her daughter’s investment.Claire, her mother, and Tabitha walked Blake and Sylvia out. Julie’s eyes widened when she saw the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of the villa and wondered who had parked their luxurious car there. She didn’t have to wait long when she heard the whop
Hearing Blake’s conversation, she knew that there would be trouble. Betty quickly got up to Blake and told him what was happening; she was only a receptionist and feared for her job.“Blake, the truth is the room is being occupied right now by my boss, the manager Mr. Leastwise. He’s entertaining a female friend right now.” Said Betty with her head down, looking at the floor, not having the courage to look at Blake.“Did you hear that, Mr. Wheaton?”“Yes, I’m on my way. I should arrive within five minutes, and it’s on my way home.”“Good, I shall await your arrival.” Blake then hung up his phone and put it away.Hearing the conversation, Betty knew that this would not end well. Who didn’t know who Mr. Wheaton was? She lifted her head to look at Blake when she noticed the jade ring on his hand. Her pupils contracted with fear, and her heart thumped violently. Pure shock and fear were shown on her face. Company policy was that whosoever wore this ring held Sovern overall the businesses
“Now. Now, Mr. Manager, you haven’t seen the whole situation and are threatening me with measly security. Mr. Weaston doesn’t even dare to speak to me that way.” Said Blake walking towards Mr. Leastwise.“Sir. He’s Mr. Blake…” Betty started to explain to the manager but was cut off by Mr. Leastwise.“I don’t care who he is. He’s trespassing on Elon’s property and interfering in my business. Let’s see how capable he is after I call my men.” Mr. Leastwise ignored Betty.The manager then took his phone from his robe and called his security team directly. Smirking, the manager stood there like an emperor waiting on the deaths of peasants as he gazed upon them. Soon footsteps were heard rushing over to the room, and five built men in black suits came in and bowed to Mr. Leastwise.“Kill that man and leave the woman. He’s invaded our territory and seeks death.” Mr. Leastwise said in a superior tone.Blake walked in front of Betty and held his ground. Even without the spiritual power, these
Sara was also shocked, seeing the bodyguards on the floor, Mr. Leastwise in a bathrobe, and two men escorting Mr. Wheaton out of the room. She knew him instantly. He was in the news earlier announcing the new CEO of Elon Trust was changing.“Sylvia, take the two women out of here with Mr. Wheaton and wait for me outside,” Blake said with a murderous tone looking dead at Stan Leastwise.Sylvia guided the women out of the room, taking Mr. Wheaton. Upon leaving, they could only hear Mr. Leastwise shouting that he was a man of the Syrum Syndicate before the door was closed by the remaining bodyguards.“Will Blake be alright? How can he fight against the Syrum Syndicate? Why don’t we call the police and have them handle it?” Sara said as they went to the lobby.“He’ll be fine, and I trust his judgment. He won’t do anything that he can’t handle. The police can’t handle anything with the Syrum Syndicate and will be no help.” Sylvia said in response to Sara’s questions. Sylvia had already kno
The three women walked to Mr. Wheaton and enquired about the situation.“Is Blake going to be alright? Did you explain what happened? How could this have escalated to have the Prince show up personally?” Sara asked, feeling anxious for Blake. This was all happening because of her; how could she not feel anxious?“Don’t you worry, Blake is going to be okay? If the outcome is not to his liking, he will definitely have a plan, and I assure you he will come out of this unscathed.” Sylvia said, putting her hand on Sara’s shoulder, giving her support.Blake had heard the testimony of Mr. Leastwise in the room when a dozen men in black walked in, followed by a young man. He gave off an aura of superiority over his domain, stopped in front of Blake, looked him over, and then gestured to shake his hand.“Savior, I presume.”Taking the young man’s hand and shaking it, Blake then spoke. “Blake Elon, call me Blake, we’re of the same age, and I’m still not used to the formalities.”Liking this man
“I do remember you. We played together, but you suddenly didn’t show back up. I grew up, and I’m afraid my mind is not what it used to be, reliving childhood memories. As Sylvia said, you must have been through a terrible shock. I know you dwell by yourself, and tonight is not a night to be alone. Stay with Sylvia, and tomorrow I’ll treat you to breakfast; how does that sound?” Blake said with a smile.Both women nodded in agreement, and Blake turned his attention to Betty, who had not said a word throughout this process due to her involvement with the previous manager.“Betty, will you please see that these ladies have that room with the two queen beds and have someone arrange new sheets for my room?” Blake asked with a warm smile.Betty rushed over to the terminal and started typing the information. To her surprise, the previous room was booked online while everything was going on, and there were no other rooms available. Blake saw her surprised expression and came over to her.“Wha
Sylvia and Sara were restless after witnessing what they had seen. The manager who had the peephole installed had used it in the past. The two ladies didn’t even know what to say to one another until Sylvia broke their silence.“Sara, you awake?”“Yes, what’s the matter?”“Are you okay? Are you not having trouble sleeping because of your kidnapping?”“No, it’s not that. Are we the same as that manager for peeping on Blake like that? We violated his privacy, and I feel bad now. How could we do that to him?”“The way I see it. We were caught up in the curiosity of the light, is all. We’ll tell him there is a hole in the bathroom tomorrow and have someone repair it. It’s not our fault he was taking his shower while investigating.”“Still, what do we do now? Do we also let him know that we peeked at him? I was amazed at how built his body is; he must work out to keep it that way.” Sara said, turning in the direction of Sylvia to see her reaction.“Girl, are you blind and crazy? If he knew
