Big Shot
It was the day for the anniversary celebration of the MBC Bank and Finance. The company is already a well-known and trusted company when it comes to finances but due to the poor management led by Mason Smith, the company suffered great losses.
But now that the company is now handled by Maeve Miller, the only daughter of the company's founder, Genevieve Miller, it is now back on its top spot in the industry.
The faces if well-known business people around the hall of the venue where the event was held was enough evidence to prove that MBC had really reclaimed it's place.
"Mr. Sy, it's nice to see you!"
"It's good to see you, too, Mr. Thomas." The old
Celeste Quintaña"Are they really married?" One of the young heiresses in the party solemnly asked. She was standing in the crowd with another group of heiresses who once and still is wishing to be on Maeve's position.It was no surprise how these young and beautiful women eyed September Thorne as a material husband. For who knows what reasons, but women are actually more drawn to men with a bad boy image. Plus, the man of the subject is also undeniably handsome and filthy rich, who wouldn't like to be his wife?"Maeve Miller dropped the bomb earlier and September didn't have any objections. And didn't you see how affectionate he is towards her?" One of the heiresses responded as they watched the couple graced the event hall with their overwhelming pres
The Only Friend"Oh. Where's my manners. I'm Celeste Quintaña. Nice meeting you," Celeste introduced with a huge smile as she face Maeve who's now sporting a playful grin on her pretty face."And I guess, I don't have to introduce myself?" Celeste grinned sheepishly before nodding a bit as she shifted her attention to September."Well, how can I not know about you when this guy calls me just to talk about you." She blurted out, not minding her friend's warning glare towards her.Maeve raised her eyebrow in curiosity as she briefly stole a glance at her husband before turning back to the lady in front of them."I hope it's not all bad?" Celeste scoffed
Lights Out"MBC Bank and Finance is a trusted financial help assurance in the industry. It was founded by Genevieve Miller almost fifteen years ago with the hopes of helping the city cope up with the recession that almost dragged the city's economy to dust." The emcee started as pictures of how MBC developed through the years was shown in a projected slideshow presentation.The whole venue was quiet as the lights were turned off to give more emphasis on the show going on at the stage."Last year, MBC experienced one of its biggest setback. We solemnly admit that we had lost a huge numbers of clients and gained numerous trust issues from some prospects." The emcee paused for a bit to let his audience absorb everything first.
When the Queen is not around, the King is on arampage"Where's Maeve?" Celeste asked once again as panic started to consume her. She hadn't catch even a glimpse of her friend's wife after the lights went on. And having the emcee lying on his own blood on the very stage where Maeve used to stand before the lights went off is not helping either."Why are you so calm?! Your wife's nowhere to be found!" She lashed out. But September just coldly turned to her."Do I looked calm to you?" He asked back. When Celeste was about to retort back, she caught her friend's eyes and realized what was brewing in there. She almost took a step back because of the violent assault that was written in his eyes.
I KnowA week before the MBC's Anniversary Celebration."Hon..." Maeve automatically turned around to face September briefly before she returned her gaze back at the stove where she was cooking their dinner.She had long been accustomed to this endearment of his and now it just sounded so natural to her."Hmm?" She hummed in question when September didn't spoke after calling out to her. She stirred the food one more time before she adjusted the fire and covered the pot to let the food boil for a while. She then walked back to the high chairs by the kitchen counters where her husband was seated."What is it?" She inquired as she sat at the high chair next to
Game of Manipulation"Sir," September turned to one of his men who held a guy by the collar.The guy looks like in his mid-twenties. He was wearing a waiter's uniform. He looked terrified as he meet September's gaze."What's with him?" He asked as he silently scrutinize the guy in front of him."Found suspicious messages from his phone." The man in black suit answered as he raised the man's phone and immediately handed it over to September.September left a lingering gaze at the guy in front of him before he opened the phone to check. Everyone around them were watching, some were petrified, some were amused and some were just plain curious.
You Care Now?"Answer the call." September ordered Gregorio as he stare at him with eyes full of warning.Gregorio's phone is on top of the table in between them, ringing. The screen says that it was a certain 'Client X'."Answer. It."Gregorio hesitantly lifted his hands to take his phone from the table."One wrong word and you're done." September warned before gesturing him to answer the call. Gregorio had to gulped real hard to calm his nerves before he answered the call."What happened? Did you get her?" A manly voice asked."Yes, sir. We got her."
True HoneymoonMason was at a lost of words after hearing September's words.Son-in-laws should be fearing their father-in-laws...right?So why are theirs reversed?"I'm your wife's father! Show some respect---""Respect is earned, Mr. Smith. The moment you sell off my wife in exchange of your freedom, you lost all those respect that I could give you." September said seriously."Where's my daughter? Is she safe?" Mason asked instead, maneuvering the conversation into something else."How would I know? I'm not her kidnapper." September answered mockingly.
