“Thank you for your offer, but I will have to decline. If we can’t go in, then we’ll go to another. It’s only a restaurant, after all.” Tabitha declared as she rolled her eyes at him.“Suit yourself, come, my dear, let’s go get us a table. Leave the trash outside.”Douglas, being rejected, walked further into the lobby and was greeted by the maître d’.“I want the best private room available.”“Sir, no private rooms are available at this time. If you want to wait, I’ll inform you when one is available.” The young man explained to Douglas.“I’m Douglas Soros, from the Soros family. How dare you instigate that I must wait for one to be available. I know a room is empty right now, and that’s the one I want.”“Sir, apologies, that one is reserved for the owners. Only they can utilize that room.”“Am I someone you can offend? If I want to, I could have you relieved of your duties and never work in this town again.” Douglas yelled, holding onto Maria.He did not want to offend the man befor

Maria was upset that her man still wanted to eat with Tabitha.“Don’t you want to have some fun with her? We can destroy her image when she attends us and get her drunk.” Douglas whispered to Maria thinking if he could get both girls wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?“Isn’t it just a phone call away? To clear up this misunderstanding?” Blake spoke out as he opened his phone to make the call.“Look at his phone. What is that, a flip phone? Looking at his phone, you can tell he’s just bluffing about his identity. The year 2000 called, and they want you to return it, haha.” Maria had noticed his phone from a distance and disdained its usefulness.Blake called the Eon estate, and the phone went into a busy signal, so he couldn’t get through at the moment.“Aren’t you good at pretending, haha, clearing up this misunderstanding with just a phone call? What will you do now that you can’t get through?” Douglas felt outstanding that he had one up over this faker.Frowning, Blake tried t

“Mr. Jenkins, hello, I’m Tomas Soros. We met a few weeks back, and I’m here trying to convince this young man to stop delaying and leave this area. I’m sure this accident hinders your business, but this boy is difficult to deal with.” Tomas said, losing all his arrogance when Jenkins arrived next to them.“Oh, I feel that what he said is justified. Why don’t we let the law determine what needs to be done? I also believe that insurance needs to be notified. Mr. Clemens, please inform the police that an accident has happened in front of our business, will you.” Mr. Jenkins said as he turned to face Mr. Clemens, who was watching from the side, not knowing what to do when the two most prominent families were having a dispute.“Mr. Jenkins, please, I was handling this affair for my son. I don’t see why we must involve law enforcement for such a minor incident.” Tomas turned his attention to Mr. Jenkins.“Oh, I think we need this to be settled like this, considering my young master’s car ha

“Outstanding, my dear, but we need you and your team to hurry the proposal. I want the board to look it over by Wednesday morning to be presented to Elon Trust by Friday. Can it be done in this time allowed?”Shocked that the timetable had been brought up, all she could do was grin and reply. “Grandfather, I will give it my all.”“Good, good, by the way, where is your husband? Why isn’t he here? You two not in a lover’s spat now, are you?” George asked, looking at the table with all the available family.Claire didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How could you have a lover’s spat if you were never in love in the first place?“No, grandfather, Blake had some business to attend to. He left to see his family in the country for the weekend.”“As his wife, you didn’t accompany him to meet his family? How will this look upon us, the Weston family? How can a wife not show filial piety towards her in-laws?” Asked George, who was highly upset over this information.“Father, rest assured, eve

As the limousine pulled up to the restaurant, the entrance was closed off to the public with brass stands connected with red velvet ropes; a red carpet was rolled out from the main doors towards the curb. The car stopped with the back passenger side in front of the carpet. The driver then got out and opened the door for the arrivals. Jake got out first, followed by Blake and finally Tabitha, with the help of Blake extending his hand out with her acceptance. The gathered crowd hadn’t seen such a display in a long time. They were taking photos with their phones as the three started waking in. Awaiting by the door was none other than Douglas Soros.“Mr. Elon, Jake Elon, could I have a moment of your time,” Douglas asked politely with a smile, but it changed to a disdainful look when he saw Blake by his side.“Mr. Soros, what do I have the pleasure?” Jake greeted Douglas.“Let’s not be formal; just call me Douglas, please.”“Okay, what can I do you for, Douglas?”“Mr. Elon, I just wanted
