You may have the necessary qualities, but what we need more than quality and experience, is character. I have to warn you, I am not an easy person to please, so I will not go easy on you," Allison Banks warned Yvonne.
Yvonne had a resolute expression on her face as she said, "I don't expect anything less than that. I promise that if my interview isn't satisfactory, I will never bother the staff or management team of Galaxy Tech Lane ever again."
Warren smiled when he saw this. He was pleasantly surprised at the way Allison took charge of the situation. He decided it would be best if he left Allison in charge of Galaxy Tech Lane. She had the charisma of an excellent manager.
Warren looked at Allison and signaled to her to make Yvonne excuse them. Allison understood what Warren was try

Warren sat and waited for almost an hour until he finally saw the familiar figure of Yvonne Grant exiting the elevator. She had a wide smile on her face and the moment she saw Warren, she ran towards him. Warren was surprised when he felt Yvonne's hand touching his. "Thank you so much for allowing me to meet with Miss Allison Banks. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gotten this job offer," Yvonne said. Warren was surprised at her sudden gesture. Although Yvonne and Warren attended the same classes sometimes, he didn't expect her to show her gratitude so openly to him. It was really unexpected for him. "Miss Grant, I assume you got the job," Warren said. He didn't know what else to say, in fear of revealing the kind of relationship he shared with Allison. If people knew that he and Allison were close, some would jump to wrong conclusions and think that he might be Allison's toy boy or something. "I just finished my interview with Miss Banks.

"And what are you so smug about?" Yvonne joked when she saw the smile on Warren's face. "Nothing really, I just feel blessed to have a beautiful girl sticking me for lunch. Anyone in my shoes would be happy about it, right?" Warren said playfully. Although Yvonne was beautiful and had an alluring body figure, Warren didn't feel particularly excited by her. That's why he didn't feel too bad for teasing her. When she heard his words, Yvonne blushed. She never thought that Warren would be so bold as to openly flirt with her. This caught her off guard and she didn't know how to respond. "Just keep quiet, or else I will rescind the invite," Yvonne said. That was the only response she could come up with at the time. Warren smiled and pressed his finger against his lips. He was motioning that he would keep his mouth shut. Yvonne smiled when she saw that. Although Warren was poor, he was easy to get along with. Yvonne only talked to Warren earlier

"Warren are you going to allow this woman to talk about you like that?" Yvonne asked irritated."She's entitled to her own opinion," Warren said. He felt as if Jennifer was trampling all over his dignity. It was easy for him to defend himself against Jennifer, but when he was reminded of the previous 6 months they spent together, his heart soften."I didn't know you were such a pitiful person to allow someone to talk down to you like that. It seems like the first impression I had of you was wrong," Yvonne said disappointed. She admired Warren when he stood up for her earlier to Jackson Klein and with Secretary Banks. He showed a lot of courage, but now he was as meek as a lamb."I'm sorry Miss Grant, to drag you into this mess. Jennifer could you please leave," Warren said. Yvonne hit the nail on the head. She was right. Although he was still deeply in love with Jennifer, that didn't gave her the right to disrespect him like that. Especially in front

"It is alright, as long as you give me your word," Yvonne said.At that moment, a phone call was made from outside of the Majestic Oriental Kitchen. Jennifer had a mischievous smile on her face when she dropped the phone call. Charles said that he would be there in 15 minutes and Jennifer was pretty much relishing in that moment. The restaurant would get what they were due for embarrassing her like that.Unbeknownst to them, Warren and Yvonne enjoyed the desert they were offered by the waitress. After all, who would say no, since it was on the house. They talked and laughed for half an hour or so when they suddenly heard the screeching of tires outside the restaurant. When she saw the convoy, Yvonne started to tremble. The sight of the 5 black Mercedes Benz C-Class were all too familiar to her."It's all over now! Charles Chamberlain is here. This restaurant, your life and mine, it is all over," Yvonne said while she was trembling. She knew the

Everyone was looking at Charles with fear in their eyes. Now Warren has done it. It would be impossible for him to escape with his life. Especially when there were 10 guards blocking the exits. Warren just forfeited his own life when he broke Charles's wrist. Charles was screaming in agony at that moment. He didn't know what happened or how Warren managed to break his wrist so easily. He knew he had to make Warren pay, even if it was the last thing he would do. Yvonne was pale where she stood. She never expected Warren to be so crazy as to openly defy Charles and to top it off, he even broke his wrist. Warren was a dead man. Plain and simple. "Everyone leave immediately if you don't want to witness a murder!" Charles shouted. At the warning of his words people were scattering everywhere. Everyone headed toward their nearest exit and the bodyguards made way for them to leave. Even Yvonne and Jennifer hurried out of the restaurant. The

Charles smiled when he saw Warren's pitiful face. "You seemed to enjoy yourself a lot back there, didn't you? I would like to let them go, but unfortunately my hands are tight, or broken I should say," Charles joked. He would finally get his revenge on Warren. "I will give you the opportunity to say your goodbye to your uncle. Your aunt will follow him into the abyss. Start talking, you don't have much time," Charles said. Warren sobbed. He felt as if his whole world came crashing to the ground. Charles had his uncle and aunt's lives in his hands and there was nothing that Warren could do about it. "Charles, I beg you. If you want money, I can give you 500 million dollars right now. I will give up all my assets, just spare their lives!" Warren cried anxiously. Charles laughed hysterically at his words. "Despair will really drive you insane. Do you think you have enough money to pay for their lives? Y

"Samuel, I'm not in the mood for games. I'm warning you, get moving!" Warren's words were ice cold. But who could blame him. Samuel knew Warren wasn't thinking straight. His mind was clouded by rage. If he allowed Warren to go after Charles, that would mean he allowed Warren to walk into his own death. That was something Samuel couldn't allow. "Warren, I don't know what you're going through and I don't know what you're feeling right now, but..." "If you don't know what I'm feeling, then why are you standing between myself and Charles? Are you going to side with him? If so, I will not spare your life!" Warren interrupted Samuel before he could finish his sentence. Samuel knew it would be impossible to reason with Warren. After all, he watched his uncle and aunt murdered in HD. While Warren was grieving, Charles was probably out there having the time of his life. Who would be able to withstand something like that. "Warren

"It will be all expenses paid. You know the life insurance that my aunt and uncle had will pay out a hefty sum. It will be enough to cover travel expenses as well as accommodation and food for the three of us. Just say yes," Warren said as he tried to convince Samuel and Henry to join him."Are the girls in Wellington pretty?" Samuel joked."The prettiest in the world. That much I can guarantee," Warren said.The three of them burst out into laughter. It was good for Samuel to see his friend trying to keep it together. He was worried that the pain would change Warren.Warren's laughter soon turned solemn. He looked at Samuel with tears forming in his eyes. Although he tried to remain strong, the wound in his heart was too deep."Samuel, I don't want to be alone at the house. I don't know how I will feel when I step foot in that yard. I know what I'm asking from you is selfish, but I don't have anyone else left. You are the only pe

Three days later, Warren was discharged from the hospital. He had nowhere to go and since he lost basically everything he owned, he made his way to the Parker mansion that was located on the outskirts of Richmond. He said he didn't want anything to do with that family anymore, but that was the only safe haven he could find in that instance.Since regaining his memories of what transpired back in Flemond, Warren felt that he had no reason to keep on living. He lost the only reason, in Olivia, to keep on living, and that after he promised not to let her go. He was horrible at keeping promises and that was what killed Warren.As soon as he arrived in front of the villa, Bruce, the butler, already anticipated his arrival. Warren recalled that he asked him to keep an eye over the affairs of Johnathan Parker since he was no longer around, but he didn't expect that Bruce would be so devoted in his tasks."Master Cole. I have awaited your return. Welco

Mark and his two bodyguards, who were quite a distance away, heared his cry all too clearly. When they turned to look in the direction from which they escaped, they could see smoke rising into the air. Although they were almost five kilometers away, they could clearly see the blue fire accompanying the smoke."What is that?" he asked hid bodyguards. The female bodyguard looked at him and responded: "That is the end!"She then sat on a log that nearby. Mark urged his male bodyguard to hurry up so that the two of them could get away. The two of them didn't hesitate and ran as quickly as their legs could carry them.The female bodyguard admired the scene that she saw. That was like something out of a fairytale. Though it was dark all around her, the blue fire contrasted the dark sky in a majestic way."So this is how it ends. I guess there is no escaping your destiny. You're truly the reincarnation of King Cole," she said.

Yvonne had to stand by and hear how her husband get ridiculed like that. She thought she married a stand-up guy, someone who didn't only look good and were rich, but also a man with morals. He wasn't Warren, but he was the next big thing in line.Mark, on the other hand, was boiling with rage. He secretly dialed a number on his phone and within a few minutes his two most loyal subordinates appeared. It was the woman who Warren and Olivia met and another man. Each one of them were cultivators of an extraordinary rank."So you decided to call for backup? I guess you must really be an embarrassment of a man if you can't even fight your own battles. You are not only weak, but you can only assert your dominance on helpless women. I really pity you," Warren said. Mark didn't care anymore. He wanted all of them dead, and that's what he ordered his henchmen to do. Before they could move an inch, Warren appeared behind the man, sword in his hand and the blade on the

"I watched them go out in flames. I heard their screams for help. My father's body was on fire, but he only worried about one thing. He begged Mark to let me go. I couldn't understand why he would want that while he was literally in the depths of hell," Olivia explained. The more Warren heard, the more his anger was fueled. What on earth gave Mark the right to do something to Olivia's family like that? What has he ever done to him? "You know, as they were busy losing their lives in the most horrid way possible, Mark just stood there and laughed. How could someone be so cruel as to do something like that?" "He finally focused his attention on me and said that this was his retribution. He said that he was looking for me for a while. I couldn't understand the meaning in his words, but later he explained everything to me. He said that he fell in love with a woman. She was the best thing to ever happen to him and that he never loved anyone more than that." "The wo

Warren didn't waste any time to linger around. He had to go after Olivia. She was beyond pissed at him. He knew that he messed up big time. She seemed to be spooked by something else before she got to find out about his fling with Jamie. It's not as if he was cheating. Warren felt that he was clearly within his rights to move on, since Olivia was presumed dead by that point."Are you really going to leave now, Warren?" Jamie asked. She looked as if she was holding on to the final thread of hope. She knew that if Warren decided to leave, that thread would snap and it would sent her spiraling downwards, out of control."I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Jamie. It was never my intention to hurt you. It's just that, I can't afford to lose Olivia. I lost her to death once, and now that I have her back, I can't do it again," Warren explained. Jamie didn't understand what Warren was talking about. How could he have lost her to death if she was clearly

"Hey Olivia. What's wrong?" Warren asked worried. Olivia still stood there as if she was frozen. She couldn't move a muscle."I've had enough of this debacle. Miss Francis, if you don't have anything to say to me, I best start going," Mark said. He was about to leave when Jamie arrived. She was so happy to see Warren and her boss finally met each other."Warren, I'm so glad you can make it here today. Now you can finally meet my boss," she said. Warren looked at Mark from head to toe. Was this the man that he was supposed to meet? Who would've known the world was such a small place."Why would I want to meet this idiot?" Mark asked.Warren didn't pay any mind to either of them. He was just surprised that Mark turned out to be thee Mr Clifford. Warren wasn't so sure about going into business with them anymore."Olivia, let me get you home." Warren offered. She nodded. Warren pulled her by the hand and brought her to his car. Yvonne

"Do you have any idea where I can get ahold of this boss of yours? It has been too long now. I think it's finally time we meet," Warren said.Jamie nodded. She thought that the two of them would never get to meet since they kept postponing it. It wasn't a good thing especially since they were entering in a deal that would put their company on the map and for that to happen, they needed the assistance of such a major company as Galaxy Tech Lane."I will arrange that he comes to the office today or tomorrow. Please make sure that you are present for that. I will come along since I am was partially the reason why we sealed the deal," Jamie teased him as she winked playfully. Warren couldn't disagree with that since that was really the case. If she wasn't such a beautiful secretary, it would've taken a lot more to change Warren's mind to get involved with such a small company."After that, the two of us can maybe go for a drink if you like," Jamie flirted.

Christina was steadfast in her mission not to let Warren know what really happened. Warren was adamant, but she didn't give anything up. It took Olivia to finally convince him to let it go. Warren and Olivia left Christina so that she could rest further. He was still unsatisfied with how things ended, but he decided to let it go for the moment. He didn't want to add anymore to her stress.The two of them drove in silence back home. Once he made it back, he summoned Neo to meet him in his study. He told Neo the jest of things so that he roughly had an idea of what was going on."So your mission is to find out who the culprit behind all of this is. I have been through enough already. I can't let anything happen to Christina. She isn't out of danger yet. And as long as there are people gunning for her life, I can't rest in peace. Just make sure Olivia doesn't find out about any of this," Warren said. Neo nodded. This was the first big task Warren gave to him and he knew t

"How did it go?" Olivia asked once Warren returned home. She was always bad with hiding her facial expressions, so the worries was written all over her face."I gave them my number and address so that they may contact me in case there are any developments. For now, let's just hope she makes it," Warren said. Neither one of them could get something into their stomach that night. They were sick with worry.The phone, that Warren has been staring at for most of the day, suddenly started to ring. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was an unknown number, but it was from a landline. Warren didn't waste any time and answered immediately."Mr Cole. You left your number with us earlier in case something happened. There is good news, the young missus just woke up and she's alright. I know it's too soon to say, but she hasn't suffered any long term damage." the doctor explained. The sigh of relief Warren let out, was audible through the phone
