Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 143 - Mrs. York
AFTER 6 months of investigation, countless interviews, and dead-end evidence, LAPD Officers H. Gilberts and J. Peralta exhausted everything they had. “I got nothing,” Officer H. Gilberts says. “Same here. Sad to say we have another cold case in our hands,” Officer J. Peralta says as he puts the case files inside the box. - Meanwhile, at Caldwell Inc., it was Lucius's first day as the VP of Operations, and he went to the office 2 hours early to familiarize himself with his daily tasks and new team. He was lucky that his previous secretary, Chloe, remained loyal to him, and when he called her she instantly resigned from her secretarial position in one of the Ripley International subsidiaries. - Concurrently, Victor was sitting in the back passenger seat with Latton and his face conveyed annoyance and envy. He has been sulking for a while but Latton seems to ignore him. He can’t take it anymore. He coughs vigorously, then says, “I’m beginning to be jealous here. You’ve been back f
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 144 - Like the small village in the UK
AFTER briefly speaking to Lucian in the corridor, Latton returned to Victor's office and sat in his chair. She can't stop reminiscing about Lucian's reaction after she corrected him by calling her Mrs., instead of Miss. "Why do I feel bad when I see him sad?" She asked herself while checking the documents that needed Victor's signature. "I should be happy, he no longer has that smug look on his face. He must have been boastful when I fell about his lies over and over again." She said to herself as she clenched the papers tightly scrunching them in the process. Shortly after, Victor entered the office. He notices the frown on her face, "Hey, what's with the sad gloomy look?" He asks as he moves towards her. "Nothing important. How's the meeting?" She inquired detachedly. "The usual boring business stuff," he replied, seeing how expressionless she was. He then added, "The meeting is so boring. The only noticeable thing is Lucian looks disconnected." Her brows furrowed. He stared at
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 145 - Mind Games
EARLY in the morning when Kirby Johnson discreetly drove to York’s Villa. “What brings you here this early, Kirby?” Latton asks as she walks down the stairs still in her sleepwear. “You need to know something about the company,” he declared anxiously. She frowned and sat beside him in the living room. “There are anomalies in the last financial reports, forged invoices, missing money, under-the-table projects, and everything began when Miss Gardner joined the company. At first, it's only a few hundred thousand, then it turns to…” “... How much do you think she got?” She intervenes. “Around 50 million…” She gasped. The veins on her forehead started to bulge in rage, “Have you told my father about this?” “That’s why I’m here,” he says as he lowers his head. “I told him and he did not listen. He doesn’t listen to reasoning anymore. I’m afraid if this continues Ripley International will fall. I’m your father's right-hand man, but my loyalty remains to your grandfather’s legacy, whic
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 146 - Your Move
JOHN called Lucian to his office to give him a rundown of the cost it would take to sever ties with Prima Star. Lucian's hands shivered in surprise at seeing how much Caldwell Incorporated needed to pay. "This much, huh?" He mumbles. John frowns, "Yes, I don't like Shirley, but I wouldn't like the company to suffer this much. Unless they are the ones that cut ties with us like what Ripley International did," he explains while patting Lucian's back. "That means we need to endure having her around," Lucian states. John nods, "But I think you are doing well. You were able to stand up against her, even shout at her, and she listened to you." He explains. "And that's a good thing?" Lucian inquired. "Yes. You have no idea how madly in love you were with her before, and it's understandable, you are 15, and she was 21 when you first met. In everyone's eyes, she grooms you to be an obedient boyfriend," John commented. Meanwhile, on the 15th floor, Shirley was walking back and forth to h
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 147 - Under the Table
ALBERT and Alison thought Latton still had no idea about their plans, but little did they know an internal audit was ongoing in secrecy. They were clueless regarding what was about to happen in the coming month. Meanwhile, Victor asks Latton to accompany him to work as his secretary, Madison, is on leave, and he hates being alone in his office. That's what he told her, but deep down he just wanted to flaunt to everyone that he had Latton tightly in his grasp. “Is it okay if you bring this to Lucian?” Victor asked. “He needs to sign it,” he added. Latton glared at him then hesitantly took the folder and went to the CEO's office. To her surprise, Jenny, the CEO's secretary, was not at her table. She’s about to walk back to the COO area when suddenly she sees the door to Lucian’s office is slightly open. “He might be inside,” she mumbles to herself. She pushes the door only to find it empty. She’s about to leave when she suddenly bumps into the table and accidentally lets go of the fo
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 148 - It's Not Worth It
LATTON asks Victor to accompany her to the manor. Along the way, she contacted Derek. As soon as the call was answered she bombarded him with questions, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were trapped in Europe and dad is taking over the manor? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?” She shouts over the phone. “Stop yelling, you're hurting my ear,” Derek responded. “I want to tell you, but I can’t reach you. You didn’t give me your new contact number.” He pointed out. She heaves deeply, “That’s not an excuse. You could have called Xavier, Lucius, Victor, or anyone else. Now you have left me again in a conundrum.” She shouts angrily. “I really want to return but…” he paused mid-sentence then held the back of his neck. “I chose not. At first, I was banned from booking a flight now that I can travel back there. I changed my mind.” “What do you mean you changed your mind?” She asks with a frown on her face. “It's not worth it, Latton. The stress, the drama. It's better for you to leave as
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 149 - Destroying the Couple
LUCIAN was comfortably sitting in his car in a mall parking lot while observing all the happy couples heading in and out of their cars. Visualizing if one day he could experience such simple joy in life. knock! knock! The subtle knocking sound caught Lucian's attention, and he slowly opened the driver-side window. "Boss, you need to see this," Ricky muttered while discreetly handing the photographs to Lucian through the car window. Lucian stared at the photographs and smiled gleefully, "Good work," he muttered while handing Ricky an envelope filled with cash. "Thanks, boss. When do you want me to send the copy to Mrs. York." Ricky asks. Lucian scoffed then frowned. Ricky understood he had said something wrong, and instantly corrected himself, "I mean, send the copy to Miss Ripley." "Send them to her first thing tomorrow morning," he remarked. Ricky nodded and cautiously left. "Latton will surely file for divorce when she sees this." Lucian thought to himself and soon drove aw
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 150 - Chaotic Dinner
AFTER a week of talking to Latton, Lucian never saw her again. She stops visiting Victor and Lucius, and he has no way of contacting her. All he knew was that she stayed at York's villa. “She’s exhausted. Well, I’m exhausted too.” Lucian said to himself while fixating on the images on his computer. “Why won’t she leave him? Is it because they are going to have a child? ” He asked himself while smiling bitterly. "Of course it is." He replied mockingly to himself. He stood up and stared outside the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, “Is it really time for me to let her go? But how can I forget about her, if everything reminds me of her? She’s the only person whom I keep on reaching for even after all the mishaps I’ve been through. I guess I did change, the previous version of me would lock himself up and move on after a while just like what I did when Shirley left. Or simply end it like what I did to Malena. But why can’t I let go of Latton?” Engrossed in thought. He did not notic
