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
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 151 - After Dinner
SEEING Latton's sorrowful look and tears rolling down her cheeks. Lucian couldn't help but cover his face in dismay and disappointment at himself, but he was too hurt to stop now, and he just wanted to vent all his frustrations as this might be the last time he would see or talk to her. Lucian laughed at himself mockingly, “You said you married him because he was always there. I want to be there for you, but how? Your father beat the living shit out of me. I can't even eat solid food for 5 fucking days.” he shouts. Latton’s brows furrowed in confusion, “What are you talking about?” she asked. Victor then immediately stood up, “He is clearly drunk, Latton, and he is not aware of what he was saying. Let's go.” he said while holding her arm. “But I want to know,” she states. Victor leaned close to her, “I'll send someone to check on that, but not now. Too many people, he has already said too many things that we have to talk about as husband and wife,” he whispered to her ear. She fr
Hey, Stranger! CHAPTER 152 - Internal Audit
LATTON gasped in surprise when the dark shadow jumped at her fast, but before she could scream the light showed what it was. “YODA!?” She mumbles in awe. “What are you doing here little pup?” She asks the dog in a playful tone. Yoda barked, then ran deep into the garden to the back fence where she could see a small hole in the ground that even a small child could fit. “Is this how to get into the garden?” She mumbled while laughing. Soon she heard a familiar voice, “Yoda!? Yoda, where are you, buddy?” A male voice shouted. “Hank?” She mutters to the figure on the other side of the fence. Hank walked towards the fence and saw her through the gap. “Latton?” “Yes, hi? You live around here?” She asks while watching Yoda digging another hole near the fence. “Yes, I live next door,” he replied while squatting, trying to get Yoda to stop digging. She furrowed her brows, “Really? What a coincidence that we are neighbors.” She remarks. He nods while smiling, “Actually your neighbor is
