“Are you trying to say that I’m jealous?!”Eugene shot at him.“You obviously are.”“You’re saying bunch of crap!I’m out of here.”With that,Eugene stormed off.Meanwhile,Leah and her brother were still having a fun time.Leah has had a few glasses to drink and she was a bit intoxicated.“I think you should stop drinking,Leah.”Marcel said,taking the glass from her.“No…”She protested.”One more…just one more glass,pleaseee.”She drawled.The alcohol was really making her momentarily forget about her worries and she was happy about that.Just then,Marcel’s phone rang out.He saw that it was from the judge on the case he was working on.He quickly said to Leah.”Leah,I have to take this.I’ll be right back.”Leah nodded.Marcel walked off and she quickly ordered another bottle of wine.When the men who had been eying her saw that Marcel had left,they slowly advanced towards her.Leah stared closely at every one of them wondering if she could find anyone appealing to her eyes.But none of them
“Asher,apologize to her right now.”Eugene ordered.He turned back his gaze to Leah,she was drunk so he needed to keep a close eye on her.He tried to tell himself that he was only doing this because that was how one should behave when one sees a drunk woman.He should protect her rather than think of taking advantage of her.Eugene stared straight at her,not that keeping his eyes on her face was doing much work but it was a lesser temptation than looking at her from head to toe.“I didn’t do anything wrong to this lady,Eugene.She…she came up to this table and I thought she wanted to join us for a drink so I offered her one but instead of drinking it,she splashed it on my face!She’s a psychopath.”“Don’t call her that,you punk!”Eugene barked.“Do you even know this woman?Why are you speaking as if you know her?!”“She’s my wife!”Eugene announced.When Eugene saw how shocked everyone around him looked,he quickly corrected himself.“She’s my…ex-wife.”That part shocked Asher even more.H
Leah sniffed and lifted up her head,she stared at his face and hip-cupped,she was still so intoxicated.She slowly brought up her hand and touched his face.“Why do you look so much like him?Like Eu…Eugene?”She asked,curiously.Eugene sighed,still wondering what to do with her but somehow,he really like this position he was in.He liked holding her.So he continued holding her like this.She placed a finger on his nose and then on his lips,he suddenly struggled to breathe.“I wish you were Eugene.”He wanted to tell her that he really was Eugene.He couldn’t understand himself right now.He shouldn’t be here with her.He shouldn’t be in this position with her.He should go call Jason to come take her home.He shouldn’t care about the things she had just said.He shouldn’t care about the fact that she missed him so much.But then he found himself asking.”Do you really still love Eugene?What about Jason?”She responded by moving her head closer to his.Eugene gulped and realizing she was
As Leah coughed,Marcel quickly got her water.She drank it and took a deep breath.“Did we…did we really kiss?”She asked so quietly that Marcel had to strain to hear.“I don’t think so but if I hadn’t arrived on time,I think he might have taken advantage of you.”Leah shook her head.”No,he wouldn’t.Eugene doesn’t find me attractive.”“Is this what you think?”“I lived with him for two years,I know that.”“Then why was he so overprotective of you last night?”“Overprotective of me?”She was surprised to hear that.“Yeah,he asked me if I was going to take you seriously,he said you weren’t from the high society and that I shouldn’t play with you.”Leah frowned.”Why did he say all that to you?”“I guess he mistook me for Jason.You know,he thinks you’re dating Jason and I didn’t correct him.”“So you can’t really remember what happened between you and Eugene in the rest room before I showed up?I really want to know that part.”“You’re so nosy.”Leah shot at him.Marcel touched his chest,dra
“Hudson Home is currently facing huge criticism from the public.”Tristan informed Eugene.”People have all sort of mean things to say about them and most of the people gafe evidence to back up their claims,this isn’t good at all.”Eugene sighed.”JK Group ended their contract with Hudson Home ever quality issues?They’ve been using Hudson beddings for years now,didn’t they know about the quality?”“Apparently,they didn’t.Or the former general manager didn’t notice.I found out that the Group had a new general manager now,rumor has it that she’s a no nonsense lady and she made sure all the JK hotels in the country and abroad terminate their contracts with Hudson Home.”“How can a mere manager have such power?”“I heard she’s the daughter of Jerome King who’s the founder of JK Group.She’s called Leah King.”Eugene grimaced as he was reminded of the woman named Leah that he knows.Was he destined to keep meeting with women called Leah?He quickly shook his head.None of them mean anything to
“Do you seriously know who you’re talking to?My boss isn’t an ordinary man!”Tristan thundered.“I’m sorry but these are the procedure that I must follow.”Eugene saw that receptionist would not budge so he just say to Tristan.“Just make the appointment,we’ll come again tomorrow.”Tristan glared at the receptionist and then made the appointment.************“This Leah King,she must be new to town,she must have not been told the consequences of messing with you.”“She’ll know tomorrow.”“And that’s the problem,boss,we might not even get to see her tomorrow.According to that obnoxious receptionist,we’ll only be given a date to see her tomorrow.”Eugene tugged down his tie,angrily.“I have to settle this as soon as possible or else Hudson Home would go completely bankrupt.”The following day,Eugene and Tristan got to JK hotel and they were told that their appointment were scheduled for the next day.They came again the next day and they were told that Leah King wasn’t chanced to see him
By the time they got to the last floor,Tristan was exhausted and he sat down to rest but Eugene still stood on his feet,he could climb many more stairs today if it meant he gets to meet Leah King.A young man approached them with a smile on his feet.“You must be Eugene Moore,pleasure to meet you,I’m Josh,Miss King Secretary.”Josh introduced.“This way,please…”Eugene helped Tristan to his feet and then the both of them followed Josh.“Wait for me here.”Eugene said to Tristan.He noticed that his palms were sweaty and he couldn’t understand why he was nervous to face Leah King.He had met people of higher status than her but he didn’t feel nervous but meeting this woman made him feel quite uneasy.Possibly because she had disrespected him so much.Josh knocked on the door and a female voice came from the inside.“Come in.”Josh opened the door and Eugene walked in.He swallowed,discreetly and tried his best to look calm and collected.Leah was sipping wine and watching them from the r
Tristan was surprised to see his boss looking crestfallen when he came out of Leah’s office.“Is everything okay,sir?How did it go?”Tristan asked,curiously.“I…”Eugene was still so confused and he couldn’t even explain how he was feeling.He didn’t blindly just start defending Hudson Home,he had asked Jessica if the allegations were true and she assured him that they were all made up stories.But after listening to the proof that Leah King had,Eugene didn’t know what to believe anymore.*******Leah walked back to her office,Valerie quickly walked up to her on wobbly legs.“Oh Ma’am,I was so scared.I often see Eugene Moore on TV,this is my first time seeing him in real life.He is like a greek god.I’m sorry,I know I couldn’t hide my nervousness but I tried my best,are you disappointed?”Leah smiled at her.”It’s okay.You did well.”She then handed Valerie an envelope.”For your service.”“Oh my!Thank you so much,Miss King.Thank you.”Valerie felt so grateful.She never expected to make thi
