"The interview I will conduct with you will be unbiased and fair. That also means that I will not let your relationship with Mr Cole influence my decision in any way. 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

"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

"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

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

"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
