Chapter 75

he asked, Philip, nodded affirmatively. 

He took a quick stroll and picked something from on top of the television set, he switched on the television and returned to his sitting position.

He presented the open cigarette box to Carl "do you care?" he asked, Carl didn't answer, he reached a stick of cigarette and picked it out from the rest.

Philip lit the cigarette that was hanging mid-air on his lips and passed the lighter to Carl, who also did.

Just then, the television made a sudden sound and Carl turned to look at the screen, Carl gave him an askance look.

But, Philip was awkwardly calm, the footage displayed a man wandering.

Suddenly, a wind whooshed past him even making Carl exclaim "wow!" in shock, he tilted his head to Philip with an askance look.

But that just all that the footage displayed "that is the man I sent two weeks ago, Carl, I paid a lot, I was only able to secure this footage 'cause I placed a secret camera around the house I offered him" he puffed cloud smoke in the air, after saying much.

"you seem to have added more nerves, Lucas, walking into my office uninvited wasn't enough, you even put an incorrigible act, what a demeanour!" she berated him loudly.

Lucas chuckled seem to find Arial's reaction hilarious, ignoring her rant, he sat calmly "I want coffee" his voice is firm and condescends to Arial as a subordinate.

"coffee!" Arial reiterated unbelievable, she was very loud and doesn't seem to get a hold of herself, she glared at Lucas.

But he was less concerned about Arial's glaring stares at him, he checked his wristwatch "tell your secretary to hurry" he ordered blatantly keeping a straight face.

Arial doesn't feel like bothering herself about him anymore, she pressed a commanding button beneath her desk, and reclined on the chair, feeling dishonoured and insulted, her face flushed in anger.

A few minutes later, four burly men walked
