I was planning to show Hendrix flames in pay back and now, that was dust. “Where are mine?” I tried my luck. “If I give you five cards, you will have to give me five in return.”

Darwin was debating if he’s gonna spend his break time reading the letter from his half-brother or should he have a coffee at Starbucks. Five minutes later, he decided to do both. Sitting near the window while drinking a macchiato grande, he continued to read his brother’s letter. So, I’d like to make a proposition.

As for the money, she will just have to work a way to pay him back. She heaved a sigh of relief and felt that she had to appreciate him” Thank you for giving me back my job.

Just go back and do your work, as for Evans Chandler I know how to deal with him. He won’t mess with you ever again and when he hears your name in the future he will run”
