Chapter 51 Anthonyâs Plan
Anthony had heard from others that Joshua thought quite highly of Daniel. The way Joshua saw Daniel suggested that the kid might just become his protégé. If that happened, Daniel would be Joshuaâs new pet, and Anthonyâs days would be numbered.
To nip this problem in the bud, Anthony decided that Daniel needed to vanishâpermanently.
âGet that bonehead Justin to off Daniel? Whatâs your angle?â Andrew asked.
âWell, isnât Daniel working as an assistant at TMO? You could send him over to tell Justin to move the Black Panther Club. Justinâs not gonna budge, and when a fight breaks out, can you guarantee Justin wonât lose it and finish Daniel off?
If Justin kills Daniel, I can tell Joshua it was TMOâs fault. Joshua will hit the roof! The deal between TMO and Healthy Land would go belly-up, and ArmCorp would swoop in to take their place!â
âThatâs brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!â
âIâve set the stage for you; itâs in your court now. With your skills, this should be a piece of cake.â
âTrust me, Anthony, Iâve got this. I know a few guys at Black Panther Club. Iâll have them stir some trouble. The moment Daniel steps foot in there, Iâll have Justin take him down on the spot.â
âIâll be waiting, then.â
Andrew revved up his red Ferrari and pulled out of Healthy Land, headed to TMO headquarters. To keep a low profile, he parked his flashy car in the furthest corner of the lot.
Brittany, upon receiving Andrewâs message, quickly dropped her work and trotted down to meet him.
âAndrew, whatâs up?â
Andrew handed her a bouquet of roses, and Brittany was floored.
âAndrew, whatâs this all about?â
âDonât get the wrong idea; theyâre for Jessica. Please pass them on to her.â
âIf youâre giving flowers to Jessica, shouldnât you deliver them yourself?â
âSheâs been giving me the cold shoulder since that incident. Wonât take my calls or return my texts.
âAnd donât get me started; Jessicaâs barely speaking to me now.â
Brittanyâs words piqued Andrewâs curiosity.
âWhyâs that?â he inquired.
âAll because of that nobody.â
âNobody? Who?â
Andrew already knew she meant Danielâhe was playing dumb on purpose.
Chapte Li Anthonyâs Plan
âWho else but Daniel? I canât stand that guy. I wish Jessica would fire him on the spot!â
âAnd whyâs that? I thought he had a hand in the TMOâHL partnership?â
âPartnership, my foot. He just got lucky. I canât figure out why Jessica values him so much.â
âYou wonât believe what happened this morning. Jessica drank coffee from the same cup as him. Isnât that like, indirectly kissing?â
âWhat did you say? Jessica drank after that loser?â
âYou bet she did.â
Brittany was twisting the truth.
The truth was, the coffee that morning had been Jessicaâs. After tasting it and not liking the flavor, she passed it on to Daniel. But that lousy Daniel had not only accepted it but drank from itâusing the same
straw as Jessica.
Just thinking about it sent Brittany into a rage.
