Chapter: Chapter 25Kylie's POV “Are you Nervous?” Lady Oh asked as she opened the car door. My legs were shaking.I glanced at her, and couldn't say a word. Her face was worn with a worrisome look. “Come here” she cupped me Into her arm, giving me a very comforting hug.I came down from the car, basking in my confidence. Determination was all I felt as I walked into the company conference hall meeting. It would have been a worse situation if any of those shareholders had arrived before me. The conference call we did last night was a mess. More reason why I had organized this emergency meeting. Maybe a physical approach would change the whole thing.Usually, the shareholders arrive before me, but it was the other way around this time. Thirty minutes and none of them had shown up.Panic set into my heart after a whooping two hours, and still, it didn't seem like any one of them would come.I got up from the chair and paced around the room.“Ms Kylie, I don't think any one of them is coming. You should

Chapter: Chapter 24Emily's POV “What are you doing here?!” He asked, staring at me. “And who is this?” He looked at Peter who was seated in front of me.“You should sit,” I said, smiling stylishly. He never expected to see me. Well, I already had it in my sleeve before reaching out to him. “What is going on here?” He asked again as he settled next to me. “Mr. Natalie, I am glad you honor my calling.” Peter leaned backward. “Emily here reached out to me concerning your company and how the Wilson family has been behind the loss surrounding it,” he explained. Austin glanced at me. “Really?” He scoffed.“Well, I had to do something. I mean, I can't watch you suffer” I responded.“ I don't need you helping me!” He was still being stubborn.“ I have a juicy offer, Mr Natalie,” Peter interrupted the tense atmosphere.“And who are you? You should introduce yourself” Austin glanced at him.Peter smiled. “There is no need for all of that. It's not important,” he responded and continued. “Myself and Emily

Chapter: Chapter 23Emily's POV The house has been empty since Austin left. I have tried countless times to reach out to him, but he wouldn't pick up my calls, and recently, it seems like he has blocked me. To make matters worse, he banned his secretary from letting me in his company.Well, all of what he has done doesn't bother me one bit. No matter how long it takes him to run, he will come back home to me. I am going nowhere. He belongs to me; the faster he realizes, the better.I decided to have a drink in a quiet bar. Things have been so noisy lately. “As much as I could recall, I'm not in any relationship,” said Austin's voice in my head. I smirked as I recalled the ridiculous mass interview from Austin. He was smart enough to organize such a mass address; that way, Kylie's image could be at the center of it. It became ridiculous the moment he spewed that word out of his gutter mouth. What does he even take me for? “Your drink, ma’am,” the bartender's voice interrupted my thinking. I took a

Chapter: Chapter 22Kylie’s POV I felt a cold shoulder walking into the office building. The atmosphere seems weird and in a way, I could sense so many eyes on me.“Miss Kylie, You should see this” Lady oh voice came from behind, her shoe clicking with the floor. “Can you just make a quick brief? Too early for chit chatting " I responded, not glancing at her. My steps were heavy, leading my way into the Elevator. She kept quiet, unable to say any more words, and I was wondering why she Suddenly went mute. “I am still waiting to hear it,” I said as I pressed on the first floor. “ Austin Natalie is currently having a live press concerning the ongoing saga” her voice shaking as she barely whispered.“Hun?” I murmured under my breath, my eyes opened in shock. “Let me have it” I grabbed the tablet from her. Austin stood tall in his well-laid suit; in front of him, there were so many cameras from different News stations. “Firstly, I want to thank you all for coming at very short notice. I understand ho

Chapter: Chapter 21Austin's POV My eyes popped out as I stared at the Economy chat on the television screen. My company stock was dropping right in front of my eyes. Not just that, the red notification at the side corner of the screen kept beeping. It always meant one thing with the red notification, investors are withdrawing their shares. I folded my hands firmly together, I could feel myself burning from the inside. Anger was all that passed through my veins.“Emily! Emily! Emily!” I groaned under my teeth. Everything went wrong the moment she intervened. Maybe I should have handled things my way. At this point, I felt so regretful for relying on Emily trying to protect my company and now I caused my company to drown.“This isn't the time to blame things on Emily,” Francis suddenly said. I glanced at him wondering if he understood what he had just said. It was the company we were talking about. It was obvious everything happened because of Emily's stupid idea of protecting me.“What?!” I murmured o

Chapter: Chapter 20Austin POV I used to think Emily was the better choice but Nah, she would constantly prove to me that I had made the wrong choice. If not anything, I hate being in the spotlight and if at all I found myself in one, it should be Something worthy. I should be achieving and signing deals which other competitive companies couldn't attain.Seeking the people pity words?! That bullshit. I'm not some weakling who needs validation from people or some sort of pity party in my life. “You better fix it!” I sneered at her. Anger passing through my veins.“That must be a joke, right?” She chulked dryly. I wonder how I suddenly became a joke to Emily. In a way, she stil think she could order me around like she used to do. I have her already and all of that have to stop. I am the man who should make the orders and not the other way round.I closed the gap between us. Raised her jaw up, staring deep into her eyes as I responded.“Don't dare me!” I could see my face in her eyes, burning red.“Oh
