"I call the meeting to order."Lia wasn't fazed at all.The person to her right who had spoken to her earlier was the first one to speak."I declare the first course of action to choose a new director.""You go ahead."Lia spoke.Well, no one expected that. "As we all know, Mr. Aster Brooks has sixty percent of shares with him. But he is not here now. And we don't accept you, his wife, as our director on his behalf. So we want to elect one among us."Lia didn't know if this was right. But she understood that they wanted a Brooks family member to be a director or a person chosen by themselves."I have the remaining forty shares represented by me."Lia understood that they want to take the helm of the company. Was it that easy?"So I am the new director."He rose from his chair and stood before Lia."Mrs. Brooks, I believe that chair belongs to me."Lia smiled at him."We didn't have a show of hands."The middle-aged man fumed."I have signed papers with me.""I was told that the paper
"Aunts, you should do whatever you want. If you want to live off the allowance, you could too. But don't do this just because someone orders you to."They nodded."Yes, now we will earn the money in the family and the finance matters will be handled to us."The second grandmother sat quietly watching."I don't know what to do to show my gratitude towards you all.""You don't have to. Aster helped us now we help him.""Second grandmother, how long are you staying here?""I will leave by today's second train."Lia nodded.She took them shopping. No matter what, daily necessities are necessary.They all separated on good terms. Lia knew that they would have to face the people in the big house by themselves. She could never speak there.And they had to fight for what they wanted."Are you done?""Yeah. It's been so tiring."Marvin drove back."You can sleep till we reach home.""No. Let's talk. What do you think is happening here? I could use your opinion."Here, the point that made the i
Lia fell asleep. What else could someone do when their brain hurts by thinking? She had only one option.Maybe everything would be well once she woke up. Like a system reset or something.Marvin contacted Levi."Any news now?""Brother, I have narrowed the places down. You will get an answer in twenty minutes."Marvin answered."You did a good job. Looks like you will take over the company for me someday.""Brother, I'm very busy. You should take Oggy with you. He is very serious about learning. And he likes to act. Make him work for you so someday he could act in a drama as a CEO."Marvin felt that it was a good idea."You are so clever. I think your ideas are also important. You will work one day a month from now on.""Brother, you-""Levi, maybe someday, if things like Aster's happen to us, you should at least know the basic info of our company."The other side was quiet."Brother, nothing will happen. I will come once a week, okay!""Okay!"Marvin smiled, one down, two to go."You
"I seem to hear that you dazzled the board!"Lia chuckled. She was talking with Aster on the phone. This phone call was made by her. She was worried that something was wrong with Aster so she needed to know again for sure.When she talked with him earlier, he seemed busy. Knowing he was okay, she was relieved.But she called again to see if he could say anything more."It was okay. I felt scared but I had to do that.""You did a good job. I found many hidden moles. At least the company will be uneventful for some time now."Lia also felt that this was a good outcome."I always wanted ask you. Did you tell Marvin about me? Like why I am your wife and I dress differently. It seems that they know. I'm just worried that they tell my family."Aster paused."I am sure that won't happen."Lia felt assured now. She felt that she should be the one who told her family the truth. Knowing it from others would be a betrayal. And she didn't want to hurt them like that. But when everything is done,
Only Aster knew how he came back. His kind was buzzing. The things he ignored came back to his mind. Why did the Lexor family start developing here? Why Marvin requested to live with him?Most importantly why Grandpa Lexor came to stay here. They were family. They were Lia's family. This explained why they knew everything about him and Lia. This was simply surprising. It meant that he should talk with Marvin.He waited for Marvin in his apartment for a long time. "You are good."Marvin spoke dryly.Aster stood up. He didn't know where to put his hands but he had to talk. "Brother, you are Lia's family."Marvin didn't say anything but his temperament changed. "Then I can talk to you about some things."He sat down."I don't like what you did."Aster nodded."Lia is not someone you can play with. I don't like your contract in any way. I'm quiet because I feel like she agreed. I'm not accepting her decision either but I have no say in this matter. But in any case, you are more at
Marvin and Oggy had a deep talk before they decided how to handle the matter between Aster and their family.Their grandfather had given his statement. Lia was not to be hurt in any way.This made things heavy.They had to move forward extremely cautiously. "You saw why, we have to now not act on Aster.""Brother, he is my best friend."Marvin glared at Oggy."Your best friend trapped your sister in a stupid agreement. He could have confessed to her straightforward instead of acting like a complete doofus CEO like in the novels."Oggy touched his nose."You are right. But brother, I know this, people in love lose their IQ. That's why he acted like this. Maybe he wanted to have his first and last relationship with our sister. Isn't this hood? If he asked someone else to act like his wife now. Wouldn't we be on the bad side?"Marvin glared more. "You know I'm right. It's just that he involved her in danger. But brother, Lia isn't a kid. She saw the out dug by him and she jumped in wi
Aster had just sent off the unwanted visitor when he found something else."Sir, I found a very suspicious activity."Ray called Aster and he hugged from his tone that Ray was really confused.Marvin had visited his new office and came back when he found Aster waiting for him."What's new?"Aster was depressed."I found that there is a new emerging force that is attacking my company. Can you track it?"Aster was sire that Marvin could help. He had forces that were superior to him."Show me."Marvin looked at the screen and frowned."This is not a white company. Most probably this should be some shell corporation and who is behind it, will take time to investigate.""Okay, I will be at ease with you looking at this."Aster had another reason to do this. He wanted to do other checks in the meantime.Marvin didn't bring his assistant here so I transferred the work to him.He had three assistants and they were trained to do specific tasks. One was his life assistant who helped in daily jo
When days pass by, you loss your perception. Because the lull you feel makes you let go of your worries. You feel nothing could go wrong. Life waits for you to feel those moments.You lose sight of all the worries and feel the light in your life. Everything seems all right. Lia felt the same. She didn't think anything could go wrong. Maybe except the shadow of the unknown murderer, there was nothjnf that prevented her from worrying.But that all broke when se saw something shocking. She was returning from a grocery run and she saw Aster getting out of a car. That was not his car because she knew his cars.It was a coincidence or something but Lia saw the driver look back at her.It was a young girl who smirked at her.Aster got out of the car and walked in.Lia watched the car leave and then she went in. She didn't take this matter to heart. Then again, why would she? Right?But she met with this situation again in the company.Lia had followed to check the progress of new Night li
