Three days later, there was an uproar in the AR Group. The new app released by AR Group a week before had a privacy issue, and there were reports of a suspected breach of user data.The designs of a Shopping complex in S city drafted by the AR group turned out to have several security issues. The experts analyzed that it would fall apart even before completion.In the hour of crisis, the CEO, co-founder - William Brown - was nowhere to be seen.The rumors said he was running after a woman after being in an ‘off’ state for more than a month. Felix - the CEO’s trusted assistant, and Albert - co-founder and Chief Legal Officer - were left to pick up the slack. Felix was sick, and the constant coughing and running nose were not encouraging.Albert’s focus was more on his cold and estranged girlfriend of a few weeks only.Asteria heard the news and came back to support them, but she was out of her depth and only really served to distract an already out-of-depth Felix. AR Group was bein
The AR group was in crisis, and CARE was under scrutiny.Yet the founders -William and Rosaline - spent their days in each other’s arms.They seemed unbothered about what was going on outside.They had spent a month and a half apart without even talking on the phone.And a month before that, they had been in a tense state, with Rosaline getting nightmares and flinching from everyone’s touch.That had been a difficult phase as Rosaline would instinctively flinch and fight as soon as she was touched when her eyes were closed.It had taken one month of William’s meticulous care before Rosaline finally broke through and got better.But before they could relish in the joy, their intricate investigation and trap had finally laid fruit.The time had come for retaliation, and they had formed a plan.Acting as they fought had not been easy, though the cold frosty atmosphere had come naturally.William and Tessa had wanted to postpone the plan as neither were happy with the idea of Rosaline cel
The press conference got quite the viewership.AR Group and CARE, albeit separately, had been in the limelight over the last two years.The recent mud-slinging had been quite the trending topic. The press conference started on a quiet note as the host began by introducing William as the CEO and co-founder of AR Group.He had always been mysterious and low-key, so this was quite the revelation.Many viewers were astonished, knowing that the rising power in business was such a young man. The aura of mystery had increased as he wore a mask and hat to hide his face. Some were quite impressed with his level of success, while others thought it was proof of allegations as he could not have legit been that successful by himself. The host listed out his degrees and achievements over the years.Moreover, he showed actual awards and certifications with a copy from the police that validated the legitimacy.The host changed tunes and called upon the people from SOS, the police, the orphanage,
On the other side, the entire AR Group watched the press conference together.Felix, who was now miraculously cured, handed in several termination letters to many employees who had been making things difficult for AR Group.The people who firmly supported the firm and helped were marked and admired.Albert gave everyone two days off, knowing William wouldn’t return before having his fill of his girlfriend. He decided to spend that time with Tessa instead.They had been going strong, though he was not very happy about Tessa constantly dragging Rosaline into their relationship.Felix went to NewT city with Asteria to help her out with work and spend more time with her and the CARE inhabitants. He liked the atmosphere in CARE. It was more like a big joint family than an orphanage or elderly care.Besides, helping with the new CARE branch construction meant a new set of responsibilities. He was gearing up for it.On the other hand, William and Rosaline strolled around the beach leisurel
William locked the gate and the doors carefully and reactivated the burglar alarm before making his way inside the house.He sat on the bed with her still in his arms as he asked, “Hungry?”“And if I said yes, would you feed me?”Rosaline teased, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.“Yes, anything for you, my little piggy.” He said, biting the tip of her nose.“Then, I want chocolate lava cake.”Rosaline said as she slipped out of his arms and to the bed, wrapping herself in the comforter.“Be right back,” William said, shaking his head at her childishness. When William came back, the room looked different.It had only taken him a few minutes to heat choco-lava cake and plate it.But the bedroom now had all the lights closed. Silk drapes were twirling in the four-poster bed.All lights were off, and there were scented candles on the table. Rosaline was lying on the bed with her face buried in the pillow, no longer wrapped in a comforter but wearing sexy lingerie with a transparen
While William and Rosaline spent their time having fun, their families were in an uproar.None of them knew that William had a company of his own.They had all assumed that he was working for someone else as an elite employee.Rosaline seemed to be the founder of CARE.They did not know what to think anymore.Miranda remembered that before they knew Lina was dating Liam, she had told them that her boyfriend was a businessman. At that time, they had assumed she was just trying to deflect them. It turned out to be true.Most of all, Miranda was worried that her little Lina must be overworking herself doing her job at Scott designs and managing CARE. She gave Elisa a call and asked if she knew anything about that.Elisa confirmed that Lina had told her she was also working for CARE, but she had not mentioned that she was the founder.Then she recounted that a boy called Timothy had come asking for help when CARE opened a branch in Apex city.He had asked for things that just happened t
The next few months went in relative peace. The ones responsible for framing AR Group and CARE got punished.AR Group and CARE had both risen in popularity. There was speculation on the internet about what Rosaline - founder of CARE - looked like and her relationship with William. Many conspiracy theories were out there, but none came near to the truth.Neither the Brown nor the Dayne family had questioned the pair on them being the founders of the two organizations.Their relationship with the families was cordial, and Rosaline’s relationship with her family kept improving.William had hired a bodyguard. He excelled in reconnaissance and was good with shadowing and surveillance. He also planned to train a few people in advance for better security. Timothy was doing great. He had made a few friends and was doing quite well.Though Rosaline had not been happy with the number of subjects he was taking, she was, nonetheless, proud of the effort he was putting into it. Albert and Te
They went to Aunty Aria’s home after laying out the overall plan for AR Group for the next five to ten years. Sure, there would be a good number of changes, but having a good overall vision helped gear things accordingly.Rosaline helped Aria in the kitchen while Tessa chatted with John.John was a lawyer, and she learned quite a few things from him.Rosaline called Tessa over when they were making filets.The three got along quite well.William would frequently glance at the kitchen and smile, looking at Aria and Rosaline getting along well. They had such a good rapport.He thought that was what a home should be like, with people getting along well.Thankfully, the equation between their own families was improving as well. John had noticed William’s occasional glances at the kitchen, so he could not help but tease him.“Al, is he always that clingy with his girlfriend?” John asked seriously.Albert had noticed the mischievous glint in his father’s eyes.“Yes, Dad. She had him whip
