‘It’s been long time, Martinez.’ Edward was sitting on a boulder, the environment where he sat, surrounded by the old and big trees. ‘The place where I am now, it wasn’t The Jedediah Redwoods park as Mom used to take us there, but it’s the place I mostly visit whenever I need you and remember you.’ He sighed, looking around, the streaming little river was near. The voice of chirping birds, bustling wind hit him. It was hard breeze and actually made him quite chilling. He was just a passenger of the train of his thoughts, running into the dark tunnel. He just felt to enjoy it or tried to negotiate the feeling of blue battling with some old memories inside. ‘We always like being in this kind of place. Mom told us to do it, hearing the sound of nature as listening to our hearts. Though it was indifferently difficult to do both at the same time.’ Edward held his hair as the wind messed it up, falling into his eyes. ‘We used to love river that the water is clean like a cry
The day was reached to its warm temperature outside. A young woman got off from the red sport car. Her hair was short black with a style of Cleopatra. She walked confidently to the table where a woman waiting for her. Every step she walked, making some men’s eyes put on her. “Mrs. Susan Montegro?” That young well dressed woman in her mini black skirt and black outfit stood next to the table, greeted at the older woman with a hat. Catching the young woman from head to toe with her skeptical stare, elegantly put her tea cup on the table, that woman called by her name as Susan Montegro, narrowed her eyes. “What could I do for you?” She asked the young woman politely in her tone. She was a woman in her last thirties, had blonde barbie liked hair, a pair of blue eyes adorned in brave black mascara. ‘Susan Montegro, I could see she has smart mind and I should play smart in delivering the truth about her husband.’ Elena in her disguise sighed. “Could I ask your time?”
“Elena, it’s nice to see you again.” Elena found Emir Drake was standing in the front of her table. “Mr. Emir?” Her pupils were widened. She didn’t expect to meet the man in that office. She grabbed some scattered documents on the table and gathered it into one pile. The man dragged the seat and sat in her sight. He beamed at her. “I think it’s not a coincidence to meet you here.” He stopped talking, looking at her and he called a man from the front desk to come towards them. He rose just to talk to him, walking away some steps from the place where Elena was taking a seat. Elena watched them talking before she put her eyes back to her gadget, checking some messages. “I am sorry, Elena. I just confirmed how fast my documents could be processed.” Emir said and returned back to his seat after a few minutes then. They were sitting in a nice open aired public spot as Elena enjoyed reading her documents while she waited for her next turn to be called. “Are you goin
Edward thudded his fingers on the table. The meeting was over and he waited for Bernard, his assistant, to read him once again the notes. “You know Bernard I just met Curtis’s wife sister. She was with a woman…” he paused, looking at Bernard who taking a seat in his left side. “Mrs. Susan Montegro?” Bernard put the cup of warm tea, he had made for Edward with no sugar as his boss asked, to the next of Edward. He lifted one of his eyebrows as he felt curious. Edward nodded and took the tea for some sips. “Yes. Her husband, Fred Tiger…wait, I remember that I got invitation for yacht trips with a club where he belongs to that club.” He checked his gadget and smiled after reading it. “Put the date into my schedule! After we return from the western district to check what kind of problem occur there…” Bernard stopped writing, “It means that you are requiring the yacht should be prepared for the competition?” Edward shrugged. “I’ll ponder it.” He sipped his tea again. Ber
Edward sighed and grabbed the bouquet of roses from the seat next to him. He got off from his blue metallic Porsche. Soaked in his thought the name that Granny mentioned as the guest, twisted by his curiosity the purpose behind that dinner was about. ‘How sad granny if I rejected this invitation would be.’ He opened the door handle of the mansion, a modern house of a landlord with some old glamorous interiors, some artefacts of old money family heritage in farming business adorned the front part. ‘I don’t have any ideas who is the woman she invited for the dinner. Granny only said she’s my old friend that she has changed a lot.’ He sighed and closed the door silently but as he turned around… “Edward Philippe.” A woman’s voice thrust his hearing as he walked into the house. Granny was there but she only threw a smile at him before disappeared to the kitchen as he guessed. “Sorry?!” Edward curled his eyes as he tried hard to recall the woman’s name, standing in the fron
The helicopter bringing Edward and Bernard had landed on the western district factory area. Edward was walking to approach three men in suits. They were welcoming both of Edward and Bernard. He put off his sunglasses and saw the man who should be interrogated with the chaos happening. “Jason, what’s going on?” He shook the hand of a man with beard as he called by the name ‘Jason.’ Another man interrupted and shook the hand of Edward and Bernard. “Eric West. I am the new CEO of western district, Mr. Edward.” Edward smiled. “Nice to meet you.” Eric West was a man hit early forties, well built in a good shape performance with his glasses and looked quite identical with Bernard in his hair style and outlook. “I am sorry. I haven’t introduced myself since today is my first day of working in this factory.” He explained to Edward in the way they walked towards the factory building heading to the office. “I know. Bernard told me that Mr. Cedric resigned without any p
Bernard ran into Edward resting on the pavements in the front of the office gate. Edward had been taken aside from the crowd. A doctor and two rest others from the factory’s clinic were checking the condition of Edward, Eric West and Jason. They were helped by some office employees. “Mr. Edward, could you hear me?” In quite panic expression, Bernard knelt and tried to speak with Edward, he saw some blood streaming down. The doctor asked him staying calm while he was opening up Edward’s outer outfit. It seemed he needed to check Edward’s chest area. “We are going to let you know his condition later. Now, please staying calming down.” He spoke in his solely voice while his hands were working to examine Edward. Edward’s white shirt was becoming red as the blood stained it. Bernard clenched his hand and rose from his kneeling position. He made a phone call, his voice sounded throaty, a bit shaking. “We should fly the three of them to the near hospital immediately.” The do
“Hey…” Emma welcomed Edward as he slowly opened his eyes. Her blue eyes were widened sparkling to embrace him. The misty scene was shadowing in his eyes for some seconds. His screwing eyes tried to avoid the light in the room penetrating the pupils. “Hi…” Edward sighed and looked away from her. His voice sounded lame. He wetted his creaked lips. “Granny.” He welcomed the grip of Mrs. Arlina on his fingers. “How you feel?” She asked him while her warm hand caressed the man’s cheek resting on the bed with some infuses on his hand. “I feel dull.” Edward smirked and asked for water to drink. Emma gave it to him and she let him sucking through the straw. “Enough. Thank you.” He said and watched his surroundings. “You’re getting better, sweetie.” Emma beamed at him, staring with her umbrageous eyes. He sighed and smirked. “ I will.” His stare looked not enough shiny. Everything seemed white in dull color that he found no shining days inside the room. Only some equi
