The young lady, Beth Forester titled her head towards her confidante who was a step behind her and asked in a whisper “Are they all looking at me weirdly or is it my imagination?”“Might be because eldest lady looks a lot like her mother.” Zada, who was Beth’s confidante and personal maid answered back in a whisper.Whatever news Chris published; it was also simultaneously projected on to the screen in the meeting room. It was no surprise that people in the room were looking at Beth with a gaze that was mixed with sympathy and disparagement; Beth was a splitting image of her mother who was projected on the screen.Beth adjusted her mood and was about to open her mouth when Finlay rushed to her side “My good daughter why are you here?” He didn’t have his usual indifference nor did he have a mocking attitude but rather one of a loving father.“Shouldn’t I come?” Beth asked softly as she distanced herself from Finlay.“Go home. Don’t make a scene here.” Finlay straightened his posture and
“Show of hands for the notion to venture into the entertainment business.” Mark returned to the business at hand once all the distractions quietened. No one dared.“Since there are no votes, the notion has been rejected.” Mark ruled before opening the floor once again for discussion “Any other topics for today?”“I think the idea of increasing footprint is a reasonable one.” Darcy sat forward as he took the floor “Asia is worth exploring.”“Yes, I think it is a good idea.” One of the board directors rushed to flatter; he was feeling anxious from the previous charade and wanted to use the opportunity reduce the impact of his previous indiscretion.“Let’s see a show of hands” Mark remained expressionless.All the Walters raised their hands; the rest raised their hands too but whether it was because they thought it was good idea or due to peer pressure, only they knew.“Alright, the notion is passed.” Mark looked around as he asked, “Who wants to volunteer to undertake exploring the marke
In the café, across from Walter Empire building, Daniel was sitting along with George watching the live feed fed by the surveillance camera that was attached to Amanda’s blouse as a button. What he didn't know was that he was not the only person watching the live feed, not that it would have made any difference even if he did. He did not care about what would happen to the Walters if their confidential information was exposed to their competitor; this was none of his concern.Daniel watched in jealousy with an unreconciled mind as Chris entered the room with both babies in his arms. He felt like his heart was smeared with an itchy lotion as he watched the happiness on Chris's face... that happiness should have been his! He didn’t stop to think why it wasn’t his anymore… he never once thought of his responsibility in this matter; in his mind, it was Chris who had interfered with his life and stole his wife and children… his happiness!“Che! Who are you showing off to, carrying two four-
Amanda didn’t hesitate, she ran out of the café and urged her driver to catch up to the grey Maserati car that was up ahead of them. They caught up once the Maserati stopped in front of the Galleria Victorio mall. Amanda waited in her car till Elizabeth entered the mall and got off in an unhurried manner. She followed behind Elizabeth for a while before bumping into her accidentally.“Amanda…….” Elizabeth called out hesitantly as she saw the face of the young woman she had bumped into, spilling coffee all over her coat. She wasn't sure, it had been many years since she saw this young lady.“Auntie Elizabeth...” Amanda stepped back feigning shock as she wiped the coffee stains off her coat.“What a surprise... I haven’t seen you in ages” Elizabeth smiled amiably before apologizing “I am so sorry about the coffee… how about I buy you another one?” Elizabeth tried to help with wiping off the coffee stains as she chatted.“Don’t worry… It’s just coffee.” Amanda laughed as she waved her han
Emile’s day was probably the least eventful and exciting. The client who was booked in to see her was pretty normal other than having a few weird quirks. For example, she did not like water being placed on her left, did not like flowers placed in the room she was, hated kids were some on the long list. But as a client, she was not that difficult or demanding. Her requests compared to other more agreeable clients were far too simple.“That wasn’t as hard as I anticipated.” Emile smiled as snuggled in Chris’s embrace at the end of the day with the kids playing on the carpet.“Do I take it that it went well?” Chris asked with a doting smile.“Um” Emile nodded with a smile in her eyes as she raised her head to look at Chris “I was literally basking in master’s glory. She is a huge fan of master’s designs.”“There’s nothing wrong with that…. we are family anyway.” Chris shrugged as though it was a matter of fact.“How was your day?”Chris’s lips curled up smugly as he said, “They think too
“I…… I ….” Simon stuttered; he didn’t know the answer; his first instinct was to deny; ‘Why would he chase after someone who didn’t cherish him?’ But when he opened his mouth, his answer was most tactful “Wife, you know I do terribly on hypothetical multiple-choice questions… please spare me.” He hugged her close and muttered with a smug smile “Luckily my wife has great taste, and I won’t have to face such a situation in my entire life.”“Chris isn’t bothered about these deals either.” Henry spoke once again bringing the topic back on track “the only reason he is participating is to give us face….” Henry paused before correcting himself with a chuckle “by us, I mean Emile. The bastard doesn’t give a damm about his folks, do you think he will have us in his eyes?”“How is it giving us face?” Simon grumbled “Isn’t it just cooperating? Doesn’t that mean taking benefits we each need?” Simon felt that first brother was simply adding gold on Chris’s face even though his previous misunderstan
Walter banquet was one of the biggest events hosted privately by any family; this year it was even more special as it marked the 50th year since the inception of Walter Empire, from a single storey 10 people business to its current form with 50,000 people employed across the many entities that the business was spread across and a HQ in a 26 storey building, that had become a landmark, in other words, face of the city itself.While the Walters busied themselves with the preparation of the banquet, they didn’t forget to assign some of their men with the task of hunting for the identity of the mysterious person who wanted to disrupt their peace, only Chris was the exception. He was not bothered with either task as he was run of his feet with Neil's problem. No one held it against him as they knew what he was preoccupied with; they knew they owed Neil and his master a great deal for helping them out of disaster last time. They, Walters were not an ungrateful bunch; they would pay back hund
Chris rested, closing his eyes as they flew; he kept replaying every message that was transmitted by his team to double check if he had missed anything. the journey that would normally take 10 and a half hour was covered by Chris’s men in 4 owing to the modified super speed of the chopper that they were flying in.“Boss, the reason for not receiving signals is not because this area is out of coverage of normal network.” One of Chris’s men, second in command under Night Mage, Mage 001 spoke as soon as their chopper entered the forest that was their area of interest.Chris opened his eyes and looked at Mage 001 prompting him to continue.“Boss, I am not sure how it works but master had previously mentioned it in passing. There is a technique with crystals to stop transmission of radio and electromagnetic waves.” Mage 001 spoke in a not so confident voice before nodding in confidence “But I can bet my life on the fact that there are crystals and a lot of them in the area we just passed.”
