Leo sighs leaning back on his chair. His eyes traced around his new office once again. He had no count of how many times he looked at his office with no expression and no feelings. He surely loved it when he got seated on the board, but right now, he was feeling extremely bad and dumb about not having proper knowledge before getting into the position. Dejected by his dumbness, he picked up the landline and dialed the same number that he had dialed for more than nine times in the past two hours. He patiently waited for the phone call to be answered.
“Hello, This is Luke Sawyer’s office,” came Madeleine’s voice. Leo winced at her cheerful voice since he will be making her voice go dull in a moment. “Madeleine, it is me, Leo.” it took a moment for Madeleine to speak again, “Yes, sir. Tell me, what can I do for you?”
Leo fidgeted with the paper in front of him, “
Luke had been working in his office since morning. He was as diligent as anyone could ever be. He did not even take a short break. Luke sighed, closing a file. He cracked his knuckles and neck in order to relieve some stress in his muscles and bones. His body was indicating that it is running out of energy and he needs to rest. But his mind was telling him to grab the next file and continue his work. Luke shook his head and drank some water. He could not let his body take control for this moment. Luke continued his work. Suddenly, he remembered the meeting that he had to attend in a few hours. He searched for a related file. He looked for the file in his files rack and the shelves everywhere. But he could not find it. Luke grabbed the phone and dial
Days and months rolled in and Ruby was now in her second trimester. And she had been religiously following a healthy lifestyle. Apart from the headache of finding evidence to convict Anna and Robert, she did not have anything else to worry about. One semester had ended and for the last semester, she had chosen online classes. Since it did not require much theory work."I have a suggestion to make," Luke said. It was a weekend and they were now seated on the couch in the living room. Ruby was laying her head on Luke's shoulder. "What is it?" She asked without looking at him."You know, the last time when we went to the hospital, we noticed that maternity classes. I think you should join it. It would be better to have a little knowledge about taking care of a baby." Ruby looked up at him and said, "If I have to join, then you will also join because you are
As soon as the door bell rang, everyone in the living room got alerted. Gia, who was having juice near the dining table, immediately dropped it down and came to the living room. Leo, Gabriel, Ruby and Gia stayed back fixated in their seats while Luke opened the door."Come in, we were waiting for you," Luke said to his personal investigator, Jeff.Jeff silently followed him inside. He took notice of everyone in the room before taking a seat."So, did you get anything relevant, Jeff?" Gabriel asked curiously. He could not control his urge to know more about the concerned matter.Jeff nodded his head and picked up his briefcase. He handed a picture of a young couple to Luke. Ruby, who was sitting next to him, peeked into the picture.
The morning rolled in quite late today. Last night seemed to be the longest night everyone had in their lives. Even the simplest tasks like getting out of the bed and showering was a hard thing."Are you feeling okay? Is the temperature of the milk okay?" Luke asked Ruby as he rubbed her hair. They were now sitting on the couch in the living room. Luke had barely got her to get out of the bed to begin the day. He understood that Ruby was beyond devastated about her parents and he had to be very patient with her.Ruby took the glass and nodded her head and went on to have milk in silence, while Luke sat beside her and checked his phone. There were messages from Leo and Gabriel. They had told him that they all would swing by his house later in the day. They surely had a lot to talk about."Let's shower and get ready,
“A friendly advice, confess to your crimes and accept the punishment for it. Or else…”It was a note that Robert received in today morning’s mail. Right now, Robert was standing in the hall way of the Sawyer estate and he flipped the mail cover but it was all empty. It was an absolutely anonymous letter. He looked around to make sure no one noticed him or the anonymous note that he had received. Some footsteps grabbed his attention. He let out a sigh of breath when he saw his sister.“What happened to you? Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?” Anna questioned her brother as she grabbed the mail on the table. Robert softly mumbled, “Nothing.'' He did not know what else he could say in this situation.Anna looked for her mails and she picked three letters that were sen
Madeleine entered the secret mansion of Anna in the woods. She stylishly walked inside only to see Anna sitting in the main seat, flaming with anger. And her brother Robert sitting by her side and Mason and another guy, who she did not recognize.“Madeleine, good you are at the right time. I wanted to ask you something very important,” Anna exclaimed as soon as she noticed Madeleine. “Yes, maám, please go ahead,” Madeleine politely replied.“Have you noticed any changes in Luke? Like has he been talking to my niece Gia or Leo or anyone else, mostly secretly,” Anna asked. The restlessness in her voice was very evident."Well, Luke sir has not talked to Leo sir much except for work related things. And as per my knowledge, Luke sir has met your niece, Gia on a few occasions, s
"Surprise…. Mr David Sawyer is now going to receive a detailed letter about your past. You just have one last chance to stop it. So, go and grab it before the letter reaches your husband’s hand.P.S. The mail is going to the Sawyer Corporation. So, I am not sure to whose hand it reaches first."Anna felt a spine chilling shiver run through her body. She began trembling and shaking. Robert grabbed the paper before it fell down. He read it and had a blank expression later on.Madeleine came back with a drink and gave it to Anna. She noticed everyone's shocked expression.Suddenly, Madeleine's phone made a message notification. She opened it and looked up to face Anna, "It is Luke sir. He is looking for me. There is a meeting with Mr Salisbury in
Ruby and Luke had been just lounging around in their living room. Ruby was laying on the couch and Luke massaging her feet while they both watched the show on the TV. It was the weekend and they had decided to just stay at home and be lazy bugs. Ruby hummed as Luke massaged her foot. Luke was being such a darling and taking care of her despite being tired from work himself. Suddenly, Ruby’s phone rang loudly, making them startle a little bit. Ruby lightly groaned as her phone was away but closer to Luke. He chuckled at her and grabbed her phone. ‘Gabrial’s name flashed on the screen. He frowned and asked, “Why is Gabriel calling you?” “Receive the phone call then you will know,” Ruby replied casually. Even she did not know why Gabriel was calling her on a weekend. Lu
