Brooks is pacing back and forth in his room with a glass of wine in his hand. His hair is disheveled and his breath is erratic.His mouth is set in a hard line and his eyes are as red as fresh ripe tomatoes.The veins on his neck are throbbing and he is holding the glass of wine so tightly as if he wants to crush it. His jaw is clenched and he looks more like a ghost of himself.His buddy Ryder is staring at him with concern etched on his face. He doesn't know what is wrong with his friend and has tried to get him to talk but he wouldn't and so decides to just sit, watch and wait till his buddy gets back himself."Ah!" Brooks suddenly wails out and throws the glass in his hand against the wall shattering it into several pieces. "How could they! How could they!" He gnashes his teeth and his breathing quickens. "After all I did for them! After every fucking thing that I did for them! I fucking made them and yet they insulted me in such a way!" He ruffles his hair, walks to his little
Just as Lucien walks out of the hidden side of the company with a bright smile on his face he hears babbles and giggles and his brows curve up and he tilts his head.One of the voices talking is so familiar to him that he has to glance toward where it is coming from and there she is. Brianna Pearson in the new car he just got for his amor!His eyes dilate a bit because he didn't expect to see her there but he quickly composes himself. He is a bit infuriated to see her in the car he got for Juliet and he still feels like ripping her off of everything because she doesn't deserve it one bit! While he is reminiscing on that he picks up what they are discussing and clenches his fist! They are among those playing games with his company and draining its resources.He wants to go right there and confront them on their unlawful attitude but he recalls that he needs to walk in before she notices him. Not just because she will start questioning him on what he is doing there but because he is o
Brianna has never been won in an argument before but right now she couldn't do anything else but nod. As much as she can say that her family is not much cultured she knows her dad is strict and won't waste a second disowning her if he ever gets to find out about her sexual escapades. And in such a case if he speaks not even her mum will be able to stop him. Dead end for her. She has managed to keep her acts a secret from both the news and her family for a while now and intends to keep it that way. She has known Lucien for a while now and one thing she is sure of is that he never backbites so she didn't feel scared that he knows about it because she knows as long as she doesn't expose him he won't too. And as much as she hates the fact that she has a deal with him she knows it's a fair deal and one she will guide with her life. Noticing the expression on her face and reading meaning into it Lucien exhales and smiles. "You already know that I don't speak much and never backbites Br
Lucien sizes up the big-bodied men before him and shakes his head. "I give you both a second to get out of my way or one of you will be injured by the time I'm done." He meant every word he just said. Perhaps everyone has a patience level and right now Lucien has lost his. His eyes are deep red and he keeps stamping his right foot repeatedly on the floor while stroking his knuckles. After all, it's been a long time since he punched anyone. He wouldn't mind disfiguring the face of one of them and will be a fool if he ends up not doing that after the insults. He can take insults from the Pearsons and ladies because he doesn't hit ladies but any guy that dares him he gives a dosage of his own medicine. Within him he somehow doesn't want them to move, he wants them to prove stubborn so he can show one of them or perhaps the two of them what he is made of. Just as Lucien wants them to prove stubborn the guards laugh at him. "I give you both a second to get out of my way or one of you
Before the blink of an eye, Lucien and Mr. Corbin reach the supposed office of the CEO at the topmost part of the building and Mr. Corbin quickly wipes off the already clean chair for Lucien to sit down. Once Lucien has settled down he rushes to the coffee machine and makes a cup of coffee and hands it to him but Lucien softly declines. "I'm not here for coffee Connor neither am I interested in the meeting anymore. I'm here now for an entirely different thing." Mr. Corbin gulps and in the so cold atmosphere beads of sweat appear all over his face and keeps dropping droplet by droplet. If he is not here for the meeting then why is he here? He wonders but quickly shuts his mind as he recalls the CEO of a company can not be questioned for the reason he is in his company. He smiles a bit and tries to calm himself but Lucien's icy gaze on him isn't helping. Instead of helping him relax it makes him so uneasy that he just doesn't know if to stand and run or if to continue sitting. H
Although filthy rich Mr. Santiago is a man who loves making more progress and has this dream of being not just the wealthiest man in Virginia but the country. It shouldn't be surprising that the man chooses to run his own company which is the main family company while his daughter Juliet runs hers. Juliet has always wanted to be an independent lady and when the chance struck for her to be a CEO she didn't waste a second grabbing it. Her father although angry at first that her daughter could leave his company to open hers later relaxed and took it as nothing serious. Since then both have been running their companies smoothly and peacefully. Mr. Santiago due to his dream of being the wealthiest man in the country labors day and night to make it happen while Juliet runs hers not as if she competes with anybody. She just runs hers because it makes her happy and also makes her fill fulfilled. Mr. Santiago has always been wanting to be a business partner of the Millers and just now as h
Maya glances at Mr. Santiago at the last statement and drops the note. "That is all sir." She says as her just relaxed face suddenly turns into one with a wide smile. "I'm so happy for you– for us sir! Congrats to you and us. This is very great news. Woohoo!" She makes a quick body dance and giggles. Mr. Santiago laughs at her poor dancing skills and pats her on the shoulder. "I'm as much as happy as you are Maya but I'm just wondering why the Scion of the Millers will come himself to deliver a contract to us and why he will do it a day after we quarreled." He sighs and rubs his hair. "It just doesn't sit well with me." Maya places a finger into her mouth and tilts her head as her mind roams about what Mr. Santiago just said. Although just boss and worker both share a greater bond between them and tend to discuss things way past business with each other. After several minutes of thinking, she shakes her head as she couldn't place her hand on anything and sighs. "I'm sorry sir. Noth
