Ciara sat in her office, patiently waiting on her Secretary, Sheila's arrival. She checked her time for the umpteenth times, it's only ten minutes left until Sheila's arrival. Ciara had all the day to herself, it's only half an hour before dusk and Gerald had taken Herzl out as usual, It's only until after dusk before they returned.

She had promised to come pick him up from school, but it skipped her memory —or maybe she couldn't, due to lots on her desk; she had asked Gerald to make it up to Herzl on her behalf.

Instead of staying idle, Ciara decided to keep herself busy with the newspaper one of her staff had left for her earlier that morning. Since the past few months, Ciara had preferred reading the newspaper articles than listening to digital news or checking them up on her mobile.

Several minutes had passed and the soft few taps on the door snapped Ciara out of her reading state as she raised her head, fixating her gaze on the door.

“Come in…” She lazily answered, her gaze stil

    “Ah —Here it is…" Ciara uttered after her satisfying nod and urged Sheila to take the sheet from her. “...have it.”Sheila collected the worksheet from Ciara as proposed and went through its content cautiously as ever. The beginning of the content wasn't new to Sheila, it was the same as she has expected it after she's been told about the shareholding.Slowly getting indulged in the content she was reading, Sheila's face crumpled down into a deep frown, her brows were knotted with a few visible lines on her forehead —the company's name was enough to force her into having such an expression on her face because she finds it strange. When she heard a company was needing investors and shareholders, as usual, Sheila's thought was that it was one of those few companies that did not have the audience enough to get to the spotlight —not a company like the one contained in what she was reading.'T —the Lerman's Company?’ She asked with in herself as her brows were further creased in obfuscati

    The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Ryan sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his never-ending sigh. Of course, he had many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seemed to be in fuzzy, he managed to force his focus on the wheels —he couldn't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Ryan did not want that to happen to him once again, he dreaded the thought of it. He had almost seen death once —he won't face it this time.He's currently facing a lot, but losing his life shouldn't be the thought on his mind. His mother —he had stressed her enough with his continuous and never seems to end escapades lately, should he add more to it? No, right?In times like this, Ryan wished he could turn the hand of time and go back to those days —particular the day he started to go astray; the day he started turn

    Ryan collected the file from Sheila and shrugged his shoulders lightly before opening the file and slowly, he went through it. His facial expression was blank, giving no thoughts to what he was thinking as he digs more into the file's content.Slowly, his facial expression on his face slowly changed, his blank expression gathering more emotion —a bright one at that; he definitely did not expect what he was reading as he tries hard to conceal his emotion.“Is this what your company refers to as a fair price?” He asked her, his brows raised slowly, causing creased lines on his forehead. Sheila was confused and Miriam, on the other hand, was curious as to what her boss read in the file.“Yeah. Why?” Sheila requested, with an obfuscated look. “Is there something wrong with it, eh? That's what the company is ready to pay for the shareholding fee.”“Oh, I see…" Ryan muttered, trailing off, and said nothing else after that. He was still in a daze as at why the company would offer such a huge

    They both watched Sheila leave in silence and after a few minutes, Ryan stood up from his seat and walked over to the office's window with his hands intertwined behind him. He stood by the window, staring outside, his gaze was on the vast parking lots.He silently watched Sheila walked majestically towards the red kia amongst the rest of the cars, hopped in and drove away and out of the company's premises, the tires screeching for a few seconds against the tiled floors.“She seems like an interesting Lady to me.” He began, breaking the awkward silence between them since Sheila had left. “—and she also has good eyes for business, I could say. She is good at negotiations and talking her way out, I like her spirit and aura too.”“Yeah, I know. She seems to be the type with a noticeable presence.” Miriam said, admitting to Ryan's observation, her gaze on his back view. “I had thought she's a business owner with the type of aura she possesses, I was surprised she's just a personal assistan

    “You should know better than anyone, Milan.” Ciara muttered in a sharp tone, few lines were visible on her forehead. “I don't accept such a proposal, cancel it as soon as you can to avoid giving him false hope and impression.”Swiftly, she dropped the dial phone receiver with a small sigh and rubbed her temples afterward as if she were trying to wade off the invincible headache she was having. “Ah —work!” She lamented under her breath, in a sharp yet weary tone.The soft knock on the door interrupted the calm yet awkward silence, snapping Ciara off her daze. “Come in…" She lazily uttered, her gaze solely fixated on her desk.The door creaked opened the next few seconds, with the soft clinking of heels against the floor following suit. “Ma'am…" The voice called Ciara's attention.—instead of a proper reply, Ciara gestured for her to sit, without raising her head to spare her a glance. “Sit, Sheila.” She muffled out slowly. “What's the outcome? I'm curious about it.”Sheila smiled was f

    “Did you inform them about the meeting, as I've asked of you yesterday?” He asked her, searching through his drawer frantically.“I do, sir…" Miriam's reply was short and plain, nodding her head positively but at a slow pace. “I wrote them a group text, and they all replied to it, but still, I'll send a brief reminder when it's almost the time.”“Thank you, Miriam,” he said with a sigh of relief, finally locating the document he had been searching for. “It's important that everyone is aware and prepared for the meeting.” He smiled warmly at her, appreciating her diligence and attention to detail.He did not tell her anything about what's needed to be at the meeting, but Miriam was sure it was because of the previous day incident —the anonymous company that was interested in becoming a shareholder with them and their tempting offer. Her boss rarely calls meetings and even if he does call one, he never showed up; always leaving them to decide the fate of the meeting and expecting feedb

    Ryan was exhausted due to the day's work, he's been working overtime the last few days, he felt he needed no time to lag behind and needed to fill in all the lapses as possibly as he can —any other things that come in as aid should just be an addition to his tireless hardworking.He caused whatever ill fate that has befallen him, and he should be the one to bear the consequence of his mistakes and recklessness. Most times, he felt bad to see his staff too, working overtime and going home quite much later than they were supposed to.None of them was reluctant nor say a word against him; not even did anyone think of resigning from work. During times, he did feel gratitude towards them, they had decided to stand by him during his hard times too —most especially Miriam, she never stops putting him on track whenever she felt he's losing his way.Ryan knew he couldn't be more lucky than he was already —he got the kind of staff needed and the support too, they made sure he did not lack that

    “I'll be back from work later than usual today, don't stay up late if I don't come back early.” Ryan told his mother, as he made to pick his briefcase. “I'll be spending a couple of days here with you, I feel really empty living alone in that big house —it's scary, something.”His mother smiled, relieved that he was going to stay with her for a while. “Of course, dear. I'm always here for you,” she said, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. “During the weekend, we can go to the park and enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery.”“My schedules are tight these days, and I'll be working during the weekend too, I can't promise you that.” He replied to her slowly, politely turning her offer down.Mrs. Lerman did not bother to reply as she was trying to conceal the surprise she felt, her gaze solely fixated on her son. She was happy to have her son at her home, even if it was for a short while. She hoped that they could spend some quality time together and catch up on each other's lives.Ry

    "There she is..." Jamel whispered but audible enough to Alex's hearing, who only nodded with out a reply as he strode towards Ms. Carter. They both exchanged pleasantries before he had his seat opposite her."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter." Alex said as he sat down. Ms. Carter looked at him with an inscrutable expression, her green eyes glittering."The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Alex." she replied, her voice smooth and calm. "I understand you're the CEO of The Williams cooperation. It's quite an impressive company, I've heard lots about it."Alex smiled slightly but it was enough to brighten the atmosphere. "Thank you, but I'm hardly the only one responsible for its success. I'm lucky to have a great team." He uttered, still maintaining his slight smile. "A great team, and a great leader." Ms. Carter vocalized with a few head nod. With out much further ado, she cleared her throat, deciding to go straight to the point. "I supposed you are yet to find a shareholder yet, or ha

    When Lisa walked into her office, she was surprised to find that Judas was not there. On a normal day, Judas would be the first one to greet her upon her arrival. But today, he was nowhere to be found. Lisa was confused and concerned, so she decided to call him to find out what was going on.When she pulled out her phone, she quickly dialed Judas's number. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer after two try. She had wanted to dial the number for the third time but shrug it off, and decided to keep her phone.Just when she was about to do as thought, the phone rang, vibrating softly in her grip. She checked the caller — it was Judas. With a deep frown settling on her face, she reluctantly picked the call. "Hey..." Judas hailed dryly from the other end. "Sorry, I screened your call. I was about parking when you called so I couldn't answer the phone." "Where are you?" Lisa questioned instead, ignoring his excuses. "I just entered my office and find it empty — you aren't her

    "I know what I'm saying is true, Lisa." Andy insisted, seeing the doubt in Lisa's eyes. "Since you left for Los Angeles and made me the acting chairman, my father has been pressuring me to take over the company." Andy went as far as explaining every little detail to Lisa not leaving one out of it. He went as far as telling her how Xavier left home since he refuse to dance to his tunes and even him going to apologize to his father thinking maybe he had change. Lisa was dumbfounded after listening to all what Andy had said, even though she had expected those cunning men not to back away easily. The one she mostly find hard to believe was Xavier cutting ties with his son over his petty greed but since it's coming out from Andy's mouth, she has no other choice than to believe it. "— I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't let them hurt you. I've watched you grown up and I see how kind and considerate you've been..." Andy muttered slowly in conclusion. "I won't possibly be at peace if I

    As Andy stood there, staring at his father, he knew that their relationship was irreparably broken. No matter what he said or did, he would never be able to repair the damage that had been done.The man standing in front of him was not the father he had once known and loved. He was a stranger, a man consumed by greed and ambition. He was lost to him forever.Slowly, he turned and began to walk away. He didn't look back, didn't say another word. He simply left, and never looked back.Andy couldn't help but wondered how his father had turned this way — at this stage, he's beyond repair and no matter the amount of words said could bring back his old self which seems to be lost forever.‘Am I really doing the right thing?’ He asked himself, giving his actions a second thought. ‘Leaving him and walking out of his life the moment he's alone and needed someone by his side, is it really okay to desert him like this?’He's not alone, he has his brother who are always supporting him, no matter

    "Whether it's sinful or not doesn't matter to me." Xavier cut his son off, matching his angry tone. "Did you think I wish to remain hidden while that bitch enjoy all the luxury to herself and her illegitimate kids?"Andy would have calmed down a bit but his father was only adding more fuel to his anger. "How dare you, father..." He uttered repulsively, trying to defend Lisa. "Why would you speak such ill words of her and her kids who had done nothing wrong against you?""Nothing wrong, eh?" Xavier muttered with a scoff. "Her existence alone has wronged me greatly. Now that I'm into it already, I won't back down until I see her got ruined completely."Andy shook his head sideways, the look of disgust that was on his his face deepen. "You aren't worth living with, Mr. Xavier. It's a good thing you left me on your own." He said with scoff. "I see why mom left you two decades, taking Stephanie along with her.""You..." Xavier yelled with anger written all over him, pointing his index fing

    Ever since Andy could remember, he has never been anxious as he is at the moment. He wasn't even sure of the best words to say to his father when he see him. It was at that moment it all dawned on him that he has not planned all of these well enough which made him let out a low but tiring sigh.The moment Andy stepped in and as though his father had been expecting him to come, Andy was welcomed by his father's blazing gaze — if only looks were capable of ending one's life, Andy was sure to have dropped death on spot."What is this ungrateful brat doing here?" Xavier's thundered in anger, his voice laced with hatred and he did not hesitate to give his son that same look as well —hatred, anger, frustration and fury! He turned towards his brother's direction. "Fred, why did you allow this boy in?""I think he has something to say to you." Fred muttered, though audibly to Xavier's hearing with a slight shoulder shrug, collapsing on the nearest couch. "Let's listen to what he has to say. H

    It was barely past noon when Andy had returned home from work that afternoon, he couldn't come back home the previous day because it was already late in the night when he finished from the theatre room so he took his rest at the hospital instead. Andy sat on his favorite couch with a heavy sigh of relief but his relief did not last more than a few moment, because his relief was swallowed with his gnawing feeling of emptiness. Everything seems empty to him — and he felt as though he's alone in the whole big world. He knew something was amiss somewhere and tried figuring it out. Alas! He figured out that it was the absence of his father. He had missed his father's presence in the house, his nagging and miss seeing his scowling face as well —all of these had made the past five years bearable for him but for the past one week, he has no one else to do all of these to him. Andy couldn't help but blamed himself for the emptiness he was feeling, he was the one who had sent his own biolog

    Once they were gone, Lisa let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to have a moment to herself, and she was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Although she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about sending the kids away but she had things to discuss about with Judas.Judas moved closer and sat down on the seat opposite Lisa's desk. Lisa, as well, sat down in her usual position, her eyes fixed on the man before her. His facial expression says it all, of course he has a lot o say to Lisa and could not wait to be permitted so he could relay his words. "It seems you have something to say, Judas." Lisa finally voiced out after observing Judas for a while. She's not too blind not to have noticed —she knows Judas too well. "What have you come up with this time around?" "Uh, yeah." He nodded his head in agreement, adjusting slightly on his seat. "You can guess..." his voice was drawling and far from usual.Lisa raised her left brow slightly. "Beats me.
