“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

    Sheila walked over to Milan's counter and placed her both hands on the desk, resting her weight on it. “Hey, Milan.” She cited. “I sent something to the printer, do print it out for me.”Milan's gaze was fixated solely on the system before her, with her fingers doing wonders on it before. “Sure, I'll…" She replied almost immediately in, rushing her words. “After I'm done with this write-ups, I need to have them finished before…"The impatient side of Sheila took over her as she cut Milan off abruptly, giving her no chance to complete her words. “There is no later or after, Milan, and leave whatever you are busy with immediately.” Sheila doped out, countering. “I want it done now, I need to deliver it to boss as soon as she arrives.”Milan sighs, not buying the idea of leaving her typing, but she has no other choice to it —she will have to do as told. “Sure, just a few seconds…" She lazily muttered, standing up from her seat to the other side of the counter.A minute or two later, Mila

    “I see you received my mail already.” Ryan said immediately after the formal exchange of pleasantries as he gestured towards the seat before him. “Please, do have your seat.”Sheila did have her seat as offered and dropped the document with her on Ryan's desk, adjusting her dress lightly afterward. “Yeah, the mail was received earlier today and I had to reschedule my plans for today, so I would meet with you.” She said, slightly pushing the document before him.Ryan did not let a second slide as he picks up the document immediately. “I suppose your company has it own format for dealing with deals and proposals?” It was supposed to be a plain statement, but it came out as a question —but rhetorical.“Well, yeah…" She stated simply. “To be on the safe side, I guess.”Ryan nodded curtly, finding her reply more pleasing. “Well then, let's see what you got here in the document. I hope it goes well with me because I might call off this if it doesn't.” He said to her, yet to open the files.

    Ryan sat alone in the expensive leather chair, dwelling in the disquieting stillness of his office, feeling both overwhelmed and lonely. He rummages through his thoughts, his gaze over the offer from the anonymous lady. The audacity of her request agitated the placid water of his mind, producing ripples that echoes hauntingly through his soul.Could he genuinely consider ceding sixty-five percent of his company and even going as far as relinquishing his position as the chief executive officer? Shock and frustration were the emotion at war with in him, betraying an almost physical pain on his chiseled credentials.Still, he understood that the proposal from the anonymous lady wasn't a mere preposition; it was a potential lifeline, a chance to salvage what little remained of his company.As he looked down at the impeccably written argument, thoughts raced through his mind like a storm. The new offer stood at 65%, a 10% increment from the initial agreement, the woman had gagged up her wa

    “Ma'am, I have some news regarding the Lerman deal,” Sheila said as she stepped into Ciara's office, banging the door softly behind her.Ciara slowly looked up from her desk, her expression was unreadable. “Go ahead, I'm listening.” She answered in a voice just as plain, her facial expression.Sheila took a deep breath. “Mr. Lerman did give a response to our proposal when I met with him earlier today, but I'm afraid it's not the response we were hoping for.” Sheila said, carefully picking her words.A flicker of anger flashed in Ciara's eyes as she leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms, her expression cold and steely. “What did he say?” she asked, her voice tight.Sheila took a moment to gather her thoughts before uttering a response. “He's rejecting our offer, he said that he's not willing to give up majority control of his company; he was furious when he told me these. He added that he's willing to accept a minority investment, but not what we proposed —he is sticking with t

    “First, I want you to meet with Mr. Lerman again and still in person. I think it's important for a touch of face-to-face discussion, to make sure we're all on the same page. Can you set that up and do that once again for me?” Ciara asked, her voice firm but not unkind.“Of course, I'll get right on it,” Sheila replied, already reaching for her calendar. “When would you want me to meet with him? And where?”“I'd like you to meet with him as soon as possible. How about tomorrow's afternoon? You can come to his office as always, or you both can meet somewhere neutral, like a restaurant or a hotel. I just want to make sure there is a productive conversation, without any distractions. What do you think?” Ciara asked, her voice thoughtful.Sheila considered for a moment. “I think a neutral location would be best for the meet up. That way, neither of us will feel like we're on our home turf, and we'll both be more open to compromise.” She replied, fielding out Ciara's thought.“I agree. I th

    "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

    The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Alex sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his sigh that seems not to be coming to an end — of course, he has many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seems to be in fuzzy, he managed to forced his focus on the wheels —he can't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Alex did not want that to happen to me 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? And his daughter too, what would happen to her if she's left behind? Times like this, Alex wished he could turn the hand of time and go

    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.
