*Meanwhile at Maxโ€™s penthouse apartment*

I poured myself a third glass of scotch while looking at my window, the noise and lights of the city somehow calms me down as I drank my sorrows away.

The last time Iโ€™ve stepped foot in this apartment was when Safina had caught me cheating on her with a girl whoโ€™s name I didnโ€™t even bother to know.

I closed my eyes as I remembered what Safina had told me in the beginning of our relationshipโ€ฆ

And what I had promised her.

โ€œI was a result of an affair according to my mom. She didnโ€™t know that my father was married to someone else, he abandoned us for his wife when I was six.โ€ She stated with a sigh โ€œThen at sixteen I fell in love with the guy who I lost my virginity to, only to find out he was using me to finally graduate.โ€ She chuckles sadly โ€œThen my mom died due to an overdose when I was a little over nineteen, leaving me with debts I didnโ€™t even know existed.โ€ She sighed

My heart hurts for the girl I love as we both have cruel fathers and

    I kept staring at the email for what felt like hoursโ€ฆ Max King had sent me an email yesterday with the purpose of having a possible partnership.โ€œHey Lex hereโ€™s the revised marketing presentation that you asked forโ€“ why do you look like youโ€™ve seen a ghost?โ€ Leo walks in my office, holding a flash drive โ€œWhat happened?โ€โ€œWould you believe me if I told you that Maximilian King is asking to meet with me soon regarding a possible working relationship?โ€ I asked, still frowning as I show him my laptop screenโ€œIt really is the end of the world!โ€ he joked as he finishes reading the mailโ€œItโ€™s not funny Leonard.โ€ I stood up and looked at my window โ€œEver since Preston and I stepped up as the respective heads in our companies, we were rivals.โ€ I let out a sighโ€œMaybe Max King is different than his father. He might want to bury the hatchet.โ€ Leo says positively, I nodded apprehensivelyโ€œFrom what Safina has told me, when he became CEO he is just as bad as his father had been.โ€ I faced Leo

    โ€œMr. Moore has accepted the meeting sir, I talked to his secretary and she set up a meeting next Monday at 3pm, at Moore Industries` penthouse conference room.โ€ Percy says to me the following morning in my officeโ€œGood, I want Lex Moore to know that I mean business. But in reality, I want to take him and his company down.โ€ I spat โ€œItโ€™s high time that I do something that my father never did, and that is to be better than him in all aspects.โ€ I scoffed, sitting down on my desk โ€œGo, finish up the report my former secretary revised for the monthly meeting with my father. And weโ€™ll arrive fifteen minutes early to take Moore by surprise.โ€ I told him.

    I had asked Safina to escort Maximilian and his assistant into the conference room. I did wish to know why Max King would want to do business with me as his father and I have a never-ending rivalry since our teenhood and it hasnโ€™t stopped through the years.I am hoping that heโ€™s nothing like his father, but from what Safina has told me, heโ€™d been a competent executive but not as CEO. He became dependent on her and he takes complete credit of things as if Safina didnโ€™t help him.The door opened and Safina walks in with Max King and his assistant, Maxโ€™s eyes never left Safina as she closed the door.โ€œWelcome to Moore Industries, Mr. King.โ€ I interrupted his trance on my assistant. โ€œItโ€™s a pleasure to have you here.โ€ I offered my hand for a handshakeโ€œThe pleasure is all mine Mr. Moore, trust me.โ€ He stole a glance at Safina โ€œAnd please call me Max, Mr. King is my father.โ€ He smiled โ€œThis is Percy Sandoval. My secretary.โ€ He says, introducing his secretary to meโ€œItโ€™s nice to meet y

    I did my best to calm my nerves in the bathroom. Taking deep breaths as I look at myself in the mirror โ€œBreathe Safinaโ€ฆ heโ€™s just here for business, youโ€™re safe from him. You moved on from him. Heโ€™s not going to hurt you in any way anymore.โ€ I gave myself a pep talk and adjusted my hairI hear the door open and I saw him enter the ladiesโ€™ room with a knowing smile on his face โ€œThis is the ladiesโ€™ room. You shouldnโ€™t be in here Max.โ€ I turn to face him, putting on a brave face โ€œI know, I just wanted to talk to you.โ€ He says, stepping towards meโ€œWe have nothing to talk about the moment you stuck your d*ck inside another girl! And I knew that the girl from the penthouse isnโ€™t the first girl you f*cked.โ€ I spatโ€œI apologized for that Saf!โ€ he reasons โ€œA-And yes I drunkily cheated on you in Greece. But I didnโ€™t want to tell you because I donโ€™t want to lose you.โ€ He admits, thinking it will help his caseI scoffed โ€œAfter I quit, you preceded to blacklist me in almost every company in

Donโ€™t hesitate to come to me if you have an idea or a concern, and if Iโ€™m not here then Iโ€™m sure Safina can help you too.โ€ I assured himโ€œOf course sir.

I cooked up some rice and take out the milkfish marinated in vinegar and garlic out of the freezer that I successfully haggled for at the Asian supermarket and fried that up and I also decided to make a quick pickled salad with daikon radishes, onions and tomatoes seasoned with jalapeno instead of Asian chilies because my vendor ran out.It was something my mom loved to make for me on a daily basis, and milkfish is rare at the timeโ€œGuess who quit her job babe?!โ€ Bella says cheerfully as the door opened โ€œWell technically resigned and Iโ€™m starting a new job as an intern at Style Life Magazineโ€ฆ hopefully.โ€ She grinned as she placed her box of things at the coffee tableI smiled as I put the prepared food on the table โ€œWhen did you resign officially?โ€ her resignation didnโ€™t surpri
