CVII: Temporary Problem
“You met Pedro, right? He’s also your friend.” Stephanie said with a frown. She was clearly trying to be as patient as she could.
Sam was amused at this, and he could not help but laugh.
“Why are you laughing?” She asked through gritted teeth. Stephanie’s patience was running out as she was already glaring at Sam when she added, “My brother is also your friend.”
Sam raised a brow and asked, as if he was innocent, “Yeah, so? Do you expect me to throw Alexander under the bus just because of that?”
Stephanie frowned further. She explained, “If you help me get back with Alexander, our family will invest two-fold the amount that we initially did immediately. I mean, that would solve your financial problems. At this rate, everyone would try to take Alexander down.”
“And who’s fault was that?” Sam questioned, still with a raised eyebrow. He snorted and said arrogantl

The Tycoon's Matchmaker CIX: Talking To Morgana
As soon as Oli and Sally left, Oli confronted her, “Why didn’t you tell Maya everything? She deserves to know about it.”“We’re not even sure if Pedro really knows anything.” Sally glanced around making sure it was safe, and she continued in a softer voice as she dragged Oli further away from the house, “For all we know, it might be a false lead or something, given Maya’s state and desperation, she’d take it in a heartbeat. Whether it’s a false lead or whatever, Maya would risk it all.”“Of course she would. It’s her parents we’re talking about.” Oli explained, “Ever since we were kids, it’s all Maya ever wanted. She had to watch us leave the orphanage without real parents, and she never got hers. Of course, it would be natural that she’d feel desperate.”Sally said with a bitter smile, “That’s exactly it. She’s been waiting for the
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CX: Maya’s Origin?
Morgana shook her head in disagreement and continued to explain, “That’s what I thought so too. For a year, my mother would keep repeating the scenario that night- about this rich woman leaving Maya on the front porch of the orphanage. Naturally, I thought it was Maya’s mother, but it wasn’t.”Pedro frowned and asked eagerly, “Then who was it?”“It was her grandmother who brought her to the orphanage,” Morgana replied before she released a heavy sigh. She continued, “My mother described the woman as old with white hair and a wicked smile. My mother, Dani, said the old woman looked rich and not just rich. She was loaded, so my mother was baffled as to why she abandoned the baby.”“Did you get the name?” Pedro asked as he took mental notes of all the details Morgana gave him, “Any physical appearance Dani mentioned?”Morgana sighed heavily and continued, “I don&r
The Tycoon's Matchmaker CXI: Drastic Effects
“That is Alexander’s personal life. Stay out of it.” Sam argued, before he shook his head. These people were so much. Probably because of this type of board member, Alexander had accepted the marriage arrangement with Stephanie.If Maya did not appear, won’t that be so disastrous for Alexander?Sam changed the topic, “Anyway, it doesn’t matter whom you point your fingers at, and it does not change the fact that we’re still stuck with the problem. How do we get out of this mess?”Everyone was quiet. To be completely honest, none of them had any idea how to solve such financial loss. It was just not Stephanie’s family.After they pulled out their investments, the company suffered from multiple stockholders that pulled out their investments, too- like a domino effect.People started losing trust in their company that left more and more employees to resign too. Alexander and Sam knew the drastic eff

Pedro frowned. He was the one who told Sam about it. But, he could not tell that to his sister else she would vent on him.“What if he tells Alexander and Alexander came rushing here? I mean, if he meets Maya here, he will leave me for good,” she continued on the verge of tears.“Sister, as much as I love you, you really need to step out of dreamland. Alexander left you for good when he backed out of your wedding without goodbyes or explanations.” Pedro argued, “Wake up, it couldn’t be any clearer than that.”“Just let me help you find Maya!” Stephanie insisted.“No!” Pedro firmly replied, and he continued, “I’ll deal with finding her alone. You will not take any part of it, do you hear me?”Stephanie was startled for a moment before she said, “You don’t understand-““No, Stephanie, you don’t understand. Alexander will n

Sam, on the other hand, as soon as he finished the meeting and call with Alexander, felt too exhausted from the day’s work. He loosened up his tie and pulled up his sleeves neatly.Sam took a deep breath, he received a text from some random girl he hooked up with the other day asking him for some movies at her place, but Sam felt like he was too tired to sleep with anyone, so he deleted her number and wandered around the city.It had been a while since he’d been to Russia, it was cold, and Sam could barely stand the cold. With a cup of hot coffee to warm his hands, he roamed around for someplace to kill some time or have a decent dinner.All of a sudden, his gaze fell unto Oli’s restaurant. He saw that it was packed with people, and it seemed like there was some sort of party. Sam was curious and interested, so he walked towards there and chose to eat there.He asked the waitress upfront, “Can I book a table? Are you taken
