Board Meeting.

The board meeting was rescheduled, and they were all gathered again for the meeting.The tension in the air was no different from the previous one, except that it was heavier than before.“Mr. Rodrigo, the stock prices are stagnating,” one of the shareholders, Mr. Caldwell, mouthed, adjusting his glasses. “If this continues, we will be looking at a huge collapse. We need answers, and we need them now. What is going on? What are you doing about this?”Alison sat at the far end of the table, taking a glance at Travis. She had only recently become part of this case, but the stakes seemed extremely high. The accusations against him were baseless, and he needed to clear his name in order to regain the company's legacy and keep it going, or else it would affect not only him but the stakeholders who had invested in the company.She knew she needed to get evidence faster and she had just limited time to do so. If she did not act fast, she was certain that the company would be in total shamb

The Difference.

The boardroom was filled with murmurs from the board members, wondering what story she was making up.Alison knew it was a hard thing to believe, seeing that all the bottles were sealed, and so, how was it that it was poisoned?“Everyone, please,” she called out, trying to calm the atmosphere. “We need to focus. Some are safe, and some are not. This is not a mistake or a random incident, someone is trying to create an internal conflict."“Are you saying we are in danger, as well?” Mr. Caldwell asked in annoyance. “This is madness!”“Who would do such a thing?” Ms. Linda spat. “And why would they target us? This is about Mr. Rodrigo!”"Ms. Linda, you have been targeting the CEO for a while now. Do you know anything about this?" "What? How dare you accuse me?" "Pointing fingers will only make matters worse. We need to figure out who is behind this before we start turning on one another. This is exactly what they are aiming for.”Enough!” Travis’s voice came through, silencing the roo

Kind Gesture.

As Alison stepped out of the boardroom, her mind was filled with thoughts of what had just happened in the boardroom.Poisoned waters?Who would have had the mind to do something as outrageous as that?As she thought hard about it, she walked past the cleaning area. Something in her told her to just check the environment, and as she did, she noticed something different.She walked past a few cleaners, who greeted her, but there was something off about some of them.Particularly, one of them, who had put on a nose mask.She bowed, averting her eyes away from Alison's gaze.She bent her head low and walked away. Alison turned her head to the back, observing her footsteps, and how she acted.Could the suspect be one of the cleaners? If so, then, who sent them?With a sudden urge to find the suspect, she took a left turn and entered the elevator, heading to the control room.As she got there, she met with the head of the department, who stopped her.She took out her ID card and waved it a

Interrogation.

Just when everyone thought Alison would slap the lady, they heard her burst into laughter, causing everyone to be shocked and wearing confused expressions.Even the lady in front of her was surprised."Clara, if it's because you didn't get the snacks I shared, don't worry about it, okay? I will treat you someday," Alison said, making Clara more confused."Are you trying to buy me with treats? You already gave me one, so what are you saying?" Camille paused for a moment. Was she not the same person who had arrived last to get her snacks?Could it be another person? Camille became confused, but in order not to show her confusion to them, she shook her head and turned to the others."I'm glad you enjoyed your snacks. I guess it's time to work now. Have a nice day," she said, bidding them goodbye.They waved her goodbye, turning around to begin the day, as some took the mop sticks, while some picked up the buckets.Camille walked out of the hallway and entered the elevator. Her mind was

Crazy Idea.

Alison returned home, after having a stressful day. Well, all her days in Rodrigo International were stressful, because the case she was handling was tasking.Even at that, she still had to attend to other minor issues in her brand.As she got home, she threw her bag on the couch and took her heels, falling on the bed with a loud sigh.There was just so much running in her mind and she tried to place them accurately. Well, she needed to do this. As she thought back to how far she had come, she vowed not to give up.This was not only for her, but for her son. She would do everything in her power to get back her son from the Francisco's family.He was not safe there and she would not be at peace knowing that her son was in the hands of that evil woman, Margaret.With a sigh, she got into the bathroom to have a quick bath before continuing the work.As the water poured down her skin, she felt relaxed. It was as if the water was washing away the tension in her mind.After what seemed to

Problem.

After Alison rejected his offer to work for him, Bruno had been having difficulty navigating the project he was handling.Since it was something that had illegal dealings involved, he could not properly maneuver it, or else he would get caught.He could not afford to look like a loser in front of his mother or even Alison. He needed to make it work.As he sat behind the table, tapping his hand occasionally on the table, he looked at his lawyer, who had his head bent low."So, what are you saying now? That you cannot handle it...is that it?" He asked, gazing at him.The man, who seemed to be in his early forties, shivered and was unable to look at him in the face.“Mr. Francisco, I really think we should consider our options here,” the man said, swallowing hard.He was afraid. He could not deal with such an affair. He could feel Bruno's gaze on him, and it was like he was about to reap his skin off of him.Bruno leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest. He tried not t

Crawling Back.

Bruno knew his mother was upset, he had to do something to make her calm down.As he went out of his office, he reached out to his mother's office. He pushed it open, and bowed, walking towards her."Mother, how about we go out and eat? Let's focus more on the success of the project, because once I am able to get them to pull this through, then we are guaranteed about the success of the project."Margaret glanced at him, knowing fully when that he was only trying to calm her down."I'm busy, just get a drink from the wine cabinet," she said, waving her hand off.He chuckled, and walked to the cabinet, picking up a wine with less alcoholic percentage.He took the glasses and set them on the table, opening the lid of the bottle.Carefully, he poured the wine into the two glasses and then set it down."Cheers to a successful project," he said, raising his glass for a toast.His mother glanced at him for a couple of seconds, before raising her glass for a toast.The two glasses clicked, m

Car Bump.

Margaret sat in the back of her black SUV, scrolling through her phone. She was engrossed in a series of photos from last year's women’s conference, and she wondered what she would wear for this year's women's conference.“Maybe a luxurious yellow dress,” she thought, mentally picturing how it would look on her and how everyone would praise her for her outfit.She glanced up and saw a black Roll-Royce, one car she admired but was only available in limited slots. Her heart skipped a beat, as she kept staring at it, her mind daydreaming out of reality.Suddenly, the car jolted forward, and Margaret was thrown back against the back seat. The driver cursed under his breath, as he turned to her.“Sorry, ma’am! Just a little bump!” he said, looking away immediately.“What do you mean a bump?” Margaret snapped, widening her eyes. “What did you hit?”As the driver reversed a bit, Margaret tilted her head to the side to see the side of the car she was admiring now dented. Even her car had a sc

Employees' Party.

It was finally the day for the employees' party. Alison had arranged everything perfectly well, so much that no one suspected anything.The employees were even happy seeing that the CEO decided to give them a break from work and allow them to relax.Alison stood at the entrance of the hall, her expression mixed with anxiety and anticipation. Everything seemed normal, and for some reason, she started to doubt herself, wondering if what she was doing was right or going to even work. Anyway, the party was just beginning. She just had to observe everyone around and not lose focus.Although she could not interrogate the employees, she had checked their resumes and there was just a particular person her instinct was gnawing at.Melissa.She was a junior staff in the production department.“Can I get you a drink, Ms. Harper?” Clara asked, interrupting her thoughts.Alison did not want to get distracted by anything or anyone. Her eyes were still fixed on the employees gathered together.She

Panic.

Alison knew that the restroom was not a safe place for them to have this conversation. She held Melissa by the hand and went to the balcony. “Melissa,” Alison said, lowering her voice as they moved to a quieter area on the balcony, “we need to talk now. Who is Marcus? And why are they paying your mother’s hospital bills?”Melissa’s eyes darted around, her body shaking. “I told you, I don’t know who they are. I just… I can’t risk losing my job here or putting my mom in danger.”Alison understood that she was just afraid, so she did not mind taking it calmly with her. “You are putting yourself in danger, Melissa. If you are involved with people who are doing illegal things, this is only going to end badly. You need to be honest with me. Do you trust me?""You are a lawyer. What if you report me to the CEO and have me arrested?" She mouthed."If I wanted to report you to the CEO, I would have recorded your call. I am really here to help you, but I need you to help me too."Melissa could
