At Alexander's mansion, he sat in his study room, busy with business, but his focus was soon interrupted by a phone call."Hello," he answered."Alexander, have you gotten your son to join us?" Bran asked, seeming impatient."No. I'm yet to get a message from him," Alexander responded, sternly."What son would not want to choose sides with his father? I believed you had made a mistake, or this is a show of bad parenting!" Bran said. "Impatience is not good for business, Brandon, or did your father not teach you that?" Alexander inquired, knowing well that Brandon didn't really know much about his father.Brandon chuckled, taking a moment to respond, "And since when did you start preaching patience?""Your son said something to me the first time we met. He told me how I'm like you in some ways, but I'm beginning to doubt that!" Brandon said, causing Alexander to rest his back on the chair he sat in in his study."This seems like a long call," he said, sounding sarcastic."You're not t

At the meeting with Dana and her lawyer, Ethan shifted his gaze from Dana to Lilian, signaling her to hand the original documents to Dana's lawyer.Without hesitation, Lilian passed the documents to the lawyer, who went through them and gazed at Dana, making sure she was staring back at him before he nodded, saying,"This was exactly what we bargained for.""Okay." Dana responded, taking the documents from her lawyer.For some reason, Lilain gazed at her surprised; she couldn't help but wonder if Dana was drugged or something, but the price at which Ethan is buying the company would barely even be enough to start up any kind of business, much lessa company.After she signed the agreement, Ethan did the same thing too and smiled, "Thank you for honoring our invitation." He said and got to his feet, about to leave when Dana stopped him by holding his hand, saying,"I want us to talk, Ethan."Ethan paused and gazed down at her hand, arching his brows."What do we have to talk about?" "I

At Secret Company, Ethan got back to his office and wasn't surprised to see Cersei still in his office, but she wasn't in the same position he left her in.Instead, she was by the glass walls of the company, gazing at the city. She turned to me the second she heard the door open. "Come and join me." She said.Believing he had very little choice to object, he walked towards her and stood right beside her. "Do you see the city?" She asked."Yes, I see the city through this glass every day!" He informed her, causing Cersei to nod."I've been staring at it from this angle for minutes now, and all I see is peace. No chaos! No matter how closely I try to look, I still see peace. Every single person seems to be minding their business," she said."It's serene." Ethan commented. "I wish the world were truly like that. Peaceful with no conflict," she said, turning to face him."Why do we fight ourselves? Why do we fight for things that don't really matter? Why are people greedy?" She asked,

"Sir, I cannot say anything to you. You have to come with me." The butler was insistent, but Ethan was not ready to hear him out.Instead, he took a few steps to the luxurious chair in the sitting room and sat there, crossing his left leg over his right leg."You'll have to call your boss to receive his guest in the sitting room." He informed, causing the butler to turn to one of the staff behind him.It was surprising how the staff were putting on suits; the lady on the right had black pants and a white long sleeve with the jacket placed over the long-sleeve shirt.While the staff was standing by the left, she had the same outfit on, but instead of black pants, she wore a black skirt.As soon as the butler turned to the lady in skirts, she left even without the butler saying a single word.She headed upstairs, causing Ethan to smirk, knowing that she must have probably gone to inform her boss that he has refused to come up.The butler kept his eyes on Ethan with a mischievous smile o
