As Neal walked onto the school grounds, he retrieved his phone from his pocket.He hadn't been able to see Amber before he left home. He placed a call through to Amber. He had to tell her what he had in mind before he got caught up in school work and activities.Amber picked up on the first ring. “Hello, Neal? I didn't see you this morning. You must have left early.”Neal nodded. “Yes, I did. I want you to give the Pious Groups back the contract.”There was a short pause before Amber blurted, “Isn't that Cathy's company?”Neal nodded. “Yes, it is.”“Why?” Amber asked, surprise evident in her voice. “Why did you change your mind? I mean I'm not questioning your orders but I'm just quite surprised.”“It’s okay. I understand your surprise. I actually wanted to teach Cathy and her family a lesson. If you remember, that's what I told you I wanted to achieve by taking the contract from her family's company. Now, it appears that this has been done. Especially as she asked for my help.”“Wow.

As Miles walked into the restaurant, he placed a call through to Sasha.She picked up immediately. “Hey!" She said in a high pitched voice.“What's up? I just wanted to confirm with you. We still have a date, right?" He hadn't heard from her since they last spoke in the morning. She didn't even reply to the location of the restaurant that he'd picked for them. “Of course!" She returned sharply as though Miles had just accused her of blasphemy. I'll never cancel a date with you. I just-” she broke off with a huff.“Are you okay?" Miles realized that she actually sounded breathless. “Are you walking?” He assumed that she was in a hurry.“Yeah, I'm good. Don’t worry, I'm already on my way to the location of the restaurant that you sent. I'll soon be there. I'll never stand you up.”“Alright. Can't wait to see you,” Miles added half heartedly.For the next few minutes, Miles waited for Sasha with his gaze going from the door to his watch. It felt like the longest minutes of his life. H

Miles sighed. He stared at the contents in the mug in his hand. “Alright. If you insist.” He sighed again, his gaze not straying from the coffee. "The thing is I'm supposed to take over my father's company.” He looked up at Sasha. "You know I'm his only heir.” Sasha nodded her head, listening raptly. Miles continued. “It's one of the reasons why I returned to the city. I just came earlier because of our date. We were going to sign a contract with the Waterfall Corporation, the company where you work. Everything was already in place. But suddenly, they pulled out.”Sasha's frown deepened. “Why will they do that?" Miles' shoulders rose in a brief shrug then they slouched. “I don't know what happened. I don't know why they suddenly did that.” His chest rose and fell.“The loss would cause great harm to my father's company's growth, which would hinder me from taking over and driving it towards more growth. I don't even know what to do. The company doesn't need this at all at this stage

A playful frown slowly formed on Neal's forehead as he walked into the dining room for breakfast.Amber smiled up at him, “Good morning, Neal. I hope you slept well?" Neal pushed out a seat, his gaze still on Amber. “It was okay. How was yours?”“Peaceful.” Amber raised a shoulder in a light shrug. “Okay, what's with the frown?” She finally asked with a light laugh.“Nothing,” Neal picked up a cutlery. He looked up at Amber as she began to dish his food for him. “I'm just surprised you're still around. You've been leaving home quite early these past days.”Amber nodded. Not really. We've just been missing each other. Besides that, I think you're the one who's been leaving earlier. Sometimes when I come down to eat, I'm always told that you've left for school.”“Thank you,” Neal thanked her for the meal. He dug into the dish before him.“So, I made sure that I must see you before you leave today.” She intertwined her fingers, placed her hand on the table and watched Neal as he ate.“

On the way to the bus stop, Neal phoned the owner of the Soiree.The owner picked up on the third ring. “Hello?" “Good morning," Neal said, going straight to the point. “Your company, the Soiree, is on sale. I'm interested in purchasing it. When are you free to meet so we can discuss further?”The man on the other end of the line hummed. “Seeing that you have my personal contact, you deserve that meeting.” There was a pause, then, “Is this evening convenient?" Neal did a quick mental run of the lecture he had that day. He smiled. "It's perfect." “Alright, then. We'll be meeting at my office. I'll send you the address location.”Neal nodded. “Thank you.”The call ended. The bus arrived just in time and Beal climbed in.Sasha had a huge smile as she walked towards the cubicle of one of her colleagues, the biggest gossip in the office, with a stack of papers in her hands.“Hello there, girl. You look so good today!" Sasha said as she stopped outside the colleague's cubicle.The collea
