"What!" All four in the office exclaimed at the news that had just been disclosed. Even the rep forgot about the shock of the slap that she was still holding on to before the bomb of the news was released. "Keith-run?" One of three men wondered, looking quite stunned out of words. There were so many orders given in the company with code words, but Keith-run was the highest and most serious. When the Keith-run is issued, not only does it mean that all works must stop, but alike, it meant that the owner of the company is present. It was the same issue that went out yesterday that made the security tell all the clients to return to their homes. Only that in this case, the Keith-run has not been issued by the Elder but a new owner? The four had no idea how to act. "We will continue this another time." One of the three said to Isabella. "I'm afraid I can't take that for an answer. You know what I want and I'm sorry I won't change my mind." "You ---" The rep was burning with rage th

The entire place froze following what the overbearing and impulsive executive member had just done. Photel's knees buckled and he needed to hold the edge of the table to be able to stop himself from falling to the ground. How do we hear this? That he had stayed up all night begging the Supreme Commander to come and sign the deal, only for the Supreme Commander to come and get beaten up?How was he going to stand this? What was he going to do to appease his master and benefactor? He was shocked beyond words and weakened to the very intricacies of his bones. "What have you done?" Edward was the first to speak, addressing the overbearing executive member. The overbearing executive member had slapped Irwin with pride reaching from one corner of his face to the other. At least this time he would also be able to gain the favor of the old man. His main focus was having his debt waved off. Now that Edward had been able to pull off the impossible by getting the Supreme Commander to sign t

Bethany pulled into the simple restaurant along the roadside of the less trodden area of Imperial City. Although this area could be called the rural part of the city, yet it looked even more decent than the urban area of other cities. The restaurant called Gleen and Ris was set just a few stones throw away from the Burlique Estate. The realtor in charge of building the Estate had advised Sir John to build it in an area where the less privileged weren't far from. This was for two reasons. One, the less privileged wouldn't dare to make a scene by trying to visit the place because they fear causing a damage they might never be able to pay back. The other reason being that, the wealthy folks will have to travel a long way to the place and be greeted by the fresh air of this rural area which was far from the urban city where fumes, smokes and all continously contaminate the urban city air.Also, another big reason was because the Lustre ocean of the city was found in this area. So from

Bethany was at loss for words as she stared at Aunt Manny. She wasn't certain of what to make of this request. She never anticipated it. How could she ever had? Her mind started replaying the scenes that happened back at the slum district. How Aunt Manny had stood up to defend Irwin in the presence of everyone else. The look on the woman's face wasn't of intimidation or worries. She seemed like someone who had made up this decision in her mind long before Bethany decided to call her. One thing which Bethany couldn't explain was how the woman had planned to set up a meeting with Irwin if originally Irwin didn't ask her (Bethany) to meet up with her. "Is it impossibe?" Aunt Manny probed further, a little shade of thin worry shooting from the corner of her face."No... not in the sense of it." Bethany replied, making an effort to put her thoughts together. Bethany didn't know why she was acting like she was the one who was invited. She cleared her throat and drank from the glass aga

Edward walked through the somewhat dark, and somewhat light hallway that led to the private study of the old Grand Mage. He had suddenly received a call from a strange number telling him that the Grand Mage wanted to see him privately. Then the location was sent to him. As soon as he heard the voice, he was instantly able to detect that it was Raphael's. Although Raphael had never spoken to him on the phone before, the Spirit of Truth was ever present. He stood at the front of the for a moment, muttering some words of affirmation to himself.'It is open.' The voice flowing through his body said. As he reached to open the door, the door opened from inside. He stepped in and walked towards the very large study. There were too many shelves all over the place. Yet no matter the number of shelves, they were all well arranged and stationed. In fact when he walked down that particular aisle that led from the door, he got to a point where there were shelves in motion, turning slowly as
