Seth cleared his throat, and after he had looked at his wristwatch for a few seconds, he grunted, suddenly becoming too impatient.“Why does it seem like time is moving too slowly?” He asked, furious with his wristwatch while he struggled with the urge to push the time forward.Returning his gaze to Marcus, he cleared his throat, and then he faced the crowd, his eyes burning with desperation.“I think we have waited for far too long, ladies and gentlemen…” He waited with a wry smile, delighted as he saw the reactions of approval from the crowd.“I think it is time for us to move ahead with the affairs of this company. We can’t keep waiting for a young fellow who knows nothing about managing a company…”“You are right, Seth!” One of the ladies said eagerly, and then she got the support of the middle-aged man seated next to her.“I think that we find a new CEO at once while we think of what to do with that ignorant fellow…” The middle-aged man said, and of course, Seth was going to app

Seth cleared his throat, and then he drew closer to Ethan, scowling at him.“Are you really sure about this?” He asked, his glower intact.“Are you afraid?” Ethan asked, causing him to snort at him.“Why should I be afraid?” Seth retorted at once, his eyes burning with disdain.“I am not afraid of you, Ethan Cole!” He sparked, clenching his fists as though he was about to throw a punch.“I have always known that you are going to be a thorn in my flesh from the moment Mr. Vale mentioned that you had been found…” He snorted, his eyes burning with rage.He considered Ethan his archenemy, and at that moment, there was nothing else on his mind but the urge to make sure that he got him out of the way.Ethan scoffed, looking calm and comported.He took a deep breath, and when he was ready to break his silence, he spoke with a very audible tone, looking Seth in the eyes.“We already have a deal, Seth. Your shares and my place as CEO at the board table. Winner takes all, Loser leaves with nothi

“You can’t say that!” Seth fired at once, his eyes sparking in a rage.“I have toiled in this company for years! You can’t kick me out!” He boiled in a rage, turning to face Ethan.“This is all your fault, Ethan Cole! You caused this!”Ethan took a deep breath, refusing to let go of his wry smile.“You made a bet, Seth. We had a deal…”“What stupid deal?!” Seth snapped, his eyes glowing with contempt. “There is no way I am letting you have my shares! That’s my entire life right there!”“But you made a deal with him, Seth. We were all here…” A familiar female voice said from behind, causing Seth to turn to that direction at once.He gasped as soon as he saw who had spoken, his eyes wide with shock.“Even you?”“Yes, Seth…” The lady nodded, standing on her decision.“We stand by our word in this company, Seth. You had a deal, and it is time for you to keep to your own end of the bargain..” She instantly switched sides, and that was an invitation to others who seemed to be supporting Se

The Mayor sighed heavily, and then she reached for Ethan’s chest, caressing him gently.She looked him in the eyes, a coy smile spread across her lips.“Is there any lady you are hiding in your place, Ethan Cole?” She asked, a little jealousy laced in her tone.“Or do you just want to avoid me? Now that you have gotten what you wanted…” She intensified her caress, causing Ethan’s body to tingle.He swallowed very hard, and no matter how hard he tried, the lady’s touch seemed very irresistible.His hair stood tall like trees, his heart beating very fast while he tried to keep his eyes steadily open.Ethan cleared his throat, and then he took a deep breath, his eyes finally closing while he struggled to catch his breath.“Don’t you want to see around our City, Laura? We have really nice places all over the place. I am sure you are going to love them…”“Oh please!” Laura snapped, and then she let go of Ethan, allowing him catch his breath.She grunted, staring at him intensely.When Etha

For a while, none of them said anything, but the young man was very eager to hear what she was going to say.“I am listening…” He insisted, refusing to stop looking at her.Laura said nothing, but her eyes were enough to echo the worry that was nestled deep inside her.She sighed heavily, but the feeling that gripped her was still intact, causing her to clear her throat in an attempt to get rid of the clog that gripped her.“Talk to me, Laura…” Ethan insisted, causing the Mayor to look him in the eyes.But she still didn’t look like she was ready to break her silence.Her eyes were wide with worry, and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before she would break down in tears.“Whatever it is, I am sure it was a solution…” Ethan insisted on getting a response, looking her in the eyes.Laura nodded almost immediately, and then she looked at the screen of her phone, expressing the worry that was buried deep inside her.“The elections are coming, Ethan…” She said, her voice barely
