It was eight in the morning. As the revolving glass doors of the King Corporation swung open the man that the city had been gossiping about for weeks now strolled leisurely, purposefully into the lobby. Ansel King, with his slicked-back dark hair, his black charcoal-gray suit, moulded to the accuracy of the finest tailoring, and his cool expression brooding over his features.The place was hardly noisy, and the clicking of his shiny footwear was all you heard as they stroked their path through the cold, smooth marble floor. The phones have stopped ringing, the secretaries are frozen in their office and panic is prevailing in the lobby. "He's here," someone whispered. "The chairman is back." Managers one after another flew out of their offices. Scuttling of secretaries went on to put their files in order again. Departmental heads shook their neck ties like they were almost losing their lives.No effort to creep had been undertaken by Ansel; he had paraded up and down the halls as th

Lara walked out of the boardroom, her chest beating so fast like she just ran a marathon, her look like she had just walked through the snow storm. Holding the files in her hands, what just happened? The distant chattering of the employees in their offices, some still in awe how handsome their CEO is.She felt bit irritated, could it be it was because she was once married to him, she didn't know what to do, its going to be weird it she resigned. This job had been feeding home and her number one survival mode."Please, Ansel, I just hope you don't make this harder for me " she breath underneath her breath, heading for her office, she stopped halfway,"Should I go asked him were we stand?" It sounded off, rather "Wouldn't he think I'm being to ..." Just then a voice interrupted her thoughts."Lara Jane?" The familiar voice called, she turned swiftly to see her managers face, she did know if hewa impressed or disappointed."That was brilliant "he said, as his lips curve into a smile, sh

The car drove through the rain, it had already decreased in its intensity, it was more windy now. Lara sighed as she checked her time. It was past 8pm, the car ride was quiet and it got her thinking. Ansel was right; she had no right whatsoever to demand things. She just prayed he had listened to her. The company was sentimental to her and he knew how important it was to her. It was so important to her she jeopardized their marriage just for the company and now it seemed like it was revenge rather than outright sale. He said he was not being petty over it so that's not good.Ansel stared intently at the rear mirror as it cast her face on it, she had faced the window gazing outside, he saw her wipe her eyes"She can't be crying?" He said to himself without her hearing.He sighed, the silence was immediately ruined by the ringtone of his phone, he looked at it,Sophia.A silent smile cut across his face, one that didn't go unnoticed by Lara-jane."What's he smiling for? My misery?" But

The next morning came it was calm and windy. The weather you harm and cloudy the rain will last night had fallen all through the night. She laid in her bedroom covered in her blanket. Her eyes shut close as she laid the sprawled on the bed trying to find the strength stand up. The event from last night played in her memory... the way her family had ask her to play Ansel again. She knew they were consumed in their own greed not minding what they had done to him in the past, now she was trying to redeem herself from the she had done to him.It was passed 6:00 a.m. and she needed to prepare for work. She slowly got up, sitting at the edge of her bed as she wondered for if going to work was actually important but then, she had a presentation in the office today and she had spend the rest of the night trying to piece together margins from the quarter of the year which she was done before morning and opted for a brief nap which extended to a long sleep.Sitting upright, she rubbed h

The car had closed into the venue right when she walked down, "thank you" said Lara-Jane to Mr. Hart as she went toward him."you're welcome, Miss Cree" he said and drove off. Lara stood right in front of the tall hall with light filling it as brightly as usual, but with a shimmer of a blink as in the dark outside.The chandelier at the ceiling was suspended from a frozen constilation hanging on it. The bright golden light cut across the whole room from the chandelier and lit it fully as clear as day. Inside the room there was a usual and known annual corporate innovation market held at the grand hall.It had different seminars, parties and conventions with a crowd of famous people all over the world and society. Today the Blake family was to host their annual innovation banquet; it was not really just about dinner.They were also supposed to hold a special event with the title 'World Analysis', where their company was said to work with Kings Corporation which was owned by a man know
