Greedy Investors
“How can he keep all of us here waiting? He said the meeting was for noon, and he is yet to be here…” The man in a grey suit grumbled, his eyes flashing with annoyance. “Does he realize that we are not idle? We have other things to do for fucks sake?!” Another man complained, unfazed by the reaction his utterance had caused. The murmuring continued to pile up, impatient eyes turning to the only man standing in their midst. “Mr. Sanchez?” One of the two women in the large room called out, staring at Diego across the walnut wood table. “I thought you told us Mr. Regal was going to be here at noon. This is over thirty minutes and we haven’t seen any sign of him.” She waited, but all she could get was silence.Diego didn’t bother to look at any of the angry investors and board members, his face bent as though he was counting the number of squares underneath him. The grumbling continued, eyes turning to look at each other. “He owes us an apology. This is not right.” Someone vo
Eyes on the Projector
Some of the men took the liberty to nod while the others remained silent.The other lady in the room didn’t need to make any move before she could show her support to what had been said. “Tired?” Brian’s confusion was palpable, his eyes turning again from one person to the other.“What exactly is making you tired? Tell me…” He returned his gaze to the lady, looking her in the eyes.“Everything, Master Brian…” She continued, holding onto the same vexed expression.But she had to take a deep breath, seeming like she needed some time to prepare her long speech. “Ever since you took over, we have been handed over crumbs…” She lamented, gathering the approval of the other investors in the room. The five of them nodded, urging her to ride on. “We were being given what was truly ours until you arrived…” She went silent again, but only for a second. “You cut our revenue shares into three and gave us one. I wonder what you used the rest for…” She grunted, forced to swallow the ne
What They Have
“I believe all of you have eyes. You can see for yourselves…” Brian didn’t have much to say, holding onto his deadpan expression while he stared at everyone. “These are the shares of all of us here…” The second lady finally spoke, pointing at the projector screen.“Good. Mrs. Tyrion. I am glad you have seen what everyone has been blind not to see…” Brian nodded in satisfaction, then he cleared his throat.“Why are you showing us all of these, Brian?” Mr. Lopez frowned, his tone lacking some of the regard he had earlier for Brian.“I believe all of us in this room know the worth of the shares we have in this company…” “Just in case you have forgotten where all of you stand, Mr. Lopez…” Brian retorted calmly, then he cleared his throat.“Let’s see…” He moved his eyes to the screen of the tablet he was still holding onto and cleared his throat. “Mr. Lopez…” He looked up at the young man with a wry smile, ignoring the annoyance he saw glittering in his eyes. “You have just two
End of it All
Even though he saw the anger glowing in Brian’s eyes, Jason Lopez was not ready to remain silent.“You had no right to take what rightfully belongs to us, Brian. We deserve everything we were given and more…” He barked, eyes burning with annoyance.But Brian was more interested in the greed he could see, irritated by its intensity. He took a deep breath, then he cleared his throat. “You think you have the right to be paid weekly for doing absolutely nothing?” He threw the question openly, turning to look at everyone. The two ladies turned away while Mr. Gavel coughed, pretending that he had any other reason for covering his face. Mr. Hugo on the other hand turned to the other partner, wondering why he had refused to speak out. “Won’t you fight for your right? This was not what we discussed.” His eyes sparked with a lingering persuasion, the kind of feeling that was laced with so much emotions.But he got no response from the apathetic middle-aged man who looked like he ju
Selfish Employer
Eyes turned to look at each other, everyone hoping for a messiah. But no one was ready to speak up, not even the zealous Jason.He bent his face to the ground, feeling the nauseating feeling that sank deep inside his throat. “However…” Brian had one last thing to say, and everyone lifted their faces to hear him speak, hoping that his utterance was going to come with some glimmer of hope.He held onto his wry smile, adding to their anticipation and uncertainty.“I have decided to keep one of you…”Head turned at once, eyes looking toward a particular direction.Everyone already knew who it was, glaring at them with hints of annoyance and jealousy glittering in their eyes.The middle-aged man had to hide his face, but that didn’t stop the heat from getting to you.“Yes. You are right…” Brian nodded to confirm their thoughts, his wry smile still intact. “Mr. Hamilton will still be a part of this conglomerate. Maybe not as a partner or investor, but as an employee. I think we
More Than Enough
Jason took a deep breath while he turned to face the Manager. “If that’s not what you earn in a year, then how much does he pay you annually?” He wasn’t certain he was ready for the answer to that, his voice slowly cracking. “Twelve million dollars, Mr. Lopez…” Oliver stated, causing an uproar of gasps to spread all over. Brian and Laura were the only ones who didn’t react to the revelation. “That’s impossible! Twelve million dollars in a year?!” “Yes, Mrs. Tyrion…” Oliver faced the lady, nodding in affirmation.“That’s besides the other benefits I get from working as the Manager of this company…” He paused, but the smile on his face showed he wasn’t done talking. “My two daughters are on free education in the school owned by the Regals. My newborn son is on medical insurance until he is two years old. My wife can go to the hospitals and clinics owned by the Regals for her postpartum checkups. I drive one of the latest cars, I have highly trained and equipped security ag
Another Brian
“What is this?” Brian felt the weightless box in his right hand, then he shook it. The clattering sound still didn’t satisfy his curiosity, and he was moved to open the box. Then he saw it; the object that needed no explanation even though he had never seen it except on screens. “Is this what I think it is?” He lifted his face, eyes wide while he stared at Arya.“Yes!” The lady nodded, her smile brightening.“You are pregnant!” Brian gasped, letting go of the box. He held onto the test tube, then his eyes moved to the screen.“Two red lines mean pregnancy… I have seen that in a movie…” He muttered, forced to take a deep breath.His mouth refused to close when he returned his gaze to Arya, staring at her charming eyes. “I am going to be a father…” Brian gasped again, disbelief sparking in his eyes.“You are going to be a good Dad, Brian. I am very sure of that.” Arya was very confident in her words, nodding to affirm them. Brian embraced his wife, then he sharply pulle
Carrick Brothers
Diego was furious on behalf of Brian, turning to see what his countenance looked like. But all he could see was a smile that Brian had refused to get rid of. He returned his gaze to the men and snorted. “Do you realize who you are talking to?” He asked, eyes flaming with annoyance. “Is that supposed to be relevant?” One of the older men blurted, eyes flashing with contempt. He took a deep breath, then he turned to Brian and cleared his throat. “I don’t care who you think you are, boy. But I need you to realize that this is a lost battle. We are the only ones allowed to build in this property, no one else…” He stood his ground, certain that his words were final.Brian scoffed, then he turned to the Concierge. “These are the men who made me drop the food I was about to eat…” He wasn’t asking, but the old man nodded in response. Brian scoffed, returning his eyes to the men.“I am assuming you are their Attorney. You are aiding their attempt to steal my property…”“Your
Forged Document
“What’s that?” Brian didn’t bother to look at the document, facing the Attorney. Kelvin’s expression dropped, his smile collapsing like a bombshell. “That’s the legal document of this property, Mr. Regal.” Stephen pointed out, his voice as cold as his stare. “I didn’t know the Regals had issues with their sights…” Ruben scorned, mockery blazing in his eyes. “Maybe you should start putting on glasses like your errand-man here…” He pointed to Diego and sniggered.“It will help with your partial blindness…” Brian huffed, a wry smile on his face.“That was really funny…” He said to Ruben, looking him in the eyes. “I am guessing you were also blind not to have seen that your genius of an Attorney presented you with a fake document. That’s not what a real title deed looks like…” He pointed while his eyes were still on Ruben. Silence followed as though it had been recommended, crawling inside the nerves of the two brothers like a curse. Again, they turned to face the Attorn
A Drastic Turn
Diego snorted, no longer finding the situation funny. He leaned closer to Brian and whispered;“Just say the word, Master Brian. I will gladly teach these morons a lesson.” His eyes were glittering with rage, his left hand already reaching for the phone inside his pocket.Brian sighed heavily, then he turned to face the old man. “Easy, Diego. Let’s give our friends a fair chance…” Diego grunted, but he knew he had no chance.He exhaled sharply, turning to face the Carrick brothers with disdain in his eyes. Brian stepped forward, his eyes on Kelvin before he cleared his throat.“This land has belonged to my family even before I was born. My father used to bring me here for camping…” He looked around as though he was in search of something, the memories crashing into his mind. “And that is why I have decided to erect something in remembrance of him. You see…” He paused for a second, taking two steps forward. “I should already be furious because you attacked my construct
