“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

“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

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

“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

“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
