WHAT IF THEY NEVER ACCEPT ME?
“Before we proceed with the next item, I would like to hear your opinion on the proposed changes to the company's operations.”Scarlett glanced at the documents in front of her before addressing the senior members seated around the conference table. It was her first major business meeting since officially taking charge of the Caspian family, and she had already noticed that not everyone was comfortable with the change.“The proposal is straightforward. We have been spending too much on maintaining several unprofitable divisions. I intend to restructure them rather than continue using company resources to keep them running.”One of the senior executives leaned forward. “With all due respect, Miss Caspian, those divisions have been part of this family's business for years. Closing or restructuring them could affect our existing relationships.”“I haven't proposed closing them without reviewing their contracts. I've already examined the financial records, and the current arrangement is c
BEYOND ORDINARY REVENGE
“Have you found anything new about the people behind the weapons consignment?”Orion stood beside a table, reviewing the latest reports on his computer.From the moment Ethan had informed him about the illegal weapons consignment, he had been following the intermediaries connected to the shipment, but their activities had become increasingly difficult to trace. Every time he uncovered one connection, it led to totally different organisations with no obvious involvement in the operation.He opened a recently received report and read through it again.One of the intermediaries had met an unfamiliar individual two nights earlier. The meeting itself wasn't unusual, but the man's previous communication records caught Orion's attention. He had been in contact with someone who had recently approached Charlie.Orion leaned back in his chair, considering the connection.Charlie had already been identified as one of the people involved in arranging transactions connected to the shipment. Howeve
I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOUR DECISION
“How much longer all these people expect me to wait?”Charlie paced around the small room, growing increasingly irritated as he checked his phone. He had arranged the meeting two days ago, and the intermediary had finally agreed to bring him into contact with the people handling the weapons consignment. He wasn't going to waste this opportunity.His life had become unbearable since Jerome threw him out of the Carvendish mansion, he was forced to live in a cramped apartment he could barely tolerate. Every time he thought about Ethan enjoying the life that should have been his, his anger grew.But making Ethan lose his position wasn't enough anymore.Charlie wanted the entire Carvendish family gone. He wanted Jerome, Hailey, Sally, and Ethan to lose everything permanently including their lives. He didn't want another opportunity for them to recover or rebuild their lives. He wanted to make sure none of them could ever stand in his way again.His phone vibrated with a message containing
WE CAN'T CHANGE IT
“Did you manage to meet Ethan?” Hailey questioned the moment Sally entered the living room.Sally placed her handbag on the nearby table and let out a tired breath before answering. “I did, Mom, but it wasn't the meeting I hoped for, I don't even know whether it can be really called as meeting?”Hailey moved closer, searching her daughter's face for some sign of hope. “What happened? Didn't he listen to you or didn't you get a chance to explain why you went to see him?”“He didn't give me that chance mom,” Sally admitted, taking a seat on the sofa. “I stood for almost three hours and got his favourite deserts thinking we could at least have a proper conversation, but he threw the entire box into the trash right in front of me without any hesitation.”Hailey stared at her in disbelief. “He threw them away?”“Yes, Mom. He didn't even bother opening the box or at least pretending to keep them till i left, he was cold the entire time. He told me to leave, and when I tried to speak again,
DOES THAT MEAN I'LL BE YOUR FIRST CUSTOMER?
"It could become complicated, but there's no reason to assume that it will affect us.” Ethan gave an explanation in a calm tone. “General Hawke's team is handling the investigation, and I have no intention of interfering with their operation.""You're certain?" Scarlett pressed with a worried face.Ethan reached across the table and placed his hand over hers. "My love, I wouldn't dismiss your concern if there were a reason to worry. But I'm not going to bring unnecessary trouble into our lives.""I don't want you getting involved in something dangerous just because Charlie has made another terrible decision." Scarlett frowned. “That idiot really never let us live in peace, I wish I could get rid of him for good.” "Come on Scarlett, you know about me, I'll never involve myself in danger no matter what happens.” "Sometimes you behave as if you have to handle everything yourself. You can tell me when something is troubling you, Ethan. I don't want you keeping things from me because you
THAT'S DIFFICULT TO SAY
"Are you planning to spend the entire evening waiting for me, or have you already forgotten how to entertain yourself?"Scarlett's voice reached Ethan as she entered their bedroom, carrying her handbag and a few files from the office. He was sitting on the sofa with his laptop open, but his attention shifted towards her immediately."That depends on how long my wife intends to keep me waiting," Ethan replied, closing his laptop. "I knew you had told me that you're going to a fancy dinner all alone to enjoy by yourself, but judging by the time right now, I've been considering whether I should send someone to bring you home.” Scarlett placed her handbag on the dressing table. "You wouldn't dare. I had three meetings today, and I still have to review several documents before tomorrow morning, I just teased you about the fancy dinner, I didn't have time even to take a sip of water, from where the fancy dinner comes?” "Then perhaps I should speak to your employees and remind them that th
