She wasn’t going to let this man intimidate her “Ok, allow me to go into details. When my mother called for me to return home, I already knew it was about this marriage stuff because she has been doing this shit over the years and it was kinda getting tiring.

Would you mind to enlighten me?” “Have you not seen the news or are you trying to play dumb with me?” Owen asked with a tilt of his head and Maria felt sweat on her palms. This was not how she pictured their meeting would be but she choosed not to be intimidated by him. “Well, I should be the one asking you that Owen. How come the stocks you bought from us, just a few days ago is being rumored to be sold at half the price? What games are you trying to play if I may ask?” Owen huffed “and why the hell would I sell something I bought for half the price knowing fully well that I would be losing a lot of money.
