"But he respects the man a lot, I don't think he could have done that to him". Says another.Then the first speaker got furious."Are you sure you are even in this country?Didn't you hear that the man's only son is his son in-law, and due to being his in-law, he took advantage of it, and slept with h

I was about to go in, when the same man from Australia spoke again."Who gave a contracted son in-law the mouth to speak when real CEOs are speaking? You should be home with your wife, it is getting late, else, you might not get to eat tonight". The crowd mocked with a chuckle. some, probably still trying to hide their disdain and jealousy, while others just didn't know how to public humiliate Damien, because they do not know if he has any back up.I wanted to speak, but Damien held out his hand.He stop

Maybe I am the only one thinking he might be worried, when he is not.My father expected me to react happily as he is, but I was just too preoccupied."What is it my love? He asked, showing concern.I didn't hide my feelings, there was no point to hide my feelings, he could read through me, he could already see what was eating me up."I miss him father".
