"Mr. Theo, what should we do now?" The man with round glasses sitting at the front, right on my right side, looked at me with a sharp gaze.The man is the head of the cosmetics production division owned by Haw & Co. and has been working here for about 10 years, which of course means he is older than me. Beside him was the head of the marketing division, followed by the head of the general division; in front of him sat the head of spending and my secretary. Meanwhile, I was sitting in the middle, where the center of attention was on me."Okay, how far will this case be taken by the opposing company?" I asked them about the progress of the case, which should have been resolved."They don't accept compensation money or peace internally. They feel disadvantaged, especially with some of the same products." The head of the marketing division speaks. "They said it means they need to rebrand, and it costs more money and effort.""Then what do they want if they don't want to reconcile internal

It has been a month since Mr. Hawthorne left the company. Mr. Hawthorne went with his wife somewhere to vacation and rest together. Meanwhile, I have to take care of all the things left by Mr. Hawthorne. All business matters are now my responsibility."Please reduce the budget for packaging because this is already 2 percent out of the budget.” I tell Preston, who helps me sort things out."Yes sir.""Oh yes, for the production of the latest cosmetic masks, don't forget to check the eligibility and inform me.” I signed the financial papers and enclosed them in a folder."It's in progress, sir. I will bring it here when the due diligence has been completed.” Preston picked up the financial file folder in front of me and took it with him."Okay," I said, still thinking about something that seemed to have been forgotten. "Is there anything I missed?"My eyes fell on Preston, who was standing straight in front of my desk with a folder on his right side. Preston didn't flinch and answered m

Spencer pulled my collar even more and our faces were close together, really close. Our eyes met without any fear. Secretary Spencer and Preston still stood at attention and cautions. "Do what you want to do, Spencer." My words, of course, made Spencer's ears become steaming. "Don't pretend to have everything, Theo!" Spencer whispered while clenching his teeth. "I do have the power over this." I emphasized to him so that Spencer would realize. "I do have the right to refuse the funds you're offering me." "If I tell this to my father, he will accept this proposal." "Try it." I didn't care at all and wasn't afraid of what Mr. Hawthorne's decision would be."You'll see, Theo! I'll get even with you!" Spencer pushed me back quite hard and shouted. "Sir, are you alright?" Preston immediately came over to me. I smiled and gestured, "I'm fine, Preston. Thank you." "Let's get out of here!" Spencer looked very angry. "There's no point in us being here and begging that son of a bitch."

Three days on, my condition is getting better. This morning the doctor will examine me for the last time. Preston still faithfully accompanies me and almost never leaves me alone, because he doesn't want something like this to happen again. "Mr. Theo's condition has improved, you are allowed to go home." The doctor decided. "But remember, don't do anything heavy first so that the internal wounds can recover quickly too." I listened to the doctor's words carefully, "Yes, doctor. Thank you very much." "Then, I'll help you pack your things, sir." Preston immediately helped me. "Alright, then you'll have to excuse me." The doctor said goodbye and left us. I stood up and put on the office coat that was draped over the chair by the bed. Preston had brought dirty clothes and the laptop I'd brought to the hospital so I could keep working. Preston opens the door for me and then walks almost at my pace. "I'll take care of the paperwork first, you can go straight to the car." I instructed

Landon took Megan to his car and opened the door for Megan. "Thank you," said Megan, getting into the car.Landon jogged to the driver's seat, readied himself, and then started the engine. The car Megan was riding in was moving fast. Silence enveloped Megan and Landon during the journey to the Hawthorne family residence. Megan didn't bother either and just stared at the window. Megan is more worried about what will happen to her after this.Megan took her cell phone and then called her mother. "Hello, mom," Megan said flatly."Where have you been?" Megan's mother's voice could be heard clearly from behind the phone.Megan moved her ear away from her cell phone and answered, "Megan has business matters, so Megan will be home late." Megan explained with a tired expression."What business matters? Don't make excuses, Megan.""Sorry, mom, Megan has to go." Megan immediately hung up the phone.Megan stared at her cell phone screen while taking a long, heavy breath. Megan put her cell phone
