"Sorry I asked to meet with you on such short notice," Derek apologized to the lady in front of him. "I could have texted you but I don't think it's safe anymore.""It's a good thing you mentioned that because I was about to ask you why you didn't just tell me what you want via the phone." That was the response he got from the lady.The lady was none other than Nadia. He had summoned her to meet with him after thinking through his options of finding a good way out of his predicament.She wasn't his first choice but she seemed like the most feasible option. And what was left now was for him to make good use of that option."So what's the issue that you so badly had to call to see me?" Nadia wanted to know as she sat uprightly to listen to what Derek had to say. All along she was sitting very relaxed because of her nonchalance of being there with him."The first thing you need to know is that I'm not trying to blackmail you this time around…""Oh good. Then I think I don't have any busi

"Still nothing?" Derek asked, a little surprised a while after the call he put through to the man got picked."Nothing," Marcus admitted over the phone. "I've tried and tried but nothing seems forthcoming. I won't lie to you, it's a dead end.""I thought you have friends that are into stuff like this. Can't they help us out?"Derek was already frustrated as he asked that question. He hoped to get a better answer from his friend because that was the only way he could actually feel better to hold this conversation."And you think they didn't already try?" Marcus asked him. "Derek, I already told you that the line was like an encrypted one. It was going to take a lot to knock it down.I put in a lot of effort into knocking it down. My people too. But nothing came out of it. Just some bunch of nonsense that wasn't going to be useful."With his hand running through his hair, Derek stood up to think. He hoped to get a better flow of thoughts from that point as he did that but it seemed stan

The first thing Derek did as soon as Gina went out of his office was shut down his laptop. Then he stood up from his seat and began to head out of his office.His destination was Gina's office where he hoped he would be able to talk things out with her. Even though it hasn't been for long, he was already fed up with staying away from her.He wanted to patch things up with her. So when he got in front of her office, he didn't bother knocking because he guessed she might totally ignore him when she found out it was him at the door.Instead, he pushed the door open to come in contact with the lady staring at him directly from behind her desk.Her expression was neutral and he was glad that he didn't have to deal with an angry looking woman as he wasn't the best in that aspect."Gina, I need to talk to you," he first said as he stood by the door which he managed to close while not breaking eye contact with her."What do you want?" Her question was solid without beating about the bush."To

"So, I'm not the one you're suspecting now, right?" Gina asked for reaffirmation. She wanted to be sure about where she stood before getting on further with the conversation."I wasn't necessarily suspecting you, Gina. To be honest, I was just mad that I got into that kind of situation. And maybe I did suspect you a bit. I thought you might have been working with my wife into getting something like that that can be used against me."Derek explained that to the hearing of the lady. His expression was neutral as he waited for her to understand what he just said.Gina shook her head, disappointment written on her face. "I will admit that coming onto you was a mistake. But I would never make that mistake of betraying you. I don't understand why you would think so low of me," she said while still expressing disappointment."I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking when I acted that way and that's why I already apologized."Gina says nothing to him for a while. She self reflected within that time frame

When he arrived at the manager's office, he was immediately directed to the conference room by the secretary.It was strange because his assistant didn't specify what type of meeting it would be with the manager. But it didn't expect it to be a conference type of meeting when it was just a discussion between the both of them. Except it was more than that.Getting to the conference room, he felt there was something off about the place. That thought lingered in his head even as he proceeded to push the door into it open.Inside the room, it wasn't just the manager that was there. The assistant manager as well as the supervisor sat in the room.At the end of the table was a man whom he had never set his eyes on before. The man was well-suited and had this weird aura surrounding him.Ignoring that, Derek acknowledged the manager and the other officials before taking a seat."Sorry, I'm late. I just received your message," he told them."It's okay, Mr. McKay. We were just discussing with M

"Who is Eugene Leviathan?" Derek asked that question in such an aggressive manner that his assistant thought for a moment that he was annoyed at him.Derek was walking too fast as they both headed back to his office together. All through the meeting, his assistant had stayed outside the conference room."Eugene Leviathan?" the assistant questions him back."That's what I said.""Eugene Leviathan is a district manager—"Derek cuts him off, "I know that already. But who exactly is he other than being a manager at the Jackson and Sons Consortium?""Do you want me to provide you information on his private life?"Staring at his assistant briefly before looking ahead, he asked, "Do you have it?""I do," the assistant said almost quietly."Then give it to me.""Mr. Eugene Leviathan, from my findings, is the youngest child of the chairman of Jackson and Sons. According to reports, he became a district manager about five to six years ago and has been influential in the Consortium maintaining i

Unconsciously, Derek dropped the spoon he was holding. That action alone made Catherine very confused as she didn't expect him to react that way."I'm sorry," he apologized after realizing what he did. "What did you say you are again? Pregnant?" he asked for clarification."Yes," she responded but the confusion was still written on her face."Sorry I'm acting this way. I just haven't processed the news yet.""What exactly are you finding hard to process?""That you're pregnant. I'm not sure whether to be happy or be super excited. It's the best news I've received in a while," he told his wife.It was at that time that she realized the overwhelming feeling that must have eaten up her husband after being informed of the news of her pregnancy."This is the best news ever. I'm happy to hear this," Derek told her and then reached out for her hand on the table. Catherine smiled and then took his hand in hers while she enjoyed the moment."I'm happy you're happy," she told him."How long gon

Derek was destabilized. And it was that instability that he took with him back home.From the look of things, he wasn't safe anymore. He couldn't do things willingly without actually having it at the back of his head that he was being watched by someone he didn't know.Who knows how many more pictures the person had of him. Pictures that could generate questions due to the way they looked.He went straight to the bedroom once he was at the apartment. He wasn't surprised when he found Catherine already on the bed, supposedly waiting for him to join her."Where did you go?" she asked him as he joined her on the bed with his mind still going through a lot of dilemma.Halfheartedly, he responded, "I went for a walk around the neighborhood.""I see," was what she told him before silence ensued between both of them. It was what he wanted at that point because he still had a lot that he wanted to think about.He thought about the possibility of the person watching him being one of the neighb

"Congratulations, Derek. But you don't look too happy about it," Gina pointed out."Because I'm not sure what to make of the news…""What happened this time around?""Nothing. I just don't know how exactly I'm supposed to feel when I'm still suspecting her of cheating. It's going to be hard for me to admit it's my child she's carrying.""I don't think you need that," Gina said. "She took the time to tell you she's pregnant with your child. Which means that she's happy that's finally going to have your baby. I don't think that would relate with her supposedly having the child for another man.""We would never know," Derek simply said as a way to shift the topic of discussion. He didn't see himself going deep into it with Gina and as well wasn't even comfortable discussing it when he was still battling with the idea."So you're going to be a father, huh? Have you thought of the name you're going to give the child?"Derek shook his head. "I haven't yet. But I'm sure I'll do some thinking

"Why did you ask to see us, Mr. McKay? How urgent is it that you couldn't decide to see us some other time?" the assistant manager from the other end of the table asked Derek. Even the manager himself revealed the expression of someone that didn't want to be there.However, Derek looked past that to say, "I'm sorry that this might seem like the wrong time to call for a meeting. I'm even feeling the inconvenience myself because I should be on the way home by now. But we have to thrash this out first so we can be on the safe side.""It's about the collaboration, isn't it?""It is, sir.""We already told you, Mr. McKay. That part is already over. We have made the decision to go for the deal and that's what we'll be doing.""I understand, sir. Still I have a question to ask regarding that.""What is it?""Does the company plan on being a business under the consortium? Probably be a merger company that has its control and affairs being directed by the consortium…"The question he asked now
