"I'm sorry gentlemen, I wasn't supposed to call this meeting on such a short notice but it is important due to the things, I'll call them rumors circulating, trying to destroy our company name." Liam began the next day in the boardroom.A certain blogger had gone around speaking all manner of wrong things about him. He had paid someone to take care of the faceless coward he still wanted to save face on the front. "So, I know that a few people might have seen the news... Yes?" He drawled and a few of the partners nodded. "Exactly what I thought. Now, that's what I call sabotage in business. It's obvious that they are concerned with making sure that nobody believes me anymore. It's a method of tarnishing one's image to fit their bill. I won't dance to anyone's tune so if they so please, they can go ahead to keep running their gossip mills." Mr. Bart stared at Liam carefully. He didn't think that it was totally false however he kept his thoughts to him

The thrill of adventure pushes Sean to call Brielle the next morning. "Hey, babe. It's been long time since we spoke. Are you okay now?" Brielle looked at her phone and stared at Nikki who was now camping at her house, commuting to and fro her house. "I don't know who this is. Who are you ?" She replied with a bite in her voice. He didn't feel deterred by her response because he knew that women always acted that way especially when they didn't like the said person, it was just a way for them to dissuade the person from calling them. "I don't know... Who did you give your number to?" Brielle sighed angrily, she really didn't have the time nor energy to go through all of these with someone who was clearly not serious with her. Why would someone be calling just to be a pest in her life? "You don't want me to know who you are, Mr. Caller. I don't have time for this nonsense. It's either you state your identity or get lost." She snapped. It was obviously someone who had a lot of

Martins looked up when he saw that Brielle was coming in. He hissed lowly as he wondered why she was here."Good morning, ma'am. I didn't think you could come here." He spoke softly but she saw beyond his calm demeanor that he wasn't in any way pleased with her presence."Oh, really... I didn't know that you were going to be here, I heard that you don't come to work lately. Is there any problem at all?" "No, there isn't but I believe that you're here to seek one, seeing your stance," Martins replied, this time not pretending to be on her side at all Brielle gestured to a seat. "May I? Even if you don't want me here." She replied and he stared at her, before offering her a curt nod. That told her everything that she needed to know. "I didn't think that you wanted to be associated with the business seeing that it could be hard for the common man to comprehend." Brielle's fake smile faded. She wasn't in the mood for that nonsense this time around. "I am not here for jokes Martins. I

“That’s all I ask for and this is all for the betterment of our company and I’m trying to make sure that we don’t make decisions that’ll affect us,” Martins said in a quite convincing tone.“But what if the reason she tells us is different from what you’re telling me?” A board member asked and that got Martins infuriated immediately.“Are you trying to go against me? Are you trying to insinuate something? Like I’m lying or what are you trying to say exactly?” Martians stood up staring directly at Micheal, a part of the board who just voiced out.The woke atmosphere was already tense and everyone knew that Martins wasn’t in a good mood. They wondered if it was about the meeting he said he had with Brielle or if it was something else.“Of course not, I do not have any plan of going against you and I’m not trying to Insinuate anything, pardon me if it seems that way. I’m just trying to say that if she comes here and says something else, are we supposed to tell her what you said?” Micheal

Brielle paced in front of the corridor as she thought of what to do if Sean decided to call her bluff. This wasn't going to change the fact that her family just went broke as if they had never been rich in their life. That taught her that anyone could go broke. There was no one beyond being broke. If there was anything that she wanted to change, it was the fact that life was filled with uncertainty. Aside from that, it also managed to teach her that there was a reason why life was unpredictable. Her mind wandered to her grandmother. She had not seen her after that stunt that the girl pulled. But that shouldn't stop her from trying to keep in touch with them, did it?She looked at her mother who was a shell of herself, her eyes were tired bearing all the weight of the world. "Mom, are you sure that you are okay?" Her mother blinked as if just returning to Earth to see what was happening. She didn't know what to feel. "Yeah, I am. A little frustrated but I'll be fine. I need to do
