Richard was in his office on a cold evening when his secretary walked in to drop a document on his table.

He took the document and dismissed his secretary only for him to be stunned by the content. "Wait, what!?" He exclaimed. He hastily stood up holding unto the documents.

On getting to Lawyer Raphael's office, he hesitated before pushing the door open. "Lawyer Raphael, what am I seeing? Why would an article about Chairman Conrad's disappearance be published?"

Lawyer Raphael dropped his pen on his desk as he raised his head, gazing at the angry lawyer in front of him who was clutching onto the document he was holding tightly.

"Lawyer Richard, the article hasn't be published, you're the first to see it." He pointed out.

Richard gazed at the paperwork again, "Did the chairman really disappear? What's going on? The new CEO is on office even without the chairman? How is that possible?"

Lawyer Raphael sighed, he stood up and walked towards Richard, resting on his desk. "Lawyer Richard, Si

He stood up from the bed pacing back and forth with unease. "Cosmos, can you arrange for another lawyer? I don't think Richard Velvet will be eligible." Cosmos let out a low laugh. "I know your history with Richard Velvet, young master and that's the more reason the chairman appointed him as your lawyer.""Wait, the chairman?" Chris exclaimed almost yelling."Duty calls, young master. I'll be home during dinner." Cosmos informed before hanging up.At the mention of the chairman, Yue Wang felt uneas

Everything I've been doing so far. I'm doing all that for you and when I become the wife of the chairman, you won't have anything to worry about.""But...but...still I can't go against the chairman and you don't have any right to threaten me with my secret."

    "Larry, did you see the news?" Liana came out of her room, rushing to the sitting room where she found Larry focused on the big screen, his face void of any emotion as she thought about what was going through his mind.

I just think that they weren't supposed to disclose the news." Liana nodded her head in agreement.

"What I mean is that you should make the tenses simpler. I think the first written article was much easier to read than this." Chris pointed out, explaining everything she needed to make amends for in the article she had rewritten."You prefer the one written by some unknown person than mine?" Yue Wang kissed her teeth, feigning annoyance to get on his nerves.A hearty chuckle escaped Chris's lips. "That's not what I mean.
