He paused and continued “I felt the financial projections were overly optimistic, we need to ensure that our partnership should be based on realistic expectations and should not sound financial planning alone. Your presentation lacks specific potential risk mitigation strategies.” He said with a more serious tone. He didn’t hide anything from them, he said everything in his mind.The manager tried to defend his proposal. He stood up from his seat, his expression had changed from happiness to disbelief. “Mr. Ryan.

My laptop was having difficulty, so I thought about using yours to finish my work,” he said, getting up from the seat and walking towards Ryan.Ryan stared at him in disbelief, he didn’t believe his statement.Ryan clenched his hand into a fist. He narrowed his eyes, suspicious pricking at the back of his mind. “You should have called the technician to get your laptop checked, my laptop is confidential. I don’t want you going through my laptop again or coming into my office without my permission.” Ryan said firmly.“But Ryan, we are brothers and grandfather said whatever belongs to you, belongs to me as well.” He said.
