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. We can provide those details. 1 didn’t want to overwhelm you with numbers, I understand your concern about it. But we can revisit our financial projection and can also provide conservative estimates if that would be suitable for our collaboration.” He said politely. His heart was pounding fast in disappointment. He sat down with his face etched with concern and uncertainty.“Mr. Maxwell, I get your point but as a real estate company, we need a data-driven decision.” He said.
He took up the phone with his face furrowed, “Hello,”“Hello, Ryan. How are you.” Elizabeth asked.Ryan sighed and answered slowly. “I am doing good.” “You didn’t call me, even when I told you I would be travelling. You never even bothered calling me to know if I got home safely the last time we met.” She said in a disappointed tone.Ryan was contemplating if he should inform her about what happened the night, “Hello, Hello. Are you there? “ she asked.” “Sorry, I was busy. But I have something important to ask you,” he said.“What is it,” she asked politely.“Who is Douglas Reed?” Ryan uncontrollably asked.Elizabeth was speechless, she struggled to utter a word. Ryan could hear her breathing pace from the phone.“He is my ex-boyfriend, Ryan. We broke up two months ago and he is still coming back threatening to deal with me if I don’t accept him back. I am sorry I never informed you about it.” She said,“But how did you know,” she asked.Ryan explained. “After, you left that day. A
Douglas Reed sat across from Juan Pablo Ramirez, Juan’s expression was unreadable as he stared at the man seated before him. He sat behind his desk, puffing his cigar. His office was filled with smoke and the smell of liquid, making it difficult for Douglas to breathe.“Well, well, look who is here, my old friend, Douglas Reed. What brings you to my abode tonight? You look worried man, cheer up.”“Get me a glass, I need to make my guest feel comfortable. What do you want, whiskey or Vodka?” He said to be certain Douglas was ready to drink.“Whiskey,” Douglas replied with a fallen demeanour.Juan snapped his finger and his guards did as instructed, he poured some whiskey into the glass before Douglas Reed. Douglas raised his hand to stop the guard when he noticed he was satisfied with the quantity he wanted to drink. He gulped it once into his mouth, and demanded another round, Juan narrowed his eyes at him. The guard poured the same portions into the wine glass. Before he bows and mo
Douglas nodded, he leaned forward with his hand on the desk. “ I want him humiliated and killed, but first I want to see him face to face before you kill him. I want him to feel the pain I felt when his guards were beating me. I want him to know that I, Douglas Reed. Is untouchable in Brentwood.” He uttered in desperation.“When Elizabeth sees that her new lover is no more she would come back begging for my love. Then will I decide if I would accept her back or not,” he said sarcastically.Juan Pablo raised his eyebrows at Douglas, he puffed more smoke into the air. “Douglas, I have heard everything you said. You know if you want my help, you will have to pay a price.” Juan reminded Douglas.He shook his head in understanding, he grasped the content of Juan’s words. “I am ready to pay whatever price, all I want is for the job to be done.” He said in a mean and determined tone.Juan shook his head slightly, “You have nothing to worry about. I will get him and bring him to you, then you
The number rang and after a few minutes the call got connected, without hesitation Diane Carter voiced out. “Hello, Mr. Ryan.”“Hello, send me your location. I am willing to help you save your mother.” He said in a low tone.“Thank you, Mr. Ryan. I will send a private jet and my driver will be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive.” Diane said softly and politely.He terminated the call while calling his secretary, Susan and the Vice president Mrs. Juliet Benjamin informing them about his absence from work.He moved towards the staircase hurriedly, his face was engrossed with concern for the woman. He met his butler by the door, he was prepared to accompany his boss to his office.“Good morning, young master,” Nicolas said with a smile.“Good morning, Nicolas. I have an emergency in Johnson City, I need to be there in an hour. Get the car ready.” He said, with his voice barely above a whisper.“Johnson City,” Nicolas exclaimed.Ryan nodded his head in response, “Is there any
Ryan sighed deeply and mouthed. “I will need to help reduce the effect of the overdose.” He said.Diane nodded weakly as she listened intently to everything Ryan was saying, “Please, we are ready to do anything or pay any amount for her to be back on her feet.” Diane said.“Diane, I will need some time to perform the healing process. I don't want any distractions and I will need your help as well.” Ryan said.“How can I assist you?” Diana asked.“You need to help me with some boiled water, place it in a bowl and come with a clean hand towel,” Ryan mentioned what he needed for the treatment.Nicolas stood still with his gaze at his master, he was still surprised by how his master knew about herbal treatment. He felt like asking him how he got his skill but couldn't gather his words together, so he exhaled through his mouth. “Nicolas, can I have my bag?” Ryan said.Nicolas walked towards his master and handed him his bag. Ryan collected it slowly and placed it on the bed beside Abigail
Suddenly, she blinked her eyelid while slowly opening her eyes as consciousness began to return. Ryan smiles gently, a sense of relief washing over his face and Mrs. Abigail awakening.“Who are you?” she asked with a weak voice.Diane jumps in excitement when she hears her mother's voice. She moved towards the bed, she was so lost in excitement that she jumped and hugged Ryan. “Ohh!” Ryan screamed a little. She disentangled from him and apologised. “I am sorry, Mr. Ryan.” She said, “Thank you very much, I don't know how to express my gratitude for everything you have done for my mother. I don't know what we would have done without you.” Diane said with her voice filled with gratefulness.“You are welcome,” Ryan said, he smiled warmly. His heart swelled with pride at the impact of his actions. “She needs to rest and focus on recovering,” Ryan said when he saw how Diane tried to make her mother sit. “Who is he?” Mrs. Abigail Carter asked with a weak voice. Diane smiled at her mo
The guards came in with a laptop, and Diane instructed them to play the footage of the day when the incident occurred. The guards didn’t hesitate as their fingers were clicking against the keyboard.They finally found the video, a large projector was brought into the room, and they played the video and all eyes were fixated on the screen.Diane’s eyes widened in extreme shock when she noticed she had accused the wrong person. She was mute and couldn’t utter a word.“What!!” Mrs. Abigail Carter said with her weak voice.Veronica’s cry slowed, she crawled with her knees towards Ryan. “Thank you, sir, You saved my life. You are not only a healer but a saviour, “ she said with gratitude.Diane faces the first lady who claims to have seen Veronica giving drugs to Mrs. Abigail. Diane’s eyes were blazing in fire and her fist was clenched. She slapped her, and the maid staggered backwards. “ How dare you, Why are you this wicked? You were the one behind this and you accused Veronica.” She sa
