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

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.

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.

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.
