HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 49Alex was nervous as hell. This was the first time he was actually going to pitch a business proposal to an investor.His palm was sweaty and his heart was pounding so hard that he feared his knees might give way and he'd tumble to the floor."I can't do this. I'm too nervous." He said facing Scarlet."Seriously? Why would you be nervous? Haven't you been in the business world for some years now? Meeting a few investors should not be a big deal for you." She said."I told you already, my brother used to do this and when he left, my dad and other executives took over it.""And you wonder why they doubt your competence?" She said sternly. "Since you can't do it, leave!" She said coldly"What? You're supposed to be giving me encouraging words not asking me to leave."

In all his years of doing business, this was the first time he had actually achieved something for himself without doing anything shady.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 51The room was silent for a whole minute and that one minute felt like hours. The silence was deafening and heavy. They both stood staring, glaring daggers at each other. The weight of her threat seemed to make the room spin. She had expected him to scream at her, or even hit her, but the silence surprised her even more. And then suddenly, Alex broke into a laugh. A sickening, sinister, cackling laugh that sent shivers down her spine and goosebumps on her skin. Her confusion deepened.“Did you hear what I said Alex?” Clara asked not certain he understood the threats she just made. “I swear I’m not playing. I will fucking go to the cops and tell them that you’re a murderer! You kill people to get what you want you piece of trash!”Alex closed the space between them in lightening speed and grabbed her by the elbow.
