HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 73Clara looked from one middle aged face to the other, slightly older man’s. She waited patiently as they conversed amongst themselves, each weighing her presentation and the ideas she brought to the table.Her sketch book with the designs she was trying to establish laid open on the table.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 75Alex was frantic after the phone call. He never expected such interest in the affairs of his company.
