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. The men had gone through them for an hour, critiquing and commenting. Their faces were a mask, impossible to read which made her more nervous.When she had gotten the email asking her to create designs for a model that would be featured on Forbes magazine, she had been estatic and nervous at the same time. The job was wonderful but also tasking.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 74The man who stood before her was broken. He was a shadow of himself, it wasn’t just the dark circles around his eyes and the worried lines on his face, or his shrunken cheeks that were previously lush and full of life and smiles. It was his soul she saw. His soul was crushed and filled with pain. She knew it would come to this, prepared herself mentally and emotionally to support and console him. But nothing prepared her for this, she couldn’t speak or move. For the first time, she felt helpless and maybe useless too. And she blamed herself for it. For how he felt now and everything he had had to go through.“I still think we can fix this. I don’t want to give up just yet.” Vincent said.Scarlet walked up to him and shook him by the shoulders. “Wake up Vincent. This is reality. That’s the woman you fell in love with.

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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 77Benjamin Whitlock rarely used his fist. His words were enough to crumble anyone and he often used that. A phone call here, some buttons there and he could bring anyone to his knees. But it was different this time around.First, he had made phone calls. To his long time friends, business partners, acquaintances and international business colleagues. They all said the same thing.“We cannot go against Hernandez corporation.

She had so much work piled up and she needed to finish up with the design she was creating.She looked around the office. The emptiness stared back at her. It was 7pm already and all the staff had gone home. She sighed and stood up from her seat.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 79Xavier had relaxed a bit. The deep frown on his face had eased up and his jaws were no longer rigid. He loosened his tie and maneuvered a bend that led back to his company. Scarlet was seated next to him, watching him. She wondered what was going on in his head. Having to face the family that abandoned him and left him with nothing wasn’t an easy feat, but he had done it. She reached out her hand and made to touch him but thought against it. He still wasn’t himself. He had barely said anything on the ride back to the office. His mind seemed to be far away.He parked the car in the director’s spot and turned off the ignition.“Are you okay?”“Are you okay?”They stopped short and chuckled at their unison. They were worried about each other after all. Xavier nodded in response to her and she smiled and nodded too.“You did it. This is just the beginning Xavier.
