Soon Mello arrived at Blue Sea restaurant and went to an open seat.There were people around having their dishes and none paid attention to him.He checked the message the informant sent to thim again, to make sure he's not at the wrong place.He looked around, looking for any familiar face but found none." welcome sir" a gentle voice broke out beside him."Thank you," Mello replied, glancing up at the waiter with a nod. He tucked his phone away discreetly and focused on the menu, eager to blend in and wait for his contact to reveal themselves." What would you like to be offered, Sir?" The waiter asked again, dropping the menu on the table before Mello.Mello scanned the menu, pretending to be engrossed in the choices while keeping a keen eye on his surroundings. The gentle ambiance of the restaurant mixed with the murmur of conversation around him, creating a comforting backdrop to his anticipation. He remained alert, ready for any sign from his informant."

'Before Mello could blink an eye, just then securities stormed in fully armed.militaries also walked in, with guns pointing.The atmosphere suddenly became more tense as the militaries forced their way to Mello, surrounding him.They slowly led him through the car The press kept forcing their way closer but the armed personnel were finding it hard to keep them at bay. "President Mello, how do you respond to reports that patients have suffered adverse effects due to receiving expired medications from your hospit
Mello's heart pounded in his chest as he hurried towards the waiting car.He got there and was ushered into the car, the door closing behind him with a resounding thud, sealing him off from the tumultuous scene outside. Immediately the vehicle started moving, a sense of calmness washed over him as he leaned his back, resting himself on the leather seat.He turned to his side and saw Esther seated." Esther!" He called when he noticed her.She gave him a reassuring smile." I had to rush over as soon as I heard the news " He returned the smile before expressing his confusion." What's happening, Esther? Are the claims right? And where's Kelan?" He asked, showing great concern. " Is this how far Sir Ren is willing to go ? "Esther took a deep breath before answering" You have to see this" she said, pointing her phone in his direction.He took her phone from her and what he saw made his heart skip a beat......BREAKING NEWS! ASHLEY HEALTH CENTER IS CAUGHT USING EXPIRED DRUGS IN ITS
Mello held himself together inside the moving vehicle.He should be strong in this hard times. He can't afford to be weak. No one should be capable of bringing him down.His gaze hardened.He's going to strike back and he's going to do that in a hard way that'll make them regret ever crossing paths with him.Esther coughed twice in a manner to draw his attention." Sir, the investors have called for an emergency board meeting right now at the headquarters, how do you plan to go about this, Mello?" Mello sighed deeply then smiled." I'm attending that meeting, send a message to Kelan, tell him to meet him there "Esther suddenly went quiet.Mello noticed and turned to her again." What's wrong?" He asked and she sniffled hard in return." Kelan has been missing for the past three days now, Mello. We can't find him." She said, her tears threatening to fall.Esther's words hung in the air, . Mello's smile faded, replaced by a furrowed brow. He turned to her abruptly, "Missing? For thre
Esther couldn't help but feel a mixture of anxiety and curiosity as she glanced at Mello, her mind buzzing with questions. She observed this demeanor, searching for any hint of strategy in his expression.How would he persuade the investors to stay? It was a daunting task, one that would require all of Mello's smartness and intellect. But she had seen him rise to challenges before, and she had faith that he would find a way to rally their support. As the car drove into Ashley Quarters, Esther couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation, eager to see how Mello would turn the tables around. She knew that the fate of President Buster's legacy hung in the balance, and the possibility of failure loomed over them like a dark cloud.She observed Mello for the last time, her gaze tracing his line of sight to the imposing structure before them. The gravity of the moment seemed to hang heavy in the air, welcomed by the silence between them. As Mello's eyes remained fixed on the building,
Mr Rogers smiled and decided to add to the intensity of the situation He stood up and slowly spoke. " And let's not forget about the shopping mall project ongoing in New York. It's been days and no news has been heard which make me think it is safe to call it a fail. And thinking about it now, you have always failed us one way or the other , and yet you still want us to dive headfirst into this catastrophe with you? No, that's cruel, Mello." He said and some of the investors seem to agree with him. " Yes, yes, he's right. The shopping mall project has been on hold exceeding the stipulated time and all he ever came up with was excuses for more time, as for me, I cant fall for this trick again, I hope he doesn't deceive you guys again " Another said. " Yeah" few of the investors chorused. Esther got up when she couldn't endure their hurtful words again. " Even if you all are heartless, is there a need to show it? We should all be looking for a way forward here not criticizing
All through the drive, Esther's gaze never left Mello.He seemed bold and no single iota of fear could be detected in his eyes.Everyone knew how dangerous Sir Ren was and it troubled her to see Mello is going over to confront him.She quietly prayed in her mind for everything to turn out wellSoon the car arrived at a large opulent building and stopped.The outside may look beautiful and calm but Esther wondered what kind of cruelty may be going on inside its wall due to it's occupants.Esther quickly rushed down to join Mello who was already out of the carShe kept using her hand to cover her face to protect her eyes from the hot sun but Mello seemed to care less.He just kept staring at the building before him with strong intensity.Mello smiled on inspecting the surroundings.There were guards stationed at each key points of the building heavily armed. It was a befitting place for such an evil character.It made Mello smile to himself before proceeding to walk in.Esther tried to
" Yes, " Sir Ren nodded calmly, even though his eyes betrayed a hint of unease.Mello smiled bitterly, his anger simmering just beneath the surface.As the tension thickened in the room,they locked eyes, each exuding an air of authority, neither of them refusing to back down.Mello remained composed, the seriousness in his face making it hard for anyone to detect what was going on in his mind.A moment of silence hung in the air before Sir Ren's voice finally came up again "Fine. I took him. But what are you going to do about it? You can't touch me, Mello."Just then, a young man came from behind to stand beside Sir Ren, his body was adorned with tattoos and his head was concealed by a mask, leaving only his piercing eyes visible.He was clothed in black sweatshirt and rugged jeans.He gave out an annoying laughter and turned to Sir Ren.Sir Ren turned to the man with a nod, his expression unreadable. "Ah, Sean, you're here," The masked man bowed slightly " I've taken care of everyt
