“Now, where we’re we?” Owen asked and smiled. Maria’s heart began to beat faster at the sinister smile Owen had on. “Ladies and gentlemen, I have gone through all the proposals and just like my colleague had said earlier, they were all good but I couldn’t take all so I have chosen the two best among them.” He paused a little and stared at the crowd before commencing.“After much deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that the two most worthy contracts are the ones from the Steeles and Mrs Tamara here” He paused for a while as the whole crowd grumbled about his decision. Many felt he had selected them because they were his relatives. Because it was no coincidence that he had chosen his former family’s business and his wife’s family business. Maria was happy beyond comprehension. The joy she felt in her heart at that moment was the most she had felt in her entire lifetime.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN Owen had just gotten home and he was kinda tired. He had to admit tho, he missed all this. The early morning coffee, the stamping and signings and the occasional roundups of the top deals. He opened the door with his fingerprint and as soon as he walked into the building, he sighed. The whole place was quiet and kinda empty. He massaged his left shoulder with his right hand and did the same with the other but he felt no relief. He was fuc*ing tired. He had just slumped into the couch when he heard the doorbell ring. He was kinda suprised because it was late already. He stared at the clock on the wall and the time was five minutes past eleven. Heck, he didn’t know that it was this late, he had been so busy that he lost track of time. The doorbell rang again and this time, he furrowed his brows. He stood up from the couch carefully and tiptoed to the door. He peeped from the peephole and he saw that it was none other than Mia. He stared for a while, trying to asce

She felt he was trying to play some sick game but she couldn’t counter his attacks when she didn’t even know what the game was.

She had thought that he would refuse her contract immediately but he ended up accepting it. She was well aware that their companies were not the ones with the best deals but he had accepted theirs anyways. She was also surprised with the fact that he was the CEO of Echelon. She remembered clearly when she had collected the company from Owen after his father, her husband’s death. He had been devastated, depressed even. It felt as though his whole life had been collected
