Upon arrival at work the next morning, Leonard breezed into his sister's office. Estelle was busy clearing her desk when the door swung open and she turned to see her brother walking in. " Hey, how are you doing? I was about to call you. I know that you might be angry that I didn't stop by the hospital last night. I was really tired. I'd do that today." "Oh, it's fine. I know you'd have tried to come if it was within your control." Estelle stared at her brother suspiciously. He was happy about something and it made her curious."Did anything interesting happen last night?" She wiggled her brows and Leonard didn't respond a word. "I hate suspense and you know it. May I know what happened?" She requested.Leonard stared at her for a second and thought about his next words. She might not be able to stomach what she heard. "I have a new rule in this company."Estelle rested a palm on the table and leaned on her weight. " Oh? Is that why you're acting this way?" She inquired."Yes, it
Leonard sat alone in his office room, his heart and his soul invested in the work that he was busy doing as always. He organized a couple of files on his laptop and was going through some of the emails he had only recently received from some of their clients. While he was very pleased by the number of good reviews and satisfied clients they had, he still had mixed feelings because not all the reviews and feedback were satisfactory.Being the kind of person he was, he made notes of all the negative feedback and decided to give Malena a few more changes in the company. As he made this decision in his mind, his thought process went back to what had happened before, after he had made a previous change in the company along with the resulting or subsequent discussion that he had with both of his siblings who went by the names Antonio and Estelle with regards to it. This single simple thought in turn served as an eye-opener to a whole Pandora's box of rather complicated feelings, most of
Antonio grows annoyed by the special treatment that Leonard has been receiving since he was found. Since he had been in this company, nobody found it worthy to request an interview.His gaze narrowed at the journalist who was busy having the time of her life interviewing one of the most successful men she had ever been fortunate to meet and he was very displeased. "Sorry to barge in. I thought I heard voices when I walked in." He said.Leonard knowing that all he said was a complete lie, decided that he would not allow him to go without showing on the screen. "I have a meeting right now, but my brother is here to answer all your questions." He said.Antonio was angry at the way he was acting as if he was doing him a favor by allowing him to be here. "I don't..." he said but his sister placed a hand on her chest signaling him to be calm which annoyed him greatly.It was as if since Leonard arrived his sister had lost her sense of reasoning. Ha wasn't still over the stupid stunt he tri
Sophie stormed out of the office angrily, slamming the door shut behind her as she cursed underneath her breath and utters words unintelligible to anyone listening to her, the thoughts going through her mind caused her blood to begin to boil and her eyebrows furrowed. Antonio opens up the door and runs after her, telling her to wait and to be calm. "Why the freaking hell are you following me? " Sophie shouted out to him angrily when she realized it and walked even faster after taking a glance at him, but he didn't stop and also rushed after her then stretched out his hand to hold hers. But she angrily snatched her hand out of his grip and turned around with an expression filled with righteous fury. "Come on Sophie please remain calm, " Antonio pleaded with her as he looked up at the people passing by and watching them, "I know that you are angry but this isn't something to discuss in this manner...""Crap, " Sophie replied in the same angry tone of voice and her fists clenched tig
Not long After Kelvin had stepped out of the house, Sophie who was still extremely annoyed and fuming greatly stepped into her car and began to drive to the hospital to see her daughter Ava where she was admitted. And when she got to the ward room that her daughter was in, she forced herself to put on a bright smiling face and to change her demeanor, after all just because she had been having a bad day did not mean that everyone else had to experience the very same thing, and especially not her daughter. She exhaled lightly when she was certain that her expression bore no trace of what was actually going through her mind and then she pushed the door open gently. Ava was awake already at this time and looked like she was a whole lot better, by Ava's side was Emma watching her quietly. As she laid her eyes on Emma it could be seen on her face how much her expression quickly changed into one laced with jealousy, and the anger she had hidden under seemed to be fighting to come out to
Leonard got to the hospital late at night, but even the night shift seemed a lot busier than he had anticipated. I found his way through the crowd of people and got to the hallway that led to his daughter’s private ward.‘God, I hate hospitals,’ he thought to himself and creased his nose before heading into her ward. It was already past eleven at night, and he wasn’t expecting a child to be up, but Ava was not your average child, he knew that there was every possibility that she had tried to stay awake, waiting for him, but when he opened the door as gently as possible, he was surprised to see her cuddling her teddy bear, deep in sleep. Leonard smiled and walked into the hospital ward and dropped his bag, loosened his tie and sat down in the chair close to the door. There was another chair in the ward, next to the bed, but Emma was seated in it, with one of Ava’s story books in her hands as she slept.‘Even Emma is more of a mother to our own daughter than you Sophie,’ he thought to
Leonard and Emma stepped out of the vehicle at almost exactly the same time, both of them feeling equally exhausted from the journey and from the trip in general, the business trip was no small matter and it lasted three work days with the two of them being extremely busy for a larger portion of the days. The ride back had been a very strange and awkward one, not to mention as the two of them had different thoughts weighing down on their minds which highly prevented them from speaking and caused a great wave of awkwardness. Leonard was busy with thoughts about the company and about the deal he had made on the business trip, as well as thoughts about what to do concerning the sisters Emma and Sophie. He knew very well without the help of a fortune teller or a soothsayer that Sophie, his potential ex wife was not very pleased with the fact that he had taken her sister Emma on the trip instead of her, which was something that he considered highly illogical putting into consideration t
Estelle walks into Leonard's office with a rather gloomy expression on her face, written clearly as the result of the meeting they had before along with the follow up email. Leonard who was not entirely sure about what had happened and had not yet received the message was rather lost though and looked at her before he inquired, "what is it? ""You remember that contract that we hoped to secure the other day? " Estelle asked him and Leonard at once took a pause from what he was doing on his laptop and turned his attention to her unrivalled. "Which contract do you mean Estelle, what are you referring to? " Leonard asked solemnly, his expression saying everything that one needed to know about his state of mind at that moment, while he had made himself to stop thinking about Sophie and the little run in that he and Emma had with her not too long before, it did not stop him from feeling hurt and it did not rid him of the exhaustion that he already had most of the time in his back and in
