“You can confide in me, Nadia. Whatever you are going through, you have me here to fight it out with you." -Ethan reassured her again for the second time.“Uncle Ethan I'm not going through a lot. In fact, no one came into the house. I went to the basement by myself when I was looking for you." She said to him:"Looking for me? Why were you looking for me? I thought I wrote a letter for you and dropped it on the bed." -he responded.“Yes! You wrote a letter, and I read it before I came down stairs, but I thought it was one of your sick games you enjoyed doing anytime you want to play hide and seek games with me, she said to him.“No! Why would I want to play hide-and-seek games with you as early as that? It’s not my thing, and I wouldn't jeopardise your health because of that. I clearly wrote it in the letter that I won't be around, and you should stay safe while I rush back home to you.""But I was scared. How do you expect only me to stay in this mansion and not be terrified?" She said
“Are you sure about that name?” He asked her with a low voice because he was standing at the entrance of the board room.“Yes! Sir, I’m sure about the research I conducted before I discovered that he was the one that entered that room.” She reassured him with her words.“Hmmm…. That’s fine. Thank you for the information.” He answered while adjusting his suit a bit before making an attempt to enter the boardroom.“Hold on a second!” Stella exclaimed“Sir, Is there a problem? If you don’t want to have the meeting with Mr. Marco, I can help you cut it off and come up with an excuse to give them.”“No! Everything is fine. Thank you for everything, Stella. If there is no further information, I'd rather just go in there and anchor the meeting rather than stand out here and keep them idle.” -“Sure! You can go in there and anchor it the best way possible.” She said this to him with a big smile on her face.He smiled back at her and entered the boardroom. As he got in there, he was surprised to see
“Nothing is wrong. I guess you are the one making dirty assumptions in your head and not thinking about the positive side.” He blurted it out as he moved away from Austin.“I’m not a kid anymore, Marco. There is something that you are holding back, and I know that you are hiding something from me with the way you are behaving. This is unlike you. What exactly is going on? Why this sudden attitude and character all of a sudden?” He questioned me while I was walking in his direction."Please don’t piss me off. Since we are done with the meeting for today, why don’t you just grab your bag and let’s go back to our office? You can as well stay back if you feel like maybe he’ll end up employing you.” He stumbled out of the office, closing the door in full force.“What exactly is wrong with Marco? Should I call this hate or just pure anger?” Austin questioned himself before following him out of the meeting room.Meanwhile, Marco had a strong face while walking out of the Greyport company. Some
Ethan entered his office and stumbled on his chair, processing everything that happened in the boardroom. He wasn’t happy that Marco would come up with the greedy idea of sharing the percentage in a 50-50 deal.“What has gotten into that boy’s head? Does he think that I am still that low-life Ethan’s boy that has been controlled by Bella? Oh! Poor Marco! I know you never believed that I would be the one behind the number one leading company in the city.” He thought to himself.“I think I need to come up with another plan that’s better than this one. I really need something that can bring me and Marco closer so that I’ll be able to attack him when he thinks I mean no harm to him," he muttered to himself, sketching something on the drawing pad.Ring!Ring!His phone rang and brought his attention back to reality. He picked his phone down on the desk and turned it to see who was calling him. His screen graced his eyes with Nadia’s name popping in. Immediately, his heart raced as he thought so
“Hey! Hey! Slow down and stop handling me like this. I don't even care about you anymore. You can go ahead and do whatever you want to do with your life and your company. It's none of my business, and that's final. Can you please leave my collar alone?" Austin responded to him while struggling to release himself from his grip.“Fine!" he scoffed, reteaching back to his seat to reflect on all that had happened today.“I'll be at my office in case you need my help on anything.” He dashed out of Marco's office.“Phew! Finally, I can have a fresh breath of life and not some loopholes loitering around to monitor my next moves.” Marco spoke to himself as he watched Austin shut the door behind him.He grabbed the magazine that was on his table to check the track records of his company and other companies, and he found out that Ethan's company is still ranking at number one and his own company drops to number 12.“Could it be that Ethan is responsible for how companies are graded, knowing fully w
“I'd rather allow it to pass than raise the topic all over again." Austin responded as he grabbed the magazine he brought earlier with him and stood up from the seat.“Gosh! This is what I hate so much, and you know that I hate things like this. Why did you give me a tip about what you have in mind, knowing fully well that you won't spill it out? Why? ”“I'm so sorry about that, sir. I didn't even think about what I thought before it came out of my mouth. It was not intentional, sir."He clapped his hands together while laughing in a sarcastic tone. "I see. Indeed, it wasn't intentional at all. I can see that you have a whole lot of family issues on your head, and that made you not think before you talk."Austin kept standing at the front desk of Marco's office with his head bent down, patiently waiting for Marco to tell him to get out.“It's actually pointless talking to you, Austin. Since you came into this office, I haven't been able to pick one significant thing that you've said. You k
“Use your head for once, Mara. Do I really have to be the one to tell you everything? Can't you think of an excuse to make that'll be suitable for me? Gosh! ” He spoke to me with a fierce voice, not minding how his words were piercing through my heart.“I'm so sorry about that, sir. I'll think of something meaningful to say." She assured him as she took a step backwards from him.“You better be sorry for yourself and not for me. "Are there any questions left to be asked before I step out?" He asked her while he adjusted his suit properly.“There is nothing left to be asked, sir. If at all I need clarity on anything while you are away, I'll definitely hit you up in your DM." She responded to him calmly with her sweet, melancholic voice.“Whatever! If that's the case, then I'll see you tomorrow."Marco hissed and stepped out of his company, walking straight up to his car. He hopped into his car and started it, but before he could move the car, he saw a car that looked just like Bella had pas
“Yes! You pronounced the name correctly. Mr. Ethan is the CEO of Greyport, and he is my boss.” Naomi answered her.Bella burst out with uncontrollable laughter the moment she heard everything that Naomi said to her. She laughed so hard that she almost found herself on the floor, but Naomi held her hands and stopped her from falling.Naomi was confused about what was going on right in front of her from the way Bella laughed.“Are you sure about what you just said? Are you sure that's your boss or that you're mistaken for someone else?" Bella questioned her once again."Ma'am, I don't know who you are, but this is the last time I'll tell you that Mr. Ethan is the man who just walked out of that entrance door, and yes, he is my boss. Is there a problem with that?" Naomi gave her a straight look, waiting for her to say something.“Not at all, dear. It’s fine, and I'm deeply sorry for the way I reacted and the way I behaved. Thank you for the information, Naomi."“You're welcome, ma'am. Isn't i
