"Mr Stark, I'm sorry for such an unabashed visit." She said as she paced in.Joshua nodded at Priscilla, she clicked her tongue a moment together which she gladly did but with little hesitation as curiosity was plastered all over her face."I thought you might want to see them." She flung the file in her hand and Joshua groaned as he gazed down.He collected it from her hand and held onto it giving it a hard look, the fact that he couldn't believe what he'd just heard made him desperate to glance through. Scooping it to his face his hand rubbed the inside paper and pulled it out, slowly he traced the seat."You can sit down not that it is public yet, there is no call for alarm." There was a cringe in his voice, the one that shows he smelt and sensed the effect of the tension in the air."I got to find out not too late, this justifies everything. It may seem like a ploy to you but Mr Hudson knows his beans." Joshua shot up at her. "That technically. . . you're inferring that he got us

The SUV car was later seen packed outside near the patio of a well-decorated house, instead of flowers, dark boulders covered it. The owner of the car tapped the steering continuously and hit his forehead, his heart and mind contrasting. He raised his head and ran his hand through his dark hair gnashing his teeth, it was Joshua.If it were left to him he would have a red rationally, but the fact that he had looked upon Mr Hudson through the night and found nothing on the man, made him face the one assumption that Mr Hudson was hiding something that he didn't want anyone, especially him to figure out aside from his identity as a Stark.Joshua's phone vibrated and he put the car speaker on as Aunt Miriam voiced. "Joshua I'm so sorry I didn't know about the Suleiman's. I should be held responsible."Joshua forced a calm. voice. "This can wait until I arrive home. Joshua's hand went for the end button."But can we meet later in the day at the small restaurant near the Cape?"There was a s

The ginger feeling inside the pit of his mouth made Derek cringe. He couldn't believe what unfolded before his eyes, he thought he had seen a ghost."Mother." He muttered, his chest rising and falling.He squared himself to the side and looked for something to give him comfort.Aunt Miriam grabbed herself the cushion and relaxed herself into it, her hand on her knees with a glare that spoke more than her word."Didn't you hear me or do you want me to force you into the seat, Derek." She inquired.Derek's legs having an instinct of their own dragged themselves towards the woman sited right across from him. Her unbothered attitude made him flinch and then scowled."Not until you explain what you're doing here at these odd hours." He stated firmly.Aunt Miriam glanced at Mr Hudson, a look that somehow contemplated on who to give the gist of the situation to Derek."Well Derek, your mother here has been funding this group. With you, on our side, I could only imagine the length of our vict

Derek perked up, his mother hidden like a baby in a cradle scared of a new teddy, she glared up from behind."Who is that? Why are you trying to scare the crap out of us?" She calculated the word out of her mouth. She thought it was Becca but the figure didn't look anything feminine and she had at least stopped at whooping all this stunt only on her sister, Priscilla."The ones you call family are holding grudges against you, this is a bad sign that our relationship has failed," Joshua said as he walked inside.As if bathed in a bath of water, and still hot like Aunt Miriam had made a grand gesture folding her hand to her chest. She sighed deeply."You are unbearable, how would you do something reckless like that? Come have a seat." She made the request slightly hesitating.Joshua raised his right brow with a hard look on his face. Derek looked away shame all over him like a chameleon he glinted at the seat.Joshua was still at another intersection of accepting this attitude. The s

Miss Laura was seen early in the morning in the office. Joshua was able to catch sleep after all he was used to that kind of treatment. He dragged himself out of the chair and forced the tip of his finger to flip through the paper. Like a drugged-up besotted fool, his palm beat his forehead. Joshua then pulled his project out of the several others. He stared at it and his door banged from the knock. Miss Laura stepped inside, and Joshua gestured for her to have a seat. Miss Laura was so quick to catch a glance at the file that was resting on the table, her eyes glinted around and found that the place had been in the same old rack shape as before the chair moaned while dragging it out. "I thought you said you would take today off since you have more pressing matters to settle out on." Joshua chewing on the pen in his mouth dropped it and cleared his throat. "I saw how tight the schedule is and it would be stupid of me to not censor certain things before rushing over

"Wow, I can't believe they're actually fighting each other. Things are about to get messy." One of the shareholder's hands slowly moved up to curl at Derek's shirt telling him not to back off. Derek's hand balled into a fist and staring increasingly difficult at Joshua, he broke the look and his orbs flew looking down and his hand tapped the man's hand away. Everyone was not in support of the tension, this could result in scandal and the Stark will be skinning the trend for internal conflict for days on the paper. Miss Laura cleared her throat to interrupt. A hand flew across her sight and Joshua warned her, she stepped away. "Tell me something Derek, are you opposing me and shunning my idea in public." He heaved a heavy sigh. "Come on." He demanded forcefully. "Say it so that everyone here will hear." "Mr Stark, this is not necessary. What Derek is saying in short is that it's completely unstable for the company to expand." The brown-haired shareholder interrupted

Mr Suleiman kept his word short and the fact that it was clipped censured a lot of expectations that were in the gaze that stared at him. "Oh! I now see, but Mr Stark Isn't it obvious that your friend here isn't as shady as you?" Joshua kept his tongue clipped as much as he could to the wall of his mouth and didn't dare to smoke but he bit down on his teeth and his chiselled jawline became more predominantly outward. "Well. Tell them, Mr Stark. We entered the contract because you want to invest in our small sugarcane company even when we couldn't meet up with other brands. I told him the project will fail yet the man went on with it." Mr Sulieman scowled. "Stubborn businessman." Joshua's brow flew, Derek quickly looked to his side and gulped the sudden lump in his throat. "What are you saying?" Derek asked in a low sultry voice. The council became quiet and those pointing fingers at Joshua instantly kept their mouth; others were doing the gesture of hitting

Aunt Miriam looked into Derek's eyes and her hand scrambled the paper on the table beside him. "That is not acceptable! I can't believe you actually gave in to him." She hit her leg on the floor furiously. "You are so stupid!" Derek was too far annoyed and she gave him a hard stare at his silence, taking advantage of the situation. Aunt Miriam stood thickly on her legs, her hand doing the favour of going against her. "No. This is not the end, I won't let it." Starting at the light that was reflecting from the inner room Aunt Miriam's hand ran through her scuff and to her hair in a meditative way. "I will make sure we get the company, not using Mr Hudson to get to him." Derek chewed on the meat stopper chewing like the click had given against him and he threw a glare upward shooting her a questioning look. "Don't stare at me like a fool." She soars him Derek looked away but his gaze managed to fly to the files in her mother's hand. "What is it that I wil
