Darius burst out laughing...

He had been watching the whole scene play out from another room. His attention was fixed particularly on Philip. He had carefully noted his actions and responses to everything.

Darius didn't actually expect that Philip would sign the document immediately. Before the meeting, Alicia had given him some tips about Philip. She had met his kind of person before and a big idea of how he was going to act.

Darius and Alicia had planned how everything would play out. Darius had not been sure it would go according to plan but when he saw the result of everything, he was astonished himself. "She's really smart." Darius whispered to himself.

When he was preparing the documents, Alicia had told him to not bother about trying to manipulate Philip. She told Darius to state the conditions in a straightforward manner because she was confident that Philip wouldn't go through it. Not after the long 'speech' by Maxwell.

    "What the hell do you mean by saying that you can't do anything about it?" Philip asked, very enraged."I don't have the rights or power to do such things in this place Philip. I'm just the secretary for the CEO, nothing more." Carla explained.Carla was actually saying the truth about the current situation. She had only become the secretary by pure choice of the CEO. By that, she wasn't given the position because of how long she had worked there so she wasn't able to do things like other executives like Maxwell could do. And she couldn't just walk up to Maxwell and demand that Philip be allowed into the company. She had no right to demand such a thing.Philip flared up in anger. "How could you say such a thing Carla despite everything I've done for you? Can't you even make sacrifices and take risks for me?His anger was soaring through the roof.

    'Um... Where am I?'Robert slowly opened his eyes and saw the blurry image of white lights. He was lying face up on... A bed?His vision cleared and then he saw the white lights on the ceiling clearly. He blinked in confusion and turned his head to the side of the bed he was laying and saw the standard things that were usually found in an hospital ward beside the beds. It was a white painted cabinet that just stood plainly.'I'm in the hospital... How did I get here?' Robert thought. He looked on the top of the cabinet and saw a white paper neatly folded. It looked very familiar. He had seen it somewhere before...Immediately he had a jolt of realization and sat up straight in less than a second with horror written on his face and wide opened eyes."Noooo...!" He screamed till air inside his lungs got exhausted and about fifteen seconds later a young nurse came running inside the ward."Are you alright sir?"

    "I did as you ordered and the company is completely bankrupt." Maxwell said. Adjusting his glasses as he gave a report to Darius.Darius quietly nodded his head as he twirled his chair around. He didn't actually need the report that Maxwell was giving as he had seen the footage at the company from his own office."Good job." Darius replied Maxwell. "I already know some of the things that happened over there from here. Now we just need to wait for everything else to unfold." Darius said with a grin.When Darius bought that company and transferred the ownership to Robert, he put some people in the company. It was these people that made everyone who was in the company to lack their stuff and leave.
