Asher walked out of his office, his footsteps screamed anger. He walked to Natasha’s desk and slammed the file in his hand on the desk, yelling. “How dare you?!” “What’s this?” He asked, pointing to the file on the desk. Natasha quickly stood up on her feet, fixing her eyes on the floor. Her body shook and her voice stammered in a squirm of fear. “S-ir-” Asher didn’t give her space to say a word.

Are you bound with mistakes that you can’t compile a file without making one?” “I am sorry, sir,” Natasha apologized, bowing her head, slightly. She raised her head, and a tear dropped off her face.

A shocked tone escaped Asher's mouth as he turned to President Mason. "Why are you listening from outside? Are they fighting inside?" President Mason interrogated. "No, they aren't fighting," Asher answered, smiling. He rubbed his shoulder, trying to come up with an excuse, but none came to his mind at the moment. "Actually…" "Let's go in for the meeting." President ordered, pointing to the conference room door. Asher smiled. "Sir, we have ended the meeting already. We concluded." He announced. "What?" President Mason was surprised.

She rested her head on the chair headrest and closed her eyes, her hands across her chest. “I’m tired…” she sighed, confessing to no one’s present. Lost in thought of the past, a little cute smile displayed on her face, remembering how she lived happily with her family before she traveled to Spain. Getting to the middle of the memory, the smile faded away in a second, and recollecting Ivory’s condition when she arrived in America and everything that happened after then till the present ones, tears rushed out of her eyes and rolled down to her cheeks before some followed her face line to her mouth while others landed on her laps. “Layla!” “Layla!” “Layla!” Layla heard Ivory's thunderous fear and pain tone calling her name continuously.

And after Ivory died, Layla drowned. “Dear Layla, we are sorry. Maximo Investment can’t accept your submission despite your good qualifications. Try again next year.
