Although it contrasted with her personality, Angel Rhoades rose to her feet and slammed her fist against the table, and in an instant, she became the center of attention.

Elysia just sat there, eyes locked on hers, with her arms folded above her chest; she didn’t bat an eyelid, neither did she flinch.

“I dare you to say that again,” she snapped, moving closer to Elysia, who didn’t seem to be fazed.

She stood close to Elysia, who was arranging her table, paying no attention to her.

“I don’t know if you’re not busy, but as you can see, I’m currently busy,” she said, gesturing towards the books on her table.

Angel scoffed, but just as she raised her hand to hit her, a voice made her stop.

“Go back to your seat, Mrs. Rhoades,” came a baritone voice that commanded authority. “You shouldn’t be causing such a scene like this.”

She turned to him, but he didn’t spare her a glance, it was then it occurred to her that he had been looking at the computer all along.

Without being told, she knew sh

    For a moment, there was no word between the three of them, just eye contact.Elysia looked back and forth, and even when they said nothing, she understood the silence.She was smart enough to know what was going on anyway; she called Alicia's name but the latter gave no response, just stood there, eyes fixed intently on her.But after what proved to be an eternity, she took it off Elysia and transferred it to Calvin who looked at her all along.Alicia finally tightened her fist, heaving a sigh. “Uhm… I came to tell you that leaders of all departments are expected to be in the meeting room,” she diverted her gaze to her wristwatch, taking it back to Calvin. “Five minutes from now.”“You know the consequence of coming late, even though it's a minute, so I don't think I need to tell you,” she added, waving her hand and the clicking sound of her heels faded slowly as she walked away from their line of sight.Without waiting, Elysia made a sharp turn to Calvin who was about to take his

    “This is where you want to talk?” Elysia asked, pausing mid-step as the breeze brushed against her shoulder, making her rub it for warmth.The wind made her squint every now and then, but Calvin seemed less troubled. He simply leaned back against the wall, hands buried in his pockets, watching her in silence.“So Alicia told me about what you said,” he started, tapping his foot on the floor. “What was it again?” “Uhm, you were feeling guilty for my lateness the other day, or something, am I correct?”A nod was all he needed and she did that already. “Yes it's true.” “I was about to come to you to apologize at the restaurant but someone called your attention before I did,” she added, her words catching slightly as if the guilt was still lingering in her, somewhere.“Oh, about that,” he ran his hand through his hair. “I was also busy that day so I could not see anyone.” Elysia took a step back, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. “Do you remember who wanted to see you

    “The name’s Damon Garrison,” he corrected the receptionist of the hotel as he gave her his card.She nodded. “I'm sorry sir,” in a tone that could be compared to a whisper, she muttered.“Uhm... how many months sir?” She demanded, heaving a sigh.“Four months, VIP room,” he answered, pushing his luggage closer to him. “Meals included, so tell me, what will be the total cost?”The woman pulled out a calculator, pressing some numbers out and when she was done, she pushed it aside, raising her head to meet his gaze.“If it's in dollars it's thirty thousand sir,” she answered, sliding his card closer to herself. “Should I make the transaction?”Damon nodded, motioning his hand towards her. “Yes please, go on.”“Here for the training at Bumrungrad International hospital?” The woman inquired in a respectful tone.Damon shifted his weight, staring at the woman for some seconds, till she gave him the card with a smile.“Done sir, you've successfully booked a VIP room, it's room 294.” She smil

    “What brought you here today, son?” Elysia's grandmother whispered to Orion who dropped a bag close to where she was seated.Orion sat back, rested his head on the chair with a sigh of relaxation, but it was only for a moment since he leaned in, locked his eyes on the old woman's.“Felt like it's been a while since I last visited,” he answered, tossing his phone on the chair, though it was close to him. “Can't even remember the last time.”“Where's the lie in it?” She smiled, giving a dismissive wave to one of the nurses that approached her.“You can come back later,” she muttered under a breath, clearing her throat. “Tell the rest too, I'll inform you when I need you guys.”With a slight bow to both Orion and the woman, the maid left the sitting room.“Tried calling her but it's still not reachable,” that word alone from Elysia’s grandmother was enough to dull the atmosphere, and it did just that. “Since she disappeared three years ago, I've not heard from my baby girl.”Orion's face

    As Elysia worked, she could not help but keep looking at Calvin at intervals, his reaction, his cold gaze, his low but sharp edged tone back there, at the restaurant; just like he could feel her eyes boring into him, he rose to his feet, leaving the office. “Mrs. Alderidge,” she heard her name from a close range, and she turned away from the computer, turning to the person close to her, it was Emily. She walked up to Elysia who still looked confused, not until she dropped some files on her table. “Here,” she muttered under her breath, transferring her hands to her waist. “This is for you.” Elysia took a quick glance at the heap of files placed close to her before diverting it to Emily who was still standing there. Of course, she knew there would be questions, considering the amount of files placed on the table. “What am I supposed to do with this?” Elysia demanded, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “Besides, who ordered me to do this?” Emily shifted her weight, exhaling

    “Found any company that can rival them?” Orion asked Nessa who finally dropped the tab on the table after minutes of staring at it.She leaned in, adjusting her blouse.Orion had ordered her to come with him to his office and she did just that.Gradually, confusion crept in and replaced the neutral expression that was once on her face, prompting her to throw a question that every one would have also done.“What do you mean by that sir?”“You've been staring at that,” he pointed towards the tab on the table with an arched eyebrow, returning his gaze to her. “I saw what you were doing, and I figured it might be plausible.”Nessa’s lips parted slightly, and she gave a slow nod. “Oh, about that,” she paused, reaching for the tablet on the table. “Before he even brought up the price, I was just looking into construction companies known for having the lowest rate of structural failures.”“And?” Orion asked bluntly, tilting his head slightly.She pressed her lips pushing the tablet over to h
