“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

    “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

    “Don’t you think Mr. Belmont has been coming earlier nowadays?” One of the workers whispered to the others, they were four in number.“Yes, I also observed it, ever since he started living with the new woman,” the second man said with a snort that made the rest look at him in disgust.As they said, in every circle, every company, and every sector, there was always a group.It felt inevitable; something people grew so accustomed to that it came to seem perfectly normal.“He's not as soft as he used to be,” it was another one this time, and their gazes were all glued to him as Nessa, his assistant, as she followed him from behind, along with some files held close to her chest.They all nodded in unison, pretending to be busy; yet, as the saying goes, they were unknowingly busy doing nothing.“Ever since Mrs. Alderidge stopped coming here that's when he started to change,” it was the only female amongst them this time, and she packed her hair into a bun, buttoning up her grey coloured su

    “You are here already,” Damon recognized, scanning Elysia from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet, a smile widening his lips.She raised an eyebrow, nodding. “If there is anything that has brought me this far, you know what it is, don't you?”It was obvious, even someone who had just spent six months or even less would know what it was, so Damon just smirked, leaning on the doorframe.Talking about punctuality even in her own home? That was wild.“By the way, I apologize for dropping by at such an ungodly hour,” he murmured, his eyes falling to the sleek Richard Mille on his wrist– a testament to his wealth.Truly, it was quite late. “Why will I be annoyed when I could have told you whatever you want to tell me can wait till the following day?” the words escaped her lips, quiet and unhurried.“So go on,” she exhaled, stepping outside finally. “What is it that you want to tell me that could not be said over the phone?”For a moment, Damon simply watched her in silence, wait

    “Do you think he still loves you?” A female’s voice was heard in the five star restaurant and a sigh followed almost immediately.Seraphina pressed her lips, taking a sip from her cup, probably her fourth shot since she walked into the restaurant with her friends.“Sometimes, it feels like he does,” she answered, pouring herself a drink and she stirred it slowly, her eyes fixed in it. “And other times, he just acts cold and later on, he apologizes.”“Are you gonna tell her about what you did to your husband, Charlotte?” A jet black haired lady asked in a teasing tone, pointing towards Seraphina whose curiosity piqued immediately she heard that, and she leaned in.“What's that?” Seraphina demanded, leaning in.Charlotte smirked as she let the glass cup slip from her fingers, dropping gently on the luxurious table that was decorated with a flower vase.“You know,” she began, brushing her hair back with a casual flick, “there’s a saying that goes like this: do what makes you happy.” She
