Orion settled into his seat, placing his hands on the table, clasping it just beneath his jaw before scanning the faces of each and every one of the board members. “SoI believe you all know why I called you,” his baritone voice echoed in the four corners of the room, making all eyes glue on him. “If you don't, there's no need to worry since a circular will be shared now.” Nessa's expression twisted into something that screamed ‘confusion’ and she stepped forward, bending behind Orion.“I'm not with anything sir,” she whispered, lines appearing on her forehead. His gaze narrowed in that moment as he heard those words, turning towards Nessa before he finally rose to his feet, facing the members with a frown.“Give me ten minutes please,” he muttered, gazing at his wristwatch for a second. “I need to do something.” Although some of them were dissatisfied with it, in the end, they knew they just had to accept it since it was the first time something like that was happening.“Fine, we'
Calvin sat on the couch that was some meters away from the bed, clasping both hands together as he bent his head low, facing the ground with different thoughts running through his mind. None of which he said; he just remained there, sitting on that spot since he walked into the room.“We are done sir,” it was Betty, standing at Amanda's side with a tray that contained a syringe and other medical equipment. “But she'll fall asleep in the next twenty to thirty minutes sir.” “Is she strong enough to have this conversation?” Calvin asked, rising to his full height, something that had always made his presence known, along with his cologne. “I mean, will she be able to keep the conversation going for those minutes?” “I'm not sure, but it's highly unlikely,’’ Amanda stated from behind, taking a step forward. “But it's certain that she'd be able to speak for ten minutes.” “The problem we're having these days is that she loses more energy as time goes on,” Amanda added, her gaze darting be
Elysia had always been the type to announce something to her children at the same time, since she had read more about partiality, and as kids their thought will be different from hers. She cleared her throat in the dining room, focusing on the children as they raised their head to meet her gaze. “What did I tell you guys about bringing phones to the dining room?” She asked, arching an eyebrow that made Armin drop the phone on the table at the speed of lightning. Although Alina was still with hers, but not long after Armin dropped his, she did the same to hers. “Thought I asked you guys a question?” She demanded, tilting her head after noticing the slight opening in Armin's lips. “That we should not bring it here again?” He replied, unsure, but this time, his eyes were not fixed on Elysia, it was on something else which was the phone, and grunting sounds could be heard from it. “What’s that?” Elysia's face contorted in confusion, and she was forced to rise to her feet, closing th
Orion's hands were still placed on the iron bridge as he pressed his lips into a thoughtful line, watching the waters from the top. “Are you sure about it?” Elijah pressed, his voice tinged with concern. “You are really going to speak to Jordan about it?” “My mind has been made up already Elijah,” Orion clarified, drumming with his index on the iron. “There's nothing else that can be done.” “Besides, it's not like it's illegal or something,” he added with a face lined with seriousness; he did not even spare Elijah a glance, not even once. The latter sighed, turning away from Orion for the first time. “But you know fully well that it's someone's life, don't you?” “It was our lives in the past okay, and I just want to do some findings, that's all, it's not a big deal or something so what the fuck is wrong with me doing that?!” He barked, rising back to his full height and he brought out his phone from his pocket, searching for a contact almost immediately, but after a while, he pau
“You want a bottle?” Elijah asked from a distance, other people following his gaze as it landed on Orion who waved in a refusing way, and the former pressed his lips, turning to the other person, following a shrug. “Tequila?” He arched an eyebrow, only to drop back the bottle after the lad shook his head. “Vodka vodka,” he repeated, the frustration pretty evident on his face, but Elijah ignored it, pouring the content into two glasses as requested, and he passed it to the lad who walked up to where Orion was sitting. “It's occupied,” Orion announced, his gaze still fixed on the table. “By who?” The guy who seemed to be in his early twenties asked, his face contorting in disgust. “You’ve got a spiritual wife or something, innit?” He chuckled wryly after that, pushing back the chair to sit down, but Orion pushed the table back, closing the gap between the table and the chair. “That was a very nice joke, I'll give you that,” Orion muttered under his breath with a face lined with se
“Mr. Hemsworth,’’ one of the guards there recognized, bowing slightly at Calvin's side, and the latter placed a hand on his shoulder before walking past him. Calvin scanned the house for a while, before taking it all in with an inhale; the weather was friendly so far. “Let's get over with this,” he whispered under his breath, placing the other hand in his pocket as he made his way into the building, meeting a nurse, along with a security guard at the front. “You are here sir,” the nurse said, her gaze darting between the the marbled floor and Calvin, whose gaze was fixed on her… at least, before it went to the guard who greeted too. “Are you Amanda?” He aksed, his baritone voice, a witness to the aura radiating around him— intimidating. “The one I spoke to over the phone to be precise.” The nurse shook her head, her hands firmly clasped at her front. “No sir, Amanda just relayed the information to me, and at the moment she's currently busy in the room.” “I'm Ruth.” “A new worke
