Everything went so fast until I noticed some guards that I was unfamiliar with. I bet they were Marcus'. I got nervous by the fact that they cornered us yet our guards were outside and probably had no any idea that we were trapped here.
But, Neil, who's now stranding so brave, just walked using his casual steps as though as he's just in a meeting facing all the board members. One of Marcus' guards, looked at me for a long moment. He might notice that I assembled his boss' face.
Salvena, as what I knew from the start, was our relative, though I was trembling everytime I was around them. The fact that they loathed us for being their biggest competitor, was also enough for me not to trust their actions.
"You should walk off, Marcus, or else I'll call our securities!" I tried to warn him, but he just threw a smirk and sat in my swivel chair. His eyes were roaming around the place, and he's making a sound by tapping his free finger in the top of my desk.
"Why
The cafeteria I expected to be full since it's break time was consumed by one customer only, and that's Neil, who's now making a sit in his VIP chair. Many waitresses ran towards him, giggling. But Neil's strange reaction caught my attention. Wearing my normal smile, I walked closer to him."Are you okay, Sir?" I asked, and a waitress asked my order, but since I was focused on Neil's impending response, she just stood near me and waited for my order. "Did Marcus tell you something earlier?"My hand was shaking and there was already a lump in my throat that kept blocking my airway. No, this couldn't be. The deal between me and my cousin had not ended yet, which meant I still had time to finish my task. Though Neil's current reaction made me think negatively. His eyes were so dark and they almost screamed for bullets. No wonder why some employees never dared to greet him because it was obvious he's having a hard time.When mom was still here, Neil was not like thi
"We had an agreement, right? So why did you tell Neil about that German?"I was now facing Marcus, the bastard, feeling so faltered knowing all my plans were all worthless. All the times that I tried my best to calm down seemed like a garbage in a trash."I told you, cousin. I don't like to wait. What I mean in giving you a chance to do what I want you to accomplish is to do it within a day but you seem to forget our deal."You really are unclear. Of course, preventing that important negotiation will take a very long time to accomplish. How can I make Neil to do me a favor to me if he cannot even remember me?"Well, what can I do now? I already told him about this USB?" He raised something in the air, and I balled my fist in irritation. In too much emotion, tears were already pooling in every corner of my eyes. Some customers loooked at my direction, and a kind kid also managed to hand a handkerchief
"I am just stating my knowledge," he answered with full of authority. He went back to his own table and fixed something in his laptop. No one of us dared to bother him, even Daniel looked uncertain to make a single move."I want to talk with Daniel alone. I am now off and --" I excused but being cut of by his sudden stare. His orbs full of tensions. His jaw and throat worked as if he could kill if I talked for more. "Fine, Sir. Sorry for interrupting your working hours."He smiled and acknowledged me by nodding his head without glimpsing at me. Daniel, whose breathing was audible, just got one doughnut and sometimes threw smiles for me. We waited for our boss to call us first before making a move. I wasn't sure what made him busy in his laptop but I had this feeling he was fixing my problem. I thought I was going to meet his secretary now but I met no one. He's a businessman, an extraordinary one, and so having a Secretary was a must for him.Me, being his Perso
Salvenas group came earlier to personally communicate with Neil. I wasn't inside the office where they talked but I had this feeling that their topic was all about that tape. I was shaking while waiting in the receptionist area. Many greeted by I didn't mind all their heartwarming greatings.Sandoval securities scattered all around this building, and few employees already noticed the fact that there was a fight happening.Also, Salevans guards were spread all over this floor. I couldn't determine each of them since they seemed disguising again. All I wanted to know was the possible happening inside our floor. Neil was alone there again -- I even forced him to bring Daniel but he disagreed by my suggestion. Mom, who's now wearing an undescribable expression, ran towards me. She was breathing up and down like me. She almost lost her balance but good thing I immediately held her arms to support her weight."The Salvenas are here again?" I was taken off guard by the
Neil didn't see how my lips parted because he already marched away from me. I was left open-mouthed by the words he had said. My heart throbbed for a moment, and I temporarily forgot I was in my working hours yet here I was being so dramatic again. Before my eyes could produce some tears, I busied myself in checking Neil's schedule.He sent a message to me about the location where he was now. My brows palpitated seeing the word 'bar' in his second message. I wanted to ask him why he was in there, but when Felicia, who's now wearing her usual captivating smile, blocked my vision, I put my phone inside my pocket to entertain her."Hey, Felicia. Do you want to meet Neil?" I asked her. Neil must be the reason why she was here again. "Actually, he's not here. But I can send his current location now if your intention really is urgent." I flashed my smile."I am not here for him. I just came here so that I can tell you somethin
Loving Sydney was a great torture to me. I had been forcing myself to at least forget her but I could not and I should not. I should not because she's my life. I could not imagine life without her. I knew that the love I felt towards her was forbidden, not to mention that I was the only one who was trying so hard, but I couldn't really stop myself from falling again and again.Her name was Sydney Klein, the only one girl I was in love with. We were already friends ever since we were highschool students. I thought before that we would end up being together because I was the only one in her life but life really is unpredictable. Without my consent, she loved someone she met named Neil."I told to you forget her but you are so stubborn," my father said and poured a drink in my glass. I devoured the content, and bitterness flowed down through my veins. My muscles contracted and I felt nothing but pity of myself for being like this, for crying like an idiot human like this.
"I'll pay you... Just tell me her full identity," I said to her manager. I even did not know her name! I made love with the woman who's still hiding her real identity from everyone! She might have trust issues that's why I tried to understand her. But days had passed but we were still like playing game while I did know my playmate's name. It might have a story behind her back that's why she's hiding. Fuck this. Should I really continue this fucking game of mine despite the fact that I had a wife?"No matter how I would like to tell you the truth, she really does not want to tell something, even her name, to protect her identity. Actually you are not the only one who came here to ask the same thing because many already did ask me. The thing is, she has a favor, and it is my job to secure it. Sorry but you cannot buy it using money."The manager excused herself after her long speech. I almost offered my life for her to do me a favor. I named millions of cash but she stil
This was it. Mom just announced a meeting with me, Neil and Felicia. Speaking of Felicia, she's the someone I never expected to be with in a family meeting since for me she's an outsider, but for the sake of peace, I would just let her because I was sure all she had to do in this meeting was to listen like a good child.My heart was beating rapidly in its abnormal state. I felt like anytime it would explode inside my chest. Neil, in contrary, still looked properly maintained and could be even to smile despite of so many problems.When we reached our promised room, we all sat and busied ourselves with some matter when Mom had not arrived yet, and when she had finally, all respected her presence by bowing down our head.Calm down, I told my heart; because until now it was throbbing so wildly still. This could be the cause of my death if it wouldn't stop from beating rapidly. I breathed in and out. This moment was being announced unexpectedly earlier. I even though
