Every pair of confused eyes turned to Archer. They are all looking at him like he lost his mind.
"Theo is our son. Not just mine but also Beams. Ours" Archer repeated with conviction.
"Son, you are confusing us all, please what is happening? You knew Dr. Beam even before Theo happened? The money? What about the money? Why are there pictures of Dr. Beam in your apartment in L.A.? Is that why you never allowed us to visit you there? Did you help Dr. Beam with his university? Archer? I don't know what to think anymore?" his mother exasperatedly threw him a series of questions.
Beam is intently looking at Archer with nervous anticipation of what he might say. He almost chokes when Archer turns to look at him with his eyes that would always give him gooseb
"Yes, I do love you, the first time I saw you. I'm always there at the bar, Beam, watching you every night" Archer nodded and smiled while Beam remained speechless."It may sound unfair but I look up everything about you. Then I knew what you need and I'm so stupid to offer you that agreement. I wish I just courted you, maybe it made both our lives less complicated" Archer explained frustratedly while Beam stared at him in total disbelief."All this time, I thought you were just a cold-hearted bastard, uncaring and ruthless" Beam whispered, still too stunned to grasp everything."I'm not used to courting, I never court" Archer awkwardly murmured."You don't need to court though, women are flo
Beam and Archer went inside the suite room and instantly the nostalgia came rushing with such intensity.All the memories inside the room come rushing like a storm. Beam closed his eyes when Archer hugged him from the back. His scent is intoxicating as always, it seems like yesterday that they were together on his graduation night. It felt all too familiar, the room, his scent, and the way he held him."I went here a few days ago" Beam whispers."I'm always here every day. Every time I miss you, I would go here. I want to remember and feel how it is to be with you even just from the memories of this room. I want to feel you here, I want to smell your scent here and I want to see your memories in every corner" Archer mumbles in Beam's neck as he tightens his
The next day, the couple emerges from the suite room late in the afternoon. Beam is a little pale and exhausted from the whole night of lovemaking which is extended till midday."You okay love?" Archer worriedly asked after he helped him get inside the car. He grimaced before he found a comfortable position for this throbbing ass."Why did we do one year's worth of fucking if we will do it every day until our lifetime" Beam groaned while he rests his head on the headrest. He is too exhausted to even move. Archer worriedly watched Beam as he grimaced in pain, he didn't know what to answer Beam."Do you think we can increase the dosage of the painkiller you took?" Archer asked instead."I had a
"What happened?" Chris worriedly asked when Beam came back from the Human Resource Office."Termination paper" Beam smiled sadly, raising the paper in his hand."Termination? Of who?" Kent asked while he snatched the paper from Beam."Mine" Beam replied softly before he slumped on the couch in his clinic.He was called by the Human Resource Department earlier right after his patient rounds."What? Why? On what grounds?" Chris exclaimed in total confusion."Serious Misconduct due to Immorality? Are they serious? Is this even legal?" Kent exclaimed exasperated afte
Beam's problems did not stop from the unjust termination. Murmurs and a look of disgust welcomed him the instant he entered the hospital cafeteria. He doesn't have to hear what they were all talking about, he is sure it's about him and it's not pleasant.It's been a busy day and he needs a recharge. He ordered his usual drink and the cafe attendant gave him her usual sweet smile to his great relief. A grumpy food attendant is the least he needs now."Enjoy your coffee Dr. Beam, have a great day ahead" the woman warmly smiled at him."Thank you, auntie, you too, have a great day" Beam gave her a genuine smile before he turned away.While he walks towards the vacant seat, he can feel the drilli
It's the day of the annual stockholder's meeting and all Greys were all formally dressed for the occasion. The men were all in a three-piece suit including Beam while Minerva and Shane were in their formal business dresses. A few days ago, Archer asked him to free his schedule on this day which he readily obliged. Though he was so confused why he was included in the event of Grey Corporation, he contained his curiosity and trust in Archer. Archer is so quiet beside him while inside the vehicle. He seemed to be so lost in his thoughts and wasn't even aware that they had arrived. He remained unmoving while Beam just watched him. "Archer…" Beam called him softly after a long moment of silence. It's only by then, Archer turned to Beam with his confused lo
Everyone turned to look around as confusion ruled the plenary. Murmurs buzzed as the members tried to question each other of the documents in their hands. Daniel Grey raised his hand to silence everyone and gestured to Archer to continue. "The other matter of the agenda is the CEO's resignation as read" Archer continued, ignoring the questioning look of his brothers and the entire members. "I, Archer Grey, Chief Executive Officer of Grey Corporation, am rendering my resignation effective August 30, 2021. Eight years has been a fruitful time for Grey Corporation under my leadership. It's been an honor as the youngest son to lead this company my ancestors had built with blood and tears.
Archer stared at the old man who's a very close friend of his late grandfather. He heaved a sigh and looked around realizing he cannot escape anyone, especially his two brothers who are sharply staring at him."Everyone, I want you to meet someone" Archer casually spoke as he gestured to Beam to come to him. Beam confusedly stared at Archer for a while before he hesitantly stood up and slowly walked towards him."I want you all to meet Dr. Beam Miller" Archer presented Beam to everyone. Everyone's face shows the curiosity of the young doctor's presence and relevance to the CEO's decision to resign.Beam on the other hand stood rigidly in front of everyone's scrutinizing eyes while trying to be composed. Panic is consuming his confidence but the Grey family'
