I have another bad news for you.” Her secretary was hesitant to continue as she seen her boss’s swollen eyes. “What is it?” Her mood now was so depressing and with another bad news, she doesn’t know if her body can still handle it. “Should I continue ma’am?” The secretary wanted assurance as she didn’t want her Boss to collapse after hearing another bad news. “Please speak up.” Arabella was determined to hear it. She made herself ready to what her secretary is about to say. “It’s about the 2 investors you got last night.

Who would win? “Ms. Arabella, can you tell us your side too?” One reporter curiously asked Arabella. Trishia on the other side was breathing fire as she was used to be the center of attention and in a blink of an eye someone snatched her throne.
