“I cannot recall how it happened, but I can remember seeing all red when I saw Marco drop like a dead man on the floor after that old scumbag told me that if Marco drank the coffee Marco had made, he would soon be dead from poison,” I answered with a blank face, staring at Marco.  The rear backseat of the vehicle was arranged to flatten wide the space, so Marco could lie on his back while we move him to my place. My lap was his pillow to elevate his head as he was on his back, lying flat on the car floor, almost lifeless as his complexion had turned so pale.  Gab did not say anything. He must have been taken by surprise hearing my statement, but what can I do? I really do not remember. I tried to continue recollecting and told Gab everything I could recall.  “It was only a couple of ten seconds bet

Gab’s POV The moment I stepped out of Marco’s office since that was what the guest demanded I do. Apparently, he did not like my presence because I was not revealing my identity, I asked for one of our men around me to hand me a tab where I could keep an eye on Marco and Skye while they were in the room while I was standing right outside its door.  “Fuck!” I groaned in frustration.  “What’s wrong, boss?” asked the guy who handed me the tablet.  “Can you check the control room to see if they have access to the security cameras inside the boss’ office?” I answered his question with another question, but I was pretty sure they got the panic in my words because everyone turned into full alert without making any sound, not even verbal. 

She told me everything that had happened. Well, according to her statement, that was all she could remember. I was beyond shocked, but I tried to keep my reaction all to myself. I guess she was too busy worrying for Marco that Skye did not notice my astonishment. I wanted to ask if she was alright, knowing she must have seen how Mister Leblanc looked after what she did to his face. But I was afraid to step a line and annoy her or remind her of such ugly thoughts which might trigger her trauma. It would be better if she were conscious, although it might just be temporarily. We arrived at the place. I tried to act as composed as I could manage. I know our security was doing their job, but I did not want to step out of the vehicle without checking our surroundings from my spot inside the car. Considering Marco’s current state, I did not dally, bu

I told Skye the possible scenario of the meeting that she was going to attend in the car on the way to the company. She was calm, as far as I could notice. She was not bothered by anything at all. She just asked a few questions regarding some matters, and I answered all of them according to the best of my knowledge. “Tell me if you feel pressured. We can always shake our sleeves and tell them to wait until Marco returns from an urgent business trip,” I assured Skye. “I have seen how Marco deals with his meetings. I can imitate his behavior and make them feel that although it is a woman’s face they are having the meeting with, Marco’s presence won’t be denied being around,” Skye answered with a stern tone. I did not say anything in response, but I affirmed her words with a firm nod. I got busy contacting our people again, anticipating our arrival in the building, and preparing everything for Skye to face anyone in the conference room. Everyone confirmed their location. Even the doc

“Since one of the members of the board is no longer here to join us, we cannot continue this meeting," I did not try to hide my sarcasm. But when I saw that the men seated at the table were still hesitant to leave, I raised an eyebrow as I rowed my eyes on them, gazing intently."Well, you seem to have so much time to waste, aren't you?" I tapped the tip of my right hand's fingernails on the table. I keenly look at them. I am not sure if I am really intimidating them in some way, but no one seemed to say anything. “If there is nothing you want to say, then I will close this meeting.”The silence in the whole conference room was almost deafening me. However, I still waited for them to speak whatever they had in mind before I stood up and left the place. The members of the board started to murmur, speaking to themselves and the person next to them, but I did not have any clear perception of what they were talking about. Their behavior annoyed me.“ If you have anything to say, I dar
