Staring at her colleague at the table, the lady said, “The most recent news that is taking the country like wildfire, Zane Briggs-” Immediately cutting into the conversation, the fellow added, “Jessie, well, he now goes by Zane Grimes-”A stiff smile crossed her lips as she continued, “Right. Anyways, he has recently established a company called, ‘Golden Key Co.’, and today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony and-”Immediately, Mr. Taylor turned off the TV, frowning at the blank screen, and then he looked over to his wife when Madam Taylor said, “Are we accepting the invitation Zane and Emma sent us... Are we going to this so-called ribbon-cutting ceremony?”“I can't believe Emma kept it from us for an entire month that her husband was establishing a company in the same field as Father,” Elizabeth mumbled with so much sadness in her voice, even though she was excited inside because her father-in-law had been enraged at Emma since he got the invitation yesterday. Snorting at the thought o

After a couple of minutes of standing there, in the midst of their clients, reporters, the Taylors, and security details, Mr. Briggs and the rest of his family could feel the weight of embarrassment crushing their chests. And when they didn't provide their invites after a while, the reporters and the photographers weren’t giving them a second to breathe as their cameras' lights continued to flash nonstop.“Don’t you have an invite, Mr. Briggs?” Mark asked, knowing fully well that they didn’t.The mumblings of everyone in the surroundings only increased in volume due to Mark’s question, and all of the Briggs knew very well that they weren’t getting any good press out of this incident anytime soon.Yet, Deborah tried to savage the moment by saying, “We do have invitations. But we were in so much of a hurry to get here that we left it home.” What she thought would savage the moment only made it worse and the whispers around them only grew louder.“It doesn’t make sense that they would

Looking down at Emma as she gave him a worried glance, Zane gave her a small smile, leaned in closer to her ears and said, “They are side with Damion.”A look of shock swept across her face as her brows snapped together in disbelief, and she asked softly, “Are you sure?”“Watch,” Zane calmly uttered before facing his front, and for a moment, Emma didn’t take her eyes off of him, only to catch sight of the smug smile on his face before she focused on the guests.“Who’s coming with me?” Mr. Briggs asked, seeing a bit of indecisiveness in their expression. “Take the risk with a newly established business, or get a ninety percent bonus from the one who you have been working with for years and are sure of the kind of result you are going to get.” It took a moment, but soon it was clear the guests had chosen Mr. Briggs' side because they slowly started leaving the premises, getting into their cars, and a look of relief crossed Deborah's face as she thought, staring at her husband, ‘Thankf

Remembering his last encounter with Nathan, Zane raised a brow at Mr. Parker’s words, leaning back in his chair as he questioned, “Why would you think I am the man to talk to about this?”For a moment, Mr. Parker eyed Yoko, not knowing if he should speak in his presence, but Zane recognized his uncertainty and said, “Go on. He is with me.”“Oh, I see...” Mr. Parker said, looking directly in Zane's eyes. “I think you can help me because of all this... because within less than two months Golden Key Co. was created, and I don't think anyone has broken the record with such accomplishment in your time frame, except for Mr. Alfred, and for that, you got my interest and respect.” Mr. Parker said, looking directly into Zane's eyes.His straightforwardness made Zane chuckle and shake his head slightly, then he replied, “Okay then Mr. Parker, let's hear it.”Nodding, Mr. Parker lifted a file from beneath his arm and handed it to Zane, who took it, opening the cover and glancing briefly at the i

After ending the call with Terry, Zane looked back at Yoko and was about to speak, when Yoko suddenly took out his phone and dialed Mr. Alfred, and it took one ring, and then the old man's voice came through, “Yoko, what is it,” “There was a hit-and-run incident at Golden key Co. against Zane and me,” Yoko said, his voice humbled with shame at the thought that he properly didn't do his job, “Zane and I are okay. He was smart to push us out of the car's way.”There was a brief silence on the line, and then Mr. Alfred's voice came through a bit annoy, “Zane saved you?”“Yes, boss.”“Did you at least get the license plate number of the car?” Hanging his head low, Yoko hesitated and then said, “No. the vehicle had no license. But Terry and the others chased the person into the T-max mall and lost him.”A sigh left Mr. Alfred's lips and then he said, “I will make some calls. Head to T-max and wait for my response.”Once Mr. Alferd had ended the call with Yoko, he pulled out his phone fro
