“Are you sure you are not going to divert from the main objective sir?” Jordan's voice filled the place, making Orion take his eyes off the news he was going through on his phone. Orion softly slapped his thigh, raising his brows, and in that moment his eyes were almost visible through the glasses, although it was not a dark shade. Jordan tilted his bead, sucking the air with his mouth, and he let it out from his nostril before adjusting in his swivel chair. “You've gotten an eyeglass.” “And yeah, I know you've been wearing them about ten or fifteen minutes ago, but I think I'm just noticing now,” the words tumbled out in a rush like there was something hot in his mouth. At first Orion squinted, gently taking off the glass, and he dropped it on the table, and for a fleeting moment he turned to the ceiling, like his next words were written on the ceiling. “Yeah, it was given to me yesterday,” Orion began, picking up the glass from the table for a second. “Too much screen time.” “

“Hey,” the scraping sound of the metal chair against the floor clashed with Seraphina's voice, and she finally drew it to the spot that made it obvious that she was satisfied with that spot. “I'm sorry I could not visit you, he was always coming home frequently, even though he did not stay home for long.” Donovan placed his hands on the table, the sound of the handcuff filling the air for a brief moment, and he pressed his lips together, staring deep into Seraphina's eyes as he cleared his throat. “Has there been any sign of improvement so far?” What Donovan asked was quite obvious, and between both of them, there was no need for clarification, but immediately she heard that she dug her nails into her palms, placing it on her thigh. Her lips parted open, only for a sigh to make its way out of her lips. “You know, I don't really…” she paused, swallowing her words with the saliva that filled her mouth at that point in time. “I- I honestly don't—” “He's among the few people who thi

“He just left right now,” those were the first words that left Alicia's mouth as soon as Calvin left the office, and her grip around the phone tightened as she scanned the place with a look of suspicion in her eyes.The first thing that left Janet's lips was a sigh, and the sound of a chair being dragged on the floor followed. “Did you see the news?” “About the man that kidnapped Elysia's child? Yes I did,” Alicia rose to her feet, staring at the door for a couple seconds, and it was at that moment she knew he was not coming back anytime soon. “Immediately he saw that he stormed out of the office with this intense look in his eyes, but something seemed off.” “I could not tell,” she added, staring at Janet's name right after she dropped the phone on the table, tapping the speaker button. “What's that?” The latter asked, her voice tinged with concern. “Does it have to do with what we just saw on the news?” “Everything Janet, this has to do with every fucking thing,” her breath quick

“With everything going on around you, I don't think we can agree on that amount,” a man in a blue suit said, with his eyes directed towards Elysia, and right after he said that he shifted his gaze to Calvin, slightly furrowing his brows. Calvin cleared his throat, adjusting in his chair with a look of disagreement on his face. “You think one hundred and ten million dollars is too much to be invested here?” He demanded, placing his both hands on the table, moving his eyes from one of the man's workers to the other. There were nine people around the long meeting table, and among them, five were from solace press, the remaining were from the other company. “At this point? Yeah I actually think that's a lot of amount to invest in this company,” the man shrugged, almost sinking into his chair, and he gestured towards Elysia with a professional look in his eyes. “Be honest with me Miss Alderidge, if you were in my shoes would you invest that big?” Elysia leaned back in her seat, gently

“There are a lot of hidden things in his life Janet, trust me when I say this,” Alicia's voice came from the kitchen and she placed her phone on the table before wiping her hands with a hand towel that was placed on that same table.Janet let out a sigh, the sound of her heels clicking against the floor evident in the air, but it came to a stop shortly after that.“Have you found anything worth diving deep into?” Janet asked with a louder sigh this time, one that made it obvious that it was a sigh of tiredness. “If you have then I think we should dive deep into it.” “There's nothing,” Alicia's response came in immediately and she forcefully threw the towel against the table, staring at the phone as she got to her feet. “And the fact that I'm yet to find something is what frustrates me the most.” “Shit!” “Do you believe everything's gonna be okay?” Unlike Alicia, whose voice was harsh, Janet spoke in a calm tone, gently pushing her hair behind her ear on the other end of the phone.
