TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE; My Brother's Best Friend 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 181 - 챕터 190

Ethan's pov I tried calling mandy a few more times but it only went straight to voice mail, even Jonathan and Andrew weren't answering What the hell was going on ?.And the worse part was, Aaron was in jail so that meant anything could happen, and by anything I meant nothing because nothing would be fine about this whole Benson situation.I let out a deep sigh.“Ethan honey, is nobody picking up?” My mum asked from where she stood with Gil, who now had a smiling Amelia in her hands.“No, everyone is unreachable. And I don't know why, I just want to make sure that they are okay.”“I know honey, and they will be.” My mum said again, walking over to me and pulling me into a hug.I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.“Be positive. There is probably an explanation for what's happening”I nodded finding a way to ground myself She was right, there had to be some kind of explanation for what was happening.“What's going to happen now?” Gil asked, her voice filled with concer

Cheryl's pov I looked around the room once again,studying the faces of very confused and displeased board members and cleared by throat, interrupting whatever rumours they were spreading among themselves.“I really do not entertain the thought of being disrespected here, and if you let me finish we can have a civilized meeting and all go back to the order of out day”I didn't speak up again until I heard the little murmurs of agreement “ Now that we have agreed to all be responsible adults and handle this meeting with respect I will continue.” I could feel my voice shaken, but one thing I've learned in the business world is, false confidence often gets you respect. And being seated in a room full of investors and practical corporate sharks the best shot I had at pitching this crazy idea to them, was to at least look confident in what I was saying.“Mr Warner has assumed be that what us going on us beyond what meets the eye” I state, testing the waters to see if they can deal with w

Aaron's POV “I'm sorry I can't do that right now sir.” Clara responded through the line.“Clara it's important, just hand the phone to her she'd explain” I was already frustrated but I tried hard to control myself. “But I really can't sir, she's having a very important meeting with the board and I can't just waltz in there and hand her the phone” Clara answered her voice shaky,like she was scared I would fire her for giving me the wrong answer.Cheryl was already having a meeting with the board ?Damn it.I put the phone to my ear still waiting for Clara to hand the phone to Cheryl like she didn't already explain the situation to me.When I heard the sound of footsteps, followed by a new voice approaching the door.Shit. I disconnected the call, if Adam walked in here and discovered I had a phone he would have it confiscated. Quoting something about how he was just following protocol, I couldn't catch a fucking break.Kyle glanced at me apologetically before the door was pushed open

Mandy's pov I couldn't feel my fingers, from typing out a couple files by hand all day.With the stupid press announcing the state of things at Warner industries, we the employees received a general order to wrap up our work for the week.Which meant I had over 40 hours of work to do in under 24 hours. I stretched myself like a starfish on my office chair before standing up.I needed a break before I turned into a puddle of work, I grabbed my flask pouring myself a cup of my false coffee, practically drowning myself in the warm sweetness as it reaches my lips.I stepped out of my office, still enjoying my drink in small sips. Everyone was busy, so there was barely anyone in the hall, as I strolled down the long walkway massaging my cramping legs.Away from the distraction of my computer the same thoughts I had been trying to stop, came tumbling back into the ridges of my mind.The last time I spoke with Ethan he said Aaron was in Texas, could that be where he is still?Had he turned h

Ethan’s POVThey’re both still standing there, my mum on one side of the bed and Connor on the other, and neither of them is saying anything. But instead, standing very still.The silence weighs down on my chest, like a brick harder than the pain in my head.“Mum,” I say finally, my voice thin, unsure. “Tell me exactly what happened, whatever it is.”She let out a breathe slowly, like she’s been holding it in for a while. Her fingers tighten around mine.“You fainted,” she says gently.I frown, trying to reach back into my memory, trying to pull up anything that could explain that. There’s nothing. Just static. Fog.“I don’t remember,” I admit. “I don’t remember what caused it.”“That’s normal,” she replied quickly. Too quickly. “The doctor said memory gaps can happen when the body and brain is under stress.”Stress.That word feels too small, to describe how I felt, to describe what exactly was happening.She hesitates, then continues, “They ran some scans, Ethan. Just to be safe.”
