Stand Still

Felix and Travis stood in a corner at the opposite end of the hall, patiently waiting for their ride to arrive."Were you really alone out there earlier?" Felix asked.Travis grinned and replied, "You seem awfully interested in my affairs tonight.""Because you have been swearing under your breath all night after whatever happened earlier, which you have chosen not to talk about," Felix accused."Me? Swear?" Travis asked, eyes narrowed in feigned innocence."Yes, and if I didn't know better, I would say it has something to do with Liora. Your eyes seemed to follow her about earlier," Felix stated.A few guests walked past them, waving them good night and smiling their way.Travis responded to a few of them, letting Felix's words hang in the air for a few seconds."Looks like I am spot on." Felix mumbled, adding, "I guess that was why you disappeared on me earlier.""Can we not talk about her?" Travis asked."I was actually concerned because you had a few more glasses than you usually

Send Someone

In the parking lot, Liora turned back and saw her."Yes, it's her," Nicole mumbled.Her eyes were filled with so much contempt that even in the dim light, Liora could feel the brunt of it."Liora? Come on, what are you looking at?" Fiona asked."Oh, it's nothing; I'm coming," Liora replied.Her lips pulled up in a mocking smile as she winked at Nicole before climbing into the car behind the others."What a night," Lily sighed.Ian had chosen to drive them back to the house again."Can we just keep the glasses down instead of using the air conditioner?" Fiona asked."Yes," Ian responded.He turned off the air conditioner and rolled down the car windows. The road was clear, and the night air was cool against their skin."Beautiful," Fiona muttered, staring out the window.She sounded really sleepy as she leaned her head against the window, closing her eyes."Looks like we really have bagged that investment." Betty mumbled under her breath, loud enough for Liora, who was sitting beside h

A Pity

The next day, the sun refused to shine, hidden behind a thick blanket of dark storm clouds. The wind howled through the trees, casting the city in a pale, dark color."Does not look like the weather is with us today." Alex mumbled as he stepped out of the car."It'll clear up pretty soon," Travis said confidently."I hope it does," Alex replied.They had just gotten to the Ashford Group Medical Technology laboratory. It was the official grand opening of the place, but the weather was saying otherwise."When is the team getting here?" Travis asked."In about thirty minutes, but every other thing has been attended to," Alex explained.The day before, while Travis and Felix had gone for the charity event, Alex had stayed back with the team to ensure everything was in place.They walked towards the building in silence for about three minutes before Alex spoke again."You have a brief meeting with the team before the main event," Alex stated."Yes, I know," Travis mumbled.They walked into

Celebratory Dinner

Alex, who stood at the podium, looked shocked, his eyes widening as he cast a quick glance Travis's way.Travis's eyes narrowed, wondering who it could be as he turned to look."For a moment, I actually thought it was your father." Elizabeth muttered before Travis could see who it was.Walking down the aisle was a very confident and calm-looking Scott Cavanade. A smug look on his face as he headed towards a seat."It's Cavanade. ""The Robotics and Medical Life CEO""Attending his own competitor's launch."The reporters murmured, their cameras flashing as they took quick succession photos of the moment.Scott seemed to bask in it as he flashed a smile their way and waved at them."What the f*ck," Travis muttered under his breath.He quickly looked at Alex, raising his brow in question, to which Alex shrugged in response."Hmm, so without any more ado, please welcome Mr. Travis Ashford to the podium," Alex announced.A round of applause erupted from the crowd as Travis stood up and hea

This Level

There was a bit of silence as Travis looked at the face of his father.David's eyes passed over Nicole to Travis before turning toward Michael."We should head over to the Palace Hotel for the party now," David said.Without saying a word, he walked past them and headed towards his car."Well, that went better than I thought it would," Michael whispered to Travis as he walked past him."What the h*ll were you thinking, Nicole?" Travis asked, his voice barely above a whisper, but the venom was unmistakable."It's a good day for you, and I thought it would be nice to come show my support." Nicole shrugged, not in the least bothered by how pissed he sounded."Well, you have now; you can leave," Travis hissed.The reporters were packing also to head over to the palace hotel to set up.As Travis turned, his eyes landed on Scott, who winked at him and waved. before walking towards the exit."Did you come with Scott?" Travis asked, turning back to look at Nicole.Nicole's eyebrows squeezed i

Moving Force

Travis waited patiently for Alex to respond to his question."Hmm, there is a company-wide memo that a new marketing partner has just been signed, and there might be some restructuring in our marketing schedule," Alex stated."A marketing partner?" Travis asked, a deep scowl on his face."Yes," Alex responded, adding, "Are you aware?"With everything that was going on, Travis could not think of anything."Let me have a look." Travis requested.Alex extended the table to him, and Travis scowled at the memo. Attached at the end of it was a picture of the partner."They might also be asked to move into marketing for other sessions apart from the fashion arm of the business. Do you want me to request a review?" Alex asked.Alex was still speaking when Travis responded, "No, there would be no need."The smile in Travis's voice was unmistakable, which made Alex and Felix turn to look at him.Gone was the scowl and confusion that had masked his voice earlier. In its place now was a full-blow

Big Brand

The next day, morning broke soft and calm with birds singing in the trees and a soft breeze blowing the catkins.Liora rolled onto her back and sighed deeply as she opened her eyes to stare at the ceiling."It's another day," she muttered softly.Before she could form another word in her mind, her doors burst open."Mom!" The twins shouted, running into the room.They jumped on the bed and grabbed onto her so tightly. It was the first morning of her being at home by the time they woke up."My sweethearts," Liora grinned, hugging them tightly.They laughed and giggled as Liora kissed them all over the face and tickled them.Their laughter echoed through the room and down the hall."I missed you, Mom," Amelia said, chuckling."Me too. Are you staying home with us today?" Adrian asked.Liora held them close and said, "No, my loves, Mummy has to go save some lives at the hospital today."They didn't respond quickly, sad that she was going out again."Don't you want me to go?" Liora asked.

In Public

As Liora looked back at Lily, Ian also hurried down the stairs after her.“I hear we are leaving now.” Ian started trying to pull up his leather jacket.“Yes, we are,” Lily stated firmly.“Okay, I am done with breakfast, by the way," Liora said, standing up.“Why the rush?” Betty asked.She looked from Liora to Lily with her brows raised in question.“There is something urgent we need to attend to," Lily explained.“Oh, does it have to do with..." Fiona started, moving closer too.“No, it’s not the hospital. I’m sure we would have been called if anything was up," Lily said quickly to address Fiona’s concern.“It’s a project, so nothing for you guys to worry about.” Ian stated with a wide grin.“Well then, let’s go," Liora stated.“I guess we will see you guys later," Betty winked.“Yeah,” Lily said, throwing her a kiss.Liora turned to Julian and said, “Make sure you get them home on time, okay?""Sure, ma’am, I definitely will," Julian said with a broad grin.As Liora turned to look

An Appointment

At the house, the moment the door closed behind Liora, Lily, and Ian, Betty turned and dropped her cup in the sink.“I guess that leaves you and me, Mom," Betty muttered.“I guess so, but I am not sure we can go in together.” Fiona responded.“Come on, Mom, I will be done in an hour or less," Betty grinned.“I doubt that very much.” Fiona responded.“I cross my heart.” Betty said, hurrying towards the staircase.“If I do not see you in an hour, I’ll leave without you.” Fiona called out.“Okay!” Betty shouted in response.Jane stood up, smiling, and took her empty plates to the sink as well.“And how are my sweethearts doing in class?” Fiona asked casually.Jane grinned and said, “They are really brilliant. Sometimes I think they are going to start taking me to classes too.”Amelia grinned at that, her eyes twinkling with pride.“Oh, I see. It must be nice to be so brilliant.” Fiona said, ruffling their hair.“They sure take after their mom," Jane stated.“What about Daddy?" Adrian ask

That One

Julian looked around and blinked his eyes twice again to be sure he was seeing the right hall.“Sir?” The receptionist called.Julian turned confused eyes to her, his hands spread out in surrender as he groaned under his breath.“They were just here," Julian gasped in shock.“Do you mean the shirt twins?” The receptionist asked“Yes, I mean, we were all standing here together. The two of them are about this height," Julian responded, placing his hand a few meters above the ground to indicate the twins' height."Hmm, okay, let’s calm down. I’m sure they didn’t go far. They are probably around the corner or something." The receptionist mumbled.Julian looked around the lobby of the Ashford building and mumbled to himself, “I can’t see any corners right now.”“Just give me a minute," the receptionist said.“Okay,” Julian replied.She turned to her desk and picked up a phone to call someone.Julian closed his eyes in frustration as he mumbled, “Damn it!”He should have known they had some
