I replied with a little smile. Before things could get awkward between us, the lights in the auditorium dimmed slightly and that served as the signal to everyone that the announcement was about the start.

Within a few minutes’ time, the merger would become public information to all. “Everyone please take a seat. The announcement will begin in a few minutes,” a formal voice announced th

I corked my brows at Issa's defensive stance and it suddenly clicked in my head that Issa thought Duke was trying to flirt with me. Of course he wouldn't— or would he? "Don't be mean, Issa," Deucalion teased. A large clock sounded. It was twelve midnight. The atmosphere in the room shifted and it felt as if things were just starting to get real. "The Announcement is about to commence, Ladies and gentlemen, I suggest that you all prepare yourselves." Even the old man's voice had grown serious. It was a big deal and I was probably the only person in the room taking things lightly.

I bring it out and on the screen is a notification from Andre’s school. ‘Dear Mr. Stewart, this is a reminder that New Dimension Academy’s kids BOOTCAMP is in Five days time. Please we explore you to make the necessary preparations for your kids as a parents - kids BOOTCAMP.’

Amanda expectantly said. “I just hope that this will go just the way we wanted it to because I can’t wait for them to drop the announcement.” Just as I mentioned it, our notifications rang and all of us became silent. We immediately viewed the announcement on Kingsley’s website and after a few moments of waiting, the result had been laid before our eyes.

Bertha touched her chin, lost in deep thought. A moment later she winked at Venn. “I have a very attractive offer, please listen.” Venn looked at her fox-like cunning expression. An hour later, the two of them reached a consensus. In less than five minutes, all employees of Angle company quickly received an emergency notification.
