83 - The Confrontation
Monday morning saw the newlyweds back at the office, bright and early. Max had a presentation coming up, and the impromptu vacation they had in Hawaii had set him back. He needed to work double-time just to prepare for his pitch.
Celine decided to stay since Sebastian was in town anyway, so she would return to work when she was ready. She hung out with her sister and lounged in her room all day, sleeping when she felt tired. Right now, she had happiness written all over her face as she interrupted Max for some attention.
‘Husband, I think you have been working so hard all day. I think you need a break,’ she drawls while removing his tie. She was straddling his lap with her legs folded on the side of his swivel chair.

In Max’s office, the siblings, Clara, Max, and Jeremy, together with Celine and Sebastian, were sitting on one side. While Tory and Nathan sat across from them, not close together because Nathan was still carrying a grudge, but on the same side of the couch so the kids could see their expressions. Security was summoned earlier to defuse the situation, and the group of men who responded followed everyone into Max’s office to make sure they were available if needed. They were protective when it came to their employers and were ready to jump in. ‘You guys can leave. We can take it from here.’ Clara said dismissively to the guards. She did not want them gossiping about Max’s family because of what they will hear today. They were trustworthy, but since she did not know how sensitive the information would be, she wanted to grant Max his privacy. ‘I would rather one of us stay,’ the guard who had a baseball cap on stepped forward and replied in an insistent tone. Clara looked at him quizz
Max's Revelation 85 - Victoria (2)
She was 17 and in no way developed as a woman, so it was easy for him to look the other way. Plus, her face was caked with too much makeup, making her look like a donut covered with too much sugar. This was fine with him because the more reason he didn't need to look at her, meant he was clear of any sins, and he badly needed this job. Victoria tried her best to seduce him, but everything was fruitless. She was a client and a stepping stone he would use to be good at his job. If Andrew could manage this pint-size, demanding princess, then he could manage anything the security business would throw at him and his life. It was just one step toward achieving his goals. Five years, he gave himself that much time to save up and become somebody. When she couldn’t get him to pay attention to her, she turned to partying and her friends. This was more work for him because she kept disappearing at these so-called parties, leaving with her friends, that it became a game. How successful they woul

The first week was hectic. Tory and her team came before Fashion Week was even in session, just so she could get a feel of the place, get her designs ready, and get her models fitted with her designs. Her family wanted to fly in her own models, but she didn’t want to be too extravagant and excessive, calling attention to herself. One thing they made her bring from home, aside from the staff and assistants, was her bodyguard, Andrew. She may be in another country where few people recognize her, and her life might not be in danger, but they still need her to take precautions. She was the only daughter of the Manchesters, and they could not jeopardize her safety. They wanted her to take two guards, but she insisted on one or none. Having two men follow her all the time would look suspicious. If she had only one, she could tell that he was her driver and that was more acceptable than security.Tory and h
Max's Revelation 89 - Avery

He tried to keep out of their sight when Avery ran to him and squealed, ‘Dada!’He scoops him up and apologizes. ‘The boy calls me that because there are no other male figureheads in this house,’ the lame excuse rolling off his tongue did not taste so good.
